In this clip, Big Gipp from the Goodie Mob reflects back on an incident at the 2004 Vibe Awards when an associate of Suge Knight attacked Dr. Dre. He explains that Young Buck ended up getting stabbed because he stood up for Dr. Dre. From there, he explains how Suge's involvement in the occurrence led to the award show getting discontinued. Later in the clip, Big Gipp recalls where he was when he found out that Suge got shot shortly after the incident at The Vibe Awards. He also reacts to the rumor that Jimmy Henchman was involved in the shooting.
Gipp looks back on the release of Goodie Mob's fifth album, "Age Against the Machine," during the heyday of Ceelo Green's solo career. He explains that the group had to make significant changes musically to mesh with the trajectory of Ceelo's chart-topping success as a solo artist at the time. As the conversation moves along, he talks about the group's follow-up album, seven years later, "Survival Kit." The Atlanta native recalls what a thrill it was to work with featured guests such as Andre 3000 and Chuck D. Lastly, he explains how the pandemic brought the group back together. He also addresses the viral video clip of Ceelo falling off of a horse in a nightclub.
