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.

QUESTION: What is Melanie Fiona’s favorite rap album, according to her recent “Complex 7″ interview that ran on Complex.com?

Believe it or not, Lil Scrappy has been around for a while, but his years in the game have been met with a fair amount of drama. From being stabbed and hit with felony weapon and drug possession charges last year to the general label fuckery he dealt with between BME and G-Unit, his ride has been anything but smooth, but things are turning around. Now he’s signed to Ludacris’s Disturbing Tha Peace imprint with an album, Tha Grustle, on the way later this year. This is the rapper’s first single under the new partnership, and of course, it features the Ludameister himself. Scrappy’s career might be more stable these days, but does he have the hits to make all the shifting around worthwhile? Check out “Addicted To Money” above and decide for yourself.

#10: “Backyard BBQ” Kenny Segal f/ Aceyalone, Abstract Rude, Nocando, Busdriver, Dr. Oop
Leave it to the backpackers to make a song about an actual BBQ.

#9: “I’m A Thug” Trick Daddy
Trick Daddy has taught us a lot of things. One being a BBQ ain’t a BBQ unless there’s two or more girls at the pool. Silly us.

#8: “Country Grammar” Nelly
We would have loved to put the “Tip Drill” video on this list, but the grill was taken off set as it was taking up valuable ass-shaking space.

#7: “Thug Devotion” Mo Thugs
Who said thugs can’t let loose? They like to do all the things you like to do. They just do them with an ice grill and a heater nearby.

#6: “Slow Motion” Juvenile
Leave it to Juve to churn out a wholesome, feel good video for one of the best club songs of the past decade.

#5: “Fantastic Voyage” Coolio
We bet you $5 you’re going to hear this song at least once this weekend. If you don’t, please email: shitsandgiggles@complex.com

#4: “I Get Around” 2pac
For this Shock G assisted hit, Pac rocked with the simple formula: BBQ + Girls + Pool = Awesome.

#3: “Growing Pains” DTP f/ Scarface
There’s nothing like crew love. Back when Luda was fun to listen to and we actually thought the members of DTP would release good albums, they dropped this soulful summertime banger.

#2: “Summertime” DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince
Before he became Mr. Fourth of July and got jiggy, Will Smith created the quintessential summer anthem. (Jim Jones’ “Summer in Miami” notwithstanding, of course.)

#1: “Nothin’ But a G Thang” Dr. Dre f/ Snoop Doggy Dogg
Chronic and chicken go together like The Game and crying. A little sharkin’ here and there never hurt nobody, either.

After a yawn-inducing performance by Nina Sky, Jim Jones brought out Kid Cudi for “Day N' Night,” and his Dip Set crew performed a short set capped off by his current hit “Pop Champange”'minus Ron Browz, who later joined Busta Rhymes on stage for “A-Rab Money”. Although Ludacris went through his catalog of hits, he had to rely on Busta Rhymes to save his lackluster set, through a seizure-esque performance of “Scenario”.

After the Busta x 'Cris set, it seemed that the audio levels weren't the same, which meant that Young Jeezy and the headliner T.I. would have to perform their string of bangers at less than full strength. Regardless, the Snowman slang songs like “Put On,” “Bang,” “Trapstar,” and “My President” that rang off nicely. T.I.'s performance, which got overwhelming support from the trifey's in the crowd, was again plagued by shoddy audio. But the King Of The South went through hits both new and old like “Bring “Em Out”, “You Don't Know Me” and “What's Up, What's Haapnin'” and “Swagger Like Us,” which wasn't nearly as effective without the big three. All in all, the concert wasn't a total L, but if the audio team could’ve'pun intended'Got Their Shit Together, the Coliseum would've rocked harder than an must-win Islander playoff game.

• Stop bitching: Ludacris hit Cal State Long Beach for a concert this past weekend and was surprised at the low turnout of protesters. He goes on to explain why there’s nothing wrong with him having hos in different area codes, “I feel like even in the song ‘Ho,’ I kind of desexualize the word. I said men are ho’s also. So when people try to pinpoint or think when I say the word ‘ho’ or the word ‘bitches’ it’s always referring to women or trying to degrade women, it’s not about that. Hip Hop is a coded language, so it’s not for everybody to understand.”

• Musical misogyny?: Scientists ask whether Hip Hop makes men abusive assholes toward women. Conclusion: it does if you’re already an abusive asshole towards women, kinda. [via]

• Painful: The New York Times hit the Winter Fest 2008 Hip Hop concert. Despite T-Pain’s amazing ability to sell ring tones, he’s not such a great performer according to the Gray Lady. Snoop, Fabolous, Rick Ross, Fat Joe, Busta Rhymes, Juelz Santana and other also hit stage with the Dips’ Jim Jones making a surprise appearance.

• Acting up: Diddy, ahem, we mean Sean Combs stars in TV movie “A Raisin in the Sun” on ABC tonight. Break a leg!

The Ace of Spades was free-flowing as Jay-Z, Lebron James, and Jason Kidd packed the VIP section of New Orleans hot-spot Generation Hall Saturday night for a star-studded party. The night started off with an exclusive dinner where A-Listers like Gabrielle Union, Beyonce, Brandon Jacobs and Mark Cuban all attended. Once the dinner was done, serious bottle poppin' kicked off the “Two Kings”'a term to describe the duo of Jay-Z and Lebron’s after-party celebration. DJs Clark Kent and Mick Boogie spun bangers all night, as scantly clad model chicks kept people's breath fresh by handing out Wrigley's, the event's co-sponsor’s Doublemint gum. Check more flicks of what went down after the jump.
