was the only one who actually left the group. "Mind Playing Tricks on Me" became a hit in the hip-hop community.Īll three members began solo careers, but Willie D. On the album's title track, the group responded to being dropped by Geffen Records. The album cover had a picture of the injured Bushwick being carted through a hospital by Scarface and Willie D. A high-profile incident in which Bushwick Bill lost an eye in a shooting with his girlfriend helped boost sales of its third album, We Can't Be Stopped. In the early part of the decade, several American politicians attacked gangsta emcees, including the Geto Boys (though most famously Ice T and the 2 Live Crew). The Geto Boys (released by Rick Rubin's Def American Recordings, later re-named American Recordings) is actually a compilation, consisting mainly of ten tracks taken from its 1989 album Grip It!

The Geto Boys broke new ground with their soulful southern sound (perhaps a precursor to the Dirty South style), which was produced by people like Johnny C, Doug King, and later N.O.

The Geto Boys earned notoriety for its transgressive lyrics which included gore, psychotic experiences, necrophilia, and misogyny. The group broke up shortly after and a new line-up was put together with the inclusion of Scarface and Willie D, both aspiring solo artists. The group released a critically acclaimed album titled Making Trouble that contained songs such as "Making Trouble", "Ghetto Boys Will Rock You", "Balls and My Word", "Assassins", and "Snitches". The original Ghetto Boys consisted of the following members: Prince Jonny C, Sire Jukebox DJ Reddy Red and Little Billy, the dancer who later came to be known as Bushwick Bill. Geto Boys (originally spelled Ghetto Boys) is a hip hop group from Houston, Texas, consisting of Scarface, Willie D and Bushwick Bill. Also appeared on 1996 Geto Boys Album "The Resurrection".
