in the US that is..
Down here things are a bit different you can entertain all you want.. :(

...you can entertain all you want.. :(
HAHAHA!
I would have a**umed that Weezy made more of that Arab money. Almost as much as Slim who did not even release any commercially successful album. guess it's paper from other sources not just sales and performance fees.
-
Nice to see tCommon making more cream than Lil Jon. Peace to Luda and Game for being on that list. The gap between 50 and the rest is crazy though. Wonder how Diddy feels.
-
the thing is - that is what they actually made in the year of 2008! Overall Jay Z is still the man...looking at over 600 mil!
-
Peace to the legend Dre for being on that list
Bigs ups to Game, Luda and Common for making it...niggas that make music that won't make you wanna smash your sound machine.

Is this for album sales only? if it is that means that: this list is not a true reflection of what is happening in the industry.

LOL!
Eish...forgot about him too... I remember saying to myself after watching that Ventilation DVD:
"AMU is on Wavelab 6... what are we niccz doing with Pro Tools?" and laughed... $#it was funny flossing like that...... I wouldn't go as far as saying he gets payed, I never heard anything yet...meaning evidence. If he does go other routes to get mo money, surely hip hop doesn't pay...its like CRIMES alter-ego!!!

Don't sleep on Sibot either - he's constantly on tour and does a lot of advertising work.

Damn, D, we posted this at exactly the same time. Simon does a lot of ad work for internationals.

Yeah...D-Pleezee does so well signing most/all dope CAPE MCs ;D he'll start signing them at birth clinics...thats cuz he sees potential from a distance ;D
JOKES MAN!
But yeah...I believe D-Pleezee is so humble and yet mum with his estates that he goes unnoticed, one thing I would mention and some may be offended about it is that most BLACK ppl are inconsistant about running business.

From a distance I'd say it looks like Ready D getting his due, Ishmael seem to stay busy, I know Draztik is getting that CNN Africa dough, Nyambz doing commercials too, but I've heard made mention of HHP being on top before in the past...

-
Lil John has been inactive for a while in music but his energy drink business keep making that dough. Anyway shout out to everyone in South Africa Black, white, coloureds making that Gwap providing for their families and living their lives.

Untill U cats make real hiphop which is timeless I will never stop burning your CD's, what's the point of buying shit you only play for one week and it's a bore after that? I was bumpin' that "Fire" track from the L.E.S album almost the whole of December, now I can't stand it! Imagined if I had actually copped that ish? But The Book of Proverb, Listener's digest, The Given Mixtape along with all other Cla**ics I bought are still competing for a spot in the shuttle of my whip!
f*** 'out of here!!

doesnt that give the artist more exposure?

It does man but also distroys an artist.....that CD burning bootlegging shit kills an artist.......Thats why some artists mostly underground have decided to push their own stuff on the streets, but even that doesnt stop CD burning......

what I always say. Then people get their knickers in a knot about it.
I always download and burn discs. I fI like what I hear and I still feel like listening to the shit after a while, I always make sure to buy the disc if I can find it.
I hate that fire joint though. I thought it was some American trying to be Weezy or T-Pain the first time I heard it. Only to realise its a South African trying to some American trying to be Weezy or T-Pain.

i don think piracy has much of an effect on cats not gettin enough dough, coz heads know which cd's are worth buyin and which ones to bootleg...i think HHP ,Prokid and maybe Tuks are the only cats eatin off hiphop locally..Then there's Tumi and Sharpa wit all that overseas money..Slikour and Pro seem to be also gettin theirs but its from outside hiphop.

I am surprised to see Common there. Thats a good look.
50 should quit rap and stick to business cause thats definitely his forte.
