			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/shuffle_sept14.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/shuffle_sept14.jpg" alt="shuffle_sept14" title="shuffle_sept14" width="625" height="250" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-60445" /></a><br />
<font size="1"><em>Left To Right: Jim Jones, Kelis, Birdman, Von Haze, French Montana</em></font></p>
<p><strong><em>Each day Complex scours the music blogs for 5 fresh songs that you should listen to in our <strong><em>5 O&#8217;Clock Shuffle</em></strong> 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. </em></strong></p>
<p>Just like that, it&#8217;s the top of the week again. Fortunately for you, we have five new jams to make Monday go by quicker. Two of rap&#8217;s hottest emcees rock out, Nas&#8217; ex-wife comes back strong, and more. Listen to and download today&#8217;s killer tunes after the jump&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-60405"></span><br />
<blockquote><br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;Hoochie Coo&#8221;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> The Black Keys f/ Jim Jones and Mos Def<br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="http://nahright.com/news/2009/09/14/the-black-keys-feat-mos-def-jim-jones-hoochie-coo/" target="_blank">LINK</a>]<br />
• Technically a Black Keys track, but Capo goes in on the verses and Mos handles the hook. You can find this on Dame Dash&#8217;s upcoming <em>Blak Roc</em> compilation, and unlike most ambitious rap/rock collabs, it doesn&#8217;t suck.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>
<br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;No Security&#8221;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> Crookers f/ Kelis<br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="http://pinboardblog.com/2009/09/13/kelis-feat-crookers-no-security-new-trackradio-rip/" target="_blank">LINK</a>]<br />
• Her recent freedom from the clutches of Nasir must be serving as creative inspiration because Kelis hasn&#8217;t made anything this dope in years. The full-quality version of this dubstep banger isn&#8217;t even out yet and the Internet is already going nuts over the track.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>
<br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;Always Strapped (Nike Sport Remix)&#8221;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> Birdman f/ Lil&#8217; Wayne and Adrian Peterson<br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="http://2dopeboyz.okayplayer.com/2009/09/14/adrian-peterson-always-strapped-nike-talk-remix/" target="_blank">LINK</a>]<br />
• Yeah, you&#8217;ve already heard this song, but if you think Adrian Peterson&#8217;s voice will get you a little more pumped up for that next workout, go ahead and download (after pausing yourself). Look out for another Nike Sport remix of Yung LA&#8217;s &#8220;Ain&#8217;t I&#8221; soon.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>
<br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;Sooner Or Later&#8221;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> Von Haze<br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="http://pitchfork.com/forkcast/13370-sooner-or-later/" target="_blank">LINK</a>]<br />
• If you need to zone out for seven-and-a-half minutes, here&#8217;s your song. Brooding synth and airy vocals are almost a requirement for this type of record, and it works well.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>
<br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;Playin&#8217; In The Wind&#8221;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> French Montana<br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="http://nahright.com/news/2009/09/14/french-montana-playin-in-the-wind/" target="_blank">LINK</a>]<br />
• After signing with Akon, Frenchie is already showing signs of improvement with this hot record. We shouldn&#8217;t be surprised though. Somebody has to carry the Wave movement&#8217;s flag now that <a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/2009/09/04/well-miss-you-max-b-5-of-biggavelis-waviest-moments/">Max B is gone</a>. </p></blockquote>

		<description><![CDATA[Now that she's back on the market, we analyze how dateable Nasir's ex-to-be really is.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/kelis_opener.jpg"><img src="http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/kelis_opener.jpg" alt="kelis_opener" title="kelis_opener" width="625" height="469" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-30380" /></a><br />
After four years of what seemed to be matrimonial bliss, <strong>Nas</strong> and his seven month pregnant wife <strong>Kelis</strong> are calling it quits. Yup, the coolest couple since <strong>Treach</strong> and <strong>Pepa</strong> is no more. There have been rumors of Nas being overly aggressive and stepping out on her, but we&#8217;re not sure—we&#8217;ll leave the rumor mongering to the experts. </p>
<p>But now that Kelis is back on the market, it&#8217;s time for us to assess her viability as a wifey, or a trifey. So you know the deal, we present the evidence, you be the judge. Is the former Mrs. Jones worth putting a ring on, or should you get your Dr. Knockboot on and trife Ms. Bossy out? Read on for the evidence and to cast your vote&#8230;<br />
<span id="more-30379"></span></p>

<strong><font color="red">WIFEY: She&#8217;s super supportive.</font></strong><br />
• We&#8217;re not sure what their wedding vows consisted of, but we&#8217;d bet our coveted &#8220;Illmatic&#8221; promotional tee that it didn&#8217;t include making a fool of herself for the benefit of her hubby&#8217;s career. But, in the face of one of the most asinine marketing campaigns in rap history, she sucked it up, squeezed into some gold skin tight jeans and strutted down the red carpet in a jacket with the word &#8220;Nigger&#8221; on the back, all for her beau. Call us crazy, but that&#8217;s love. We didn&#8217;t see Beyonce rockin&#8217; a &#8220;Kingdom Come&#8221; t-shirt. </p>

<strong><font color="red">TRIFEY: Her favorite number is 730</font></strong><br />
• If her first single &#8220;Caught Out There,&#8221; where she screams &#8220;I hate you so much right now!&#8221; at the top of her lungs wasn&#8217;t indication enough that home girl is a little off her bedazzled rocking chair, she was arrested in March of 2007 for attempting to attack two cops while they were working undercover as prostitutes. We hate cops and as much as the next person, but that kind of spontaneity can&#8217;t be good for the long haul. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It would&#39;ve been nice if Nas would&#39;ve released his long awaited new record, <i>Hip Hop Is Dead</i>, to coincide with his birthday party Wednesday night in NYC at Canal Room. But with the drop date postponed til December at the earliest, wifey Kelis pulled out all the stops for Mr. Jones and threw him a surprise bash, with DJ Goldfinger on the decks and an assortment of celebrity guests, not to mention Playboy bunnies popping out of a birthday cake. <i>Complex</i> managed to put down the Henn-dog for a few minutes and snap some flix. Happy b-day, Nasir.</p>

The cake was delicious. We mean the real one with the candles. </p>

<p>Can matrimony curdle the milkshake that brought all the boys to the yard? Thankfully, Kelis&#39;s sassy sexual confidence is as sweet as ever on her fourth album. (&#8221;I don&#39;t just like you, /I like you like you,&#8221; she sings on &#8220;Like You.&#8221; &#8220;Can we come together? You can fluff my feathers.&#8221;) Even with a ring on her finger, the 26-year-old Harlem-born chanteuse is equal parts domination fantasy boss bitch (&#8221;Bossy&#8221;), playful sexual seductress (&#8221;What&#39;s That Right There&#8221;), devoted lover (&#8221;Til&#39; The the Wheels Fall Off&#8221;), and humble, introspective entertainer (&#8221;Lil Star&#8221;). Producers such as Will.I.Am of The Black Eyed Peas, Cee-Lo, and Raphael Saadiq support the sultriness of Kelis&#39;s deep, raspy vocals and sincere lyrics with tracks that range from raunchy buzzing synth to funk and rock guitar-driven soul. The boys in the yard may be disappointed that Kelis got wifed up, but at least they can still throw on her CD, close their eyes, and fantasize about having Kelis for dessert.</p>
