==Background== By the time of the release of ''Dirty South Classics'', member [[CeeLo Green]] was not a part of the Goodie Mob, as he left the group after the release of the group's third studio album, ''[[World Party (album)|World Party]]'' in 1999. In 2002, he dropped his debut album, ''[[Cee-Lo Green and His Perfect Imperfections]]'' also via Arista Records. Member [[Big Gipp]]'s debut solo album, ''[[Mutant Mindframe]]'', was released a few months prior to ''Dirty South Classics'' through the [[independent record label]] [[MNRK Music Group|Koch Records]]. The following year, Goodie Mob (without Cee-Lo) would record and release the group's fourth studio album, ''[[One Monkey Don't Stop No Show (album)|One Monkey Don't Stop No Show]]'', also for Koch Records.
