One of the most iconic and romantic songs of all time!

25 years in the making and still this album is a true classic

RIP Bushwick Bill man. Real yardie. Salute

"I treat a bitch like a queen, but she has to realize I'm the god damned king." Tight.

This song is so legendary it is impossible to comment on all of it.

This is one of the greatest samples I have ever heard!!! Gangster of Love!!!

I'm white...and still jammin' 25 years later!!!!! Kathleen Johnson!!!

The OGs of Gansta Rap still here in 2024 Geto Boys 4Life.!!

This is what makes the Geto Boys so great. Couldn't no one else pull a song off like this and make it a classic. I can always say Willie did not get there's no other rapper out here straight down to earth and straight to the point my him Geto Boys for life

i miss this album..... memories of childhood ballin

I bought this album on 125th street when it came out on those bootleg cassette tapes they used to sell before the industry shut them down. THIS was the version on the cassette. When I bought the CD years later they sampled Sweet Home Alabama instead because Steve Miller's people sued them or something. This version is MUCH better. (BTW I'm a white boy from Brooklyn. And Italian to boot. Ha!)

This never get old

dude this song gets me over a girl really fast

This is the real version.

RIP DJ Ready Redd... created the Geto boy sound

Still the bomb in 2021!

i first hear this on a cassette tape... yeah im old school

Willie D is the funniest rapper of all time

That guitar sample is sho nuff fonkay

Ride in peace Bushwick Bill. The best of the Geto Boys was You...

Every man should hear this

they will never make them like this again the best group ever rest in peace Bushwick Bill

GETTO BOYZ the best rap artists ever!! SPOKEN WORD They tell it like it is on so many levels every song is from the heart!

This version is so much better than the Sweet Home Alabama version. Brings me straight back to January 91 ridin around in G Mas car. I've never been played by a ho....

The best version!!!

Somebody should play this at the next feminist rally.

Still a banger in 2023.

I was 11 listening to this shit! I had 2 older brothers and sisters just jamming this everyday!!!

This is the version I remember growing up.

44 years old i,m still jamming

I love this song so much!

never. this is the original and ultimate version.

This is hip hop . Nothing beats 80s and 90s

Even though I already owned Grip It!, I waited a long time to buy this album on CD because I had to be sure it was the right version. The version that samples "Sweet Home Alabama" is crap when you're used to the original.

Such a romantic song.

This was my wedding song.

God I remember this song in 8th grade. My sex ed class was this album LOL.

dude, i remember this song from my yr 10formal (Aussie land) - Oh Cathy that ho was hot....first piece of....GOLD....1990.... these blokes were good.

These boyz was the shiiiiiit

Who's still listening in 2022?

27years later&still goin hard as!one of the oldest greatest classics!brings back memories of youth gone messed up lol

I walked down the aisle at my wedding to this song.

I love this version. I love the Steve Miller Band love.

I used to mix this song in with a lot of innocuous music and sneak it in the music at work -- which we played in the dining room.

Scratching my dilbag ooooweeee!!! Kathleen Johnson I'd like to thank you!!!

Wow I can't believe this is the original version!! I had my tape stolen back in the day and every cd or tape I have heard since has the other version. This brings me back, thanks!!!

i heard this song at 11 and it changed my life

I have lived my love life to these lyrics ....and never once had a woman problem!

Shit still tight!!

July 4th weekend 2022! Throwin this back to when I was 14 and blasting this in my buddies dodge Omni with 6x9s bolted to the roof. Heading down to Gibraltar to cool off bridge jumping. Drove by the other day to see it all crumbling and steel exposed. Damn those were the days!

Rest In Peace Bushwick Bill and Ready Red!

sooooooo dopeeeeeeee this was the hottest joint on the lp

this is my favorite version. this sounded so good in my truck with two 15inch subwoofers. booom

Love to hear the legends spit classics respect and love from Strong Island Ny

"It's gonna be a long day."

The mix on this one is so much better

AND PULLL DINE MY BRITCHES!!🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭

You gotta be from a certain era to know about this shit🔥🔥🔥 80sbaby💪

Greatest love song ever! 😬

The blue print for them real pimp songs

i used to bump this song in 88 when i was 8 yrs old. I love it

They should play this at the election

i bought this album many moons ago lol..........

I think this is the second version because Bushwick is on this one. I bought like 3 different versions of this song. This is arguably the best one. It's clean (production wise) and it has the original sample (that later got yanked). Great post brah!

Classic. cant believe its been so long ! Man i grew up on the other level with these boys ! Willie,face bill, lil J ,convicts,5th ward taught me lots back in the day! lol . Im a 34 yo white somewhat successful middle class that grew up on this, music was my life and inspiration. dont judge book by cover!!!!... G to the E to tha T to tha ***** O !

Pretty sure geto boys got sued for using that "call me the gangster of love" sample so they changed it to the "gangster boogie" sample. This is the original version, i can say it with 100% certainty..my friend bought this the day it came out, and this song was my favorite on the album for ages.

Bushwick Bill Wrecked It! Willie D Has The Country Voice!!!

My anthem...everyone in H town was rocking the geto boys..

I used to live by these lyrics when I was younger now that I'm older no woman wants to be treated like that,I guess that's why I'm lonley,dam getto boys i blame you for that,but that philosophy worked when I was younger now I'm older and no woman wants to be treated like that anymore,dam you getto boys

This is a combo of both versions; dreams do come true!

yep - the first hip hop album I ever got on cassette - in 1990 - big up! Recoil

Yup. Takes me back.

I'm a racist white guy. I've loved this song for 20 years. I still know it like poetry. I can still sing the lyrics. Black men have more power than they know. Throw off the chains baby. I feel sorry for black guys who listen to recent crap. NWA rocks too. I'm 48. Ponder that shit.

Man..! This is my ish ryte here W3rd.! I remember growing to this as kid buggn on how raw this was..! And still is to date!~peace & keep real hip hop alive

geto boys 1990. been awhile. shit still sounds good. "READ MY NIKE'S" brings bac the old days. damn i miss it.

Top 5 Ghetto Boyz track......and that's saying somethin with their catalog.

This version was on the early original Def American record release back in 1990 with the iconic Steve Miller's Band sample. Due to legal issues with that sample all later versions of this had the not so great "gangsta boogie - sweet home Alabama sample" version. It's true that an almost similar version of this song was introduced on the Grip It! album a year prior but this version is the highly improved " real version".

I was young as hell bumpin this shit. Didn't even know I was bumpin southern rappers cause Face and Willy D could fuck wit the best of em. Damn classic

Sony Walkman...old school over the head headphones....scratching my dillbag!!!! Nod that head.

The best times ever

ahh ... this was my theme song back in the day. sweet memories are made of this.

Geto Boyz only make classics

Kathleen Johnson made 176 profiles to dislike this video. RIP B.B.

My old school!

My lil bro was rockin this album and recorded over one of my tapes. I played it in my car and boom shakalaka shit got crazy 😂

@Stferdinanddhalifax I learned everything I needed to know my freshman year thanks to this song, god bless the ghetto boys

This just made me laugh when I heard this but it lost something when they printed later copies with out the Steve Miller sample.

D@mn homeboy.......I been looking 4this for awhile. This is the O.G. version. I had this the 1st week it came out and this was the version on the CD. Much props!!

hahahaha that last line always killed me "cuz I know I wore a fuckin glove - you know who yer fucking with bitch?!" hahahaha Willie D is a badman

Sorry mate,in Australia the first version was the first version. I bought (and still have) the vinyl in 91 before CDs were all the hype. The CD you got was the Rap-a-lot reprit after Steve millers label made them pull the sample. I also have it on CD in both Def American and Rap-a-lot versions. My rap-a-lot collection kicks ass..Gold RIAA records, Controvercy (without Willie D of the ghetto boys" original cover) and signed CDs from after the group split.

damn didn't think I would ever get to hear this again! good stuff

one of the best samples of all time

This song is tha shizznit ....a classic always

Been searching for a year for this version :) - I think I bought this cassette like 4 times.. this was this shiz when I was in school :)

still bumpin GANGSTA OF LOVE

love it.

🔥🔥🔥🔥

i base my life on their teachings...lol

There will never be another rap group like the bad bpyz from h-town. I just wish they were still doin they thang

Rip - dj ready red.
