I am toopac

Tupac was back again last night.

Dr Dre has topped Forbes's annual Hip-Hop Cash Kings list.

The rapper was revealed as the highest-earning hip-hop star in the past year, despite not having released an album in over ten years.

The majority of Dre's $110 million (£69m) income is from his Beats by Dr Dre headphones line, which HTC bought a 51% stake ($300 million) in last year.

Diddy lands at number two with earnings of $45m (£28m), thanks mostly to his stake in Diageo's Ciroc vodka.

Jay-Z, who topped the 2011 list, pulled in over half of his $38m (£24m) from business ventures, including ownership stakes in cosmetics company Carol's Daughter, the Brooklyn Nets and a joint project with battery maker Duracell.

"The reality of it is, you want to do something that you own," said Timbaland, who ranks at number 20 on the list with $6m (£4m). "You want to own what you put your heart into. That's how you make money."

Snoop Dogg is at 14 with earnings of $8.5m (£5.3m), followed by 50 Cent at 15 with $7.5m (£4.7m).

Hip-hop's top 10 earners in full:

1. Dr Dre - $110 million
2. Diddy - $45 million
3. Jay-Z - $38 million
4. Kanye West - $35 million
5. Lil Wayne - $27 million
6. Drake - $20.5 million
7. Birdman - $20 million
8. Nicki Minaj - $15.5 million
9. Eminem - $15 million
10. Ludacris - $12 million

Thought Eminem would have been worth more

Well he didnt do much in 2011 so it seems good to me.... although Dre hasnt done anything in forever but its all about the beats

Pretty sure Diddy topped last year, not Jay.

Take it up with DS :tongue:
