GOODIE MOB Reunite For 'Remember Atlanta' Concert

ATLANTA â€" A downpour couldn't cool Atlanta's excitement for pioneering Southern hip-hop group Goodie Mob's reunion show on Saturday night, which was billed "Remember Atlanta." Cee-Lo, Khujo, Big Gipp and T-Mo hit the stage at Masquerade Music Park for the first time as a complete unit in a decade (although the group did not formally disband until 2002).

Sadly, Outkast's Andre 3000 wasn't there to rap his verse on the song, but instead the female DJ cut straight into Gnarls Barkley's 2006 hit "Crazy." After finishing the song, Cee-Lo told the crowd in between chuckles that he was a talented young man and could do karate and tap dance. He also said that he could do a great Frankie Beverly and Maze impression, and the band broke into Maze's classic "Before I Let You Go," with Cee-Lo displaying his impressive vocal abilities yet again. The show also featured guest appearances from Sleepy Brown, Lil Will and Outkast's Big Boi, making a truly historic night for Atlanta's music scene.
