jay+bey@2009betawards

Man, I wasn’t gonna post this list. Then I remembered that I posted last year’s list. Then I looked at the list and got sad. I remembered I’m broke. But besides that I’m good. Back to the list: Comparing 2008’s to 2009’s. Akon moved up 8 spots. T-Pain, Flo Rida, will.i.am, & Young Jeezy debut on the list. Jermaine Durpi, Lil’ Jon, & Chamillionaire drop from the list. Eminem made more money than Dr. Dre. And oh yea, Jay-Z is back on top followed by Puffy and Kanye. Personally, I would be happy coming in at #273.

1. Jay-Z – 35 Million
2. Diddy – 30 Million
3. Kanye West – 25 Million
4. 50 Cent – 20 Million

    Damn Flo-Rida is EATIN!

    Both of his albums didn’t even reach gold, that 6 million impresses me.

    For some dumb reason, I’m actually happy to Rick Ross make this list. Why? I don’t know

  4. mufucka says:

    HOW DID JAY MAKE 35 MILLION?

  6. Chew says:

    With Rick Rawse the Bawse frontin’ so much I expected him to have more than 6 milli. But also I’d probably be like #123124 on that list, actually I’d be non – existant.
