Jay-Z, and P-Diddy dorminate Forbes Cash Kings List,; 50 Cent slips further down the list

Forbes has been known to draft a list of the highest earning artist in hiphop over a period of twelve months through the year; running from July- July of the next year. Three people that have been constant on the list have been JAY-Z, P-DIDDY and 50 CENT, but 50 cents slips way below his 2nd position in 2008, and 4th position last year.

Below are some of the artist on the list:
Forbes released their annual hip-hop cash king list today and at the top of the pile is Jay-Z. They estimate Hov grossed $63 million last year. Rounding out the top five are Dr.Dre ($17 million), Lil Wayne ($20 million), Akon ($21 million) and Diddy ($30 million) (Rap Radar)

Wow! Jay doubled the earnings of diddy, the second on the list. I think jay is just in a lane of his own right now. He must have made must of that money from his BLUEPRINT3 album, and all the touring. I guess he has to compete against his wife, BEYONCE, and that would definitely keep him on his toes.

Check out some other artist on the list:
6. Ludacris, $16 million. 7. Snoop Dogg, $15 million. 8. Timbaland, $14 million. 9. Pharrell Williams, $13 million. 10. Kanye West, $12 million. 11. Drake, $10 million. 12. T.I., $9 million. 13. Eminem $8 million 14. 50 Cent, $ 8 million 15. Young Jeezy (Forbes)

I kinda feel really good to see that LUDACRIS is making his dough, because he is so under-rated. Snoop must have made all that money from his sitcom, "snoopdog fatherhood", because i don't see any other way he made all that money, because his album, MALICE N WONDERLAND, did not do good numbers.
