Hip Hop’s Top 20 Money Makers

Common

I know one the main criticism about hip hop is that it is materialistic and too concern with money. Hip hop motivates is about showing a different side of hip hop. So why I’m I doing post about the Forbes top 20 hip hop money makers for 2008? Simple, Common. He made the list at number 12, making$12 million tying Eminem. Common has always been example of positive hip hop and this is inspiring to see that positivity can make money. It may seem harder to take the higher road. Yet it is not any harder than getting notice with excessive violence and sexual lyrics when every one is going that route. Its like standing in a crowd screaming for a free T-shirt. I’d rather be true to myself, make $12 million, and buy the T-shirt….Company.
