Dr. Dre obliterated the competition on the annual Forbes "Cash Kings" list. And, have Joell Ortiz and others initiated a mature Rap renaissance?

Dr. Dre’s Dominates the Forbes “Cash Kings” ListAndre: If you’ve been paying attention to the Forbes Cash King list, then you know it was a blowout this year. Off of the Beats By Dre acquisition by Apple, Dr. Dre came home with an astonishing gross amount of $620 million “Not only is that the highest annual total of any entertainer ever evaluated by FORBES, it’s more than the combined earnings of all 24 of his companions on the 2014 Hip-Hop Cash Kings list,” said Forbes. Not bad for a man in the headphones business. Think about that sentence, though, “it’s more than the combined earnings of all 24 of his companions on the 2014 Hip-Hop Cash Kings list.” Combined. That’s mega millionaires and some of the hardest working people in the game like Jay Z, Puffy and the man who’s tripled his worth in the past few years Drake not keeping uwww.wamilazo.blogspot.comp. Why? Everything in any business is selling. Period. There’s the art form and the culture, but none of that makes money in a vacuum so it’s no surprise that a windfall of that size can only come via a direct sale of a company, organization or infrastructure.

French Montana speaks on having more freedom with "Mac & Cheese," says he recently spoke to Max B.

During an interview with Complex, Bronx, New York rapper French Montana clarified comments he made several weeks ago about lyrical rappers being broke. According to French, his comments were “flipped” and made to sound completely different.
The rapper went on to explain what he really meant when he stated that “All lyrical rappers I know are broke,” during an interview with Power 105’s Angie Martinez in July. While explaining his remarks he also criticized today’s rappers for their lack of character.
“They took it and flipped it a whole different way,” French Montana said. “What I really meant to say was ‘If you don’t have a business mind then you just rapping’…Rap is only 20 percent of what you doing. Cause you can go and read a book and write exactly what’s in that book in your song. And people gonna think you’re a genius. You’re not a genius. It was in a book…What I love about rappers and rappers I fell in love with my whole life is that I seen them go through the same struggles. I seen it from Tupac. That’s why a lot of these rappers don’t have character.
