There's just something about sexy straightforward chicks that makes us want to um...cheat. On "Shoop", Salt-n-Pepa come hard at any guy with stacks or a fly look. So provocative. We're definitely not dropping our girl and cuffing that one chick who makes the rounds, but when this track come on you may consider taking her home for the night.

Not Available Interstitial

Album: Ready To Die

If you're going to listen to any rapper telling you to creep, it better be the late, great Christopher Wallace. "Big Poppa" blueprints your scheming activities from how to mack in the back of the club to the player techniques that will seal the deal.

Repping for fat and ugly dudes everywhere, Biggie's devious flow inspires your player mentality and can turn a perfect relationship sour very quickly.

2Pac "Temptations" (1995)

Not Available Interstitial

Album: Me Against The World
Producer: Easy Mo Bee
Label: Out Da Gutta, Interscope, Amaru

2Pac, never one to shy away from real-life subjects, lays his sex fiend desires out for the world to see on "Temptations." We can relate. Sometimes when that body is so good you just have to offer the decision up like Pac asking, "Will I cheat or will I be committed? Heaven knows." If you can restrain from cheating you're a better man, but don't pretend like this song doesn't get you thinking about it.

R. Kelly "Down Low (Nobody Has to Know)" (1995)

Not Available Interstitial

Album: R. Kelly
Producer: R. Kelly
Label: Jive Records

Forget making you want to cheat on your girl, "Down Low" is the track you put on while you're cheating on your girl. Especially if your secret friend has a significant other too and you have some convincing to do. Kellz and The Isley Brothers' smooth serenading will turn any thought about cheating into a full-blown affair. Sure the concept of the song has R. Kelly sleeping with our girlfriends but the best reason to cheat is because she did.

"The Mistletoe Jam" may not be right for much of the year but come your holiday company party, it's on. Once you've had too much eggnog and bourbon, you will be making a move on that hot blonde you've flirted with since September. Mr. Vandross made the perfect song to get down to over the holidays when your girl is at her parents' house.

Usher "You Make Me Wanna..." (1997)

Not Available Interstitial

Album: My Way
Producer: Jermaine Dupri, Manuel Seal
Label: LaFace Records, Arista Records

If you're in a solid relationship, there aren't many reasons to listen to a song that's entirely about leaving your girlfriend. So if you have it on repeat driving home you're already scheming. But maybe you heard it randomly. If so, chances are you are now stuck on a hot female friend. The one you hooked up with before your girlfriend and still flirt with when you get drunk. The one you will probably cheat on your girlfriend with next time you two are alone. Damn, Usher.

Xscape "My Little Secret" (1998)

Not Available Interstitial

Album: Traces of My Lipstick

This track describes the lusty fling you can't avoid with the crazy chick that gets off on being in the same room as your girl. We've all been there. "My Little Secret" justifies all your late night debaucheries that keep your relationship with your main chick running smooth.

Justin Timberlake "Cry Me A River" (2002)

Not Available Interstitial

Album: Justified
Producer: Timbaland
Label: Jive Records

As trite as the title "Cry Me A River" may sound, this song perfectly encapsulates the anger, frustration, and inevitable vengeance felt when you find out your girl is two-timing you. The fact of the matter is, you've been duped into what you thought was a committed relationship, only to find out she and her yoga instructor were refining the lizard pose.

Not to worry. A little rationalization in the form of Justin Timberlake's inspiring words will have you on the prowl, arguably snagging the best sex you've had in months. Trust, your girl is calling the next day to mend the open wound, but you've already evened the score with your own remedy. Don't it make her sad about it?

The Roots f/ Musiq "Break You Off" (2002)

Not Available Interstitial

Album: Phrenology
Producer: The Roots
Label: MCA Records, Geffen Records

Have you ever rationalized cheating? Has your second half gained some weight or started to get on your nerves? Whatever reasons you may have, the combination of Black Thought's tempting lyrics, the Root's smooth sound, and Musiq's crooning gets you thinking that maybe you should be breaking off your cute neighbor when your partner starts slipping.

Cam'ron f/ Juelz Santana "Hey Ma" (2002)

Not Available Interstitial

Album: Come Home with Me
Producer: DR Period, Mafia Boy
Label: Roc-a-Fella Records, Def Jam Records

Remember that time you were having a guys night out and saw your ex at the club? Cam does too. "Hey Ma" has Cam and Juelz trading verses about those nights that "never happened." From the chorus detailing the pick-up scheme to Cam and Juelz's hilarious phone conversation after they both hit. Cheating has never sounded as fun as it does when Dipset spits about it.

Mac Dre "Feelin' Myself" (2004)

Not Available Interstitial

Album: Ronald Dregan: Dreganomics
Producer: Sean T
Label: Thizz Entertainment

Mac Dre's general disregard for ideas like love or commitment and endearment for partying and pimping will have you feeling invincible. "Feeling Myself" has that bounce to get you up on any chick at the party. Get ready for a one-night stand full of regret be prepared to never speak of it after.

Jay-Z f/ Pharrell "I Know" (2007)

Not Available Interstitial

Album: American Gangster
Producer: The Neptunes
Label: Roc-A-Fella Records, Def Jam Records

"This is about lust," Hov pledges on "I Know," and so too will you when this record pops up at the next house party you attend. From the rousing drums and frenzied melody courtesy of the Neptunes, this track unlocks a sensual vibe that will immediately have you grinding on the closest undergrad in sight. Never mind that your girlfriend made a commitment to run the Susan G. Komen 5K on Saturday morning and decided to call it an early night; your current mission is to fulfill your desires before you come down from this libidinous high.

"I'm never around, you constantly seek it/You'll never be down, I know where your peek is." Truer words were never spoken to a Friday night fling. Just remember to delete the text messages before your girl crosses the finish line.

R. Kelly f/ T.I. & T-Pain"I'm A Flirt (Remix)" (2007)

Not Available Interstitial

Album: Double Up
Producer: R. Kelly
Label: Jive Records

There's a reason R. Kelly stays trapped in the closet: He's cheating and making jams that make you forget your girl. When you want to get your disrespectful creep game on, like hitting on chicks when you're with your girl, "I'm A Flirt" better be on. T.I. shows up to add some emphasis that cuffing season doesn't exist in their world. When you hear this jam, you forget about all the presents you're buying your girl for the holidays and focus on buying drinks for the dime at the bar.

Lil Wayne "I'm Single" (2009)

Not Available Interstitial

Album: No Ceilings
Producer: Noah "40" Shebib, Omen
Label: Young Money Records, Cash Money Records

40's cold beat and Wayne's scratchy hedonistic lyrics actually make you feel like you're doing the right when your girl calls you while you're out creeping. Maybe you text back and turn your phone off. When Weezy's spits, "We both say we single and we both lying," your girl is long out of your mind and it's a done deal. Loyal partners beware, this the epitome of, "I don't give a damn, I'm cheating tonight."

Maxwell "Bad Habits" (2009)

Not Available Interstitial

Album: BLACKsummers'night
Producer: Maxwell, Hod David
Label: Columbia Records

If you're happy in your relationship, might we suggest that you never put on "Bad Habits." Maxwell sings your inner monologue as you're taking your side piece to bed not once, but twice a day. The video is even worse, depicting how it's easy to cheat on your damn near perfect girlfriend with a little liquor and temptation. Stay far away from this track if you're with "the one." It's sure to convince you to stray.

Young Money "Every Girl" (2009)

Not Available Interstitial

Album: We Are Young Money
Producer: Tha Bizness
Label: Cash Money Records, Universal Records

Young Money's ode to fucking every girl in the world confirms the notion that there are plenty of fish in the sea. Drizzy can't pick one so why should you have to.

While Wayne is messing with the whole group, you're stuck with your girl every weekend making pizza and watching romantic comedies. Man, forget that. "Every Girl" hits you over the head with five verses full of reasons to cheat on your girl. Sing the chorus aloud after another argument with your wifey and you'll be in straight thirst mode at the club.

Chris Brown f/ Tyga & Kevin McCall "Deuces" (2010)

Not Available Interstitial

Album: Fan of a Fan
Producer: Kevin "K-MAC" McCall
Label: Jive Records

When the relationship drama won't end and you just want to hop in the whip and throw a peace sign to your girl on the way to your side chick's crib, this is your soundtrack. C Breezy, Tyga and Kevin McCall flip the script on unappreciative girlfriends and make us want to hit up something new, even if we'll be back with our old chick in the morning.

Kanye West f/ Pusha T "Runaway" (2010)

Not Available Interstitial

Album: My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Producer: Kanye West, Emile, Jeff Bhasker, Mike Dean
Label: Roc-A-Fella Records, Def Jam Records

"Runaway" doesn't just make you want cheat one time, this is for everybody who has never been faithful to a girl in their life. 'Ye's self-deprecating anthem feels like a release of demons in order to go out and cheat again tonight. When Pusha shows up and yells, "Split and go where? Back to buying knockoffs?" it makes every wrongful action feel justified—as long as you're paid.
