YMMV / Geto Boys

• Complete Monster: "Mind of a Lunatic" features two of these.
  • Bushwick Bill starts his part off shooting someone in the head, taking delight as the guy bleeds to death and draws his last breath. He later stalks a girl outside of her house, grabs her by the mouth as soon as she leaves, drugs her, drags her back into the house, and proceeds to rape her, threatening to kill her if she screams. He slits her throat anyway and continues to rape her corpse. Bushwick Bill ends his part wielding a shotgun and a few explosives, ready to face the cops.
  • Scarface is much more Ax-Crazy, fondly reminiscing about the people he's killed and mutilated. He kills his girlfriend and a nearby guy who said girlfriend's grandmother alerted. As he is about to kill the grandmother, the police arrive to stop him. Scarface proceeds to kill them with his guns, loaded up on angel dust at the same time. Surrounded by the police, he kills an innocent bystander and takes the rest of them as hostages, declaring that he will murder them unless the cops let him go.
• Harsher in Hindsight:
  • While thankfully not an example of Life Imitates Art, the lyrics to "I Just Wanna Die" hit a lot closer to home after the real-life death of Bushwick Bill.
  • Worse is that news hit first confirming Bill had died...only for his family confirming he was fine, but hospitalized. And then he died for real.
• Jerkass Woobie: The protagonist of "Mind Playin' Tricks On Me". He maybe a drug dealer and a killer, but he's not in a good place and he knows that if he kills himself then his son won't have anyone to support him.
• Nightmare Fuel: One of the largest proponents of this trope in hip-hop and rap as a whole. You'd be hard-pressed to find a song of theirs that isn't this trope in some capacity.
• Signature Song: "Mind Playing Tricks on Me" is the most obvious example, though a case can be made for "Damn, It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta" as well.
