Dirty South Classics is the first greatest hits album by American Southern hip hop quartet Goodie Mob. It was released on December 16, 2003 via Arista Records, and composed of five songs from Soul Food (1995), six songs from Still Standing (1998) and four songs from World Party (1999). Production was handled by Organized Noize. It features guest appearances from Outkast, Backbone and TLC. The album did not make it to the Billboard 200, however, it peaked at number 99 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums in the United States.

Background

By the time of the release of Dirty South Classics, member CeeLo Green was not a part of the Goodie Mob, as he left the group after the release of the group's third studio album, World Party in 1999. In 2002, he dropped his debut album, Cee-Lo Green and His Perfect Imperfections also via Arista Records. Member Big Gipp's debut solo album, Mutant Mindframe, was released a few months prior to Dirty South Classics through the independent record label Koch Records. The following year, Goodie Mob (without Cee-Lo) would record and release the group's fourth studio album, One Monkey Don't Stop No Show, also for Koch Records.
