Not a day passes without some new Common content. It's good to see they're going hard to support this album, because it definitely deserves it. The other day Common stopped by the new Mecca for all things Hip-Hop, The Ellen DeGeneres show, and performed "Make My Day" off UMC with some help from Mr. Cee-Lo Green. Lol at Common 2 steppin' with Ellen.
On November 13th The Roots played a special private show at Chicago's Vic Theater, along with Cee-Lo. Thanks to RubyHornet we got some live footage from the night, including vid of some Roots' faves, "Rising Up," (which kicks off with Tuba Gooding, Jr. on the sousaphone, and The Roots on the hand-claps), "In The Music," "Star," and an incredible ?uesto drum solo, featuring Frankie Knuckles on percussion. K-Mack, I see you. Rubyhornet also managed to catch Cee-Lo's 30 minute set with The Legendary, which included some Goodie Mob, some Gnarls (of course), and some solo joints. We're also treated to an interview with Cee-Lo where he speaks on future projects, Chi-town, and his growth as a performer. After the jump we've got all the videos, although visual quality isn't spectacular, they're still definitely worth the watch (and listen).
Last week's MGD "Genuine Flow Tour" in Chicago featured The Roots as well as Cee-Lo. Prior to the show, DJBooth got a ten minute interview with Cee-Lo Green. Among the topics discussed were Barack Obama's coming entrance into the White House, the future of Gnarls Barkley, and the 2009 return of Goodie Mob.
The latest video from Estelle's album, Shine, is here. The song is called "Pretty Please (Love Me)" and features Cee-Lo with production from Jack Splash. An Amazing track from one of the more underrated R&B albums of the year.
