Goodfellas

Even as the Cash Money clique continues to twist its formula just enough to keep its singles intriguing, Master P's No Limit posse seems unable to move off the cheesy-production-and-gangsta-cliché tip. Goodfellas' most notable track, the single "Wobble Wobble," praises the female posterior with none of the charm of Juvenile's "Back That Azz Up," which may still be in heavy rotation on the Box when the 504 Boyz's next lame album appears. As for the rest of this one, the group's gruff but monotonous rhyming on the likes of "If You Real, Keep It Real," "Roll, Roll," and "Beefing" makes the thug life sound more boring than finishing school and getting a good job somewhere off the streets. --Rickey Wright
