We're still obsessed with Janelle Monae and Erykah Badu 's "Q.U.E.E.N." and we see no sign of the obsession fading any time soon. But we're greedy, so we still want to hear more new Monae. While we'll still have to wait for another taste of The Electric Lady , we do have some new Janelle in the form of a feature on Goodie Mob 's "Special Education." We all remember how Monae's last guest spot turned out, so this was a wise move by Cee Lo Green [...]
Though the reunited Goodie Mob have been popping up here and there with live gigs and one-off tracks since 2007, fans have had to endure the frustration of many promised release dates of their first group album since 20042s Cee-Lo-less One Monkey Don't Stop No Show coming and going with no full-length product to be found. That effort, now entitled Age Against The Machine , is now set for an August 27th arrival , and while we won't necessarily be holding our breath for an album that could very well end up [...]
It's hard to believe these words are about to be stated but...here's a new Goodie Mob track that's worth a listen. Titled "Special Education," the Atlanta group's finally back to sounding familiar to their pre-1999 selves and way more fluid in sound and tone than "Fight To Win." The pulsating production works against each MC's thought-heavy lyrics and Janelle Monae provides an almost perfect hook that looks to help disconnect the dots, fighting against the same-old-same in the music and culture. The group's new project, Age Against the Machine [...]
Apologies for those who already know, but before "Crazy" and "Fuck You" and The Voice , Cee-Lo was one fourth of the ridiculously great Atlanta rap group Goodie Mob, whose first two albums are indisputable essential classics and whose third album is kind of sneaky-great. Last year, the group reunited on (of course) The Voice and released a somewhat perplexing new song called " Is That You God ." They've now announced plans for a full-on reunion album with the kinda-hilarious title Age Against The Machine , and its new single is a [...]

It was just yesterday that Cee-Lo revealed the Aug. 27 release date of Goodie Mob 's new album, Age Against the Machine . And, sure enough, we're now hearing the latest cut off the full-length. It's the Janelle Monae -assisted "Special Education" and it sounds a lot like how they all described the album: Public Enemy on acid . Seriously, this is equally aggressive and psychedelic, thanks in part to the video game-y production and each rapper's in-your-face delivery. Listen below and crank up the volume.

During the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, the folks at Billboard caught up with Cee-Lo Green to see if he could speak on what he's been up to musically. As you likely know, he and the rest of Goodie Mob are planning to drop their comeback album, Age Against The Machine , which apparently sounds like Public Enemy on acid . We'll have to wait until it drops on Aug. 27 to judge for ourselves. In addition to that news, he revealed that a third Gnarls Barkley album is in the works, though he has been [...]
Cee Lo at Lollapalooza 2011 ( more by David Andrako ) Cee Lo Green will be heading to Brooklyn this spring to headline the "Electric Soul Circus," which goes down on May 31 at Barclays Center . In addition to headlining, he'll also be performing with his old rap group, Goodie Mob , who he reunited with last year, and Busta Rhymes is on the bill too. Other acts performing include Sklyar Grey, Wordspit & the Illest, Lauriana Mae [...]
Are you still anticipating the new Goodie Mob album, Age Against The Machine ? We are too, of course, though we're really hoping that nothing on there sounds like the god-awful " Fight to Win ". Chances are that was some kind of fluke, because frontman Cee-Lo Green describes the LP as, and I quote, "Public Enemy on acid." Additionally, their manager said that it's a futuristic-sounding effort that will surprise people "in a positive way when they hear it." As for a release date, which hopefully holds true, the album drops June 18. [ via [...]

Welcome to the end of 2012. And possibly the world as a whole if you're so inclined to believe. Once again, we've taken the stray thoughts that fell through the cracks in our Annual Report and compiled them into one (hopefully) comedic list. As my esteemed colleague Jeremy Larson wrote last year , "Year-end summaries, lists, recaps, and reports are just study guides for an exam that’s never happening, you guys ." True, but by listing things and poking a little fun, we're doing our part to remind you that the music industry can be [...]
So you know how Goodie Mob reunited earlier this year and it was a fucking mess ? Well, it seems like Cee-Lo Green and company have actually recorded some tracks worth listening to, like this latest leak, "I'm Set". It was premiered by the Los Angeles Leakers and, surprise surprise, everyone is rapping on here. Yes, that includes Cee-Lo, even though his verse his way too damn short. Anyway, check it out below.

Stop right there! Before you hit play on that video below, I want you to take a second and prepare yourself. Yes, the recent Goodie Mob reunion has been god awful, but what you are about to see will shock and alarm even the most jaded. I am never one to blame an artist for selling out, especially when there is money on the one side of the fence and struggling artist on the other. But what Cee-Lo Green has done over the past 18 months or so is an unprecedented feat in the history of [...]
