AJC - In 1995, when Goodie Mob released its debut album, “Soul Food,” gangsta rappers were feuding coast to coast. The four young men from southwest Atlanta were a sore thumb on the hip-hop landscape preaching revolution one socially conscious-lyric-and-funk-infused melody at a time.

Saturday’s show, titled Remember Atlanta, is a musical tour of the city’s hip-hop scene, said event producer Jerald McBride. Local poet Georgia Me will guide the audience through the musical styles of hood repping to crunk, right up to the big Goodie Mob finish.

UPH -- I'm actually glad to see this reunion happen.  It looks like they have put all of their differences to the side for the greater cause.  Hopefully, they will spark another movement of conscious and thought provoking music.  As Cee-Lo would put it, "we were fighting the Civil Rights for Southern hip-hop."   Let's hope this time that they can withstand the challenges of internal conflict.
