Editorial Reviews

The Geto Boys are back! Bushwick Bill is back! Willie D is back! Scarface is back! Run tell them that!!! Believe it or not but the creators of southern rap are back and they are mad as hell. Why are they mad this time? It doesn't matter, just be thankful! If you are a true fan then you know that the Geto Boys are at their best when they are mad and it gets no better than The Foundation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Geto Boys- The Foundation, January 25, 2005

This review is from: Foundation (Audio CD)

The Geto Boys (Bushwick Bill, Scarface, Willie D) return with their latest offering "The Foundation" (2005). At fifteen tracks long (including intro/outro) this is a relatively short release. GB start the album off strong, getting grimy on "Declaration of War". This is followed up by the albums lead single the banging "Yes Yes Y'all" which all three members shining. Another standout has the Geto Boys lighting up "When It Gets Gangsta" with some thugged out lyrics. The Geto Boys take things to another level with the outstanding "I Tried", a sentimental track, which have the trio analyzing life, and the struggles they have gone through. My favorite track at the moment is "G Code", love the beat and lyrics to this cut. More reflection follows on the laidback "Leaning on You" a track which have the Geto Boys opening up, giving praise to god with the end result being another impressive track. More grimy tales follow on cuts like "Nothin' to Show" and "Real N**** S***". "In The End" The Geto Boys recommend the secret of winning is to find a way out of the game. Bushwick Bill does well on solo with "Dirty B****", telling a story of love and betrayal. I can honestly say I am really happy to see the Geto Boys back at it, "The Foundation" is a definite pickup for fans of the group.

4.0 out of 5 stars Real Rap, January 26, 2005

This an excellent album, a relief from the commercialized rap of today. The beats and lyrics are solid and even though Scarface outraps his fellow Geto Boys, they all come together to make the greatest release of this year so far.
