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.

Its not based on album sales only......its basically anything music related that brings in money.....ringtones.....clothing.......games......etc....

YES I agree, but you're another who racks it PRO...doing a whole lot at METRO and lecturing and stuff... I can at least make yo home takes with my 9-5...either way... you rack it in the entertainment biz... As for producers... I think Bongz kills many or all!!!

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!!!
