Damage Control Tribute To Bushwick Bill (RIP) June 12 2019 Full Show

It is with a heavy heart that we had to come together once again to celebrate the life of yet another fallen soldier in our Houston Rap community. Bushwick Bill passed on this past weekend after a bout with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He is one of Houston's most important legends of rap. And was an incredible human. The Geto Boys set off an incredible industry and culture in Houston and put the city on the hip hop map. Bushwick Bill was an integral player in this and remained true to his music and his faith until his last breath. This is the full three hour show. Unfortunately for some reason KPFT in Houston was not recording and archiving shows this particular week so we got the audio in 3 parts from Skyla Dawn's Instagram live file. Thank God for her for real. She really saved the day and this important document. Unfortunately, this being in three parts means we lost very minimal parts of the show, but in those parts some important words were being spoken. Most importantly when DJ Premier called in and explained how my brother Carlos Garza, aka DJ Styles of the Odd Squad, was an integral part of getting Gangstarr together and then it cuts a bit out where we are giving high praise to the legend ESG. This recording also starts about two minutes into the show so you miss a bit of my intro. Kool Keith calls in as well as OG Fatal from Austin, TX. Daddy O from Stetsasonic came down to the studio live and talked about Bushwick's place in the golden era of hip hop. Texas T comes down and talks about the first time Bushwick ever rapped into a mic. Yungstar talks about being young and first hearing the Geto Boys and even some other classic hip hop tracks. All praise due to the legend BUSHWICK BILL! Please drop a comment and show some love to the man and please please please share this show far and wide. We need you to help keep this mans legacy alive. I love you all. Thank you for listening. matt
