Andre 3000 and Big Boi might hold the current copyright to eccentric Southern hip-hop, but their Atlanta brethren Goodie Mob first patented the style, serving up street-wise paranoia on their 1995 debut, Soul Food, and beating OutKast to the black-rock punch on 1998's vastly underrated Still Standing. Annoyingly, this greatest-hits set gives as much room to Goodie's third and final album, the dull World Party, as to its first two. But early cuts such as the melancholy "Goodie Bag" and the vigorous, sweaty "Black Ice" are revealed as forgotten gems, and the group's street-corner preacher Cee-Lo shines on "Beautiful Skin" and "Still Standing."
