This week we have an album pairing. Two albums side by side, connected by threads.
Up first we have a classic, Soul Food by Goodie Mob. 4 Members from the South defining a sound at the crest of a soon to be wave: Big Gipp, CeeLo Green, Khujo, T-Mo.
Next on deck we have Cole World: A Sideline Story. This album marks Cole's turning point. The album where, in my opinion, he grows into his full voice as a lyricist, a producer, and an artist.
I hope you can hear the connections between the sounds and albums and notice how Cole is cut from the same dyed in wool cloth musical lineage.
