The Geto Boys earned notoriety for its transgressive lyrics which included gore, psychotic experiences, necrophilia and
misogyny. Despite the explicit content of their songs, critic Alex Henderson argues that the group "comes across as much more
heartfelt than the numerous gangsta rap...wannabes who jumped on the gangsta bandwagon in the early ’90s." The Geto Boys
broke new ground with their soulful southern sound (a precursor to the Dirty South style). « hide |
