I'll admit that "Soul Food" isn't one of the best tracks, but it is
listenable. Overall, the album is phat!!! Like I said in alt.rap, it held my
attention much better than Outkast did on their first joint.

"Soul Food" is a SOLID album. I would encourage ya'll to buy it.
Maybe even before the GZA just for a change of pace. Don't misunderstand,
"Liquid swords" is dope as hell, but it's different than "Soul Food".

Peace,

I was pretty dissappointed with Soul Food... I even had to take it back.
I was looking forward to this album the most, considering that I feel
that Organized Noize are my favorite producers... but after listening to
it I felt it wasn't at all solid. Cee-Lo is an excellent rapper, Gipp
is ok, but Kudjo is HORRIBLE, as with the other kid. I'm still wondering
why they let those two into the group, because all the early Goodie Mob
interviews I read just had Cee-Lo and Big Gipp... anyway, the best tracks
on the album, aside from Cell Therapy, had guest rappers - Dirty South,
The Coming, etc... I really tried to give it a chance, but no go...
