Forget iced out medallions and watches. Even cars, cribs and kicks are cliché now. The ultimate hip-hop accessory these days is the wifey. That's right, "nothing makes a man feel better than a wo-man" -- especially one with all the right assets to raise your paparazzi potential and have the homies droolin'.

No longer playing the background (groupies still reside there, though), hip-hop arm candies are sweetening the sexpot by snaggin' everything from their own reality series to magazine covers. With so many sexy significant others stepping into the spotlight, SL compiled a list of 10 dimes worth their weight in braggin' rights.

See full list after the jump


10) Mariah Carey (Nick Cannon's Cougar)

With legs for days and crotch-tingling talent for hittin' high notes, Mariah has been one MILF (Musician I'd Like to . . .) pre-pubescent boys have been daydreaming about since the early 90s. We just have no idea how exactly Nick Cannon managed to be the one to make that wet dream a reality. We knew she was crazy, but not blind, too.


9) Serena Williams (Common's Personal Trainer)

Baby got back--literally. Like a broad, muscular, athletic one. But at least she has a booty to match. Serena's definitely got more meat on her bones than Common's former flame Ms. Badu, but at times she can appear a bit manly (yikes!). Broad shoulders aside, cottdamn, the younger Williams sister's backyard is bangin' like a Benz-y. If we were Common, though, we'd eat our Wheaties and start perfecting our backstroke.


8) Cassie (Diddy's Un-Official Girl)

What Diddy's angel lacks in hits and boobies, she makes up for with smoking hotness. Even with that weird side-of-the-head-buzz-cut, this is one bad girl. Cassie lost a few points for those trashy flicks of her spread bald eagle, but who doesn't love a sexy ex- catalog model that knows how to "take that, take that," right?


7) Coco (Ice-T's Bottom Chick)

If you've ever wondered what a "whooty" is, look no further than the curvaceous Coco. When it comes to white girls with a booty, Ice-T's bottom chick is the G.O.A.T. She's one mouth-waterin' piece of white chocolate, though at times she seem like too much of a tart for our sweet tooth.


6) Christina Milian (The Dream's Dream Come True)

 Despite her questionable taste in men the likes of Nick Cannon and Dre (not the Dr. or Mr. 3000, but the taller half of production duo Cool & Dre), shorty is the sh****t! Problem is, she keeps falling for some lame industry cat. Christina's latest boo is The Dream, which makes us think we all had a shot at baggin' this R&B chick. Well, if we were cornballs that is.



5) Porschla Coleman (Russell Simmons' Young Love)

Better known as Russell Simmons' main squeeze, this model is a major upgrade for the man who built Def Jam. Her name might sound like a sports car gone 'hood, but with bodywork like Porschla that's something that can be easily overlooked. Plus, her super-flexible yoga moves are enough to make anyone want to pop her clutch.



4) Alicia Keys (Swizz Beatz's Mistress)

Once she shed those trademark braids, Alicia started showing us what was hiding under those baggy jeans and we likey. Who knew all those years of sitting on a piano bench could do wonders for a woman's rump. She also shook off those lesbian rumors, thanks to her teenage love affair with Swizz Beatz that provides hope that at least someone's giving the penis to this sexy pianist instead of no one.


3) Tahiry José (Joe Budden's Latin Spitfire)

Kudos to Joe Budden for sharing the spotlight with his better half. Ever since he turned the camera on Tahiry's gravity defying booty, the Internet can't get enough of her. In fact, the Dominican dime and her derriere sprouted their own digital domain, tahirytv.com, where we can log on to see Joey's jump-off 24/7. Now that's must-see TV.


2) Beyoncé (Jay-Z's Better Half)

Jay-Z wasn't lying when he said he got the hottest chick in the game wearin' his chain (technically his ring now) because Mrs. Carter is a as bad as they come. Beyoncé may talk like a robot, but she moves her body like a snake and hypnotized grown men with her gyrations in the "Single Ladies" video. It's like the best three minutes and 29 seconds ever!


1) Amber Rose (Kanye's Lady Friend)

 Big Brother may have his love on lockdown, but Kanye West's holding down the flyest honey honors this go round. A low, cropped, blonde cut wouldn't work for the average woman, but Amber Rose is anything but average. A lean, mean, bisexual machine, she has a penchant for going topless and wearing dental floss string bikinis that pulls the paparazzi in like magnets. Now Kanye can pound his chest harder, better, faster, stronger, than ever for snaggin' the #1 girl. Damn that smug look on his face.
