Left To Right: T.I., Mya, Rakim, Au Revoir Simone, Ne-Yo
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.
The leaks were plentiful today, but out of everything notable that hit the blogs today, these are the five songs that you need to check out. Mya and Nicki Minaj get freaky on wax, T.I. is still dropping singles while locked up, and three of our favorite Brooklyn girls got one of their hottest records remixed. That’s not all we have on today’s playlist either. Listen to and download the aforementioned songs and a couple more after the jump…

Today’s selections come from parties as different as the King of South and Radiohead’s leading man. Keep reading to start listening and downloading…

Well, it’s official: T.I. reported to the judge today to plead guilty to his weapons charges, and got formally sentenced to a year and a day (which could well end up being less when time served on house arrest gets taken into consideration). Clifford gets to voluntarily head to jail sometime after May 19, which gives him a couple of months extra to finish making the world a better place.
Needless to say, we’re making sad-face emoticons over here at Complex; not only is the civilian population losing one of the South’s finest lyricists and a genuinely smart and likable dude, but it’s just one more objectively great emcee who gets chalked into the “Incarcerated” category. There’s more than 20 rappers locked up right now, but since we don’t really fux with shermhead cannibals, we had to narrow it down to our 10 favorite (including Tip). For a look at the other nine, read on…

What’s beef, anyway? Is it talking greasy about your daughter for having octuplets after already having six kids? Is it slagging on your tween pop-sensation colleague? Prolly not, but that doesn’t stop everyone and their artificially-inseminated grandmother from taking their feuds to YouTube.
If you’re gonna go the digital route, though, you might want to take a second and get familiar with the new art of war, as pioneered by the original catfighters: rappers! Read on to see the 5 best ways to win a shit-talking video battle…

Style is all in the details. And if you’re dressing it up in a suit or blazer, topping your outfit off with a carefully-chosen pocket square will add a classy touch. Still, most casual-minded folks wouldn’t know how to correctly fold one if it jumped straight into their front pocket.
There are many different ways to fold a pocket square, but Complex only co-signs the two most basic methods: Square-Ended and Triangle. We consulted Brooks Brothers’ recent catalog “Timeless Classics,” which provided us with some handy step-by-step illustrations that show you how to do both folds. Check 'em out below…
