## Background

By the time of the release of *Dirty South Classics*, member [CeeLo Green](/source/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](/source/World_Party_(album))* in 1999. In 2002, he dropped his debut album, *[Cee-Lo Green and His Perfect Imperfections](/source/Cee-Lo_Green_and_His_Perfect_Imperfections)* also via Arista Records. Member [Big Gipp](/source/Big_Gipp)'s debut solo album, *[Mutant Mindframe](/source/Mutant_Mindframe)*, was released a few months prior to *Dirty South Classics* through the [independent record label](/source/Independent_record_label) [Koch Records](/source/MNRK_Music_Group). 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](/source/One_Monkey_Don't_Stop_No_Show_(album))*, also for Koch Records.
