It's always inspiring to see Hiphop entrepreneurs build and expand their empires within the industry.

There's so much paper out there, album sales, singles sales, ringtone sales, publishing, endorsements, touring, shows, guest-appearances, signing artists etc.

Who do you see rising up the ranks for 2012 and who do you see dropping in the ranks?

You know this list is dead wrong just by looking at how Wayne and Baby made the same amount.
Workers don't make same amount of money as the bosses.

I know Jay Z and Diddy will always be top 2 unless 50's SMS just blows up or he sells it.

A worker can sometimes make more than a Boss.

Wayne isnt on a 360 deal so he gets his touring money, his "I am Still Music" tour grossed 47 million dollars so after taxes and expenses Im sure he got a nice size of change in his man-purse.
