Geto Boys: Mind Playing Tricks On Me (Colored Vinyl) Vinyl 7"

The Geto Boys got their shit together on this one. Hooked up the untouchable sample, dropped lyrics that didn't involve slicing a bitch stomach into smithereens, and made one of the greatest songs about being fucked in the head. "I sit alone in my four-cornered room starin' at candles." Ever notice the true chorus is purely instrumental? Genius! This was released right after Bushwick shot himself in the eye in a failed suicide attempt (note: this 7" edit does not include Bushwick Bill's verse! Side B features an edit of "Mind Of A Lunatic").
