Now that 2013 is almost in the books and Christmas day is upon us, it is only fitting that Hip-Hop Wired also get into the holiday spirit.

As we all know giving good gifts is all about personalization. Who doesn’t want something that really speaks to their interests and or needs?

With that in mind we thought about all those individuals who made the Hip-Hop Wired headlines this year and comprised a list of gifts we would give to these reality television stars, recording artists, estranged celebrities, athletes and struggle rappers alike.

So in the following pages you’ll see who,whether naughty or nice, made our list and what we would get them. Let us know if we did a good job or not in the comments section.

Who: Tracy McGrady
Gift: A tailor

We are still not sure what was going on when Tracy McGrady showed up on NBA TV looking like Roscoe from the Martin television series, but no seven time All-Star should struggle so much with his clothing.

Who: Wale
Gift: Media training

While we appreciate artists who are passionate about their craft, Wale proved he needed to be a bit more savvy when dealing with the press. He recently threatened to bless a Complex writer with a fade for omitting the Maybach Music Group from their “Top 50 Album of 2013” list.

Who: Peter Gun
Gift: House slippers

Even though this man helped craft one of the biggest Rap songs of the 90’s, his legacy will forever be the sight of his dusty feet on Love And Hip-Hop: New York.

Who: Kanye West
Gift: Anger management classes

Yeezy went absolutely ham in 2013 with what seemed to be biweekly rants about being marginalized, his fight against corporate America, being the 2Pac of product and even served a paparazzo the fade.

Who: Gucci Mane
Gift: English Grammar For Dummies

There is only so much we can do for Gucci Mane while he sits behind bars, again. But when you look at Guwop’s struggle tweets you can only feel bad for dude when he is so grammar impaired.

Who: Chief Keef
Gift: An Iyanla: Fix My Life episode

When it comes to Chief Keef, absolutely zero f’s are given. This boy needs to slow down as he is doing entirely too much. We are not sure if Iyanla can help the GBE rapper, but at this point it’s a shot.

Who: Trinidad James
Gifts: Dental braces, How to Rap: The Art & Science of the Hip-Hop MC book

Trinidad still hasn’t fixed those messy choppers of his and clearly needs to sharpen his Rap skills after exemplifying the meaning of struggle rapper when he freestyled on the Tim Westwood show. Trinidad; help us to help you bro.

Who: Nicki Minaj
Gift: Year-round Halloween observation

We know this gift is a stretch but after seeing Nicki in her dominatrix outfit can you really blame us?

Who: Paula Deen
Gift: A day pass to Black slavery museum

After the celebrity chef admitted to a history of using racial slurs in her vocabulary, we think it is only right she take a trip to see the effects of the Black holocaust.

Who: Chris Brown
Gift: Calming tea

Breezy had a rough 2013 which involved an alleged fade served to a photo bomber in Washington D.C. and a public attempt at rehab.  Maybe some calming tea will help him take the edge off.
