The week continues to roll on and we continue to hold down the new music fort at the same time everyday. Today you’ll find selections from artists as distinct as Gucci Mane and The Flaming Lips, but pretty much everything on the playlist is respectable. Hit the jump for songs from those guys as well as a few others. The MP3 streams and download links are waiting for you…

SONG: “My Own Worst Enemy”
ARTIST: Gucci Mane
DOWNLOAD: [LINK]
• Gucci addresses the ongoing conflict between him and Jeezy, but it’s less of a diss song and more of a glance at the details of the situation. Of course, you can download the track at the link above, but be sure to check out the exclusive Miss Info interview too.

SONG: “Bac Ya Boyz Down”
ARTIST: Freeway f/ Beanie Sigel & Jakk Frost
DOWNLOAD: [LINK]
• Beanie’s chances of collaborating with Hov in the future are slim, but other (former) Roc members aren’t off limits. Here the Broad Street Bully links with Free for a cut off the Best Of Both Beards mixtape.

SONG: “Watching The Planets”
ARTIST: The Flaming Lips f/ Karen O
DOWNLOAD: [LINK]
• We’ve been rocking with this track for a minute, but it’s everywhere now thanks to just-released, controversial music video. You can watch it here, but understand that it’s very NSFW and it’s not just girls running around naked either. We warned you.

SONG: “Center Of Attention”
ARTIST: Wale
DOWNLOAD: [LINK]
• Wale’s debut, Attention Deficit, dropped this week and it’ll be interesting to see if the positive response from the Twitterati translates to real sales. This iTunes bonus song offers some insightful commentary on our celebrity-driven culture and it doesn’t sound half-bad either.

SONG: “Dope Man”
ARTIST: Slum Village
DOWNLOAD: [LINK]
• Slum Village fans are in for a treat. The Villa Manifesto Digital EP and a full-length album of the same name are on the way. This is the first release from the set of projects.

10 years later, the New York-Philly alliance is finally over. After floundering in the wake of the Roc-A-Fella breakup, Beans finally put out a diss song directed at Jay-Z last night, along with an in-depth interview about his reasons. We can’t say we didn’t see it coming, but it’s still a sad day for old fans of the Roc. Follow us as we look back at the good days with The 10 Best Jay-Z/Beanie Sigel Collaborations…

#10:
Jay-Z f/ Beanie Sigel, The LOX and Sauce Money “Reservoir Dogs” (1998)

Hova’s young gunner from Philly first popped up on this Eric Sermon-produced posse cut from Vol. 2…Hard Knock Life. When we heard him rhyme “testicle” and “vestibule,” we knew Beans was onto something.

#9:
Memphis Bleek f/ Jay-Z & Beanie Sigel “Murda Murda” (2003)

This joint was originally a Jay-Z-only outtake from The Blueprint, but it always seemed a little weird that Beans wasn’t on it, since the chorus includes the line “South Philly muthafuckas kill at will!” Luckily they recorded an official version for Bleek’s third album with the Broad Street Bully.

#8:
Beanie Sigel f/ Jay-Z “It’s On” (2003)

This stand-out track from the second State Property album is a laid-back duet from Hov and Beans. Jay even spits the line, “Young Vito, voice of the young people/If my life a movie, then Sieg gon’ be the sequel.” Damn.

#7:
Jay-Z f/ Beanie Sigel & Memphis Bleek “Change The Game” (2000)

Hov’s fourth album The Dynasty: Roc La Familia prominently featured Beans on nine songs, including this West Coast-flavored hit that was produced by Rick Rock. Something about Beans on a crip-walk beat just works.

#6:
Jay-Z f/ Beanie Sigel “Ignorant Shit” (2007)

This Just Blaze-produced outtake from The Black Album popped up as an official version on Hov’s American Gangster concept album in 2007. With the exception of a forgettable album cut on Beanie’s The Solution, which dropped a month after American Gangster, this stands as their final collaboration.

#5:
Scarface f/ Jay-Z & Beanie Sigel “Guess Who’s Back” (2002)

There’s something magical that happens every time these three get on the same track, most famously on this hit collaboration from Scarface’s sole Def Jam album, The Fix. We’re still smellin’ crack on our clothes.

#4:
Jay-Z f/ Beanie Sigel “Where Have You Been?” (2000)

The emotional crux from The Dynasty features Jay and Beans rapping about their twisted relationships to their fathers. You thought Ghostface and The Game were the only rappers crazy enough to actually cry on tracks? Think again.

#3:
Freeway f/ Jay-Z & Beanie Sigel “What We Do” (2003)

This classic posse cut from Freeway’s debut Philadelphia Freeway features an amazing performance from both MC’s. Their chemistry is especially apparent in the way that they actually flow from one verse to the other. “B. Sieg in the third lane!” MAYNE.

#2:
Jay-Z f/ Beanie Sigel & Amil “Do It Again (Throw Your Hands Up)” (1999)

The lead single from Vol. 3…The Life & Times of S. Carter seemed to catch people a little off-guard when it came out, with its unusual beat that sampled a go-go song. But as the years have gone by, this stands as one of Hov’s most reliable club-bangers, aided greatly by Beans’ memorable verse: “Got bitches in the back bounce-in-to-Jig-ga-what. Got ya hands up and I ain’t even stick ya’ll up.” Just make sure you change the record before Amil comes on!

#1:
Jay-Z f/ Beanie Sigel & Scarface “This Can’t Be Life” (2000)

The original Jay/Beans/Face collabo from The Dynasty remains one of Jay-Z’s greatest songs ever. On the classic early Kanye beat, each MC shows their vulnerable side, telling autobiographical stories about loss and personal frustrations. “Don’t worry, if it was meant to be, it’ll be soon.”

The weekend is finally here. Even better, it’s Halloween weekend. Before you hit the streets in whatever wacky costume you scraped together this year, take a moment to update your playlists with all the new music that’s hit the ‘net in the past 24 hours. MP3 streams and download links wait after the jump…

SONG: “What You Talkin Bout (I Ain’t Ya Average Cat)”
ARTIST: Beanie Sigel
DOWNLOAD: [LINK]
• There’s no way you haven’t heard about Beans dissing his former boss, but here’s the song if you haven’t actually heard it. After you listen, check out our compilation of their best collabs and remember the good times.

SONG: “Wasted (Remix)”
ARTIST: Gucci Mane f/ Lil’ Wayne, Jadakiss & Birdman
DOWNLOAD: [LINK]
• It feels like this has been remixed a million times by now, but that’s what happens with hot records. This is the first one with a new verse from Gucci though.

SONG: “How Low Can You Go”
ARTIST: Ludacris & Shawnna
DOWNLOAD: [LINK]
• Here’s the first single from the duo’s Battle Of The Sexes album. It’s pretty dope, but how come Luda gets three verses and Shawnna gets half a hook? She usually snaps on these type of beats.

SONG: “Carry Out”
ARTIST: Timbaland f/ Justin Timberlake
DOWNLOAD: [LINK]
• To be fair, this is another leak from Shock Value 2, but you know Timbo is hardly ever on his own songs. It’s kind of disappointing that this is the best these two could come up with after all the hits they’ve made in the past. Oh well.

SONG: “Better Days”
ARTIST: Game
DOWNLOAD: [LINK]
• We posted Game’s street single yesterday, and his official single leaked shortly after that, but this random record that leaked after both is probably the best of the bunch.

Recording artists are constantly being judged for their fashion choices, but at no point is an outfit more important than when they’re going before a judge in court to face the music. For instance, the same baggy thug apparel that gives a rapper street cred makes them look like a disrespectful miscreant to a gavel banger.

Yesterday, when R&B singer Chris Brown appeared in Los Angeles Superior Court to be arraigned for the alleged assault of his pop star girlfriend Rihanna, he made a smart selection: tight fitting dress clothes topped off with a sweater. Note the black—it’s slimming, which makes him look too skinny and frail to whup on a woman. Well done, Chris. Of course, not everyone is so wise. Check out five artists whose court look was just plain criminal…

Moses Michael Leviy, a.k.a. Jamal “Shyne” Barrow
• Charged with: First-degree assault and reckless endangerment, a.k.a shooting the club up
• What he wore: Dapper suits with fitted baseball caps
• What it said: “I’m ready to start a New Era—in prison.”
• Verdict: Guilty. Sentenced to 10 years.

Michael Jackson
• Accused of: Child molestation
• What he wore: A suit with pajama pants.
• What it said: “Let’s get this over with. I have a slumber party to get to, and you know how kids hate it when you’re late.”
• Verdict: Not guilty. Extremely suspect, but not guilty.

Phil Spector
• Charged with: Murdering nightclub hostess and actress Lana Clarkson in his mansion
• What he wore: A series of crazy hairstyles and ill-advised suits
• What it said: “OK, even if I did it, just look at me—I’m clearly insane.”
• Verdict: Guilty of fashion crimes. All else is TBD.

Radric “Gucci Mane” Davis
• Charged with: Violating terms of his probation (failing to do 600 hours of community service and using alcohol and drugs) after an assault conviction
• What he wore: A “Gucci Mane” T-shirt
• What it said: “My ‘Gucci Mane’ suit is still at the tailors.”
• Verdict: Guilty. One year in jail, continued probation.

Dwight “Beanie Sigel” Grant
• Charged with: Attempted murder, aggravated assault and weapons offenses
• What he wore: A sharp suit and hat combo straight out of Goodfellas
• What it said: “As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster.”
• Verdict: Hung jury. Pause.
