jennifer hudson feat t.i. - i can't describe (the way i feel)
produced by pharrell, j-hud's new single is a pretty sparse vocally-centric/groovy jam that reminds me of old skool chaka khan. though it's not quite on that level, it still is nice to hear her amazing voice.
can't see the full video? here are some highlights of lady gaga's amazing live performance to kick off the itunes festival (it also marks the 1st time fans get to hear tracks from her upcoming album #artpop)

lady gaga feat T.I., too $hort & twista - jewels & drugs
robin thicke feat t.i. and pharrell - blurred lines
it's nice to hear that retro soul of pharrell coming back, throw in robin thicke and his cheesy sexy self, a more mature t.i. and you pretty much have a borderline guilty pleasure retro soul song to jam to. the video is hella sexist and there's even a NSFW version (see below) with the girls walking around naked (and the men looking like their pervy uncles), but somehow the silliness of it all makes it kind of alright. will some diva do a response version and bring on a male models yo!

jay z & kanye west feat TI - n**gas in paris (remix)
[every rapper is in fine form on this sick stank face track! definitely a welcome return by TI after his stint away AND a funny sample from the will ferrell/jon heder silly classic 'blades of glory' ("No one knows what it means, but it's provocative, Gets the people going!")]
britney feat t.i. - gimme more (remix) [link 2] [flooding the internet over the weekend, britney's 'comeback' single had the potential to be interesting, but something was missing... turns out a more bombastic beat and an awesome fan mash up featuring t.i. was the answer! now i'm all buzzed about this trailer trash's return to the charts. speaking of which, who are the gal enablers surrounding the brit-ster in the above pic? they just look like bad news!]
