Forbes just dropped their annual Hip Hop’s Cash Kings list and Hov knocks Curtis (2008’s biggest money maker) off to take the No.1 spot. Comparing this with last year’s list is crazy seeing what the Recession has done. Jay went from 82M in 2008 to 35M this year while Curtis dropped from 150M to 20M (dropping him to the fourth spot). Hit the jump for the top 20…
1. Jay-Z – 35 Million
2. Diddy – 30 Million
3. Kanye West – 25 Million
4. 50 Cent – 20 Million (Tie)
4. Akon – 20 Million (Tie)
6. Lil Wayne – 18 Million
7. Timbaland – 17 Million
8. Pharrell – 16 Million

10. Eminem – 14 Million
11. Dr.Dre – 13 Million
12. Snoop Dogg – 11 Million
13. Ludacris – 10 Million
14. Common – 8 Million (Tie)
14. Will.I.Am – 8 Million (Tie)
14. T.I. – 8 Million (Tie)
14. Swizz Beatz – 8 Million (Tie)

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve gotta plot on how I’m gonna land on the list in 2011. Spotted at eskay’s crib.
