"World Party" is the third studio album by the Atlanta-based, hip hop quartet Goodie Mob. It follows their previous Dirty South classics, Soul Food and Still Standing. This is the last Goodie Mob album with the original four members before their breakup (though all four members have recently joined back together for a new album in 2006). Goodie Mob made two other albums after this one with a shortened roster, "One Monkey Don't Stop No Show" without Cee-Lo and "Livin' Life As Lumberjacks" without Cee-Lo or Big Gipp. "World Party" was released in 1999 under LaFace Records as a more commercial alternative to their usual socially conscious lyricism. What was maybe an attempt to appeal more to the masses was met with mixed reviews from their old fans and made little impact on the ones they were trying to reach. Goodie Mob was dropped from their label as a result of this album's lackluster sales. The song "Rebuilding" should is noted as being one of Kanye West's very first produced tracks to be released on a nationwide album.
