He's got Budweiser, HP, and GM behind him. He's got Beyonce, the glamaZon top selling female pop performer. And he's got more money than Diddy at $28 Million and a close but no sausage (i made that one up) 50 Cent at $32 Million according to the popular Forbes Magazine list. Jay Z's 34 million for 2006 alone is more than many will even dream about in 10 lifetimes (i'm being ambitious when i say 10 here!). On the most recent Forbes 100 list, the top selling artist makes it in the top 10 with his debut at # 9 following the leads of Oprah, Tom Cruise, Madonna and Brad Pitt! I guess million plus selling albums, heading a record company and high paying endorsements have done very well for the long time artist/rapper.
I always give J respect for his business sense in running his label, growing as a lyricist and cutting down on the playa image, and keeping his nose clean and out of trouble for the most part. This man has SWAGGA. He's so cool yet so on fire. His coolness makes him hot. And if he NEVER does another song again...he'll remain respected and an Icon in the industry. He's not my favorite rapper (vote yours on the blog poll) but he's got my highest respect (right up there with Andre 3000, Common, Mos Def, Nas and Wyclef). I wonder if maybe we cuzins cuz i could use a lil extra green.
1. Is Jay-Z the best rapper now?
Feed me feedback...
Jay Z is hot that suit! He deserves to be number one for Hip Hop royalty.
