Madonna has been spending late nights in the studio working on her forthcoming full-length.

Judging from the sound of this new Pharrell-produced track, "The Beat Goes On", Madge may have wanted to stay home.

Madonna's unimaginative lyrics and Pharrell's inane beats suggest that the beat does not, in fact, go on. Nor should it. Give the track a listen and let us know what you think…

Alright, we're not really sure how this is going to go over with you kids, but we've decided to post a video from Virginia-based brotherly duo, Clipse.

Gene and Terrence Thornton (aka Malice and Pusha-T, respectively) have made a name as much for their inventive, The Neptunes-produced sound as for their coke-centric lyrics. (Remember that Sasha Frere-Jones review?)

Anyway, we think they're hot, the videos feature Pharrell and that's really all we can say. Above the jump you'll find "Mr. Me Too" from their most recent release, Hell Hath No Fury… Meanwhile, after the jump, "Grindin'" will give you a taste of their first album, Lord Willin'.
