World Party is the third studio album by the American hip hop quartet Goodie Mob. It was released on December 21, 1999, via LaFace/Arista Records. The recording sessions took place at the Dungeon in SWATS, at Studio 56 in Los Angeles, at Lion's Den Studio and Unique Recording Studios in New York City, at Stankonia Recording, DARP Studios, Silent Sound Studios, Songbird Studios, PatchWerk Recording Studios and Doppler Studios in Atlanta. The album was produced by Organized Noize, Deric "D-Dot" Angelettie, CeeLo Green, Coptic, Cyptron, Dallas Austin, Derrick Trotman, Easy Mo Bee, Kanye West, Mr. DJ, Rondal Rucker, and T-Mo. It features guest appearances from Backbone, Sleepy Brown, Big Boi, Joi, and TLC. The album peaked at number 48 on the Billboard 200 and number 8 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums in the United States. On January 24, 2000, it received Gold status by the Recording Industry Association of America for selling 500,000 copies.

The album spawned two singles: "Get Rich to This", which peaked at No. 65 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and No. 59 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay, and "What It Ain't (Ghetto Enuff)".

The album was the group's last album with the original four members until Age Against the Machine in 2013.  

Former National Football League cornerback Asante Samuel has a tattoo on his left arm that says "Get Rich to This", because he liked that song in college. ^[7]
