Cee-Lo: Gnarls Barkley Is Reuniting (Video)
From TMZ:
GNARLS BARKLEY IS GETTING BACK TOGETHER … so says lead singer CeeLo Green — and he even told us when it’s happening.
A sleepy CeeLo blew into LAX early Sunday morning when he dropped the reunion news … following years of false promises about a new album.
Prediction time — Outkast pretty much confirmed they’re performing at Coachella next year … and CeeLo first met Gnarls DJ Danger Mouse while touring with Outkast in the 90’s. All 4 remain friendly.
So its highly possible the G.B. reunion could go down at the annual festival in Indio … alongside Outkast.
Yo Gotti Breaks Down ‘I Am’ Track-By-Track
From Vlad TV:
Memphis rapper Yo Gotti recently released his latest full-length album, I Am, last month. In a recent sit down session with Muve Music and Cricket Wireless, Gotti broke the album down. Gotti spoke about the album’s title track, recording the track “I Know” with Atlanta emcee Rich Homie Quan, as well as some the albums content matter.
“I actually recorded this song [“I Am”] right here in Miami, in South Beach. It’s produced by Cool & Dre. And I say this is one of the later songs I actually recorded on the album. This track here is a short summary of my life and everything I was going through,” said the Memphis spitter. “It’s one my favorite tracks on the album.”
Speaking on his collaboration with Rich Homie Quan on the track “I Know” Yo Gotti says, “We recorded that track in Atlanta and I just think it’s a club banger. I think when you hear this here and you’re sitting down you’re gonna stand up. If you in the club you gonna turn up. And we’re just basically telling you that we know a lot of things you may not know.”
Lastly, Gotti spoke on the track “Sorry” and its concept: “This record is basically telling a girl that a man going to be a man regardless. It got nothing to do with you, it got nothing to do with how you gon’ act. We gon’ do regardless. I’m basically telling her I’m sorry.” He also spoke on the track, saying that whether you’re male or female you can relate to its subject matter.

Shane Mosley Speaks On Adrien Broner Following Upset Loss
From Vlad TV:
Former boxing champion “Sugar” Shane Mosley spoke with VladTV recently about Adrien Broner’s loss to Marcos Maidana. While others might be focusing on Broner’s arrogant persona as a reason to bash him for his loss, Mosley on the other hand believes that Adrien showed “a lot of heart” in the fight, after he rose to his feet after being dropped twice and continued fighting. He does believe that Adrien took the fight for granted and probably went in the ring thinking it was going to be another easy win for him.
Shane went on to discuss the possibility of a mega-fight between Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao ever happening and who he feels would win if they ever exchange fists.
