Only God Knows

Who's The Biggest?

Richard Shaw (born December 8, 1966),[1] better known by the stage name Bushwick Bill, is a member of the American hip hop group Geto Boys. He was born in Jamaica, but moved to Brooklyn, New York as a young child.

The most well-known event of Bushwick Bill's life was a shooting accident in which he lost his right eye. One night in May 1991, while depressed, drunk and suicidal, he went to his girlfriend's house and asked her to shoot him. She refused, and he threatened to harm their baby. After a struggle, the gun went off, piercing his eye, leaving a bullet stuck inside his head. He survived the accident, but lost his eye.[3] The whole story is told in detail in the song "Ever So Clear" and its accompanying music video. The song name is a reference to the grain alcohol he was drinking at the time of the accident: Everclear. While in the hospital, a picture was taken for The Geto Boys' next album We Can't Be Stopped. In the album cover, the two other members of Geto Boys, Willie D and Scarface, are pushing a gurney down a hospital hall, and the bloodied swollen eye can clearly be seen.

Bushwick Bill can also be heard and seen in the album The Chronic by Dr. Dre. He appears in the video for Dre Day as one of Eazy E's fellow rappers, as well as the introducing and concluding parts of Stranded on Death Row which was performed by Kurupt of Tha Dogg Pound, RBX, the Lady of Rage and Snoop Doggy Dogg. His 1998 album No Surrender…No Retreat was dedicated to his friend Gil Epstein, a Fort Bend County prosecutor, who was shot dead in Houston, Texas, in 1996.[4]

In July 2008, he appeared with the Geto Boys at a concert in Houston also at the time manager Rick Robinson aka Double R CEO and Founder of iMG Recordings & SoulFood Muzic Management .[5]

In regards to fame, he stated:
“ Fame will make you crazy. Fame isn't for everybody. There are people who have a fear of fame, those who want fame, and those who don't understand fame. It drives them crazy, because it is a lot of responsibility to be all things to all people, and you can lose yourself in the shuffle, where there are no longer 52 cards in the deck.[6] ”

Bushwick Bill also appears on the "Martin" TV show in the first season, playing "Trey", who gets in a fight with Tommy over an ex girlfriend.

In 2006, Bushwick Bill became a born again Christian.[2]

In May 2010, Bushwick Bill was arrested in Georgia for possession of marijuana and cocaine. Based on his prior arrest record, he may be deported by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.[2]

In February 2011, Bushwick Bill made his return to gangster rap with famous rapper, Young Jeezy, in the song "Nightmare". The single, though is public, is unreleased. It can be found on YouTube.
