Uses in media[edit]

The song 'Still' was used in the 1999 Mike Judge film Office Space during the scene when Peter, Samir and Michael destroy a printer in the middle of a field with a baseball bat. 'Still' was produced by N.O. Joe. A parody of the scene (using a censored version of 'Still') was made by Brian and Stewie on the Family Guy episode 'I Dream of Jesus', in which they destroy a record of the song 'Surfin' Bird' by The Trashmen. The uncensored version of the song is available on the Family Guy volume 7 DVD. Another parody of the scene was used for Spike TV's commercial of their coverage of the Consumer Electronics Convention in Las Vegas, shown in December 2011 and starring iJustine.[3] In Silicon Valley (TV series), Mike Judge again sampled from this album by using the song 'First Light of the Day' in the closing credits of the fourth episode of the show's sixth season.

The Resurrection has received positive reviews, with some reviewers calling the album the best album the Geto Boys have ever made. In a positive review, AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote 'The Resurrection outstrips every other Geto Boys record in every sense -- it is the leanest, meanest, and funkiest thing they've ever recorded.'[1] James Bernard of Entertainment Weekly gave the album a B+, writing 'What makes this their best work is the album's festive mood, despite its harsh subject matter.'[5]

In 2005, the comedian Chris Rock ranked The Resurrection 15th on his list of the Top-25 Hip-Hop Albums ever.[9]

The Geto Boys (originally spelled Ghetto Boys) were an American hip hop group originally formed in Houston, Texas. The group was formed in 1987.[1] The Geto Boys enjoyed success in the 1990s with the group's classic lineup consisting of Bushwick Bill, Scarface and Willie D, earning several certified albums and hit singles, including 'Mind Playing Tricks on Me' which reached No. 1 on the Hot Rap Songs and #23 on the Billboard Hot 100.[2]

The Geto Boys earned notoriety for lyrics covering controversial topics such as misogyny, gore, psychotic experiences, and necrophilia. About.com ranked the Geto Boys No. 10 on its list of the 25 Best Rap Groups of All-Time, describing them as 'southern rap pioneers who paved the way for future southern hip-hop acts.'[3]

History[edit]

The original Ghetto Boys consisted first of Raheem, The Sire Jukebox and Sir Rap-A-Lot. When Raheem and Sir Rap-A-Lot left, the group added DJ Ready Red, Prince Johnny C, and Little Billy, the dancer who later came to be known as Bushwick Bill. The first single the group released was 'Car Freak' in 1986, which then followed with two LPs 'You Ain't Nothin'/I Run This' in 1987 and 'Be Down' in 1988. In 1988, the group released its debut album, Making Trouble. With the release receiving very little attention, the group broke up shortly thereafter and a new line-up was put together in which Bushwick Bill was joined by Scarface and Willie D, both aspiring solo artists. This new line-up recorded the 1989 album, Grip It! On That Other Level. The group's 1990 self-titled album, The Geto Boys, caused Def American Recordings, the label to which the group was signed at the time, to switch distributors from Geffen Records to Warner Bros. Records (with marketing for the album done by Warner Bros. sister label Giant Records) because of controversy over the lyrics.

In the early 1990s, several American politicians attacked rap artists associated with the subgenre gangsta rap, including the Geto Boys. A high-profile incident in which Bushwick Bill lost an eye in a shooting helped boost sales of the group's 1991 album We Can't Be Stopped. The album cover features a graphic picture of the injured Bushwick being carted through a hospital by Scarface and Willie D. On the album's title track, the group responded to Geffen Records ending its distribution deal with Def American. The album featured the single 'Mind Playing Tricks on Me,' which became a hit and charted at No. 23 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Rapper Scarface

After Willie D left the group, Scarface and Bushwick Bill continued with the Geto Boys with the addition of Big Mike, who made his debut appearance with the group on 1993's album Till Death Do Us Part.[4]Till Death Do Us Part was certified gold. The album spawned one top 40 hit in 'Six Feet Deep' which peaked at #40 on the Billboard Hot 100. Subsequently, Big Mike was dropped and Willie D returned for 1996's critically acclaimed The Resurrection, and the 1998 followup Da Good Da Bad & Da Ugly, of which Bushwick Bill was not a part. After three years on hiatus, the group reunited in 2002 to record its seventh album, The Foundation, which was released on January 25, 2005. The Geto Boys were featured on Scarface's My Homies Part 2 album.

The song 'Street Life' from Till Death Do Us Part was featured on the motion picture South Central. A video clip for the song with footage from the film was released.[5] Although the band rarely releases albums or perform together, the group came together for a reunion at Cypress Hill's SmokeOut festival in San Bernardino, California on October 23, 2009.[6] In 2010, Bushwick Bill was threatened with deportation to Jamaica.[7] In a 2015 DJ Vlad interview, Scarface stated that he will not be involved in another Geto Boys album.[8]

On August 24, 2018, founding member DJ Ready Red died at the age of 53, from an apparent heart attack.[9]

Following the stage 4 pancreatic cancer diagnosis of Bushwick Bill, a farewell tour, titled The Beginning of a Long Goodbye, The Final Farewell was announced, with a portion of the proceeds being donated to pancreatic cancer awareness.[10] But this tour was cancelled at the last minute. On June 9, 2019, Bushwick Bill died at the age of 52 of pancreatic cancer.

Lyrics and influence[edit]

The group's name, Geto Boys, comes from a deliberate misspelling of the word 'ghetto'. For its first two albums, Making Trouble (1988) and Grip It! On That Other Level (1989), the spelling was the English standard 'Ghetto Boys'. For their third album, The Geto Boys, they changed it to the 'Geto' spelling, which the group has used since. The Geto Boys' lyrics push gangsta rap themes to extremes, and sometimes focus on murder, explicit sex, and violence. The group is credited for putting Southern hip hop on the hip hop music map and inspired a legion of acts, including 2Pac, Eminem, UGK, T.I., Goodie Mob, Outkast, 50 Cent, Chamillionaire, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Young Jeezy, Juvenile, Mystikal, Mac Lethal, Esham[11] and Insane Clown Posse.[12] Insane Clown Posse's Violent J (Joseph Bruce) described the Geto Boys as the first rappers to perform horrorcore, with their song 'Assassins', released on their debut album, Making Trouble.[11][13] Bruce says that the Geto Boys continued to pioneer the style with their second release Grip It! On That Other Level, with songs such as 'Mind of a Lunatic' and 'Trigga-Happy Nigga'.[11]

The Geto Boys' popularity was boosted somewhat in 1999 by the prominent use of two songs—'Damn It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta' (released as a promotional single for the 1992 compilation album Uncut Dope)[14] and 'Still' (from The Resurrection)—in Mike Judge's comedy satire film Office Space. The song 'Mind of a Lunatic' has been covered by many recording acts including Marilyn Manson in 2003, as a B-side off the album The Golden Age of Grotesque. The single 'Damn It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta' has also been covered by the band Aqueduct and country singer Carter Falco.[15] Their song 'Mind Playing Tricks on Me' was featured in the video gameGrand Theft Auto V and also in the Netflix series Maniac.

The Geto Boys are also heavily influenced by the social politics of the day. Their lyrics have consistently included themes ranging from police brutality (such as in 'Crooked Officer') to concerns over the negative impact of violence on the urban community (such as 'The World Is a Ghetto', 'Geto Fantasy', and 'Six Feet Deep').[citation needed]
