Everyone's talking about Kanye West's new album and how awesome it's going to be. Meanwhile, Kim K is getting so plumped up, we know that baby is about to drop.

His new album has a ridiculous name, and it goes without saying that the Louis Vuitton Don will concoct some insane moniker for his wriggling bundle of joy. Inside sources tell gossip rags that Kanye is heading the name-game, and we're not too surprised. Bro has a vision and he doesn't let anyone get in the way of his artistry.

But what will the lil' saggy bb's name be? Here are Crossfade's best guesses.

The beef is still hot.

Last month, Trick Daddy got heated over Lil Wayne disrespecting Dade County, LeBron, D-Wade, Bosh (and wife), and the #HeatGang. So he showed out, rolled up, and confronted Weezy at Miami's King of Diamonds strip club.

There was apparently a scuffle, a flicked cigarette, some nasty words. However, the 305 Mayor says, the Young Money maniac's just lucky that he escaped without major injury.

Lil Wayne is still alive.

Last month, reports of Weezy's imminent death started flying 'round the internet after TMZ inaccurately announced that a sizzurp-binge week's worth of seizures had left the rapper "on life support, awaiting last rites."

Turned out, Wayne survived. He finished a new album. He even announced a new tour. But last night, Wayne had another attack. And he was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Hospital. Again.

The Prez and Hova "got a little bond there."

But Obama insists he didn't help his pals, Jay-Z and Beyonce (AKA The Carters), secure clearance from the Treasury Department for their fifth anniversary vacay to Cuba.

"This is not something the White House was involved with," POTUS tells the Today Show's Savannah Guthrie, brushing a lil' dirt off his shoulder.

"We've got better things to do."

Senator Marco Rubio suggested that Jay-Z and Beyoncé have "no interest in Cuban People's freedom." And U.S. Representatives Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Mario Diaz-Balart said that the pair's recent visit "funds the machinery of oppression."

Pero, their constituent, Miami native, and Cuban-American rapper Pitbull thinks that the Carters' Treasury-approved "educational exchange trip" is the least important diplomatic dialogue about Cuba that the U.S. government should be having.

"Admit it if you want to, truth is the truth, lie if you want to," Pit raps on his latest track, a response to the unnecessary controversy surrounding Jigga's vacation. "Politics, yeah, that's politic."

The Bawse says: "I apologize." And this time, he means it.

After a couple of weak attempts at defending his molly sex assault verse on Rocko's "U.O.E.N.O." (condescendingly calling "woman ... the most precious gift known to man" and then cringe-worthily tweeting ""I dont condone rape. #BOSS"), William Roberts (AKA Rick Ross) is finally, truly admitting that "suggest[ing] in any way that harm and violation be brought to a woman is one of my biggest mistakes and regrets."

It seems Jay-Z has been up to more than smoking cigars and celebrating his marriage in Cuba. He's been busy penning and recording a serious dis track to all those haters who aren't happy to see the first couple of hip-hop chillin' so close to Castro.

His recent vacation to the island set some politicians on fire, especially when they heard Hova and Bey had the official OK from the U.S. Treasury Department.

But Jay doesn't take kindly to others meddling in his affairs. So he wrote this "Open Letter" over a new Timbaland- and Swizz Beats-produced joint, name-dropping the prez and telling everyone to basically go to hell.

UPDATE Pitbull has dropped a rap response to Jay-Z and Beyonce's Cuba visit, offering to pay for the trip.

UPDATE #2 Problem Kids have released "Useful Idiot" about Jay-Z: "The real cuba is not what he portrayed"

UPDATE #3 Obama has commented on Jay-Z and Beyonce in Cuba, saying: ""This is not something the White House was involved with. We've got better things to do."
