Cee Lo Wanted Eminem for "White Power" on Goodie Mob Comeback Album, But Couldn't Make It Work

The return of Goodie Mob has sparked excitement for fans of the cult favorite hip-hop group, as well as for new fans drawn in by the recent popularity of member Cee Lo Green. One aspect that would have doubled the fans pleasure was if Eminem made an appearance on the group's new track "White Power," but it didn't work out. The track will revolve around a black outlook on the concept of white power.

"I would love to stand beside him on a sentiment, on a stance like that and just as a fan of his, I just wanted to hear him spit crazy on this particular track," he said. "It sounds really unorthodox; it didn't sound like anything I had ever heard him rhyme on before."

You can see Green's interview on MTV's RapFix below.

Despite the request of Green along with fellow members Big Gipp, Khujo and T-Mo, Eminem didn't take part. There's no hard feelings, said the "F--- You" songsmith and "The Voice" judge.

"I was just as a fan, really anticipating what he could do it," Green said. "I don't know for whatever reason we weren't able to do it."

He confirmed that "White Power" still made the final track list for the album. "Age Against The Machine" is slotted for release on August 27. It will be Goodie Mob's first effort since 2004's "One Monkey Don't Stop No Show." Eminem is working on a new album as well, although there's been no word as to a release date or title for the project.
