This CD will sound great 20 years from today. I has everything it takes to become a classic - great beats, great vocals, great sound, and creative lyrics. At least 7 tracks can compete for "the best track" title - Thought Process, Dirty South, Soul Food, I didn't ask to come, Call Therapy, The day After, and Guess Who. And the rest are excellent too...
Goodie Mob manage to sound hardcore without loosing the funk that is so appealling in the Atlanta scene. In my mind they even out-funk the great Outkast crew !
So, if I need a CD I know will make me feel great whenever it is played, this is certainly one. HIGHLY recommended.

Beats that bounce, Rap that flows, and these cats can sing too! The only guys that can rival Outkast for the south Goodie MOb meshes hard rapping verses, fast singing/rap verses (kinda like how bone thugs rap) with tight corus' and bumpin beats. Check out their singing skills on the first track "Free". Best tracks and classics for sure: "Cell therapy", "Soul Food" and "Live at the O.M.N.I". If you like their 2nd effort "Still standing" than you'll definitely this first album effort.

When you think of Southern rock, you think Lynyrd Skynyrd. When you think Southern blues, you think of Robert Johnson. When you think of Southern rap, you should think of Goodie MOb (yes, that "O" is supposed to be capitalized). Unfortunately, all too many people think about Juvenile and Master P. These guys are makin' money, but their lyrics have no substance. Sure "Back that a** up" is a clever catch phrase, but staying power? Nah. Them boys are gonna fall off any day now. The Goodie MOb proved to everyone that they were here to stay with their debut album, "Soul Food." This was the pinnacle of Organized Noize production with maybe the exception of Outkast's "ATLiens" album. The musicality evoked warm summer evenings, street corners and Sunday afternoon barbecues all at the same time, while Cee-Lo, Gipp, T-Mo and Khujo held down the lyrics with an iron fist, speaking eloquently and at some length (the songs on this mofo are loooong! I loved it!) about day-to-day life and just stayin' alive in general. What I enjoyed so much was the inclusion of spirituality in their lyrics, but not so much that it weighed down the record. Just enough to give a clear message that Goodie wasn't all about bangin' and slangin'. This is a fantastic record, and anyone who considers themselves true hip-hop fans should have it in their collection.
