At his height he was certainly in their league, once you get to that echelon dsicussing who's the better lyricist is mute.

Wrong Cee Lo could go bar for bar with any of them. He may not be "better" but none of them would murk him on a track

I think this latest album is horrible. But Luda indeed has the talent to be a beast but he just doesnt bring it often enough to me

& puts a lot of emphasis on his words adding hype to his punch lines. He's nice, but IMO he tries too hard sometimes and dude in herepointed out his OD use of "like" esp. on one track........that's garbage.

That Vinnie Paz verse sounds like some fake Wu-Tang. I literally LOL'd when I finished reading that. What is he trying to say? There's asecret in the bible that says Aliens created Christ....Originally Posted by MidEastBeast

My man nobody cares about those underground dictionary rhymes except you and the janitor at Rawkus (who at one time probaly thought he was 'bout to "bring real hip hop back" by doing songs with Canibus).
I'ma give you + 1 'cuz you ain't mention Vinnie Paz this time, but exactly like I said, and exactly like you read - none of those people are touchin' Cee-lo.
From Goodie Mob, to "Perfect Imperfections", to "Soul Machine", to everything with Danger Mouse and in between - he's proven himself to be a lyricist that can transcend any genre and a hell of a musician...
And for the right price, he can make yo @!@$ tighter - just ask Solange and Nicole S, Jenniferm Hudson and a whole slew of others...
I am internally evolving entirely
Extensive eclectic expression eloquently
Instantly innovative, Courageously creative
I'm driven, this God given gift it comes naturally to the native
Not a need for the dramatics or the systematic
Simplicities, strictly science and mathematics
The mastermind of the mighty mystical and magical moves
And metaphors manifests masterpieces
Thoroughly fury through the inner mind's eye establishes this syn-thesis
Of these innermost, insightful, intriguing interpretations of extreme intelligence
My commonsense is no co-incidence
Caution: competitors approach carefully
I'm able to see
Rare ranges of distance, I expect respect
There's no tolerance for negligence, never
You'll forever
Feel the wrath of the pure and powerful poetry, permanently
Pre-meditative, political, critical, compellin, story-tellin
Defining desire, faith fuelin the fire
Brilliance, ?? philosophical, psychological willingly waging warfare,
Withstandin, commandin, demandin the listening ears to hear what God's forcin
Instead endorsin education. Equality, not hate
Just revolution of the mind state
Note mere words but emotions
Which is essential, influential provin my people's potential
Militancy, innocence, insight, listen to God then write
Since my birth date I been tight!
(cool, he uses some big words)
and now a Vinnie Paz verse (only because you mentioned him, Vinnie will body Cee-lo lyrically)
...Beware the prophecies of the Tarots!
Alien Spacecraft flying away like Sparrows!
Study the lost prophetic books of the bible
That recites Fallen body energies: spiritual survival
Flying discs seen in Ezekiel 1:3
Granted Kingu a tablet of destinies
Seviates spoke the word of the Bavarian illuminati
I bring forth harmonics of Hiroshima and Nagasaki!
Annunaki planted the seed where I dwell
either vortex turbines pulling me to hell
awareness upon my savannah as omni dimensional
great species has a common memory complex of the social
liquid crystal colloidal membranes responding
to the spectrum of the universal intelligence matrix...
the thesis is that extraterrestrials created Christ
and have a device
that recorded all of Earth's history
and can display it in the form of a hologram precise;
Construction of synthetic humanoids is among us
You have entered the Land Of Nod now, face the deafening thunders
And the spiritual wonders
because the harvest now is coming
Beware the world-wide ancient tunnel system
the government is running
Hectic! Verbal slaughter of the Judeo-Christian Ethic!
No competition. Vinnie on some %&(* you google and research while Cee-lo's verse sounds like an average rapper with a thesaurus.

His whole first album was like that. Crazy mystical rhymes. You can't deny the lyricism though.
It's the type of thing you burn a blunt to, sit back, listen to the lyrics and zone out. Have you having revelations and &*#(

there's a grip of new school underground cats from the South that are lyrically above Luda, i tired to keep my list of them to minimum so I only mentionedCunninLynguist and The Strange Fruit Project.

^Exactly.
Vinnie isn't half the lyricist someone like Jus Allah is but would still murk Cee-lo with no problems.
Son calling LCOB dumpster juice ? Dude prolly hasn't heard anything they have put out. 911 Report > Ceelo's career, and thats not an overstatement.
Dudes are so underground I can't find the video or lyrics ANYWHERE, but if you can download the bonus track on their new album, nearly 7 minutes of verbalrape.
