For many, the box-office smashing ‘Get Out’ offered the world an innovative and pungent look into the commodification of black people and their bodies.

Alas, after spending the last year receiving praise for raising the public’s consciousness on the matter and standing tall as the year’s most profitable release, the movie now finds itself at the heart of Golden Globe-related drama.

Why?

2017 just keeps looking better and better for Kendrick Lamar.

The Grammy-winning rap star laid claim to the year’s biggest hit (streaming and sales) for a solo artist with his chart-topping hit, ‘Humble,’ while its parent album – ‘Damn’ – topped album charts upon its arrival and is now eligible for triple platinum certification in the U.S.

These wins and many more helped make the hip hop hitmaker a shoo-in for the cover of ‘Forbes’ magazine’s annual prestigious ’30 Under 30′ issue. Lamar, 30, was one of 600 lucky enough to make the highly competitive list (which boasts over 15,000 annual submissions) and rightfully so if you ask us.  According to the money mag:

He’s earned $78.5 million over the past five years, including a career-best $30 million this year, and inked a new Nike deal this summer.

In the music business, Lamar has grown into a force. He has earned two visits to the White House and grosses more than $1 million a night on the road and even more for big festivals like Coachella…

K.Dot isn’t the only hip hop star making money moves, however.  As she proclaimed in her chart-topping hit, ‘Bodak Yellow,’ rising rapstress Cardi B – thanks to the song’s out-of-the-box success – saw her name printed on the list.

‘Paper’ Magazine sure knows how to get tongues wagging.

After stopping traffic and a few hearts with their now infamous 2014 Kim Kardashian shoot and following that with a full frontal spread of an eagle-spread ‘Love & Hip Hop’ star Milan Christopher, the mag looks to break the internet again with none other than self-proclaimed Queen of Rap Nicki Minaj.

Featured with “herself” in a “minaj a trois,” the Grammy nominated star – who involuntarily dominated headlines over the weekend after her brother was found guilty of child rape – has certainly redirected that unwanted attention in a big way.

Posing ever so seductively for the publication’s ‘winter issue,’ fans of the Harajuku Barbie saw her sliding down their social media timelines like never before just moments ago when the mag cover was released.  Giving new meaning to the TGJ phrase “hot shot,” tuck in below to see the cover in full:
