Bushwick Bill is a gangsta’ rapper who became famous in the group The Geto Boys (originally spelled Ghetto Boys). He may be short in stature, but he is a giant in what he has been able to accomplish and overcome. A pioneer of gangsta and horror core rap, Bill has spewed some of rap’s most controversial, violent, and offensive lyrics. He has gone toe to toe with the US government fighting against music censorship; he has been demonized by the media and the politicians. Unwavering and tough as nails. Bushwick Bill always tells it like it is, and he usually has the last word.
2013 BUSHWICK BILL – GETO BOY TEASER
For the past 3 years, we have been filming and documenting the life of the infamous Richard Shaw, AKA Bushwick Bill, original member of the Geto Boys and all around fascinating presence and one of the most unique entertainers ever. Our desire to do a documentary on Bill has been one that stretches over a decade long. It finally became a reality a few years ago when we were able to track Bill down in Austin, Texas. A bit of a rolling stone, Bill may jump from town to town, but one thing is certain, no matter where he lands, people always recognize him. He is undoubtably a hardcore rap legend. He has the stories to back it up. He has rapped lyrics that command it. And he literally has the scars to prove it.
