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 "From 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
