Edit: User Darkness727420 has pointed out to me that I have made it unclear how the point system works. Here is a link that explains it. Basically if you do the "Cone Crazy" exploit detailed below, you will definitely get the achievement along the way to beating it and getting 100% in game.
//www.gtavice.com/criminalratings/
This achievement has now been patched to unlock at a
100,000 criminal rating instead of 1,000,000. This rating is at the top of your stats screen.
For anyone thinking about boosting out accuracy or doing two playthroughs, I really don't think that's necessary, as long as you are comfortable with doing the "Cone Crazy" exploit. I used the video by Gtamen in the link below.
To clarify a couple things about the process and where I was in the game :
*I played the game normally going for 100%. I was at 62%, at the point where you can buy
properties, and decided to do this.
*My criminal rating was around 40,000, I had already done several side missions.
* The second my money maxed, the achievement popped, with my criminal rating being 118914.
*I also included a link that explains how to time your runs on "Cone Crazy" so that you don't screw yourself.
Edit: user mattdanky said he got the achievement by doing the "Brown Thunder" mission to level 162, by activating mission next to airport runway. "Brown Thunder" is the helicopter equivalent of pVigilante using the Hunter chopper that is unlocked when you get all 100 packages. It places the chopper in the Fort Baxter Airbase, north of the airport. It spawns somewhere else as well
after you have 100 packages AND finish the story. If you go to Fort Baxter, it helps to have the Cop uniform that you get from the mission
otherwise the soldiers will shoot
you.

*Edit comment from @PirateKing have to endorse the Brown Thunder method. I beat the game with a criminal rating just shy of 22000. It took me a few attempts but when I finally got it together the achievement popped on level 159. A few tips I picked up along the way: The first 12 Levels are the hardest as the spawns are more random around the map, so if you fail a few time early, don’t give up. In level 12 and beyond, most of the spawns will be along the main road by the ocean (if you start from the base). The random spawns elsewhere will often be somewhere that gets them killed immediately and the stranglers will often get killed by the tanks on the road once you’re at wanted level 6. Stay high until your line up with the target on the road and ready to make a bombing run. That way the only thing that can take you out are annoying helicopters. Unless you are sure the helicopter is going to miss you, get away and line up you attack somewhere else. Time will not be and issue, so take your time to make sure your in good shape before attempting to take out an enemy. Hope this helps someone get the achievement a little easier.
“Earn the Godfather criminal rating.”
— In-game description
Take the Cannoli is an achievement/trophy in the retired PlayStation 4 version and The Definitive Edition of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
Acquisition
To acquire this achievement, the player must get their criminal rating to the Godfather rating.
The easiest method for earning this achievement is to play the Vigilante mode using the Hunter that spawns at Fort Baxter Air Base. The mode has an unlimited number of levels that progressively earn the player more and more money with each level. After about an hour of persistent gameplay, the player should be around level 150 and earning nearly $1,000,000 per level. Checking the Stats menu will also show that the Criminal Rating is growing exponentially. Around level 200, the player should earn the achievement for reaching 100,000 Criminal Rating.
