<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>Welcome back from the weekend, kids. Bloggers and the people who send them music must be enjoying the holiday, because leaks were admittedly slow today. We still managed to scrape together five tracks worth taking a peak at. Whether it&#8217;s <strong>Raekwon</strong> flowing over another ridiculous sample or <strong>Chris Brown</strong> crooning in Auto-Tune, we got all the latest leaks covered. Stream and download everything below&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-94654"></span><br />
<blockquote><br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;Pioneers&#8221;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> Raekwon<br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="http://2dopeboyz.okayplayer.com/2010/02/13/raekwon-pioneers/" target="_blank">LINK</a>]<br />
• No idea where this new Rae track came from but it&#8217;s more than welcome. It&#8217;s a worth a listen for the beat just as much as The Chef&#8217;s always-sharp lyrics.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;Say Something&#8221;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> Chris Brown<br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="http://www.pigeonsandplanes.com/2010/02/new-chris-brown-in-my-zone-mixtape.html" target="_blank">LINK</a>]<br />
• Breezy just dropped this highlight from his <em>Gangsta Grillz</em> mixtape with DJ Drama and it&#8217;s kinda hot, if you&#8217;re still into overdone Auto-Tune ballads.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;No Hassle&#8221;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> Robyn<br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="http://nynedymondz.blogspot.com/2010/02/new-robyn-no-hassle-prod-by-diplo.html" target="_blank">LINK</a>]<br />
• Diplo produced this record, which happens to be the first song from Robyn in a while. Like, years. Naturally there&#8217;s hype surrounding her return to music. We just hope the Swedish singer can live up to it and create the same magic she did with 2005&#8217;s <em>Robyn</em>.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;Nappy Boys&#8221;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> Shawnna f/ T-Pain<br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="http://www.youheardthatnew.com/2010/02/14/shawnna-f-t-pain-%E2%80%93-nappy-boy/" target="_blank">LINK</a>]<br />
• Wow. Shawnna has no shame about biting <a href="http://www.complex.com/CELEBRITIES/Complex-Women/Nicki-Minaj">Nicki Minaj</a>&#8217;s whole steez on this leak from T-Pain&#8217;s <em>Nappy Boy All-Stars</em> mixtape.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;Fireflies&#8221;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> Crooked I<br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="http://nahright.com/news/2010/02/13/crooked-i-fireflies-freestyle/" target="_blank">LINK</a>]<br />
• Crook may never have a #1 single of his own, but that doesn&#8217;t stop from rocking over Owl City&#8217;s chart-topper on this freestyle that hit the blogs over the weekend.</p></blockquote>

		<description><![CDATA[Last night on Letterman, Swedish singer Robyn brought her Jamaican patois imitation to the States.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src='http://c.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/robyncobra_main.jpg' alt='robyncobra_main.jpg' /><br />
On Letterman last night, hipster guilty-pleasure <strong>Robyn</strong> performed her 2006 song &#8220;Cobrastyle,&#8221; a remake of the 2005 Teddybears Sthlm song, which is itself a complete jack of <strong>Cobra</strong>&#39;s 2001 dancehall anthem &#8220;<strong>Press Trigger</strong>.&#8221; This daisy chain opens up a huge can of worms for us, but since we&#39;re in the business of fellating any and all attempts at cultural cross-pollination, we figured we&#39;d give it a shot. After the jump, hear the songs and read our full analysis.<br />
<span id="more-12417"></span></p>
<p>On one hand, the &#8220;original&#8221; Teddybears song was done with Cobra (nee Mad Cobra, who you&#39;d probably know from his 1992 song &#8220;Flex&#8221; during dancehall&#39;s first major-label Stateside invasion), so we can&#39;t exactly get all high-horsey about Scandinavian grafted devils jacking original man fi him badman chune deh. But yuh dun know, Robyn, if you&#39;re going to gank a song from one of the biggest crossover riddims of the decade (<strong>The Buzz</strong>, which also brought you Sean Paul&#39;s &#8220;Gimme The Light,&#8221; Sizzla&#39;s &#8220;Pump Up,&#8221; and three or four other hits), seems like you should at least try to get the words right. In &#8220;Press Trigger,&#8221; Cobra says:<br />
<blockquote>Mi press trigger mi nuh press people button<br />
Nuh bodda chat, come face mi with something</p></blockquote>
<p>But Robyn turns that second line into something like &#8220;nobody chaffs,&#8221; which might be true, but sounds more like a mistake than anything else. The song&#39;s catchy, yeah, but when she brings in the Kid Rock &#8220;Bawitdabar&#8221; reference to boot, everything collapses into a big hipster wink at silly urban music. It&#39;s like Uffie jacking Audio Two on &#8220;Pop the Glock&#8221; or Ben Folds redoing &#8220;Bitches Ain&#39;t Shit.&#8221; On the scale of offensiveness, this all ranks somewhere between Sugar Ray-featuring-Supercat and <a href="http://snl.wikia.com/wiki/Adrien_Brody" target="_blank">Adrien Brody</a> jumping around like a minstrel in a dreadlock wig on Saturday Night Live.</p>
