Kings And Queens: Jay-Z & The Fantasy Royal Family Of Hip-Pop (PHOTOS)

Jay-Z and Beyonce are rumored to be performing at the Royal Wedding this week. While it's not yet clear if the King and Queen of hip-hop will put on for the royal couple, what is clear is that only royalty is good enough for royalty.

Just in case Jay-Z and Beyonce don't perform for Prince William and his bride to be, Kate Middleton, we have compiled a list and brief history of many entertainers who have claimed the throne of their respective field.

While Hov has climbed his way from the projects to the Forbes list, he had a long road and like Prince William, he has to wait for his chance at the throne. So in honor of Prince William getting married so he can "Watch The Throne," we thought it would be a pretty cool idea to highlight some other Kings and Queens of hip-pop.
