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 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
RIP Bushwick Bill....a true legend in Hip Hop!!!
Facts
R I.H. Bushwick bill
R.I.P G
not only in hiphop….
Sorry... little people
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
Yep ,..... Lockwood,Calvacade,.Lyons ave,... Collingsworth,.... Crane,... Hirsh rd etc.,.... yea dig WARD Squad
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
stop lying!!!
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.
"Whitey always tell em oh he speak so well" -Nas
Now he's just a legend. R.I.P.
I feel that all these OG' S need to come back and shut this crazy shit down!!!
John Oulds Or put some real, solid youngsters on.
John Oulds they been bringing it many if them but whos supporting ?
Glenn Robertson both
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
Agreed
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
No one praises the man for what he should be known for. His wisdom and intelligence. Dude was always kicking knowledge on his interviews.
You can tell he made his son laugh all the time and he looked up to his father.
Bill is very articulate and knowledgeable about the rap culture!!!
💯💯
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.
more knowledge about hip-hip than older artist TOO
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.
@@Alex-dn5hi your tripping cause a majority of the people like scarface and bushwick the most
@Lee Biggs nope
@@h2bfz098 you got one part right..scarface gets the majority vote.
I miss this brother. He embodied hip hop. He was a walking history class.
Mad respect to Bushwick Bill!
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 .. 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 😎
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!!
Yes he was being rushed and the guy kept interrupting bill.
@@anthonypeters44 YES!!!! Ridiculous.
Like he won’t listening to nothing Bill was saying. Terrible interview skills!
@@leroyricks2776 AGREED.
Damn,Bushwick a real smart deep and humble dude mayne,str8 LEGEND💯👍👍
Bushwick has always been a intellectual.
Hell yeah.
Absolutely

Willie D and his Damn yellin lmao
Omg I was so weak
YEAH THAT SHIT WAS FUNNY BUSHWICK BILL A REAL MF. AND THAT IMITATION WAS😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He has such a great voice. Both musically and when he’s just speaking. Iconic!
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.
Reminds me of eazy e cause they’re the same height 😂
He wrote a book rescently
@@afrolatina7626 eazy e did? Damn
Bushwick was a great rapper
@@afrolatina7626 Whats the name of it?
Bushwick Bill.
Thank you for the timeless & classic tunes. " This year Halloween fell on a weekend" legendary line.
Rest In Peace
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!
Drug's is what happened
Stop that old head mentality... You sound ignorant.
@@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 ✌💙

Came here pay my respects rest up king rest in paradise
Bushwick Bill is well spoken, enlightened and intelligent.
This don't sound like somebody ready to leave earth. It just don't. He was ready to live.
Vanessa Riley sad how life can be taken away so abruptly from someone that has abundant life left to live. R.i.p bushwick rap godfather
Dwarfs use to get treated like sub humans a few hundred years ago, normalization is never ok
@@JB0010 What are you talking about?
@@garionbush5906 Been watching too much news. I don't even know bro
@@JB0010 🤯
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
Bill look like he built a Beautiful life
Hands down legend been listening to bushwick since late 80s that song ever so clear to be honest never heard probably never will hear anything like that again dead set legend bro
💯💯💯me too
Next Door To Bob Marley Nuff Said. Excellent video Bushwick Bill all the way from Bmore Md. True legend💪🏾
Good interview. A smart wise man
A real living legend hands down
"It was about flawssin skill not who can kill" that's a bar.
Bushwick Bill!!! My man!!! Much love ✊🏾✊🏾
I always felt Bushwick was a super intelligent man this confirms it, rip man.
Bill are a real brother I had a blessing meeting him in Griffin,Ga the brother dapped me up and what he didn't know I have all his solos
I dont care if anybody wrote for Bushwick bill, he is still legend
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 yeah I heard! One of the hardest rap groups of all time
@@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.
Willie D wrote it. Bill got no royalties
@@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
So many gems dropped!
Probably the best interview I’ve seen this year
James Howard he's Great subject
Agreed
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.
@@candlercando im guessing you think you would have done a better job...lol
Jason Murphee speaking of job, when Geto Boys did Mind Playing Tricks, that was a great job...
RIP Bushwick. A real hip hop legend.
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
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...
RIP Ready Red. He had so much love for Bushwick and it's great to see that love was mutually reciprocated.
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.
Actually, my grandma who's in her 90s said that rapping started in Mississippi when she was a kid.
Living Pharoah uhh in
GETTO BOYS LEGENDS I GREW UP ON THEM......
Respect to Bill and his beautiful family.
Travis Garrison respect
Definitely a legend! ! Grew up on Geto Boys.
So have I
Yes
I love how the interviewer lets him tell HIStory without interruption. Bushwick paints the picture 4 you. #legend #Getoboys
Real OG he speaks very proper and educated.
Mind Playing Tricks On Me was, is and will be one of the greatest track ever on my play list. Forever classic for sure. RIP Bushwick.
I grow up on ghetto boys and always like his voice and verses was raw man,salute from Croatia
I want to visit Croatia
Is your country safe for afro Americans
Good shit bro
Offcourse man
@@smily426 what's the Visa policy for Americans?
Bushwick has some serious groundwork!💪🏽✊🏽💙
This is more like a history lesson more so than an interview! I love my generation! Pay attention folks! R.I.P. Bushwick!
So Iconic... we love you Bushwick ...this was a amazing interview 😍😍💖💖
Not saying he's the best rapper but he's solid .... definitely underrated..
He IS the best
Low-key shade.
Damn I miss the good ole days of REAL RAP MUSIC. Geto Boys for life 😎
One of the realest, a real hip hop head! Rest in Paradise Bushwick Bill!!!
I agree dude is very intelligent. God bless and RIP...❤
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 ...
Wow Bushwick! Underrated brother. Rest in Power and Peace 🙏🏿
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!🖕🏾🤣🤣
I never heard it before either
Bushwick Dont Age at all
He looks the Same 30 years ago.
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.❤️
Wow. I never knew the multifaceted talent of Mr. BUSHWICK BILL! SUCH AN INSPIRATION
This is an incredible interview with Bushwick Bill. R.I.P.
Yooooo .. This dude is mind blowing and it's foul on Me to look at His interviews after He passed .. Shame on Me ....
I totally feel ya brother
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.
legendary stories by a legend
Great horror rap.
yooooooo I died lmao 16:06 how willie d wanted him to rap his verse on "mind playing tricks" HILARIOUS
If Bushwick Bill would have his own podcast that would be tremendous. The man has knowledge, wisdom and is overall well spoken.
Too little, too late. 😔💔
Thanks 4 this interview. I always wanted 2 gear Bushwick perspective.
A real hip hop legend . Underrated legend. Much respect bro.
He was a cool cool cat. Met him once and shook his hand. So laid back and cool. The world will miss him
Oh shit finally a interview with content
this man can speak very well
Most of Jamaicans do. The media will have you believe otherwise.
@@luvbig41 Don't get beside yourself. 😏
I have a confession to make a 5 year old me use to be TERRIFIED of this man. Im talk SCARED TO THE POINT OF TEARS. I was a kid ya know and I listened to his words (my uncles played his music...Little Big Man cd to be particular) and they played the Minds Playing Tricks On Me song and video alot and the shit scared the fuck out of me man lol and there is this one song on the LBM cd called "Childs Play" its a song that pays homage to Chuckie and that shit sure didnt help but as I got older I wasnt scared of the nigga anymore and I actually listened to his music and thats when I discovered I had nothing to be afraid of at all. Dude was smart, intelligent and wise. He was rare. I also realized how his lyrics was actually unique. The Childs Play song is one of the most underrated unique songs ever made. Although disturbing its out of this world and I have yet to hear a record like that to this day and I play it EVERY Halloween. I grew to be a fan and often wrote comments on Bushwicks IG page letting him know that I love his music and that I actually appreciate him (he did "liked" the comment but didnt respond but that was good enough for me :) I been having We Cant Be Stopped, LBM and Phantom of the Rapra in my collection for years now and I am glad I actually paid attention to him while he was here. RIP Bushwick Bill..there never will be another like you! 👼
PS Fuck A War is my muthafucking shit ALWAYS
Bushwick bill played a major role in geto boys and rap a lot records success
Bushwick bill is full of wisdom and he is highly articulate and learned.
Never Judge a book by it's cover.
R.I.P Bushwick Bill.
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...🙏💯
Willie D wanted me to yell lmao
I remember when he played on Martin
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😆
Raw&Real facts 💯😂😂😂 he said we too short for all the long conversations 😂😂😂
Anyone remember him on the show...MARTIN?
Didn't he bust out with some nunchucks???
"Hell no, Tommy. That's how he knocked yo ass out last time."
