With the Ghetto/Geto Boys being the label owner’s vision from day one, it didn’t come as a surprise to hear him open and close the new album. Under the watchful eye of James Smith, the trio revisited some GB staples and introduced a few new nuances to the repertoire. Please downvote if incorrect! Self-deletes if score is 0.Despite well received solo albums and two members taking their leave, the Geto Boys kept going after the platinum success of “We Can’t Be Stopped.” Behind the scenes DJ Domination (today known as Domo) took longtime member DJ Ready Red’s spot, and up front Willie D was replaced by New Orleans transplant Big Mike, who was already familiar with the proceedings at Rap-A-Lot Records as one half of the Convicts.

A high-profile incident in which Bushwick Bill (actually a dwarf) lost an eye in a shooting incident with his girlfriend helped sales for their third album, We Can't Be Stopped, which showed Bushwick on the cover being carted through a hospital by Scarface and Willie D. In the early part of the decade, several American politicians attacked rappers, including the Geto Boys (though most famously Ice-T and 2 Live Crew). The Geto Boys (released by Rick Rubin's Def American Recordings, later re-named American Recordings) is actually a compilation, consisting mainly of ten tracks taken from their 1989 album Grip It! On That Other Level as well as two new songs and one song from their debut LP, Making Trouble. Their 1990 album, The Geto Boys, had to switch distributors from Geffen to Giant Records due to controversy over the graphic portrayal of rape, necrophilia, and murder in the song 'Mind of a Lunatic.' It was later released with alternate lyrics on iTunes and in their compilation CD, Uncut Dope. They are known for ultra-violent lyrical content and socially conscious messages. The Geto Boys (originally spelled 'Ghetto Boys') are a Gangsta Rap group from Houston, Texas, USA, active since 1986, consisting of Scarface, Willie D and Bushwick Bill.
