Not even jail could stop Lil Wayne from cracking the top five on our list. Hit the jump to see where Lil Wayne came on the Forbes hip hop top earners list: 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. 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!
