Bushwick Bill was the most intelligent and gangstafied MC too ever heat the mic. He's your favorite rapper's influence. He raised generations of us fatherless, misguided boyz. Rest in power King Bill!

[@Bowie_knife_713]

Rip straight from Houston!!!

[@dickmccarthy9496]

@@Bowie_knife_713 man i still feel bad.. His music literally raised me. I was suicidal when i heard "Ever So Clear" first time and there's nothing in this world that has given me more power to continue struggling towards better tomorrow than Bushwick Bill's music and Geto Boys. Fell to my knees when i heard he passed away... Rest In *PEACE BUSHWICH BILL THE LEGEND*

Bill was so intelligent and charismatic as a man and person. His intellect was impeccable and way too comfortable in his own skin. I've always thought this from the gate. Was really hoping the butha would pull through. Bill we love you ALWAYS brutha. Love you!

Wow, such a humble dude. That last part was kinda deep too. Respect.

[@OliverCaesar]

I got to spend about an hour with Bushwick about 8 years ago, I think. I met him at the Continental club in Austin. I went up to him at the bar and thanked him for his art and what he had contributed to the world. He said, "Let me buy you a beer." I said, "No thank you I don't drink." Him: "You smoke weed?" Me: "Yes sir, I do." He said "Come on. We gonna smoke some weed." First he has me follow him out front where I guess he had his buddy waiting for him in a truck. Bushwick tells him to "put on that shit I just recorded." They had just recorded the day before and he puts it on and it's him rapping over a live band and it was fucking incredible. And he's standing right in front of me and he's rapping along with himself and it struck me at that moment how incredibly fortunate I was at that moment. After a couple of songs I follow him back through the club where he just asks some random guy if he's got any weed and the guy is agreeable and we go out back where the guy produces some excellent cannabis. We smoke it and hang out and talk for a while. He wasn't wearing his glass eye or sunglasses so, you know, I'm getting to see right inside his eye socket the whole time. Anyway, it was a great conversation and just a wonderful experience to meet him and get to hang out with him. I'm so blessed to have had the opportunity. As I was walking away he said "you got my phone number?" I said no. He said, "I guess that's your problem, huh?" Fucking LEGEND.

Whoa, that was my 1st time hearing about his death certificate part. A lot of people out here in Houston didn't even know that...and they still don't.

[@sublime88sublime]

Bushwick said in an interview that he thinks that since he smoked PCP before he died that is what kept his body preserved, since PCP is pretty much embalming fluid. pretty crazy

[@infectedvoice7293]

Tyrone Shoelaces, PCP is not embalming fluid, where did you hear that?.

[@omega-topic7109]

He's on an episode of ViceLand's Party Legends where he explains it when he lost his eye
