Bubblegum Crunk | NORE on the ROC? | The Roots live in NYC tonight
"Bubblegum Crunk", as Nick Catchdubs termed it a while back (May 25), from Ciara, a new artist who's working with Jazze Pha. Peep her first single “Goodies” produced by the one-man Neptunes of 2004, Lil Jon:

REAL PLAYER: hi | med | lo
My only question is: if this track is on Jazze Pha's own brand new label (which I believe it is?), a producer who's been making some noise and is fairly well-respected, what does it say about him when the debut single by his first artist is produced by someone else?! At least get a co-production credit popping for respect purposes like Dre always does.
The man who, arguably, made DJ Shadow famous/relevant is DJ-ing in NYC: James Lavelle live at Cielo this Sunday.
Aaron Wherry's pop (all love) is mp3 blogging now too.
NORE rumored to be jumpin' to the Roc according to Hot 97? I heard he might be out of Def Jam a while back, but why jump there when eventually he'll have Def Jam working his records again anyway if they get big enough?
Aspiring hip hop producers: are you f-cking with the Dynamic Producer conference jumping off at the end of this month in New York?
I'm like a year late on this, but I just found the CD my sister loaned me from back then while cleaning up my bedroom: that Stills song "Still In Love Song" was crackin' wasn't it? Other than a couple other joints though, their Cure meets the Smiths sound wasn't doing much for me.
The Roots performing live for FREE at City Hall Park in New York 7PM TONIGHT.
