Forbes: Hip Hop's Cash Kings


Jigga tops Forbes List of Hip Hop earners last year See story here.

However the bigger picture is how many cats on this list came up under Dr. Dre. The Good Doctor has 5 cats, not including himself, on the list(highlighted in red). They list Pharrell as being Hip Hop's Quincy Jones(Maybe in his global personality) but in terms of the wealth of opportunity he's provided that title has to go to Dre. Not to leave out the second story of the list...ATL has 6 cats on the list(Highlighted in money green)..Young Joc!!! Now that's Hustlenomics!!!
