<font size="1"><em>Left To Right: Kanye West, Beanie Sigel &#038; 50 Cent, Rihanna, Drake, Lady Gaga &#038; Beyonce</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>The weekend is finally here and the last Shuffle playlist of the week happens to be the most star-studded as well. No upcoming or unknown artists this time. Strictly superstars. We have new music from <strong>Kanye</strong>, <strong>50</strong>, <strong>Rihanna</strong>, <strong>Drake</strong>, <strong>GaGa</strong>, <em>and</em> <strong>Beyonce</strong>. There&#8217;s no way that there&#8217;s not something on the list you&#8217;re interested in checking out. Start listening after the jump&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-73108"></span><br />
<blockquote><br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;I&#8217;m So Appalled&#8221;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> Kanye West<br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="http://2dopeboyz.okayplayer.com/2009/11/12/kanye-west-im-so-appalled-tags/" target="_blank">LINK</a>]<br />
• Here&#8217;s a new verse from &#8216;Ye that&#8217;s slated to appear on Diddy&#8217;s <em>Last Train To Paris</em> album. Hot verse but this tagged up version is the only one available for now.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;I Go Off&#8221;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> Beanie Sigel f/ 50 Cent<br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="http://www.missinfo.tv/index.php/new-music-beanie-sigel-feat-50-cent-i-go-off-cdq-and-more/" target="_blank">LINK</a>]<br />
• If this is Sigel&#8217;s audition for G-Unit then consider him part of the team. Great song and 50&#8217;s shit talking is entertaining as usual, but the Jay baiting feels a little forced.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;Rockstar 101&#8243;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> Rihanna<br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="http://www.youheardthatnew.com/2009/11/13/rihanna-x-slash-rockstar-101/" target="_blank">LINK</a>]<br />
• RiRi is really running with the bad girl image and we&#8217;re not the least bit mad at it. She even recruits Guns N&#8217; Roses guitarist, Slash, on this <em>Rated R</em> track to give the rockstar theme a little more authenticity.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;Scriptures&#8221;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> Drake<br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="http://nahright.com/news/2009/11/12/4-new-drake-songs/" target="_blank">LINK</a>]<br />
• The <em>Heartbreak Drake</em> mixtape series is always good for exclusive Drizzy material. Several new songs leaked last night, but this probably the best of the bunch.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;Telephone&#8221;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> Lady GaGa f/ Beyonce<br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="http://www.youheardthatnew.com/2009/11/12/lady-gaga-x-beyonce-telephone-prod-darkchild/" target="_blank">LINK</a>]<br />
• It was inevitable that two of pop music&#8217;s biggest stars would work together. The collab lives up to expectations for the most part too. This will be the second single off GaGa&#8217;s <em>The Fame Monster</em>.</p></blockquote>

<font size="1"><em>Left To Right: Black Rob, Rihanna, SA-RA, Huey, Gift of Gab</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>Today&#8217;s playlist is, dare we say, odd. Black Rob is out of jail and making music again. Another Rihanna song leaked. Huey and Lil&#8217; Wayne are trying to keep auto-tune alive. Then there&#8217;s Gift of Gab&#8217;s collab with a couple more notable backpack rappers. If anything, the diversity of today&#8217;s Shuffle means there&#8217;s <em>something</em> here you wanna listen to. Get started after the jump&#8230; </p>
<p><span id="more-70730"></span><br />
<blockquote><br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;Three Course Meal&#8221;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> Black Rob<br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="http://www.xclusiveszone.net/2009/11/black-rob-three-course-meal.html" target="_blank">LINK</a>]<br />
• Whoa. Black Rob is out of prison and trying to rap again. It&#8217;s unlikely that he&#8217;ll catch on like he did 10 years ago, but we&#8217;re not mad at him for trying.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;Hard&#8221;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> Rihanna f/ <a href="http://www.complex.com/CELEBRITIES/Cover-Story/Young-Jeezy">Young Jeezy</a><br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="http://www.missinfo.tv/index.php/new-music-rihanna-feat-young-jeezy-hard-cdq/" target="_blank">LINK</a>]<br />
• This leaked right after we posted her <a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/2009/11/02/5-oclock-shuffle-wale-rihanna-yeasayer-raekwon-more/">second single</a> yesterday. Probably the best leak from <em>Rated R</em> so far.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;Love Czars II&#8221;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> SA-RA f/ Jay Electronica &#038; Ta’Raach<br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="http://nahright.com/news/2009/11/03/sa-ra-feat-jay-electronica-taraach-love-czars-ii/" target="_blank">LINK</a>]<br />
• You know that <a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/2009/03/18/taz-arnold-talks-tights-childhood-gangs-style-philosophy/">Taz Arnold</a> guy you&#8217;ve seen hanging out with Kanye? When he&#8217;s not wearing leopard tights, he makes music as part of SA-RA. Here&#8217;s a remix for one of the better joints on their last album.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;Another Planet&#8221;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> Huey f/ Lil&#8217; Wayne<br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="TK">LINK</a>]<br />
• Ask much as heads yearn for more progressive hip-hop, sometimes people just wanna hear ignorant, materialistic anthems. This fits the bill nicely.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;Dreamin&#8221;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> Gift of Gab f/ Del the Funky Homosapien &#038; Brother Ali<br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="http://giftstribution.com/escape2marsdownload.html" target="_blank">LINK</a>]<br />
• Here&#8217;s a highlight from the <em>Escape 2 Mars</em> album dropping today. The line-up alone is enough to make backpackers everywhere rejoice.</p></blockquote>

<font size="1"><em>Left To Right: Wale, Lil&#8217; Wayne, Rihanna, Yeasayer, Raekwon</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>If you haven&#8217;t noticed, the music blogs were slow today, but we&#8217;ve pulled together five noteworthy records from the weekend that you probably missed out on while you were trick-or-treating. There&#8217;s an album cut from Wale, Rihanna&#8217;s second single, a bonus track from Wayne&#8217;s new mixtape, and more to look forward to. Hit the jump to start listening&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-70462"></span><br />
<blockquote><br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;90210&#8243;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> Wale<br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="http://allthetimerap.blogspot.com/2009/10/new-music-wale-90210-x-tv-in-radio-feat.html" target="_blank">LINK</a>]<br />
• Poor Wale. His debut album leaked over the weekend. The good news is that he&#8217;s proven himself as more than a prematurely hyped rapper because there are some great songs on the LP. This Mark Ronson-produced cautionary tale for fame-obsessed young women is one of them.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;Single&#8221;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> Lil&#8217; Wayne<br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="http://nahright.com/news/2009/10/31/lil-wayne-no-ceilings-mixtape-the-official-version-w-more-songs/" target="_blank">LINK</a>]<br />
• For those of you who downloaded the leaked <em>No Ceilings</em> and passed on the official version, you&#8217;re not missing out on anything, except for this low key gem. Add it to your copy of the tape if you haven&#8217;t already.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;Wait Your Turn&#8221;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> Rihanna<br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="http://www.youheardthatnew.com/2009/10/31/rihanna-wait-your-turn-tags/" target="_blank">LINK</a>]<br />
• We weren&#8217;t really feeling RiRi&#8217;s <a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/2009/10/20/5-oclock-shuffle-young-jeezy-a-trak-rihanna-soulja-boy-more/">first single</a>, but as we predicted, the second record off <em>Rated R</em> is way nicer.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;Ambling Alp&#8221;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> Yeasayer<br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="http://prettymuchamazing.com/mp3/yeasayer-ambling-alp" target="_blank">LINK</a>]<br />
• Rap leaks always outpace those of other genres, so it&#8217;s essential to grab the dope alternative joints when they come around. This 80s-influenced jam from Brooklyn boys Yeasayer will help diversify your playlists.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;Stay Off The Fuckin&#8217; Flowers&#8221;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> Blakroc f/ Raekwon<br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="http://nahright.com/news/2009/11/01/blakroc-feat-raekwon-stay-off-the-fuckin-flowers/" target="_blank">LINK</a>]<br />
• We introduced you to Dame Dash and The Black Keys&#8217; <a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/2009/09/21/wake-n-watch-dame-dash-presents-the-blak-roc-project/">rock-infused side project</a> a while ago. The latest track to leak from the album is on point, just like the last one. </p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/shuffle_oct20.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/shuffle_oct20.jpg" alt="shuffle_oct20" title="shuffle_oct20" width="625" height="250" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-67921" /></a><br />
<font size="1"><em>Left To Right: Young Jeezy, A-Trak, Rihanna, Soulja Boy, Lupe Fiasco</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>You&#8217;re probably aware that today was a big day for new music. If you haven&#8217;t heard the new releases from Jeezy and Rihanna, we have both of those on deck. Of course, many of you heard those songs the moment they hit the Internet, but we still have some download-worthy cuts from A-Trak, Soulja Boy, and Lupe that you may have overlooked. Ready to start listening? The playlist begins after the jump&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-67863"></span><br />
<blockquote><br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;Trap Or Die 2&#8243;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> Young Jeezy<br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="http://nahright.com/news/2009/10/20/young-jeezy-trap-or-die-2/" target="_blank">LINK</a>]<br />
• The message of the latest <em>Thug Motivation 103</em> leak is clear: trappin&#8217; ain&#8217;t dead. These bass-heavy three minutes are evidence that Jeezy isn&#8217;t lying to us either. Very serious record here. We put the man on our <a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/2009/09/22/young-jeezy-x-espo-cover-our-october-november-issue-2-of-3/">cover</a> for a reason.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>
<br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;Heads Will Roll (A-Trak Club Edit)&#8221;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> Yeah Yeah Yeahs<br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="http://www.discobelle.net/2009/10/19/heads-will-roll/" target="_blank">LINK</a>]<br />
• Kanye&#8217;s former DJ might be busy molding the career of his <a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/2009/10/12/interview-donnis-a-trak-and-nick-catchdubs-talk-fools-gold-deal/">promising new artist</a>, but he&#8217;s still killing his own projects too. Here he turns the YYY&#8217;s already awesome single into a club-ready anthem. Easily one of the best remixes of the year.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>
<br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;Russian Roulette&#8221;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> Rihanna<br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="http://www.youheardthatnew.com/2009/10/20/rihanna-russian-roulette/" target="_blank">LINK</a>]<br />
• We&#8217;re not afraid to rock with a Rihanna song from time to time, but her long-awaited comeback record probably won&#8217;t be getting too much play around our way. Judging from the snippet on <a href="http://rihannanow.com/" target="_blank">her website</a>, &#8220;The Wait Is Ova&#8221; sounds way iller. We&#8217;ll wait on that one.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>
<br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;So Cocky Wit It&#8221;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> Soulja Boy<br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="http://hiphopislyfe.blogspot.com/2009/10/soulja-boy-im-so-cocky-wit-it.html" target="_blank">LINK</a>]<br />
• Soulja just unleashed this banger via Twitter. People love to hate on the kid, but if you&#8217;re into Gucci Mane and similar-sounding Southern rappers, you&#8217;ll like his new stuff. If you&#8217;re not, keep it moving.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>
<br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;All Sabotage&#8221;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> Japanese Cartoon<br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="http://2dopeboyz.okayplayer.com/2009/10/18/japanese-cartoon-all-sabotage/" target="_blank">LINK</a>]<br />
• Lupe continues to make music with his rock side project. We&#8217;ve heard better from the band, but this isn&#8217;t bad at all. Of course, Lupe would want you to believe that this is some guy named Percival Fats singing, but we know better.</p></blockquote>

It&#8217;s <strong><a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/tag/fetish-friday/">Fetish Friday</a></strong> here at Complex and we have the perfect fixation for you before summer&#8217;s officially over.

		<description><![CDATA[Find out how to get big and little brother's all-black looks in the latest video from Blueprint 3 with Rihanna.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/leadimage2.jpg" alt="leadimage2" title="leadimage2" width="625" height="420" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-55399" /><br />
When we learned three of the biggest, best dressed pop stars of our generation were all going to appear in a video together, we excepted some glamorous, big money shit. Wouldn&#8217;t you? Instead, the <strong>Anthony Mandler</strong> helmed video for<strong> Jay-Z&#8217;s</strong> second <em><strong>Blueprint 3</strong></em> single, <strong>&#8220;Run This Town&#8221;</strong> has the trio in, what appears to be, a war torn village overrun by rebels (watch it below). There&#8217;s also no electricity, just tiki torches and lots and lots of leather. Cool&#8230;? </p>
<p>However, we&#8217;re guessing Jay had a treatment like this in his mind from the get-go, &#8217;cause guess what color everyone in the video is wearing? Yup. <a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/2009/07/28/how-to-get-jay-zs-all-black-everything-look/">All black everything</a>! And despite their locale being completely run down, Jay-Z, Kanye and Rihanna look like they just hit the mall and threw a couple &#8216;fits in the bag. Hov and Ye&#8217;s looks may not be for everyone, but we&#8217;ve all had those nights when we wanna feel completely murdered out (black on black on black). If you&#8217;re feeling a little rough n&#8217; rugged and think you can pull it off, keep reading to see how to recreate both looks&#8230; </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/leadpic.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/leadpic.jpg" alt="leadpic" title="leadpic" width="625" height="350" class="alignright size-full wp-image-54119" /></a><br />
<font size="1"><em>Katy Perry, Rihanna, Solange, and Amanda Blank show off their nails.</em></font></p>
<p>Welcome to the first edition of our new column, <strong>Fetish Friday</strong>, where we&#8217;ll be bringing you the freakiest female fixations you have but are too embarrassed to talk about. (Within the realms of a good taste, mind you—lovers of morbidly obese albino midgets, click <em>thataway</em>.) Complex is not here to judge you, fam—nope, we&#8217;re here to exploit your fetishes like Diddy does his artists.</p>
<p>Today, we&#8217;re appreciating sexy women with sexy nails. Not just any manicured hand will do—we&#8217;re talking about nails with either scandalous length, crazy colors, or impressive nail art. Remember <a href="http://www.sophyrobson.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/picture-191.png" target="_blank">Coko from SWV</a>? How about the O.G. Puerto Rican hottie, <a href="http://melodyplant.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/ivy-queen.jpg" target="_blank">Ivy Queen</a>? OK fine, those are a little extreme, but here&#8217;s our round-up of <strong>the 10 female celebrities with the sexiest nails</strong>&#8230;.</p>
<p><span id="more-54116"></span><a href="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/evepic.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/evepic.jpg" alt="evepic" title="evepic" width="625" height="451" class="alignright size-full wp-image-54130" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p><strong><SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00"><font color="black">EVE</font></SPAN></strong><br />
•  During the 2008 Presidential Campaign, Eve showed support for Obama by putting his face as nail art on her hands. Now <em>that&#8217;s</em> patriotic.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/brookepic.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/brookepic.jpg" alt="brookepic" title="brookepic" width="625" height="369" class="alignright size-full wp-image-54131" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p><strong><SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00"><font color="black">BROOKE HOGAN</font></SPAN></strong><br />
•  We appreciate Brooke trying to spruce up other parts of her body (she <em>is</em> on our <a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/2009/07/21/10-butter-face-women-wed-probably-still-bag/">Butterface list</a> afterall). We find her long red talons kinda sexy. She&#8217;s on speed dial for when we need our back scratched.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/gagapic.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/gagapic.jpg" alt="gagapic" title="gagapic" width="625" height="266" class="alignright size-full wp-image-54135" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p><strong><SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00"><font color="black">LADY GAGA</font></SPAN></strong><br />
•  She was also on our Butterface list (and the <a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/2009/06/02/what-was-lady-gagas-most-absurd-look/">subject</a> of <a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/2009/08/07/dude-looks-like-a-lady-7-women-rumored-to-be-hermaphrodites/">many</a> Complex posts), but at least she has her nail game proper. Gaga&#8217;s nails in the &#8220;Poker Face&#8221; music video were embellished to match playing cards. Dope.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/keripic.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/keripic.jpg" alt="keripic" title="keripic" width="625" height="368" class="alignright size-full wp-image-54136" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p><strong><SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00"><font color="black">KERI HILSON</font></SPAN></strong><br />
•  Our latest <a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/2009/08/04/keri-hilson-covers-our-august-september-style-design-issue/">cover girl</a> rocks the freshest neon polish in our Aug/Sept issue, but we first caught her pro-nails in her <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKjSmUIP0HE" target="_blank">&#8220;Turnin&#8217; Me On&#8221;</a> music video rockin&#8217; a mean houndstooth print.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/fergiepic.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/fergiepic.jpg" alt="fergiepic" title="fergiepic" width="625" height="468" class="alignright size-full wp-image-54137" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p><strong><SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00"><font color="black">FERGIE</font></SPAN></strong><br />
•  Do you see a pattern here? Another butterface with sexy nails. Maybe the outrageous nail art is to make us center our attention on anything but the face. It&#8217;s working!</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/solangepic.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/solangepic.jpg" alt="solangepic" title="solangepic" width="625" height="415" class="alignright size-full wp-image-54139" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p><strong><SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00"><font color="black">SOLANGE KNOWLES</font></SPAN></strong><br />
•  Solange went to the unrivaled territory of nail art—Japan—to get her nails done up like the UK flag. She posted the pics on <a href="http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.viewcustom&#038;friendId=38001451&#038;blogId=448243256&#038;swapped=true" target="_blank">her MySpace</a> and the response from her fans was nothing but love.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/rihanna-pic.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/rihanna-pic.jpg" alt="rihanna-pic" title="rihanna-pic" width="625" height="357" class="alignright size-full wp-image-54141" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p><strong><SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00"><font color="black">RIHANNA</font></SPAN></strong><br />
•  Stylish Rihanna is always thinking of the next <a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/2009/07/07/a-history-of-pasties-in-pop-culture/">odd trend</a>, but we&#8217;re not hating on her nail game. Smiley faces and bright colors only make hot girls stand out more than usual.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/katyperrypic.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/katyperrypic.jpg" alt="katyperrypic" title="katyperrypic" width="625" height="274" class="alignright size-full wp-image-54143" /></a></p>

While you were off getting drunk and shooting bottle rockets at your nephew this past weekend, <strong><a href="http://www.complex.com/GIRLS/Galleries/Rihanna-Gallery">Rihanna</a></strong> was seen celebrating <strong>July 4th</strong> in <strong>Las Vegas</strong> in what we call very appropriate gear. Instead of wearing a normal shirt under her blazer, she was sporting two silver-sequined, star-shaped pasties, those lovely little areolae-covering attachments that allow burlesque dancers to look down on strippers. </p>
<p>How patriotic! In honor of Rihanna&#8217;s outfit, we&#8217;ve gathered the best pasty moments in pop culture, and no, we&#8217;re not talking about your pale ass. If a nipple sticker counts as decent clothing, then we hope hot women everywhere pick up the trend. Check out the <strong>Super Twosday</strong> approved moments below&#8230;</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The upcoming Harlem MC has been going through it lately. Take a look back at his most notable L's. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/charles-lead.jpg"><img src="http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/charles-lead.jpg" alt="charles-lead" title="charles-lead" width="625" height="475" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-37257" /></a><br />
Around this time last year <strong><a href="http://www.complex.com/STYLE/Style-Features/Leaders-Of-The-New-Cool/CLOSE-UP-LOTNC?pc=2">Charles Hamilton</a></strong> was a relatively unknown Harlem MC that became one of the most talked about upcoming hip-hop acts in a matter of weeks. Blogs were showing love and early mixtapes signaled promise. Hell, the first time we saw this guy spit was in a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6gRiwEUQNM" target="_blank">cipher</a> with <strong>Kanye West</strong> and <strong>The Game</strong>. Not a bad first impression. But what a difference a year makes.</p>
<p>It’s not like we think the Sonic-obsessed rapper&#8217;s music has gotten wack (it&#8217;s still pretty consistently dope), but even his diehard fans would be hard-pressed to overlook this guy’s bizarre career missteps over the past 12 months. The latest Charles Hamilton controversy surrounds his decision to list the late <strong>James Yancey</strong>, better known as <strong>J. Dilla</strong>, as the executive producer of his debut album, <em><strong>This Perfect Life</strong></em>. The explanation? What he describes as a “paranormal relationship” with Dilla. Huh?</p>
<p>We give the kid some credit for keeping his name in the news in an era where fans are more fickle than ever, but unfortunately it&#8217;s become less about his music, and more about his public failures. Some of these are just normal growing pains of a new artist, but a lot of them could&#8217;ve been avoided if Charles would just take a take deep breath and log off every once in awhile. With that said, here’s a full breakdown of <strong>Charles Hamilton’s greatest fails</strong> as rated by our <em><strong>Rick Ross Fail Scale</strong></em>. Sorry Sonic&#8230; </p>

<blockquote><p><font color="red"><strong>SOULJA BOY TOLD &#8216;EM</strong></font><br />
<strong><u>WHEN</u>: December 2008</strong><br />
• Charles Hamilton blamed <strong>Soulja Boy</strong> for hipster-rap’s lack of mainstream acceptance in an interview and obviously forgot to check the kid’s online-beef track record. Soulja Boy fired back with one of his infamous video responses and laid into Charles for over seven minutes. Ether moment: “X out the Sonic. You might wanna fuck with Mario. You might wanna eat a mushroom. Wooka wooka wooka.” Then after <a href="http://smokingsection.uproxx.com/TSS/2008/12/i-know-it-was-you-fredo" target="_blank">conspiracy theories</a> about the authenticity of the beef developed (both are Interscope artists), most blogs, including Nah Right, never even posted Charles&#8217; Auto-Tuned <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VROR3iGQ-ro" target="_blank">response</a>. Fail.</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p><font color="red"><strong>CAN&#8217;T TAKE YOU SERIUS</strong></font><br />
<strong><u>WHEN</u>: January 2009</strong><br />
• Charles Hamilton handled old heads <strong>Rhymefest</strong> and <strong>Uncle Luke</strong> just fine, but he finally met his match when veteran battle rapper <strong>Serius Jones</strong> stepped up. “Your clothes look like the inside of a pussy.” Ouch. It <em>was</em> a good battle though, and while hip-hop may have won, Charles Hamilton definitely lost. In all fairness: we know your pea coat didn’t cost $2,000, Serius.</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p><font color="red"><strong>JACKIN&#8217; FOR BEATS</strong></font><br />
<strong><u>WHEN</u>: March 2009</strong><br />
• Underground producer <strong>Black Spade</strong> cried foul after noticing Charles Hamilton’s self-produced song “Shinin’” bears a striking resemblance to one of his beats (compare the tracks <a href="http://www.rockthedub.com/2009/03/black-spade-vs-charles-hamilton.html" target="_blank">here</a>). Of course, Charles denied the accusation and even posted his Pro Tools session file online in an attempt to clear his name. Unfortunately for him, the file turned out to be self-incriminating and pretty much confirmed—as evidenced above—that he did jack Black Spade’s beat. Um, fail.</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p><font color="red"><strong>SONIC DOESN&#8217;T LOVE COLLEGE</strong></font><br />
<strong><u>WHEN</u>: March 2009</strong><br />
• Oh, how nice of Charles Hamilton to freestyle with college kids after a concert. It just sucks when your fans can outshine you. Sure, Charles didn’t appear to be battling as hard as the fan was, but you should never half-ass it when cameras are rolling. The guy with the deal and the Interscope machine behind him should never let anyone think that he lost a battle to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDIbTQJ6eiI" target="_blank">this kid</a>. Not even for a second.</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p><font color="red"><strong>WALE AND CHARLES FIGURE OUT WHAT&#8217;S BEEF</strong></font><br />
<strong><u>WHEN</u>: April 2009</strong><br />
• Charles Hamilton and <strong>Wale</strong> have had a rocky relationship since people began grouping them together in the same “freshman class” collective. Charles <a href="http://charleshamilton.blogspot.com/2008/08/sigh-oh-god.html" target="_blank">denied</a> firing shots early on, but by spring, a real feud developed. The labelmates tried to <a href="http://nahright.com/news/2009/04/02/while-you-were-sleeping-wale-vs-charles-hamilton-nope/" target="_blank">cover their tracks</a> and called the beef “fake” on Twitter, but that didn’t last long. Wale’s hilarious jab from the clip above combined with his comments in <a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/2009/06/03/wale-talks-media-hate-charles-hamilton-celebrity-women/">our recent interview</a> might not have signaled a full-on assault, but they were pretty funny. Chalk it up to a W for the D.C. guy.</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p><font color="red"><strong>THE PUNCH HEARD &#8216;ROUND THE BLOGOSPHERE</strong></font><br />
<strong><u>WHEN</u>: May 2009</strong><br />
• We give Charles Hamilton credit for not going the <strong>Chris Brown</strong> route and retaliating, but that doesn’t exempt him from scrutiny. Think about the last time you got punched in the face by a girl. Anything cool about that? Didn’t think so. Unfortunately for Charles, <strong>Briana Latrise</strong>’s right hook became entertainment for millions and spawned <a href="http://i44.tinypic.com/11brj92.jpg" target="_blank">even more</a> jokes. The Pink Panther doll attached to his arm significantly increased the fail factor too. Sonic definitely lost his rings with this one. And those corny <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIGxeOIGU0U" target="_blank">couples therapy sessions</a> after the fact? Not a good look. </p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p><font color="red"><strong>CHARLES HAMILTON IMAGINES WORKING WITH DILLA</strong></font><br />
<strong><u>WHEN</u>: June 2009</strong><br />
• Earlier this week, Charles Hamilton posted cover art for his debut album, <em>This Perfect Life</em>, on his blog. Aside from the failure that is being signed to a major and having your <del datetime="2009-06-10T18:55:40+00:00">glorified mixtape</del> “debut” released for free online, Charles caused an uproar by crediting the deceased legend, <strong>J. Dilla</strong>, as the executive producer of the album. Charles said that proceeds (from a free album?) will go to the J. Dilla Foundation, which apparently doesn’t exist. Ma Dukes doesn’t even know who the kid is. Now he’s saying that he worked with Dilla through a “strictly paranormal relationship.” FOH. </p></blockquote>

<em><font size="1"> Chris Brown&#8217;s court room ensemble can&#8217;t be beat!</font></em></p>
<p>Recording artists are constantly being judged for their fashion choices, but at no point is an outfit more important than when they&#8217;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. </p>
<p>Yesterday, when R&#038;B singer <strong>Chris Brown</strong> appeared in Los Angeles Superior Court to be arraigned for the alleged assault of his pop star girlfriend <strong>Rihanna</strong>, he made a smart selection: tight fitting dress clothes topped off with a sweater. Note the black—it&#8217;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&#8230;<br />

<font size="1">It&#8217;s tool time for celebrity douche bags.</font></p>
<p>Men are dogs and women want to put them on leashes. That essentially sums up VH1&#8217;s new reality series <em><strong>Tool Academy</strong></em>, where the most &#8220;arrogant, dishonest, thoughtless and unfaithful boyfriends&#8221; are duped into entering therapy that may transform them into marriage-ready castrated zombies. </p>
<p>OK, maybe we take some issue with the premise of this man-hating show, but we can admit that some men go too far. We need look no further than the daily celebrity news to see men pissing all over their hot ladies. When they cast the (inevitable?) celebrity version of <em>Tool Academy</em>, <strong>these five dudes could benefit from a little higher learning&#8230;</strong><br />
<span id="more-22593"></span></p>
<p><img src='http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/toolacademy_clemens_edit.jpg' alt='toolacademy_clemens_edit.jpg' /><br />
<strong><u>Tool</u>: <font color=red>ROGER CLEMENS</strong></font></p>
<p><strong><u>Before Tool Academy</u>:</strong> The Rocket threw high heat at his wife Debbie, cheating on the mother of his four sons with 16-year-old country music star Mindy McCready and Paulette Dean Daly, wife of pro golfer John Daly. Then he threw her a curve, deflecting allegations of his own steroid use by telling Congress in February 2008 that Deb had taken HGH to get ripped for their February 2003 <em>Sports Illustrated</em> photo shoot (and because Clemens wanted her to have more love muscle).</p>
<p><strong><u>After Tool Academy</u>:</strong> Rocket will catch while Deb fires her balls at him for a change.</p>
<p><img src='http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/toolacademy_sambora_edit.jpg' alt='toolacademy_sambora_edit.jpg' /><br />
<strong><u>Tool</u>: <font color=red>RICHIE SAMBORA</strong></font></p>
<p><strong><u>Before Tool Academy</u>:</strong> Bon Jovi&#8217;s axe man cheated on Heather Locklear, his hot actress wife and the mother of his daughter, with her &#8220;best friend&#8221; Denise Richards, who was then married to prostitute poon hound Charlie Sheen. In 2008, he endangered his girlfriend and his daughter&#8217;s lives drunk driving his Hummer. So not only does he treat women wrong, he&#8217;s also fucking Mother Earth with a gas guzzler.</p>
<p><strong><u>After Tool Academy</u>:</strong> Sambora will punish his penis by wearing jeans that are too tight for even a rock star, forever changing Bon Jovi&#8217;s harmonies.</p>
<p><img src='http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/tool_gotti.jpg' alt='tool_gotti.jpg' /><br />
<strong><u>Tool</u>: <font color=red>IRV GOTTI</strong></font></p>
<p><strong><u>Before Tool Academy</u>:</strong> As if cheating on his wife and the mother of his children wasn&#8217;t bad enough, Irving humiliated his lady Debbie by airing out his rampant infidelity on their reality TV show, <em>Gotti&#8217;s Way</em>. In reality, Irv is a dick.</p>
<p><strong><u>After Tool Academy</u>:</strong> Irving will attempt to win back his special lady by becoming the first &#8220;Gotti&#8221; male ever to garden for his boo. He will also accept it when his penis gets less play than Cadillac Tah.</p>
<p><img src='http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/tool_crudup.jpg' alt='tool_crudup.jpg' /><br />
<strong><u>Tool</u>: <font color=red>BILLY CRUDUP</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><u>Before Tool Academy</u>:</strong> The Crud dated Mary-Louise Parker from 1996 to 2003 then dumped her for Claire Danes while Parker was seven months pregnant with his son. In his defense, those last few Lamaze classes really are a bitch.</p>
<p><strong><u>After Tool Academy</u>:</strong> Crud will open a home for all the bastard children of athletes and actors, then take estrogen injections so he can breast feed them.</p>
<p><img src='http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/toolacademy_chrisbrownrih_edit.jpg' alt='toolacademy_chrisbrownrih_edit.jpg' /><br />
<strong><u>Tool</u>: <font color=red>CHRIS BROWN</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><u>Before Tool Academy</u>:</strong> He allegedly assaulted his girlfriend, <a href="http://www.complex.com/GIRLS/Cover-Girls/RIHANNA">June/July 2007 Complex cover girl</a> Rihanna, because she was being a little too social at a pre-Grammy party. If true, it would be without doubt the lowest note he&#8217;s ever hit. And this is a dude who dances in Doublemint commercials (or did until they burst his bubble, dropping him when the charges were made public).</p>
<p><strong><u>After Tool Academy</u>:</strong> Brown will receive an honorary diploma from the T.A. after a cell block of Rihanna-loving inmates shows him how it feels to be an abused woman. That&#8217;s Operation CB for real.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src='http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/rihanna_wot_opener.jpg' alt='rihanna_wot_opener.jpg' /><br />
Last night at the American Music Awards, international pop star and former <a href="http://www.complex.com/GIRLS/Cover-Girls/RIHANNA">Complex cover girl</a> <strong>Rihanna</strong> proved why she&#8217;s the one of the baddest chicks in the game, bagging statues for both Favorite Soul/R&#038;B Female Artist <em>and</em> Favorite Pop/Rock Female Artist. The world just can&#8217;t get enough of Ri-Ri, and neither can we. </p>
<p>The <strong>long-legged Bajan</strong> has been on our radar since she let the two&#8217;s out to play in her &#8220;S.O.S.&#8221; video. Since then, she&#8217;s blown up like we thought she would and in the process has found herself in the middle of romantic rumors involving everyone from her former boss <strong>Jay-Z</strong> to (s)crappy actor <strong>Shia LeBeouf</strong>. So it&#8217;s only right that we ask: Is the good girl gone bad a wifey or trifey? <strong>Chris Brown</strong>, relax and take notes, as we examine the evidence&#8230;<br />
<span id="more-19892"></span><br />
<img src='http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/rihannaendorsement_4801.jpg' alt='rihannaendorsement_4801.jpg' /><br />
<strong><u>WIFEY?</u></strong><br />
She&#8217;s a cash cow. In the three or so years that Rihanna&#8217;s been on the scene, she&#8217;s managed to sell over 11 million records, chart five #1&#8217;s and become the first chick since Whitney Houston to stay atop the UK charts for 10 weeks. She&#8217;s also amassed a grip of endorsement deals from Venus, Tote Umbrellas, Clinque and most recently Gucci. Yeah, she&#8217;s a business, man. </p>
<p><img src='http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/rihanna_unfaithful_480.jpg' alt='rihanna_unfaithful_480.jpg' /><br />
<strong><u>TRIFEY?</u></strong><br />
Her second biggest hit, behind the drunk sorority girl anthem &#8220;Umbrella,&#8221; was &#8220;Unfaithful,&#8221; an ode to infidelity. Sure, the song was penned by Ne-Yo, but it seemed a little like art imitating life to us. And her believable performance as a cheater in the video is especially suspicious&#39;if you saw her in <em>Bring it On: All or Nothing</em>, you know &#8220;acting&#8221; isn&#8217;t her strong suit.</p>
