"Touchin, Lovin" featuring Nicki Minaj - Trey Songz and Nicki Minaj give R. Kelly and The Notorious B.I.G.'s classic "F--k You Tonight" a reworking for "Touchin, Lovin." It's all about who can turn who out here as the man who invented sex proclaims,"Girl you f----n' with the best/Take a picture while I’m deep up in it/Oh-oh-oh, and if they living right next/Then I bet they know my name in a minute."(Photo: Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images for DCP)
Ja Rule, "I'm Real" ft. Jennifer Lopez - Being able to hit a note was the ultimate gift and a curse for Ja Rule. Hip hop purists mocked the Murda Inc. star for his melodic abilities, but his career reached new levels when he unleashed his gruff baritone on Jennifer Lopez's 2001 single "I’m Real.” Ja helped push the song to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and his talents as a crooner were in high demand soon after. Surely we all know what brought his reign to an end.   (Photo: Frank Micelotta/ImageDirect)
Fabolous Featuring Tamia: "So Into You" - Fab gave CPR to Tamia’s ’98 single when he covered it for his Street Dreams LP five years later. The album’s original version featured Ashanti, but when she couldn’t make the video, Fab re-released it with Tamia reprising her old hook. Smart move! The song peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The original had only made it to No. 4.Don't miss Tamia tonight on 106 & Park!(Photos: Scott Gries/PictureGroup; Ben Rose/PictureGroup)Drake and Rihanna - Springtime is for lovers and there are plenty of new couples heating up Hollywood.

Does "Drihanna" have a chance, or will this fling be over before summer vacation? (Photo: REUTERS/Lucy Nicholson)
