All the media hype and talking is just about over. On Sunday, we will find out who the best team in football is for the 2012-2013 season.

MTV grabbed a few rappers who also happen to be sports fans to get their predictions on the match up.

Check out T.I., 2 Chainz, Mac Miller, Mike Tyson, Pusha T, A$AP Rocky and more speaking about the game.

I'm not sure this is done very often, but it's an interesting concept nonetheless. Justina remixed Trinidad James' "All Gold Everything" back in December and called it "All Hoes Everything" She recruits Da Brat and Shawnna for an all female remix of her previous version

Love & Hip Hop New York cast member Raqi Thunda has been mentioned in the media a lot recently because of her issues with Tahiry, Consequence and Joe Budden. Raqi claimed that Joe physically assaulted her on the set of the show, leaving her with a missing toe nail

Some have suggested that Raqi is in love with Joe, which she denies, but their relationship is definitely complicated.

During a recent interview with The Breakfast Club, Joe discussed Raqi and their drug use together over the summer.

"We popped [molly's] all summer. I stopped. I had a bunch of bad incidents," Joe said. "My brain just operates differently on drugs. It was definitely a relapse. But I mean, me and Raqi did a lot of drugs together." 

In a new interview with Vlad TV, Raqi admits to experimenting with Joe by taking Molly, but says it's not her thing. She claims to have witnessed the Slaughterhouse rapper's descent into a drug-induced haze. At one point she tried an intervention..

"I went to his house to tell him get off the f*cking Molly's you look crazy as hell," Raqi said. "I was around him for 5 or 6 days at a time where he didn't eat, he didn't sleep. He was on blogTV literally deteriorating before his fan's eyes. I had to remove myself from the situation and watch him from a viewer's perspective. And I'm like 'holy sh*t Love & Hip Hop is about to start filming in a month and we're gonna look crazy.'"

In the wake of mass shootings like the ones in Newtown, Connecticut and Aurora, Colorado, there has been an increasing debate about gun control in America.

While most of the debate has centered on spree shootings, Al Jazeera English takes a look at the problem of gangs and guns in America's inner cities in the third part of their three part series "Inside Story Americas: Guns In the United States."

Today's episode focuses on Baltimore, Maryland. The city, which was the backdrop for HBO's gritty series "The Wire" had 217 murders last year. 1 in 4 people live below the poverty line. Many people living in the inner city have turned to gangs and drug dealing as a means of survival, which means more gun violence, making it a dangerous place to live.

"Because you know it's a lot of wolves in this city. You refuse to be that one sheep that gets taken for everything," said former gang member, Shawn Hawkins. "You know in your heart you're a good guy and you don't intend on hurting anybody, but the next man may hurt you. You're gonna need a gun."

Shawn says getting your hands on a gun in Baltimore is very easy.

"It's like going to the store to buy a lollipop. If you got the money, you got a gun in this city," he says. "If you had to break it down 1/4 of it would be for drugs, 1/4 of it would be for gangs. 50 percent in general is just pure survival."

Shawn Hawkins

Shakiara Lester works for "Rewired for Change," a charity that helps people escape the cycle of gang violence, gun crimes and prison. She explains why many turn to those options to survive.

"A lot of people between the ages of 16 and 24, they gota take care of their entire house," she explains. "Their grandmother is an alcoholic, their mother don't come home, they don't know the father, but the mother got four kids. All y'all living in one house. You gotta take care of them. So now what's left for me to do that I'm 18-years old and my grandmother can't feed my four brothers and sisters? I have to go and do it. Nobody is talking about the reality of it, They're just saying that all the bad people should be in jail."

Handguns are the second leading cause of death for African Americans from 18 to 25-years old in the United States.

Why isn't there more attention being paid to gun homicides in urban areas? Is the answer more power for police? This documentary attempts to examine that issue. Watch it below

It looked like there might be trouble in paradise for Coco and Ice-T in December when pics of Coco snuggled up with rapper AP.9 hit the net, but the buxom model says nothing could be further from the truth.

"Do I want to set the record straight? No," Coco told the Daily Mail, "Because that's old news. And those pictures [with Moose Diesel] are old too. People are going to think what they think and there's nothing I can do about it. But people were also saying my booty was fake too no matter what I said or did, so there's nothing I can do about that either."

Coco and Moose Diesel

Coco insists she and Ice have moved past the turmoil.

"Ice and I just live our own lives," she adds. "I have to answer to him and he has to answer to me and that's it. We don't care about the outside world and even though it can be harsh out there, we just have to deal with it."

AP.9 and Coco

When the scandal initially broke there were reports that Ice and Coco had split. She insists there's no truth to that rumor. In fact the couple renewed their wedding vows on New Year's Eve.


"There's no truth to that rumor at all. I look at couples in the street who are in their sixties and have been together for 40 years and they're my idols. That's Ice and me for sure. We already feel like that because we've been together so long," she insists.

The couple met in 2001 when Ice was 43-years old and Coco was 22. They got married 2 months later and have been together ever since.

"We're like a brother and sister who've known each other the whole time. We're best friends and we're tight-knit. Has the whole episode been hurtful? 'It has, yeah," she admits, "And I don't like to have to deal with it. But you know, people don't like me because people don't really like models.'
