Houston rap vetaran, and member of the now defunct UGK, Bun b claims only 6 rappers are making money off hiphop. He doesn't name names but says hiphop albums sales are at a alltime low.
I'm positive that he wouldn't have made this comment like 2-3 years ago when every rapper from the south was going platnum. Now that its clear that the domination of hiphop is slowly going back to the east, southern rappers should just be satisfied with their ringtone sales money. Not one southern rapper, apart from T.I and ludacris have been able to go Gold in the last 18months. A lot of them don't even sell up to 200k.
One cannot help but feel for the real rappers from the south that are going to be affected by this shift in control of hiphop. Real rappers like bun b himself, scarface, chamillionaire, ludacris, T.I and jeezy.
If i was meant to name the top 6 rappers making money from hiphop, i'd say kanye, lil wayne, T.I, eminem, young jeezy and the game.
