Goodfellas is the debut studio album by hip hop group 504 Boyz, released on May 2, 2000, by No Limit Records and Priority Records. 504 Boyz consisted of Master P, Silkk The Shocker, Mystikal, C-Murder, Mac, Krazy and Magic. The production was handled by the Neptunes, Carlos Stephens and Donald XL Robertson, while the album features No Limit labelmates Snoop Dogg, Mercedes, Erica Foxx, Samm, Black Felon/X-Con, Ms. Peaches, Mr. Marcelo, Jamo, Traci/Baby Girl, D.I.G. and Ghetto Commission; other guest performers include Pusha T (who went by the name Terrar), Pharrell Williams and RBX. A tandem of the songs— such as "Beefing", "I Can Tell", and "No Limit"—were previously released on No Limit's 1999 albums.

Goodfellas debuted atop the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and number two on the Billboard 200 (behind only NSYNC's No Strings Attached), with first-week sales of 139,000 copies in the US. The album was supported by two singles: "Wobble Wobble", which peaked at number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Hot Rap Singles, and "Whodi". Planning of the album dates back to 1997, as promotional materials can be found in the liner notes of 1997 No Limit releases. Goodfellas received gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on July 17, 2000.[2]
