Ive known its been by Danger and C-lo, some of my friends really dug it for a short while, i tried to explain it was a two man show, it was hard to let them know who was behind the music on that
"who is c-lo" "who is dangermouse"

"remember that cd i played with the aqua teen hunger force, those beats were danger"

"sorry c-lo they dont know you"

wasnt hip hop to me at all, just another pop rnb thing, but i didnt mind listening to it on the radio at all.. good dance tune for the ladies

YoYoPo said: saw Gnarls on telly couple days ago. They had violins, a drummer, some backing singers and all! DM was hunched over a keyboard in the background. Also they were all wearing labcoats, bowties and these same glasses. Was interesting, especially when the presenters made out that gnarls barkley was just the singer (cee lo)...

saw that, actually thought that was pretty cool, the version they did , i'm sort of warming to the project, but still can't feel the album!

i personally liked the album a lot. I got into it today actually and have listened to it several times. First I would like to say that DM collaborations with Gorillaz were classic anything put out by that group is classic. You have to listen to this album from a different perspective which is that this definitely isn't a hip-hop album. If people hear "crazy" then everyone's assumptions is that it's gonna be a hip-hop album. You have to listen to this with open ears. It's real cool it's got a lot of elements you wouldn't think of meshing together. I'm not a fan of any of DM's projects but this is the one that I am really into.

I do wish we lived in a world where labels didn't keep people from appreciating good music.

i agree 100% with that to be honest just wasn't feeling it and i love DM just couldn't get myself to feel it much as i wanted to !
I also agree with the point that if it gets people to ge into other hip-hop related to it as a result thats great.
Peace!

I do wish we lived in a world where labels didn't keep people from appreciating good music. I listen to everything, because I know occasionally good tunes are made - no matter who the source is. I try not to allow where it comes from to pervert that.
Music transcends the ills of man - simple and plain.

YoYoPo said: yes also what the hell does 'Gnarls Barkley' mean?

I believe its in jest. Charles Barkley is an out spoken retired basketball player here in the US.

Yeah I'm the same, the charts too me are just a list of which Labels and PR companies have the most clout, nothing to do with music quality anymore.

I wasn't actually hating on this at all. I'm just saying when I found out who was actually behind that track I was surprised like 'oh sh!t!' because I just thought it was just another pop song. It was just background music on the radio you know? The fact that it is by DM and Cee-lo I find that dope, I mean it just got to number 1 here in the UK (not that I really follow that chart ting), it's like gorillaz where everyone is feeling it but no-one actually knows who is behind it. How many people will now have heard of MF Doom? it's fresh.

It's not hip hop and it's not my kind of thing (those 2 arent related) but it's cool, props to them man

I would do a smiley fest but that one just looks like a dude with one big tooth to me (!?)
