Dre verse on Thought Process

"Did not think I'd be the one to give in to arbortion, label me murderer, because my azz is scortchin hot from the glock that sits under my seat...."

Start noddin xtra hard when you hear the beat drop out and they get that soul clap acapella goin, ole girl singin

 

[Ineedmoney504]

soul food, cell therapy is one of my favorite songs ever

 

[Don Mack]

Had to go with Still Standing. It had to grow on me because of how much more experimental the music was but once it did I loved it. The lyrics were definitely stepped up on that album too.

 

[Ohene]

One of the realest songs



I think about shyt like this all the time

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

"So what's your angle? try to separate me from the blood is disrespect like coming in my home and not wiping your feet on tha rug"

Then when that bass hit gotdamnyamanGipp....fwiw, I really, REALLY hate Cee-Lo now

 

[Robbie3000]

at all the comments. I feel the same way brehs. Goodie MOb was more than just a rap group to me

They confirmed the decision i had made and path i was taking to be more aware and conscious. It was a spring board that sent me into so many directions in search of "knowledge".

These two albums have something to do with the man i am today.

i really think if they had put beautiful skin out 1st world party would have never happened because they would have went platinum. at the same time the plan during that time was for cee-lo to do a solo afterwards and khujo and t-mo to do a lumberjack. i wanna say around the still standing release gipp said he didnt want to do a solo at that point. so who knows what would have happened to them if that had materialized.

they really thought the dungeon family album was gonna be the salvation of goodie mob, but it didnt sell. then khujo lost his leg, and everything seemed to add to the friction and distance between cee-lo and the rest of them.

love those two albums as much as any other.

They way Cee-Lo channeled his inner hood Martin/Malcolm on "Fighting" shakes me up to this day. "Yeah it's true, Uncle Sam wants you to be a devil too. See he's jealous because his skin is a curse...but's what's worse, is if I put it in a verse y'all listen to some bullshyt first!"

Artists owe it to the kids to give them food for thought like this. I'm blessed to have been a hip hop fan in the 90's.

Goodie Mob - I Didn't Ask To Come - YouTube

I think about shyt like this all the time

"Ain't no use in being sad, leavin here was probably the best gift he ever had, we should be glad. Maybe his life was something that he had to give, to show me that I need to be responsible by how I live."



Khujo damn near droppin his end of the casket because his palms is wet, to Lo finding solace through the death of his loved one......

Soul Food was like journey, the sh1t was so relatable. Damn near everything they was speakin on I had went through or how I was feeling at the time. This was the first album that had me reflecting like that for the ENTIRE album.

 

[JulesWinfield]

I still tear up when Guess Who and Sesame Street come on.

 

[The_Hillsta]

^^^^What does it is Lo's singin at the very end of Guess Who

 

[The_Hillsta]

"Church's droppin chicken in yesterday's grease didn't go together with this quart of mickeys...."

"Fast food got me feelin sick, them crackkka's think they slick, by
tryna make this bullsh1t affordable"

 

[JulesWinfield]

^^^^What does it is Lo's singin at the very end of Guess Who

his whole verse felt like he was speaking about me

my mama, destination unknown...
stepped out on your own...
you was barely even grown..
but you're still my mama.....
i never knew my dad...
