[timonredbull]

[SlimEminem313]

Ludracis is a sell out doing a song with jb seriously

[JadenMossTV]

Dude Eminem is the highest selling rapper period over 85 million dollars in... and 50cent being name richest rapper for a year base on him making the most don't mean he's the richest rapper ever lmao these numbers are off and swizz have way more bread trust,,,

[RAPazinho7]

@JadenMossTV 50 is the richest. but not because of rap only. he has a lot of buisiness. like vitamin water. g unit cloth. has his own label and etc...

[JadenMossTV]

@RAPazinho7 My G sincerely that's incorrect reason being that Jay=Z started all of that clothin, label, liquor, heineken, chevy, movie company, etc speaking of clothin he has two brands he's still owns the rights to rocawear and so on analyze the years fifty came in the game and do the math on jay... puff & jay running right next to each other inna sense. fifty did him with that water shit but that doen't mean ish it goes deeper...

[siekiersk]

this is not correct at all dre and eminem had way more in 08

[jimmer32byubball]

haha too bad Eminem is the top selling rap artist ever..

[MiKsUn96]

[Tec9family]

[madgamer12351]

50 cent is the richest of all he made about 200 million in a movie. go search it up thats i got to say

[kosmosleha]

I thought that "The Game" is waaay above that pussya ss lil wayny bitch

[royalsteven]

I respect rappers hustle and all. But in the end you have all the money and then what? All you want is more and more. Buying, consuming, wanting, needing. But you can never buy the universal things like love, peace, spirit, life and happiness. Material is temporary. I would advice people to get knowledge and lessons from the bible instead. Owning and earning too much money is only nice for so long. It is much more satisfying to give it away. At least for me. I invest time in my spirit and God.

[jagedyshagedy]

How does lil wayne make more than Eminem he just went mainstream in 2008

[bulletproof0987]

im pretty sure diddy made more than 35mil

[MrMrSouthphilly]

[kiddlewis99]

Eminem Is the second richest probobly this dude has 10x platinum album and a diamond album and his aLbums have went by the very least platinum and that would be in like germany or alstrailia

[TheMambavenom]

Top 20 Richest Rappers own $515 million.

[ragingdemon14]

Um who got the numbers because I think the way off

[quisqueyanobaliente]

bull shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheGreatDeciever55]

Rap is one of the easiest things to do.... im sorry but none of these rappers deserve a quarter of the earnings thet pull in. am i the only one who sees this? If i was a rapper I'd bleed the rich masses for every dime they have--then push it all back into the impovershed of not only in NA but around the world. A Million goes a loooooooooooooooooong way--unless you spending it on houses and cars....i love HipHop but this is why i have no doubt humans evolved from monkies ahahah

[kracka7]

@TheGreatDeciever55 i think they deserve it.. do you not see were most of them came from!!!

[TheGreatDeciever55]

@kracka7 The Projects arent as bad as you tihnk they are. The BIGGEST problem with the projects--is ignorance is rampant. Every where you go--you look at a nigga wrong your gunna get your ass beaten---they hold themselves back. nobody deserves 15 million dollars+ because it isnt possible TO SPEND THAT MUCH---unless you toss it down the fucking toilet on frivolous things. 50 cent and Jay Z rhyme about having love for the projects---then sit back on their millions letting it rot. Fuck em.

[TheGreatDeciever55]

@kracka7 besides, the usual American salary---on average---is about $46,326 (as a median). The majority of the people in "the projects" make about that or less.--And at the same time, they usually work two jobs of manual labor for about 12 hours a day--while these guys sit, smoke a blunt and write down some fucking doctor seusss shit and pull more in a year than the collective people "in the projects". --Thats fucking dumb.

[kracka7]

@TheGreatDeciever55 i understand.. but i think america loves to see the image of a rapper. they can rap about there past and the listener can relate to that. then on the other side the listener sees how rich they are and it gives them motivation. aslo why do you think mtv cribs is so popular. because america loves to se rich people and all tha tight ass shit they have. butthen again this is just my idiot oppinion hah.

[TheGreatDeciever55]

@kracka7 Not an idiot opinion--your right. However it doesnt lend any sort of credibility towards being rich---because America also likes to see people get murdered and raped on T.V everyday.....doesnt meaning we should set goals to rape people. Which is EXACTLY what those people making that money amounts to--RAPE--because those same people who work two jobs for less pay---have to pay these rappers 15 bucks a C.D--for what?--so these people who RHYME WORDS can get ANOTHER Lincoln Nav? Fuck That.

[palsieti]

OMFG...150$ for 50

[mpoho2000]

Also - This video is a bit inaccurate. While 50 cent is worth 150 Million total, that accounts for his huge profit in vitamin water plus all his records

Dr. Dre makes appx 20 million dollars a year in royalties off his artists. He also sold part of his Aftermath Entertainment for over 50 million. Along with all the other new artists he has created in the last 2 years and business ventures he's up past the 100 million category. And he doesn't even rap...(Detox...I'm still waiting)

[mpoho2000]

50 Cent, Dr. Dre, Jay-Z are the richest. Other rappers don't even come close to what these guys are worth.

[Z3ndaL]

how all this niggas make money than the best rapper in the world Eminem?

[qualitystreetkee]

dr dre .. wtf?

[qualitystreetkee]

this is fake.. em was paid more than that years before

[chubphucka]

people can say ill never be this or ill never do that all you want.....run apon a million dollars or more and all of a sudden that ''i wont sell out personality'' BS will all fly out the window....i learned a long time ago that people should never say what they will or will not do...UNTIL you are in that situation.....it makes me laugh when people really think that these rap stars really care about respect more then money LOL......you only care when ur BROKE.....thats the truth

[driftkids13]

for the few that dont know but it dont mean shit till you have reached what Master P is worth he is the richest rapper ever. over 650 milli. which proves its all about longevity not one hot year.

[zkiller1876]

this is bull shit its all mix up get your shit right befor you make some shit like this

[icyblk]

? how is akon a rapper....the richest ones are also well known producers & damn good ones so it makes sense

SHHHHHHHITTTTTTTTTT 82 millll thats a hell of a jump from the dude before him & YEAAAAA 50 at the top

[icyblk]

CHAMILLIONAIRE?! holy shit

[nonofyall]

And money is the only thing that get love

They say don't let it make you, but that's how they rate you

And the more you got, the more they hate you

Rakim's view on money. All of you shallow bitch ass niggas who rate rappers after paper can go and suck dick!

[chubphucka]

@nonofyall Rakim shouldnt say much....he doesnt have any HAA HAA HAA

[nonofyall]

@chubphucka You aint in the game for money bitch nigga. Besides this list is really fucking wrong.

[chubphucka]

@nonofyall bitch please.....money is the ONLY reason why rappers are in the business....you think these niggas rapping for their fuckin health.....you dont see ford focus in the videos but u see bently's......u dont see rappers still livin in prodjects they have mansions....one day u will realize that even respect can be bought.....so stop being fuckin ignorant and wake up 2 the real world.....bitch nigga

[nonofyall]

@chubphucka it is one thing if you make money, but it's a whole other thing if you just rap for money when you have much more than a normal human makes during his entire and still sells out cause you want more. When you disgard your personality to make money then you're a sell out. Like 50 cent did. Money isn't the thing that tells if a rapper is good or not.

[chubphucka]

@nonofyall dude heres the bottom line....its so damn easy for u or anybody to preach about selling out for millions of dollars when YOU are not a millionaire yourself....money is the root of all evil and once YOU got that kind of cash YOUR mindset will change just like the rest of them......all this ''respect'' among rappers is just for show for the cameras....the real respect is poor street hustlers on the mic during rap battles earning respect.....money will change you......PERIOD

[heyyesletsgo]

50 was a beast back then, hope his comes out wit an album soon.

[flowplayer]

50 cent is not the richest

[shaundewey]
