this album truly defines the Bronx sounds and atmospheres. It can't drive you anywhere else.
all the tracks are pure gold apart the two Next Level versions that are quite weak, in my humble opinion -
Edited 5 years agoI fucking love this LP to death... this sounds SO New York. A.G. was one of the illest on the mic, especially during 95-98.... btw: Next Level --> Showbiz version > Premier version. It´s one of the very few Premier beats from that era I never got used to. Show´s version is fire...

Very much a slow-burning grower, particularly if you were previously taken by the untouchable Runaway Slave (in the running for one of my favorite hip-hop albums ever). On Goodfellas, the atmosphere is much, much darker, dustier, and colder. Show has dropped the mic leaving A.G. and his cohorts D-Shot, Party Arty, and Wally World to pick up the slack. The beats here are overwhelmingly stark and minimal, even more so than some of Show's other outside production credits around the time. While this takes a good many listens to break through to, the results are still masterful, and Show's crates have impressively reached to stranger corners of the music world (the soundtrack to Altered States and Delia Derbyshire to use two notable examples). One of the only melodic respites from the hard-as-nails boom-bap comes with both Show and Premier's distinctively different yet simultaneously brilliant takes on "The Next Level," a stellar a single as the group would ever release. Elsewhere, lots of deep, dank head-crackers: "Check It Out," "Got Your Back," "Medicine," "Neighborhood Sickness," "You Want It." Notably, the tracklisting changed from the initial promo tape, with a few of the album's potentially best cuts ("Under Pressure" among them) getting left on the cutting room floor. Regardless, still very worth the find, even if it takes its time to sink in.
