It's finally here!! As promised, Kanye West graced these Internets with the "Power" remix. Don't be surprised when you rewind to play Ye's verse over and over. Oh, and, you know Jay and Swizzy do their thing as usual. Listen here!

Been off the radar for more than a minute, but came across this great short by one of my favorite spoken word artists. AlBe Back is still doing his thing and keeping the creativity flowing in everything he does. Peep the short film and you'll be quite amazed by AlBe's word game and acting skills.

The Dream's always penning radio jams and this new one is just in time for short-skirt weather. Featuring TIP ... mmm YUMMY! Give it a listen and melt away.

Ohhh, Kimmy. Ever since Nicki Minaj came on the scene, you've kinda fell off the map. Sigh. You were once a fave -- in a dirty trash idol kinda way. So this new joint "Pussy Purr" is pretty meh -- that Lil Kim bravado is just so far gone.

Looks like Ciara's Goodies are up definitely up for grabs ... She hooks up with Ludacris to show off just what she's capable of on "Ride." And apparently all the men love it -- err -- her skills.

It's a Barbie world and Nicki Minaj is the mayor! With the help of her own personal Ken, Sean Garrett syncs up on this new jam. Loving the beat, loving Nicki do her thing...

Isn't that precious. Weezy gave his boy Tyga a little spotlight just in time for the bossman to hit the clink. Oh, heyyyy, Nicki Minaj does her thing, so that's all that matter. Enjoy!

Has RiRi finally dropped that dark cloud hanging over her head? Sounds like a maybe. This new one from Roc Nation's own Bad Girl kinda reminds us of old-school, fun and sexy Rihanna. Check out the unreleased Prince-sampled "Sexuality."

Ooohh good music in 2010 never thought we'd hear the day. A new Lupe track leaked from his soon-to-be next album Lasers. Hear "Want U Want" and vibe this snow day away -- or whatever it is you west coasters do. Enjoy!

US American cats aren't the only ones obsessed with this song. Goans obsessively blast this song on repeat for hours all through the night on Baga Beach in Goa, India. Once one club moves onto another song, the club next door takes their turn to spin some memories. Here's the new video from David Guetta featuring Kid Cudi. Come take a walk through Miami with them.

Spring semester just got a little better. Our favorite Degrassi grad is finally taking his ass to college. Drake kicks off a college tour April 6th hitting 25 campuses around the U.S. Note to all the students: better keep the grades up and your rep even higher because only the cool kids get invited to the Private Locations.

I love when Santa's Reindeer start talking MAD SHIT to Kobe and Lebron! The crazy minds at Nike are always at it with their "'Lil Dez" commercial series featuring Kobe and Lebron puppets, and this Christmas installment is even better. For real, the only time I can stand Kobe is in puppet form... Watch below!Lupe Fiasco as "Blitzen" -- an appropriate reindeer-rapper match -- challenges black Santa

Rihanna's getting her troops ready for battle in her new video for "Hard." And still, the woman wears "protective" gear as fashion... don't mess with RiRi.

Rebirth might actually have some quality... err, ok maybe this ONE track... Here's the anticipated collaboration from Lil Wayne and Eminem. Mostly, we just want to hear more Marshall these days. Step aside Weezy, let the man have the mic.

Ayyyyy new one from Juelz Santana featuring the bad boy everyone loves to hate, C. Breezy... Let's go "Back To The Crib" with these two -- for real, Shorty always knew she was hitting up the pad later. WINK WINK ::Bedroom Eyes::!

As if this song isn't intoxicating enough, Trey went and got Young Jeezy to take it up a notch on the remix. Warning: you may be wasted after one listening. Don't say you weren't warned.

The promo tour never ends for Snoop. He took over the stage at Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Talks about the new album and a special DOGG reading from How The Grinch Stole Christmas. Have a Snoop-a-licious Holiday Season!

Snoop hits up Conan O'Brien to talk about his new album and taking over for Oprah. His point of view, His favorite books, His favorite things: cooking, greenery, and vegetation. Seriously, kids need to be able to come home from school and learn how to make a perfect pot brownie!

Ugh, really? Those vampire loving, werewolf obsessed freaks got Lupe Fiasco on the New Moon soundtrack?! Well, that's probably the only thing good/valuable about this movie. Lupe rocks out on "Solar Midnight" with a few cuts from the movie... Enjoy.

Ok. We get it. Scared money, don't make no money. But let's be honest -- we're in a fuckin' recession! Isn't everyone's money scared!?! That's what I thought. But here's a new one from Young Jeezy featuring everyone's favorite alien Lil Wayne. These two must be playing with some sketchy funding. Wish a motherfucker would!

Must-have music from the Game. He's still defying all those "best rappers in the game" and shutting off Kanye's flashing lights on this new track "Turn Off The Lights." Enjoy!

Uhhmmmm. Who exactly is Mariah hatin' on with this video? The pop-diva takes to the comfy beaches for some alone time to bitch about how much she is in l-o-v-e. This must be where MiMi goes for her monthly breakdowns and to ask herself why, oh, WHY did she marry Nick Cannon?!

Mary J. Blige can never do wrong. All class, all beauty, all powerful. Here's the new video for "I Am" from the DIVA.

Yeah a night with 50 and every girl is obsessively thinking about him... well, that's what he claims. Beware: don't go scamming on the ladies 50 because they'll come after you! Here's the new video for "Do You Think About Me" starring Vivica A. Fox as his leading lady.

Sometimes, I wonder. Drake's working on everyone else's album except is... or are all these video appearances and hook obligations part of his barter for a decent debut album? Drizzy better shock us like he promises! Here's the new video from Timbaland featuring Mr. Oh-So-Successful.

Something about Justin Timberlake makes everything magical. Here's the new joint from Jamie Foxx featuring the magic man JT. This one is definitely a winner!

She's BACK!! After nine years staying out of the spotlight, Sade hits us with her title track "Solider Of Love." She never lost it, people, NEVER!

A tad late on all these new tunes, but it's been a busy, busy week! Here's the remix to Trey Songz "Invented Sex" featuring the original sex[y] master Usher and Miss Keri Hilson. Enjoy!

What happens when you put 12 best friends in a house to live together? Things get real -- real big dance party orgies, that is. Hosted by the Young Money crew, their new video for "Bedrock" is the YM version of the Jersey Shore. They drink, smoke, harass their roommates and at any given time, there's an unknown woman chillin in your bathtub. Enjoy this guilty pleasure.

The laziness in the making of this remix video is so apparent, but I'm not even mad. The Shakira bedroom-choreography is so incredibly amazing that they just HAD to keep it in. Yay, to Cudi for doing his thing and not messing with Sharkira's spotlight.

Aight more from Lil Wayne. This one is a little odd... "Da Da Da" sounded like it had potential, until you hear Weezy use the phrase "funky monkey." Cool & Dre provided a cool beat and Lil Wayne forgot to go to town on it. Da, Da, Da, LE SIGH.

What in the eff, Lil Wayne? No idea what in the hell Weezy is saying on this one, but he took some time to rock out with the band Mayday. The session is awkward to watch, yet you can't peel your eyes away from Lil Wayne... Err, enjoy?

Woodies for everyone! Courtesy of MTVu, here's Clipse and Cam'Ron performing "Popular Demand" and "I'm Good" at this year's MTVu Woodie Awards. Big Daddy Rick Ross jumps on stage, too, for a little collegiate fun.

When it comes to gossip, Rihanna's no amateur. So it was fitting that Gossip Girl Blake Lively hosted Saturday Night Live while Rihanna performed "Russian Roulette" and "Hard" with Young Jeezy for the live show. Besides her on-point performances, RiRi digital short with Andy Samberg is a viral gem. Shoulda paid Kanye!

What up, A? What up, B? Fellas, fellas, fellas, you wanna kick it with these ladies, better put it in a love song! Sounds more like a kick-ass workout song not so much L-O-V-E. Good one, nonetheless. Enjoy!

Cash Money's got Drake working overtime with all these video appearances and hook duties... Oh wait, this is for the fam. Birdman gets a little help from his friends...even Tyga gets a little face time.

It's gonna a few spins before this new one from Lil Wayne is deemed acceptable. "I invite her then I light her up..." I don't think Weezy was smoking enough when he thought this one up. Pass him another blunt, people!

With the touch of Jay-Z, you shall be golden. Miss Alicia Keys performed "Empire State Of Mind 2," which makes a sweet lullaby, "Doesn't Mean Anything" and "No One" for the X Factor audience. Rihanna took the stage as well performing "Russian Roulette."

Most of us were still in food comas when this rolled out on Thursday night, but here it for your post-turkey enjoyment.

Well, this is an interesting leak from Timbo's Shock Value II. Chris Brown and Keri Hilson singing about being crazy in love, so much they are Maniacs. That explains A LOT.

We know it's lip-syncing and all, but Jay always manage to look so good it doesn't really matter. On the Hamburger Helper sponsored float, Jay Sean performed his hit single "Down."

Technically it's "new," but "Let It Bump Never Seen" sounds more like a mash-up. Pretty meh -- typical Wayne, too much Fabolous and not enough Eminem.

The Billie Holiday classic, "Strange Fruit" gets an update courtesy of Common, John Legend and production by Kanye West. Race relations in America has come so far from the days of lynching, but racism is still rampant. Solid message this Holiday Season: celebrate your life, your roots and don't give up the fight.

Praises due to Allah and Prada -- well we know what Kanye is thankful for this Thanksgiving. I, for one, am thankful for Kanye West's unruly behavior and the guarantee he provides when it comes to causing a scene! Enjoy

This Thanksgiving, remember to respect your elders! "You see a G/You better know the deal." New video from Snoop for "I Wanna Rock" and he lets all the kids show off, while he presides over the events like a good OG.

Blackstar reunion on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon! Performing "History" with the Questo on drums and the rest of the Roots gang helping out. Ahh good music -- refreshing! Happy Thanksgiving!

Never expected an anthem like "Empire State of Mind" to be topped, but the a second version from Alicia Keys brings it back home as a soulful Manhattan ballad. Let's here it for NEW YORK, the greatest place to survive.

Lady Rihanna still shedding the all-black everything performs "Wait Is Over" and "Russian Roulette" from her new album Rated R. Umbrella-ella-ella, Rihanna also rocked her fan favorite "Umbrella" for this early morning NYC crowd on Good Morning America. Wonder if it kinda sucks having to sing this song...

While Rihanna was across the way in Times Square performing for Good Morning America, Miss Alicia Keys took over the Today Show for her own little concert. Here's "Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart." Enjoy!"No One""Empire State of Mind" minus Jiggaman... smooth, sweet version

American Music Awards residuals are landing on Late Night stages, and here's one more from Timbaland, SoShy and Nelly on Conan. Beginning to wonder if Timbo just lets Nelly Furtado come along for the ride because he's a nice guy. Really SoShy could hold her own on "Morning After Dark" and Nelly doesn't need to tag along...

Ohhhh GaGa -- you are amazing. If last night's AMA performance wasn't enough heat for you, GaGa gives you another Frankstein-esque version of "Bad Romance" on Jay Leno show.Leno: What do you wear when you perform for the Queen?GaGa: Latex and fishnets.Leno: What's the worst rumor you've heard about yourself?GaGa: That I'm from Yonkers.

Techo-ballad, FUN! This new one from Kelis is actually pretty great. She's certainly got a heartbreaking story to tell going from a cappella to symphony. Dance along!

Dear Hussies and Hussies-In-Training, let's talk about Sext-ing and how it's a bad, bad, bad IDEA. A cute and funny PSA to the tune of Salt-N-Pepa's classic "Let's Talk About Sex." Remember be safe and don't go overboard with MMS. CHEERS!

Wait, 50! Did you hear that? "Men lie, women lie, but numbers Don't." - HOVA. Thanks for all the inspiration, Jay -- and for sticking it 50 Cent just one more time. ::Jigga Giggle::

Super producer Missy Elliot is back with a new track "Touch My Body." Typical clubbanger from Missy - all the lovers, players, hoochies unite!
