Forbes Hip-Hop’s 2008 Cash Kings
While Jay-Z topped Forbes.com’s inaugural Hip-Hop Cash Kings list of the top-earning people in the business last year, in 2008 he cedes the throne to Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, who raked in $150 million over the past 12 months–almost twice what Jay-Z made.
Damn I guess that long journey 50 Cent has been on to get on Jay-Z’s level has finally happend, that vitamin water deal is what pushed him over the top, because it sure wasn’t this and it most certainly wasn’t this. Musically he’s been having a couple misses lately but knowing him he’s probably working on something crazy right now.

Comment by Mr. 17/5 on 21 August 2008:
50 tops the list by a long shot. For all you wanna b hip hop heads, I told you, 50 get money. Clearly he gets more than Jay. Everybody swears Jay gets a billion or more, but doesn’t. Fif don’t even have to rap.
“I get it.”
