b-boys would have us believe.
And, on some level, they do have a valid argument. With the global economy tilted like your local pool hall’s pinball machine and Cali penitentiaries hella crowded like public housing, things just ain’t
the same for gangstas. Consequently, it’s back to bangin’ for way too
real estate and slangin’ rocks for rims in a dope spot nowhere near you.
Knowing his golden state is a little bang’d up, THE GAME g-rides through rap’s OZONE layer leaking crimson R.E.D. comments. Chilled out in a so-Cal burger joint, we rapped about why he’s so much
smarter at 30, why he and 50 never should have dismantled the “Black
Beatles,” and why his R.E.D. Album is his most street of all. Get The
Game str8 from Chuck Taylor’s bloody mouth.
They say gangsta gap is dead, G! Is that true?
That’s obviously somebody’s opinion. It ain’t mine. But I will say that what niggas consider “gangsta” is changing. Like, the hardest niggas I’d
ever seen in the hood are wearing suits now. Dressing it up. Being more
professional about themselves and aiming more at money than each other.
Niggas in the hood are taking better care of their families and shit
now, at least more than before. But as far as gangsta rap, as long as I
got Eazy Duz It and Doggystyle spinnin’ in my changer, gangsta rap will
never die.
Is society safer now that these youngsters are tryin’ to be Drake and Wale instead of Game and Snoop? Especially on the West Coast?
I’m loving the West Coast right now. Most niggas out here are on chill
and, like I said, focused more on money than mayhem. Don’t get it
twisted though. You can still turn the wrong corner and get your melon
split, but everyone is on that cool shit. I call it the “Drake Era,” and
you can print that in bold. I fuck with Drake because he is leading
this sort of cool movement that is contagious right now in Hip Hop. I
wish ‘Pac had lived to see Cali on cool like this.
When you arrived in Hip Hop, around ’02, you were grinding to get you and the homies out of the hood. You were driven to build Black Wall Street. You’re rich now and established. What’s the motivation
today?
Two boys, my sons. One is six years old and the other is two. Harlem and
Justice, man. You could put me on the Lakers and I’d score more than
Kobe with how I’m feeling right now.
I can tell, man. I hear it. I see it. The enthusiasm. The energy. I haven’t seen you this amped since The Documentary sessions.
My sons advance my thinking. Fatherhood has forced me to think ahead and
be smarter about things. I’m even more motivated to take shit over.
We’ve followed your career from the gate. And in doing so we’ve been exposed to different people in your life. I’m going to ask you about a few of those people and see where you are, today, with those
people. Let’s start with George Ausborne Taylor, Jr.
Man… (pause)… Right now, man… (longer pause)… I ain’t seen that dude in a
minute. That’s my pops. I’ve always had real mixed feeling about that
dude. I haven’t really fucked with him in a minute because of different
shit that’s going on in the family that I don’t really wanna talk about
right now, but I recorded a song about it for the R.E.D. Album. You
listen to that joint and it’s gonna bring tears to everybody eyes.
Billboard.
That’s my Beanie Sigel if I’m Jay-Z, not the [recent] beef but the unstoppable Roc empire days. If I’m Jadakiss that’s my Styles P. That’s
my nigga for life, best friend ever. But you think I’m hardheaded
(laughs)! That nigga wouldn’t listen to nobody. I’d be like, “Let’s not
go out tonight. Let’s stay in and record.” And he’d be like “Nah, I’m
riding. Serving this nigga. That nigga.” But to be honest, and that is
my nigga for life when I say this, I think the way Billboard went out,
being murdered in the streets of L.A., is how that nigga wanted to go
out. He’d already accepted that as his will and testament. Wasn’t no
convincing the nigga otherwise. But I love that nigga, man.
Carol Edith Zeigler.
Aw, man. You spinning me around the room right now. That’s my grandmother. That woman right there was a special woman. That’s my Lena
Horne. My Oprah Winfrey. My Angela Bassett. She is another person that I
lost way too soon. My grandmother is the person who called me Game. I
wish she’d lived to see where I made it to, not necessarily all the
negative shit I had to do to reach this point, but the pinnacle I’m at
now.
Lastly, I have to ask you about that little dude that was crawling around The Documentary photo shoot in chucks and a diaper. Harlem Caron.
(laughs)… Harlem is good. That dude is Tiger Woods, man. He don’t know
nothing about no hood. He doesn’t even know that I’m a rapper. He just
has fun at school. Plays soccer, baseball, little league stuff. Plays
with his toys. Harlem is all innocent and I’m grateful that I’m able to
provide that for him. But my two year old, Justice, that dude knows my
songs and shit (laughs). He knows all my business. He’s like,”‘You goin’
to tha dudio?” (laughs)
You’ve obviously enjoyed tremendous success without 50. And, in turn, he has done well without you. But deep down, real talk, is there any part of that creative business relationship you miss? Any
regrets?
I made some of the biggest songs of my career with that dude. And it’s
not about he wrote this or I wrote that, but it was just the
collaborative effort. No different from Swizz working with Cass or Jay
working with Beans or Puff working with Bigg. I miss us being the
Voltron of Hip Hop. Em, D12, Dre, Nate, me. All of that power and
creative energy and good music.
I bet Iovine misses it too.
To this day, every time I see Jimmy he says, ‘Why’d you guys have to go and break up the Black Beatles?” And, honestly man, that relationship
didn’t have to spoil. But I’m principled. Things weren’t headed in a
direction I was comfortable with and you know me. I’m not one to hold my
tongue. I’ma tell a muthafucker when shit ain’t right.
Back in the studio with the good Doctor. He and Pharrell are executive producers on this album. How’d that reunion happen?
I wouldn’t say it’s a reunion. It’s more… (pauses)… Dre was kicking it
with Snoop one day and called me to ask if I wanted to come in and work.
We should all be happy Dr. Dre ain’t God, because the world never would
have been created in seven days. It would have taken three years like
my album… but yeah, they called me and asked if I wanted to work. One
thing led to another and we’ve been working on my album ever since.
There is so much energy in your sessions right now. Skateboard P and Dre, Snoop. And to think that you were threatening us all with your retirement after L.A.X. went platinum. What changed?
I ain’t going nowhere. What happened is Hip Hop changed. And I told
people that it would on my last album. You can hear how everybody is
just having a good time. Gucci Mane, Soulja Boy, Wayne. These cats are
just having a good time and that is where Hip Hop needs to be.
I would be remiss if I didn’t talk to you about Compton. Everything from public education to public transportation to teen pregnancy rates, murder rates, violent crimes, gang-related crimes, are
through the roof. What’s it going to take for shit to change in the CPT?
50 years of dedication to changing things. See, Compton is rotten to the
core. Like you said, all the way down to the kindergarten level. By
junior high you already know that you don’t really have a good shot at
making it out. I don’t know what else I can do that I haven’t already
done. We did a lot for the hood with Black Wall Street but shit hasn’t
really improved except for a few people we helped directly.
Do you think President Obama is going to cop the R.E.D. Album?
I don’t know about cop it, but he’ll definitely have a couple songs in
his iTunes workout (laughs). Because if he cops the entire album and
listens to it his war strategy is gonna change. He’s gonna take all the
soldiers out of Iraq and send the prisoners over there instead.
What’s the biggest difference between Chuck Taylor at 20 and Chuck Taylor now, at 30?
I was a dumb, dangerous muthafucker ten years ago. Walking around with
loaded weapons and no brain. I understand life more now. I know how
things are going to end. Not when, but I know how. When is up to God’s
will. Only he knows that.
Safe to say you’re a lot richer now too, huh?
Yeah, that too (laughs). //
B.G., a prominent local hip-hop artist and longtime collaborator with superstar Lil Wayne, pleaded innocent to a gun charge Thursday in Orleans Parish Criminal District Court.
Christopher Dorsey, 29, who raps under the moniker B.G. or Baby Gangsta, was arrested with two other men in November for allegedly possessing three weapons, along with loaded magazines and two extended clips, while driving in eastern New Orleans. Police said two of the three guns had been previously reported stolen.
Officers from the NOPD's 7th District halted the late-model Chevrolet Tahoe after watching the driver commit a traffic violation, police said. Dorsey and Jerod Fedison, 18, were each booked with a count of being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. A third man, Demounde Pollard, was booked on gun and drug charges, but prosecutors later dropped the case, according to court records. Fedison, meanwhile, has pleaded innocent.
Dorsey, a resident of St. Rose, has a lengthy rap sheet, and is facing stiff penalties if found guilty on the gun charge.
A request for comment from Dorsey's publicist was not immediately returned Thursday evening.
Last year, he pleaded guilty in Jefferson Parish to driving while intoxicated and was ordered to a serve two years' probation. As part of his sentence, he was to undergo drug testing. He failed a test late last year, and was ordered in Orleans Parish on Thursday to pay $350 to the judicial expense fund and undergo another drug test next week, court records show.
Amid the mounting legal troubles, Dorsey released a well-received rap album, "Too Hood 2 Be Hollywood, " in December on Atlantic Records.
Dorsey has been rapping for more than 15 years. He grew up in Uptown, and was member of the Hot Boys ensemble, which boasts such big names as Lil Wayne, Juvenile and Young Turk.
Lil Wayne, or Dwayne Carter, an international superstar raised in Hollygrove, is facing his own legal troubles in New York. He is due to be sentenced next month on a gun charge and has a plea deal worked out that calls for a one-year stint in jail, according to the Associated Press.

Cash Money Records CEO Bryan "Baby" Williams has made a lot of wise investments over the years, but one he truly regrets is working with R. Kelly.
When asked by Ozone Magazine what his worst investment ever was Birdman said.
"Probably the worst investment I did was f*ckin’ with R. Kelly. That was a waste of my time. I could’ve made money if I wasn’t f*ckin’ with that clown-a** n*gga."
The two were supposed to record the album 'Best Of Both Worlds 2' back in 2003 but for whatever reason the album never came out.
Birdman also confirms that the star tattoo on top of his head represents an oil rig. He and his brother slim have been in the oil business for 5 years now.

Athletes are famous for being superstitious or quirky. They do things like wear the same t-shirt for every game, washed or not. Or listen to a particular song before they take the field or even eat certain meals.
In the history of athletics though none have been more strange than this list of 10 athletes compiled by the Houston Chronicle.
Let's take a look.
10. Clinton Portis
Clinton Portis likes to dress up as various characters and perform interviews as them.
There’s the Mad Scientist, who wears glasses like Geordi from Star Trek and claims that his wild hair came from sticking his finger in an electric socket.
There’s Southeast Jerome from Southeast D.C., who was on his way to the bright lights of New York to go dancing.
There’s Dr. I Don’t Know, who wears pink-rimmed glasses that used to be white, but were stained with blood during surgery, and doesn’t know why the Redskins lost 36-0 to the Giants.
There’s Dolemite Jenkins, who like to dance with men and even asked a reporter if he wanted to cut the rug. Portis later revealed that Jenkins, who rocked a red curly-haired wig and dorky glasses, was inspired by the movie Napoleon Dynamite.
There’s also Choo-Choo, Bud Foxx, Prime Minister Yah Mon, Dolla Bill...
9 Chad Ochocinco
As if changing one’s surname from Johnson to Ochocinco isn’t weird enough. Johnson is famous for his ridiculous and often hysterical touchdown celebrations.
He’s performed CPR on the ball, made a bogus proposal to a cheerleader, and held up a sign that read, “Dear NFL, Please Don’t Fine Me Again.”
He’s raced a thoroughbred for charity (he won, for the record) and has sported some of the oddest hairstyles sports have ever seen.
Ochocinco’s newest obsession is his Twitter account, which he posts on as often as 50 times a day.
Here is my personal favorite Ochocinco-ism from Twitter: "You think Brett will put me in one of those Wrangler Jeans commercials, straight up, year supply of Wranglers for Esteban, awesome."
If you're wondering, Esteban is one of his many alter egos.
8 Bill "Spaceman" Lee
Pitcher Bill Lee is perhaps the most interesting man to ever step onto a baseball diamond. He represented the counterculture in America during a time, the 1970s, when a distinct counterculture existed.
Lee was a man of the Earth. He spoke to animals, supported environmental causes, practiced yoga, and consumed A LOT of pot.
In fact, he was once fined $250 by Major League Baseball for sprinkling marijuana on his pancakes.
Lee was also well-known for his outspoken personality. A constant source of quotes for the media, Lee let loose on issues ranging from population control to school busing in Boston.
Lee was also extremely intelligent. He studied Eastern philosophy, the works of Einstein, and later wrote four books. Fittingly, Lee was a lefty. You know what they say about lefties.
7 Manny Ramirez
Manny Ramirez once high-fived a Red Sox fan in Baltimore after making a catch in left field and still found time to fire the ball back to the infield for a double play.
He once strangely massaged the head of then teammate Julian Tavarez, another odd duck, in the dugout during a game.
He spent “free time” between innings at Fenway hanging out in the Green Monster, occasionally on his cell phone.
He once made a diving catch on a relay throw from teammate Johnny Damon that wasn’t intended for him. He took his spot in left field with a water bottle in his back pocket on one occasion.
That’s just Manny Being Manny.
6 Jimmy Piersall
Piersall, an outfielder in the 1950s and 1960s, collected a laundry list of strange incidents during his playing days.
Perhaps the most well-known was the fistfight he had with Billy Martin prior to a game in 1952. I know what you’re thinking; a lot of guys probably threw hands with Billy Martin in their playing days, but Piersall’s strange behavior only begins there.
That same year he spanked the four-year old son of teammate Vern Stephens in the Red Sox clubhouse during a game.
He once stepped to the plate playing air guitar with his bat while wearing a Beatles wig and frequently talked to Babe Ruth’s bust in Monument Park when visiting Yankees Stadium.
Piersall later became the subject of the movie "Fear Strikes Out" about his battle with bipolar disorder.
Later in his life, he said, "Probably the best thing that ever happened to me was going nuts. Who ever heard of Jimmy Piersall until that happened?"
5 Turk Wendell
Wendell, a pitcher for a number of teams from 1993 to 2004, was nearly as entertaining as he was downright weird. Wendall chewed black licorice while he pitched and brushed his teeth between every inning.
Speaking of teeth, he wore necklace strung with the teeth of animals he had killed during his many hunting outings.
Wendell was also extremely superstitious. He leaped over the baseline whenever he took or left the field and required that umpires roll him the ball at the beginning of each inning instead of throwing it.
Wendell was obsessed with the movie Major League and wore the number 99 as a tribute to Charlie Sheen’s character, Ricky “Wild Thing” Vaughn.
Wendell became one of the game’s most liked players due to his quirky behaviors and eccentric personality.
4 Joe Namath
“Broadway Joe” was as unusual as he was great. The always flamboyant Namath often wore full length fur coats on the sideline.
His appearance in an ad for Beautymist pantyhose in 1974 still reigns as the strangest athlete endorsement of all time because he was shown wearing said pantyhose.
He once retired briefly to protest the NFL’s insistence that he sell his partial share in a New York City bar with mafia ties.
Despite having retired nearly 25 years ago, Namath still finds ways to put himself into the headlines.
In 2004, during an interview with ESPN sideline reporter Suzy Kolber, a drunken Namath informed Kolber that he wanted to kiss her. Soon after, Namath sought treatment for alcohol addiction
3 Mark "The Bird" Fidrych
Fidrych, whose nickname was derived from his resemblance to Big Bird, was the 1976 AL Rookie of the Year but only played until 1980.
However, he made a huge impact in his five seasons in the big leagues. Fidrych frequently spoke to the ball while on the mound and aimed it like a dart before starting his windup.
Fidrych would ask umpires to take back balls he believed “had hits in them” and insisted that they come back as pop-ups.
Fidrych became a sensation in Detroit, with attendance skyrocketing whenever he was scheduled to start.
Perhaps Fidrych’s most endearing quality was his insistence that if he wasn’t pitching in the major leagues, he would be pumping gas back in his hometown of Northborough, Mass.
2 Dennis Rodman
Oh, where to start. “The Worm” has made a career out of being different. From dyeing his hair every color over the rainbow to his rendezvous with Madonna, Rodman has always found a way to make himself the center of attention.
He married hottie Carmen Electra, and after showing up in a wedding dress to promote his autobiography, himself.
He once skipped a practice during the NBA Finals to participate in a professional wrestling bout with friend Hulk Hogan.
Rodman’s had his own reality television show, posed nude for PETA, and been in a couple of bad movies. Then there are all the piercings, the tattoos and the arrests.
Somehow along the way, he managed to win five world championships and be a seven time NBA All-Defensive First Team selection. What hasn’t Rodman done?
1 Mike Tyson
The chronicles of Mike Tyson are well known. From the early days of being Iron Mike, one of the greatest heavyweight champions of all time, to the tattoo-faced oddball we know today.
Along the way, Tyson manufactured some of the strangest and disturbing quotes in sports history. In 2002, Tyson told Lennox Lewis, “I want your heart. I want to eat your children.”
He also once advised a female reporter to stop talking unless she wanted to fornicate, because he only does interviews with women if he fornicates with them first.
While his whole life would qualify as strange, Tyson owns the holy grail of peculiar events in sports history. In 1997, Tyson bit off a piece of Evander Holyfield’s ear in the third round of their heavyweight showdown.
Tyson returned to the spotlight in 2009 with his cameo in the hilarious Vegas caper The Hangover. It’s widely believed to be his best performance since knocking out Michael Spinks in only 91 seconds in 1988.

LOS ANGELES – Dr. Dre sued the new iteration of Death Row Records on Thursday claiming the label failed to pay royalties and released a new version of his iconic album "The Chronic" without his permission.
Dre, whose real name is Andre Young, filed the suit in federal court in Los Angeles against WIDEawake Death Row Records and its parent companies.
Young has not been paid royalties on the original "The Chronic" album since he split with Death Row in 1996, the lawsuit states. The label, a one-time powerhouse of rap music artists, eventually fell into bankruptcy but was bought by WIDEawake and re-formed.
Young's lawsuit claims his attorneys notified the new owners that he was owed royalties, but they have never paid him. He also claims the label issued "The Chronic Re-Lit" and a greatest hits collection without his permission or the proper rights.
WIDEawake Death Row Records has also sold digital copies of "The Chronic" without having the proper rights, the lawsuit states. Young's original contract with Death Row didn't include digital distribution rights, according to the suit.
"When it came to paying artist royalties and honoring limits on Dr. Dre recordings that could be released, the "new" Death Row Records, to quote our client, 'forgot about Dre,'" Young's attorney Howard King said in a statement. "This lawsuit will make sure they remember."
An after-hours phone message left for Wide Awake was not immediately returned.
Young's lawsuit seeks unspecified damages of more than $75,000 for several claims, including breach of contract, false advertising, trademark infringement and misappropriation of publicity.
"The Chronic" was first released in 1992. Since then, Young has remained a top rap producer working with best-selling artists such as Snoop Dogg, Eminem and 50 Cent.

Kristin Davis better known as "The Manhattan Madam" has some lofty aspirations. The lady who is most well known for being involved in former New York Governor Elliot Spitzer's prostitute scandal has decided to run for the job he failed so miserably at.
She will be getting a big helping hand from none other than 50 Cent who according to a report on Boombox.com has offered "some of his G-Unit rap crew to work the phones"
Don't think just because Kristen ran a prostitution ring she doesn't have the brains for the job.
At a Libertarian convention over the weekend where she made the announcement she said.
"I was valedictorian of my high-school class, I worked 10 years in finance. I was vice president of a hedge fund. I went on to build a multimillion-dollar business from scratch."
She is running a "taxation as confiscation" platform, advocating legalized marijuana and prostitution,
Her advisor is Roger Stone, who worked for Reagan, Nixon and both Bushes.

"Sexy" is a relative term -- one man's baby-makin' music might be his woman's soundtrack for a snoozefest. But there's nothing subjective about this list. These are, literally, the 50 most popular songs about sex ever, as based on each song's performance on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (from August 4, 1958 -- the inception of the Hot 100 chart -- through the Jan. 16, 2010 issue). Some songs are steamy slow-jams, some are hi-octane arena-rockers -- but what they all have in common (and what got them on this list) is that the subject matter of each song is directly related to sex. No more, no less. Got it? Now let's knock some boots.
Songs are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at No. 100 earning the least. To ensure equitable representation of the biggest hits from each era, certain time frames were weighted to account for the difference between turnover rates from those years.

Urgent
Foreigner
Hot 100 Peak: 4 (9/5/1981)
Foreigner are best known for wanting to know what love is, but they weren't feeling quite as romantic on this 1981 hit about fulfilling carnal urges by whatever means necessary.
Sexiest lyric: "I'm not looking for a love that will last/ I know what I need and I need it fast"
49
She Bop
Cyndi Lauper
Hot 100 Peak: 3 (9/8/1984)
If you the want the job done right, sometimes you just have to do it yourself. Cyndi Lauper's celebration of masturbation caused some controversy, but the lyrics were vague enough to convince more clueless listeners that the song was about dancing.
Sexiest lyric: "Do I wanna go out with a lion's roar / I wanna go south n get me some more"
48
Sexy Can I
Ray J & Yung Berg
Hot 100 Peak: 3 (4/5/2008)
After his sex tape with Kim Kardashian hit the net a few years ago, R&B singer Ray J must've figured, why not make a song about it? "It's a Kodak moment, let me go and get my camera," the exhibitionist jokes on the track. Apparently, no price is too high to pay for sex for Ray J, even if it compromises his privacy.
Sexiest lyric: "Then we take it to the bed, then we take it to the floor/ Then we chill for a second, then I hit that a** some more"
47
Freak Like Me
Adina Howard
Hot 100 Peak: 2 (5/6/1995)
Raunchy singer Adina Howard might be the quintessential "lady in the streets but a freak in the bed." The R&B diva isn't ashamed to tell a man just how she likes it -- and how often she wants it -- and often refers to her sexual drive as in canine terms her. (Guess Snoop's not the only one who digs it doggystyle.)
Sexiest lyric: "Cause I will be a freak until the day until the dawn/ And we can pump, pump all through the night till the early morn"
46
Me & U
Cassie
Hot 100 Peak: 3 (7/22/2006)
It's her only hit to date, but "Me & U" was enough to establish Cassie as an object of many mens' affections. The 20-year-old singer boasts about her sexual IQ on the synth-poppy R&B jam and promises to teach her crush a thing or two between the sheets. She may sound a bit aloof at times, but teasing is apparently just one of Cassie's many talents.
Sexiest lyric: "I know them other guys, they been talking bout the way I do what I do/ They heard I was good, they wanna see if it's true/ They know you're the one I wanna give it to"
45
Wild Thing
Tone-Loc
Hot 100 Peak: 2 (2/18/1989)
Tone-Loc's career-defining single flipped the script on the Trogg's '60s hit of the same name. The gravely voiced rapper turned "wid thing" into a verb and slyly suggested that he and his prospects get busy over a sample of Van Halen "Jamie's Cryin."
Sexiest lyric: "Took her to the limousine still parked outside / I tipped the chauffeur when it was over, and I gave her my own ride"
44
I Want Your Sex
George Michael
Hot 100 Peak: 2 (8/8/1987)
You have to respect George Michael for telling it like it is. While other '80s pop stars masked their desires behind veiled references and innuendos, George tested the limits of censorship and told his prospective lover exactly what he wanted. Radio stations across the world flinched at his brazenness, but the song still shot all the way to No. 2 in the U.S.
Sexiest lyric: "Every man's got his patience, and here's where mine ends/ I want your sex"
43
Dim All The Lights
Donna Summer
Hot 100 Peak: 2 (11/10/1979)
Donna Summer's 1979 hit sounds like nice song to sway to at the prom. But the groove becomes decidedly horizontal once the song hits the bridge and she demands her lover to "use me all up / take me bottom to top." Bad girl, for real!
Sexiest lyric: "Don't leave even one drop / no, do it tonight / You know the moments are right / turn my brown body white"
42
Raspberry Beret
Prince
Hot 100 Peak: 2 (7/20/1985)
This Princely mid-'80s hit is a sly tribute to innocence lost, with the titular head-topper serving as a metaphor for a virgin's undefiled hymen. And you thought "Little Red Corvette" was racy.
Sexiest lyric: "They say the first time ain't the greatest/ but I tell ya, if I had the chance 2 do it all again/ I wouldn't change a stroke"
41
Rub You The Right Way
Johnny Gill
Hot 100 Peak: 3 (8/4/1990)
A man who offers to use his hands wisely during a night of lovin' makes for a very compelling pitch. It's no wonder then that former New Edition member Johnny Gill broke big with this new-jack swinging solo hit.
Sexiest lyric: "Can you feel the magic in my hands / When I touch and rub you the right way / Stroke applied with tenderness / When I hold and rub you the right way"
40
Slow Motion
Juvenile feat. Soulja Slim
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for two wks (8/7/2004)
His moniker might be Juvenile, but there's nothing infantile about the way the New Orleans rapper raps his sex game. While Juvie may not exactly be whispering sweet nothings in his girl's ear, he sure knows how to get her attention.
Sexiest lyric: "If you loving my bark let me bury my bone/ I got 4 or 5 bad merry b****es at home
39
Feel Like Makin' Love
Roberta Flack
Hot 100 Peak: 1 (8/10/1974)
The 1974 hit song for Robert Flack garnered the singer and producer three Grammy nominations, and sealed her place in baby-makin'-music history. Simple and to the point, this smooth groove was the gathering clouds for the future quiet storm revolution that would take over R&B a decade later.
Sexiest lyric: "When you talk to me, when you're moanin' sweet & low/ When you're touchin' me and my feelin's start to show"
38
Pillow Talk
Sylvia
Hot 100 Peak: 3 (6/9/1973)
You know you're on to something when your song is too sexy for Rev. Al Green. The soul legend reportedly turned down this steamy number before it was recorded by Sylvia in 1973, who was more than happy to spend a full two minutes panting, sighing and talking dirty in Spanish. ¡Caliente!
Sexiest lyric: "Ooh, I don't wanna see you be no fool/ What I'm teachin' you tonight/ Boy, you'll never learn it in school"
37
Pour Some Sugar on Me
Def Leppard
Hot 100 Peak: 2 (7/23/1988)
Today's arena-sized rockers just don't do clever come-ons like they used to. Def Leppard's fist-pumping anthem celebrating sexual release still stands as one of the '80s all-time greatest, with a chorus even your grandma can hum along to.
Sexiest lyric: "You got the peaches I got the cream / Sweet to taste saccharine"
36
Bump N' Grind
R. Kelly
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for four wks (4/9/1994)
There are two things R. Kelly doesn't see anything wrong with -- one of them is bumping, and the other is grinding. The baddest boy of R&B puts his sexual desires on front street on this steamy track, as he let's the woman of his desire know that he can bust her pipes better -- and more often -- than her current man can.
Sexiest Lyric: "See I know just what you want and I know just what you need, girl/ So baby bring your body to me"
35
Unskinny Bop
Poison
Hot 100 Peak: 3 (9/1/1990)
Before Bret Michaels started looking for his "Rock of Love," the Poison frontman preferred his ladies with as few strings as possible. Guitarist C.C. DeVille has confessed that the phrase "unskinny bop" doesn't really mean anything, but that hasn't prevented listeners from using their imaginations.
Sexiest lyric: "You're sayin' my love won't do ya/ But that ain't love written on your face/ Well honey I can see right through ya/ We'll see whose ridin' who at the end of the race"
34
Sexual Healing
Marvin Gaye
Hot 100 Peak: 3 (1/29/1983)
Marvin Gaye entered the '80s with this "do me" classic -- making him one of a handful of artists who helped men seal the deal over different decades. With its gospel-style chant and 808 drumbeat, the songs remains the template for contemporary R&B slow jams.
Sexiest lyric: "Baby I'm hot just like an oven/ I need some lovin'"
33
Love To Love You Baby
Donna Summer
Hot 100 Peak: 2 (2/7/1976)
Donna Summer's epic 16-minute orgasm, set to a thick, throbbing Georgio Morodor beat, helped usher in the 12-inch single and the extended remix -- not to mention many an extended bedroom session in the sexually-free '70s.
Sexiest lyric: "Do it to me again and again/ You put me in such an awful spin"
32
Lady Marmalade
Labelle
Hot 100 Peak: 1 (3/29/1975)
Christina Aguilera, Pink, Lil' Kim and Mya rode this classic to seductive success in 2001, but Patti Labelle and co.'s tale of a bi-lingual New Orleans call girl -- and her ability to leave men crying for more, more, more! -- really dropped jaws in the '70s. It's more than enough incentive to bring tourists back to the Big Easy.
Sexiest lyric: "Voulez-vouz coucher avec moi, ce soir?"
31
Slegehammer
Peter Gabriel
Hot 100 Peak: 1 (7/26/1986)
This '80s smash by Peter Gabriel doesn't sound particularly sexy, but a good read of the song's lyrics will leave you flush-faced, as the British singer weaves a tapestry of sexual innuendos involving steam trains, honey bees and "big dippers." What, you thought it was about work tools?
Sexiest lyric: "Open up your fruitcage, where the fruit is as sweet as can be"
30
Work It
Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott
Hot 100 Peak: 2 (11/16/2002)
Missy's not afraid to break a sweat -- she just wants to know the size of the task at hand. If the eye-poppingly suggestive lyrics in this tongue-twisting booty call didn't register with listeners (those backwards verses can get confusing), the Prince impersonator licking her body in the video should have driven the point home.
Sexiest lyric: "You do or you don't or you will or won't cha / Go downtown and eat it like a vulcha?"
29
Slow Hand
The Pointer Sisters
Hot 100 Peak: 2 (8/29/1981)
The easy slide of this '81 ballad praises a man who knows how to take his time. The arrangement also lent itself to a country classic -- Conway Twitty made his own version, from the understanding man's perspective, a year later.
Sexiest lyric: "I want a lover with an easy touch/ I want somebody who will spend some time/ Not come and go in a heated rush"
28
All I Want To Do Is Make Love To You
Heart
Hot 100 Peak: 2 (5/26/1990)
Heart scored their first hit of the '90s with this song about a rainy roadside pickup and its ensuing, steamy one-night stand. The lyrics go on to reveal that the woman in the story winds up getting knocked up, proving that even in pop music, lusty affairs are not without their consequences.
Sexiest lyric: "So we found this hotel/ It was a place I knew well/ We made magic that night/ Oh, he did everything right"
27
Love In This Club
Usher feat. Young Jeezy
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for three wks (3/15/2008)
After Usher finished making his public "Confessions," the fancy-footworker took to making love in the club with R&B diva Keri Hilson, who plays his leading lady in the video for the bass and synth-heavy chart-topper. Isn't there anything that Usher prefers to keep behind closed doors?
Sexiest lyric: "Let's go get undressed right here/ Keep it up girl and I swear/ I'mma give it to you nonstop/ And I don't care who's watching"
26
Romantic
Karyn White
Hot 100 Peak: 1 (11/2/1991)
R&B diva Karyn White scored a massive hit in the '80s with this upbeat jam about what happens when the lights go down. The track was produced by White's then-husband Terry Lewis (and his partner Jimmy Jam), which certainly set some sparks ablaze in the studio.
Sexiest lyric: "Under the moonlight, with the stars shining so bright/ Baby, my mind is on love when we get home tonight, ooh"
25
Smack That
Akon feat. Eminem
Hot 100 Peak: 2 (11/4/2006)
Neither Akon nor Eminem may be the sexiest of symbols, but the playful harmonies and rhythmic melodies on this track had clubbers getting some action on the dancefloor. And for once, Slim isn't so shady on the song, as he raps about taking a girl back to his place instead of putting his alleged relationship with Mariah Carey on blast once again.
Sexiest lyric: "Maybe go to my place and just kick it like Tae Bo/ And possibly bend you over, look back and watch me smack that"
24
Ignition
R. Kelly
Hot 100 Peak: 3 (3/29/2003)
The king of freaky-deaky anthems hit his creative peak with this ode to automotive copulation. Sure, the metaphor gets so extended that it borders on cheesiness, but anyone who takes it too seriously probably isn't getting their gears greased often enough.
Sexiest lyric: "See, I'll be doin' about 80 on your freeway/ Girl, I won't stop until I drive you crazy."
23
Do Me!
Bell Biv Devoe
Hot 100 Peak: 3 (9/8/1990)
Bumping 'n grinding is all anyone wanted to do after hearing Bell Biv Devoe's "Do Me," although the song itself is something of a mind trip. "What makes you think you can do me?" the trio challenges, then promises that the girl can "do me when you wanna do me" in the next breath. Huh? Maybe BBD were were "Poison" ones after all.
Sexiest lyric: " Move to the Jacuzzi, ooh, that booty/ Smack it up, flip it, rub it down, oh, nooo!"
22
Freak Me
Silk
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for two wks (5/1/1993)
For the men of Silk, nothing is out of bounds when it comes to pleasing a woman. In the group's slow-burning ballad, one member whispers his proposal for 360-degree pleasure while the others seduce with suave harmonies about trips around the world and fulfilling every fantasy imaginable. Freakiness has never sounded so … comprehensive.
Sexiest lyric: "Let me lick you up and down, 'til you say stop/ Let me play with your body, baby, make you real hot"
21
Shake You Down
Gregory Abbott
Hot 100 Peak: 1 (1/17/1987)
This song's title is a euphemism for what Mr. Abbott wants do once he gets his woman in bed. The soul crooners assures his girl she'll go all the way to "heaven," and to convince her, he drops poetic pillow talk like "Roses are red and violets are blue, I'm gonna rock this world for you." (Really? She said yes after that line?)
Sexiest lyric: "I can't stop thinking of the things we do/ The way you call me, baby, when I'm holding you"
20
Afternoon Delight
Starland Vocal Band
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for two wks (7/10/1976)
The naive melody and wide-eyed harmonies of this '70s pop classic, which was famously covered in Will Farrell's 2004 "Anchorman" film, sound sweet enough to soundtrack a church picnic. In reality, the song is a lunchtime booty-call between a hungry man and his tasty morsel back home. Sounds like our kind of snack.
Sexiest lyric: "Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite/ And the thought of rubbin' you is getting so exciting"
19
Candy Shop
50 Cent feat. Olivia
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for nine wks (3/5/2005)
Fiddy proved he was a lover, as well as a fighter, in this salacious rap duet with G-Unit diva Olivia. 50 sweetly works up his lover's desires with sugary innuendos that would make Willy Wonka blush.
Sexiest lyric: "I'll take you to the candy shop, I'll let you lick the lollipop"
18
The First Night
Monica
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for five wks (10/3/1998)
These days, 29-year-old Monica is an engaged, proud mother of two. But when the R&B singer was a teenager, she was preaching abstinence. Although tempted to go all the way on the first date, the Atlanta native responsibly practices self-restraint atop this Jermaine Dupri-produced track.
Sexiest lyric: "Boy this evening, was it only me?/ Feeling completely, down to be open ... for some satisfaction/ Didn't want to say yes, for fear of your reaction"
17
Ring My Bell
Anita Ward
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for two wks (6/30/1979)
Anita Ward's 1979 disco hit became a dancefloor favorite for its memorable, sing-songy chorus -- but there's nothing roundabout about the song's lyrics, which are about what happens when her man gets back from a hard day.
Sexiest lyric: "Well lay back and relax while I put away the dishes/ Then you and me can rock-a-bye/ You can ring my be-e-ell"
16
Promiscuous
Nelly Furtado feat. Timbaland
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for six wks (7/8/2006)
Timbaland plays a seductive, bass-heavy game of cat and mouse with Nelly Furtado in this monstrous 2006 jam. Thomas Crown and Steve Nash get caught up in the steamy flirtation, but we're still left wondering if anybody scored at the end of the night. What a tease.
Sexiest lyric: "I can see you with nothing on/ Feeling on me before you bring that on"
15
You're Makin' Me High
Toni Braxton
Hot 100 Peak: 1 (7/27/1996)
Toni Braxton is singing about her sexual desires for a far-away lover on this mellow, suggestive track, but verses like the one below make the song seem like an endorsement of self-stimulation. If you can't be with the one you love ... love yourself?
Sexiest lyric: "I can imagine you touching my private parts/ With just the thought of you, I can't help but touch myself"
14
I Want To Sex You Up
Color Me Badd
Hot 100 Peak: 2 (6/8/1991)
With its new-jack-swing groove and tender falsetto vocals, CMB made sexual healing sound as gentle as can be. And as "Mr. Schue" recently proved on "Glee," covering this song is still the ultimate way for nerdy guys to get their crush's attention.
Sexiest lyric: "Let me take off all your clothes/ Disconnect the phone so nobody knows, yeah"
13
Bad Girls
Donna Summer
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for five wks (7/17/1979)
Donna Summer's strategy was to become the undisputed dirty diva of disco. She helped her cause with this booty-movin' plea for hooker respect, which came complete with trumpets bleating like a john's car horn. Bad girl, indeed.
Sexiest lyric: "Friday night and the strip is hot/ Sun's gone down and they're about to trot/ Spirit's high and they look hot/ Do you wanna get down?"
12
Lollipop
Lil Wayne
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for five wks (5/3/2008)
Candy metaphors in music go back at least as far as Little Richard ("Tutti Frutti," now what's THAT song about?) but Lil' Wayne raised the bar in this track about his lover's, er, oral fixation. Lest you think he isn't a gentleman, Wayne devotes a verse to returning the favor.
Sexiest lyric: "Shawty wanna hump/ You know I like to touch your lovely lady lumps"
11
Honky Tonk Women
The Rolling Stones
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for four wks (8/23/1969)
The Rolling Stones managed to mix sex and drugs with its rock n' roll in this nod to ladies of the night. Keith Richards' loose fretwork and Mick Jagger's loose lips pay respect to loose women everywhere.
Sexiest lyric: "I laid a divorcee in New York City/ I had to put up some kind of a fight/ The lady then she covered me with roses/ She blew my nose and then she blew my mind"
10
Da Ya Think I'm Sexy
Rod Stewart
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for four wks (2/10/1979)
Rod Stewart's disco-era anthem squeezes an entire one-night-stand narrative into a few short stanzas. Only one question, Rod: why did you call your mother before closing the deal?
Sexiest lyric: "His heart's beating like a drum 'cos at last he's got this girl home/ Relax baby, now we are alone"
9
Kiss You All Over
Exile
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for four wks (9/30/1978)
This late-'70s hit anticipates a couple's many hours of creative lovemaking. Even more creative was the Canadian Broadcasting Company's use of the song in a 2007 montage of hockey players kissing the Stanley Cup. (Yeah, we suppose that's one thing to do with it.)
Sexiest lyric: "Gonna wrap my arms around you, hold you close to me/ Oh, babe, I wanna taste your lips, I wanna fill your fantasy"
8
Like A Virgin
Madonna
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for six wks (12/22/1984)
The idea of a woman named Madonna singing about being "touched for the very first time" was titillating, for sure. But Bible Belters lost their minds when the suggestive song began racing up the '80s charts, fearing their children would fall prey to Madge's naughty innuendos and arousing imagery. Guess what? We did.
Sexiest lyric: "Oooh, like a virgin/ Feels so good inside"
7
Do That To Me One More Time
Captain & Tennille
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for four wks (6/21/1975)
The Captain and Tennille retuned to the top of the charts with this simple yet subtle ode to male virility; a sweet-sounding song that also succinctly summed up wild and loose ways of the 1970s.
Sexiest lyric: "Do that to me one more time/ Once is never enough with a man like you"
6
Hot Stuff
Donna Summer
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for three wks (6/2/1979)
"Hot Stuff" won Donna Summer the 1980 Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance, but all she really needed in her bedroom was some action. The song made a memorable comeback in 1997's "The Full Monty," but it has remained a hot 'n' bothered anthem on retro dancefloors for years.
Sexiest lyric: "Wanna share my love with a warm blooded lover/ Wanna bring a wild man back home"
5
Let's Get It On
Marvin Gaye
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for two wks (9/8/1973)
Marvin Gaye's sweetly soulful voice was an aphrodisiac in and of itself; thus, he rarely resorted to subtleties when it came to his lyrics. "Let's Get It On" remains one of the most blatant sex songs of all time; the soul-music equivalent of a sure thing.
Sexiest lyric: "Don't you know how sweet and wonderful life can be?/ I'm asking you, baby, to get it on with me"
4
Too Close
Next
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for five wks (4/25/1998)
The Minneapolis trio could barely contain its excitement on this raunchy track. R.L, Terry and Raphael moan and groan about their female dance partner's "grindin'" and "shakin'" -- and their respective bulges as a result -- atop a Chicago-style step dance production. Hopefully, the men made it off the dancefloor without any vasocongestion (look it up).
Sexiest lyric: "Baby when we're grinding, I get so excited/ Ooh, how I like it, I try but I can't fight it"
3
I'll Make Love To You
Boyz II Men
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for 14 wks (8/27/1994)
Although more polite with its sexual innuendos than other early-'90s baby-makin' tracks, the Philly quartet hit all the right spots with this chart-topping ballad. Some lyrics are so subdued, in fact, that the penguins from the 2006 animated film "Happy Feet" used them for a "heartsong." How ... cute?
Sexiest lyric: "Throw your clothes, on the floor/ I'm gonna take my clothes off too/ I made plans to be with you"
2
Tonight's The Night
Rod Stewart
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for eight wks (11/13/1976)
Using his pack-a-day croon to maximum effect, Mr. Sexy is anything but coy in this ballad about getting his "virgin child" a nice big drink, helping her off with her dress and sweet talking her into her first time. From the woman moaning in French at song's end -- a cameo by Stewart's then-girlfriend, Bond girl Britt Ekland -- tonight was, apparently, the night.
Sexiest lyric: "You'd be a fool to stop this tide/ Spread your wings and let me come inside"
1
Physical
Olivia Newton-John
Hot 100 Peak: 1 for 10 wks (11/21/1981)
While the well-known video features Olivia Newton-John working out at a gym, the song "Physical" touts the benefits of a different kind of workout. The 1982 hit was so suggestive that it was banned by many radio stations across the globe -- as well as the entire country of South Africa. But the not-so-innocent Australian girl-next-door scored the biggest hit of the '80s and proved, once and for all, that sex sells ... mountains of records, that is.
Sexiest lyric: "I took you to an intimate restaurant, then to a suggestive movie/ There's nothing left to talk about unless it's horizontally

The brutal beating and robbery of a girl in a Seattle bus tunnel has been caught on tape -- along with the inaction of three security guards from whom she sought protection.
A teen girl and three young men face first-degree robbery charges stemming from the attack, during which they allegedly stole the 15-year-old's purse, phone, and iPod.
The 15-year-old victim, who is black, told cops the altercation began at a nearby Macy's, where some in the group taunted her saying she had "nice things" and acts "white," according to court papers filed Wednesday. One of the defendants claims the victim pepper-sprayed a person in the group.
Two Seattle police officers noticed the escalating situation and kicked the group out of the store, then brought the girl and her friend to another exit, the victim said. She reported that she asked the officers for an escort to the bus tunnel, just below the department store, but the officers refused.
She said she then deliberately stood next to the security guards in hopes of warding off further confrontation.
"I went to the security and told them that these kids were trying to jump me," the girl said. "I know that I am about to get jumped and I am hanging around the guards to try and get protection. ... I thought the security guards would defend me."
The guards didn't intervene, though. They have standing orders to "observe and report," so they called police but did nothing else as another 15-year-old girl punched and repeatedly kicked the victim in the head.
King County Sheriff's Sgt. John Urquhart said the guards were right to follow their training.
"If you're a bank teller and you do something other than give them the money, you're going to get fired," Urquhart said. "We don't expect civilians to take police action. In this case, it was a violent fight, and they were outnumbered by this pack of people 3-to-1."
Other Kings County officials disagree.
"We are very disappointed in what people see in that video," a transit official, Kevin Desomond, said. "It was absolutely unacceptable."
Government officials as well as executives at Olympic Security Services Inc., which employs the guards, are reviewing protocol in the wake of the incident.

When Matt Kemp decided to jet off to Mexico with Rihanna, he was not expecting the amount of press and scrutiny that later ensued. Speaking up this week, Kemp says the whole ordeal with Rihanna as a 'friend' is really "not that big a deal."
"She's just a friend, a good friend of mine and we went down to Mexico and had fun together," Kemp told MLB this week. "I didn't think all that would come out of it, it just happened. I'm not used to that much attention to my personal life."
As previously reported, rumors that Rihanna and Kemp were 'involved' and 'dating' at one point broke shortly after their vacation in Mexico. Rihanna, speaking of the rumors in recent weeks, has told press "I'm single".
Nonetheless, Kemp, a Los Angeles Dodgers athlete, refuses to let the rumors and scrutiny get to him.
"It's really not that big a deal," Kemp tells MLB. "But in L.A., doing things here, you're under a microscope, they're examining everything you're doing. It's L.A., man, the city we live in. It is what it is. Can't control what happens."
"My job is to get my work in, which I've been doing. Nothing distracts me from my job, not the contract, or my personal life. When it's time to play baseball, that's my job. No distractions."
In related news, Rihanna was spotted in Seoul, South Korea Wednesday. She is reportedly in Seoul for a promotional event.
Toni Braxton is throwing her hat into an already crowded reality tv show ring.
Rap-Up is reporting the six time Grammy Award winning singer is going to debut her show titled “Braxton Family Values” this fall on Bravo.
Featuring Toni, her mom and sister Tamar the show promises to be entertaining and drama filled according to Toni.
In other Toni Braxton news she is wrapping up her new album 'Pulse' and is looking to have a duet with Usher on the album. She told Rap-Up “I think me and Usher are gonna do something together,”
“Usher’s great. He’s like my brother in the business. Love, love, love him! We’re both represented by AEG [Live CEO] Randy Phillips, so Randy’s gonna definitely make it happen.”
'Pulse' is scheduled to be released on May 4.

NEW YORK – John Mayer is apologizing for his mouth.
The Grammy-winner took to his Twitter page to make amends for his latest inflammatory comments — this time, in the March edition of Playboy.
In it, he calls former girlfriend Jessica Simpson "sexual napalm" and says Jennifer Aniston is a technophobe who wishes she could go back to her career prime in 1998. He also uses the N-word.
On Twitter Wednesday afternoon, he apologized for the racial epithet and said he has to stop "trying to be so raw in interviews."
"It started as an attempt to not let the waves of criticism get to me, but it's gotten out of hand and I've created somewhat of a monster," Mayer tweeted. "I wanted to be a blues guitar player. And a singer. And a songwriter. Not a shock jock. I don't have the stomach for it."
There were plenty who didn't have the stomach for his remarks in Playboy, in which he talked about Simpson's sexuality, his problems with Aniston, his love of porn, why he doesn't date black women and being beloved by the black community.
"Someone asked me the other day, 'What does it feel like now to have a hood pass?' And by the way, it's sort of a contradiction in terms, because if you really had a hood pass, you could call it a nigger pass,'" he said, then added: "But I said, 'I can't really have a hood pass. I've never walked into a restaurant, asked for a table and been told, 'We're full.'"
Mayer said he should have never have used the N-word in any context and will never say it again.
"And it's such a shame that I did because the point I was trying to make was in the exact opposite spirit of the word itself. It was arrogant of me to think I could intellectualize using it, because I realize that there's no intellectualizing a word that is so emotionally charged," he said.
The racial comments were hardly the only explosive comments in the interview. He said he still loved Aniston, but then noting their age difference (she just turned 41), he said: "I can't change the fact that I need to be 32."
He also said she didn't appreciate new technology: "The brunt of her success came before TMZ and Twitter. I think she's still hoping it goes back to 1998. She saw my involvement in technology as courting distraction. And I always said, 'These are the new rules,'" he said.
Of Simpson, he talked about her sexual ability, and said: "That girl, for me, is a drug ... That girl is like crack cocaine to me."
In the interview, he also explained why he didn't date black women, comparing his genitals to "a white supremacist."
Mayer — known for his loose tongue — has made a habit out of outlandish comments. Last month, he gave an interview with Rolling Stone where he talked openly about his love life, including sex with other women — and himself.
