The Roots --> 
Posted 11/11/2004 by Geffen For a band renowned for its live show, the Roots sure are spending a lot of time in the studio.
The group was in the lab for the first part of 2004 working on The Tipping Point (which was released in July), and it'll get cracking onits seventh studio album at the start of 2005. Tentatively titled The Game Theory, the LP is likely to hit stores by the end of next summer, according to drummer Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson.
In the coming months, ?uestlove will be working again with Common on the rapper's new LP, Be (see "Common Lets It Be On Upcoming Down-Home Album"), which he described as "a return to [Common's] former self." ?uestlove is also working with a new artist, a female singer named Donn, and has resumed his duties as music supervisor of "Chappelle's Show."
As the music supervisor for Jay-Z's "farewell concert" at Madison Square Garden last year, he also took on that title for "Fade to Black," the just-released documentary about the show (see "Usher, Linkin Park, Kanye Walk The Black Carpet For Jay-Z"). » www.mtv.com  Digg |  Del.icio.us |  Facebook |
