Cee-Lo Is Making Some Serious Moves In The Game!
Posted on April 23, 2008 1:57 PM
You know I've always had a fondness for Cee-Lo's style and musical flare. But I never knew how truly talented homie was until I heard Gnarls Barkley's last album. That album was one of my favorite ones from last year, and when I was looking at the CD jacket, I was amazed to find out how much influence the Atlanta representer had on that project.
But for those of you who might not know, Cee Lo has had his hand in a lot more projects than many of us know about.
I know most people only know Cee Lo from the Goodie Mob era, but to only acknowledge the singer, rapper, songwriter, and record producer from that pioneering group alone wouldn't be giving the man his just due. He has appeared as a featured singing vocalist on songs by artists such as De La Soul, Kelis, Common, Royce Da 5'9", Nas, Twista, OutKast, Rehab, Black Eyed Peas, Musiq, Diddy, Mad Skillz, Lil Kim, Erykah Badu and Trick Daddy, and sings background vocals on TLC's hit single "Waterfalls". [no sh*t]
He collaborated with Trick Daddy and Lil' Kim on the smash 2005 song, Sugar (Gimme Some), and also produced, and wrote "Dont Cha" for the Pussycat Dolls.
And with all of those credits up under his belt the funkadelic star is moving forward with other projects. His second album [The Odd Couple] is in stores now, and he's also working with Academy Award Winner, Jennifer Hudson, and Beyonce's little sister Solange. Here's what I found out below:
The track written for Hudson, "All Dressed Up In Love," will appear on the soundtrack for the highly-anticipated Sex in the City movie, while his contributions to Solange's sophomore release, SoL-AngeL and the Hadley Street Dreams, are the songs "T.O.N.Y." and "Sandcastle Disco."Knowles said she "literally had to beg Cee-Lo to listen to my music" before he agreed to come aboard.[Source]
Here are some of my favorite Cee-Lo videos:
I thought this would be a break from the norm.

Shout out to Cee-Lo Goodie. He's one of the most under rated rappers out there because his talent far out shines the 'rapper' pigeon hole.
Cee-Lo's a hard worker no doubt. That's why he's got that posh crib in Buckhead and that ugly-ass, spoiled brat of a daughter. She look like she already smell like Newports and got a mustache, but that's not to take away from her father's accomplishments. He just fucked up when he had a child with her mother. Word up.

So he's like the down south Nate Dogg? Nah, seriously, dude is nice but I don't really like his Gnarls Barkley music. Seems like he's trying to be different just to. Seems forced sometimes.
