The three Musketeers of hip-hop — Birdman, Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne — show why they are on top of the rap game with their materialistic video for ‘Y.U. Mad.’
When it comes to making money in the hip-hop game, everybody is staring up at Jay-Z’s throne.
The 41-year-old rapper and mogul took in $37 million over the past year, making him the highest-earning hip-hop star. The $37 million includes record sales, a 10-year, $150 million deal with Live Nation and part ownership of the New Jersey Nets, among other investments.
Lil Wayne is hands down, one of the biggest music artists on the planet. So what happens when an artist like Lil Wayne makes a tour stop in his hometown of New Orleans? A party. A BIG party. Tonight, I had the chance to see Lil Wayne for a 4th time (???) - maybe a 5th time .... I've really lost count.
