Ladies Love Cool … Cornel?

The latest MP3s to hit the blogs.

1. Cornel West feat. Talib Kweli, “Bushonomics�
Unless Just Blaze starts returning Paul Krugman’s phone calls, this is probably the best rap single by a Princeton University faculty member you’ll hear this year. [Nah Right]

2. Justin Timberlake, “LoveStoned� (Justice remix)
The French duo remake Timberlake’s original with 50 percent more synthesizer flatulence. Unsurprisingly excellent. [The Music Slut]

3. Eve feat. Sean Paul, “Give It to You�
Sean Paul advertises his sexual services. To her credit, Eve sounds uninterested. [Between Thought and Expression]

4. Zach Condon, “The Electric Show�
An early scratch demo by the Beirut front man, recorded when blog acclaim was still but a faraway dream. [The Torture Garden]

5. Built to Spill, “They Got Away�
One unanticipated but awesome effect of climate change is that indie-rock bands from Boise, Idaho, are now writing dub-reggae songs.
[Idolator]

6. Raekwon Presents … Ice Water, “Hip Hop Tribute�
If this new single is any indication, Raekwon’s latest project is certainly worthy of his legacy as the sixth most important member of Wu-Tang Clan. [Nah Right]
