The popularity of Forbes magazine has extended to mainstream and Hip-Hop culture. 50 Cent has released the official remix to his hit single, “I Get Money” off his September 11, 2008 album, Curtis, entitled Forbes 1,2,3 (also known as the “Billion Dollar Remix”). The title of the song comes from the fact that Jay-Z, 50 Cent, and Diddy were listed as Forbes’ Top 3 money-making Kings of Hip-Hop, respectively. The unfinished video for Forbes 1,2,3 can be seen as the intro to 50 Cent’s single, “I Still Kill” featuring Akon, off his multi-platinum album Curtis. As well, in the song “Billionaire” by Travie McCoy feat. Bruno Mars, it mentions being on ‘the cover of Forbes magazine, smilin’ next to Oprah and the Queen’. (Wikipedia.org)
