Trying to regain their Southern supremacy, the Miller boys have banded together once again, but this time in the form of the 504 Boyz, to try and put No Limit back on top. Originally advertised as a group consisting of Master P, Sillk, and Mystikal, Goodfellas is more of a compilation than a group project, but still has that signature sound and picks up right where the crew left off. From the opening hood anthem "Roll, Roll," to the appropriately titled closer, "No Limit," this album is full of deep, 808 bass, ghetto street themes, and an abundance of joints to tear the club up to. This album is your typical "golden tank" release with a few changes. The biggest one is P himself as he has made his voice and flow a littler angrier and rougher. This change is evident on tracks like "Check'em," "If You Real, Keep It Real," and the already club friendly "Wobble, Wobble." Of course a No Limit release couldn't be complete without some new soldiers to show up on the mic. The newest voice who is all over the album is Krazy. He will no doubt earn another shiny plaque for No Limit as he sounds very similar to the late, great Tupac. Tracks like "Big Toys" and "Souljas," which funny enough features Snoop and RBX, show that his similarity and likeness is uncanny. For the most part this album is your typical No Limit release and that is its strength along with its weakness. People will surely buy it because of the shiny tank but it would have been nice to see some sort of evolving from the Miller camp considering they have been out of the limelight for a minute now. It's just another 70 plus minutes of being "Bout It, Bout It," which can only get so entertaining after the millionth time you hear it. By JC
