Forbes releases its to 20 list for Hip Hop's biggest money earners for 2008.

In the 2008 edition of this list we see the familiar faces, but there are also a few surprises that we see on this list.

Coming in at number 12 Eminem, he hasn't released a record in years, yet he still took in 12 million (guess him signing 50 cent was not a bad look at all). Also coming in at number 12 Common, never new being a conscious rapper was so lucrative Common raked in 12 million for the year. Chamillionaire certainly raised his stock last year by dropping negative lyrics from his recordings that smart move landed him the number 14 spot on the list he brought in 10 million.

Not on the list: Tupac pulled in 15 million which is amazing considering he has been dead for over 12 years.

Jay-Z created a huge buzz on the net by dropping Jockin' Jay-Z (Dope Boy Fresh) which was produced by Kanye West and is the warm up single for Blueprint 3.

This album is sure to be historical as it is his last studio album with long time parent label Def Jam, in the future he will be recording for Live Nation per his recently signed 150 million dollar contract.

Kanye West and his long time mentor No I.D have been working hard making tracks for Blueprint 3, which does not have an official release date as of yet. As allways we will keep ya posted.

The source for twenty years has been exactly that, it has been the source for Hip Hop news and has always been respected for it's 5 mic rating system. Oddly enough the source was created by two white men David Mays and Jon Shecter who were both heavily influenced by Hip Hop culture.

The source remained a power house in the Hip Hop genre until the 2000's when Co Owner Benzino started a feud with Eminem which eventually led the magazine into bankruptcy.

The Source has recently been resurrected out of bankruptcy by the publishers of Black Enterprise.  Lets see if the Source can rise back to prominence, they are releasing four limited edition 20th Anniversary Issues the first two that have been released feature Nas and LL Cool J.
