Sound and even aesthetically emulated the Hollis, Queens pioneers by wearing the requisite black fedoras, black clothes and ostentatious gold chains. Group members replicated the Larry Smith-produced Run-D.M.C. The second incarnation of the group functioned under the freshly minted Geto Boys name. Though the lyrics and personalities of the group - Bushwick Bill, Scarface and Willie D - are part of the public's cultural stream of consciousness, their distinctive sound should also be more known on a technical level than it is. Many groups and individual artists, working in numerous genres not just limited to hip-hop, have perhaps unwittingly and often knowingly prospered as a direct result of the group's distinctive style and ouevre. Within the context of music history, The Geto Boys have achieved rarely earned nonpareil status. Their main thematic inspirations and references have included Brian DePalma's Scarface and the occasional horror-movie nemesis like Freddie Kruger, Friday the 13th's Jason or the less obviously stated Leatherface from Tobe Hooper's 1974 classic The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The founders of the hip-hop subgenre known as horrorcore created macabre street anthems linked inextricably to the horror movie-influenced, 'Helter Skelter'-style modus operandi of H-town's post-Scorsese version of Mean Streets. The Geto Boys are unequivocally one of the best and most famous musical groups to ever come out of Houston.
