 RapReviews.com Feature for July 20, 2004 - Goodie Mob's "One Monkey Don't Stop No Show"
Goodie Mob helped Outkast put Atlanta -and the south for that matter- on the map back in '95 with their classic "Soul Food." If Outkast represented the southernplayalisticpimps of the south, Goodie Mob repped the nitty-gritty gangstas.
Goodie Mob always had the unique culinary skills to cook all their street science into soul food that sounded good enough to eat, which very often is a problem with socially conscious rappers.
Goodie Mob used the same controversy to promote their own release, "One Monkey Don't Stop No Show." But to fans, left with uneasy stomachs after "World Party," Goodie Mob's comeback comes somewhat tainted with commercial intent, based on shifting controversy.

It's obvious that the Goodie Mob have every intention of reclaiming their place on the mixtapes of thoughtful 'heads across the nation.
Whatever transpired between the remaining Goodies and Cee-Lo, it's been pretty smoothly brushed under the rug -- if you're looking for another "Dre Day", with Cee-Lo filling the role of Eazy-E, the Goodie Mob is much to polite to oblige.
Unfortunately, like a lot of rap groups, the default setting for a lot of this filler seems to be the kind of lazy gangsta posturing that groups like the Goodie Mob were supposed to put an end to in the first place.

 Goodie Mob --- Ink Blot Magazine
The Goodie Mob, namely Thomas Burton (Cee-Lo), Willie Knighton (Khujo), Robert Barnett (T-Mo) and Cameron Gipp (Big Gipp), still one of the few Atlanta-based hip-hop groups to achieve national success, absolutely personify modern-day Atlanta, in both their achievements and their muddled, Jim Crow-shackled history.
The only hip-hop groups to use live instruments either on wax or in live performances are Outkast, Goodie Mob, the Roots and the Fugees, both as a group and in solo ventures, and not too many people would resist the idea that those groups also put on incredibly exciting concerts.
Nearly all of Goodie's music, even the singles they've released, have been mid-tempo songs like the organic "Soul Food" and the R&B radio-friendly "Beautiful Skin." The constant complaint from deejays, especially those in the clubs, was that 80 bpm just wasn't cutting it.

 The Lumberjacks: The Goodie Mob Presents... Livin' Life as Lumberjacks - PopMatters Music Review
So it is for the Goodie Mob, who started with four rappers and are now down to two on their latest record.
Other than as a reason to show Khujo and T-Mo on the cover with huge oily chainsaws in a grimey deforestation scene, the Lumberjacks pseudonym doesn't hide the fact that Goodie Mob is now down to two, and the rest, in their eyes, is clearly lumber.
The best thing the Goodie Mob and the Lumberjacks have going for them is that they adopted the electronic style before Lil' Jon made it extremely cool.

 Goodie Mob Tribute
GOODIE MOB is an acronym for "The good die mostly over Bull".
Example : I can remember watching The Source Awards where Goodie had been nominated, and they showed a lil' clip of the vid for "Black Ice" (the only video I never could find), and in the clip there was a front porch of a house.
I will confess that back in '99, 2000, I was so Goodie crazed that I waited in the rain with no umbrella (and I'm quite a girlie-girl) to see them perform in Columbus, Ohio.

It's a very bad sign when a hip-hop crew include a dictionary of their own slang in the liner notes, but that's only the start of the problems with Goodie Mob's second album.
The Atlanta quartet's debut, Soul Food, was a little uninspired on the rhyme side, but it had some of the weirdest, wildest music ever to be graced with raps and a perspective that owed a lot to old Southern blues.
What little emerges from the murk is still content-free dealers-guns-and-money stuff, and it's especially annoying when the Mob fall into a lock-step Bone Thugs-N-Harmony style (exception: the profession of faith "Inshallah").
