[MiC]

3 kings

them other nikkas always playin catch up...with no chance of ever getting remotely close

Word puff dre and jay. All from the mid 90s or before.

No one else close

 

[Still FloW]

And none of these guys are doing anything for the black community. Nice.

oh.. you mean the G-unity foundation which has been running for years or the SK feed a million kids...

foh with that hate in your eyes ol lame ass fakkit...

 

[BAiiNE]

I thought 50 had more than that

You would think that right? I think it's cause he's had the same net worth for the last 5 years aleast, everyone else shyt (dre, diddy, jay) is going up

Is Hov still getting paid off Rocawear?

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

And do what?

open the first black owned MAJOR label or MAJOR distributor

but by all means... keep being workers

Yet the Chronic is better and more influential than any album by Jay Z

Thats subjective and irrelevant to your comment, Dre is not a rapper, period. But since you brought up the Chronic you helped me point out how Jay is the only one in the top 4 who actually got rich of his own talent and not standing next to someone else who wrote their material for them (BIG, Snoop and Wayne).

At one point forbes said 50 was worth $400million, and forbes didn't even cover birdman till after that $100 million song came out, at which point they valued his worth at ....$100 million. Forbes is full of shyt

funny thing is forbes puts a disclaimer in every single year... saying exactly how they came up with the numbers.. and also that's its fabricated bullshyt

and still, every year, everyone takes it as gospel

And none of these guys are doing anything for the black community. Nice.

every time there's a tragedy jay is the first person to help... but still they don't call him the dude that takes his money and gives gifts at the projects

 

[RoseWooD]

at nikkas thinking Forbes has ANY knowledge whatsoever of what anybody is accurately worth....its an impossibility for them to know shyt but they tell you its an estimation tho

 

[Jayson_bourn]

every time there's a tragedy jay is the first person to help... but still they don't call him the dude that takes his money and gives gifts at the projects

And gave the proceeds to every ticket sold, BUT when i'm out on the road thats how you judge hov? No

 

[Big Boss]

dre making a killing off them headphones

 

[Razzay]

Big homie

 

[Black smoke and cac jokes]

I see three entertainers who've done nothing more than capitalize on the backs of poor black people...but...whatever.

That being said...the fact people argue over this always blows my mind. These forbes lists are somewhat of a detriment to the culture.[DOUBLEPOST=1397686681][/DOUBLEPOST]
I find it funny these numbers always go up...it assumes NO money is ever spent. Which is absolutely retarded.

Thats why I never believe it.

Capitalize on the backs of poor black people? Please enlighten me more to your thoughts on this because I didn't know that only black people was buying hip hop music & going to hip hop concerts?

Sounds to me more like crabs in a barrel

I agree with the first part but that quote is exactly why USA is the highest in the rankings for developed countries' wealth inequality.

 

[W.I.Z.E.]

Whether the list is 100% accurate or not is not really the point.

Hopefully people are researching and trying to understand how these young black men, most who came from poverty, were able to make hundreds of millions of dollars.

P.S. - Many of them made money even in the recession while most people in this country were losing some of their wealth.
