First there was Russell Simmons, then Diddy, then Jay-Z, who's next to reach mogul status??
I'd say 50 or Kanye but they both are loose canons and are constantly putting their foot in their mouths. Weezy has trukfit and ymcmb...hes a possibility but its hard to envision a guy with tattoos on his face and has a history of drug induced seizures rubbing elbows with corporate America. Drake has the image and although he started out acting I dont see him branching out into other arenas like fashion. Who am I forgetting?

It's impossible to predict such things, for all we know it could be anybody. 50 is already a mogul though, SMSAudio, CheetahVision, StreetKing and SMSBoxing are all companies he started/spearheaded. You forgot Dre too...then again it was Will.I.Am who gave Jimmy the idea of getting into hardwear

Wayne isn't a businessman .Birdman is. Drake could turn out to be savvy capitalist. He is jewish afterall

I dont know why but I dont see 50 as being on the same level as Diddy, Hov, and Russell Simmons. Try he has a variety of hustles but to me he doesnt rep a global iet setter type to me. Something's missing for me to where I cant give him props as a.mogul/tyc00n. Dre either. He's been around a long as a rapper/producer and now he has his headphones.....not enough for mogul status. True, it could be anybody but if you had to put money on someone with a background in rap to break through and reach the top of corporate capitalist america, who would it be? Master P was on his way but he fell off somewhere along the way. If Mr. West can stop spazzing out on ppl and acting like a lunatic he could. He has to get out of his own way. Ross hangs in the right circles to catapult himself to the top.
F*ck it, im gonna say Drake will be the next to hit mogul status. If he can continue to ignore all of the haters and branch out into other arenas, sky's the limit. Yeah, I said it! Lol

I know y'all aren't going to agree but Low key I think it will be Tyler The Creator. Has his own label has his own clothing line has a band signed makes beats videos and all that. His money is in a lot of places and he has a strong following.

But I bet y'all won't look past his antics to see what I'm talking about :beli:

None. The rap industry is rebounding from the non-lyrical era that dominated for so long. Plus the general public is tired of Hip Hop and rather have white faces make music that black folk created.
