And it's not just about a new world order. Shuckin' and jivin' and jumping around in flashy suits," Cee-lo continues. The other side of that is we don't need to be dancing no more. Instead, they bring what's stressing them to the clubs the fighting and the brawling. "Part of it is us saying people don't have a release anymore. Hutton of hip-hop: When he speaks, everyone shuts the **** up." XXL Magazine claims that "Cee-lo is the E.F. "The title has a dual meaning," explains Cee-lo, one of raps most respected voices. The first release off Still Standing is "They Don't Dance No Mo'". Both Cee-lo and T-Mo have stepped into the production arena this time as well by contributing a track a piece (Ghettology and Greeny Green, respectively).

It is safe to say Goodie Mob has achieved both of their goals. "We started out to be purposeful, but I'm glad this music is entertaining folk too." "I want anyone who picks up Still Standing to learn from our wins and our losses," says Big Gipp. The powerful lyrics Goodie Mob is hailed for are certain to stimulate thoughts, as they are meant to educate as well as entertain. His reputation as a poet, thinker and social commentator is legendary in the southern hip-hop community.Ĭee-Lo was the most visible member of the group prior to his departure in 2000 due in part to his distinct voice, while Big Gipp has made several rounds on other Dungeon Family members’ albums, and T-Mo and Khujo form a duo within the group called The Lumberjacks. Goodie was first heard reciting haunting politically charged poetry on several songs from OutKast’s first album Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik. Its members were all born in Atlanta, and the group is based there with the rest of the Dungeon Family, a collective which includes OutKast, Witch Doctor and P.A. Cee-Lo notes in a song off the Soul Food album that, “ you take out one ‘O’ it stands for ‘GOD Is Every Man Of blackness.’ “ “GOODIE MOb”, as it’s written on their album covers, means the “GOOD DIE Mostly Over bullshit”. Members Cee-Lo (Thomas Callaway), Khujo Goodie (Willie Knighton, Jr.), T-Mo Goodie (Robert Barnett), and Big Gipp (Cameron Gipp) make up the group, which has been functioning since 1995. Goodie Mob, based in Atlanta, Georgia, is widely considered one of the founding hip hop acts of the (commerically viable) Dirty South movement.
