He's a businessman. He doesn't have to be talented. At least not musically.

Untalented? He's a great producers, great executive, great A&R, great at brand management and has historically made great hits i.e. great hit maker.

if there hasnt been one so far, there wont be one in the future

 

[King Poetic]

nope

The demand to supply isn't there.

Hip-Hop isn't a facebook that everyone from every ethnic background and ages are looking for

 

[Mastamimd]

No man....everyone has probably capped off at the amount that they will make altogether, and unless they make a huge entrprenual breakthrough, they will still make money but not enough to break through one billy.

There could have been several hip-hop billionaires if they moved beyond just making music to controlling all aspects of business (distribution, radio etc.). Diddy, Jay-Z, etc will never be billionaires they are still slaves, well paid slaves, but they dont control anything in the industry.

According to a google search Jay Z + Beyonce

http://www.ibtimes.com/beyonce-jay-...y-pop-musics-first-billionaire-couple-1196269

Beyoncé and Jay-Z are reportedly pop music's first billionaire couple

The 31-year-old Beyoncé is raking in millions from her “Mrs. Carter” show tour, which began Monday night in Serbia. The Daily Star reports that Beyoncé is set to earn approximately $116 million from the world tour.

She is also making millions as the new face of H&M.

Meanwhile, Jay-Z has earned millions as co-owner of the 40/40 club, which has two locations in New York, and is reportedly selling his small share with the NBA Brooklyn Nets to extend his Roc Nation Sports representation business into basketball, according to Yahoo Sports.

Untalented? He's a great producers, great executive, great A&R, great at brand management and has historically made great hits i.e. great hit maker.

No to all of this

 

[SpacelySprockets]

Diddy will be, then Godfather 50

 

[mortuus est]

who wants to be a billionaire when kneegas are hood rich when they get 20k

 

[Blackout]

Like Chris Rock said with his explaining of the difference between just being rich and going farther and being wealthy.

These nikkas are too satisfied being rich to even think about being wealthy.
