Crate Diggers - 35 - "Mind Playing Tricks On Me" by Geto Boys

Join Verbz, a DJ with over 20 years behind the decks, and his brother Steez, a lifelong music producer, as they dig through the crates and share records from their collections. On Episode 35, we pull out a 12 inch vinyl single of Mind Playing Tricks On Me by the Geto Boys from 1991, one of the most psychologically honest and culturally important rap records ever made. This record captures a rare moment in hip hop where vulnerability, paranoia, and mental health are placed front and center without compromise. We break down the iconic Isaac Hayes sample Hung Up on My Baby, digging into why it works so perfectly as a haunting emotional backbone and how it elevates the song’s sense of dread and introspection. From the subtle musical choices to the overall pacing, this episode explores why the production feels timeless and unsettling in the best way. Verbz shares a personal story about doing a show with Scarface and DJ Quik, we unpack the wild and tragic story behind Bushwick Bill losing his eye, and we talk about Scarface’s role as one of rap’s greatest dark storytellers. Most importantly, we discuss how Mind Playing Tricks On Me tackles mental illness, anxiety, and paranoia in a way that remains rare in rap even decades later. This episode dives into Houston rap history, Southern hip hop’s evolution, and why this record still resonates with listeners navigating real life struggles. If you love vinyl, hip hop history, and records that tell uncomfortable truths, this one is essential listening.
