As far as accomplished singers/actresses go, Queen Latifah is one of the most successful. She can rap with the best homies out there and then turn around and act her way to an Oscar nomination. For this versatility and for her dynamic character, we give mad respect to this First Lady of Hip Hop and new queen of the big screen. A rapper extraordinaire and performer first, Queen Latifah broke onto the scene with the 1989 album All Hail the Queen. As she made hit singles and took home awards (including a Grammy) she was recognized as the trailblazer in female hip-hop. Latifah proved to be an excellent actress as well, starring on the TV series Living Single before doing films like Jungle Fever, Set it Off, Bringing Down the House and Chicago, for which she received an Oscar nomination.

Reuters - NEW YORK (Billboard) - Creative plural notwithstanding, John Fogerty was the Blue Ridge Rangers on his 1973 solo debut, adopting the fictitious band moniker as a means of swinging back at writer's block and Creedence Clearwater Revival's flameout -- but not so much on the sequel, "The Blue Ridge Rangers Rides Again." For this warm set of 11 country-time covers (including a track from his 1986 album, "Eye of the Zombie"), Fogerty turns to his speed-dial list of superstars. He recruits Bruce Springsteen for a gallop through the Everly Brothers' "When Will I Be Loved?" and the Eagles' Don Henley and Timothy B. Schmit for Ricky Nelson's age-appropriate "Garden Party." Elsewhere, Fogerty is accompanied by folks like Buddy Miller and Kenny Aronoff. Not surprisingly, Fogerty settles into his country surroundings with a self-assured grace, especially on John Prine's melancholy "Paradise," Jerry Gillespie's "Heaven's Just a Sin Away" and even on John Denver's "Back Home Again."
