Sorry for a bit of a break from the countdown, I was taking care of some business in my old stomping grounds and hip-hop’s birthplace. I hope you’ve been enjoying the series so far. Check out past entries that you may have missed: 16-20 21-25 26-30 31-35 36-40 15.

New Release Report 11/9/10: Cee-Lo, Kid Cudi, SuBo and More!
A couple of titles that have had their release dates shuffled around more than a deck of cards finally see the light today, led by Cee-Lo Green’s “The Lady Killa”. The long-awaited third solo effort from the Goodie Mob/Gnarls Barkley member has received some pretty solid reviews so far. If it’s anything like first single “Fuck You” or his cover of Band of Horses’ “No One’s Gonna Love You”, then I’m all over this one. Cee-Lo hasn’t disappointed me yet. […]
Hear Here! Cee-Lo Green Covers Kings of Leon’s “Radioactive”
Cee-Lo covering Southern rock is something that should happen more often. First, the singer/rapper covered Band of Horses’ “No One’s Gonna Love You”.

The Seattle band’s latest album, “Infinite Arms”, fuses Southern rock with sweeping orchestration and harmonies so tight they make the hair on my (not-exactly-infinite) arms stand up. I got the chance to catch them at an intimate record store performance two days before “Arms”, and I was blown away. BoH and Cee-Lo have been doing the Mutual Admiration Society thing for a couple of months now. The former Gnarls […]
Fuck!! Cee-Lo’s “Fuck You” Video is So Fuckin’ Good!!
I assume that if you’re easily offended by so-called “dirty” words, then you’re not a regular here anyway. Cee-Lo’s “Fuck You” song has blown the hell up over the internets, going viral within minutes of it popping up on the airwaves. Despite the fact that some tricky editing is gonna have to take place in order to make this song radio friendly, it’s already created a helluva lot of awareness for Lo’s upcoming “Lady Killer” album, which is scheduled to […]
