Cameron F. Gipp[1] (born April 28, 1973[2]), better known by his stage name Big Gipp, is an American rapper. He is a member of the Atlanta-based hip hop group Goodie Mob, with whom he has released six studio albums, as well as the duo Ali & Gipp, with whom he has released one. He is known for his slow, drawn-out rapping dialect with political and street-life themed lyrics.[3]
Ali & Gipp's debut studio album, Kinfolk (2007), narrowly entered the Billboard 200. Released independently, his debut solo album, Mutant Mindframe (2003), narrowly did so as well. He received a nomination for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards for his guest appearance alongside Paul Wall and Ali on Nelly's 2005 single "Grillz", which peaked atop the Billboard Hot 100.
