RIP to the homie. We had good times on tour and back in the 90s.
Bill was a funny guy who had a lot of emotional trauma.
It's ever so clear, my mind playing tricks on me...

TMZ says he's still alive, this is awkward....
10:05 AM PT -- Bill's son says his father is "fighting for his life" and needs prayers and support. He also hinted at some friction between Bill and unnamed industry people. He said on IG, "Certain people have been so quick to write him off as dead so they can capitalize off it."
He stressed, "There is no Geto Boys without Bushwick Bill."
8:55 AM PT -- Bill's publicist tells TMZ he is "still alive and fighting cancer" in a hospital. She says she spoke to hospital staff to confirm, and says some of Bill's family members are by his hospital bedside right now. Others are on their way.
As for why so many of Bill's friends, including Scarface, are posting that he's passed -- the publicist says someone got incorrect information which is spreading like wildfire.
The rumors were likely stirred by Bill's absence from a Saturday night Dallas gig. He was scheduled to make a special performance, but was unable to make it because he was hospitalized.

I went through that with my mother.
Sometimes you just gotta pull the plug for the victim’s sake and end their suffering.
Respect
R.I.P.
Respect due, warrior. Life never let up on you, and still you never quit. Peace and blessings.
I'm guessing Alex has access to shit Bushwick didn't.
damn.... smh.... R.I.P.
Man he was a real one. Definitely a legend and one of the realest personalities in the game. If he still alive keep fighting. If not RIP. One of my favorite artist coming up. I always had a ton of respect for dude.
Can you niggas read he IS NOT dead
One of my craziest memories was of coming home from training and The Geto Boys were in the club. Chilling, This was before they blew so they were touring 'theh chitlin' circuit. Bushwick was drunk as fuck and Willie D and Face was chilling. They had mad bitches and was cool, chopping it up with everybody. For a min I thought Bushwick was in a costume or something but he wasn't. Dude was loud and funny as fuck. RIP Man, you did your thing bro.
