We Can't Be Stopped


















Damn, the gauntlet has been thrown down. When I started to think about the best album covers, this was the 1st to come to mind. Annie Leibovitz doesn't take photos this good in her dreams.

For the uninitiated (you really should know this but whatever) this picture was taken after Bushwick Bill's girlfriend refused to shoot him so he did the logical thing which was to shoot himself in the eye. Even if he did this strictly for the album cover, it does not lessen my awe of the greatest dwarf MC of all time (Fuck that dead little white dude that was down with Kid Rock). And he's on the Zack Morris, early 90's cellie! While Scarface and Willie D are wheeling him down the hallway! Holding his cane! And you know he left AMA.

The two of us could surely write pages about Bushwick Bill, but that's not what this is about. We Can't Be Fucking Stopped! You think Marshall would ever have the balls to ask Kim to shoot him in his hot topic - dyed dome? You think 50 would ever shoot himself in the fucking eye?! No, because they don't understand art like the Houston trio. Who in their right mind would even dare to step in the way of the Geto Boys of 1991? As real as it gets.

  1. Impressive retort. Creative as well as pithy. Add in the laughter of the guy on my porch reading your blog and I'd say it was totally worth reading.
