Geto Boys "Straight Gangsterism"
Loading...
Uploaded by BVMUndergroundHipHop on Jul 7, 2008
Their name, Geto Boys, comes from a deliberate misspelling of the word Ghetto. For both their first album 5th Ward Chronicles: Making Trouble (1988) and their second album, Grip It! On That Other Level (1989), the spelling was "Ghetto Boys", according to standard English spelling rules. For their third album, The Geto Boys, they changed it to the "Geto" spelling, which they still use today.
According to an urban legend, the "Geto" spelling originated from a spray-painted street sign in North Houston (the sign has long since been replaced), along with graffiti written within the restroom walls at Willowridge High School in Missouri City, Texas during the late 1980s.

@alexandrelemelin You know what I mean it's some bullshit out there. Big L was nice one of the best. I'm a 70's baby so today shit horrible it speaks about nothing but b**ches, cars and money all three comes with the game so they don't have to talk about. I wanna hear some real life shit like Pac or some Hiphop shit like Method man.
I don't wanna hear no Rick Ross, Lil Wayne or that Drake crap or in those areas of MC's. That 's all that is at the top these days. I f**K wit Kurupt all day.
