A list of the hottest hip-hop power couples!

It's that time of the year again - Valentine's Day! The romantic holiday is upon us and we thought we'd share some of the love in the hip-hop community. Love and hip-hop doesn't have to be synonymous with ratchet behavior and baby daddy / momma drama, although you may be under a different impression if you've ever watched a full episode of VH1's Love & Hip-Hop.

Instead of focusing on the drama and nonsense, we've compile a list of hip-hop's power couples, those who've display true love, loyalty and respect for each other. From the ultimate power couple that is Jay-Z and Beyonce to newfound love like that of A$AP Rocky and model Chanel Iman, there's never a dull moment when it comes to rap game relationships.

If love and mushy stuff isn't your thing, we recommend checking out our Anti-Valentine's Day Rap Songs instead.
