The Centennial Olympic Games came to Atlanta. But the impact of the Games was felt way before the opening ceremonies. And even as the world celebrated, four voices from Southwest Atlanta cried out for their city.

It was a powerful time in Atlanta when the foursome known as Goodie Mob came together. OutKast had broken through. The Braves were dominating. In pop culture, O.J. was speeding away in a white Bronco. And four SWATS emcees were cooking up a classic at Curtis Mayfield’s place.

Cee-Lo Green was only a teenager when his two buddies formed a rap group named OutKast. He would find his way to the Dungeon, where a chance meeting led to him teaming with three other unique rhymers.

He was rapping around town with his musical mentor, and drawing attention. Before it was cool to be weird, Gipp was Gipp. Before the world had a clear view of ATLien style and swag, Gipp was Gipp. We look at the emergence of Goodie Mob’s resident X-Man.

When they met as high school students, T-Mo and Khujo had no idea how far their newfound friendship was going to take them. This is the story of The Lumberjacks.
