Rapper Bushwick Bill of the Geto Boys dies at 52 Associated Press Bushwick Bill, the dimin- utive, one-eyed rapper who with the Geto Boys helped put the South’s stamp on rap with hits like “Mind Playing Tricks On Me” and “Six Feet Deep,” died on Sunday at the age of 52, according to his publicist. Dawn P. told The Associ- ated Press that the rapper died Sunday at 9:35 p.m., local time, at a Colorado hospital. The publicist says the rapper, whose legal name is Rich- ard Shaw, was surrounded by family when he died. His Dallas-based business manager, Pete Marrero, said the rapper was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic can- cer in February. He had been planning to go on tour around the time he was hospitalized. In an interview with TMZ, Bushwick Bill said he wasn’t afraid of dying, ref- erencing one of his songs, “Ever So Clear,” from his 1992 solo album, where he talks about shooting himself in the head and losing an eye when he was high on drugs. “I died and came back already on June 19, 1991 so I know what it’s like on the other side,” he said. He said he was working on new music because, “I notice when most celebrities pass, they really don’t have nothing set up for their chil- dren and everything’s in dis- array so I figure, old music will sell but if I have new music for them ... at least they will have residual income from those things.” The Houston-based Geto Boys was a trio consisting of Bushwick Bill, Scarface and Willie D that launched in the late 1980s. Their gritty verses punctuated by tales of vio- lence, misogyny and hustling made them platinum sensa- tions and showed that rap had strength outside the strong- holds of New York, where it got its start, and later Los Angeles. Bushwick Bill was the group’s most explosive mem- ber, and played up his real- life chaos: The cover of the Geto Boys “We Can’t Be Stopped” features him on a gurney with a garish eye wound. Later, he would com- pare himself to the horror character Chucky, even writ- ing a song about it. On another of the group’s tracks, “Damn It Feels Good to be a Gangsta,” he rapped about being a smart gangster who was positioning him- self for success and longev- ity rather than a violent early death. The song was featured in Mike Judge’s 1999 work- place satire “Office Space.” The Jamaica-born rapper was widely reported to have died earlier Sunday after a bandmate wrote a post on Instagram suggesting so, but his publicist had said Sunday afternoon that those reports were premature.
