Battlecat gave WC dope beats.. i really appreciate the new album if battlecat had produced some tracks


Quote from: Soopafly DPGC about his hands
I don't live for the man, but I do study him so I can hope my pimp hands one day become as strong as his. When i first started listening to him, my hands were only strong enough to crush a beetle.  Now that i've studied him for 15 years, my hands are strong enough to crush a dog.

Rich Rollin- This should be played in high volume, preferably in a residential area.  ;D

Yeah the whole album front to back is bangin. Like That is probably my favorite. Perfect for ya system. WC ripped every song on that album.

Unbelieveable album.  I still bang "The Shadiest One" atleast once a week.  The best two albums or 1998: WC "The Shadiest One" and Daz Dillinger "R.R.G.B."  Nuff said.

I was playing this yesterday, and I was thinking about how underrated it is.

Personally, I think it's the best album that anyone from the WSCG has released since Bow Down, and I think it's arguably his best album, with Curb Servin possibly being #1 or 2. I think this album is better than all of Mack 10's albums..and it doesn't sound nearly as dated as Bow Down, which is still a great album but does sound much more mid 90's than this album. I think this album may have been a year or two late, and if it had dropped when the West was still running the game, it may be more respected...but as of now, it only seems like a classic to those who are from L.A. and who are 21+, because young cats don't even know much about it.

The three singles were fire...."Just clownin" "Cheddar" and "Can't run away", along with "Hog" getting played on Theo's show on 92.3 back then. There aren't really any songs that I have to skip, and the album cuts were strong as hell.

no doubt its a classic album. best since bowdown from anyone? not sure, i rate ice cube war and peace vol.1 , but one of those 2 fo sho. propz for a good thread.

I've only heard "The Shadiest One" and "Guilty by Affiliation", but found with both these albums that WC gets a little boring after a few tracks.  That's why I think that the two Westside Connection albums are classics - Terrorist Threats is definitely underrated.  WC is a lot better when you contrast him with Ice Cube and Mack 10.

OK, maybe classic isn't the right word...  I just thought that it was a pretty solid album.  I definitely liked it better than "Bow Down" but maybe that's because I'm pretty new to the rap scene.  I liked "Terrrorist Threats" because of its energy.  The one thing I've always liked about Ice Cube (and whomever he's working with) is his usually energetic and intense songs.  With Westside Connection,I guess I'm more about the overall feel of the album than more technical aspects such as deep lyrics or beat quality.  That's why I like to listen to songs like "Gangsta Nation", "Call 911", and "Get Ignit."  I also appreciate the message in "So Many Rappers In Love."
