 (6 Customer Reviews)
Veteran West Coast rapper has been around the block enough times to have something to say about it, and listening to his impassive, masterful depiction of the gangsta lifestyle on THE SHADIEST ONE is somewhat akin to reading Mario Puzo's detailed, unflinching accounts of Mafia life. You're spared neither the gritty aspects of the tale nor the unavoidably human ones. Aided in his endeavors by longtime West Coast compatriot Ice Cube, as well as Too Short, E-40 and CJ Mac, WC shades his tunes with touches of funk and R&B, and keeps the arrangements eerily atmospheric, so as to provide the proper setting for his grim underworld visions on THE SHADIEST ONE.

classic
W.C., originally part of a early 90's Los Angeles rap trio The Maad Circle to the mid-90's with his patnaz Ice Cube & Mack 10 formed a group called Westside Connection, my Locc W.C. drops hard unlike on Ghetto Heismen, The Shadiest One has more Dope beats, is waay harder and in some songs like The Shadiest One featuring CJ Mac, is Hard, Heavy & Grim. W.C.'s most popular hit on hear was the song Just Clownin', yet W.C. can't go soft with the song Like That featuring CJ Mac & Mack 10, just another Heavy Hitter. W.C. goes crazy loco with his boys in the Maad Circle on the song It's All Bad. W.C. has proven to be a true Locc, and a West Coast Heavy Hitter.
Dub's best are 1, 3, *4, 5, 6, *7, 8, 9, *10, 11, 12, 13, *15, 16 & 17.

Shadiest One album
 $11.99 
With an innovative idea, (a double disc with divided between West and East coasts), Kurupt packs some impressive jams onto his Antra/A&M solo debut, KURUPTION. Giving each coast at least 10 tracks to flip over, Kurupt enlists a super team of producers to help him complete his mission. His Dogg Pound partner Daz, L.A. beat-maker Battlecat, Bay area producer Studiotone, funk freaker Priest "Soopafly" Brooks, D-Moet and newcomer Storm from the Wu-Tang Clan serve up thick slices of sonic butter. Some of the tracks that ...
| | Krayzie Bone Thug Mentality 1999 CDs (1999)
Shadiest One CD music
$10.95 
Theoretically, an epic hip-hop album could be compelling, but almost of all of the sweepstake entries are tedious, serving to diminish the artist's music instead of enhancing it. Nowhere was that more true than Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's overwrought third album, The Art of War and, unfortunately, that same sense of hubris characterizes Thug Mentality 1999, the ridiculously inflated debut solo album from Krayzie Bone. Freed from the group setting but not necessarily the members -- who fill some of the obligatory guest slots, along with Bone family members such as Relay -- Krayzie doesn't hesitate to accentuate the already smooth surfaces of his music. Some of these cuts are positively smoove, which stands in direct contrast to the gangstafied lyrics, but that's always been a part of the Bone trademark. In fact, other than the occasional cut that veers toward urban territory, there isn't a whole lot to differentiate this from the average Bone release -- there's just ...

When Snoop Dogg announced that he was leaving Death Row Records, many wondered why he would abandon one of the most successful hip-hop record labels in the business. Quickly announcing that his third album would be put out on none other than the Master P-owned label No Limit, it was obvious why he would make that decision. As ...
