Hip Hop is proving that it means big business! Forbes has decided since the genre has become a money making machine, to rank the Top grossing Hip Hop artists, based on their 2006 income alone. Surprisingly, 6, producers make up the Top ten, which means what I always say is true...the money is behind the scenes!
Topping the list is Jay-Z, coming in close 2nd is 50 Cent! Scott Storch really still isn't making Timbo money...6 spots behind the Aftermath giant. Luda is always making money and nobody notices making 16 million. And the most shocking to me is number 20...Yung Joc...if he can make 10 mill with those raps...hmm!
