I thought this album was a huge dissapointment. Mack 10's flow was off, W.C.'s flow was off, Cube wasn't ripping it, the production was very weak. I'm all for putting new cats on, but not when the new cats are wack. They wanted to make a Hardcore Hip Hop album, but to me they failed. There was nothing hardcore about it. Bow Down was Hardcore Hip Hop. That was a classic album. That's 5/5. Terrorist Threats is a 3/5 and I'm being generous. West Coast album of the year? Fuck no. This shit was hot garbage.
-
i thought it was pretty dope, not classic, but i bump it alot. the production was good, Don't Get Outta Pocket had a bangin beat.. some songs were weaker tho like Izm or Bangin At The Party IMO
over 4.2/5

yeah it definatly went the west coast route and didn't live up to the hype....there's no real bangers on this, wasn't as ruff as the first one....mack 10 is lazy, WC didn't seem to have as much freedom as in the first....and if i hear ice cube was good but not spectacular...
the song bow down shits on any of these songs easily
-
There was like 4 or 5 wack boring songs. only like 3 were bangers. teh rest were average.

well, its not a banger like bow down, but still a nice album compared to all the other releases this year. cube comes nice and the production is good too.

I don't know. This year was weak, but this album falls in that category. I can name at least 10 albums much better than this.
Love & Hate
Judgement Day
Goodbrothers
Listening
Deliverance
Full Circle
West Kostra Nostra
Spirit In Stone
Shadows On The Sun
Revolutionary 2

i agree...my fav songs are 911 and potential victims...shits bangin.
-
i agree its not the album of the year but it was a damn good album.
-
I thought it was weak. Gangsta Nation is by far the best song.
-
I'm thinking it's pretty good, well above average. Granted, there are tracks on it that could be a lot better (especially Mack 10's flow on some tracks is way off...) but overall I think it's pretty dope.
some songs were weaker tho like Izm
over 4.2/5
Maybe I haven't been listening to it carefully enough, but I think Izm is a dope track. To each their own I guess.
But c'mon - y'all gotta admit that the subject matter on this album (well most of the tracks, not the party ones) is something exceptional in hip-hop of this day in age. These guys got something to say and things to adress on this album, they ain't just talking about bling bling, bitches and bullshit.
-
i agree its not the album of the year but it was a damn good album.
word
as for rating i agree with nima with 4.2
Whether you liked it or you didnt, its really a matter of opinion like everything i guess..
-

bangin at the party was weak...but izm is one of my favorite tracks on the album lol

They had nothing to say but "Hip Hop doesn't need love songs." Not really "exceptional" if you ask me.
-
It's a good album, not great. I give it a 7.5/10 maybe a 7.
BTW, I think that last track is a horrible way to end the album. I think ending an album on a high note is very important.
-
I have always been a fan of beats and flow over complex lyrics. This CD is veery solid...nothin great classic or exceptional, but it's far from weak to me. It isn't too many songs that have u itchin to play em like some other albums have had, but it's not any songs that I think are weak. Bangin at the party and Izm are tite as hell for house party tracks, maybe even at a club. There are some songs that I'd prefer to hear over others, but I can play this cd straight thru without wantin to change the tracks.
-
Its definatly a solid album, but was also a dissapointment in my eyes.

4.2/5
Yeah, I can agree with that.
Not as hardcore as they said/wanted it to be, but pretty cool..
Probably Westcoast album of the year, in front of Yukmouth, Boo Ya Tribe and Defari..
-
in all fairness...we cant really compare it to bow down...i mean...everyone says "it was a dissapointment compared to bow down"...but fuck...almost every album released since bow down has been a dissapointment compared to bow down. that album is straight classic. thats like trying to compare It was written to Illmatic...both damn good albums but one is always going to be better than the other (while most people say illmatic i say it was written was better)
-
4/5
-

The Production on all 3 of those LPs was MUCH hotter. Lyrically and flow wise Defari and Yuk came stronger. Ridds flow was still better than Dime, Cube and Dub. I don't see it.
Luke: I would NEVER compare this garbage to Bow Down, but I was told and seen people say this album was better than Bow Down.
-
I respect your opinions but I really liked the album. Only tracks I really disliked were Izm & Banging At The Party. Cube looks like he could make the transition back to his old self in the next few years, and Mack 10 came dope IMO. WC was dope as well.
-
I think people are calling it album of the year right now because it just came out and you know how excitable some people get (eg calling obie trice and g-unit album classics).
BUT I think you're being harsh. Ice Cube ripped this album up. I agree Mack and Dub were disappointing, but shit Cube made up for it. His best lics since the better songs on the War disc. And Dub was okay, he's just getting old.
Beats were on the whole impressive. Couple of very average tracks and nothing really forward-thinking, but for a gangsta album the beats were hard.
Topics were good, totally summed up real West coast fans attitude towards the industry in 2003 imo.
Definitely a hot album in its own right, fuck comparing it to shit that came out 7 years ago. Coulda been better, coulda been a lot worse.
But I'm still giving album of the year to Yuk.
-
^^If it is that hot, then I guess I'm not being that harsh. I'm just being straight up. I gave this CD a bump at home, in the car and at work twice. It never caught my attention AT ALL. Aside from the singles, "Gangsta Nation" and "Lightz Out," there may have been two other tracks, one being "So Many Rappers In Love," that I liked. Possibly if I didn't hear all the hype prior to getting the album, I might have had a different opinion. But, as of now, this album is nowhere near my top albums of the year.
Mack 10 suprised me, Da Hood was hot, Bang Or Ball was hot, his guest appearances were HOT. He didn't do shit on this album.
W.C. usually kills tracks with his flow, but he just seemed lazy and unmotivated.
Cube. His flow is always so powerful, I just didn't feel it on here. Lyrically, he's coming stronger, but if your flow ain't there, you ain't getting through to anyone.
-
yukmouth- godzilla without a doubt. Yuk be holdin down the westcoast!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Its definatly a solid album, but was also a dissapointment in my eyes.
-
i liked the album for the most part, few tracks they could have done without. It seemed kinda too faced paced. It didnt really give you a lot of time to let it marinate.
-
Even tho this CD doesn't compare to Bow Down, Bow Down isn't as timeless as many other west coast classics IMO, and right now I'd rather hear Terrorist threats. Some beats on Bow Down just sound toooo old 2 get into, other than the radio tracks.
-

if 3/5 is garbage, what's 1/5 ?
IMO it was ok, but definitely not album of the year, and not west coast album of the year either
-

1/5? That would probably THE worst album ever. Terrorist Threats is garbage when called Album or West Coast Album of the year. It's garbage compared to the QUALITY that tops MY lists. It's an average album.
-
if 3/5 is garbage, what's 1/5 ?
a 50 cent album
-
Beats: 4.5
Lyrics: 4
Flow: 3
i give it a 7/10
-
It's garbage compared to the QUALITY that tops MY lists.
im glad not everybodys got the same taste of music..
not one single album of your list
reaches a better rating then 6 of 10 by me..
didnt you say sly boogie gonna bring the west back this year ?
where he at ?
lmao

is there any album
that was released between 1999-2003
where you can say after 1 week of bumpin it :
wow, this album is better than bow down !
?
does this make the new WSC a bad album ?!
-
Only time makes an album a classic. If Bow Down was released today, there would be lots of people in here saying its garbage and hatin.
In a few years we'll say Terrorist Threats was one of the biggest releases of the West Coast.

LOL. Yea, you're busy giving Mrs. Sancha props. Haha.
Sly Boogy is readying his major label album. Releasing a very good first single. Don't trip, he's coming. Keep hoping SCC will make a comeback.

lol @sly boogie...
why dont you admit it, you was wrong ...
haha
-
WSC = dope album ;)
Only (hip-hop) album I could keep longer than a week
in my rotation. "still bumpin' it"
all other 21/2 high profile releaes this year..(such as)
Jay-Z...
G-unit...ect
only got one listen, and became coaster's.
even tho I liked the first spin..
I just lost interest in them as soon as I heard the whole album once.
(Prob, never wanna hear them again)
Mix-tapes saturated the market and killed regular issues this year ImO.
put them to shame in other words..
----------------------------------
Defari "Odds & Evens"
Best album of the year iMo. (any coast)
Crooked I "Westcoasanostra"
Solo Mixtape of the year iMo.
IV Life underground vol 1.4
Label mixtape of the year iMo.
Opinion's are what make this music..

haha
Further proof that your taste is beyond horrible. LOL. SCC, they haven't held it down since 97. And, ain't nothing to admit, Sly Boogy had a good year. He popped up in the Source, "California" got a lot of burn on the radio, more than most West Coast artists this year, he got picked up by a major. So, I think Sly IS bringing back the West.
-
DAMN DO NIGGAS JUST WANNA HEAR SLOW ASS BEATS ALL THE TIME!!!!!,SHIT LIKE THAT KILL THIS RAP SHIT,AND LIL BROTHER IS NICE,SLY BOOGIE DOES HIS THING,BUT FUTURE KING OF THE COAST HELL NAH,YALL NIGGAS IS EXTRA
-
After 2 weeks, Im not really impressed with Terrorist Threats...A big dissapointment in my eyes now.
Its like theyre talking about the exact same shit in almost every song and I get tired of this cd real fast.
"Gangsta Nation" and "Lights Out" are by far the best tracks, "Gotta Have Heart" & "Pimp the System" are tight aswell, but other than that, Im not really feelin the album like I thought I would.
-
Its like theyre talking about the exact same shit in almost every song and I get tired of this cd real fast.
yep, got tired of the wscg lyrics real quik, every song is about the same thing. production was good but could have been much better. i wonder how ill feel in 3 weeks. defari was much better than this production wise, let alone the lyrics

i agree with that entirely....sadly too many people sleepin on little brother...
i gotta agree with SGV...california got a shitload of radio play...westcoast shit never plays here in seattle unless its snoop dogg or 2pac...and even california was getting play here.
-
yall some hating muthafuckas, westside connection new album is the shit, fuck the other albums. ice cube is a legend so deal with it.
-
I like the album for what it is...I admit that it doesn't even come close to "Bow Down," and if you compare the 2, "Bow Down" destroys the fuck out of "Terrorist Threats." But "Terrorist Threats" is still a bangin' album, and is better than most of the garbage being put out today...PeACe
-
NO DOUBT WESTSIDER RYDERS BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
yall some hating muthafuckas, westside connection new album is the shit, fuck the other albums. ice cube is a legend so deal with it.
What does being a legend have to do with anything? Does that give him points? LOL. Man, the album was weak, face it. You're caught up in the hype and the names.
-
actually i am not caught up in ice cubes hype at all...in fact i dont own a single ice cube album other than the war & peace albums and bow down...and i love terrorist threats...i think the problem is that bow down is clouding peoples vision. terrorist threats was one of the best albums of the last 3 or 4 years
-
i think the problem is that bow down is clouding peoples vision.
That basically sums it up...
-
HEY SGV, YOU ARE JUST A BIG AZZ HATA. GO AHEAD AND LISTEN TO YOUR CHINGY, NELLY, JA RULE CD BECAUSE EVENUALLY YOU DON'T KNOW REAL HIP HOP!!!!!!
WESTSIDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
-
LMAO. Chingy's album was much better than this garbage. And, never tell me about Real Hip Hop. There is no such thing. But, if you want to know about some good Hip Hop, go grab an Immortal Technique album. Brother Ali, Little Brother, Aceyalone. That's good Hip Hop. You're officially a clown.

Chingy's flow is crazy. He had some bangers on that album. Plus, production was knocking. Can't say the same for WSC. The production was WEAK. Nobody's flow was too tight, Cube maybe, but that's iffy. Maybe 3 bangers at best.

My opinion is that your opinion is wrong.
