In response to the OP, Mack 10 got 3 gold solo LP's not counting the westside connection albums. Don't mean he aint broke today, but there are better examples of career rappers who never sold or made any hits.

It's amazing that it's 2012 and people STILL will make up and believe anything about rappers they like... and STILL want to believe they're making big money...

All I can do is laugh and chill.

jadakiss and styles have done so many guest 16's on people's albums for the last 15+ years going. there is NO excuse for them not to have cake.

TMZ: Mack 10 Gets Totally Screwed in Court

Rapper Mack 10 has been victimized by the courts … a judge is requiring him to pay a creditor a debt which includes interest that is totally illegal.

Mr. Mack borrowed $35,000 from Tadayuki Ito back on April 24, 2010. Under the terms of the deal, Mack was required to pay Ito $70,000 by August 31, 2010 — in other words, 100% interest for a 3-month loan. That squarely violates California law, which prohibits “usury” — i.e., excessive interest on loans.

On April 28 — 4 days after getting the first loan — Mack borrowed $65,000 from Ito, and agreed to pay back $130,000 by September 30, 2010 — again, squarely violating the usury law.

Under California law, a creditor who charges interest that violates the usury law is entitled to NO interest from the debtor.

But here’s what happened. Ito sued Mack, and Mack did not show up in court. The judge entered a default judgment — presumably after looking at the 2 contracts — in the amount of $229,668.86 — which includes the exorbitant paybacks, as well as additional interest and attorney’s fees.

It’s baffling the judge enforced what is clearly an illegal agreement.

Mack and Cube's beef is partly about the brother-in-law and more about the verbal exchange between Mack and Cube's wife.

Notice how Mack mentioned "his wife being present".

Plus he's big in the UK

 

[Insensitive]

I'm pretty sure Styles P makes more in a year of touring than most of us will see in six to five years with a 9 to 5.

didnt Diddy have to buy out Red Cafe's contract wit Mack 10 or something? or that mightve been Akon

All the UK heads, trust me Styles gets a lot of love.

I should've said London though.
