new geto boys album

what is the line-up for this album, btw? is it scarface-willie d-bushwick or is someone absent?

even if you haven't heard it, are you excited about there being a geto boys album in 2004?

“We were really feeling the pressure,” says Willie D. “Fans were really wanting a new album from us so I took the initiative to get at everybody one by one. I had to facilitate the whole thing because we hadn’t all been on the same page. I had been in touch with Brad for a minute and we both had been talking about doing a Geto Boys album. He told me that he was with it. Then I reached out to Bushwic and convince him to do it. Then I called Lil J and asked him if he was with it. He said yeah. Once everybody was with it we just got in the studio and knocked it out.”

I predict it will be a really solid below-radar kind of album that gets released in Houston every month. It will be pretty good as long as Scarface doesn't use that annoying ghostly female vocal sample he always uses. Check out Z-Ro "The Life Of Joseph W. McVey" or the Rap-A-Lot comp "Day After Hell Broke Loose" to get an idea of how it might sound, if it's as good as the Z-Ro cd it will be a straight classic.

unfortunately the song and video suck.

"Whatever happened to reading a good book?"

~ Bushwick in that article, on his disdain for modern party rap records.

(I like this a whole lot)

i like the griminess and sick humour overload of "we cant be stopped" and the self-titled one. are these qualities present on "the foundation"?

love willie d on i tried so much

Faster than a crackhead, can pawn yo' shit
Willie D'll put a foot in you bitch
I sold dope, robbed folks, had to make ends meet
Since 5th grade, I been up in these streets, tryin to get it
Raised by a single mother, two sisters two brothers
I used to think she didn't love us
Cause she beat us so much, plus she came home drunk
But every now and then she'd knock on wood, and say
I tried to do the best that I could - and I believe her
Cause she was treated evil out the box
You can't get what you ain't got
Momma I was young, hittin licks, started helpin you out
'Bout the closest that you came to a man of the house
I was talkin back, walkin through the do' gettin smacked
You used to brag to your friends on how well I rapped
We never really got along but when you took sick
I was at your side 'til you died
I wasn't the best son but I tried

scarface is getting a kidney transplant

At night I can’t sleep / I toss and turn / candlesticks on the dark / visions of bodies being burned
