  5. The only reason Diddy got money is cuz of his business shit. He sucks as a rapper.
    And I’m a fan of Akon and all, but how did his euro-trash music album get more than C3?
    Third, I gota give props to Eminem for gettin so much dough. Especially since he didn’t release anything last year.

  12. You got to keep in mind, most of the rappers listed higher then lil wayne all have clothing brands and movies and video games and what not. Lil wayne is just music. and how many times did he get sued?
