Birdman

Money obviously means a lot to New Orleans-based rapper Birdman. With songs like "Money to Blow," "Money Machine" and "Been About Money," it's clear that the green paper currency is a main fixture in the rapper's life. However, all the hubbub about money does not overshadow the fact that Birdman is one of the more skilled producers and music entrepreneurs on the scene. As a founder of Cash Money Records, he has collaborated with notable artists like Lil Wayne, T-Pain, Young Jeezy and several others to create impressive rap songs that are hard not to like.
