What do you make of the Rihanna & Chris Brown remixes?

After much speculation surrounding the former superstar couple, Rihanna & Chris Brown last night went ahead and released two remixes, 'Birthday Cake' featuring Chris Brown and 'Turn Up The Music' featuring Rihanna.

Check out both remixes after the jump and let me know what you think. Sending out all the wrong messages to young girls about domestic violence, in my opinion.

Back in July last year, DJ Fresh became the first artist to have a number 1 Dubstep single - now in February 2012, Daniel Stein is back at the top of the UK chart, with 'Hot Right Now' becoming the first Drum & Bass number 1 single of all-time.

KanYe West, Frank Ocean & Tyler The Creator in the studio together

Whilst down under in Australia, KanYe West was spotted in the studio with Odd Future starlets Frank Ocean & Tyler, The Creator. Of course KanYe has worked with Frank previously on 'Watch The Throne', and apparently there is another track in the works, so it's the Tyler collab that made my ears prick up. 'Goblin' was a travesty, in my opinion, but with someone like KanYe on the boards/by his side, there is every chance he could cook up a pretty special sophmore effort. We will see...
