In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It honors Goodie Mob, the Atlanta hip-hop group made up of Big Gipp, Cee Lo, Khujo, and T Mo, for their role in Southern hip-hop since forming in 1991 as part of the Dungeon Family collective. The resolution walks through the group's history and influence, citing their 1995 debut album Soul Food and later releases, and praises their music for addressing social issues like mass incarceration and police brutality. It closes by directing the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Goodie Mob as a keepsake.

What the bill does

  • Formally recognizes and commends Goodie Mob for their contributions to music, culture, and social consciousness.
  • Credits the group with helping establish Atlanta as a global center of hip-hop and musical influence.
  • Directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to Goodie Mob.
  • Creates no new law, funding, or regulation; it is a symbolic statement of the Senate's position.

Who it affects

This resolution directly names and honors the members of Goodie Mob (Big Gipp, Cee Lo, Khujo, and T Mo). It has no regulatory or financial effect on other Georgians, businesses, or state agencies beyond the Secretary of the Senate's administrative task of distributing a copy.

Why it matters
