Along with OutKast pals Andre 3000 and Big Boi, Goodie Mob helped ignite Atlanta’s now famously fertile rap scene.
Singer/rapper CeeLo Green departed Goodie Mob after that. The group’s three remaining members made the unfortunately titled LP “One Monkey Don’t Stop No Show.” Green found mainstream fame with Gnarles Barkley, a collabo with producer Danger Mouse, and their instantly classic hit “Crazy.” The Green solo smash “F—K You” followed. Then his stint on hit TV show “The Voice.”
Khujo, are you enjoying being in Goodie Mob now than you did back in the ‘90s when you all were starting out? You’ve published a book on the “Dirty South” rap scene, titled “Straight Out of the ‘A’”. Back in the ‘90s, could you tell something special was happening, as it was happening? And why do you think Atlanta was such a ripe place for hip-hop?
When you rap in a Goodie Mob song, is it always lyrics you wrote? Or sometimes do you all rap a lyric another member of the group wrote? Because that sometimes works differently in different rap groups. Well, right now were definitely in the mix of putting together a scripted television series about the Goodie Mob. The origin, how we got together. Everything that we can remember, you know what I’m saying. I’m definitely happy about that man, and we may have something sometime the top of next year, maybe the middle of next year.
