The honor was presented to him last night by BMI Vice President, Writer/Publisher Relations Catherine Brewton and members of Organized Noize and Goodie Mob, as he was recognized as a community leader for his contribution to the Atlanta music scene.
It’s Friday and I’m having flashbacks of the good ol’ Atlanta days again.? You remember Atlanta dontcha? Way before we were named the “Gayest City in America” we were on the grind. An up and coming musical powerhouse.
I want to share this tale of a friend’s encounter with the Goodie Mob back in the day (after the break up) and what was learned from the experience. Also included is a lil video interlude from Goodie Mob ‘s reunion concert in Atlanta as a reminder that real music never dies.
Walk with me on this trip down memory lane…FYI absolutely no names were changed to protect the innocent: Continue Reading…
Rocker Lenny Kravitz‘s “Let Love Rule” tour hit Atlanta Wednesday evening for a showstopping performance at the Tabernacle. I heard that dayum near all of Atlanta joined him onstage as Lenny allowed Dallas Austin, Jermaine Dupri, Nelly and even the Goodie Mob to hit the mic and rock with him during the show. I bet it was amazing!
The afterparty was held at a new spot called The Gold Room Though the Gold Room, located in the former Gold Club building on Piedmont Road.

It’s not open to the public yet, but the club has been hosting quite a few private parties for Atlanta insiders.? From the looks of the photos, Lenny Kravitz’ afterparty was just as hype as his concert at the Tabernacle. The rocker was again joined by Nelly, Dallas Austin, Jermaine Dupri and my boos the Goodie Mob.

I now pronounce this FLASHBACK Friday. Way before Cee-Lo came to his senses and decided to reunite with the group (Goodie Mob Reunion Concert Footage), there was a short documentary developed around the Goodie Mob which carried the name of their “One Monkey Don’t Stop No Show” project.? The entire Dungeon Family, including Outkast, participated in the video and I give the directors much props for putting all this great footage together. If you’re a true southern hip-hop head, this is one video that’ll make your day. Happy Friday!
Video ~ Goodie Mob Documentary (Part 1)
Synopsis:Goodie Mob, based in Atlanta, Georgia, is widely considered one of the founding hip hop acts of the Dirty South movement. 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”, as it’s written on their album covers, stands for “GOOD DIE Mostly Over Bullshit”. Cee-Lo notes in a song off the Soul Food album that, “[If] you take out one ‘O’ it stands for ‘GOD Is Every Man Of Blackness.’ ”
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 and P.A. (Parental Advisory). Goodie was first heard featured on several songs from OutKast’s first album Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik.
Cee-Lo was the most visible member of the group prior to his departure in 2000 (among other projects, he is now recording as Gnarls Barkley), while Big Gipp has made several rounds on other Dungeon Family members’ albums and a solo album Mutant Mindframe, and T-Mo and Khujo form a duo within the group called The Lumberjacks.
