I bumped into Bushwick at a Walmart in Atascosita years ago. His daughter was a baby then and he stopped to talk for a bit. I was with my son who was about 12 at the time and he couldn’t believe we just talked to this guy ( he loves the geto boys). I grew up in 5th ward and saw Bill and the other members of Geto Boys all the time at the local McDonalds when I was his age. Bushwick was Totally down to earth, we talked music, religion, kids, and life. Wise Man
i worked at a beer store in dallas and he was there with menace clan....he asked "where the L at kuz" me being a dog just ignored him not know it was bill....hahhaa
Jerome Bailey Right? I'm white so I wasn't even trying to say that shit because it's for real not my place. I'm a big golden age hip hop fan though. "Whitey always tell em oh he speak so well" -Nas
careful what you wish for...did you see willy d's new shit?some wack ass trap garbage with some bullshit-ass "future" 20 words a minute flow...a fuckin embarrassment
I had forgotten that Bushwick was such an intellectual with diverse talents. He is by definition a true renaissance man. It is nice to see a rapper not feel the need to play dumb for clout. This interview really made me feel good. 👍🏾
Damn …… Just with in the first 6 minutes of the interview, Bushwick Bill kicked more knowledge about hip-hop than most new artist today could if given 6 hours.
As an old Dead Head who just discovered Geto Boys last week, and grew up with the Rappers from Queens, it just shows you it’s more than words. His Knowledge, artistic ability, and accomplishments are next level.❤️
NO SHADE but HE IS A LEGEND HE NEEDS TIME TO TELL HIS HISTORY!! IT FELT AS IF THE INTERVIEWER WAS RUSHING HIM!! OMG...IT WAS GETTING ON MY NERVES!!! YEAH!! RIGHT!! NICE!! OKAY!! WOW!! YEAH!! YEAH!! YEAH!! REALLY!!
Damn .. This dude is actually Brooklyn ... He carried Bushwick as His name ... Brooklyn hold this W ...and then hold this L cause we lost Him .. RIP Bushwick
Yea he is old school Bushwick which was crazy back in his day. When I first heard Ghetto Boys thought they were all from the South then why is this dude called Bushwick?... oh sh*t he's from NY 😎
Hip hop was filled with intelligent & articulate brothas & sistas in tha era & bushwick was one of them! Don't know what the hell happened to this generation!
@@joshnippleton3449 I'm 42 and I remember NWA in the 1980s and the way rap sounded between then and now. The level of articulation has definitely gone down. There are exceptions, of course. This is across the board, though. The country's articulation level has gone down.
Look people, It's gonna keep changing regardless of what we think.. Maybe the culture will totally collapse into itself and become what it was before, you never know. So I think it's best to keep our heads up and stop whining about what it's like now. Alot of people have gone through a childhood where their parents never understood their interests and we're now in a time where nobody gives any less of a fuck then parents do. I might become like you when I grow old and have kids and I might not understand their interests/music taste but I'll try to at least be optimistic about the future. Peace and Love ✌💙

Much love, respect & blessings to Bushwick Bill & his family. He'll always be a BIG man in my memory. He's was a smarter, wiser and better man than he gets credit for...
This sht was too funny! Mind playin tricks was the first real rap record to make me fall in love with rap. rip bushwick. What a great cat. This is the first interview i ever watched of him. Thank yall for sharing
This man needs to write a book. He deff has a ear for music, reminds me of Eazy E in a way. Wasn't the best rapper or writer but knew what they wanted and went for it. Respect.
Ran into Bill at an underground thrash metal show in LA. Unbelievably cool guy, I was surprised to see him at such a random type of show, but he was all about it. We hung out for a solid 20 minutes, discussing all types of stuff and just shooting the shit, talked about how hip hop and metal/punk both talk about issues that are happening in real life. Gained a ton of respect for him that day, a wise man
I love this dude! OG OOOG, I like that “Between heaven and earth and ain’t touch dirt!” Yea yea it may be old to some y’all but I’ve never heard it!🖕🏾🤣🤣
Much Love and respect to Bushwick forever a true smart human ahead of time itself! Praying for u to beat this Cancer if not see u in the next life brother...🙏💯
Been a Geto Boys fan since day one! All their group albums & solo projects are dope! I still keep that "Ressurection" album on heavy rotation. I've been telling ppl for years that Hip Hop originated in Jamaica as opposed to the Bronx. Great interview & knowledge Bushwick!
I mean Reggae and Dancehall are pretty much the same as Rap and Hip-Hop. I tell people all the time Rap and Hip-Hop was originally from Jamaica but became known and brought to life in New York.
Yep. I am 52 and Jamaican. Chatting has been going on in Jamaica for as long as I can remember. BIG sound ( the huge speakers) have been going on for just as long.
Great subject but the interviewer is not good. He spent so much time talking about Mind Playing Tricks when Bill had so much more than that, the Geto Boys were already big before that. Bill mentioned Mind of a Lunatic and it went right over this guys head and because of this, a lot was left on the table.
This guy is a huge part of my life. If only he could've ever known how his struggle and his heart has influenced my life. The thug. The ghetto. The dirt. The raw. The real. The rough. The music. Love you, Bill. You'll never know, homy. 👊 ~Davo ...
I was just watching that Bro! Classic mane ha-ha! He was 2 cool on there And the way he slide in aww man homie my mind playin tricks on me While apologizing 2 Tommy😎 And remember what he asked Martin about Gina Since everything's fine and dandy and all is it ok can I have a piece of your candy😆
Bill wrote most of his shit but that song was originally Face song but J wanted all them on it so Face gave Will and Bill each a verse that he already wrote
@@blackmask494 Not True Willie D wrote his own verse on the song mind playing tricks and scarface wrote the rest of the song and Bushwick Bill Rapped Face last verse.
@@degreesandchucktsshow3692 No he did not you Idiot it was originally Scarface song but J.Prince said that it should be a Geto Boys song so Willie D wrote his verse and his verse only, and Bushwick Rapped Scarface Last Verse that Scarface wrote so Learn your History
The rumors I heard about Bushwick Bill was that he was a fool, but like others watching hell nawl this man was intelligent. Sad he died too soon and the break up was terrible,I know we all wished for a reunion and they all were still living. RIP BB Imma new fan of a once intelligent man and a good entertainer.
I go with everyone else's comments, Bushwick Bill will forever be in the hearts and mind of hip hop music, I love the way he did expound on how it came to be through the DJ battling so he understands very well! And I wish him and his family continued success and blessings.... Halloween fell on a weekend me and the geto Boys a trick or treat in classic...
...after all these years, this is the first time I've heard Bushwick Bill speak, and I am so ashamed to say that I was surprised at his sheer eloquence. Continue to RIP, Sir.
I used to think he was crazy and weird but the brother is actually very intelligent and well spoken
@Keeping It Real His lyrics didn't help lol.
Bill was a little weird. Very smart also. Most people that are smart are also eccentric.
Robery Salley I mean getting drunk An high off coke An jumping off cliffs an out of moving cars just might over shadow some things lol
Robery Salley also pulled a Gun on Willie D during a argument 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️😂
Robery Salley Lil MF had skills no doubt An is a legend, but his antics kinda overshadow how good he really was that’s the sad part 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️

I met Bush at a Krogers off of S. Braeswood. He was with 2 yella bones right after The Otha Damn Level of the Game. We spoke and I have him ups.
Has he got one eye
He's very well spoken.. Shout out to Bill the living legend
Yup always was well spoken. Always enjoyed this voice.
Yea Bill.. Always spit real facts💯
Why wouldn't/shouldn't he be well spoken? That's not a compliment. When white people are well spoken, do we need to announce it?
Jerome Bailey Right? I'm white so I wasn't even trying to say that shit because it's for real not my place.
I'm a big golden age hip hop fan though.

Agreed
No one praises the man for what he should be known for. His wisdom and intelligence. Dude was always kicking knowledge on his interviews.
His son looks just like him..
Just glancing at it I thought man Bushwick hasn't aged.
@squad mafia gang You do know sons don't automatically look so similar to their fathers like Bushwick's son do don't you?
Yes his twin
Yes didn't know til I seen him
Too much
You can tell he made his son laugh all the time and he looked up to his father.
I miss this brother. He embodied hip hop. He was a walking history class.
bushwick is a Houston legend. even if he's not from the H. He's done so much for Houston's hip hop culture. big up bill
He from Brooklyn tho
If he was edited out of every single geto boyz track, he wouldn't be missed.
