Fresh off of nabbing the top spot on MTV's Hottest MC's in the Game list, Kendrick Lamar took some time out to speak with Rap-Up TV about several topics.
The Top Dawg Entertainment artist said he's contemplating his next single off of his album, good kid, m.A.A.d city. "Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe" is a strong possibility, but K. Dot said that decision is still up in the air.
Kendrick also spoke about possible future collaborations with Drake and bringing 50 Cent out at his recent sold out show at Roseland Ballroom in New York City.
"That was a great moment," said Kendrick. "Fif a fool too. So entertaining...too entertaining so I had a lot of fun. It was more about just putting on a show for the people and letting them know I appreciate them for welcoming me into their city. A lot of artists can't do that. That was much love and respect"

Chrissy Teigen may have violated Instagram's terms of use yesterday, but we're not mad at her. The 27-year old, who was Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Editions’ “Rookie of the Year 2010,” and is currently enganged to John Legend, celebrated getting 200,000 Twitter followers by posting a racy pic of herself online.
In the pic Chrissy is completely naked while happily getting spray tanned. (See the uncensored photo here).
“If this doesn’t get me suspended I dunno what will #happy2000000,” she tweeted.
Chrissy initially didn't think the pic was too risque, but later came to realize she may have shown off too much skin.
"It's not a nipple it's a shadow it's not a bush it's a shadow," she wrote. "Oh god I just blew it up on my computer I get what you're saying oh no."
The sexy model blamed the mistake on being drunk.
What do you think? Was it the wine or a ploy for attention?

Hanging out with rappers must be rubbing off on Justin Bieber because the pop star tried to fight a photographer in London earlier today.
According to TMZ, Bieber, flanked by a couple of bodyguards was leaving the Central London hotel when his crew pushed their way past a photographer.
The photographer screamed that he was assaulted and started to curse at Bieber, who had already made it inside his vehicle.
"F*ck off back to America!" the photog yelled "F*cking little moron."
The 19-year old singer who stands 5'7, and probably doesn't weigh more than 140 pounds hopped out of his ride and tried to go after the photographer.
"The f*ck you say? What did you say? I'll f*cking beat the f*ck out of you," Bieber said, while being restrained by one of his bodyguards.
"Lose your f*cking bouncers," the cameraman replied. "Come back you prick!"
By that time Bieber's security team had placed him back inside his SUV, ending the confrontation.
Bieber tweeted about the incident shortly afterwards.

Terrence Howard took a break from lusting after Oprah Winfrey's "tig ole bitties" and sat down with HipHollywood to talk about his new film Dead Man Down.
In the movie Terrence plays the ruthless crime lord Alphonse.
"You have to tap into your own mistakes and misgivings that you've made," Terrence said, speaking about how he got into character to play a villain in the flick. "You have to rip open wounds, scars and not allow them to heal."
Last year the actor went through a bitter divorce battle with his ex-Michelle Ghent. Howard feels like some members of the black media treated him unfairly because he married an Asian woman.
"We have a crab mentality where we still pull each down because of choices that we make," Terrence said of African Americans. "Because I choose to marry an Asian woman, instead of a black woman. I think as black people we have to start helping each other and congratulating each other for being morally strong. If you don't have something nice to say, don't say nothing at all."
Do you agree with Terrence? Let us know what you think in the comment section below.
