So I let my mom listen to this and she got pissed off and told me to turn it off. I say to her "what did you say" pretending not to hear her while I turned it up even louder. Finally she goes over to my lap top and tried everything to turn off my lap top while the song kept on playing. She finally manages to turn it off and right when she gets up I press the power button and immediately the song plays. She picks up my $1450 lap top and throws it outside, smashing it everywhere. Lesson learned
I got the 12" on wax back in the day. But the weed we were smoking back then was so strong i cant remember what the original sample was. But im pretty sure it was Sweet Home Alabama. Anyway who cares its just a fukn dope old school track.
Pretty sure geto boys got sued for using that "call me the gangster of love" sample so they changed it to the "gangster boogie" sample. This is the original version, i can say it with 100% certainty..my friend bought this the day it came out, and this song was my favorite on the album for ages.
@playatimsta Actually no. This is the original. I know because I bought this single back in 1990. I was waiting for this album to come out. The original was this single. It used Steve Miller, The Joker in the background. Later on that album you see, came the same song, but with the beat to Sweet Home Alabama instead. I personally prefer this version though.
Well i was listening to this in 87-88 so your wrong and the sweet home alabama is the gangster boogie version that came later after steve miller sued them.
yeah this is the second version, the first one was on "grip it on the other level", this one had better production and inproved lyrics. in fact this whole cd was a remake of " grip it..." the version with the lynard skynard sample was the third one.
I think this is the second version because Bushwick is on this one. I bought like 3 different versions of this song. This is arguably the best one. It's clean (production wise) and it has the original sample (that later got yanked). Great post brah!
@kiddosthang I used to roll listening to it. I lost the tape in the 90's and when I went to replace it they had changed it because of the sampling issues. It was good to hear the original. It was, and is, the shit! ;)
wow definetly one of the filthiest = what happpened to this kinda rap now there all fightin to find out who kan rap the ost sensitif and no i kan spell right but i just spilled a beer on the keyboard and ost of y botto keys dont work
Actually, this is NOT the original version. The original version was on the album, "Grip It! On That Other Level". And on th original version, Bushwick BIll wasn't rappin' on it. It was only Scarface and Willie D. This IS however, the original beat... without that gay ass "G-g-g-g-g-Geto Boys" bullshit in the chorus. But this is NOT the original lyrical performance. They made like 5 different versions of this track. Why... I don't know. The original was dope. All the rest don't compare.
i was sonderin like where the hell this beat from. then it came to me this is the only country beat rap song i heard. lol. and they snapped with it. geto boyz classic.
Great melody, must admit it is a put down for women, not right. At the same time, reminds of highschool days. I guess, I was too young to realize what exactly they were reffering to. 20 years later, glad I could bring this up but yet disgusted by the way they percieve women are. Not cool.
@rmfrench1 I used think women should be respected all time and all that, but honestly, there is a lot guys out there who need to hear this song a few times. Lots of guys who get walked al over by their women. Not that I'm saying you need to put women down, but there are plenty of women who treat men badly, so what the hell. Its good for the confidence if you've been clowned by a woman.
@Stferdinanddhalifax this and "Let a ho be a ho" beyond the whole "Be a man" message, both are great songs. If there's anything like this coming out today, let me know, i think they were ahead of their time.
haha first time I heard this song. I love geto boyz, and I figured this would be a heartfelt song like 'i tried' or '6 feet deep'. This shit is hilarious.
I know, man! i know!!!! but i had a little confusion, because there is a version of this same song, with a sample of sweet home alabama. i know stve miller band!!!!!
finally someone posted the "original" version of this song.....the ruined this song with the reissue in the chorus with "Gansta Boogie, Gangsta Boogie"......
this is a slightly different version from the one i had. couple different lyrics and you can tell it's a different take by the way they're singing. anyway, still pretty true
I prefer the Skynard version....Only because I wore the Steve Miller version out ...Waitaminute....I like the the Miller Band version better....oh f%&k it, I love em both. Glad they made two versions....
I finally got to DL this version today with Bushwick also appearing over "The Joker". By far my favorite with the "Home Sweet Alabama" coming second and my least favorite being the original with only Face and Willie D over "The Joker".
the clue is in the picture above, its the album cover :P The Geto Boys by The Geto Boys, 1990. Still just as shit hot as it was 20yrs ago, nothing before or since can compare.
Fuck yeah, remember ridning out to this song EVERYWHERE, too bad kids today dont have great rap like this, sure it talks about some weird shit but we knew it was entertainment, long live the Geto Boys.
The original Grip It version works better but I like the guitar riff from Home Sweet Alabama more. The other day I watched Con Air on the TV and all of a sudden that song came on, I instantly recognized it thanks to this song!
This is the kind of shit every man should listen to, study, and practice! I am a straight up gangsta of love.....been a gangsta now for years.....and you can be a gangsta too!
@bmanthebiff Yeah Big homie, that maybe the tape I too had.... Mine got missing back in the day riding my boys around back then and all of a sudden never seen or found the tape again... DAMN! "Those were the days" LOL
actually, the very first version of this had this sample, but Bushwick was not featured on that one. I have to say I'm a fan of the original Scarface/Willie D version. Old School Rules. peace
For all those wondering, there are 3 differen versions of this song. The first was from their album 'Grip It' (1988), which is similar to this one (Steve Miller sample), but doesn't have Bushwick. Then, according to Wikipedia, there were multiple pressings of their self-titled 1990 album. The first batch had this version (with Bushwick), and the rest have the Skynard version. I'm not sure why they changed it, but if ANYONE knows where to d/l this version with Bushwick, plz post or email me.
@dicker410 this IS the original -- i bought the record when it came out in 1990, so i know.
later they had to remove the sample because it wasn't cleared and did another version with lynyrd skynyrd's "sweet home alabama" sample -- which was nowhere as good as this original version.
@mardenhill this is not the original.. LOL.. so you dont know.. this is the remix.. the original was way fucken better, and Midget didnt rap in it.. wake up brotha
@AngryAtTechnology75 the one you call the "original" was without bushwick bill, who used to be a dancer only at the time. so the 1990 version is the original full version, the 1989 version is more a demo. the others are a'ight, but this is the best one, cheers -- i'm fully awake, thanks for asking.
@AngryAtTechnology75 you're wrong fool... i bought this shit when i was in the 7th grade. Original release, same cover. this is the original. been listening to it for 21 years
@nowyouknow1 no your wrong,., this is the remix album.. the original came out about 1 year prior.. maybe earlier.. trust me , i know them, i became a fan when i met them and bought their records back in like 85..
go look it up,, this is the revamped album of the 1989 GRIP ON THAT OTHER LEVEL. which was the album AKSHEN joined in. now also known as Scarface. that album did not do well, so they revamped the songs, and remixed it.
@HOTROD213 hey, dickhead -- tough luck to be illiterate, huh? i wrote it's steve miller, but your retarded brain couldn't grasp that. just stfu and leave other people alone, thanks!
@mardenhill Actually, THIS is the original version, taken from their album "Grip It On That Other Level". <<<< This album came out before Rick Rubin stepped into the picture and re-recorded the song for the album in the photo above.
@starchildExcalibur it's without bushwick bill, who used to be a dancer only at the time. so the 1990 version is the original full version, the 1989 version sounds more like a demo.
@jpmiller999 damn straight, i was 16 when i first heard this, and after, well, i learnt good, word up to the GETO BOYZ... switcheroo.lol im on the other farkin' level of tha' game, peace
How many versions are there of this song? On one of them bushwick isn't even it. This one it's the same lyrics everybody saying a different verse and it's just drums. It's like that on a few other geto boys songs and albums.

actually, the very first version of this had this sample, but Bushwick was not featured on that one. I have to say I'm a fan of the original Scarface/Willie D version. Old School Rules. peace

For all those wondering, there are 3 differen versions of this song. The first was from their album 'Grip It' (1988), which is similar to this one (Steve Miller sample), but doesn't have Bushwick. Then, according to Wikipedia, there were multiple pressings of their self-titled 1990 album. The first batch had this version (with Bushwick), and the rest have the Skynard version. I'm not sure why they changed it, but if ANYONE knows where to d/l this version with Bushwick, plz post or email me.

@dicker410 this IS the original -- i bought the record when it came out in 1990, so i know.
later they had to remove the sample because it wasn't cleared and did another version with lynyrd skynyrd's "sweet home alabama" sample -- which was nowhere as good as this original version.

@dicker410 original beat but not original song check 89 grip it on that other level & you'd see bushwich didnt rap on the song.

@AngryAtTechnology75 the one you call the "original" was without bushwick bill, who used to be a dancer only at the time. so the 1990 version is the original full version, the 1989 version is more a demo. the others are a'ight, but this is the best one, cheers -- i'm fully awake, thanks for asking.

@nowyouknow1 no your wrong,., this is the remix album.. the original came out about 1 year prior.. maybe earlier.. trust me , i know them, i became a fan when i met them and bought their records back in like 85..
go look it up,, this is the revamped album of the 1989 GRIP ON THAT OTHER LEVEL. which was the album AKSHEN joined in. now also known as Scarface. that album did not do well, so they revamped the songs, and remixed it.

@mardenhill Actually, THIS is the original version, taken from their album "Grip It On That Other Level". <<<< This album came out before Rick Rubin stepped into the picture and re-recorded the song for the album in the photo above.
This is the best version:

@starchildExcalibur it's without bushwick bill, who used to be a dancer only at the time. so the 1990 version is the original full version, the 1989 version sounds more like a demo.

How many versions are there of this song? On one of them bushwick isn't even it. This one it's the same lyrics everybody saying a different verse and it's just drums. It's like that on a few other geto boys songs and albums.
