Bushwick Bill
From a statement issued in May by
Bushwick Bill, a solo rap artist and a
member of the Geto Boys,
announcing a change in his stage
name.
My former name was Bushwick Motherfucking Bill. I had to upgrade it to show
some expansion and to show everybody who the biggest Geto Boy of all is. My
new name is Dr. Wolfgang Von Bushwickin the Barbarian Mother Funky Stay
High Dollar Billstir.
I call myself "Doctor" because doctors must be precise when they execute the job.
The "Wolfgang" is because, on the cool, I'm into classical music, and my
favorite artist is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. "Bushwickin" has to do with me
being a father now, and producing my own next of kin. So now I'm
reproductive both verbally and physically. "The Barbarian" is to show that I still
have the mind of a lunatic and that nothing's changed as far as me coming
hard-core rough and rugged. "Mother Funky Stay High" is a manifestation of
the aftermath of chronic-izm. "Dollar Bill" is because I'm currently currency in
the United States and abroad. Finally, "stir" is on the end because when I kick
shit I always manage to stir something up, whether it's the police, parents or pussy.
