Drake Replaces 50 Cent On Forbes Top 5 Rich List
Forbes has officially revealed that Drake is now included within its ‘Forbes Five: Hip Hop’s Wealthiest Artists’ list, dethroning 50 Cent for the first time.
The website has reported a net worth of $60m for the ‘Views’ rapper – generated from touring, music and a number of lucrative sponsorship deals with Apple, Nike, Sprite and more.
Drizzy is now number 5 on the list behind Jay Z, Birdman, Dr. Dre and Puff Daddy.
He once famously rapped “25 sitting on $25m" in ‘The Motto’ and also previously claimed that he wanted to make $250m by the time he was 29.
According to Forbes, 50 Cent was knocked off the list due to last year’s bankruptcy filing – with the rapper reportedly losing his $100 million Vitaminwater earnings.
Meanwhile, Puff Daddy is still at the top of the list with an estimated net worth of $750 million.
The music mogul has a number of lucrative investments including Ciroc, Sean John and his own media company Revolt.
Check out the list below:
5. Drake - $60m
4. Birdman - $110m
3. Jay Z - $610m
2. Dr Dre - $710m
1. Puff Daddy - $750m -

To me its like the best parts of Take Care and even Thank Me Later
Drake always has 2 demographics to appease so Take Care will give you Over my Dead Body, Shot for Me, Cameras, but then have to appeaese the turn up and come with filler
TML wil give u songs like Karaoke and the resistance then appease the tuen up with BS
This album to me cut a lot of filler -

Weston Road flows and Views are literally the only good tracks to me and both of those are too similar in execution

You the 2nd person to mention similar sounding songs
I like when albums have consistent themes and sounds. I remember listening to Blueprint and initially thinking Never Change, Song Cry, and a few others were similar. The songs always grow into their own.
Also what exactly does similar in execution mean. Lls Is that from Complex? Critiquing music has become so much more about the music itself. That Kanye ? -
This is the playlist im rockin with from now on:
1. 9
2. Weston Road Flows
3. Childs Play
4. Feel No Ways
5. With You
6. Faithful
7. Too Good
8. Hotline Bling
9. Summer's Over
10. Still Here
11. Pop Style
12. Hype
13. Views
14. Controlla (Bonus)
This eliminates the lukewarm tracks and makes it what it should be...a nice pop album -
Everyone on this site considers the following album as a hip hop classic........
There isn't much difference between what L Boogie did back then and what Drake is doing now. Matter of fact, Drake raps way more than Lauren did. -

Elaborate on your thought........
The example is being put out there because it seems that some of you have decided to criticize by calling Views a pop album. I'm now asking that you put a grown-up thought behind it. -

It means they're basically the same damn song. The 90s r&b intro/sample, the topic and flow... -

How many copies have Joe's last few albums sold?......Matter of fact I'm curious if his entire catalog combined has moved as many units as this Drake album eventually will. -

Too Short sold the same story on every album. Jeezy sells the same story on every album. Chuck D sells the same story on every album. This ? ain't nothing unique. Damn near every well known rapper sticks to the script.
You're allowing your dislike of Drake to make you cling to any criticism of him out there on the web. -
So we got more drake groupies on this ? now huh

Drake has to evolve, his honesty and vulnerability displayed through music has kinda left him repetitive with his subject matter. And the only reason most of us has put up with it is because usually he can balance his dope spitting with the singing. But not on Views. We have seen as fans through the last couple of years other rappers whose versatility has shown and succeeded. To ? a Butterfly is a totally different sound than Good Kid Maad City, J.Cole redeemed his self with Forest Hills Drive, and Cadillactica doesn't sound like 1 long ass song like Views does. Drizzy should take notes. So yes it will be commercially successful, but critically acclaimed it never will be.
