Ren - would be great fit, but wouldn't happen - dude seems to be done rapping
Maylay - Would be a great fit and is the best combination of realistic + good fit so he ultimately gets my vote
is the best combination of realistic + good fit
The Game - seems like a cool fit and seeming really realistic at this moment ;)
Snoop - wouldn't happen and I don't want him in WSC with the type of music he's making now - if he goes back to gshit, then yes - wsc is g music
Crazy Toones as DJ - would work out cool - but WSC is a 3man group, don't want it to be just Cube & Dub - wouldn't mind a Cube/Dub CD though
Get Mack 10 back or fuck it = don't really care
I chose Crazy Toones.
stylewise, Mack 10 was a perfect fit. Ren is a good fit....but Game being the younger, more now rapper would help record sales quite a bit more then Ren would lol I think the best fit though, stylewise....would be Kam or Jayo.I don't think the poll was "Who would help WSC sell the most records"? Good music doesn't always sell, music that sells isn't always good music...
Putting Ren in the group makes it more like N.W.A. to me. Game works because he's rocking the red rag like Mack 10. He'd be an interesting choice to me. I'd give it a chance but it'd be hard to see anyone in Mack's place.;) word.game or mack 10.nobody else.
Wow, how the fuck is Game leading this poll??? shows how young this forum is. MC Ren is a fucking legend, and the only one worthy of replacing mack 10.
mack 10. if not then fuck it
SHORT KHOP
WSC is a brand mark, once build should be neva changed. the original members are cube wc and mack, and if you replace one the whole building is crashes down.100%

Soulja Boy could join the group if they were concerned about selling records..

im not interested in record sales....but I can guarentee you the group is. That was my point. Actually, fuck that. I AM interested in record sales....as long as there is somebody respectable in the group like Game. I dont want a group with the name Westside Connection to release an album and have it flop. If the West is really gonna be back on the map, we need to sell records.

for about the last 10 years ive been one of the most biased rap fans out there. I pretty much strictly listen to westcoast shit. More particularly, local shit outta SD. But even the most blind westcoast supporter should have enough sense to realize that the West is not making the same noise in the rap community as it did in the early 90's. Partly due to hate from the other sides. Partly due to hate from our own side.
Mack 10, because it worked and it worked well. Otherwise just change the name of the group if you're not gonna go with the original member. Just my opinion.100%
Mack 10, because it worked and it worked well.
I was thinking about this last night.
At the very least, Cube has got people interested and may gain some new fans/sales of his new album.
Raw Footage will give a "preview" of the new group on the song with the 3 of them.
So in between now and August when it drops, I am sure Cube and them are seeing how much hype this is generating.
If it is big enough, all systems go for a WSC album after Raw Footage.
If not, they can just say well it was only for 1 track.
Either way, Cube is building interest in his project and a possible WSC album at the same time.

About The Game being a part of The West Side Connection rumors:
There’s been a lot of rumors and talk about it. Cut the right check and you might see it.
I respect Game and there’s a lot of love from everybody that’s typing it in that wants to see that. Inquiring minds want to know.
Type in and let us know what you feel.
AllHipHop.com: You got The Game on “Get Used To It” and there have been rumors that he’s going to join Westside Connection, is there any truth to that?
Ice Cube: Maybe [smiles]. Maybe.
AllHipHop.com: What’s the current situation with Westside Connection and Mack 10?
Ice Cube: Well me and Mack 10 we fell out, man, about five years ago. We just went our separate way. It ain’t no beef, it ain’t no animosity, it ain’t nothing like that. We just decided, Yo we can’t work together. I’m cool with that. I’m pretty sure he cool with that. That is what it is?

WC Talks New Album, Clarifies Mack 10 Separation
http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.7668/title.wc-talks-new-album-clarifies-mack-10-separation
September 9th, 2008 | Author: Jake Paine
In a new interview with DubCNN.com, west coast veteran and West Side Connection member WC revealed he's presently at work in the studio.
"That's that species in the world that's just full of bacteria, so much shit that it has consumed over the years,"
said WC of the meaning behind his next album title Return of the Barracuda. "If [a barracuda] bites you, it's curtains!
It's a wrap! I done been through so much throughout my career that it's like, I'm the wrong muthafucka to deal with man.
That's how I feel towards the rap game, dealing with the industry.
I don't wanna play by their rules no more, I done got a taste of this independent life and I'm good!
That's why I urge all the upcoming artists out there, all the producers, anybody that's trying to get down: don't hesitate to go out there and do it independently.
You might not get all that money up front or a big advance, but what you get is yours. You own your masters."
There was no word on personnel on the release, which will come on Ice Cube's Lench Mob Records in early 2009.
This will be WC's fourth solo album, after group releases with West Side Connection, The Madd Circle and Low Profile.
Regarding the departure of Mack 10 from West Side Connection, WC was candid.
"As far as Mack 10, I don't have no problems with him, I wish him all the success in the world.
You can't get me to say nothing bad - not to say that you are trying to - but nobody could get me to say something negative or bad about him.
He's always been solid and 100 with me, so I don't have no problems whatsoever with him.
I wish him all the success in the world, but right now with what I got going on, I'm pushing WC and supporting this Lench Mob thang."
WC also would not confirm nor deny rumors that The Game replaced Mack 10 in the Crip and Blood-affiliated trio.
I am surprised as to how many people dislike mack 10
New Mack 10 Interview...talks Westside Connection
http://www.brokencool.com/broken_cool/2009/07/mack-10-im-a-nice-dude.html
MR:
Can we expect chatter of another Westside Connection collabo?
Mack 10:
Nah. I haven’t talked to those guys in quite sometime.
I don’t know what’s going on with that. I’ve got a collaboration album with Glasses Malone.
The name of the group is Mack & Malone. That’s dropping at the top of next year.
I’ve got another album that is already finished practically for next year.
I’m a hustler all day and I’ve got my foot on the gas and I can’t let up right now.
Mack 10 hiphopdx interview: Westside Connect, gives Game props. etc.
http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/features/id.1384/title.mack-10-original-gangster/p.1
DX:
Well you know we still got questions though about that era, and I gotta ask you about the west coast super-group from the ‘Pac era…
When you spoke to HipHopDX last in 2005 [click to read] (http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/features/id.474/title./p.2) you said in regards to Cube and WC, “…my relationship with those guys is cool.”
Four years since you said that are the three heads of Westside Connection still cool with each other?
Mack 10:
Well…I haven’t talked to ‘em. But as far as I know, I don’t think it’s no real problem.
I think everybody just grew up and everybody is handlin’ they business and doin’ them.
And like I always say when people ask me this, I don’t think nobody missin’ no meals.
So that’s the most important thing. So I wish them the best, but I haven’t spoke with ‘em.
DX:
What was your reaction last year when you heard the rumor that Cube was planning on having The Game replace you in the group?
Mack 10:
I smiled about it and wondered who was gonna cut my check. [Laughs]
I was like, “I wonder who gon’ cut my check?” ‘Cause Westside Connection is on Hoo-Bangin’.
[Terrorist Threats] was [released] on Hoo-Bangin’, so who was gon’ cut my check was all I was wondering. It didn’t really matter. I mean, ‘cause I don’t got nothing against Game. I like Game. I’m a fan of Game.
So I laughed about it to be honest with you.
I laughed and the first thing I said [was], “Shit, I wonder who gon’ cut my check?”
DX:
So…Cube runs into you today, it’s just nothing or…?
Mack 10:
What you think it’s gon’ be a big ol’ fight or something?
Nah, I don’t think like that. We grown, dog.
If he run into me, he gon’ say what’s up and I’ma say what’s up. I can’t see it being no different.
I ain’t looking for him, and I don’t think he looking for me.
DX:
The third head of the group, WC, told DubCNN last year about you [click to read] (http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.7668),
“…nobody could get me to say something negative or bad about him.
He’s always been solid and 100 with me, so I don’t have no problems whatsoever with him.
I wish him all the success in the world…”
Mack 10:
That’s what [WC] [click to read] (http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/features/id.162) said? Well shit, that’s good. I wish him the same, honestly.
DX:
So man, no third Westside Connection album ever, ever never ever?
Mack 10:
I don’t know, man. You gotta ask Cube and Dub what they doin’.
I been so busy with this Hoo-Bangin’ shit, man, and moving forward, I haven’t had a chance to think about it. I’m in the fast lane right now, dog.
I’m in the fast lane and I’m speedin’.
So I ain’t really got a chance to like slow down and think about that shit right now.
I gotta get to a pit stop or something and think about it. But like right now, I’m speedin’.
I chose Crazy Toones. Have that fool produce the whole record with Dub and Cube rhyming.
yall need to check the back of that last album and call mack and ask him who do he wanna replacelol mack owns the rights to wsc......
....goes on and on...
What ever happened to Game joining Westside Connection? (http://www.dubcnn.com/connect/index.php?topic=210963.msg2133555#msg2133555)

owns the name? what does that exactly mean? (they can't use it or have to pay royalties?)
I think it was on Priority/Da Lench Mob. I don't have the CD with me right now, so i can't check it out.yup true.
Putting Ren in the group makes it more like N.W.A. to me. Game works because he's rocking the red rag like Mack 10. He'd be an interesting choice to me. I'd give it a chance but it'd be hard to see anyone in Mack's place.Glad someone said that. Putting ren in would be mini nwa+wc. Game cause of the red. These other guys that was put on the list, haven't heard of them but have them. Get these newbloods some shine. Couldn't picture them without mack 10.
so westside connection as a group wit them 3 members are still signed to mack or he owns that name or wut?my guess is that they copywrited the name with all there signatures under there.
cuz thats what it sounds like
mack 10. if not then fuck itTHAT'S IT!

Therefor they would all have equal rights to the name.
And Mack wouldn't give permission to replace him since he owns the name partially
