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 weekend was packed with leaks from big-name artists. Haven't been glued to the computer for the past couple days? No worries. Today's playlist is your one-stop shop for playing catch up. We'd let you know what we have in store, but you see the picture above and you recognize all of those guys. You know the drill. Keep it moving and get to the MP3 streams and download links after the jump...
SONG: "Look Out"
ARTIST: Lil' Wayne
DOWNLOAD: [LINK]
• Here's another rock record from Weezy. It's pretty much in line with his previous forays into the genre. That's a good thing for some people and the opposite for others. Listen and decide.
SONG: "Who Says"
ARTIST: John Mayer
DOWNLOAD: [LINK]
• Hip-hop fucks with John Mayer for a reason. Let's use this track's chorus as a point of reference: "who says I can't get stoned?" Anyone who can put a pot-smoking anthem on adult contemporary radio is cool with us.
SONG: "Believe It Or Not"
ARTIST: Drake f/ Gucci Mane
DOWNLOAD: [LINK]
• It was only a matter of time before two of the hottest "new" rappers collaborated. Their sharp difference in musical backgrounds is glaring, but it's a solid effort nonetheless. Fans of both will be pleased.
SONG: "Taking My Ball"
ARTIST: Eminem
DOWNLOAD: [LINK]
• People are complaining about this song, but do you really expect Em to give away his best material for a video game soundtrack? We still have no doubts that Relapse 2 will be insane.
SONG: "I'm Good (Remix)"
ARTIST: Clipse f/ Rick Ross
DOWNLOAD: [LINK]
• The official remix finally hit the blogs and it's as dope as expected. Listen out for the Complex cover shout out too. The music video should be out soon.
SONG: "Spotlight"
ARTIST: Gucci Mane f/ Usher
DOWNLOAD: [LINK]
• After flooding the streets with three mixtapes this weekend, Gucci finally released a real single from The State vs. Radric Davis. Everyone knows girls buy albums, so if this catches on, dude will probably move units.

Not really looking forward to that Rebirth album but the 'Look Out' track actually wasn't bad. The John Mayer track is okay though I can take him or leave him. Drake and Gucci- solid, like it says on the can. Em- this man's off his nut! Like the beat. Clipse and The Bawse- probably the best track from the selection. Heavy! Gucci's doing his thing ain't he?

lil wayne is an embarrasment. that is the single most disgusting thing ever played on the face of the earth. i would rather listen to a chorus of horses trotting down an uneven cobblestone road for three days straight than be subject to that.

you^^,yeah you^^london calling, have a screw loose. your out of your element. when it comes to rock i would think you have your wits about you given your username, but alas, who said the world isnt flat right. you win some you lose some. you, im afraid, are bordering on ludacris. it is not even rock. It is some rediculous sounding, hardly rythmic chorus of instruments catered to the raps which he is merely singing, or rather attempting to sing, to the so-called "beat." not to mention the gargantuan amount of altering in the studio, certainly in line with his previous work. hey, i guess hes still fooling people. though i gotta say he wouldnt have any shot at the ntc. lil wayne sounds like an infant on drugs. i rest my case.
