SF: GETO BOYS PLUS PHRANCHYZE AT YOSHI'S AT 10:30 PM TONIGHT
Geto Boys (originally spelled Ghetto Boys) will appear at YOSHI'S (1330 Fillmore Street, San Francisco, CA - 415-655-5600 - ) on Wednesday, June 19th at 10:30 pm. They are from Houston, Texas, consisting of Scarface, Willie D, and Bushwick Bill are the founders of Southern rap and is considered one of the greatest musical groups of all time. The Geto Boys' lyrics push reality rap themes to extremes. They are credited for having inspired a legion of acts, including 2Pac, The Notorious B.I.G., Eminem, UGK, T.I., Goodie Mobb, OutKast, 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, Z-Ro, Rick Ross, Young Jeezy, Juvenile, Mystikal, Esham and Insane Clown Posse. In the early 1990s, several American politicians attacked rap artists associated with the sub-genre gangsta rap, including the Geto Boys. A high-profile incident in which Bushwick Bill lost an eye in a shooting was indicative of the group's 1991 album, We Can't Be Stopped. The album cover features a picture of the injured Bushwick being carted through a hospital by Scarface and Willie D. The album featured the now classic single, "Mind Playing Tricks on Me", which became a big hit and charted at #23 on the Billboard Hot 100. After seven years on hiatus, the group reunited to record its seventh album, The Foundation, which was released on January 25, 2005. There is a $36 cover. 18 and over, please.
