JAY-Z TOPS FORBES’ HIP-HOP CASH KINGS LIST

Jay-Z is having the best week ever. With Watch the Throne set to debut at No. 1 on the charts, the rap titan also reigns atop Forbes’ annual Cash Kings list.


The magazine has declared the Roc Nation mogul as hip-hop’s top earner with $37 million made in the past 12 months. He tops the list for the fourth time in five years thanks to tour sales, his ongoing $150 million Live Nation deal, and stakes in the New Jersey Nets and 40/40 club.

Following in close second is hip-hop impresario Sean “Diddy” Combs, who banked $35 million in the past year with roughly half of his earnings coming from Ciroc vodka.

Jay’s partner in rhyme Kanye West claims third place, returning to the top three for the first time since 2009. Lil Wayne ties with his YMCMB comrade Birdman for fourth ($15 million), Eminem, Dr. Dre, and Snoop Dogg rack up $14 million each, and Wiz Khalifa, Pitbull, and B.o.B are among the new entries.

Nicki Minaj becomes the first female to make the list at No. 15 with $6.5 million. The Young Money diva burst onto the scene with her platinum debut Pink Friday, tours with Lil Wayne and Britney Spears, and endorsement deals with M•A•C Cosmetics and Casio.

The Game f Justin Timberlake & Pharrell -Ain't No Doubt About It

The video for Game’s “Ain’t No Doubt About It” washed ashore over the 4th of July weekend. The Pharrell-produced cut was originally intended to be a single off the Compton rapper’s R.E.D. Album, due August 23. The song and video were later scrapped, but director Diane Martel has released it from the vault a year-and-a-half later.

In the black-and-white clip, a dapper Game parties on a yacht with fellow bachelors Justin Timberlake and Pharrell, enjoying the company of a bevy of scantily-clad women. The slick visuals are reminiscent of Hype Williams’ lavish productions from the early 2000s when budgets were larger
