On October 24, 2000, Houston legend Willie D of the Geto Boys released his fifth solo album Loved by Few, Hated by Many through Rap-A-Lot Records. This project continued Willie D’s tradition of raw, no-nonsense Southern realism — balancing street perspective with social commentary and political insight. The album featured tracks like “Dear God”, “Rookie of the Year”, and “Clean Up Man”, showcasing Willie’s sharp lyrical wit and fearless critique of hypocrisy, fake friends, and the industry. It cemented his place as one of the most outspoken voices from Texas hip-hop — respected for saying what others won’t. #SouthernRapHistory #WillieD #GetoBoys #HoustonRap #RapALotRecords #SouthernRap #RapHistory
