Gwen Stefani - Akon worked with Gwen Stefani on her "Sweet Escape" single and planned to tour with her until Verizon pulled themselves out of backing Gwen's tour. Too bad Akon! (Photo: Bryan Bedder/Getty Images)
R. Kelly  - Mr. Kelly's magic musical touch continued with the release of his disc Write Me Back. The soul icon is nominated for both Album of the Year and The Ashford & Simpson Songwriter's Award. (Photo: Donna Ward/Getty Images for Arise Made in Africa)
"Rap God" - Eminem sends a warning shot to anyone that thinks he's fallen off with this lyrical act of terror. "Only realized it was ironic I was signed to Aftermath after the fact / How could I not blow, all I do is drop F-bombs, feel my wrath of attack / Rappers are having a rough time period, here's a maxi pad / It's actually disastrously bad for the wack," he raps. (Photo: REUTERS/Lucy Nicholson /Landov)/content/dam/betcom/images/2012/02/Music-02-01-02-15/021012-music-tweets-snoop-dogg.jpg
