A lot of musical acts exist in the hip hop world, but not all of them started off with plans about being the best at what it is that they do. As a matter of fact, many of them started out as people who just loved what they do and they make it to the limelight of the musical world because they were consistent with what they enjoyed doing, but there are some selected few that always wanted to make it real big in the industry, and they eventually did because they were making some moves that others never dared to make.
Also, in the musical world, there are many musicians but there are not so many people who we can classify as a business mogul, but this does not in any way mean that there are no business moguls in the musical world. One of such people whom one can easily regard as business experts at their musical act while they are also business moguls is the personality of Jay-Z.

However, unlike most musical acts that one simply hears the most, he is the kind of family man to carry his family along in his success story and that is why so many people hear more about his wife and kids, in the proper assessment of his success story. Although controversies also rock his fame like many big shots in the industry, we all know about Jay-Z today because he is always in the media for one big deal or the other.
