Geto Boys Prep New Album, Willie D. Moves Outside U.S.
« on: September 03, 2004, 02:39:55 PM »
Geto Boys member Willie D. said that a new, untitled album by the group was recently finished.

The new album features all three original group members and will be released before the end of the year.

"You know, I can’t let the cat out the bag, but the one thing I can say is that I’m very satisfied with it," Willie D. told AllHipHop.com. "The Geto Boys is essentially a business relationship. Aint no sense in getting out here and faking the s**t. One thing I cant stand it when mother f***ers get out here and say, 'Yeah, everything is beautiful and we ain’t gonna break up.' And they know that they have already split up. They lying to try and protect their image, their careers. They already might shoot videos with new members and s**t. It is what it is."

The Geto Boys started in 1989 and were one of the first groups from the South to find major success in Hip-Hop.

In addition to his business as a Geto Boy, the rapper recently moved to Baku, Azerbaijan, which is close to Baghdad in Iraq.

"Business opportunities made me move," Willie D. said. "I was messing with the real estate. The world is bigger than the United States and if there is an opportunity abroad, that’s where I am going."

While the opportunities for business were ripe, Willie D. said that doing business in the country was different than doing business in the United States.

"Things like making a phone call is a bitch," the rapper complained. "They charge you about $6 a minute and about $100 for two hours on the internet. The government takes all that money and squeezes out anybody that comes in. You can’t just come in there [and start a business]."

While it may be difficult to start a business in Azerbaijan, Willie D. did give some advice for aspiring business executives in the U.S.

"Our people need to find some real estate. Its way more stable than the music game. Cats keep taking all their street money and putting it in the rap game. Ninety-five percent of them are going to fail and lose all that they have. You gotta be a dumb mother f***er to fail in real estate. Real estate has a 91 percent success ratio."

Good news about the album.  I don't really know what to expect from it but that's a good thing.

CalebOhio: I think i can speak for many others when i say my favorite rap artists are white but i still want black artists to be dope. they are chosing not to be. that wouldn't be a likely believe held in a white supremacist group. I want Nas to deliver evertime but he doesn't every time Sage does. so Sage gets my $15 regardless or his status. fuck your status perception and labels you use.
