Beyoncé and Rihanna Drop a Collaboration Video - There’s no denying that Rih Rih and Bey are straight up dimes with an abundance of musical talent to back it up and the world would love to see them finally come together on a song. If that rumored tracklist floating around the web indicating that we might get the Roc’s leading ladies mashing it up on “Cherry” from Mrs. Carter’s upcoming Platinum Edition were true, all we'd need is a visual of Jay Z’s top priorities flaunting what their mama’s gave them. Undoubtedly, they'd have the Internet going nuts. (Photos from left: iam.beyonce via Tumblr, WENN.com)

March 9th and September 13th Become National Days of Unity in Hip Hop - March 9th and September 13th were days of great tragedy in hip hop, as the days that Notorious B.I.G. and 2Pac, respectively, passed away. In the years since, they've continuiously served as unofficial days of remembrance where we honor the lives and music of the two legends. Why not take it a step further, and make these two dates official days of unity in hip hop, where rappers host free fan appreciation concerts throughout the country and promote messages of anti-violence?(Photos from left: Raymond Boyd/Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images,  Adger Cowans/Getty Images)

The Murders of Tupac and The Notorious B.I.G. Solved - It’s been almost twenty years since Tupac and Biggie were murdered and their tragic deaths remain unsolved. While there has been plenty of speculation about who was involved, nothing concrete has ever been revealed. If footage from those tragic nights and reliable witnesses ever came forward, this would be an epic moment on the Internet and the hip hop titans may finally rest in peace.(Photos from left: Raymond Boyd/Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images, Adger Cowans/Getty Images) 

A Prominent Male Hip Hop Star Comes Out the Closet - Hypermasculinity has been a key selling point in mainstream media, so it was brave when Frank Ocean and Jason Collins came out as bisexual and gay, respectively. But the playing field of mainstream rap has yet to be broken when it comes to homosexuality. If a popular emcee revealed his preference for men in a confessional song, it would be an historic moment, documented digitally, of course. (Photo: VStock/Tetra Images/Corbis)

Diddy and Cassie Wedding - Many wedding photos for superstars have had their moments on the Internet but if the Bad Boy head honcho ever finally decided to jump the broom with his lovely girlfriend Cassie, it would be a royal and grand affair.

Take that, Internet.(Photo: Jeff Vespa/Getty Images For GQ)

Selfie of Snoop Dogg Blazing in the White House - Everyone knows that Snoop is in love with Mary Jane and has been known to overlook a “No Smoking" sign.

Detox Sessions Released for Free Download - Dr. Dre tormented us for over 10 years with his phantom album Detox. After finally telling the world that he’d moved on from at least the title, the least he could do is leak about 10 of those unheard for sure classics from the likely hundreds of songs that were recorded during those sessions. You owe us, Doc. That download would probably take hours because everybody and their mama will be trying to hear some of that shelved heat.(Photo: Mike Coppola/Getty Images)

Kanye West and Taylor Swift Drop a Duet - Kanye West became the man America most loved to hate the night he took Taylor Swift's VMA shine after she won Best Female Video over Beyoncé's "Single Ladies" back in 2009. Now that time has passed and Taylor's set her sights on crossing over from country to pop, Mr. West could make those dreams come true, like how he relentlessly pursued getting Kim on the cover of Vogue. Or was it the other way around? Either way, a Yeezy and Tay Tay duet would crash the web as one of the most downloaded songs ever.(Photo: Christopher Polk/Getty Images)
