Jay Z is nothing but D.O.A. when it comes to leading the list of top money makers in Hip Hop & Rap.

Forbes released their annual list and Jay topped it by bringing in $35 million in the past year. 50 Cent pulled in $20 million while Kanye pulling in $25 million and Lil Wayne pulling in $18 million. That’s a  lot of lollipops to say the least.

Here is the list:

1 – Jay-Z – $35 million
2 – Diddy – $30 million
3 – Kanye West – $25 million
4 – 50 Cent – $20 million
