I won’t spoil who bet on who.  Just watch the video (which is really audio) and see hear for yourself.

B.O.B aka Bobby Ray checked in with Bootleg Kev to speak on the new single “Nothing on You”, Who “might” be on his debut album, working with Eminem, Who he would put on the XXL 2010 Freshmen Cover, the importance the internet has been in his career, and some of his dream collaborations.

Here are the confirmed tour dates for Drake’s upcoming “The Away From Home” tour, as posted by Drake Oliver on Drake’s internet home, October’s Very Own.  Sidenote:  It took me a while to realize the theme behind this tour.  It’s a tour dedicated to college students (like all of the 5starhiphop staff) who have home’s away from home.  hence, why all the stops are at universities (not mine though).  Much respect Drake.  Much respect.

Here’s a new cut off DJ Khaled’s upcoming Victory album, which isn’t due out until March 2nd.  This record was supposed to feature Kanye, but obviously he does not appear on it.  Maybe he will be on the album version?  Who knows?

DOWNLOAD: DJ Khaled – Victory ft. Nas & John Legend (MP3)

This song leaked before with a buncha annoying ass DJ drops.  Here it is tagless.  As you might notice, it’s just a snippet of the full track, which is rumored to feature Sean Garrett.  Enjoy.

Here’s an unreleased track from Lupe which won’t be appearing on his upcoming album, Lasers, which is set to drop sometime later in 2010.  **UPDATE: Andrew says this was recorded in 2001, so it’s 9 years old….

DOWNLOAD: Lupe Fiasco – Lean (Unreleased) (MP3)

Ludacris lends a (helping) hand (cause I’m sure it’s better than the original) to Plies’ cut “Plenty Money”, which I’ve never heard.  Have fun with it.

Not necessarily a “remix” like they love to call it these days…..Juelz Santana drops a verse over Usher’s “Daddy’s Home”.  Peep the bonus as DJ ted Smooth puts his own spin on Usher’s cut as well.

Not an official remix, but Yelawolf & Rock City try their hand at the strip club anthem

Cookin’ Soul & the folks at 2dopeboyz put together this project, which I can’t explain any better than Meka did:

As many of you know, February 7th was both J DIlla’s birthday and ten years to the day of Big Pun’s passing (and February 6th being Bob Marley’s birthday). With that said, Cookin’ Soul and the dopehouse pay homage to the work of the two legends on this project featuring Big Pun raps over J Dilla instrumentals.

Int he clip below, Nas speaks on the creation of one of my favorite hip hop songs of all-time.

If you bought Wale’s Attention Deficit album on iTunes (or you frequented 5starhiphop back when it dropped) this song is probably familiar to you.  If not, the above explains why.  Check out the visuals to the bonus track from Wale’s debut album, which was directed by Tabi Bonney.
