Here's what /u/Uintatherium had to say about the album..
Many know Cee-Lo Green today as a massive pop star, the type of person who is simply famous for being famous. Before that, however, Cee-Lo was part of a four-man rap group called Goodie Mob. This group consisted of Cee-Lo, Khujo Goodie, Big Gipp, and T-Mo, and were part of the Atlanta collective known as the Dungeon Family. Cee-Lo and Gipp appeared on OutKast’s first album, Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, which dropped a year before Soul Food. All four rappers have very different styles, but they manage to create a beautiful, spiritual, and cohesive album by virtue of their chemistry and some stellar beats from Organized Noize.
The production on this album exchanged Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik’s laid-back funk vibe in favor of a whole different type of beat. The drums are spare and not very complicated, and all manner of live instrumentation is played out over them, mostly consisting of guitars, pianos, and some harmonicas. A lot of the arrangements are pretty minimal, but very creative, and represent a key progression in the production of Organized Noise, which would evolve again in 1996 with the spacey production of ATLiens. The music takes inspiration from Southern practitioners of soul, gospel, and black spirituals, and you could argue that the rap songs produced are the genre’s answer to these types of songs. The intro to this album is a spiritual, hinting at the heritage of the four rappers and the struggles that they’ve been through.
Southern rap would eventually become very materialistic and vain. Whether it was the Cash Money Millionaires bragging about their bling or Houston’s Swishahouse crew discussing their rims and grills, everything was rooted in having expensive things that you could show off. Goodie Mob is nothing like that, and this album is about poverty and the struggle of being poor and black in the South. It’s a very real record, and the four rappers on it aren’t trying to be someone they’re not or trying to have anything expensive. Their goals mainly involve being free and finally breaking the cycle of oppression they’ve dealt with for so long. Indeed, most of the songs on here are about life in the bad neighborhoods hustling to stay alive and keep the lights on for one more day. It draws a lot of influence from old New York rap, mainly the day-in-the-life storytelling of “The Message” and the righteous fury of Public Enemy, but the music and the rhyming is very Southern, so Southern that Goodie Mob actually coined the term “Dirty South” on the track of the same name.
In my personal opinion this is an overlooked classic album from the mid-90s. The production, rapping, and stories being told are all top-notch, and are innovative both in their ideas and execution. If you want something like OutKast but a bit darker and more street, this is the joint for you. If you enjoyed this album, check out their follow-up album Still Standing. You could argue that it’s an even better album, but I personally prefer Soul Food.

Over the years, Southern rap has come to be associated mostly with hit-factory labels like No Limit and Cash Money, or in its early days Miami bass music. In general, it's never been afforded much critical respect, but that started to change in the '90s, when Atlanta established itself as the home of intelligent, progressive Southern hip-hop. Despite some excellent predecessors, Goodie Mob's debut album, Soul Food, is arguably the city's first true classic, building on the social conscience of Arrested Development and the street smarts and distinctive production of OutKast. In fact, the production team behind the latter's Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, Organized Noize, is also present here, and really hit their stride with a groundbreaking signature sound that reimagines a multitude of Southern musical traditions. Soul Food is built on spare, funky drum programs, Southern-fried guitar picking in the Stax/Volt vein, occasional stabs of blues harmonica, and strong gospel overtones in the piano licks and meditative keyboards. There's an even stronger spiritual flavor in the group's lyrics, based on a conviction that religion has been the saving grace of African-American culture as it's endured centuries of oppression. The album even opens with lead rapper Cee-Lo singing an original spiritual called 'Free.' Goodie Mob is firmly grounded in reality, though -- they rail against a system stacked against poverty-stricken blacks, and are more than willing to defend themselves in a harsh environment, as on the gritty street tales 'Dirty South,' the eerie single 'Cell Therapy,' and 'The Coming.' The meat of the album, however, lies in its more reflective moments: the philosophical 'Thought Process'; 'Sesame Street,' a reminiscence on growing up poor and black; 'Guess Who,' one of hip-hop's greatest mama tributes ever; and the warm title track, which is about exactly what it says. If soul food was aptly named for its spiritual nourishment, the same is true of this underappreciated gem. ~ Steve Huey
