Left To Right (clockwise): Snoop Dogg, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Kevin Rudolf, Devin The Dude, Ludacris
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.
It was another typical day on the blogs. Nothing too crazy leaked, but we ran across a few joints that are definitely worth checking out. Snoop got the South to represent on another “I Wanna Rock” remix and Ludacris pulled Lil’ Kim out of oblivion for a guest verse on his latest record. Those songs and more after the jump…

You’ve heard the news by now: Slate has found that rapper Roxanne Shante was not nearly the business-savvy teen that she bragged about being–and that rather than holding her label accountable for her college costs as she went on to get her doctorate degree, she actually didn’t ever get a degree at all, let alone make her label pay for it.
But more on that later! Hip-hop (and R&B) is as full of self-mythologizing bluster as the next genre (you ain’t no killa, Kenny Chesney!), but sometimes we’re amazed at what people try to get away with..which is why we rounded up the biggest fibbers in the biznass. Dear bad liars: try to stay away from polygraphs in the future…

With Notorious out on DVD today, you know we had to holla at the number one (and, uh, TWOs) star of the movie. Sure, Gravy did his thing and all, but pause buttons were made for Naturi Naughton. Screw a bootleg—now we can finally analyze her memorable scenes in HD!
Seriously, though: The former 3LW member has already overcome plenty of adversity, from an unceremonious group breakup to harsh words from Lil Kim about her Notorious portrayal. With a starring role in the upcoming Fame remake (out in September), Naturi is ready to leave all the controversy behind. Still, when the lovely Ms. Naughton showed up at Complex last week (entourage-free, mind you), we had to get our Dr. Phil on and allow her to vent a little on the ups and downs of her career thus far. In this edition of YouTubin’ with the Stars, Naturi discusses her breakup with 3LW, her new movie role and why she’s not mad at Lil’ Kim…

“Yo, is that Siegfried and Roy???”
Tonight marks the return of Dancing With The Stars (8 p.m., ABC) the show loved by all of America'except you, us and pretty much everybody we know. Yeah, the show is a little lame, but we’ll be keeping closer tabs this season, as Lil’ Kim is putting on her dancing shoes. The ex-GF of B.I.G. (R.I.P., 12 years today) joins randoms like Steve-O, LT and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak(!) as contestants. Nice. We might even catch an episode this season.
In honor of Kim’s debut tonight, we’re giving Brooklyn’s baddest bitch the Wifey or Trifey treatment. Now the answer may seem obvious upon first glance, but perhaps our evidence may sway you. So, is Lil’ Kim a lockdown or a bustdown? Keep reading to see the evidence and cast your vote!

Actress Naturi Naughton’s breasts are about to be BIG. Without question, they are the stars of Notorious, the new Biggie biopic kicking in theater doors Friday (click here for Complex’s preview). Naughton, who used to be a member of the girl pop group 3LW, plays Big’s jumpoff-turned-rapper Lil’ Kim, and in a scene reminiscent of the famous sex skit on Ready To Die, she rides out on the big dude displaying the kind of talent that Kim had to have implanted.
Yes, Naughton’s Nickelodeon days are over. She’s all grown up and pushed up, and in honor of her twos coming out to play, Complex looks back with fond memories of her mammaries. Check her 5 breast moments below…

The Complex massive was lucky enough to get an invite to an early screening of the upcoming Biggie Smalls biopic, Notorious, which hits theaters January 19. From the moment we heard about the movie, we had our reservations'the film had the potential to be hilariously awful. Well, we watched it last night, and…it’s not hilariously awful. In fact, it’s actually pretty good.
But what makes Notorious so watchable? Let us count down the reasons why…

Ahh, Halloween. Candy, candy asses, and…BOO!!! is that Tara Reid’s stomach!!!?!?
