Geto Boys - The Foundation & We Can't Be Stopped

Download - The Foundation

A lot of hip-hop these days is labelled as ‘gangsta rap’. Well this group is the very definition of that term.

The Geto Boys (Scarface, Willie D & Bushwick Bill) were so gangsta that their most violent and psychotic member was a midget. This midget was so gangsta that he made his full size girlfriend shoot him in the face during a failed suicide attempt. If that wasn’t crazy enough, they then used a photo of him on a gurney in the hospital, post-shooting, swollen faced and blind in one eye, as their next album cover.

I wish I was making this shit up.

p.s. The Foundation is a great album.
