Pop diva Madonna gets some help from hip-hop super-producers Timbaland and the Neptunes' Pharrell Williams on her upcoming album, 'Hard Candy,' due April 29.

The singer's follow-up to 2005's disco smash 'Confessions on a Dancefloor' brings her back to the clubs, but this time with a hip-hop/R&B vibe. The expected first single, 'Four Minutes,' features vocals from Justin Timberlake, who will induct Madonna into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 10. Madge once again delves into rapping (see the awkward "latte" and "Pilates" rhymes on 'American Life'), but this time out the singer rhymes about "reinvention" over a tough, bass-heavy track, courtesy of Timbaland and Nate "Danja" Hills.

Pharrell adds some flavor to the diva's new project on the track 'Give It to Me,' which features a signature Neptunes spacecraft breakdown mid-track. The singer mellows out on the acoustic-tinged ballad 'Miles Away.' As the title suggests, the pop star sings about long-distance love and cries, "When I'm gone, you realize I'm the best thing that's happened to you."

While there are no official tour plans, fans can expect the superstar to unveil new material at intimate venues in Paris, London and New York.

Busta Rhymes is teaming up with Linkin Park on the track 'It Looks Like We Made It' on his upcoming album, 'Back on My BS,' due December 4.

Rhymes isn't the first rap star to collaborate with the rockers; Jay-Z and Linkin Park joined forces for 2004's mash-up album 'Collision Course.' Busta hopes to draw on the success of the rap-rock stage set by Jigga with the Cool and Dre-produced track.

"This song speaks volumes to the globe -- it ain't just about the 'hood, it ain't just about the suburbs, it's about everybody," Busta told Rolling Stone. "This is one of those songs that can't be described better than touching the souls of common people."

Song: 'Hurt'
Why You Should Watch: No flashy cars. No sexy girls. No problem. T.I. takes it back to basics in the video for the third single off 'T.I. vs T.I.P.'

According to the intro of the leaked track 'Hood Star,' Bow Wow and Omarion's upcoming album, 'Face Off,' is "what the world has been waiting for." Good news for fans: the wait is whittled down to just two more months. The duo will release their highly-anticipated collaborative effort in December.

'Hood Star' touts the massive success between the two and with zero exaggeration given that the pair's last joint effort, 'Let Me Hold You' -- the first single from Bow Wow's 2005 album, 'Wanted' -- peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was that song that earned Bow Wow his first-ever Top 10 single, and Omarion -- formerly of B2K -- his first Top 10 as a solo artist.

As if a Bow Wow-Omarion album weren't heavyweight enough, 'Face Off' will also feature a slew of chart toppers, including Ciara, Timbaland, Jermaine Dupri and Akon.

David Banner isn't lacking ambition. Banner, who appeared in 'Black Snake Moan' and an episode of the hit USA series 'Monk,' is furthering is acting career with roles in the upcoming 'This Christmas,' with Chris Brown, and 'Days of Wrath.' This is in addition to his work as a producer on his Cartoon Network show, 'That Crook'd 'Sipp.'

Fans of Banner's music, however, need not fret. Banner returns with his forthcoming album, 'Greatest Story Ever Told,' which features collaborations with Akon, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, and Snoop Dogg, among others. '"I'm looking forward to putting an album out before the end of the year," he says. "We're just getting geared up."

Those outside interests have been a boon to the music he believes. "It's the force of the music that's allowing me to push my sense of creativity a little bit more," he says. "With rappers, a lot of time we don't really have the opportunity to really push the lines of music because we gotta sell. I'm making so much money in other places I can afford to be a little bit more creative."

On Wednesday night, Madison Square Garden was home to Screamfest -- the ultimate hip-hop party -- where Jay-Z, Kanye West, 50 Cent, Diddy, T.I., Swizz Beats and Ciara all shared the stage. Nearly 20,000 fans lost their minds when, while Jay-Z and T.I. helped West perform 'Can't Tell Me Nothing,' 50 ran on stage suspending any notions of rivalry.

The evening's highlight was a performance of Jay-Z's 'Encore,' which compelled the entire audience to throw up their diamonds -- the Roc sign. Judging by the reaction in these video clips, the event was certainly aptly titled.

Victoria Beckham, aka David Beckham's arm candy, has collaborated with rapper Nas on a song called 'Full Stop,' and the results are, well, eh.

It's a pretty formulaic hip-hop/pop crossover track. The beat isn't bad and Nas' rap towards the end redeems the song a tiny bit, but the deal breaker for me is hearing Posh singing lyrics such as "I want to drive too fast," or "I'm always down and keepin it real," and (I save the best for last) "I want to ride or die."

Hmm...really, P? What do you guys think? Does it win song of the summer or song most easily forgotten?
