Compared to delay-ridden past efforts, all activities surrounding the release of Til The Casket Drops seem to be rolling along smoothly. Last week, another song and artwork from the album was revealed. It’s just started, but this week is already looking like another good one for the Brothers Thornton with the brand new “Popular Demand (Popeyes)” video featuring Cam’ron here to kick things off. After what felt like a million behind-the-scenes features, it’s nice to have the final product. Watch it above.

Each day Complex scours the music blogs for 5 fresh songs that you should listen to in our 5 O’Clock Shuffle post. Instead of going crazy trying to keep up with your RSS feeds everyday, just head over to Complex.com to stay up-to-date on important leaks and releases.

We’re back from the long weekend with five more bangers. From SOD Money Gang to the chain gang or Sweden to Harlem, we got things covered. We know you don’t feel like hitting all the blogs tonight, so just keep reading, and start downloading from our Shuffle playlist….

SONG: “Whatever U Want”
ARTIST: Consequence f/ Kanye West & John Legend
DOWNLOAD: [LINK]
• Sure it’s a Consequence song, but Kanye owns it. This isn’t really that new of a song, but the music video just dropped and we wanted to put it out there for those that missed it the first time around. Solid offering from the G.O.O.D. Music trio for sure.

SONG: “I’m Ballin’”
ARTIST: Soulja Boy
DOWNLOAD: [LINK]
• Drake and company’s “Forever” might be the most talked record on LeBron’s More Than A Game soundtrack, but Soulja Boy holds his own with this banger. Plus, this song actually relates to basketball unlike its more popular counterpart.

SONG: “Cuffin’”
ARTIST: Cam’ron f/ Gucci Mane & Vado
DOWNLOAD: [LINK]
• Who else besides Killa could ostracize public hand holding between couples and turn it into an anthem? Well, maybe Gucci Mane, but he’s on this track too, so it’s a double win.

SONG: “Blinking Pigs”
ARTIST: Little Dragon
DOWNLOAD: [LINK]
• We covered this Swedish collective before, and we couldn’t help but feature another song from their Machine Dreams album. The pop and electro elements are there but we dig homegirl’s soulful voice more than anything. Don’t sleep on this band.

SONG: “Transform Ya”
ARTIST: Chris Brown f/ Lil’ Wayne & Swizz Beatz
DOWNLOAD: [LINK]
• CB’s latest has hit potential (no pun intended) but is it the type of hit that will make the nation and media forgive him? Ah, maybe not, but all the kids will be dressing like him this season, so that should count for something.

Whether it’s something hilarious a rapper said in a video, or a classic line from our favorite TV show, a majority of our time in the Complex office is wasted spent quoting our favorite lines and catchphrases. That’s why we’ve put together this little bundle of fucking awesomeness called The Complex Soundboard—yep, it’s a fully embeddable, interactive collection of the illest, funniest, and most memorable sound bites from a diverse group of celebrities that includes Bill O’Reilly, Bizzy Bone, Jim Jones…and Jim Jones…and Jim Jones. Crank the speakers, get your clicker-finger ready, and prepare to terrorize your cubicle-mates (or fuck up your school library). Soundboard burial!

Tune in to Complex.com every morning at 8 AM for your daily “Wake N’ Watch” video.

The numbers are in: Even with the Complex cosign, it turns out that Cam’ron’s album sold only 100 more copies than Jim Jones‘—which would be acceptable had the Capo not totally bricked himself. Damn, homies. In high school, you was the mans, homies! What the fuck happened to you?

We all know record sales don’t mean much anymore, but it’s still pretty clear that the Diplomats‘ reign is over, and that’s bad for hip-hop. The Dips’ output at their peak—Diplomatic Immunity, Purple Haze, Juelz‘ and Jones’ debuts and countless piff-tastic mixtapes—puts the crew up there with one of the best rap collectives of all time. Yeah, we said it. So how can we get the gang back on top? The first step is obvious: Get Cam, Jimmy and Juelz to reunite as a team. But then what? We’ve come up with 5 ways to bring Dipset back to dominance…

1. RECRUIT NEW MEMBERS.

Would anybody really miss 40 Cal or J.R. Writer? These days, the kids love Kid Cudi (a.k.a. 40 Cudi) and Drake (a.k.a. Drake Da God), so bring them in the fold—Hell Rell will strong-arm ‘em if necessary. (Shit, Jones already jumped on “Day and Night.”) As in sports, new rookie blood can add much-needed energy to the vets. Cudi and Drake are gonna have to get used to rockin’ doo-rags, though.

2. BRING MAX B BACK.

To that end, it’s time that Capo let bygones be bygones with Biggaveli. Let’s face it, Jones made some of his best music with Max riding shotgun. Plus Wavy Crockett has mad traction on the Internet nowadays. Worldstarhiphop.com would eat it up. Everybody wins. *Insert Max B laugh*

3. EMBRACE THE HIPSTERS.

If the so-called “streets” are frontin’, then the Dips should run a Fader route and lock down the freelance-graphic-design crowd. That means collabos with groups like Mastodon, production from Diplo and more shows in the Willy B. Ironic love is love nonetheless. Plus we miss running into white hipster girls that like Dipset. Like, “running into.” Literally.

4. START A NEW BEEF.

At its peak, Dipset would start shit with anybody, just for the fuck of it. Jay-Z, Nas, 50—nobody was safe. We think the Dips need to reclaim the beef throne (no homo) with a full-out attack on…Slaughterhouse 5. It may be a can’t-win situation lyrically, but you can guarantee that the S5 dudes will release 2,431 counter-dis records and webcam attacks in response. That alone should keep Dipset relevant for a while.

5. MAKE MORE MOVIES.

So they can make a sequel to Night at the Museum, but we can’t get “Killa Season 2″???? We need more shit like this in our lives. Yo Cam: If it comes down to it, we got videographers on Complex staff. Holla at us!

ALBUM: Crime Pays

SOUNDS LIKE: What a Cam album’s ‘posed to sound like: ignorant

FUN FACT: The Dipset reunion album has a new release date: Nevuary 4th.

WHY COMPLEX IS CO-SIGNING IT: ‘Cause it’s Killa, man! And man, did we miss Killa. Crime Pays sounds like Cam’s been in straight hibernation mode since 2006’s Killa Season, and that’s a good thing because we’re not trying to hear Cam on Auto-Tune or Cam collaborating with The Dream or Cam rapping about skinny jeans. This is just regular, run-of-the-mill Cam—straight unfiltered ignorance with more stupefyingly offensive quotables than ever. He’s the rap Larry David, for real! Even when the beats get nervous (Skitzo’s cool but he ain’t really 13-tracks(!) cool), every song is worth listening to just for that “Your moms buys hero(i)n/With no hands, I’m smackin’ her” moment. Everything we love about Cam is repped here, from silly (”Silky (No Homo)”) to awesome (”Cookin’ Up”) to gangsta (”Get It In Ohio) to the silly, awesome and gangsta (”Cookies N Apple Juice”). Seriously, we haven’t been this excited about an NYC rap album since…since…since…

Sometimes, though, the banality can get a bit much. Like, say, when you decide to tell your fans that you’re joining Jay Electronica in a “spiritual fast” that requires you to drink only “natural juices” for 48 hours. We’ll give Puff props for putting himself out there, but we realize that not all of you are following him on Twitter, so we decided to break down the colossally significant event for you*, our loyal readers…

iamdiddy ok diddy’s twiddies the fast is officially on lets go!!!

iamdiddy I know I’m not! Fuck a fast let’s go!!! LAST TRAIN TO PARIS COMING AS SOON AS I CAN STOP SHI**ING Y’ALL!!!!

Is Cam’ron Giles the rap Larry David? He might just be. This got us thinking about who else from the hip-hop world we would cast in Cam Your Enthusiasm (that’s what we’re calling it anyway). Check out our suggestions below…

CURB CHARACTER: Larry David
CAM CHARACTER: Cam’ron Giles
• Wikipedia describes Larry David’s character like this: “Self-centered, impatient, and difficult, Larry creates awkwardness and discomfort in social situations. His problems are often caused by his own neuroses and an obstinate faith in his own understanding of ethics and etiquette. At the same time, he usually has good intentions and often finds himself a victim of circumstance and of the sensitive, easily-offended natures of those he encounters.” Is that you Cam?

CURB CHARACTER: Jeff Greene
CAM CHARACTER: Damon Dash
• What would Larry do without his responsible manager Jeff? Probably a whole lot of nothing. Cam also needs a real businessman who understands his foibles on his side, and his old Roc-A-Fella boss Damon Dash would be the perfect man for the job. As an extra bonus, Dame could finally bring Killa Season to Broadway.

CURB CHARACTER: Cheryl David
CAM CHARACTER: Miss Info
• With all his neuroses, the only woman who can put up with Larry David is his always patient wife Cheryl. Cam doesn’t have many stable female relationships in his life, but one woman he can always talk to his hip-hop’s reigning gossip queen Miss Info.

CURB CHARACTER: Richard Lewis
CAM CHARACTER: Juelz Santana
• Recovering alcoholic Richard Lewis is one of Larry’s oldest friends, even if their relationship is rocky at times. Once Juelz kicks his alleged syrup sipping addiction, he could also reunite with Cam and enjoy some good clean livin’.

CURB CHARACTER: Susie Greene
CAM CHARACTER: Pimpin’ Curly
• Larry’s arch nemesis is Jeff Greene’s shit-talking wife Susie, who refuses to accommodate his crazy behavior. Whenever Cam starts acting 7:30, 50 Cent’s wig-wearing pimp alter-ego can come on screen and take him down a few pegs.

CURB CHARACTER: Ted Danson
CAM CHARACTER: Jim Jones
• Even though they seem to be close friends, Cheers actor Ted Danson always manages to get under Larry’s skin. Whether it’s his wife, his “yenta” ways or his self-aggrandizing philanthropy, something about Ted’s too-perfect life bothers Larry. Since Cam’ron’s disappearance, Jim Jones has become the swag-splashing star of the Dipset crew. Their tentative friendship would make for great TV.

CURB CHARACTER: The Blacks
CAM CHARACTER: The Rosenthals
• After Hurricane Katrina, Larry and Cheryl let a homeless family of New Orleans refugees named “The Blacks” move into their house. Once the recession finally hits New York’s hip-hop sketch comedy market, Eric and Jeff Rosenthal of The Real might be wandering the streets of Harlem looking for someone to take them in. Luckily, the seeds of their relationship have already been planted.

Last night, a radio rip of a new Cam song called “My Aura” leaked. It’s unclear how new the track is, but it definitely has a similar energy to some of his manic 2005 material (”Get Em Daddy,” “Girls, Cash, Cars”). The name of his next album has changed so many times'from Shade of Black to Courtesy Curtis to Crime Pays'that we can’t call it. But if this is a taste Cam’s future, we’re not mad. Listen to “My Aura” below.
