An artist should be so lucky to sustain the kind of longevity that would allow for multi-volume phases the likes of Wayne’s Dedication, and Da Drought mixtapes, let alone the series that made him into a superstar, Tha Carter. Already making plans for a new album, Tha Carter IV, upon his release. Maybe more than any other rapper in history, Lil Wayne’s output is defined by franchises. Sentenced in March to a year in the pen for weapons possession, the rapper managed to earn his hefty total from new album Rebirth, proceeds from guest appearances and a healthy dose of touring, where he grossed over $500,000 per show. After all, aside from the cover tease on Young Money’s Twitter account, there wasn’t. Not even jail could stop Lil Wayne from cracking the top five on our list. Saying Lil Wayne’s long-awaited Tha Carter V was delayed may be a bit of an overstatement. Hit the jump to see where Lil Wayne came on the Forbes hip hop top earners list: The record is the first single from Weezy‘s upcoming I’m Not A Human Being EP which is dropping on his birthday, September 27th, and if you didn’t buy your official copy from iTunes, then you can do so here! Yesterday, we reported Lil Wayne‘s “ Right Above It” single featuring Drake was officially put on iTunes, and now today it has made #1 on both the Rap/Hip Hop charts and the Overall charts.
