Cee-lo - "Closet Freak"
Posted on November 18, 2005 12:27 PM
I was gonna try to do something else, but the request line has spoken. You all want to end Purple Ribbon week with a video as strange as “Closet Freak” [watch it now] by an artist as strange as Cee-lo. Why people would want to subject themselves to this, I don’t know. I’ve re-watched it on your request, and I’m blind. Thank god I know where the home keys are.
This psychadelic adventure into Cee-lo’s hypersexual subconscious should not have been aired on 106 and Park. Unlike the rest of the videos, this is not inappropriate because the shit will encourage irresponsible sexual behavior, but because I know if I were 12 years old I’d be traumatized by this shit.
Reverend Cee-lo Sharpton woos his flock to pastures of fried chicken, collard greens, acid and skeet. Miami Vice Cee-lo and his personal Spliff Starr funky chicken the night away for your viewing pleasure. Naked Tomahawk Cee-lo provides the eye candy for all who cared to see a boa-laden negro sumo air hump them into submission.
My favorite Cee-lo was Mothership Batman Cee-lo. That dude took off to his happy place and spread his wings doing so. I wonder if that was a metaphor for… you know. :(
I wonder if the rest of the Goodie Mob saw the video and was like “Oh yeah, this nigga is throwed. We’d better start writing that next album without him.”
Sidenote: Did anyone see the video for “Gettin’ Grown” where he was dressed up like the Teletubbies and had an alligator on the grass with the bunny rabbits? One word. Wow.
Some people think freakin ain’t right. I am not one of those people, but please… put some clothes on and put the sherm down. They gonna find Cee-lo and Bizzy Bone passed out in the back of a Lincoln Continental one day. Sherman Hemsley is a hell of a drug!
Questions? Comments? Request? Ain't nothin' like money in a ziploc bag, UH HUH! UH HUH! ronnie_mexxx@yahoo.com

I thought i was the only in the world that went blind after that video. Nigga looked like Blacula's drunk uncle or somethin. Terrible video and song
mexxX, i think next week needs to be harlem week. if you could get some video's of anything with mase, and/or dipset, that would be perfect. especially mase, after him saying in the new xxl that hell be president of g unit when his albulm comes out. we need to remember his horse and carriage days. TOUCHDOWN!
hahaha... being a harlem kid i'd love nothing more than to do harlem week. shit i could do harlem month.
i'd rather do harlem week in the summer... when it's ACTUALLY harlem week.
maybe i'll be able to sneak in some hometown love sooner than that though. thanks for the suggestion.
stockingcap, i think the song is great. the video is some scary shit tho.
what u need to do is a just say no to white boys when they say try this and any affiliation with eryka badu week..featuring andre 3000,common(electric circus phase),dangelo(aka ashy larry), cee-lo,that fat nigga that hang out with slim shady,and big gipps solo album......in this circle of friends, they got that heat!!! they crossbreedin some groundbreaking shit that they need to share....shit, id buy it...
2 points!
I highly enjoy this song. The video is another case.
The beginning starts off like its something from Electric Company.
Since when was Erykah Badu his back up singer?? The one in the white (is that his wife?) should have been BANNED from wearing that outfit. NOT a good look....at all.
How many 'shrooms did you eat dog? You can see yourself in the clouds....while your being blown away. This entire video is a brand new high.
BUT there is one part of the video I love. The black and white flash. I can't lie I do that arm thing EVERY time I hear the song.
I do like the song but at the end I always realize that it's cee-lo and I feel nasty...and not in a good way.
Yall should give props to ceelo for being "original" non of yall niggas seen anything like dis before.
This dude deserves his props for his originiality,i bet some other artists will take up on his style ,espciallary that baby fif
am out
why is it that when our black urban performers try and be creative, they think that they have to be spaced out and weird....i love cee lo to death but how can u go from the promise and potental that u gave us with soul food and still standing to turning to the old sandman from the good ol days at the apollo? fuck the internet goin nuts, this niggas nutty... the sad thing is that this dude think that this is creative....making a bong out of aluminum foil is creative!!!!
i wasnt feeling this song at all Mex, i personally liked the gettin grown song better, but that video...i dont know what that was, but i guess its just me, i remember when i first saw the closet freak video, now that i think about it, the song wasnt good, but it wasnt terrible, but all i did was shake my head and laugh at the video, the worst part on the video was the black and white part where its blinking and hes dancing with some other dude, i had to cop some thick ass sunglasses to watch that part
TO the inebriated inbred who said i'd rather see window shopper.... who told your scary self to come out from under the bed????
Anyway the man does what he does and that's be different. Isn't he independent for his solo ventures? Well guess what boys and girls that sells very well overseas. It's sort of a tribute to the funkadelics, and bootsie collins' of the world. Big up to cee-lo because if the man wanted to be stereotypical his lyrical pattern is way better than most of the ppl in the south east and west period!!!
I liked the song and the video even more because it wasn't your mundane,run of the mill usual imagery. Although I must say that the nigga NEEDS to keep his shirt on. Bonecrusher(who?) and Fat Joe that goes out to y'all as well.
Hell,even George Clinton knew when to wrap that shit up.
Oh so you wanna delete my post huh? You niggas aint hip-hop.
Yeah, nigga I'd rather watch "Window Shopper", or "Outta Control Remix".
What happened to freedom of speech?
G-G-G-G-G-G-G-Unit!!!!
What happened to it is that you are supposed to be talking about videos... particularly the videos at hand.
"I'd rather watch Window Shopper and lick on 50 Cent's balls" is so irrelevant it isn't funny. Your comments were irrelevant and sidetracked from what's going on here.
If you want to talk about how much you love the Window Shopper video, here's a novel idea... Why don't you do to the fuckin Window Shopper blog. We have one of those.
P.S.: Fuck freedom of speech. This is my house. You don't have to like it.
G-G-G-Git your ass the fuck on if you don't have anything constructive to add.
That nigga just got smashed on, u CANT be feelin good right now!
Anyway, yeah i was afraid of the dark for 3 weeks after watchin this video.
In the gettin grown video...he had his lil nappy head head son runnin around...
why is his hair red??? Why does he have more hair than daddy??? Whats REALLY good wit Cee-Lo??? He might be on that Kryptonite: EXTRA GREEN flavor or sumtin!
i have a crush on ron mexico.
Suck my dick Ron Mexico! Nigga it's fucking G-Unit for life you pussy. I'm repping G-Unit on all the blogs nigga. You a lil internet thug who just happy he can do a lil editing. I don't give a fuck about you or Ceelo. Ron Mexico, your gay ass needs to come out the "Gay Closet" you bitch ass nigga.
G-G-G-G-G-G-G-Unit!!!!
PS- Ohmybabyface...Eat a dick.
Ron Mexico is bitchmade. Window shoppin ass nigga.
Jrocafella, get of that nigga dick.
G-G-G-G-G-G-G-Unit!!!!
Don't edit my post either, fuck boy.
Y'all have gots to be some of the DUMBEST "Hip Hop" heads I have ever seen! (Notice the quotations). How come y'all don't know that this video is like 3 years old?? Y'all actin like this just came out this morning. I need for y'all to commment on something more substantial for future reference, mmkay??So sad when this is deemed newsworthy. Note to editor: Please only post current affairs and events from here on out. Ya slippin, dawg!
i have a crush on 50cents.
Lil Mama... I don't know if you've ever seen South Park before, but as bitch boy who is mad about my editing and deleting his posts is well aware of... I DO WHAT I WANT.
This was Purple Ribbon week and I selected random videos of Purple Ribbon affiliates. Unfortunately there aren't too many recent ones, but I picked ones that people might find entertaining. We usually keep it current... but if we don't, there's really nothing wrong with that either. Everyone knows how old these videos are. No one's acting like anything. YOU'RE acting like you've discovered some huge accident and you want to be the first kid in the class to tell the teacher.
Go find a dick sandwich.
If you don't like it... you know what you can do... You know... with the dildo and the blowtorch.
CEE-LO IS THE SHIT...I WATCHED THIS VIDEO TIME AFTER TIME WHEN IT CAME OUT..AND I WASNT EVEN HIGH...ITS JUST A FUNNY TRIP...YA'LL ARE TRYING TO BE TOO COOL..TO ANALYTICAL..TO CLOSE MINDED AND LIVING TOO MUCH IN THE NORM...KEEP DOING UR THANG CEE-LOO
Thanks for recognizing the south in your recent blog.
The song "closet freak" is by far better than any "freaky" song that might come out of the G-Unit click in my opinion. And Cee-Lo can out-spit most anyone on a mic if you ask me. If you heard his song "Big Ol Words" (the song right before Closet Freak) on his CD, ya'll would know what I'm talkin about. IT'S SICK!
Cee-lo is a beast on the mic.
Always will be one of my favorties.
A true unsung hero of lyricism.
The nigga is a genius.
AY "50 cent"!!! DONT EVEN MENTION MY NAME, NIGGA! YOU NAMED URSELF AFTER A FAKE ASS THUG THAT NAMED HIMSLEF AFTER SOMEBODY ELSE!!! WHOSE ON WHOSE DICK???
KEEP YA FUCKIN MOUTH SHUT!!!
I agree with a few of the people that posted earlier, Cee-lo is a psycho on the mic and he's severely underrated, he likes to pay homage to funk stars of the past. If you actually pay attention to the lyrics (I know it's hard sometimes for some you guys) the song isn't all about being a freak sexually, it's just about being free to express yourself, "Or when people haven't been where you been and they say you still going too far". But I do agree that video is scary, in a good way though, lol. It's different and that's a good thing in today's rap climate.
