Geto Boys

[Vulpine]

I used to listen to Geto Boys when I was in school. But, since it was on tape at the time, when CD's came out they got put in a box and forgot.

Then, this weekend I stopped at the upstairs neighbors' place and she was going through some old stuff and pulled out the Geto Boys. For some laughs and DJ stuff, I suggests you guys dust it off and give them a listen again.

Let a Ho be a Ho:
"You don't treat a Ho like a queen, who behaves like a dog."
(Des? RT?)

Gangsta of Love:
"I've neva been played by a ho; If a b!tch is actin' stupid, she's gotta go."

"I got to educate you brothas: If a b!tch won't give up the play, fuq her. Move along to the next trick. See, I'm the typa a n!gga 'tell a ho, 'suck d!ck'. And if she ain't suckin', that's a waste of time, conversation, and my fuqin'. I just put my pants on, and tell the idiotic freak to take her tramp-azz home."

"B!tches look at me like a faker, knowin' gawddamn well Imma muthafukin' heart breaka. I have 'em cryin' for months; 'cuz I done fuqed they friends, and put a whippin' on they cvnts."

"I'm a mothafuqa. I put a b!tch through a test: If she don't pass, then she don't get blesssed. If the test consists... of fuqin' my whole crew, well b!tch gawddamn that's what you gotta do!"

"I treat a b!tch like a queen, but she has to realize I'm the gawddamn king!"

"Some jealous punk in town... told my girl I was fuqin' around - and she's STILL down! To do the same, you gotta have game."

:crackup:

Anyway, this chick had "100 Miles and Runnin'" on CD, and Black Sheep too. I was trippin' out.

Ha, hilarious. I actually got Bushwick Bill's autograph from the 90s, btw...hmm, I should eBay that.

Oh, and while I'm listening to "Just Don't Bite It" I hear this Dre knowledge and had to bust out laughing:

"...but back in school, she was a cutie. Yo - then after graduation started givin' up the booty. In school: stuck-up, hair in a featha. Every time I asked her for the time it was never-ever. ('What?') She would talk to Loren - not sayin' that I wanted a date, she wouldn't even be my friend. But now in the nineteen nineties, I be prayin' that the b!tch don't find me... 'cuz she got a gang of kids: nappy heads and all dirty. And, she's gettin' pimped by a n!gga that's 30. I saw her hangin' in an alley braggin' to her friends how she's ho'n in the Valley... all by herself. Goin' on the ho stroll. Comin' back home late night with the bankroll. You know a b!tch like that makes me sick... but I heard that she sucks a good d!ck!"

:crackup:

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

The old school version of this is "Treat the Queens like hoarz and the hoarz like Queens."

It's interesting to go back in time and listen to songs and look at records from when the mainstream wasn't so feminized into fear. Old school 80's metal comes to mind in being unashmed of stepping on anyone's feet from a sexual standpoint. A rock star could be a rock star and sexuality was just part of the package. Take it back a bit further and really listen to the Rolling Stones "Beast of Burden" lyrics. You'll only hear this kind of message with the gender reversed now, maybe K.D. Lang or Sarah McLauchlan would come up with "Beast of Burden" now.

^ I loved rap when it was real back then. Not the brainiest stuff, but still real. That shyt died with Pac & Biggie. Now, all you got is this laffy-taffy crossover TRL crap. :cuss:

 

[TyTe`EyEs]

Scarface is good, the other two are garbage.

 

[Vulpine]

I remember listening to that stuff back then and thinking: "OMG! That's not the way you treat women! These guys are mysogenistic! I'd never behave like that!"

Then, after several years of "less than DJ" success, I started to see things differently. Now, I wish that I had taken that kind of sh!t as the gospel when I had the opportunity instead of playing catch-up.

What happened to stuff like N-2-Deep, Too Short, AMG, heck, even Domino??!?
I mean, I was actually listening to 50 Cent the other day and actually thought: "Wow, for a 'tough-guy', he's actually pretty chumpish towards the ladies."

I'm going to listen again and see if I can find what it was that made me ill.

But, yeah, the music is way different now. I remember rap music taking a lot of heat for being "mysogenistic" and "promoting violence against women". I suppose the whole industry just got puzzy-whipped into submission after a while. It's too bad: that old stuff is pretty funny.

 

[Nighthawk]

60's punk is a great source of macho, listen-girly-you-do-what-you're-told-godammit lyrics. Like the Rolling Stone's 'Under My Thumb' and countless other contemporaneous beat combos macho stance, it was partly because the music was rhythm and blues - black - music. Whitey de-sexed it, added 'sensitivity' and now we have Coldplay.

More women than men read heavy metal mag Kerrang! because it is one of the last scenes where men are allowed to be unashamedly masculine.

 

[Holland]

Just look at all the emo crap that comes out. It makes me puke.

This music (geto boys) is great compared to that ****.
Motley crue is great in abusing women sexually too and some songs reflect some nice points as well.

For instance:
-Hell on high heels
-She goes down
-Girls, Girls, Girls

Let a Ho be a Ho:
"You don't treat a Ho like a queen, who behaves like a dog."
(Des? RT?)

Whaddaya want? I've never listened to that band. I listened to crap like Poison Clan and NWA when I was younger.

 

[Vulpine]

I thought it was funny that the "sh!tting on the carpet" sig of yours and RT's "Ho's Vs. Queens" remarks were hybridized in one rap line.

There are many mentions of "women acting like dogs" and "ho's vs. queens" in Geto Boys' stuff... I kinda wondered if you guys weren't "biting their rhymes".

 

[Holland]

I put the ***** in its place,And right
before i nut, i pull it out, then to the face,And tell the
***** to keep suckinAnd prepare herself for her first but
****in.

Those lyrics are pretty damn sick
