Originally released in 1991, this third\u00a0album from Geto Boys (formerly called Ghetto Boys) reached platinum status and is considered one of the best rap albums of all time by some very important people. This reissue comes remastered and on colored double vinyl, a great vehicle for showing how well their Houston-influenced hip-hop ways have aged.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRebel Rap City\u201d opens with dense drums and a quick spoken word that sets the pace for the album. \u201cWe Can\u2019t Be Stopped\u201d then brings finger snapping fun to the beat-filled climate that showcases the trio\u2019s inimitable rapping skills.<\/p>\n
Moving along, \u201cHomie Don\u2019t Play That\u201d recruits samples and plenty of funk ideas, while \u201cChuckie\u201d brings horrorcore ideas amid Bushwick Bill\u2019s inimitable rapping that adopts other personas. \u201cMind Playing On Tricks\u201d then recruits guitar and a horn sample for the darker-spirited delivery where Scarface takes the first couple of verses.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Deeper into the 14 tracks, \u201cAin\u2019t With Being Broke\u201d benefits from plenty of rawness in a more sparse setting that\u2019s got plenty of drums, and \u201cThe Other Level\u201d is even more tame, even haunting in its southern rap mood. \u201cTrophy\u201d exits with Willie D\u2019s pipes front and center across grooves and soulfulness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The band stuck around until 2019 in various formations, but then Bushwick Bill passed way from pancreatic cancer, and the Geto Boys legacy ended.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Geto Boys put southern hip-hop on the map and were largely known for their explicit lyrical themes that pushed the boundaries of gangsta rap. It\u2019s possible they even began the sub-genre \u201chorrorcore,\u201d and legends like Outkast, 2Pac, Eminem and Insane Clown Posse took inspiration from them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We Can\u2019t Be Stopped\u00a0<\/i>is the best-selling album from Geto Boys, and this version puts the classic record back in print and sounding better than ever.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":89,"featured_media":53469,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"artist":[7518],"rating":[5617],"class_list":["post-53415","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-geto-boys","rating-rating-b-plus"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/53415","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/89"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53415"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/53415\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":53468,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/53415\/revisions\/53468"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53469"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53415"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53415"},{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=53415"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=53415"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
