Goodie Mob's first album "Soul Food" is a must have and must listen.

Quote :

" Dirty South." Rapper Bun B, of the Grammy-nominated group UGK, says that Goodie Mob's debut album inspires his life and music to this day. I made a very real connection with that album. At the very least, the music was extremely entertaining, extremely enjoyable. But if you really got into listening to the wordplay — the lyricism — it really was trying to make you understand: "Look. The way they got you locked down in your 'hood is the way they've always had us locked down in society." You actually took something home after you finished dancing. You actually learned something. And there's not a lot of people that can say they can do that in the course of a dance song. I think Goodie Mob are great examples of that. Soul food is gut food, you know what I'm saying? It's food that sticks to you. We as Southern musicians and Southern artists, I think, we were all raised on a lot of rhythm and blues, and soul music. And we take a lot of those influences and put it into our music. So even though we may be rapping sometimes about cars, there's a lot of times where we talk about real-life things. So if you want music that's just not being made to get your money, but music that's being made to really inspire you, then Soul Food is that album."

A heaping helping of fried chicken
Macaroni and cheese and collard greens
Too big for my jeans
Smoke steams from under the lid that's on the pot
Ain't never had allot but thankful for
The little that I got
