9) Ludacris is going to move into Jay-Z's spot as favorite MC to collab with. He will also form a group with U-God called Yellow Boys. Their first single will be called "Light Skinned and Horny".
10) DJ premier will remix all of Stillmatic (that's more of a hope than a prediction)
11) Bahamadia will collab with Missy Elliot for her new album and the song will be called "True Honey Bunz 2002" Cinnabon will sponsor a loung tour.
12) Jay will find a way to be on top again like Mike
