Forbes 2018 Hip Hop Cash King List Who’s In, Who’s New, who’s out

Nas.jpgForbes annual Hip Hop cash ling list was released earlier this month & as no surprise you can guess at least 3 familar faces moguls Jay Z, Diddy, & Dre with Jay Z sitting on top of the list with 76.5 million made last year. Noticably missing this year is Cash Moneys Brian “Birdman” Williams & Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson. As a surprise to many Nas made the list for the 1st time after dropping his debut album Illmatic more than 2 decades ago, racking in over $35,000,000 which is a lot but still puts him only at 6 on this list putting him under a rapper J. Cole who looks up to Nas a lot.

Just for disclaimer this list shows Forbeshow much these rappers made or were worth it doesn’t mean they get to keep all the money they make (taxes, management, housing, etc). Food for thought, but hip hop lets continue to get this money, all of it.

Who yall expect to make the list next year, tell me, hit me on Ig or tweet me both @Whobeta.

Kanye West says they didn’t get get on Hype out of respect for Meek Mills, plus tidal apple beef

It seems that the Meek Mill vs. Drake beef is now affecting Good Music, the once highly anticipated collaboration between Drake, Kanye West & Jayz  for Drake’s summer 16 album “Views” never made the album partially out of respect for Meek Mill, who is under Jay Z’s Roc Nation management, but after Kanye vowed to end the beef so that the fans could get what they deserved, the new unsolvable issue became percentage differences between Jay Z’s tidal, and Drakes distribution via Apple. On an extended clip obtained by The Shade Room, Kanye goes further saying there will never be a “Watch the Throne 2” partially because of these technicalities, and that he was upset that Hov didn’t stop by after Kanye’s Wife Kim West was robbed at Gun Point, check out the full rant here.
