CeeLo Is $20 Away From Being On The Street (1995)
Some people are afraid to even debate this in front of strangers, but, it can be said that CeeLo may be a better rapper (and singer) than his equally-talented and revered Dungeon Family brother Andre 3000. For as much music they’ve touched, they’ve only appeared together on songs as rappers a handful of times. Soul Food‘s “Thought Process” marks the second time behind “Git Up, Git Out” the two blessed the same track. Where ‘Dre closes the song with the beat dropping out, it feels like the beat stopped for CeeLo’s verse before his too because the pain in his voice penetrates your soul to the point that you really can’t hear much else. Before ‘Dre rapped about having a hit song but still being “neck to neck” with people living “check to check” on 1996’s “Elevators,” CeeLo can be heard here complaining about not knowing where his next meal is coming from even though he has a video on TV.
