Maino's back once again, serving as the hip-hop prophet. Last year it was "'10 Predictions," and now it's time for 2011. BK's crystal ball seer is coming in with a 22% success rate after his predictions about dude's pants getting tighter, groupies winning, the Knicks still sucking, and Jay not retiring came true. So XXLmag.com is here to break down and spell out Maino's prophecies for the New Year. Here it is folks, "2011 Predictions" unfolded. —Amber McKynzie

“Somebody gonna die over damn Twitter beef”
Now, Maino could be on to something and this could be funny, except for the fact that this already happened last January when Kwame Dancy, 22, was gunned down by his homeboy Jameg Blake, 22 in Harlem. BK’s musical prophet was right, just a year too late. This year, let's find a different way to bring New York back.

“50 Tyson might drop before Dre do.”
Well if you read the most recent issue of XXL with Dre on the cover, you know we’ve all been waiting on Dre’s Detox for the past 12 years. But while his outstanding album is scheduled to drop this year, 50 Tyson just might make it there first – kickin’ it off with his first single “I’m 50 Tyson/Born to be a Ballplayer.”

“Kat Stacks gonna be a basketball wife.”
Well…if she does, she can leave her WorldStar videos alone and maybe get a “Chance of…” reality show or be on next season of “Basketball Wives,” because last I checked they don’t have “The Real Housewives of Rap Stars.”

“We gonna find Raz B in Eddie Long closet.”
In October of last year, Raz B made a video ridiculing Chris Stokes, Marques Houston and Bishop Eddie Long for their love for little boys. It’s no secret the former B2K singer came forth about his closed-door molestation by Stokes and Houston and that Long is undergoing investigation for some pedophilia tendencies … let’s just hope this one doesn’t come true.

“The Source Awards comin’ back in, that’s like Pacquiao and Floyd – never happn’.”
Hmmm. No Comment.

“I see Lindsay Lohan relapsin’.”
She wrote “fuck u” on her middle finger during her last hearing. While she might not want to go relapse and go back to rehab, it might not be a surprise.

“Tip comin’ home, Gucci goin in/Terrorists plots, another bomb again.”
Tip is comin' home, and Guch may very well go back in once he's released from rehab, but let's try not to predict the next terrorist attack. I'm just saying...

“The Knicks comin up, Amber Rose dyin’ down.”
Last year Maino said it, "the Knicks are gon' suck." This year this year they've gotten better, but there's still no LeBron and no Melo, so it looks like the mere thought of a championship will have to wait another 12 months.

“We gon’ find out who’s in Illuminati.”
Just think about it …With all the rumors you’ve heard about what it takes to be down with the Illuminati, you should clearly already know who’s in it.

“Foxy comin’ back, the return of the dead.”
Lil’ Kim’s trying to make her comeback, it’s only fitting she try to make one too.

“More photos of those R&B niggas with transvestites.”
Don’t know about R&B, but didn’t Ma$e get caught in 2007 in Atlanta, circling a block six times before trying to pick up a transvestite?

“Fresh home, bet Wayne win a Grammy.”
The first single from the Tha Carter IV, “6’7”,” was immediately compared to “A Milli.” He got a Grammy then, is there a question as to if he can do it again?

“Kim K, she gon’ drop a album.”
She has a TV show, she has a sex tape or two, she has multiple endorsements, a fragrance, and a clothing line. The only thing missing is the music career. That shouldn’t be too hard to accomplish with her mother, Kris Jenner, by her side, and Kanye around (if the rumors are true).

“Jay and Kanye gon’ do a mil or better, and niggas gon’ start sayin’ Kanye is better.”
Jay and Yeezy have been platinum artists for how many years now? It's not too far fetched that they'll stay there. But if 'Ye partners up with Josh Groban for real ... yeah, he'll be on top.

“Chelsea Handler gon’ get caught with a Black man.”
Hasn’t that one kind of happened already? Handler had no problem tweeting a picture of her and 50 Cent on Dec 13 of last year in the bed together. So the question is when will get caught with another one?

“I predict I will fall out with another rapper … I might fall out with a couple rappers.”
Well said, Maino. Well said.
