JAY-Z’S THE RICHEST MUHF*CKA ON THE SCENE! » News has been pretty damn slow this week … which is why there haven’t been many rundown posts. Go figure. Anyhow, I scrounged up some for today’ s rundown. Enjoy! First up is Jay-Z, who was dubbed the king of hip-hop cash! Homeboy grabbed the #1 spot in the 2006 Forbes List for Hip-Hop Cash Kings at a net worth amounting up to $34 million. Other kings who made the list include: (2) 50 Cent – $32 million, (3) Diddy – $28 million, (4) Timbaland – $24 million, (5) Dr. Dre – $20 million, (6) Eminem – $18 million, (7) Snoop Dogg – $17 million, (8) Kanye West – $17 million, (9) Pharrell Williams – $17 million, (10) Scott Storch – $17 million, (11) Ludacris – $16 million, (12) T.I. – $16 million, (13) Outkast - $14 million, (14) Lil Jon – $14 million, (15) Ice Cube – $13 million, (16) Jermaine Dupri – $12 million, (17) Swizz Beatz – $12 million, (18) Chamillionaire – $11 million, (19) The Game – $11 million, (20) Yung Joc $10 million. The numbers don’t lie! Hip hop diva Cam’Ron didn’t make the cut, because unfortunately … the list here stops at 20. Had it gone on to 1,400, he’d be number 1,399 at a net worth of $2.63. Who’s number 1,400 you ask? Well, that’s for me to know and you to find out! CONTINUE READING

Now you know you’re important when on the the 30th anniversary of your death, hundreds, if not, thousands of people travel all the way to Memphis to honor you in memorials, candle light vigils, and whatever else they can think of. I’m talking about Elvis here, people! And you know the impersonators had to show up and show out too, hah! And apparently, Elvis is the WHITE PEOPLE’S 2-PAC! Just as most black folk claim that Tupac Shakur is still alive and well … just in hiding, a lot of crazy white folk say the same about Elvis! Anyhow, wouldn’t we all like to be loved and remembered like that when we go?
Well, it appears the folks in Chris Brown’s camp have decided to go with Kiss Kiss as his second single to give “Exclusive” a little push. If you didn’t know already, the album HAS been pushed back to October, and will no longer be releasing on August 28 as scheduled. Wall to Wall just didn’t take off right … I liked the song, but hey! To each his own, right? Anyhow, “Kiss Kiss” is good (better than Wall to Wall) but isn’t it overkill that T-Pain is on the track? I mean, damn! He’s already all over the radio as it is…
