Regardless of whether you're a hip-hop fan, you've got to give it to those blinged-out moguls: they're damn good businessmen. Forbes recently came out with their second annual list of 20 Cash Kings of Hip-Hop. This year, Fiddy aka Curtis Jackson received top honors by raking in over $150 million, primarily due to his nine-figure haul from the VitaminWater deal. Coming in #2 is Mr. Knowles himself, Jay-Z. While we thought his 10-year, $150 million deal withe Live Nation was pretty neat, we were more impressed by his decision to seal the deal with the lovely Beyonce. Someone who didn't make the list is Jay-Z's former partner at Roc-A-Fella Records, Damon Dash, who's home is reportedly in foreclosure. Poor Damon.
