Article: Hip-Hop & Taxes: 10 Artists Targeted By The IRS

[Mr. Kennedy]

It has also been an eventful time for the Hip-Hop industry and paying taxes. Or lack thereof. Yesterday (24th June 2013) saw Joseph Cartagena a.k.a Fat Joe sentenced to 4 months in federal prison and also fined $15,000 for failure to file tax returns on more than $3.3 million in income. Joey Crack isn’t the only one in the Hip-Hop industry to have their collar felt by the IRS.

We are going to look back at 10 Hip-Hop artists who have had their run-ins with the IRS.

SO with Fat Joe being locked away in the clink, what's everyone's thoughts on the amount of artists always being caught up with the IRS?

I'm actually looking forward to ur articles man.

I thought Fat Joe was getting like 4 years lol, 4 months ain't that much imo. Still i wouldnt want to spend 4 months in prison.

I kind of see Lil Wayne and Scott Storch not paying their taxes and i only see Lil wayne not learning from the mistakes and do it again.

Thanks for the support man I really appreciate that! If you like video games and hip-hop you might like that site I'm writin for TheKoalition.com.

But yeah you're probably right lol Wayne and DMX are the ones who won't learn imo. Possibly Method Man too for being too high again.

Hopefully DMX will get his shit straight. Don't want to see him go down like that. And the Method Man one has to be one of the funniest ones lol.

With DMX, it seems to be a chronic mental illness with him or something. Failing to pay taxes is actually only scratching the surface when it comes to him and the law.

Crack may have something to do with it maybe.

Wayne is retarded anyways, DMX is going through hell because of drugs.

Neither will probably learn from this.
