In terms of memorable album covers We Can’t Be Stopped is a memorable entry. The cover features a real-life photo of Bushwick Bill in the hospital, flanked by his bandmates Scarface and Willie D, as he recovered from emergency surgery after getting shot in the eye following an argument with his then-girlfriend. The provocative nature of the album cover modeled a lot of what made Geto Boys a formidable force in southern Hip Hop– whether it was a cut like “Chuckie” which paved the path towards hip hop horrorcore or the remarkable “Mind Playing Tricks On Me”, which lays out the traumatic anguish of the life of a gangster dealing with PTSD, paranoia, and suicidal ideation. We Can’t Be Stopped put the group firmly on the map and helped launch the solo career of Scarface later on in the decade.
