Now pioneers of the ATL-styled hip-hop made famous by themselves as well as Outkast, Goodie Mob are still putting it down for the South. Despite the overwhelming success and popularity of the gangster/baller images associated with Southern rap artists, Goodie Mob have stuck with their original formula. With their sophomore album STILL STANDING, Goodie Mob stay true to the winning element in hip-hop: lyrics. Although the Mob take a somewhat political stance in hip-hop, their music has a more ghetto-styled feel that anything else.

Atlanta-based rap group Goodie Mob (whose name means "The Good Die Mostly Over Bull") were among the first to emerge from Atlanta, Georgia's fertile hip-hop scene. Combining hip-hop with soul music, poetry, and a more organic, less commercial brand of lyricism, Goodie Mob have been trying to recreate the critical success of their debut SOUL FOOD since its 1995 release.
