In this clip, Big Gipp discussed the ups and downs he faced as a member of Goodie Mob and as an independent solo artist following the release of Goodie Mob’s second album, “Still Standing.” Big Gipp described how influx everything was when Babyface and LA Reid sold LaFace, leaving the group “without a base.” He also opened up about trying to find a landing spot for the group and how everyone was upset with CeeLo based on how he left the group at the time.

Later, Big Gipp talked about how his hit single with Sleepy Brown, “Steppin’ Out,” potentially inspired Big Boi and Sleepy Brown to make “I Like the Way You Move” after playing the track for him before it was released. He also recalled around the same time being in the studio recording with Goodie Mob, who had recently reunited when CeeLo received the beat for “Crazy” produced by Danger Mouse, and CeeLo laying down his vocals in one take. Big Gipp said the CeeLo was off to London the next day after Danger Mouse had it played on the radio in the UK, thus forming Gnarls Barkley. Gipp said he didn’t end up seeing CeeLo again for five years after that record took off.
