Didn't he make more money from his stake in Vitamin Water being acquired by Pepsi or CocaCola than from rap?

not really, he has a lot of businesses, this was one of them which turned out to be very successful. He was a very famous rapper back in the days, and he invented mixtapes :)

before it was a collection of verses for DJs or minuses for rappers who couldn't afford DJs (from late 80s). He threw all non-album songs in mixtape and since them it's what mixtape is, not what it was before. Absouletly, fkng hilarious people hang out here
