For the second straight year Jay-Z, 50 Cent, and Diddy top Forbes’ second annual “Hip-Hop Cash Kings” list, but there is a new reigning king for 2008.
50 Cent usurped Jay-Z as the top earner with $150 million grossed in the last year.
The cornerstone of 50’s portfolio is his stake in VitaminWater’s
parent company Glaceau, which was brought for $4.1 billion by Coca-Cola.
The Queens native’s investments also include video games, G-Unit
clothing/records, and a pending partnership in South Africa with
billionaire mining baron Patrice Motsepe.
Jay-Z bows in at number 2 generating $82 million in earnings. (more…)

Lil Wayne made it back to the top of the charts, #1 with about 153,000 records sold. G-Unit’s Terminate On Site (T.O.S) album comes in at #4 with about 96,000 records sold. This has to piss 50 Cent off!
