Is The Hiphop Culture and Rap Music Still a Vehicle To Get Rich?

Whassup Peeps?

I was visiting one of my favorite websites, www.CelebrityNetWorth.com, and they've recently compiled a list of "The Richest Rappers In The World 2013". I don't know about you but this is inspiring for people who are serious about being in the music business and business in general.

In the grand scheme of things, the people listed are not the only ones getting paid. When an individual starts getting paid in these large amounts, rest assured there are plenty of other people making money off of them or with them too. So not only are they generating wealth for themselves, they are generating wealth for other people as well. 

Here is the list:
