This Week's Best New Songs

It's been a rough week for rappers. First, Diddy was charged with assault and one count of making terrorist threats. Then, it was Ross' turn to catch assault and kidnapping charges for (allegedly) pistol-whipping a groundskeeper at his home.
 
But it's not all drama and bad juju. On the positive side, this week also brings forth a new batch of thoroughly enjoyable songs for you to blast at home, gym or work. Peep the Top 10 after the jump.

Diddy Attacked UCLA Coach with...What?

You know that dad who yells at the referee during his son's football game? Yup, that was Diddy at his son Justin's UCLA training facility yesterday. Supposedly, things got heated between Sean Combs and UCLA's strength and conditioning coach, Sal Alosi, which led to Diddy ending up in handcuffs and being charged with three counts of assault with a deadly weapon, the weapon being a kettlebell (WHAAT?), and one count of making terrorist threats (AGAIN, WHAAT?) and one count of battery. Can you imagine how poor Justin feels after seeing his dad make a huge scene out there? I understand that no parent wants to see their son degraded, but c'mon, Sean. Puff Daddy would've never attacked anyone with a Russian dumbbell. http://abt.cm/1LjlmRb
