Yeah but missy and QL are much more rooted in Hiphop than bey and Rihanna so I would consider them hip hop figures
Hmmm I guess itās up to nicki, cardi or maybe Rapsody because Meg is way too new to potentially be a mogul anytime soon
Are There Any Female Hip Hop Moguls?

Lil Kim and MC lyte could try to get things shaking too
Rapsody has deep ties to ppl in the industry namely 9th wonder which would help when trying to get a record label off the ground
lol @ in a thread about Hiphop moguls worrying about ppl outside hiphop

They would be indistinguishable if not for their proximity to Hip Hop. And do not leave Mariah out of that conversation.
No I get that but classifying those two as hip hop moguls would be doing them a disservice so they canāt be considered that despite them being apart of the culture

Wow Iām actually ashamed that I forgot about her
Which part of "Hip Hop mogul" is a disservice?
itās a disservice to two figures that have transcended only being a mogul in Hiphop a long time ago

No.
Now that I think about it, Sylvia Robinson is the mogul of all moguls. She saw what was going on in the parks and on the streets and had the sense to make a record in a recording studio.
Accordingly, everybody says that she ripped them off. She died a while back. It's unfortunate the way things played out because everybody was trying to sue her so she wouldn't do interviews. As a result we never got to hear her side of the story, which is a shame.
But yeah, Rihanna, Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, etc. may or may not be considered moguls, but they don't rap.
Missy and Queen Latifah rap.
Would you guys consider Michael Jackson a mogul or just a really, really, really big pop star?
I consider Prince a mogul because he produced a handful of acts (The Time, Vanity 6, Appallonia 6, Sheila E). And he figured out how to circumvent the music industry; Basically he'd have a concert and you get a copy of the cd with the price of admission. He completely removed the record label from the equation. But he had to work his way up from the bottom. He spent his first 10+ years on a record label before he figured it out.
Prince also directed a handful of movies. I wonder how much he was worth when he died.

Who would you call a male Hip Hop mogul?

1. So you think neither of them have "transcended" Hip Hop?
2. It seems as if you think Hip Hop is some lowly thing that needs to be transcended in order to be considered valid.
