Net figures reflect performers' earnings after expenses have been deducted and managers, agents and lawyers have taken their cuts. All figures should be considered estimates.

Dre doesn't have to do anything.  He doesn't have anything left to prove.  He just hangs out all day, goes to the studio and produces a dozen or so bangers every year, and cashes in another 17 million.

The Stones still got it.

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

That guy Kenny Chesney is such an overlooked dude.  He's a country star (the highest ranking on the list for Country) who's put out hit after hit after hit after hit for the last ten years, but he's so slight and such a nice guy nobody ever really talks about him.  In about 10 more years, everybody's gonna wake up and go "whoa, this guy is HUGE" and he'll be an immediate legend.
