...Southern totems on his superb solo debut, Cee-lo Green and His Perfect Imperfections. He lets his individuality, not his geography, do the talking. On Big Ole Words (Damn) Cee-lo rhymes, "I have millenniums of material and rivers of rhythm/An entire ocean of emotion that's enlightened to swim in."

...thankfully back in the day our requirements were a little different. We had to swim the length of the pool in the MAC. We didn’t have those prerequisites to satisfy, thank goodness.
