Breaking up is hard to do. So if you've been thinking about dropping the "it's-not-me-it's-you" line and breaking up right before or on Valentine's Day and you just don't have the stones to do it, here are a few vitriolic un-love songs that do an excellent job of saying “we’re through" -- and meaning it. They're the musical equivalent of a middle finger or a slashed tire. Just IM or text your soon-to-be-ex a link to any of these songs, or give them a call and play them over the phone (or take the classic "Say Anything" approach) and consider the fact that you a.) are now single – huzzah!, and b.) saved yourself a good $50 on flowers. Plus dinner.

1.) "O.P.P." -- Naughty By Nature: There's probably no better way to say "yes, I am interested in seeing other people's... privates..." than by this Naughty By Nature standard.
2.) "Trapped In The Closet" -- R. Kelly: So so so much going on in all 22 chapters of R. Kelly's R&B soap opera. Or, just skip to the "Oh my God a rubber" part.
3.) "There's No Home For You Here" -- (Ex!) The White Stripes: Jack White repeats the song's title at least six times in this song. Because he means.
4.) "I Hate You So Much Right Now" -- Kelis: The former Mrs. Nas doesn't mince words here. In fact, she screams "I Hate You So Much Right Now," sending a crystal-clear message.
5.) "70 Times 7" -- Brand New: The line "I hope you choke and die," while extreme and inadvisable, is succinct.
6.) "I Hope You Die" -- The Bloodhound Gang: Like Kelis and Brand New, The Bloodhound Gang's "I Hope You Die" is a very literal, extremely direct way of saying "I'm just not that into you." Especially the opening line, "You must die I alone am best!" And the fact that they say "die" about 40 trillion times.
7.) "I Hate Everything About You" -- Three Days Grace: EFF YEAH, EARLY 2000s!!!
8.) "Take a Bow" -- Madonna: Nothing says "we're through" more than a sexy bullfighter and Madonna dressed like Eva Peron. Rihanna did a good job of it in her version of "Take A Bow" with the cold lyric "You look so dumb right now."
9.) "Unhappy Birthday" -- The Smiths: "Because you're evil and you lie." And that's why.
10.) "Bloody Mother F***ing A**hole" -- Martha Wainwright: Self-explanatory.

B.o.B.'s name has been passed around by rap bloggers and talent-spotters for a while now as something of a secret talent. With this performance at MTV's Spring Break 2010 in Acapulco, it looks like the secret is out.

After teasing the crowd with a little flash of Naughty By Nature's classic, "Hip Hop Hooray," B.o.B. and his pal, Bruno Mars, went about the business of playing their buttery, soulful single, "Nothin' On You."

The song seems to be a particular favorite of the ladies in the Acapulco crowd, with many of them singing along. It's not really that surprising that "Nothin' On You" is the ladies' choice. The track, taken from B.o.B.'s upcoming B.o.B. Presents The Adventures of Bobby Ray album, is an accomplished, mature look at relationships from the perspective of a former bad boy who is ready to settle down with the girl of his dreams.

Check out B.o.B.'s excellent, full-band take on "Nothin' On You," as well as his performance of the joyous "I'll Be In The Sky," both filmed at MTV's Spring Break 2010 in Acapulco, below.

UPDATE: The entire show is now available online. What are you waiting for??

Whether you're an old-school head (think Eric B & Rakim, Run DMC, Sugar Hill Gang) a recent convert (think: Eminem, 50 Cent, Weezy) or just a big-time Tracy Morgan fan (Think: "Brian Fellows' Safari Planet"), you're not gonna want to miss tonight's 2008 VH1 Hip Hop Honors.

Here, we've rounded up the best behind-the-scenes dirt, backstage photos and red carpet reportage to get you your most readiest for the big night. Here's a few reasons you'll want to tune in tonight at 10pm:

+ Tracy Morgan's hosting, and he's not afraid to give it up for the most powerful woman in politics: Tina Fey.

+ Gym Class Heroes' Travis McCoy is heading up the backstage interviews, and you won't wanna miss him reminiscing with Busta Rhymes over Slick Rick's jewels.

+ This year's honorees are some of the biggest names in hip-hop: Cypress Hill, De La Soul, Naughty By Nature, Slick Rick and Too $hort. Yahurd?

+ The performances are gonna be HOT. We're talking Kid Rock, Lil Jon, Cee-Lo, Fat Joe, Flavor Flav, Wyclef Jean and much, much more.

+ There's nothing like seeing history in the making. Find out which of this year's moments will join Nelly and Ciara's tribute to LL Cool J as one of the best moments in Hip Hop Honors' history.

+ The guys from Naughty by Nature have so many skillz they can even kick it a cappella. Hip-hop hooray!

+ You'll get to see Gym Class Heroes, Busta Rhymes, De La Soul and Bun B showing off their favorite hip hop moves. (We still say the Running Man's timeless).

+ Even the rehearsals are dope. From the Public Enemy runthrough to Travis McCoy's Cypress Hill tribute, all we can say is BRING IT.

+ And speaking of Cypress Hill, you'll want to hear why they had a police escort in Illinois. Plus find out how De La Soul passes the time when they're on the road.

+ The spontaneous infomercials. Despite his apparent lack of coordination, we're thinking Katy Perry's boyfriend might've missed his calling.

+ It's all about the style. Special shout-outs to Cee-Lo for his shiny, velour spacesuit and Biz Markie's for his 45-pound bling... thing.

PLUS, get even more prepped with videos from some of tonight's top performers and honorees. We've been waiting All Summer Long for such a Vivrant Thing, and now Something's Gotta Give before we Get Low and go Insane in the Brain. So check out hits from Cypress Hill, Naughty By Nature, Busta Rhymes and Lil Jon and try not to go loco. Like we did just there.

Ever heard the old Beatles song that goes "Oh, I get by with-a-little help from my friends?" Well, apparently so has The Game. In his latest single, "Game's Pain," the rapper (who was born Jayceon Terrell Taylor, but wisely refrained from adopting the already tainted moniker "JTT") shouts out all of his favorite old-school musical influences, including Jay-Z, Wu-Tang Clan, Naughty by Nature and Nas.

Turns out the West Coast rapper is also a longtime Will Smith fan! Because, in his words, "who didn't wanna be the Fresh Prince flat-top, gold chain and some fresh kicks?" (Answer: Nobody.)

And besides revealing that Game has a secret soft-spot for New Edition, this smooth-flowing track shows a gentler, humbler side of the gangsta rapper best known for his do-or-die rivalry with 50 Cent. You'll want to listen up for the killer vocals from Keyshia Cole and keep your eyes peeled for the cameo by Friday star (and former N.W.A. rapper) Ice Cube. That said, be prepared to squint at the excessive use of bling, the gratuitous use of a Louis Vuitton sweatband and the disconcertingly blinding shades of red.
