Hip Hop: Who Has The Most Klout?

The Klout Score measures influence based on your ability to drive action. Every time you create content or engage you influence others. The Klout Score uses data from social networks in order to measure:

• True Reach: How many people you influence
• Amplification: How much you influence them
• Network Impact: The influence of your network

The Klout score is more relevant than people think. It measure much more than popularity or fame. It measures INFLUENCE on a scale of 1-100. This is my list of hip hop artists and moguls and their respective Klout scores. You may be surprised!

Are you surprised to see your favorite rapper lower than other rappers you can't stand? Wonder why Jay-Z, Eminem, Nas, Kanye West, Ludacris and other super stars didn't crack the top 10? Well, it's all about social networking and posting content that is relevant to a wide consumer base. Justin Bieber's Klout score is 100 because whatever he posts online, other influential people re-post, re-tweet, re-blog, like, love and share to their respective networks. I was surprised to learn that my Klout score was higher than Gucci Mane because he is so famous but when I looked at his Twitter, his tweets weren't interesting and he rarely tweets. Jay Z may be THE most influential rapper on this list but his Klout is low compared to his impact on the culture because he doesn't utilize social media that much at all. Artists like Mac Miller, Tyler The Creator, Tyga, Yelawolf, Big Sean, Astro, Lil B, and Machine Gun Kelly have successfully cultivated a loyal fan base that helps spread their content like wildfire across the web.

Rapper Nicki Minaj is denying reports that she was involved in a physical altercation with a male friend at the Palomar Hotel in Dallas. Details have been offered as to what allegedly happened.

Minaj and her hypeman Safaree “SB” Samuels reportedly got into an argument and Minaj was hit in the mouth with a suitcase.

“Responding officers spoke with the Complainant [Nicki Minaj], who stated a verbal altercation took place…at the pool,” the report read. “When [Minaj] returned to her hotel room, Witness 1 [Safaree Samuels] was also back at the room…[Minaj] told [Samuels] that she didn’t want him taking anyting out of the room. [Samuels] had some of his personal belongings in a suitcase, and as [Minaj] was looking into the suitcase, [Samuels] grabbed the suitcase and as he was picking it up, he shoved the suitcase across [Minaj's] chin.”


“Responding officers observed slight swelling and redness to [Minaj's] chin and lower lip. [Minaj's] teeth struck the inside of her lower lip, causing the inside….to bleed….[Minaj] told responding officers that she did not want to make a report and that she just wanted her suitcase back….[Minaj] stated multiple times that she and [Samuels] were only friends and had never been involved in an intimate relationship and were not related at all. The hotel rooms…were re-keyed…and [Minaj] was provided with a key. [Minaj] refused to have any pictures taken and refused to make a police report.”

But Minaj and Safaree both claim the story has been exaggerated. "The fact that u believe a man either slapped or punched me in the face & didn't leave on a stretcher w/his balls hangin off? #getaF%cknLifedenied," Minaj tweeted shortly after the story broke. "The media could pee on ur leg & tell u its raining. You'd believe it. You'd believe u were an adopted martian if TMZ told u so. #stopit5"

The general public are some stupid muthaf*ckas!!!! Y'all d*cks believe anything on a website," Safaree tweeted. "It's really a shame... Wut up tho Dallas?!!

He then added, "4the record I would never lay a hand on ANY woman, I have all sisters and No brothers And that's the last I'll say about that!!! God bless."

Lil Wayne made a surprising revelation in a recent interview with Hot 97s Angie Martinez. The rap superstar revealed that he hasn't heard the platinum-selling debut albums of his two biggest proteges, Drake and Nicki Minaj. He says he's just too busy to listen to the work of his Young Money cohorts.
"I never heard Drake's album. I never heard Nicki's album," he said. "I swear to God. I work too hard. They would probably guess it. I'm always focused on something and it captures my whole attention, I can't do nothing else. Drake and Nick, don't take that no kinda way."
