[Mahlhavoc]

I think we got a bunch of pussy ass wanna be gangsters that got clipped before the battle even started!

If this is how gangsters roll, to some happy sounding shit, i prefer to be pussy ass.

 

[Iron Keys]

We ll talk again when one of the Godfather types scored first place, young padawan.

yeah there's two beats here that i think are too godfathery as opposed to goodfellary, but will probably win.

I honestly can't find even one really "goodfellary"... can you?

[GuttaTennekey]

wow!

I had a strong suspicion there wouldn't be a big turnout when I started seeing a few people express difficulty and chicken out. But wow.

Wow.

Not even 10?!

For the 1st Beat This back? And a GOODFELLAS theme?!

You all owe Fade an apology by completely filling out every battle for the rest of the year.

Y'all cut from a weak cloth.

I would of loved to enter this one but unfortunately I'm in the process of moving and relocating my studio and everything is packed up....hate I missed it though

Yeah, mine.

Guess that means you gotta vote for it.

ah bummer, that's fair. We missin you out here!

i thought it was gonna be to do with vocals or something.

Tbh, @crog85 should just apologise everytime he enters

 

[TWU]

I knew on beforehand this theme wouldn't have a lot of entries.

I didn't watch Goodfellas and as I was scanning thru some of the 'soundtracks', it was basically American 60's or 70's music. So I wasn't able to catch the vibe of it. A gunshot here and there or go Godfather just ain't it.
For this reason, I'm not going to cast a vote.

Good luck to all who entered!

Gentle reminder :

The theme is "You must make a beat that is inspired by the movie GOODFELLAS."

It does not mean sampling from the soundtrack or even inspired by the soundtrack...

And @Fade even explained it :
"This also means it should be a GANGSTER/MOB beat".

What makes it "Goodfellas" then? Putting samples from the film on the beat?

Yeah i wasn't too hyped. Goodfellas is one of my favorite movies, but for hip hop, i find it overused and kinda gimmicky. Annoyed when I heard nicky and that funny clown bit more than once.

Ridiculous ain't it. Wtf is a mob beat, Italian orchestra shit?

 

[Face Valid]

Couldn't join this one as life is getting in the way.
Wasn't really vibing with the beats though. Was hoping for some east coast boom bap stuff.
One stood out to me though at least.

 

[DPrezd Beggar]

I would ve rolled up a whole orchestra of violins, trumpets n shit and maybe some opera in the BG but with a darker twist. But absolutely no clue how to make something where ppl go like "yooo thats Goodfellas vibes there" thats why i went for the OST but daaaamn son... my hype got killed by that OST.

Still props to anyone who entered. I apparently am to dumb for this shit.

 

[44Beatzz]

There is no "Goodfells" type beat. There are too many interpretations.
