That there is no way to make peace with this music is what gives the album its power. One cannot rationalize this stuff, but there’s no need to. The gruesome crew comes out swinging with their sickest material to date: the insanely angry “Fuck ‘Em,” the hilarious “Mind of a Lunatic” (which forms the musical basis for the next album’s “Mind Playing Tricks on Me” and contains the immortal couplet “Had sex with the corpse before I left her/And drew my name on the wall like Helter Skelter”) and Bushwick Bill’s personal statement of purpose, “Size Ain’t Shit” (“First of all I laugh/Then what?/Smack their ass like a goddamned car crash”). The Geto Boys (the article appearing for the first and only time) is the group’s definitive statement. “Do It Like a G.O.” makes its second appearance (the first was on Willie D’s first solo album) in a much-improved version, while “Gangster of Love,” (not listed on the album sleeve) is aired complete with the Steve Miller sample prudently excised from the band’s major-label bow.

Scarface is serious and mentally unhinged Bushwick is sociopathic in a corny way Willie D, studly and full of himself, suffers from the sort of diction problems that would sideline most wannabe rappers. Although Bushwick isn’t cited as a songwriter, the members’ identities are beginning to take shape. Akshun the rapper’s real name is Brad Jordan) and Willie D(ee Dennis) join Red and Bill (New York-raised Richard Shaw) to create the blueprint for the band’s nationwide major-label debut, where a bigger studio budget would allow for the kind of production values these guys deserve. Grip It! On That Other Level is a bit better. are on the job, engaging in plenty of the kind of hoarse shouting that would become their trademark. While Geto Boys’ other main players had yet to arrive on the scene, DJ Ready Red and Johnny C. Making Trouble‘s sleeve prominently pictures Bushwick Bill, but the psychotic midget who would become the Geto Boys’ greatest selling point is only featured talking on the album’s final track, “The Problem.” The rest of the record is essentially lame, as can be seen from the obvious Run-DMC image - gold chains and ugly sporting gear - and the rudimentary beats. Initially formed as the Ghetto Boys in the mid-’80s, the band began with only a hint of the overload they would ultimately unleash. Though they never achieve PE’s defined production or density of sound, Geto Boys’ records remain the equal of any well-done horror flick you’d care to name - full of gratuitous violence, unfeeling sex and endless exaggerations designed to split your sides in the way only the best non-family entertainment can. The Houston rap group presents a vision so brilliantly overdone that many will never fully accept that it is just as valid as the righteous rage proffered by such would-be prophets as Public Enemy or KRS-One. After suggesting that Little Billy join the group as a rapper, Willie D wrote: “Size Ain’t Shit.” It was recorded three days later by Little Billy, who did such a good job rapping his first-ever rap, that he was added to the group, and, Little Billy becomes Bushwick Bill.Anyone who comes to Geto Boys records for anything other than entertainment is barking up the wrong gallows pole. With the release receiving very little attention, the group broke up shortly thereafter and a new line-up was put together with DJ Ready Red, and the inclusion of Ackshen and Willie ‘D’ Dennis (born in Houston), both aspiring solo artists. The group released their premiere album in 1988 entitled, Making Trouble. The first single the group released was “Car Freak” in 1986, which then followed with two LPs “You Ain’t Nothin’/I Run This” in 1987, and “Be Down” in 1988.
