grip it on that other level, we can't be stopped, till death do us part and resurrection. all classics :ohlawd:

I'm a Geto Boys fan, got all their albums, gonna give them a good relisten though before voting as I want it to be a clear vote, as I listen to them but some I haven't really thought about if they're classic or not. I listen to Till Death Us Do Part and The Foundation quite often, possibly those 2 the most out of their albums, currently anyway.

When Grip It dropped I don't remember any type of promotions, radio singles, or even a video out here in Cali, maybe once I saw Do It Like A GO on public access or something, but older cats around the way was playin that muthafukkin tape. I used to hear Gangsta Of Love and Let A Hoe Be A Hoe blastin outta cars.

The shyt they was talking about on that record, GOTDAMN, if ya mama caught you slippin it was over. Album was outta control.
Make sure you watch the hash tag brehs. We need your insight on these threads.

Can't Truss It got so much radio play.
That video too :wow:
I had the cassette single for Ain't No Future in Yo Fronting :blessed:
Never heard the album though. Was it any good?
Ed O.G. got a lot of radio play with Be A Father to Your Child as well :whoo:
I didn't hear Til Death Do Us Part until years later, but I had the cassette single for Crooked Officer :whew:
Resurrection was a first day cop for me. I still love that album. It doesn't get the props it deserves :mjcry:

Remember how much KMEL used to play Crooked Officer? Raynell had that shyt CRACKIN in the morning tellin, muthafukkaz to go pick up that new Get Boys!!!! shyt was a PSA, so was Ed Og's Be A Father. But DJ Quik and AMG wasnt helpin matters, all you heard was bytch Betta Have My Money jammin everywhere, 91 was wild..Was just talkin about this shyt in another thread.



My cousin copped that ENTIRE Breed tape just for Aint No Future. We never even peeped the entire tape for like the first week but when we finally ran it front to back that shyt was gabbage!!!!

We really couldnt comprehend how/why that could be the only good song on that tape. He paid FULL price for that shyt way back then.

Grip It! Is their only classic...

...but Geto Boys are a prime example of what I was talmbat when I said you can have a masterpiece and not a classic
and vice versa. They have 3 masterpieces imo, but only one universal acknowledge classic.

right yeah that makes sense

but we have to be careful with the word masterpiece as well. I actually don't know if Geto Boys have a masterpiece. Like that should be the work of the absolute highest quality e.g. Illmatic. Do they have something like that?

gave it to resurrection as their best album.

we can't be stopped lives in the shadow of its cover but voted yes anyway.

don't think grip it is that good.

they were better as solo acts.

Grip It! is classic on the same wave that Straight Outta Compton is....


We Can't Be Stopped is a 3 mic album that contains their signature song.


Till Death Do Us Part is a motherfukkin' classic.

3 mic? Damn that's harsh.

But as I said, it has their signature song and generally recognisable songs. But I still think the album holds up well as a whole...but I'm actually gonna change my vote to 'no' classic upon reflection.

I think maybe only 1 is suitable.
