NewsJay-Z named richest rapperJay-Z has been named the world's richest rapper. The rap star, whose real name is Shawn Carter, topped Forbes.com's Hip-Hop Cash Kings list, earning an estimated $34 million last year. Jay-Z sold 2 million copies of his 11th studio album 'Kingdom Come', in 2006, and served as president and CEO of Def Jam Recordings. In addition to his music-related endeavours, Jay-Z is part owner of the New Jersey Nets basketball team, and endorses Budweiser, General Motors and Hewlett-Packard. 50 Cent, aka Curtis Jackson, came in a close second, netting an estimated $32 million last year. The rapper has sold more than 11 million albums as well as overseeing the G-Unit record and clothing labels. Also making top five on the list (based on last year's earnings alone) were Diddy, Timbaland and Dr. Dre, respectively. Kate Nash plays tiny gig on eve of album triumph Kate Nash played an intimate set in aid of the Save Camden Stables Market campaign at the Boogaloo bar in north London tonight (August 9). Following a short speech from the organisers about how the old market is been transformed into a shopping mall, the singer, who volunteered to play the show herself after hearing about the campaign, took the stage with her band. "Thanks for coming, I think it's really important we're here for a worthy cause," declared Nash as she opened with 'Mariella'. She then played a set showcasing tracks from her Number One-bound debut album 'Made Of Bricks' which was released on Monday (August 6). Taking the evening's campaigning spirit to heart, the singer paused the gig midway through and offered to hand out press releases to the media in the crowd, before called on all of the audience to back the Camden campaign, declaring: "We don't want every street in London to look the same because that would be fucking boring!" Moving throughout the 45 minute set between her piano and guitar, Nash admitted she was struggling the pub's tiny stage, endearingly telling the crowd as she squeezed herself in front of the drums that "I feel like the cymbal is going to cut my bum in half!" Later after playing 'We Get On', Nash then gave everyone an insight into her growing popularity, explaining, "I read a comment on the internet from a bloke moaning that 'We Get On' is becoming like a karaoke track, but I was so excited by the idea it might be on a karaoke machine one day!" She followed this a spot of her own karaoke, playing a cover of Cold War Kids which Nash admitted wasn't perhaps as well rehearsed as she would have liked. "We're doing a cover now, I don't know all the words so I might make them up," she told the pub as she launched into 'Hang Me Up To Dry'. There was no mistaking the words for 'Foundations' though, with Nash playing an extended version of the Number Two single, including a verse about her awful boyfriend "getting sick on my trainers". After accidentally unplugging her own microphone, Nash then wound-up the show plugging the campaign's website Savecamdenstablesmarket.co.uk before playing a solo version of 'Little Red'. |
