Game f. Justin Timberlake and Pharrell, “Ain’t No Doubt About It” MP3
Game is definitely thinking outside the box. For a guy who does a good job at boasting about the west coast’s best weather, women, and weed, he can immediately lose you when the elephant in the room is one of his random suicidal thoughts. His disposition is a lot sunnier though in his new single from The R.E.D Album thanks to a fun, quirky beat by Pharrell.
With P and Justin Timberlake in Game’s ranks, “Ain’t No Doubt About It” actually makes this west coast tough cookie more soft batch, for the ladies. Game’s G is strong with women as is his video game skills. He’s never been modest about either one of them. Listen to Jayceon walk a somewhat new path after the jump.

Jamie Foxx f. Justin Timberlake, T.I. “Winner” MP3
Come April 18th, the NBA post-season packs bigger endorsements and more courtside celebrities to fill the seats at the ESPY Awards. Time out! Did TNT just take the air out of ESPN’s balls by casting Jamie Foxx and Justin Timberlake for the promo ads? These two men of soul have previously hosted ESPY Awards specials to rave reviews doing classic riffs on players of all sport.
The ads on ESPN tend to be a bit smarter, and wittier plugging in the anchormen (and women) into the mix. TNT’s just stepping their game up. Nice job Ted Turner! Oh, and that song playing in the background of the ad, that’s JT and Jamie’s new one with T.I. Listen to “Winner” below, then hit the jump to see the cool advertisement.
Video: Justin Timberlake f. Timbaland, “Carry Out”
It’s the return of our third favorite interracial couple! (Sorry, Kimora and Halle been holdin it DOWN!) Stop frontin like you don’t get all “Oh shit I done lost my mind” when you hear / see Timbaland and Timberlake. They even have a black & white sartorial scheme and coordinated dance moves. Also we might have to quit writing and open our own Burlesque Drive-In. We think that’s exactly what New York is missing. Our lives, however, have been missing Justin Timberlake’s curlfro and we see that he is maybe growing his hair out. (The hats aren’t fooling anyone.) Just the quick sighting of curls on his head has blown the lid off of our dormant N*SYNC obsession frenzy from days of yore! OMG what if he’s going back to braids?!?! We cant take the thought that we might soon be standing eight hours outside of the record store waiting for the new JT CD. PSYYYCH we work for a music site! On second thought, maybe we shouldn’t quit our jobs then. OK, everyone remain as is and just watch the video. -Judnick Mayard
Rihanna’s “Kill Breezy Volume 1″
Rihanna is officially back for everyone out there thinking the “ella, ella” movement was long gone. While the blog scene is still catching their collective breaths—from those nude snapshots from last winter, TMZ x LAPD Confidential Police Photo leak and publicized domestic dispute hearings—everyone else is getting a glimpse of the “new and improved” RiRi… in other words, the return of the “R” is back and we’re not talkin’ Rakim.
Call it really good promotion on behalf of her staff or call it a smart overall game plan by her own means, but setting up a Twitter page with a one-liner which has also grasped over 54,000 follows in less than 24 hours? Incredible. Just for those of you who think the singer might be pulling a fast one, peep what she had to say:
“The Wait Is Ova. Nov 23 09″
End of story. ‘Nuff said. Salutations. In case you are wondering the significance of November 23rd (which is a Monday), it’s actually going to be one of the biggest days this upcoming holiday season with Lady Gaga, Timbaland, 50 Cent, Birdman and your girl, RiRi landing in stores with new albums. Coincidentally, while the others already have names to their projects, we’re still left wondering what title (Justin Timberlake) she has come up with so far…
While you all ponder that “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” journey, keep in mind…with only a Zorro meets “Playboy Night Calls” letter “R” being displayed on her Twitter page promising a return, this comeback will be far more greater than Uma Thurman from those Kill Bill films. Even though she won’t admit it, this good girl –> bad girl is out to prove a point…sell records? Yes. Regain an even larger sex appeal and media spolight? Yes. Make Chris “Breezy” Brown look like a sucker? You better believe it. Only time will tell and her new songs have yet to meet the inevitable industry leak..until then, Breezy…..watch out! –Cyrus Kyle Langhorne
Stream: Leona Lewis, “Don’t Let Me Down”
Leona Lewis releases another emotional, moody track that fits the constant yearning of her voice. This one was produced by Justin Timberlake and Timbaland… okay, question. This is definitely a good bathtime jam/post-pool hotel nap soundtrack, but is Leona Lewis basically the 2000s version of Celine Dion? There’s something vaguely Celine-meets-adult contemporary hip-hop about her shit. The outro on this sounds like the dramatic music from “Friday Night Lights” (the TV show). Leona, holla at us and tell us what you’re thinking.
Ciara f. Justin Timberlake, “Love and Sex and Magic”
It’s a match made in VIBE cover heaven. Both Ciara and J.T. Money , have at very different times, owned both the R&B and pop charts, but now that they’ve joined forces? Love. Sex. Magic. In that order.
