You may have heard of Gnarls Barkley and his hit song Crazy, but you probably didn't realize that Cee Lo the lead singer has been putting out chart toping music for over a decade.
I like to call him the golden goose of music, because everything he touches turns to gold. He used to be a part of Goodie Mob, and carried a successful solo career for years before the Gnarls Barkley phenomenon.
Cee Lo's musical and poetic abilities are unrivaled. He packs so much irony and unconventional juxtaposition of words into every line that it sends the listener into deep philosophical thought.
In one of his songs he writes,
"Basically I'm complicated. I have a hard time taking the easy way. I wouldn't call it schizophrenia. But I'll be at least two people today... and that's ok"
Words are a powerful stimulant. I am in awe of Cee Lo's ability to arrange them so meaningfully. He is definitely on top of my list of favorite living artists in any genre.
Who cares?

Agreed. I believe that his touch on Goodie Mob, DF and Gnarles Barkley just shows how much of a Midas he is.
