<p>Less than two weeks ago, we showed you behind-the-scenes <a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/2010/02/18/wake-n-watch-the-making-of-young-moneys-roger-that-music-video/">footage</a> of <strong>Young Money</strong>&#8217;s <strong>&#8220;Roger That&#8221;</strong> video. The clip looked like it&#8217;d be dope even when <strong>Wayne</strong>, <strong>Tyga</strong>, and <strong>Nicki</strong> were just rapping in front of a green screen, but the final version surfaced online last night and it&#8217;s even better than we expected. With <strong><a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/2009/12/08/wake-n-watch-young-money-bedrock-kid-cudi-pursuit-of-happiness-music-videos/">&#8220;Bedrock&#8221;</a></strong> peaking at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week and this sick, <em>Sin City</em>-inspired visual debuting at the same time, Weezy can turn himself into authorities today knowing that his YM crew is capable of holding things down for the next several months.</p>

<p>Everyone knows <strong>Lil&#8217; Wayne</strong> is going hard with the video shoots before he goes in for his year-long bid, but Derick G, the crew&#8217;s official behind-the-scenes guy, has some great footage showing exactly what one of these hectic, last-minute shoots is like. The video is <strong>&#8220;Roger That,&#8221;</strong> the catchphrase-inspiring, fan favorite from the <strong>Young Money</strong> LP. <strong>Nicki Minaj</strong> and <strong>Tyga</strong> spit verses, and familiar faces like <strong>Birdman</strong> (no <strong>Drake</strong>, though) and the rest of the YM collective are present as well. The vid looks like it&#8217;ll be dope when it&#8217;s finished, but we&#8217;re just wondering if one of the members who does more hanging out than work (looking at you, <strong>Lil&#8217; Twist</strong>) is getting <a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/2009/12/21/the-weakest-link-who-should-get-kicked-out-of-young-money/">kicked out</a> any time soon.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[We're glad there's a new world record holder for freestyling, but hip-hop needs some more dynamic awards, and here they are.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/records.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/records.jpg" alt="records" title="records" width="625" height="400" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-81798" /></a></p>
<p>If you weren&#8217;t in Indianapolis weekend and/or don&#8217;t keep up with innovations in off-the-dome hip-hop, a dude named <strong>M-Eighty </strong> freestyled for more than nine hours and fifteen minutes on Saturday, with observers from Guinness World Records on hand to help verify the proceedings. If the 555 minutes of rapping about what people in the audience were wearing holds up, then M-Eighty replaces <strong>Supernatural</strong> as the officially sanctioned Longest Freestyle Ever record holder (Supernat set the record in 2006 by inducing narcolespy for just over nine hours).</p>
<p>That&#8217;s all well and good, and we congratulate dude&#8217;s seemingly indefatigable ability to rhyme one-syllable words together, but it made us realize that the existing rap-related world records just aren&#8217;t that exciting. Longest freestyle? Fastest rap? Why not acknowledge achievements that have really done something to change the world we live in? That&#8217;s why we took it upon ourselves to make <strong>our OWN list of world records.</strong> This is for you, hip-hop!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/we-are-young-money-lead1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/we-are-young-money-lead1.jpg" alt="we-are-young-money-lead" title="we-are-young-money-lead" width="625" height="315" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-81550" /></a><br />
It&#8217;s a <strong>Young Money</strong> world, the rest of us just live in it. Yeah, unless you&#8217;ve been living under a rock for the past few months, you know that <strong>Weezy, Drake, Nicki The Ninja</strong> and co. are kind of killing it these days, and today&#8217;s release of the very dope <em><strong>We Are Young Money</strong></em> album just underscores the fact.</p>
<p>But every crew&#8217;s got a weak link, right? After some intensive research, we&#8217;ve compiled the wackest line by each YM member, including both Wayne and the golden boy from Canada. Who gets kicked out of Young Mula? We let you decide with our poll at the end. Somebody&#8217;s gonna catch feelings&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/shuffle_oct13.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/shuffle_oct13.jpg" alt="shuffle_oct13" title="shuffle_oct13" width="625" height="250" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-66272" /></a><br />
<font size="1"><em>Left To Right: Pharrell, Big Boi, Brandon Flowers, Young Jeezy, Tyga</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>Sometimes we have to look everywhere for the five songs on our Shuffle playlist. Not today. Notable leaks from big artists in the past 24 hours were plentiful and we&#8217;ve rounded up the best of the bunch. N.E.R.D teamed up with Santigold. Big Boi did the same with Gucci Mane. The Killers rocked out for the unexpectedly dope <em>Twilight</em> soundtrack. Yeah, we got all of that and more. Keep reading to start listening and downloading&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-66264"></span><br />
<blockquote><br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;Soldier&#8221;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> N.E.R.D &#038; Santigold<br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="http://www.youheardthatnew.com/2009/10/13/n-e-r-d-x-santigold-soldier/" target="_blank">LINK</a>]<br />
• A live version of this record (with a now-extinct Lil&#8217; Wayne verse) has been floating around for some time now. The full-quality version just hit the blogs though. We&#8217;d say look out for this on next year&#8217;s <em>Instant Gratification</em>, but the band&#8217;s <a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/2009/09/03/token-female-showdown-beps-fergie-vs-nerds-rhea/">new female member</a> is noticeably absent.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>
<br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;Shine Blockas&#8221;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> Big Boi f/ Gucci Mane<br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="http://nahright.com/news/2009/10/13/big-boi-ft-gucci-mane-shine-blockas/" target="_blank">LINK</a>]<br />
• Here&#8217;s another one off <em>Sir Luscious Leftfoot</em>. It seems like Big Boi has developed some type of musical companionship with Gucci, which is cool since they make pretty decent <a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/2009/06/24/wake-n-watch-gucci-mane-f-juelz-big-boi-she-gotta-friend/">tracks</a> together.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>
<br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;A White Demon Love Song&#8221;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> The Killers<br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="http://www.pigeonsandplanes.com/2009/10/new-killers-white-demon-love-song.html" target="_blank">LINK</a>]<br />
• We may or may not care about the next <em>Twilight</em> movie, but it&#8217;s hard to deny how ill the soundtrack is shaping up to be. We featured a <a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/2009/09/23/5-oclock-shuffle-de-la-soul-julian-casablancas-saigon-more/">song</a> from it before, and this new one by Brandon Flowers &#038; Co. is even better.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>
<br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;Bag Music&#8221;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> Young Jeezy f/ USDA<br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="http://www.xclusiveszone.net/2009/10/young-jeezyboo-211-bag-music.html" target="_blank">LINK</a>]<br />
• It&#8217;s always nice when you can still listen to songs from a rapper&#8217;s crew <em>after</em> the star spits his verse. <a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/2009/09/22/young-jeezy-x-espo-cover-our-october-november-issue-2-of-3/">Jeezy</a> obviously stands out here, but the record is surprisingly dope in its entirety.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>
<br />
<strong>SONG:</strong> <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">&#8220;The Nausea&#8221;</SPAN><br />
<strong>ARTIST:</strong> Tyga<br />
<strong>DOWNLOAD:</strong> [<a href="http://2dopeboyz.okayplayer.com/2009/10/12/tyga-the-nausea/" target="_blank">LINK</a>]<br />
• Sure, the Young Money rapper is an <a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/2008/08/28/the-unauthorized-history-of-hip-hop-chain-snatching/13/">easy target</a> for ridicule, but we won&#8217;t act like the kid hasn&#8217;t stepped up his rhymes a little bit. This is from his upcoming <em>Black Thoughts</em> mixtape.</p></blockquote>

		<description><![CDATA[Superstars have started selling their albums through Best Buy or Target. Maybe these hip-hop rookies can try cutting deals with some smaller stores.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src='http://c.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/rappers.jpg' alt='rappers' /><br />
Well, it&#8217;s official: Prince is a genius. After the Eagles and AC/DC posted huge numbers last year releasing albums exclusively through a Walmart, Prince <a href="http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118000723.html?categoryId=16&#038;cs=1" target="_blank">signed on</a> to release a three-album set for sale only at <strong>Target</strong>. Mark our words: he&#8217;ll be platinum by June. </p>
<p>The trend got us thinking that some of these struggling rookie rappers could benefit from the strategy. Granted, big dog retailers like Best Buy and Target probably won&#8217;t cut exclusive deals with newcomers like <strong>Kid Cudi</strong> and <strong>Asher Roth</strong>, but we thought of some less obvious stores that might jump at the chance. Read on to see marketing plans for ten of our favorite up-and-coming MCs&#8230;<br />

Back in the dayâ„¢, if a rapper didn&#8217;t have an album (or at least a song on the radio), the only shine he might expect would be a few sentences in the back of <em><strong>The Source</strong></em>. But nowadays, every MC Tom, Dick and Harry with a MacBook&#39;no matter how irrelevant or untalented&#39;can make a name with a video blog. Quite simply, <strong>rapper video blogging</strong> is outta control.  </p>
<p>Be clear: We are not talking about video blogs from dudes like <strong>Diddy</strong>, <strong>Weezy</strong>, and <strong>Soulja Boy</strong>&#39;though they are no less asinine, you&#8217;re allowed a little slack when you&#8217;ve proven you have actual fans. For this poll, we&#8217;re aiming directly at the lames who put out more web videos than actual music, the ones that clog up <strong><a href="http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/" target="_blank">worldstarhiphop.com</strong></a> with their mindless fuckery. So who&#8217;s the worst video blogger of the bunch?</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Run that piece! In honor of Yung Berg's recent robbery, Complex rates the greatest shine-stealers in rap history.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src='http://c.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/chainscomeoff.jpg' alt='chainscomeoff.jpg' width="240" align="right" />Middle-aged white guys buy snazzy sports cars and flaunt them as if they&#8217;re chrome, fuel-injected, super-charged effigies of their now flaccid cocks. <strong>Rappers</strong>, on the other hand, buy gaudy medallions attached to equally gaudy links and rock them as if they&#8217;re platinum-and-gold-plated, diamond-encrusted effigies of their now flaccid cocks. So you can imagine how emasculated your favorite rapper feels when another rapper, or local stick-up kid, comes along, takes their shine, and leaks a picture or youtube video. It&#8217;s like they&#8217;re holding their penises (Â¡NH!) fully exposed for the world to see! Ay Carumba!</p>
<p>In any case, the latest incident of manhood snatching befell poor widdle Yung Berg while the diddy-bopper cruised the mean streets of Detroit (what he was doing wearing jewelry in the D, we don&#8217;t know either). Needless to say, Berg is probably somewhere licking his wounds. But cheer up, lil&#8217; buddy! You just entered a club whose members include hip hop&#8217;s elite.</p>
<p>To boost Berg&#8217;s gloomy disposition, <em>Complex</em> combed the annals (ayo!) of hip hop history (along with rumors and allegations as well) to compile an authoritative list of the most notorious chain snatchings ever. To be fair to the victims and the vickers, we rated each incident by how emasculating it was to their careers, as well as the probability that the snatching actually happened (since almost none of the incidents can be verified by police reports) . If you don&#8217;t read this blog, you&#8217;re just robbing yourself.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[These lightweight MCs recently started talking tough after being tested by foes. Vote on which will be able to stand the pressures of rap stardom.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src='http://c.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/berg_tyga_tough_edit.jpg' alt='berg_tyga_tough_edit.jpg' /><br />
When you think of rappers talking smack, images of brolic heavyweight types like <strong>50 Cent</strong> and <strong>Fat Joe</strong> come to mind. But recently, <strong>Yung Berg</strong> and <strong>Tyga</strong>&#39;two light-weight MCs known for making teen-friendly crossover hits&#39;have gotten caught in the crosshairs of rap beef. Berg claimed he would punch Florida MC <strong>Brisco</strong>, while Tyga released a video to clap back at G-Unit flunkie <strong>40 Glocc</strong>, who claimed he stole the youngster&#8217;s chain.</p>
<p>For two positive kids who just want to make fun music, it&#8217;s sad that they&#8217;ve gotten pulled into the world of back and forth rap beef. But if they want to have a long career in the competitive hip-hop world, it certainly won&#8217;t be the last time they&#8217;ll make enemies. Which little guy will hold up better under the pressure? Watch both of their recent tough-guy videos and vote below.<br />
<span id="more-14264"></span></p>
<p><strong>Yung Berg Takes Aim At Brisco</strong><br />
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gY9EBzvL5X4&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gY9EBzvL5X4&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />
After making a hilarious remark about his own album being pushed back like Flo-Rida&#8217;s hairline, Berg became the target of Flo-Rida&#8217;s cousin, Brisco. After repeatedly attempting to squash the beef, YB couldn&#8217;t take it any more. In a recent interview on the Sirius Satellite Radio show <em>Lipservice</em>, Berg makes it clear he&#8217;s ready to get physical with Brisco, claiming that he&#8217;ll punch him in the f&#8217;ing mouth the next time he sees him.</p>
<p> <strong>Tyga Discusses His Robbery</strong><br />
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lGMbtjld2xg&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lGMbtjld2xg&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />
After Tyga was robbed for his Young Money chain, G-Unit affiliate 40 Glocc claimed he was behind it. Tyga quickly rebuked this claim via video where he he recaps the event and disses the thieves, icey and as confident as ever. He mocks the chain-snatchers for having to use a gun, and reaffirms how he knows a lot of &#8220;O.G&#8217;s in the streets.&#8221; </p>
