Is Anyone Else Bothered By This GQ Magazine Feature On Cee Lo Green?

Dungeon Family GQ


Like most folks I love some Cee Lo Green I really do, but this GQ interview is just all wrong. First off, I can't say I agree with the writer of the feature when they refer to Cee Lo as "the most consistently culturally relevant member of The Dungeon Family." That's a "shots fired" kind of statement and mainstream America was only looking for Cee Lo after he released "Fuck You" and it's only been a year and some change since that was released. Yea, he had some decent buzz as a member of Gnarls Barkley thanks to the song "Crazy" but 2010 was clearly Cee Lo's year. Oh, and if I had to choose a Dungeon Fam member for that ridiculous "most consistently culturally relevant member of The Dungeon Family" title it would be Big Boi.

Also, why in the world would you have a photoshoot featuring an entire crew and only include an interview with one of them? Although the "Cee Lo Of The Dungeon Family" title is as clear as day it's still somewhat misleading. And no GQ we don't find that video on your Website of Big Rube getting his Def Poetry Jam on suffice. We all know magazine Websites are where the leftovers go.

At the end of the day it feels like the more mainstream outlets like GQ focus on Cee Lo as a solo artist the further we get from that Goodie Mob album we were promised and that's just sad. Read the full feature over at GQ.com.
