Richard Shaw (born December 8, 1966 in Jamaica), known by his stage name, Bushwick Bill, is an American rapper of Jamaican descent. He is best known as being a member of the rap group, Geto Boys. Bushwick Bill has dwarfism. He lost his eye when he was depressed, drunk and suicidal, and went to his girlfriend's house and asked her to shoot him. She refused, and he threatened to hurt their baby. After a struggle, the gun went off and the bullet pierced his eye which left the bullet stuck inside his head. Bill survived the accident[1]. The album cover for Geto Boy's 1991 album, We Can't Be Stopped is a picture of Bill in the hospital after his accident[2].
