12 Comebacks We're Rooting For in 2012 - 2012: Year of the Comeback. At least that's how it looks judging from all the old heads poised to make a big splash this year. Solo MCs are overcoming health and legal issues, legendary groups are getting back together, and some of music's most infamous hermits are showing their faces again. Some will succeed, some will fail, but either way, we'll be waiting and watching. Click on to see 12 comebacks we'll be cheering on in 2012.

D'Angelo - Yeah, call us optimists, but 2012 sorta-kinda-maybe looks like the year that D'Angelo will finally reemerge from the Batcave — or was it rehab? We're not sure, but either way, long-time collaborator Questlove says the project is in the "mixing stages" and we're taking him at his word. (Photo: Frank Micelotta/ImageDirect)

Ciara - After label woes and other industry snafus hindered her career, the princess of crunk-n-B has been little more than red-carpet eye candy the past few years. With a new record deal, here's hoping she can one-two step her way back into the studio, the limelight and the charts.

OutKast - Believe it or not, it's been 12 years since a proper Outkast LP dropped (Love Below/Speakerboxxx was really just two solo albums). But with rumors pointing to a new album this year, we can't wait to see what one of rap's greatest groups has in store — and what Andre 3000 is going to wear. (Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images)

T.I. - The South needs its king. Tip hit the ground running when he was sprung from his 10-month prison sentence last year, releasing a bevy of new material and guest appearances. None of them reached the royal heights of T.I. in his prime, but we're giving him the benefit of the doubt and eagerly anticipating his new album, Trouble Man. Let's hope he remembers to let his entourage hold the contraband next time — that's what they're for, right? (Photo: Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images)
