Revolt TV published “Unlocking The Holy Grail: Timbaland” the day before the release of Jay-Z’s album "Magna Carter Holy Grail" (Which Timbo claims is Jay-Z’s best album). In this interview, Timbaland was asked about Jay-Z’s status in the industry. Timbaland let the public know Jay-Z is at the top, soon him and Jay-Z will be able to say, “we can control our records…we don’t have to talk to none of these people, we are the people…now the money is much better because we own it.” 

But Jay-Z’s status isn’t just coming from the music industry.

So who are the power players in the music biz? Timbaland, Pharrell, Kayne, Diddy, and Jay-Z. But lets focus on the kings…Sean Combs and Sean Carter, Why?, Because they have empires.

Both topped the The Forbes Five: Hip-Hop’s Wealthiest Artist every year since 2007, but now there is a question of who will reach billionaire status first. These two have built an empire within the entertainment industry as a whole. Just this year, Jay-Z went from owning a portion of the Brookland Nets to establishing Roca Nation Sports, while Diddy is building his TV network, REVOLT TV but still gaining most of his profit from Ciroc. 

Their next move better be their best move! 

Which one of these bosses do you think will be a billionaire first?

This & That

Ok lovelies, so I watched Love&Hip Hop Atlanta and this show entertains me to the fullest. Here is my run down on the cast.

Stevie J- Ummmm maybe he should focus more on producing music and less f***ing.

Mimi- I'm glad she finally got a clue. #NuffSaid

Karlie- Ummmm....is she a dancer???

K.Michelle- I like her! She seems real and straight to the point. I was rolling when she called Joseline a tropical bird.

Joseline- Ummm...I do like her accent tho' lol

Erica- She should be glad Scrappy ended it. Never make someone a priority when they only consider you an option.

Scrappy- Just wants his cake and damn sure wanna eat it too!

Mama Dee- She scares me!!! Lol

•Christina Milian and her ex The Dream were twitter beefing this past weekend. Milian alleges that Dream doesn't spend time with their daughter, Violet.

•Amber Rose is supposedly pregnant by fiancé Wiz Khalifa. Do we care??? Exactly! Lol

•Basketball Wives LA is coming back minus Imani but two new cast mates. This should be interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing Jackie and her multiple personalities.

•Kanye West and Kim K are rumored to be getting a reality show. Although this has yet to be confirmed by E!, but it is being rumored to be. I'm not sure if I'm interested in watching these two.

•Bathing Suit company River Island has teamed up with Rihanna to release a line of bathing suits and tweeted a picture of the first of several suits to come.
