Bizzle, a self-identified Christian rapper, was not too satisfied with Rick Ross and Jay-Z's recent 'Free Mason' song -- a track off Ross' 'Teflon Don' that strove to address the many accusations that both are involved in Illuminati and free mason secret societies. In a new diss track, Bizzle hops on Nas' 'Ether' beat. He mimics Jay-Z's flow and lyrics on 'Free Mason' and goes on the offensive.
"They talk about the 'Free Mason' record and they sayin' Jay denied it," Bizzle raps. "But what did he deny because to me it sounded like this/ Rumors of Lucifer/ A devil I'm, not though/ But if you listen I said he wasn't the devil on my song/ He didn't say he ain't no mason/ He said he never said it/ Put the devil on you/ Ain't nobody make you wear that sweater."
We aren't sure where Bizzle learned that wearing sweaters makes you part of a secret society. Either way, it seems that Bizzle's biggest bone of contention is not just the debunked conspiracy that all three rappers are Illuminati but that they often wear chains with crosses or make songs like 'Jesus Walks.'
Bizzle also goes hard at Ross, accusing him of identity theft. It's certainly vicious and comprehensive. Check out the track below (via HipHopWired.)
Our first Rihanna video makes the list because it features the R&B star playing rock icon Slash. The Guns N' Roses guitarist plays on 'Rockstar 101,' but doesn't show up in the video, so Rihanna does her best impersonation. Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker makes an appearance in the video as part of Rihanna's rock band.

'Russian Roulette'
Rihanna's video for 'Russian Roulette is a spy-thriller. It features Rihanna in a room where strange men are trying to get information from her, the same room where Rihanna remembers sitting at a table with her love interest. The video also shows an underwater scene where she is being "shot" and an ending of the video where her love interest is shot and killed. Rihanna called the song "poetry" and not literal.
08
'SOS'
'SOS' spawned three Rihanna music videos; one for an Agent Provocateur promo, another for Nike, and this official video. In this top Rihanna video, she tells a love interest she's going to call for help due to the trauma caused by their relationship. Rihanna uses a cell phone that displays the cover for Soft Cell's 'Tainted Love,' the song sampled in 'SOS.'
07
'Hard'
This makes the top Rihanna video list and it's easy to see why. While showing a "tough" Rihanna in war paint and spiked shoulder pads and imagery of tanks and military warfare, 'Hard' featuring Young Jeezy (who's also in the video), shows Rihanna throughout the video wearing an open green fatigue shirt with a nude body suit and electrical tape over her nipples.
06
'Unfaithful'
This video pits Rihanna in an implied love triangle. While at a restaurant with her boyfriend, another man slyly gives her a note. The video then plays out in a dreamlike state with Rihanna cheating, before it ultimately returns to reality and her leaving the restaurant with her boyfriend.
05
'Rude Boy' (Live at AOL Sessions)
It may seem selfish to include our session with her in our list of the top Rihanna videos, but when you have Nuno Bettencourt from Extreme playing guitar for her, it's hard to deny this clip's awesomeness. Rihanna's outfit is also one to admire.
04
'Umbrella'
The concept of this top Rihanna video, more specifically, the silver paint she sports to look like a Greek statue, is the work of director Chris Applebaum. Applebaum was worried Rihanna wouldn't embrace the idea, but her "positive response" following a letter the director sent to the artist ensured its approval.
03
'Run This Town'
One thing Rihanna is well-known for is her guest spots, and 'Run This Town' by Jay-Z and also featuring Kanye West is definitely a top Rihanna video moment. Filmed on Aug. 6, 2009, at Fort Totten Park in New York City, this apocalyptic-themed video reaches a high Rihanna point when she dramatically rips a bandana from her face and starts singing while explosions are going off around her.
02
'Rude Boy'
The official 'Rude Boy' video is a no-brainer for a top Rihanna video list. Unlike many of her videos, this clip for one of her most popular songs is lighthearted and includes Rihanna doing various '90s dancehall moves like the Bogle, the butterfly, and the tatti.
01
'Don't Stop the Music'
The top Rihanna video on our list is also the most watched Rihanna video on YouTube. There's also a theme to her most popular videos -- they're the fun ones. The video for 'Don't Stop the Music' shows Rihanna and two of her friends sneaking into the back of a candy store where there is a secret club. The rest of the video pretty much just shows Rihanna and her friends dancing in the club.
'Perfect Nightmare' is Shontelle's second single off her upcoming studio album, 'No Gravity,' in stores Sept. 21.
Opening with a haunting piano melody, by 1:08 'Perfect Nightmare' turns into to poppy, club-driven anthem, as Shontelle struggles to break free from a damaging relationship: "Keep tellin' myself that it's not worth it / I already know I don't deserve it / But if it's from you I don't mind hurting / This is my perfect nightmare."
The Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins-produced track follows her Rihanna-sounding hit single 'Impossible.' To hear 'Perfect Nightmare,' head over to AOL Radio's New Pop First station.
As the summer winds down, count on Beyonce to do her best to heat things up.
