One Web site has ranked the gaudy piece of jewelry among the "greatest" in Hiphop.
The cake's baker must have agreed, as the confection is decorated with a ton of edible diamonds and frosting on the side that spells out "41st side," a nod to the notorious intersection of 41st Avenue and Vernon Blvd. in Queens immortalized on Illmatic, which just celebrated its 20th anniversary with a new documentary.

Until either of those album drop, happy birthday, NaS!
