General Information


The group was made up of member, Drunk D, Ghetto MC, Bar-None, and DJ Bad News Black. Claiming the moniker the Baby Geto Boys after its extremely successful labelmates, TMT also featured a dwarf, Bar-None, as its answer to Bushwick Bill — the difference being that Bar-None was Caucasian and slightly shorter.


History


After the commercial success of the Rap-A-Lot Records' group, the Geto Boys, many other Houston-based hip-hop artists quickly emerged from the local underground scene. And, many - including TMT - were also signed to Rap-A-Lot. This movement formed a small allegiance among the label's artists which came to be known as The Fifth Ward Circle.

TMT's debut album, Bringing Hell On Earth, was the group's most successful release. Although the content of the album was viewed by some as powerful, other listeners found the material to be at best clichéd and redundant, and at worst utterly nihilistic and extremely disturbing. It is difficult to determine whether the album was intended to be self-parody or mindless exploitation of what was then a hugely profitable subgenre of rap music. Still, Bringing Hell On Earth is now a rare and collectible release from Rap-A-Lot Records' early history, probably best remembered for the misogynistic and extremely violent track, "Take The Pussy", which extolls the virtues of rape and glorifies the sexual abuse of women.


Current Information


Ghetto MC died on June 14, 2013 in Houston, Texas of kidney failure.
