Here’s footage of Red Bull Big Tune winner C-Sick in the lab with NaS recording the track, “Film”. I think this is a great way of bridging the gap for an up and comer and veteran. Not to mention, C-Sick’s only eighteeen !

I know Crystal’s happy I haven’t made her tape this TV show anymore. This is painful to watch. It’s clear why Auto Tune needed to be inside the engine of the Last Train To Paris. Give Puff props for being bold enough to share his imperfections. Ha! That came out funny.

Sidebar: Remember when this leaked briefly? I still got my copy. Can’t believe Curtis co-signed this crap.
Think you gossip blogs missed this cute exchange between the Super Producer and the Superstar this past Saturday night.
New improved Jay Electronica & E. Badu?
If you still have any question on why Eve hasn’t had an album out in seven years, this will hopefully provide some clarity. This Salaam Remi-co-produced clunker is such a dreary mess it almost put me right back to sleep. Here’s hoping she never gets out of “Jimmy Jail.” Ha!

On tour with the Mighty Mos in the Chi, Mr. Electronica co-signs Dante’s declaration a few months ago that the Jay-Z’s of the world need to leave their millions at home and bring their skills to the battle.
Um, well… it’s not gonna happen, guys.

Wow, can’t believe my dude might soon actually be able to touch the town. According to HipHopDX, who spoke to Shyne’s lawyer, he’ll be a free man in a couple of months. He’s due in court tomorrow at a parole hearing to determine whether there will be any restrictions that may hinder him from reestablishing his recording career. Good luck, Po!

Oh shit, Ci-Ci’s stylist blows up her spot. Much ado about nothing. There was no haircut. It’s a wig, y’all.
Ciara’s known for having amazingly long, voluminous hair. This is a big change for her.
Yeah, of course it’s partially extensions, but her hair is long anyway. She’s in LA for the Summer and wanted something lighter, something different.
Her new style is a hair piece, right?
Yes, it’s a hair piece. She still has really long hair—this look is just for the Summer.
How did you come up with it?
Ciara has such a little, petite, cute face, and she told me that she wanted to go short. She wanted to do the Halle Berry, but I thought “We need a little sexy, we need a little swagger in front, so let’s just give it a little bit of lift.” But I didn’t want it to look like Rihanna’s cut, either.
Wow at least those other chicks actually shaved at least some parts of their head. You can’t trust anyone nowadays. Smh.
