in 1998, goodie mob released their second album "still standing". the album continued the group's style of social commentary. ceelo's singing abilities have been used more often. their third album, 'world party']', has moved away from its gritty (hard-edged) style. it instead incorporated lighter beats and party related subject matter. during the production of the album, ceelo left the group for a solo career when he was unhappy with the direction of the project. after goodie mob's fourth album, "one monkey don't stop no show", was released in 2004, big gipp also left the group.
