Jay-Z

Jay-Z – 35 Million
Diddy – 30 Million
Kanye West – 25 Million
50 Cent – 20 Million
Akon – 20 Million
Lil Wayne – 18 Million
Timbaland – 17 Million
Pharrell – 16 Million
T-Pain – 15 Million
Eminem – 14 Million
Dr.Dre – 13 Million
Snoop Dogg – 11 Million
Ludacris – 10 Million
Common – 8 Million
Will.I.Am – 8 Million
T.I. – 8 Million
Swizz Beatz – 8 Million
Andre 3000 – 7 Million
Big Boi- 7 Million
Flo-Rida – 6 Million
Rick Ross – 6 Million
The Game – 6 Million
Young Jeezy- 6 Million

50 Cent went from 150 million last year to 20 million, Jay-Z went from 82 million to 35 million this year, even with all that Lil Wayne did the last 2 years only garners him the 6th position with 18 million. This might not look bad at first because it’s still millions but if these are the numbers for the elite, you can just imagine what everyone else is doing.

Damn, those are big dropoffs!
It also clearly shows that the rappers with the most money aren’t the best – most of those artists there are on some simple cat in a hat rhymes
