Current “it” Justin Bieber is causing quite the stir with the young tweens of the world. And despite our shabby economic climate, I hear that his debut album is set to sell an impressive 110k copies this week.
However, there’s a particular record from the Usher protege that’s getting little burn – and its a travesty to say the least.
The Bonus track from Justin’s debut album “My World” is called “Common Denominator” and its definitely a banger. Written and Produced by the multi-talented Lashaunda “Babygirl” Carr for Bhindabeatz Productions, “Common Denominator” is cleverly, or some would say calculatingly hidden on JB’s project. and fails to give the producer her proper credit. I mean the song garnered over one million hits in total of Justin performing the song live. This was before “My World” even had a release date! [#imjustsayin]
But thankfully for Babygirl, “The Gyant,” stumbled upon this song and when I noticed there were no credits, I set out to find all the facts, so lets get it out.
In an field that is predominately centered around male producers, I was surprised to hear that Babygirl was one of the first producers to work with JB on his project. Then as labels do, they forget [literally in this case] the producers who were there in the beginning since apparently Def Jam, JB’s label home, gave her no credit on the i-Tunes download because it was a bonus track, a silly notion indeed. And, one that needs to be rectified in my opinion.

Initially I thought about going in on lil JB. But, I decided I won’t stoop to that level and put Justin on blast since this was not his fault.
Babygirl’s collabo with Justin on this record is music to my ears. She takes me back to time when music wasn’t wreaking with gimmicks. The melodic track, is definitely my pick for JB’s next single. And if Def-Jam had any sense they’d listen to us bloggers – seeing as though we are the tastemakers of the new millennium. I mean can’t you just hear this record in a movie?
Showing no signs of slowing down, or letting the ominous snub get the best of her, I hear she has a smash coming out on Mrz. Smith [Universal Motown] new album, and an undisclosed but rumored “next big” pop artist.
Perhaps Def Jam will see the errors of their ways and release “C.D. Common Denominator” as Justin’s next single.
Just my two cents on the matter.

This is not the last you’ll hear of Babygirl from me, I’m going to find this young lady and hear more of what’s in store so stay tuned….
