My vote is for Big K.R.I.T.  I feel lyrically, with his story telling, charisma, humility and the fact that he comes off as a really good dude that he has the potential to be around for a long time. I don't necessarily feel his debut will be this huge commercial hit (similar to T.I.'s I'm Serious), but the career that T.I. has had since then, I feel emulates what Krit's will blossom in to.  He also makes his own beats, which also favor his longevity.

Kendrick Lamar for $1000, Alex. At this very moment, somebody's enjoying that "Buried Alive" interlude from Drake's Take Care, and they have no clue that they're listening to Kendrick Lamar.  He's underground famous -- not famous famous -- which is unfortunate since the masses could benefit from adding a little O(verly) D(edicated) or Section.80 to their iTunes library. Kendrick also seems to have more heart than he has ego.  There's a rawness and thoughtfulness to his lyrics that the game could always use more of. Please see:  "Ignorance is Bliss," "Keisha's Song (Her Pain)"...

Jay-Z and Kanye can deny their membership in the secret society all they want, but The Urban Daily highlights some of the supposed Illuminati images found in everyone's favorite track from Watch The Throne.

More Illuminati conspiracy theories dropping in 3, 2...

“Forks need to be heavy, he told his small audience, which included Chris Sharples, the architect in charge of designing a block of luxury suites at Barclays Center that would bear the rap impresario's imprint. Forks, Jay-Z said, need to have substance. A plastic fork? Please. Even stainless steel was out of the question.”

Forks. Jay-Z is worried about forks. That sh*t cray. But not only is he pining over the flatwear, Jigga is making sure that the liquor being poured is handpicked and the décor fits his high standards. For those who have been following this story, you shouldn't be too surprised with his hands on approach as he's reportedly been involved with everything from the Nets' new uniforms, logo and team colors; all of which will be unveiled this Spring.

This September, Hova will celebrate the opening of the new arena with a concert. Yeah, he's involved. However, it's still not known exactly what his ownership percentage is. Either way, he's making sure his fingerprints are all over this one. If he doesn't have a huge stake in the Brooklyn Nets it will surely feel like it.
The luxury suites are kind of like a big deal; especially when you consider that Jay-Z will be one of the eleven tenants. No wonder why he's so interested in the details. One small problem, what about the 99% of Nets fans who can't afford these luxuries? Well, there will be 2,000 tickets priced at $15 or less. No, there will be no champagne and high end silverware. You'll just have to make due with an overpriced Bud Light and a plastic fork for your chili cheese fries. Nevertheless, you can say that you shared a building with Jay-Z and a bunch of snooty rich folks.

Now, whether or not all these luxuries will equate to the Nets making the playoffs is a different story. But whoever is sitting in these suites sipping on $300 bottles of Armand de Brignac, surrounded by shimmering black metallic décor and eating their meal with the finest of flatwear, do you think they'll care whether or not the Nets are getting blown out? Probably not.

UPDATE: According to VEVO, the "Ni**as In Paris" video will debut tomorrow (February 9) at noon and will be uncensored.

While grateful for the opportunity to attain such an achievement, Cole insists he's still hungry for more. "I'm grateful for everything that's happened, but I'm not satisfied. These are all accomplishments from the work I've put in last year, and the last 2-3 years...they're reminders of the work that I've done in the past, and I'm already on to the next move. That's my mind-state."

In addition to attaining platinum status for his single, "Work Out," Cole saw his debut album, Cole World: The Sideline Story, reach gold status as well. While these are great achievements for the young star, they are things he's planned; like ensuring that his debut would hit the shelves prior to the Grammy deadline. "I was telling the management and the label, that I had to beat the Grammy deadline. If you look at the date, my album came out two days before the Grammy deadline, and that's because I knew I had a shot."

The 54th Annual Grammy Awards will air Feb. 12th at 8pm.

In the first photos released since the birth of her baby girl Blue Ivy just a month ago, pop star Beyoncé is looking trim and fit already. No doubt this will only increase the conspiracy theories surrounding her pregnancy.

Not to be outdone, Blue Ivy Carter also made an appearance, in the form of Jay-Z's "Glory," which features Princess Carter. Fans sang along, as Hov's jubilation from becoming a father for the first time was very evident, as he performed the ode to "daddy's little girl."

The concert will benefit the United Way of New York City as well as Hov's Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation. All tickets listed at $500 and above include a donation, while $1,250 tickets include access to an exclusive after-party held at Manhattan's Hudson Hotel. $1,500 tickets will buy concert goers access to the show as well as an after-party at Jay's newly renovated 40/40 Club.

Show number two will be held February 7, at 9:50 p.m. Check the videos for a look at what's in store for the 2nd live performance.
