Good.......2007-05-12
Of course you have to get this CD if you are a Scarface/Geto Boys fan like I am. It's pretty good.
Awesome...hardcore, startling rap music (4.5/5).......2006-12-10
The Geto Boys 1991 album "We Can't Be Stopped" is a great listen. It is one of the albums that pioneered both gangsta rap and southern rap. They were the first rap act to gain national attention from Texas, and the Houston trio of Scarface, Willie D, and Bushwick Bill also helped gangsta rap reach the mainstream. However, this album is often forgotten today, eclipsed by albums from their contemporaries like NWA. I think this album shows the Geto Boys at their controversial best. Later on in their careers the group would embrace a different sound, but this album is simple, in your face, angry hip hop. Over fourteen tracks, the Geto Boys challenge mainstream America, dealing with such topics as war, poverty, and ghetto hostilities. They create stunningly violent and crazy depictions of ghetto life and paranoia, and the way in which they voice their problems and concerns was never duplicated. All three MCs have distinctive and compelling characters. Scarface is a lyrical master, one of the greatest rappers of all time, a voice of the ghetto who has lived through everything. Willie D is a wild, angry man who often sounds crazy. Bushwick Bill is one mad midget, who is not afraid to lash out at government and power and is behind all of the group's horrorcore. Production is very simple, utilizing rough and raw drumbeats and bass and sparse instrumentals and sampling to create a focused musical sound. It has a gritty, underground feel. One of hip hop's finest songs, the legendary "Mind Playin' Tricks on Me," makes this album worth the purchase alone. This album is simply entertaining from start to finish. "We Can't Be Stopped" is a compelling, fun listen that I recommend to all rap fans.
After the introductory "Rebel Rap Family," the album begins with "We Can't Be Stopped," a song of which the title explains it all. Scarface, Willie, and Bushwick spit threatening and boastful lyrics depicting their personas and characters. "Homie Don't Play That" is great, just fun and entertaining gangsta rap. "Another N.... in the Morgue" tells of murder and crime in the city, more of the greatness Geto Boys executed that countless rappers would attempt to imitate over the years. "Chuckie" is one of the most effective songs, a disturbing story of a serial killing maniac in the ghettos of Houston. The crazy effect is enhanced by the laidback tone that the MCs use in their raps. The previously mentioned "Mind Playin' Tricks on Me" is one of the most amazing songs you'll ever hear. Musically it is perfect, using a thoughtful, gorgeous sample from an Isaac Hayes song to make it totally their own. It perfectly matches their tales of ghetto paranoia, a terrified mindset brought on from years of living in poverty and violence. The song is effective and beautiful and will never get old. Bushwick Bill rips "I'm Not a Gentleman," where he talks about the way he treats women and goes about his business over a great beat. On "Gotta Let Your Nuts Hang," the boys rap in the second person perspective about dealings and criminology. "F... a War" is one of my favorites on the album. After a great intro, the Geto Boys condemn the Gulf War and urban youths joining the military, with a great rallying cry ("I ain't goin' to war for no s...-talkin' president!"). "Ain't With Being Broke" has an excellent funky beat and chorus, speaking simply of the downsides of being poor. "Quickie" is a song of conversations to women, talking about how they don't want any long term relationships, just quick pleasure. "The Other Level" follows in the same vein as "Quickie." "Trophy" is another of my favorites, ending the album on an excellent note. The song talks about how the best rap acts aren't recognized with Grammys and awards, only respect in the hood, and the Geto Boys demand a trophy, it's funny and angry like always.
Overall, "We Can't Be Stopped" is an awesome rap album, in my mind among the Geto Boys' very finest. It's amazingly consistent and always entertaining. Geto Boys are a rap group that every hip hop fan should know and this album is a great starting point. This album is one I highly recommend to every rap fan, it's one of the pioneering old-school works that is by now a standard, regardless of how overlooked it is today.
Office Space.......2006-11-14
Odd one of the best old school rap soundtracks is in a movie with a bunch of white guys and a middle eastern guy. I dont think i can ever hear Die Mother F&$(ers without thinking of that copy machine destroying scene. Some white boys still know what good rap music is.
Answer.......2006-03-13
Its "Hung Up On My Baby" by Issac Hayes. and yea its for "My Mind Playin Tricks".
True Hardcore S**T.......2006-02-10
If you want good, angry, hard old school hip-hop, then The Geto boys should be right up your alley. Like other reviewers said, these guys are for real, and they probely laugh at guys like 50 and D-12. They have such an edge, that even though some of it is a bit sloppy at times, it is 100% from the heart, and its a great listen for hip-hop heads. If you see a midgets eye hanging out on the cover, that would be Bushwicks Bill eye that got a bullet in it from his girlfriend. When they were in the ER, they thought they should take a picture of it hanging out, and put it on their album cover. NEEDless to say, some record retailers banned the LP, and this even fueled the Geto Boys hate even stronger. This is one hard CD and not to be missed.

A typical rap album, which is mostly bad, occasionally good..........2007-07-02
There are 3 genres of music I really hate with a passion, and that is punk, rap, and indie rock. Rap generally consists of a pontificating, sanctimonious black man (and occasinoally a white one) talkin' about how rap is music from the streets. At first, it was. Rap came out of Compton/South Central L.A. in the 80's in protest of the poverty and crime there. But then it turned into music in which we hear how big rappers' c**ks are, how much money they got, how many ho's they got, how much they can swear, and how nobody better mess with them. Rarely do I hear rap get truly political. The Geto Boys epitomize rap here. They have several examples of songs that I talked about. They have the song where they swear a lot and tell people not to mess with them (F**k 'em, with lyrics by an uncredited Oliver Stone, who wrote the screenplay for Scarface, and who The Geto Boys use quite liberally throughout the song), they have the song about how many ho's they have (Gangster of Love, which samples Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd), a song where they fantasise about killing (Mind of a Lunatic), and one real political song (City Under Seige). Now, sometimes when you hear rap stuff at first, it gives an awesome visceral kick, and this album does that. Gangster of Love is reminiscent of 2 Live Crew, except much more brutally funny (or misogynistic, depending on your gender or outlook on life). But the visceral kick rapidly fades, and you're left with a boring, pointless, beat heavy, profanity contest that really has little or no art in it. The Geto Boys played the "censorship" card really well (acting like their music was being censored because of the man and the "politics" of the man), where in all likelihood it was kept off the radio because of the barrage of profanity and generally in your face attitude of The Geto Boys. So, it's funny and visceral the first time, but the high doesn't last. The album never resonates beyond the first few listens, like most rap albums I've had.
Deadly as an A bomb.......2006-12-13
I had almost forgotten that I had this record, but one recent day, feeling particularly incensed, I remembered it and dug it out. Singing along to f#@* `em, I found myself already feeling much better. The last time I played that track so loud was many years ago when I threw in the towel and walked out of a job, and this time round it had the same highly therapeutic effect. By the time Assassins came on, I had abandoned the idea of becoming one, as my rage had abated, having been absorbed by this first class record, which is as incredible today as when it was first released in 1995. It has some of the catchiest gangsta rap tunes you will ever hear.
As other reviewers have noted, this record is the polar opposite of sweet and the lyrics are seething with anger, nastiness and good 'ol fashioned sexism, although they should not be taken entirely seriously. Still, if you are feeling homicidal, they hit the spot. It is the perfect antidote to a bad day.
Play it loud and feel your troubles and deadly thoughts melt away. Far cheaper than therapy, and beats a murder rap.
It Set The Standard.......2006-03-22
Nothing really compares. Okay, well maybe early NWA. Still, this album holds up some 16+ years later. Rick Rubin heard most of the tracks from their 1989 Rap-A-Lot debut "Grip It On That Other Level", had a not-so-known Brendan O'Brien (Pearl Jam, Rage Against The Machine) and Sylvia Massy (Tool) remix it, and the result was one of the best rap albums to this day. The controversy that followed resulted in Rubin being forced to have it distributed by parent company WEA (as Geffen refused to do so).
One of the greatest, vilest records ever made.......2006-03-15
The guitarist from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs put it like this: 'In times of indecision, I often think to myself "What would Bushwick Bill do?" Usually I do the opposite because the midget rapper from this crew has been shot in the face and I haven't. Yet.'
That about sums it up. In Dublin in the 1980s, if you were a middle-class suburban teenager (and I'm afraid that in those days it pretty much went without saying that you were a white M.-C. S.T.), you either liked U2 or you didn't. If like me you didn't, then outside of your brother's vintage heavy metal collection there were few signs of life; a lot of rubbish pop music, some big-hair poodle-rock bands, and not a lot else. But then a cousin lent me this album, and at last I saw the light.
The Geto Boys were and for all I know still are not necessarily anyone you'd want to hang out for an evening with, if only because of the risk of gunfire or your girlfriend putting your eye out, but good god could they make a noise. I used to put this on my walkman and play it to people at my school to make them go away. 'Triggy Happy Nigga' is the one I played to death, but 'Gangsta of Love' is without doubt the funniest. One day, long in the future, my kids will play me something that they think is going to offend me, and I'll play them this back. And we'll be quits.
THE BEST RAP ALBUM OF ALL TIME!.......2006-03-09
NO CONTEST! The Geto Boys self-titled album is the greatest rap album I've ever heard. This album came out right around the time The 2 Live Crew were getting a bunch of hassles about the explicit language they were using. The Geto Boys pushed the envelope even further with this obscene, hilarious, and brutal album! They not only paved the way for other rap artists to express themselves more freely (more cussing) they busted a cap in censorship at the same time! The songs are unbelievable..."Gangster Of Love" had me in hysterics! "F*** 'Em" simply blew my mind! BUY THIS ALBUM AND PURCHASE A PIECE OF GANKSTA HISTORY!

Geto Boys - Greatest Hits .......2007-01-21
The Geto Boys "Greatest Hits" (2002) is an album I would recommend for any Rap collection. The Houston group was formed over two decades ago (1986) and today consists of Scarface (A.K.A. Brad Jordan), Willie D (A.K.A. Willie James Dennis) & Bushwick Bill (A.K.A. Richard Shaw). Three of the original members of the group moved on (DJ Ready Red, Jukebox and Prince Johnny C) very early in the groups career, while MC Big Mike served shortly as a temporary replacement when Willie D pursued a solo career. All three members of the group would pursue solo careers, with Scarface's being the most successful. They would split and reunite on two occasions, getting back together in 2005 for the "The Foundation". Track's on that release are not included on this release - noteable among those are the excellent "G Gode" and "Yes, Yes, Y'All". Collectively the trio delivered classic music which should not be slept on.
My favourite track's on this release are:
"Mind Playin' Trick's" - The Geto's Boys most successful single from the album "We Can't Be Stopped" (1991) - an outstanding story about the way one's thoughts get twisted when someones trying to kill them, praying to god and looking for an exit out of the game. The track samples Isaac Hayes "Hung Up On My Baby".
"Six Feet Deep" - Geto Boys created the ultimate R.I.P. track with this exceptional dedication to good friends who have died in the game. This track which was the lead single "Till Death Do Us Part" (1993) samples the Commodore's "Easy". Scarface, Big Mike & Bushwick Bill shine on this release while taking their audience through a funeral, reflecting on a good friends life, and the consequences of the choices we make.
"Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangsta" - Backed by some upbeat production the Geto Boys delivered another classic with this cut, full of outstanding lyrics. Scarface, Willie D & Bushwick Bill shine on this 1999 cut which was featured on "Office Space: The Motion Picture Soundtrack".
The Only Hardcore Gangster Rap Album You Well Ever Need.......2006-08-10
I have not a bad thing to say about this greatest hits package. Its one of the best I have herd, all the the classics are hear plus one bonus track(The Answer To Baby Mary 2). You got Mind Playin' Tricks, Crooked Officer, Scarface, and so many more i dont have the time to mention on one disk. This disk is a great iroduction to people that are not familler with the Geto Boys, and for the people who are, you have most of the great songs on one. It Also Comes With a DVD with all there music videos
Key Songs
-Mind Playin' Tricks
-Damn It Feels Good 2 Be A Gangsta
-Mind Of A Lunatic
good stuff.......2006-01-03
This is what real hip/hop is all about and it really can't get much better. Great compilation.
Where's Do It Like A G.O........2005-04-22
How you gonna have a greatest hits CD and you don't include their first hit that put the GETO BOYS on the map? That's straight retarded. However, the rest of the lp is dope and I loved they put "Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangster" on the joint as well as a lot of the songs with Big Mike in the group. Willie D, though is hardcore as they come, can't touch Big Mike's jockstrap when it comes to skills on a mic. If you're looking to get Geto Boys music without having to buy all the Lp's this is a perfect start.
Straight Gangstaism.......2004-03-15
What else can i say...Its the Geto boys finest. The whole cd is really hot. Mind Playin' tricks is by far the best song on the whole album, but their are some other killer songs such as, Six Feet Deep and Damn it feels good to be a gangster. Thier is a song on this cd called "Chuckie" that is straight up holorious. I recamend you try and get the Cd with the limited edition dvd because the have have some classic videos such as mind playin tricks and others. Kop dis

CLASSIC GETO BOYS. A MUST-HAVE; 4.5 STARS.......2004-08-14
SHORTLY BEFORE THIS ALBUM WAS RECORDED, WILLIE D LEFT THE GETO BOYS TO PURSUE A SOLO RAP CAREER. TO TAKE HIS PLACE, BIG MIKE WAS ADDED TO THE GROUP. THIS WAS A REAL GOOD ALBUM. IT'S NO ''WE CAN'T BE STOPPED'', BUT IT'S REAL GOOD. THE BEST TRACKS ARE ''STRAIGHT GANGSTAISM'', ''CEREAL KILLER'', ''SIX FEET DEEP'', ''IT AIN'T'', AND OF COURSE, THE 8 MINUTE-PLUS ''BRING IT ON'' WHICH FEATURES NUMEROUS RAP-A-LOT RAPPERS FROM THE EARLY 90S. SHORTLY AFTER THIS ALBUM, THE GETO BOYS ANNOUNCED THEIR BREAK-UP. BUT, THEY CAME BACK 3 YEARS LATER [WITH WILLIE D AGAIN] TO DO ''THE RESURRECTION'' AND THE GETO BOYS CAME BACK FOR A FINAL TIME IN 1998 WITHOUT BUSHWICK BILL TO DO ''DA GOOD, DA BAD, & DA UGLY''.
Still A Great Album.......2004-06-12
Even though this album is ten years old, it still is a great album.
If you love Scarface as a solo artist you'll love this album with his old group - the Geto Boys.
If you like Body Count's "Cop Killer" you have to listen to "Mr. Officer" on this album.
Also, has one of the saddest ghetto stories "Six Feet Deep" before Ghostface's.
Almost every song on the album is a winner.
One of their best.......2003-03-30
It's hard to pick the best song on the album cause their is a lot of good ones. It's not the same w/out Willie D but Big Mike fits in and is tight. His song Gangsterism is a classic. More than half the cd is so good I could listen to it a few times in a row, but the other part is getting skipped cuz it's either too violent (bushwicks solos are always f'd up) or just not hittin right. But there is more really good songs than almost any other album I own.
I love this cd still.......2002-12-29
exit willie d enter big mike along with scarface and bushwick bill these mugs from texas put out another banging classic crooked officer deals with police brutality, six feet deep talks about black on black violence, bushwick continues his chuckie tales on murder ave, other songs deal with drugs, sex, and murder in the hood my favorite is the last cut bring it on which features the whole rap a lot mob a must buy.
HOUSTON"S FINEST.......2002-06-09
This album by the Geto Boys solitifies the South in the rap game. Every track is tyte. Every lyric is tyte. Even Lil J's intro and outro are tyte. Big Mike stepped in for Willie D and the trio still didn't fall off. Bring It On is probably one of the tytest rap songs in history with 7 or 8 different artist just ripping the mic followed up by yours truly Mr. Scarface. That song along is just one reason to get this album and there are about 10 other songs that are worthy of the same praise, so this here work of art by the Geto Boys difinetly gets 5 mics from a boy straight out of Southwest Houston!

get this!.......2005-06-17
Forget NWA and all them other mainstream fools. This is REAL and they are REAL and do REAL s#it that a lot of them other people like snoop have nightmares about happening to him. Geto boys should have been known just as much or more than NWA and snoop. They originally started in 1986 with members Raheim, Jukebox, DJ Ready Red, and Sir Rap-A-Lot and used to feature little billy as a dancing dwarf who after a while joined the group and called himself bushwick bill. They broke up then in 1988 local rappers akshun who changed name to scarface and willie d joined bushwick and ready red and thats when s#it blew up and they got it together. This album is haaaard and tight all the way through start to finish. Theres timeless classics that will never be forgotten by a lot of people that know about the real s#it. The production is heavy and nicely mixed, but most of all, the flows rip through the tracks and just get your attention like they are supposed to. Bushwick, willy d and scarface were a triple threat not to be fu@ked with. Straight out of houston, texas they are all real and done more in the streets than what NWA had heard about. Bushwick bill is a dwarf and can knock out people twice his size. Hes a real gangsta and not one that just talks about it, mans been in enough s#it. I respect the geto boys and like and recommend all their work up to 96. So, if you want the REAL hardcore rap pick this up and put that other weak gangsta(party) s#it down. get this!! Later!
Comedy.......2004-07-30
This album is a sampling of geto boys at their most comedic. The hardcore raps focusing on brutal rape and murder are hilarious if you take them for what they are: parody. The samples of Al Pacino in Scarface are great. I'm glad it pisses off the more sensitive listeners. This album was never meant for you anyway.
HAS SOME GOOD SONGS........2003-12-16
This is some cool old school which deserves a place in your cd collection.The songs are pretty cool but the intros do get annoying sometimes.Give this cd a chance because it is much better than any hip hop today.
Damn it feels good to hear ol' school.......2001-11-18
Damn it feels good to hear the Geto Boys. These are original old school rappers who know how to paint a picture. Dark and haunting in some regards, this is the stuff rap should be made of. This is one of the better old school albums I own and the CD is worth the price and then some. From pure anger to telling the story of life on the wrong side, the Geto Boys usually get it right.
This is a fair sample of the Geto Boys' work.......2001-07-04
Most of the songs are from other Geto Boys albums, some are remakes, others are just copied and pasted in. Bushwick Bill is the comic relief in what tend to be dark musical works. Scarface comes from the perspective of a paranoid manic depressive drug dealer. Willie D comes off as a part time hustler. This album has many of the classic tracks of old school hip hop.

Great Album But... No Willie D! Thats Y only 4 Mics!.......2006-09-19
This Album was bangin but I don't gives a F#$k what you say Big Mike Ain't No Willie D! I mean don't get me wrong The Peter Man got skills but I think Will got him in the lyrical department! Will just has that voice and feeling that what he says HE MEANS! I really think Bill stepped up the lyrics on this album also! Everyone always leaves out Bill & Will and talks about Face but The G.B. is not the same if it ain't Will, Face & Bill! The beats from Bido, N.O. Joe, Mike Dean and the rest of the Rap-A Lot posse were always ahead of their time with the hard beats and the hottest old school samples! I credit this record lable for making me research and find the original artists they sampled from and opening my young mind up to a whole other era of great music! Rap-A Lot Fo Life!
Love, Peace, Unity & Fun... Vendetta
Great album.......2003-03-18
Till Death Do Us Part is the best Geto Boys album out there. Their only sub par album would be Da Good Da Bad and Da Ugly. They lost their intensity in that album. But this one and the rest of theirs all deserve 5 stars. They r the group that made the south. They birthed one of the greatest rappers in the business - Scarface. They put South on the map and they deserve all respect possible. 5 stars - get money and get the album.

Bring back Bushwick and get rid of Willie-D............1999-06-05
Arrrrgggghhh! This was the worst Geto Boys offering I have heard to date! Obviously Scarface wasn't enough to save this "album". Why wasn't Bushwick in on this one? Most of the songs were performed by Willie-D and I'm sorry but Willie-D can't rap! There isn't one single song on this album that I would refer to anyone! This GB product deserves to be put in the trash. I'm a true Geto Boys fan and I say to other GB fans out there: DON'T BUY THIS ALBUM!!!!!!!!
Tight, but not the same without Bushwick.......1999-04-18
At first, I wasn't sure what to expect from a Geto Boys album without my boy Bushwick...and even though his presence is missed, the up and coming Rap-A-Lot thugs sure make up. Rap-A-Lot is on fire and I want y'all to support them by buying all the RAL albums you can, they all tight!! Hey Rap-A-Lot, bring back Bill!! Recognize the M.O.B.!

Forget NWA and all them other mainstream fools. This is REAL and they are REAL and do REAL s#it that a lot of them other people like snoop have nightmares about happening to him. Geto boys should have been known just as much or more than NWA and snoop. They originally started in 1986 with members Raheim, Jukebox, DJ Ready Red, and Sir Rap-A-Lot and used to feature little billy as a dancing dwarf who after a while joined the group and called himself bushwick bill. They broke up then in 1988 local rappers akshun who changed name to scarface and willie d joined bushwick and ready red and thats when s#it blew up and they got it together. This album is haaaard and tight all the way through start to finish. Theres timeless classics that will never be forgotten by a lot of people that know about the real s#it. The production is heavy and nicely mixed, but most of all, the flows rip through the tracks and just get your attention like they are supposed to. Bushwick, willy d and scarface were a triple threat not to be fu@ked with. Straight out of houston, texas they are all real and done more in the streets than what NWA had heard about. Bushwick bill is a dwarf and can knock out people twice his size. Hes a real gangsta and not one that just talks about it, mans been in enough s#it. I respect the geto boys and like and recommend all their work up to 96. So, if you want the REAL hardcore rap pick this up and put that other weak gangsta(party) s#it down. get this!! Later!
Please!!!!!! Daniel J. Dominguez "SFNORTE.......2005-04-22
This record is classic!!! You may have been in the house back in the day when this dropped. Every true thug, gangsta,pimp,and trick loves this Geto Boys release. This is the debut to the streets. Don't be dumb, if your hip,cool or a player. You know you need this in the ride for the throwback after the the club. Dude your funny rating this with two star. Are you a Nerd??!!
to daniel.......2005-03-20
this is the original version, grip it on the other level was released in '89. the geto boys self-titled album is the re-released version that was released in '90 because it was so classic in rhyming skills. to be honest, this version is much better because the other version doesn't include the original songs like the gangsta of love version and it also doesn't include search and destroy and no sell out. glad to help you.
WHAT VERSION IS THE ORIGINAL?.......2005-03-17
I THOUGHT THE SELF TITLED ALBUM "THE GETO BOYS" WAS THE ORIGINAL VERSION. IT SOUNDS MUCH BETTER. THE RAPS ON THIS ALBUM SEEM LIKE THEY HAVE NO LIFE. IF YOU HAVE A CHOICE PICK UP "THE GETO BOYS" TITLE INSTEAD. TRUST ME YOU WON'T BE DISSAPOINTED.

The Geto Boys never lost a step!.......2006-12-01
After about 15 years after coming out, The Geto Boys are back with their newest album. Actually the last album Scarface, Willie D and Bushwick Bill did together was in 1996 (The album that came after that was great, but Bill wasn't on it...), and yet on "The Foudation" it's evident that the GBs never lost a step as they released yet another unforhettable classic record. Like any album Rap A Lot releases, this album is so different than anything that goes around the industry. No dumb-a## crunk songs, no simple-beat songs. It's just music, at the highest level possible. And yes, it's gangsta rap to the fullest, The GBs are still as raw as it gets. Yes, it's hard-core gangsta rap, but sometimes people fail to realise that Face, Will and Bushwick are three VERY intelligent individuals. You just have to read their interviews or just plain listen to their lyrics to find out. There's a lot of depth, and a lot of though in everything they say. And another thing that separates the Geto Boys from most rap groups these days is that they've got a lot to say, and that they rap about a wide range of topics. You get the hard-core gangsta tracks (and they still are MUCH better than 99% of the albums that come out these days), the laid-back personal tracks, and also a track or two that are almost club bangers (if they weren't so hard of course). Yes, The Geto Boys have a lot on their minds, and unlike anyone else, they are not afraid to rap about it. They talk about a lot of REAL personal experiences (including rough and sad personal experiences), they talk about geto life and life in general, they talk about wanna-be-gangstas (yes, they mean the rap industry, although they don't mention any names). They talk about the police, about snitches, about clubbing, about bi***es, about God, about strugling to survive... And each has a unique and frest style of his own. Scarface with his gangster street oriented lyrics, Willie D with his in-your-face attitude and Bushwick Bill's wild and unforgiving lyrics complementing his unaurthodoxic flow and Jamaican accent. Those three are your thinking man's gangsta rappers, and they deserve to be in the Rap Hall of Fame (ever since 1991 actually...). The production on the album is flawless, and it's just perfect. The album is produced mostly by Tone Capone, Mike Dean, Cory Mo. And to my surprise, Scarface himself produced some of the best songs on the album! Is there a thing this guy can't do?? The sound on all tracks is rich, musical and it suits the rappers' flows and voices perfectly. As on almost each GB album, you get one solo track from each member, and everyone of those guys does a tremendous job as a solo artist as well. No guest features on this album, other than Z-Ro who drops by just to drop an unforgettable and catchy hook on "When It Get Gangsta". This album is a timeless classic, like a breath of fresh air in the so-fake and un-original rap industry these days. Geto Boys do their own thing like they always do. They actually ARE among the founders of gangsta rap and it's time that people recognise this!... If you want to hear some real rap music, ranging from hardcore to laid-back, by three incredible rappers, then "The Foundation" is the answer.
One of the highlight albums of 2005.......2006-09-22
Standout tracks: DECLARATION OF WAR, YES YES YALL, WE BOOGIE, WHEN IT GETS GANGSTA(gangsta rap classic), I TRIED, G CODE, WHAT, LEANIN ON YOU, and REAL N---A S--T. Filler: 1 2 the 3, nothin 2 show and Dirty bitch(eminem type of joint). Bottom line: Geto Boys came back with an album that made any wack album that came out in 2005 a distant memory. Surprisingly Bushwick Bill and Willie D bought their dopest rhymes to the table on this one and Scarface keeps getting better with time.
Foundation.......2006-01-24
The Geto Boys are back. This time maybe for the last time. The Foundation starts off with an intro with J. Prince. It is then followed by a good song Declaration of War. The single Yes Yes Ya'll is pretty bangin track. Other good songs include G Code, Real N----a S--t, and the best track Dirty B----h. This album was not as good as I expected with some tracks that I skip over. There are no real hardcore tracks except the last song, where Bushwick Bill disses his ex-girl. I still recommend you get this album for the good tracks on it.
One of the best come back albums I've ever seen.......2005-11-25
This was an outstanding come back by a group of undisputed legends. The Geto Boys are one of the best rap groups ever. This is straight street from start to finish. No club bangers, no pop, no radio friendly stuff. Just hardcore rawness through out. This is defintely one of the best rap albums of the year and it will be high on my top ten list
Geto Boys.......2005-10-26
These guys are here to stay but it is too bad that they do not get that much attention and this pisses me off because these guys are better then 99 percent of the rappers that are out now. Buy this cd to support The Geto Boys because they can rip apart G-Unit,Boyz N Da Hood, and whoever else is a group out there. BUY BUY BUY THIS CD

Geto Boys - Greatest Hits .......2007-01-21
The Geto Boys "Greatest Hits" (2002) is an album I would recommend for any Rap collection. The Houston group was formed over two decades ago (1986) and today consists of Scarface (A.K.A. Brad Jordan), Willie D (A.K.A. Willie James Dennis) & Bushwick Bill (A.K.A. Richard Shaw). Three of the original members of the group moved on (DJ Ready Red, Jukebox and Prince Johnny C) very early in the groups career, while MC Big Mike served shortly as a temporary replacement when Willie D pursued a solo career. All three members of the group would pursue solo careers, with Scarface's being the most successful. They would split and reunite on two occasions, getting back together in 2005 for the "The Foundation". Track's on that release are not included on this release - noteable among those are the excellent "G Gode" and "Yes, Yes, Y'All". Collectively the trio delivered classic music which should not be slept on.
My favourite track's on this release are:
"Mind Playin' Trick's" - The Geto's Boys most successful single from the album "We Can't Be Stopped" (1991) - an outstanding story about the way one's thoughts get twisted when someones trying to kill them, praying to god and looking for an exit out of the game. The track samples Isaac Hayes "Hung Up On My Baby".
"Six Feet Deep" - Geto Boys created the ultimate R.I.P. track with this exceptional dedication to good friends who have died in the game. This track which was the lead single "Till Death Do Us Part" (1993) samples the Commodore's "Easy". Scarface, Big Mike & Bushwick Bill shine on this release while taking their audience through a funeral, reflecting on a good friends life, and the consequences of the choices we make.
"Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangsta" - Backed by some upbeat production the Geto Boys delivered another classic with this cut, full of outstanding lyrics. Scarface, Willie D & Bushwick Bill shine on this 1999 cut which was featured on "Office Space: The Motion Picture Soundtrack".
The Only Hardcore Gangster Rap Album You Well Ever Need.......2006-08-10
I have not a bad thing to say about this greatest hits package. Its one of the best I have herd, all the the classics are hear plus one bonus track(The Answer To Baby Mary 2). You got Mind Playin' Tricks, Crooked Officer, Scarface, and so many more i dont have the time to mention on one disk. This disk is a great iroduction to people that are not familler with the Geto Boys, and for the people who are, you have most of the great songs on one. It Also Comes With a DVD with all there music videos
Key Songs
-Mind Playin' Tricks
-Damn It Feels Good 2 Be A Gangsta
-Mind Of A Lunatic
good stuff.......2006-01-03
This is what real hip/hop is all about and it really can't get much better. Great compilation.
Where's Do It Like A G.O........2005-04-22
How you gonna have a greatest hits CD and you don't include their first hit that put the GETO BOYS on the map? That's straight retarded. However, the rest of the lp is dope and I loved they put "Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangster" on the joint as well as a lot of the songs with Big Mike in the group. Willie D, though is hardcore as they come, can't touch Big Mike's jockstrap when it comes to skills on a mic. If you're looking to get Geto Boys music without having to buy all the Lp's this is a perfect start.
Straight Gangstaism.......2004-03-15
What else can i say...Its the Geto boys finest. The whole cd is really hot. Mind Playin' tricks is by far the best song on the whole album, but their are some other killer songs such as, Six Feet Deep and Damn it feels good to be a gangster. Thier is a song on this cd called "Chuckie" that is straight up holorious. I recamend you try and get the Cd with the limited edition dvd because the have have some classic videos such as mind playin tricks and others. Kop dis
