iN honor of Steve Job’s legacy, I began this sentence with a lower case “i.” Also, to honor Apple’s mastermind, I am briefing you on songs that you must add to your own iPods.

Thank you, Steve Jobs, for making treadmills more bearable, airplane rides more entertaining, and for giving us those iconic white headphones that serve as social barriers even when the iPod is off.

“Can’t Get Enough” is the first single from J. Cole’s debut studio release, Cole World: The Sideline Story. Definitely, it’s one of the best tracks on the album.  And if jet setting to escape the cold is how you roll, then watching J. Cole’s “Can’t Get Enough” video featuring Trey Songz will have you rushing to the nearest ticket terminal.

There’s no shortage of beautiful, voluptuous women in the vid which, coincidentally, reminds me of his Roc Nation mentor Jay Z’s “Big Pimpin.” Anxious to track Cole World’s chart performance!

T-Pain’s “5 O’Clock” featuring Lily Allen and Wiz Khalifa is a new addition to my iPod. I am not ashamed to admit that an auto-tuned, T-Pain song is on my workout playlist.

I’m pretty sure I’ve told you I love Beyonce’s latest album 4, so you should have downloaded it to your iPods months ago. But in her most recent video for song “Countdown,” B has been accused – AGAIN – of swagger jacking. Seems that every trend made popular by the mom-to-be was the brainchild of someone else’s creative genius. After watching “Countdown,” I have this to say: Anna Teresa de Keersmaeker, your swagger has been jacked.

de Keersmaeker is a Belgian choreographer, and “Countdown’s” choreography looks eerily similar identical to her pieces. A split screen showing those similarities is below as is Beyonce’s full length video. At any rate, Mrs. Carter makes rolling around the floor at 5 months (allegedly) pregnant look as effortless as only she could make it look.

I had fallen so in love with Travis Barker’s Give the Drummer Some that I kinda forgot about Blink 182.

But the band’s song, “After Midnight,” has helped rekindle my love affair with the trio. Took a while for the song to grow on me, but now, I pretty much can’t stop listening to it.
