Comments by "Morgan King" (@MorganKing95) on "Top 10 Richest Rappers" video.

  1. +Sarfaraz Mumbai Because rappers like Dr. Dre, Jay-Z, and Sean Combs are very successful entrepreneurs and record producers in addition to their rapping careers.
    163
  2. +Gaming With Ryan He's the most successful rapper in terms of record sales. But like I said, the other rappers are more successful businessmen
    88
  3. +Rufat Gjorllaku 2pac, Biggie, Rakim, Big Pun, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, Ghostface Killah, Big Pun, the list goes on
    74
  4. This is about statistics. There's nothing opinion-based about net worth
    53
  5.  @atharvapuranik2696  There's no subjectivity in a list for net worth!!
    25
  6. The top 3 are highly rich mostly because of their hugely successful businesses, and even Eminem isn't as rich despite being the most high-selling rapper. Besides, 2pac's acting was subpar compared to his rapping abilities
    9
  7. +Mr Blacky Who the hell hasn't heard about Sean Combs/Puff Daddy/P. Diddy?
    3
  8.  @buildawall5803  Snoop always needs good production in order to sound good. He can't carry a rap by himself
    3
  9. +Sara Matic Seriously? You've never heard the song "I'll Be Missing You"?
    3
  10. This is about net worth, not talent
    3
  11. +Randy Dhimal Biggest sale doesn't equal best skills/quality. I mean, do you really believe that James Cameron is a better director than Bergman, Tarkovsky, Bertolucci, Huston, Fellini, Kurosawa, and Lang for example? If we were to talk about actual skills and quality, then Eminem is nothing compared to Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, Rakim, Black Thought, Big Pun, 2pac, The Notorious BIG, Ghostface Killah, and Chuck D
    2
  12. +Randy Dhimal Ad-hominem won't buy you any points here
    2
  13. +Slim Jung Only if you've never listened to any rappers between 1980 and 1998
    2
  14. +Slim Jung What a sheep
    2
  15.  NIG WARD  More successful perhaps, but his abilities are very mainstream and mainly based on rhyming and storytelling without much else
    2
  16. If you release 5 studio albums and rap on all of them, then you're a rapper
    2
  17. +PicciRam This is about richest, not best
    2
  18. His net worth was at 40 million
    2
  19. Jay-Z has a way more successful career as an entrepreneur and producer than Eminem; that's why he's much richer
    2
  20. +mario ching But not the most successful businessman!
    2
  21. +alexio ortiz 1. What does money and sale got to do with talents and skills? 2. Jay-Z is not as amazing as Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, Chuck D, Big Pun, Kool G Rap, 2pac, Biggie, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, GZA, and Big L. He can't even beat Nas in a feud
    1
  22. +Yazid benafla +Mosa Aghbaria If you only take Snoop's actual rapping into account, then he's pretty mediocre
    1
  23. +Kaminari Miller He's made 5 albums where he's been rapping. Whether he can be considered a good rapper however is another story
    1
  24. +1razinhell Groups: - Public Enemy - Gang Starr - A Tribe Called Quest - Wu-Tang Clan - The Roots - The Fugees Solo rappers: - Rakim - Big Daddy Kane - Kool G Rap - Slick Rick
    1
  25. +Nikhil Joshi Still not better than Ghostface Killah, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, and Rakim
    1
  26. This is based on net worth, not talent
    1
  27.  @poojaapnilamegan2867  Source?
    1
  28.  @poojaapnilamegan2867  Oh, I guess that was too hard for your pretentious brain! Stupid juvenile troll
    1
  29. Eminem's net worth is $210 million, so no
    1
  30.  @ketamine-consumer5185  NOW yes, but not back then
    1
  31. Oh come on! Who hasn't heard about Mr. Diddy?
    1
  32. But does have a large quantity of businesses and shares worth several millions? No, I didn't think so
    1
  33. +Pussy Man He has 3 individual studio albums and raps on practically every song, so he's a rapper
    1
  34. +Pussy Man Then he shouldn't have performed so much. If you've done a lot of rapping and made a career of it, you're a rapper whether you like it or not
    1
  35. +Pussy Man That doesn't even make any sense. If you want me to jump off a cliff (which I don't understand why I should do), then at least say it.
    1
  36. Joseph Fernando, someone who hasn't listened much to Hip-Hop
    1
  37. +Apachy GT Seriously?! You've never heard about Biggie's manager or heard "I'll Be Missing You"?
    1
  38. +Phunk Drapper Puff Daddy = Sean Combs
    1
  39. +Keef Manie 2pac was already well-established before he joined Death Row, and he thought working with Dr. Dre on "California Love" was a chore
    1
  40. +Kwastey Peters He has 3 studio albums where he's the prominent performer (he's not very good though)
    1
  41. If you make several studio albums and rap on them, you're a rapper
    1
  42.  @talelmed  Don't try to act funny with me, you uneducated fool! If you're rapping and have made several studio albums, you're a rapper. End of story!
    1
  43.  @talelmed  That's a subjective assessment and doesn't change the fact that his performance is objectively a rapping performance. Whether you think it's good or not is also subjective and doesn't change anything
    1
  44. +Illuminati aqi You've never heard about Puff Daddy/Mr. Diddy? What's the matter with you?
    1
  45. +Illuminati aqi 1. "Views" isn't always a factor since rap has existed since way before even internet was created. 2. He's really rich due to being the owner of Bad Boy Records (therefore being Biggie's manager), having his own clothing line "Sean John" with an annual gross of $525 million, owned two restaurants until 2007 and 2012 respectively, helped developing the vodka brand Cîroc and the television network Revolt TV, bought shares for the athletic beverage Aquahydrate, and designed the jerseys for Dallas Mavericks
    1
  46. Seriously? Who hasn't heard about mr. Diddy?
    1
  47. +Weeaboo Jones His fortune was at 40 million
    1
  48. +Weeaboo Jones Well, to be honest, 40 million doesn't sound that impressive when there are rappers with a fortune of more than 100 million (and some of them over 1 billion)
    1
  49. "Got Money" from Tha Carter III
    1
  50. +The Jewaboo kravitz The manager of Biggie Smalls and the artist who released "I'll be missing you", hello?
    1
  51. Oh come on! Who the hell hasn't heard about Mr. Diddy?
    1
  52. +dawox23 P. Diddy and Jay-Z have been entrepreneurs on a lot of things in addition to being rappers and record producers, and their labels have generally been more successful than Shady Records
    1
  53. You do know that Sean Combs, Dr. Dre, and Jay-Z are so rich mostly because of their business careers outside of their music, right? Promoting crime and rape? Oh, I get it right; you're just trolling and acting ignorant just to be funny. Good one!
    1
  54. P. Diddy is not worth just 450 million: https://www.forbes.com/sites/zackomalleygreenburg/2017/05/11/diddys-net-worth-820-million-in-2017/ Beyonce and Jay-Z have separate net worths: https://www.forbes.com/sites/zackomalleygreenburg/2018/07/11/beyonces-net-worth-355-million-in-2018/ https://amp.businessinsider.com/jay-z-net-worth-2018-9 Nicki IS more worth than Missy: https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/richest-rappers/nicki-minaj-net-worth/ https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/singers/missy-elliott-net-worth/
    1
  55. Ok, people in the comments section can't seriously be so ignorant, so I'll just clear things up: Sean Combs is the same person as Puff Daddy/P. Diddy
    1
  56. This is based on statistics, not opinion
    1
  57. +Game Night He's not as successful as a businessman. Sure he has the record sales, but Dr. Dre, Jay-Z, and Sean Combs have restaurants, hotels, clothing brands, headphones, and/or highly successful record labels
    1
  58. There are some other, but I still don't understand why. I mean, who the hell hasn't heard about mr. Diddy?
    1
  59. +Charlee P. A. Diddy has 5 studio albums where he is the most prominent performer. He may not be a great rapper, but he is a rapper nonetheless
    1
  60. +The Dangerous Sniper Not when his net worth was at 40 million
    1
  61.  @AT-cm5nu  Have you even listened to them? I highly doubt it
    1
  62.  @loganbyrom9689  Trolling doesn't give you any credibility
    1
  63.  @trentonmullins4948  I believe that when you've actually listened to them
    1
  64.  @themanwithnoname2183  Not everyone's got good enough taste
    1
  65.  @jonahdelainch2848  Him as well. I just hadn't analyzed his abilities closely enough when I wrote my original comment
    1
  66. +Pooja Chauhan You've never heard about Mr. Diddy? What's wrong with you? He was the manager of Biggie Smalls and released "I'll Be Missing You"
    1
  67. Both of you clearly haven't listened a lot to rap. No mention of Big Daddy Kane, Slick Rick, Chuck D, Kool G Rap, Nas, Big Pun, Big L, Black Thought, Ghostface Killah, or Pharoahe Monch?
    1
  68. Just because you sell something doesn't mean you get to keep everything for a life time; you've got taxes and the fact that other people within his company get their salary as well
    1
  69. Not according to Forbes: https://www.nme.com/news/music/wealthiest-hip-hop-act-2018-jay-z-dre-diddy-drake-eminem-forbes-2251497
    1
  70. If you make raps and perform them, you're a rapper, especially if you've got 3 studio albums
    1
  71. It doesn't matter. Either you're a rapper or you're not, and since he has been rapping a lot as part of his career, then he's a rapper. End of story!
    1
  72. In terms of being a successful businessman and entrepreneur, he's obviously got competition
    1
  73. +The Real Slim Meseeks He does have 3 studio albums and performs raps several times, but he’s not good at it
    1
  74. +Its Sam Seriously? Who hasn't heard about Mr. Diddy?
    1
  75. This is about net worth and statistics; there's no subjectivity
    1
  76. Somebody's clearly not listened to Nas, Wu-Tang Clan, Biggie, or even 2pac
    1
  77. If you make rap music, have made several solo albums, and perform it yourself, then you're a rapper
    1
  78. Are you serious? Of course this is based on net worth!
    1
  79. +Hyurix- The Gamer He was number one, shithead!
    1
  80. +Nikola Mlynaříková Come on, do people even watch these videos before commenting? Dr. Dre is way richer because in addition of his successful career and record producing, he's also made a fortune on investing in Apple and also creating his own successful brand of headphones and speakers. Sean Combs has been a record producer, restaurant owner, fashion designer, and even created his own brand of perfume
    1
  81. Number 3
    1
  82. معاذ صالح + You can't be subjective when talking about richest rappers
    1
  83. His net worth is about $20 million
    1
  84. +Its Apop But he's not much of a businessman or entrepreneur
    1
  85. This isn't just about record sales; this is about net worth in general, and Jay-Z is a way more successful businessman, producer, and entrepreneur than Eminem
    1
  86. You obviously haven't listened much to rap
    1
  87. +Kyle Norcliffe Because he's not close to being as successful when it comes to various businesses outside of rap
    1
  88. +Kyle Norcliffe In terms of album sales. However, let's look at his manager Dr. Dre for example: - Very successful albums from when he was still a member of NWA, his album "The Chronic" and other albums he has produced for Death Row Records, and his own albums under Aftermath in addition to producing the majority of Eminem's albums. - He has his own line of highly successful (and often overhyped) headphones and speakers called Beats by Dre. - Bought and sold stocks from Apple Inc. And let's also look at Sean Combs: - Producer for The Notorious BIG in addition to his own successful albums. - Owns two restaurants and has his own clothing line, helped designing uniforms for a basketball team, and has his own vodka brand. He even developed a calorie-free beverage for athletes, and is the owner of Revolt TV Jay-Z: - Always produced highly successful albums and never seems to get old, and he's also a record producer - Owns a sports bar, skin and hair products, beverages, and various clothing lines, and has stocks in TV programs, hotels, and restaurants. Bottom line; Eminem has the music, but those three have music plus a bunch of side projects
    1
  89. Some rappers do that, but the top 3 here actually have legal businesses
    1
  90. +Voytec The Don He has 5 studio albums where he's the prominent performer
    1
  91. +jeffrey Patron Yes, he is. He's just not a great one
    1
  92. This is about net worth
    1
  93. He's a highly successful businessman and entrepreneur on top of his record sales
    1
  94. If you release 5 albums under your own name and you rap on all of them, then you're a rapper
    1
  95. Do you think everything goes to one person after a sale? Dr. Dre has many business partners, and tax is also a factor
    1
  96. 1. Views on YouTube is completely irrelevant. Heck, do you think music didn't exist before YouTube? You're like someone who spots a bank and thinks that they've turned an app into a bank 2. He's a highly successful entrepreneur and record producer in addition to his album sales, that's why
    1
  97. +soutrik pal Over $200 million is being poor?
    1
  98. +soutrik pal Then you need a reality check
    1
  99. +Manya Bendkule 2pac's net worth was at 40 million
    1
  100. Oh come on! Who hasn't heard about Mr. Diddy?
    1
  101. Who the hell hasn't heard about mr. Diddy?
    1
  102. +AndroidGaming FX His net worth was at 40 million
    1
  103. You're kidding, right?
    1
  104. 1. This is based on net worth, not talent or fan favoritism. 2. Eminem isn't as big of a businessman as Diddy, Dre, and Jay-Z
    1
  105. +Antonio Jesus Neal #3
    1
  106. +Kevin Serrano Combs*, and you're very ignorant then
    1
  107. Because he's a genius when it comes to being a businessman and entrepreneur. And did you seriously diss Biggie Smalls?
    1
  108. Taxes and the fact that a lot people who produce his music, do the marketing, and give their time to let him record his music need their salary too
    1
  109. It basically means "You were a worthy candidate, but you're not top 10 material, so we will have to recognize you here instead"
    1
  110.  @badshahtopic7825  It hasn't changed: https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/richest-rappers/tupac-net-worth/
    1
  111.  @poojaapnilamegan2867  I need a source to believe that. I don't instantly believe something a random person on YouTube claim
    1
  112. +Dodo Podo 2pac's fortune was at 40 million
    1
  113. +oknyla Because his money mostly comes from his music, while his manager Dr. Dre in addition of making a fortune on Death Row Records, Aftermath, and his record sales, also put big investments in Apple and produced his own successful brand of headphones and speakers. Sean Combs has made a fortune on Bad Boy Records and has also been a fashion designer, restaurant owner, and perfume creator.
    1
  114. I'm white and listen to 2pac, Nas, Biggie, Wu-Tang Clan, Public Enemy, and Rakim more than I listen to Eminem
    1
  115.  @thedaydreamer7054  Innocent until proven guilty, troll!
    1
  116.  @Adeel808s  Yeah, of course he wasn't after money. He definitely didn't work as a dishwasher just so that he could find a Christmas present for his daughter, never felt like a bum, never sold an album, and never expressed delight over his success with "The Slim Shady LP". And if he could so easily make a billion, why have Shady Records and his clothing line had so little success compared to a bunch of other labels and clothing brands?
    1
  117. Bad!
    1
  118. +Firaryf Zawal You can't be a real Hip-Hop fans if you've never heard about Puff Daddy/Mr. Diddy
    1
  119. +mona alabas His fortune wasn’t as high as these rappers
    1
  120. He's not richer than Sean Combs, Jay-Z, or Dr. Dre
    1
  121. Do you realize how many businesses Jay-Z's owns on top of his record sales?
    1
  122. If you make 5 studio albums where you're rapping on all of them, then you're a rapper
    1
  123. +Jayden Nash Puff Daddy/Mr. Diddy (you know, Biggie's manager?)
    1
  124. This is about net worth; there's no subjectivity
    1
  125. +pudding squashReacts His fortune at the time of his death was at 40 million
    1
  126. Do you think everything goes to him after a sale? He had a lot business partners that also want their shares of the big pot, and there are taxes as well
    1
  127. +Ionuț Daraban His fortune was at 40 million
    1
  128. Because Jay-Z's got restaurants, sports teams, bars, record labels, clothing lines, and beverage labels on top of his record sales
    1
  129. You're telling me! He may be my favorite rapper (mostly for sentimental reasons), but if I'm only judging based on technical skills, then Eminem sounds amateurish compared to rappers like Big Pun, Nas, Black Thought, Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane, 2pac, Biggie, Rakim, Chuck D, Pharoahe Monch, Big L, Ghostface Killah, and many others
    1
  130. This video is from 2017; things change!
    1
  131.  @silverness320  I did. In 2017 it was like this: - Jay-Z: $810 million - Sean Combs: $825 million
    1
  132. Oh, and I suppose you have listened to EVERY SINGLE song by EVERY SINGLE rapper in the world, and within EVERY SINGLE subgenre then? Impressive. Even I haven't done that yet
    1
