You can't blame a href="/music/artist/bob_7_/artist.jhtml"B.o.B/a if he wanted to pinch himself.
/ppThe a href="/news/articles/1646000/20100818/bob_7_.jhtml"VMA-nominated newcomer/a is riding an enormous wave via his debut album, a href="/news/articles/1645947/20100817/t_i_.jhtml"iThe Adventures of Bobby Ray,/i/a which has spawned three consecutive top 10 singles, "Nothin' on You," "Airplanes" and his latest, "Magic." And for his "Magic" clip, the Atlanta rapper recruited director Sanaa Hamri (Jay-Z, Christina Aguilera) who put B.o.B in the middle of a raucous house party.
/pp/pdiv width="240" height="211"/divp
/ppBut in the video, which premiered Thursday (September 2) at midnight on MTV.com, Bobby Ray can't seem to believe his good fortune. As he and his a href="/news/articles/1647098/20100902/bob_7_.jhtml""Magic" collaborator, Weezer's Rivers Cuomo/a, jam in the backyard, B.o.B mentally traces back to earlier in the day when the young rapper first wakes up. B.o.B tries to shake awake a sleeping version of himself but to no avail.
/ppThe girls, the party, all the happenings do seem to be going on #8212; and all for him. Partygoers run through the house and Bobby Ray snaps pictures with the girl of his dreams. But in an instant #8212; as quick as he's been clicking Polaroid pictures #8212; the party is over and B.o.B awakens.
/ppTurns out he was dreaming.
/ppThe sleep-eyed MC, however, takes a look around his bedroom and notices two photos on the ground: two snapshots of him and his leading lady. He's got the magic, indeed.
/ppLast week, "Magic" landed on the iBillboard/i Hot 100 at the #10 position. The track follows "Nothin' on You," which went to the top of the chart, and "Airplanes," a top 5 hit. Also on Thursday, a href="/news/articles/1646958/20100901/bob_7_.jhtml"B.o.B opened for Eminem and Jay-Z/a during the superstar MCs' Home and Home concert series in Detroit; he's scheduled to open for the pair again on Friday (September 3), and later this month in New York.

Before the summer ends, the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato will return to the wilderness one more time in "Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam." While on a href="/news/articles/1645694/20100813/jonas_brothers.jhtml""Good Morning America"/a and a href="/news/articles/1645334/20100808/jonas_brothers.jhtml"on tour/a, they've teased fans with new songs from the movie's soundtrack. But what's the most exciting thing about the flick itself? MTV News caught up with some of the "Camp Rock 2" stars to find out.
/pp/pdiv" width="240" height="211"/divp
/pp"I'm excited for everybody to see the dance numbers and performance numbers," Matthew Finley said. "I feel like we worked really hard. There were several genres of music in there. Listening to the soundtrack gets me amped and excited, so I'm ready to see it with action and with the movie."
/ppIn the sequel to 2008's "Camp Rock," Lovato and her fellow campers are heading toward a showdown with their rivals in Camp Star. "We just battle it out and see which camp wins and there's a lot of cool, fun songs and dances," Jasmine Richards said.
/ppBut it wouldn't be summer without a little romance either. Chloe Bridges, who plays Nick Jonas' love interest, said that the movie will surprise people.
/pp"It doesn't lack realness and emotionality, which might not be what people are expecting because there's obviously very fun entertainment," Bridges told MTV News. "It's fun to watch. Its big dance numbers and fun music, but there's also very real moments #8212; especially with the romance, which is where I come in. So it's really cool."
/ppRoshon Fegan said, "I'm just looking forward to the fans' response. I want to know what they think about it. I think that's what we all are really excited for."
/ppa href="/news/articles/1646980/20100901/jonas_brothers.jhtml"The Jonas Brothers described the sequel to the 2008 film as "next level"/a, in part because of where the film was shot. "The staging was phenomenal for the film. We were always filming somewhere different. Every other day was a new location. For us, that was really exciting because for the first one we stuck to about three different sets, and this time probably having 15, 16 different sets, for us, that was really exciting," Joe Jonas explained.
/pp"Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam" airs Friday (September 3) on the Disney Channel.

Snoop Dogg is in a "let's do it again" type of mood.
/ppThe rapper announced plans to work with Katy Perry again after the pair's "California Gurls" collaboration shot to the top of the iTunes singles chart this week. (a href="/news/articles/1646970/20100901/perry_katy.jhtml"Perry's album, iTeenage Dream,/i also hit #1/a on the iBillboard/i 200 albums chart this week.)
/pp"We're trying to get together and do something on my new album ... so [I'm] definitely in contact with her," Snoop told a href="http://www.okmagazine.com/2010/09/snoop-dogg-on-katy-perry-im-definitely-in-contact-with-her/" target="_blank"iOK!/i/a magazine about Perry. "She's a sweet girl and I had fun making the record with her. Like I said, I'm looking forward to her being on my record as well."
/ppThe album in question is iDoggystyle 2: The Doggumentary./i
/ppSnoop announced he's revisiting his classic debut album in a BubbleTweet video message sent over Swizz Beatz's a href="http://twitter.com/THEREALSWIZZZ/status/22775691196"
target="_blank"Twitter/a account.
/ppSnoop and Swizz were in a studio session and revealed they had recorded upwards of 18 new tracks together.
/pp"Man, this is big Snoop Dogg coming to you live from the studio somewhere," Snoop said in the clip. "With Swizzle, and he just laced my boots up for my new record. He gave me some gangster sh--, some Crip sh--, some RB sh--, some hip-hop sh--, some hard sh--, some mean sh--."
/ppThe Los Angeles lyricist then revealed the name of his next album before the clip cut off.
/ppSnoop's iDoggystyle/i was released in November 1993. The collection was produced by Dr. Dre and, along with Dre's iThe Chronic,/i helped solidify the West Coast's reign atop the hip-hop game. It still remains one of the best-selling debuts in hip-hop history.
/ppLast month, Snoop revisited his debut project as a part of this year's a href="/news/articles/1646731/20100829/hill_lauryn.jhtml"Rock the Bells/a tour, which had performers playing seminal albums in their entirety. Also on the bill were Lauryn Hill (iThe Miseducation of Lauryn Hill/i), A Tribe Called Quest (iMidnight Marauders/i), KRS-One (iCriminal Minded/i), Rakim (iPaid in Full/i) and the Wu-Tang Clan (iEnter the Wu-Tang [36 Chambers]/i).

Usher has reigned as Pop amp; B royalty since he hit the scene as a teen crooner in the '90s. Back when his 16-year-old prot#233;g#233;, Justin Bieber, was still a toddler, the ATL singer was making the ladies faint with hits like "You Make Me Wanna" and "Nice amp; Slow." But his early success was just a prelude to the music-world domination he's achieved with club-bangers and deeply personal slow jams in the years since.
/ppUsher's divorce from Tameka Foster was the latest personal development to fuel a chart-topping album, 2010's iRaymond v. Raymond./i Now the singer is set to a href="/news/articles/1646546/20100826/usher.jhtml"perform at the MTV Video Music Awards/a, and his "OMG" smash will battle it out for a Moonman in three categories: Best Male Video, Best Dance Video and Best Choreography. Here's a look at how the singer's recent success has steered him toward VMA accolades:
/ppFollowing the release of the divorce-themed "Papers," his more upbeat video a href="/news/articles/1630651/20100127/usher.jhtml""Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home)"/a premiered in January 2010. The clip featured the romantic superstar fans know and love, trying to juggle the demands of his professional and personal life.
/ppIn March, Usher talked to MTV News about incorporating that balance into a href="/news/articles/1635050/20100330/usher.jhtml"iRaymond v. Raymond./i/a "I think this is the one time where I'm able to put it all in, emotionally and the good times #8212; super-freaky and then also super-emotional."
/ppSo, it wasn't a big surprise that when a href="/news/articles/1635600/20100407/usher.jhtml"iRaymond v. Raymond/i/a finally landed on shelves after several delays, the project took the top spot on Billboard 200 with over 300,000 scans during its first week.
/ppHe went from romantic to racy, busting out his signature, fluid, hip-swiveling moves in the video for a href="/news/articles/1634757/20100325/usher.jhtml""Lil Freak," featuring Nicki Minaj/a. The star didn't hold back in the visual or the lyricism, which both detail a freaky rendezvous with some very game ladies. Like many of his hits, Usher revealed that the track was inspired by real-life experiences.
/ppThe club anthem a href="/news/articles/1635228/20100331/will_i_am.jhtml""OMG" featured Black Eyed Peas frontman Will.I.Am/a and a more club-friendly side to the RB kingpin. The accompanying video showcased Usher's easy swagger and ever-sharp dance skills.
/ppiRaymond/i was such a hit that in August the singer released a href="/news/articles/1643314/20100709/usher.jhtml"iVersus,/i/a an extension of the smash album featuring songs like the a href="/news/articles/1646045/20100818/usher.jhtml"Jay-Z collabo "Hot Tottie."/a
/ppa href="/news/articles/1646562/20100826/usher.jhtml"Usher, who has a history of tearing up the VMA stage/a, will return to the main event this year, and recently reminded his fans that live television paired with Usher's onstage wizardry can result in some seriously unforgettable moments. "You never know what's gonna happen on an MTV VMA stage," he said. "I look forward to making it a night to remember."
/ppThe star has also made one of the most savvy moves in recent pop music history a href="/news/articles/1634785/20100326/usher.jhtml"by signing teen phenom Justin Bieber/a, who has gone on to induce a href="/news/articles/1637876/20100427/bieber_justin.jhtml"global tween hysteria/a and set a href="/news/articles/1643829/20100716/bieber_justin.jhtml"YouTube records/a.
/ppbThe 27th annual MTV Video Music Awards will be broadcast live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on September 12. The party starts with MTV News' VMA Pre-Show at 8 p.m., followed by the main event at 9 p.m. ET. Fans can go to a href="http://www.mtv.com/ontv/vma/2010/"VMA.MTV.com/a (or text VMA to 97979 if they are Verizon subscribers) to vote for Best New Artist from now through September 12./b

bFire Starter: Boy Jones/b
/ppJust looking at 21-year-old Boy Jones, it's clear he's his father's son. Jones wears a T-shirt with an image of his pop, the late great a href="www.mtv.com/music/artist/ol_dirty_bastard/artist.jhtml"Ol' Dirty Bastard/a, taking up most of the real estate on the front.
/ppIt's late August, the day before the a href="/news/articles/1646248/20100822/hill_lauryn.jhtml"Rock the Bells tour/a kicked off its four-city run. Jones is in San Bernardino, California, at the NOS Events Center. Snoop Dogg is at one side of the park rehearsing and members of the Wu-Tang Clan are inside at another part. GZA is playing chess, and RZA is onstage, guiding his cousin the Young Dirty Bastard through a Wu classic, "Shame on a Ni--a." It's a signature song from the Shaolin Swordsmen's 1993 debut LP, on which Dirt McGirt stole the show.
/ppThe next night, while the real performance was going, Young Dirty brought high energy for "Shame," and during a tribute to Dirty senior, for which Boy Jones performed "Shimmy Shimmy Ya," the youngster ran out with no shirt and jumped into the audience.
/pp" 'Shimmy Shimmy' with no shirt on? I couldn't help it," Jones said a week later, this time at New York's Governors Island. "It's like a baby running around naked. Once you start, you have to let go of everything. Be a free spirit. Uprise yourself. The fans give you the energy. I'mma get naked regardless."
/ppSound familiar? Jones #8212; even at a young age #8212; has that unorthodox wisdom his dad was famous for. He also shares the same unpredictable energy and even the same hairstyle. YDB sports the braids sticking straight up in the air like ODB had.
/pp"He looks just like him. Scrappy Doo to the fullest," Raekwon the Chef laughed. "Dirty was Scooby and his son is Scrappy all the way. He looks just like his father. When I tell you he's got his father's style down pat, am I lying? Nope. He's his father to the maximum. When I see him, I see his father."
/pp"I love Boy Jones," Method Man said after the Wu performed at Governors Island. "His grandmother is here, Dirty's mother. I know she's lookin' up and she's proud of him. I'm proud of him, too."
/pp"It feels great," Jones said about performing with his dad's squadron. "It's me. It's his son. A son is like a father, he always gotta do what his father does. He's born in that type of way. It ain't nothing else to it. I got the call from RZA [to go on tour] when I was feeding my babies baby food. 'You going on the tour.' I'm running. I need that bread. Young Dirty Bastard raps hard, too. I ain't doing it for free. I need money and I rap hard.
/pp"They the gods and I'm the young god," Dirty added about what he's learned from traveling and performing with Wu-Tang. "It's like when you go to school for the first time and you're really scared, but you have teachers who really teach you. You can't know anything without somebody giving it to you. They give it to me real. They don't tell it to me fake. I might break a few rules and they put me in check. They teach me. I'm the young god."
/ppYoung Dirty is working on his first big mixtape. Besides Meth, Rae and Ghostface, he wants to work with 9th Wonder. Boy is talking to DJ Absolut about hosting the project.
/pp"My music is coming with an Ol' natural style," Jones explained. "Ol' Dirty Bastard had the sh--. I'm just the new sperm of the generation. And you know I'm gonna have it. I'm born with it."
/ppbThe Streets Is Talking/b
/ppA few days ago, a href="/news/articles/1646682/20100827/raekwon.jhtml"Raekwon leaked the trailer for the "Ason Jones"/a video. The Chef said paying tribute to his friend was always in the plans.
/pp"As far as the video is concerned, it's something I wanted to add to the collection of videos I got out there. Dirty is my heart. Same way how everybody got fallen soldiers around them or in their circle that they lost, he is one I really appreciate. At the end of the day, I'm always keeping him right here."

Though they faced a href="/news/articles/1644393/20100726/kings_of_leon.jhtml"scathing reviews from a pack of pigeons/a in St. Louis a few weeks ago, most of the rest of the rock world is eagerly awaiting the fifth album from a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/kings_of_leon/artist.jhtml"Kings of Leon/a. The wait is finally coming to an end, as a href="/news/articles/1645047/20100804/kings_of_leon.jhtml"iCome Around Sundown/i is set to drop on October 19/a, with the first taste #8212; a single called "Radioactive" #8212; coming out next week.
/pp"Radioactive" will see its video premiere on Kings of Leon's official website on Wednesday, September 8. It will then move to radio on Monday, September 13, and to iTunes the next day. As with most high-profile rock releases, two versions will be made available: the standard album as well as a deluxe edition that will include bonus tracks.
/ppiCome Around Sundown/i contains 13 tracks, several of which have been road-tested by the band during its summer tour. In keeping with tradition, the a href="/news/articles/1640852/20100606/kings_of_leon.jhtml"new tunes unveiled on the tour/a combine bluesy, hard-rocking sensibilities with just the right amount of Americana twang (especially "Mary," which has quickly become a live staple). Meanwhile, the new single "Radioactive"
is a fantastically kinetic uptempo rocker that features a giant sing-along chorus.
/ppIn addition to the track listing and single release dates, Kings of Leon also released the cover art to iCome Around Sundown./i It features a photo of a small island with a pair of palm trees at sunset. Shot from the sea, it's a warm, wistful image that serves the title of the album extremely well.
/ppKings of Leon's summer tour continues through September 25, when they will make up the Missouri show that they had to cut short because of pigeon droppings.
