HR1986: HR1986 Goodie Mob; outstanding contributions to music, culture, and social consciousness; recognize

This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring Goodie Mob, the Atlanta hip-hop group made up of Big Gipp, Cee Lo, Khujo, and T Mo. It walks through the group's history, from its 1991 formation as part of the Dungeon Family collective to its influential 1995 debut album Soul Food, and credits the group with helping establish Atlanta as a hub of Southern hip-hop. The resolution does not change any Georgia law or create any program. It simply states that the House recognizes and commends Goodie Mob for their impact on music and social issues such as mass incarceration and police brutality, and it directs the Clerk of the House to prepare and send an official copy of the resolution to the group.

• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute an official copy of the resolution to Goodie Mob.
• Creates no new law, funding, penalty, or program; it is a symbolic honor rather than a legislative mandate.

• It cites the group's broader catalog, including Still Standing, World Party, One Monkey Don't Stop No Show, Age Against the Machine, and Survival Kit, and their influence on later artists.

• A further resolving clause directs the Clerk of the House to make a copy of the resolution available for distribution to Goodie Mob.
