New Song: Clinton Sparks Featuring Macklemore + 2 Chainz + D.A., 'Gold Rush' (NSFW)

Clinton Sparks teams up with Macklemore and 2 Chainz on his new jam, "Gold Rush."

It's one thing to get 2 Chainz and Chester French's D.A. Wallach to cameo on your record, but getting Macklemore to pop by for a spitfire verse is QUITE another (no shade). But we guess that's just a testament to mega-producer Clinton Sparks' new jam, "Gold Rush," which is the perfect blend of rock, electro, and hip-hop all smushed into one giant sparkling pop record.

Listen to the full version of The-Dream's "Turnt" featuring Beyoncé and 2 Chainz.

It's a big day in Beyoncé land! (Side note: If that land has any available one-bedroom apartments, HIT ME UP!)

PRAISE OUR QUEEN.

B.o.B goes gaga over a girl on his new jam, "HeadBand."

B.o.B is not a follower -- he's a leader and a trendsetter. (Have you seen his sunglasses?) But on his new song "HeadBand" featuring 2 Chainz, from his upcoming Underground Luxury album, Bobby Bands is joining in on a tried-and-true pastime in music: adding nonstop whistling to your song. You know, the kind of whistling that appears in songs like "Moves Like Jagger," "Whistle," "I Wanna Go," "Home," "The Lazy Song" -- you get the idea. And B's not just whistling for his health in "HeadBand"; he's smitten with a particularly FOINE lady. (Though we hope he's not whistling in the pass-by-a-construction-site way. That's NEVER a good look.)

Listen To A Preview Of The-Dream Featuring Beyonce & 2 Chainz's 'Turnt'

Get "Turnt" UP with The-Dream, Beyoncé, and 2 Chainz.

If we have to wait a minute for a new Beyoncé album (girl is pretty busy with her "Mrs. Carter Show World Tour"), then we'll just have to get our fix elsewhere! Come to think of it, we have seen a recent influx of "Bey Bounty": First, we heard a snippet of "Grown Woman" in Beyoncé's Pepsi ad, Beyoncé covered Amy Winehouse's "Back To Black" for the Great Gatsby soundtrack, we heard a preview of "Rise Up" from the Epic soundtrack, and now we get to hear even MORE Beyoncé on an extended preview of The-Dream's new record, "Turnt," also featuring 2 Chainz.

Wiz Khalifa and 2 Chainz team up for "We Own It (Fast & Furious)" from the "Fast & Furious 6" soundtrack.

Wiz and 2 Chainz ride together on their new track from the "Fast & Furious 6" soundtrack.

When we heard there'd be a new song to kick off the upcoming summer blockbuster "Fast & Furious 6," we kind of secretly hoped that the film's star, Vin Diesel, would pick up the mic again. (His "Stay" rendition was impeccable!) But even if Vin Diesel isn't contributing to the soundtrack, at least the film's producers got Wiz Khalifa and 2 Chainz to fill in with an inspirational, never-say-die anthem: "We Own It."

Robin Thicke gives us a future-club vibe on the will.i.am produced "Give It To You."

Robin Thicke explores a futuristic club vibe on the will.i.am-produced "Give It To You."

Robin Thicke doesn't strike us as a club-hopping, neon lights, up-all-night kind of dude. Nope, he seems more like an "ultrasmooth lounge/refined bourbon" type -- just listen to "Blurred Lines" if you don't believe us. But our snap judgments could never stop a talented singer like Robin from KILLING IT in all genres, which is all too clear on his new will.i.am-produced jam "Give It To You" (featuring 2 Chainz and Kendrick Lamar), from his forthcoming Blurred Lines album. But enough talking; let's dance!

2 Chainz films a grainy, ominous clip with a wandering bride with The Weeknd for his new video "Like Me."

2 Chainz throws a ski mask on for his grimy new "Like Me" video.

Ideally, weddings should be all about love, family, overeating, and maybe some tipsy dancing to Journey's "Don't Stop Believing." So we can't for the life of us figure out what is going on in 2 Chainz's new video "Like Me" (from his Grammy-nominated Based On A T.R.U. Story), featuring a lonesome bride wandering through the empty streets with a bottle of champagne in her hand. Was she stood up at the altar? Did she get cold feet? Was she mad about 2 Chainz showing up to the ceremony (IF he showed up, that is) in a Chanel ski mask? Did 2 Chainz get that Chanel mask from Justin Bieber??

He was like the uncle I never had," Cudi said. (MTV News)

+ We're not sure who these "insiders" are, but if they're telling the truth, Selena Gomez's impromptu flight last week to Oslo, Norway, where her ex (?) Justin Bieber was performing was no coincidence. "They met up privately later... It was a personal visit," insiders told E! (E!)
