i'd say diddy
just cos dude has no real 'talent' and ended up becoming the best hustler hip hop has ever seen
also, its 2013 and diddy been top since '91

Not Diddy because he had a college education & a blood sucker.
Not P because of the above reason and he made his money selling atrocious stolen music.
I would say Jay-z because he really had nothing going for himself, no diploma, mid-late 20's rapper no one cared about to the very top all while giving us dope music along the way
How Dre bounced back TWICE after being jerked hard in the industry was a testament to his talent & very admirable as well.

Y'all ain't got no luv for Suge?
Suge took over the rap game with some goons and a dream.....Diddy ain't even possible with out Suge,not sayin Suge killed Biggie
but I think its safe to say he died behind the beef with Pac....if Biggie doesn't die I can't imagine people supporting Puffy out in the forefront like that.
Without Suge freein up Dre its a good chance he would be sumwhere hiding from Eazye had he got out his contract,its a chance he doesn't come across Eminem becuz he doesn't become "dr dre".....which means 50 might not blow up quite like he did and have the same connections and make the same moves....and he tried to get a distribution company set up with J Prince and Irv,that woulda been big
A lot of this rap shyt u see in the mainstream its a good chance doesn't happen without Suge Knight.....gotta salute Jay-Z too,his story and better than 50 bcuz he wuz able to maintain the popularity,music quality,and the money.....E-40 also a true tyc00n did the heavy listing by himself,wuz a great financial advisor in his raps,and been owned wing stops before y'all knew what a boss was
Master P id say is the most ambitious mogul of all time,scared money don't make money and P ain't scared.....he did lose a lot of money I think tryna do too much but he still rich as fuk...conned Oprah and the world
....dude takes risk and has had his hands in just about everything

Diddy....simply for being a Howard nikka 
Its still teachers here from when he was here. Apparently, all them nikkas from Making the Band......Harve Pierre, Phil (bald head dude that managed Da Band), D. Dot (producer dude), Mark Pitts (Chris Brown manager and lightskin dude from the Notorious movie) all went here with Diddy back in the day. Diddy and them was throwing parties all over the area, making alot of noise in the party circuit. I think (assuming here) that's how he got the "in" with whoever put him on with Uptown. Kevin Liles was doing the same in Baltimore when he was going to Morgan State.
But anyway, Diddy left to go work at Uptown while all his boys stayed behind at school and when he got on, he put all of them on. My aunt told me came he came here recruiting people at Blackburn (building on campus) one year (early 90s), telling people he needed interns for this label he was starting. Most people were
shyt is hilarious to think about it now. Also, he comes back every year for Homecoming but, back in the 90s, Biggie really, really fukked with Howard. He loved it down here. They had pics in the school newspaper from like "93, "94.........from before Biggie got famous and right after Ready to Die came out, and he was chillin around campus like he wasn't Biggie 
Edit: found it
