I'll take you to the South Side

(of Chicago) to find this rapper turned 2011 Celebrity All-Star baller.

Common. Not only is he dabbling in acting to add to his already impressive music resume, but Common is also becoming quite the activist. Not to mention he's quite easy on the eyes (for being 38!). 

Who has a feud with Jay-Z?

Nas does!

He may have like a billion children (and by that I mean two). I don't really listen to his music, but he's gotten a fair amount of Grammy nominations for it. Thanks to Kara for this recommendation, since she's been less than pleased with previous selections -- Here at the MEC, reader feedback/suggestions is always encouraged!

I'll give you the green light

He serenades ladies all over the world with his silky voice - John Legend. He plays the piano (sweet!), graduated for Penn (that's an Ivy, folks!), and he's quite the philanthropist (awww!). How much more of a Renaissance man could he be!? 

Let Me Fill You In

Craig David. He sings, he runs, he gets to know you in 7 days. Best part of him, in my humble opinion, he's from the U.K.!!!!!!! Sure he's a little bit of a flashback. Sure he kinda looks like sleazy Tony Parker. But that's okay. It's a judge-free zone here. 

What's in a name?

I first knew him as Sean "Puffy" Combs, then Puff Daddy, then Diddy, then P. Diddy. At the ripe ol' age of 41, he shows no signs of slowing down. Also, who cares that he has a son who in year or two will be legal?? Some people would consider that a bonus. 

In the library, on top of books..

but we can't be too loud!! Ludacris, his lyrics are vulgar, yet we all love them. From ghetto to fabulous, you know what them girls like.

With a smooth voice and great wardrobe, I present...

Pharrell Williams. He sang with Snoop Dogg, his own group NERD, and everyone else on the planet. From rap artist to a forerunner in men's fashion, Pharrell is what Bruno Mars wishes he could be. Too bad Bruno Mars is 5'5" and annoying. 

Maybe I should just subscribe to GQ...

Drake. Yes, he was the handicapped basketball coach in Degrassi. So dramalicious. 

He just screams intrigue and sex. He'd probably be the best any girl has ever had. He's the only reason I don't change channels when the Sprite commercial comes on. He wants you to say his name, say his name, wear it out. Oh believe me Drake, I will. 

U-S-H-E-R-R-A-Y-M-O-N-D

So tell me whatcha wanna do with me ....

I don't think I really need to explain this one....
