Synopsis

Amazon.com
While there's no debating the material success (excess?) of Southern-fried rap kingpins Cash Money Millionaires, if you dig a little deeper you'll notice that it was the Goodie Mob that really pushed the boundaries of southern hip-hop. So then it's no surprise that founding Mob member Big Gipp's debut album is as unconventional as Andre 3000's dress code (in fact, the Outkast rapper himself was on the boards for the space-age "Boogie Man"). The fact that Mutant Mindframe doesn't list a dozen fashion labels in its lyrics already makes it groundbreaking. Gipp uses his studio time wisely, tackling a range of heavy subjects: for example, the austere "These Times" is a pensive rumination about race relations in the south while "Creeks" pays tribute to the highly publicized child murder victims of 1980s Atlanta. Gipp still has a penchant for flipping different flows. On "Steppin' Out" he smoothes out his vocal cadence (assisted by Dungeon Family member Sleepy Brown's silky crooning). In short, Gipp's solo effort is all you'd come to expect from a Dungeon Family project: witty rhymes spliced together with funk-fuelled beats. --Dalton Higgins

"Big Gipp has SKills for days.in fact I was always more into Goodie Mob a Bit more than Outkast over time.Big Gipp has alot of depth&touches on alot of subject matter that should be heard&never forgotten.especially the Atlanta Child Murders that still takes me back.but the music&Grooves overall don't have enough bite to them.but still worth hearing for Gipps presentation."

Goodie Mob should get back together

"As a fan of the DF, Goodie Mob, and OutKast, it makes me shudder to have to listen through a decent, but not great, solo effort provided by Big Gipp. The Mob used to churn out classics like they were Big Macs. But, that was a day in the past and now we have to deal with the Lumberjacks and 'Lo on his own (though he is fine alone, by all means). Anyway, Gipp spits through a lengthy 16 tracks and does a decent job throughout. I would say that he put forth more effort lyrically on his solo album than he did on One Monkey Don't Stop No Show. "Steppin Out" is great. "Boogie Man" is interesting. But the CD blends together too much and becomes somewhat monotonous, and not at all extravagant. Mob fans get it, though it might disappoint you just a little bit."
