 (7 Customer Reviews)
For his third solo album, underrated West Coast gangsta Dub-C split with Def Jam, and signed to his old Westside Connection bandmate Ice Cube's label. He's joined by Ice, the Game, producer Rick Rock, and a host of others on gritty, cinematic tales of ghetto life, leavened with touches of humor and masterful, R&B-flecked musicality. It's not so much the beats or the production that make a WC album, it's the deft, hard-hitting rhymes, found in abundance here on tracks like "This Is Los Angeles" and "West Coast Voodoo."
As rap has become ubiquitous, its artists have moved slowly but steadily away from the street-centered mentality that made the music so potent in the 1980s and early 1990s. Realizing that rap has lost its edge and intensity, Los Angeles rap icon and Westside Connection member WC returns rap to its creative roots -- exemplary lyricism, conceptual greatness, bone-crushing production -- on his masterful new album, Guilty By Affiliation.
Personnel: Crazy Toones (scratches).
Additional personnel: Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, The Game, Butch Cassidy.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Best DUB C album EVER!! Absolutely SICK!!!!!
Veteran West Coast O.G, WC, spits straight FIRE from beginning to end on this album!! Ice Cube handles the production, and let me say, does an amazing job. WC's lyrics are tight, clever, and just straight FLOW with the clever beats by Ice Cube.
This is without a doubt the best West Coast album of the year. So glad WC finally got his chance to SHINE after all these years of being in the background.
I really like how Ice Cube resurrected LENCH MOB as the name of his label, and now is totally Independent. Thanks to Cube, WC finally should have his time...

Binga & Gogo's collaboration is a natural extension of a lifelong link; a story spread across three continents and two lifetimes, with reference points including a Federal prison and Disneyland.Binga & Gogo are siblings; soul mates on a remarkable musical mission. She is the vocalist, a Euro-pop chanteuse one second, heart-melting soul poetess the next. He is a bandleader and arranger, a keyboard player with iconoclastic piano style illuminating an orchestral archway into a vivid sonic soundscape. Together they craft inventive and memorable modern pop songs.Binga(nee Tomasina Abate) was a performer virtually from birth. She vocalized in the crib while her father, a rock musician, would rehearse his band. At age four, her mother would dress her up as a floozy, have the family all shine flashlights on her while she'd sing "Hello, Dolly." From these auspicious beginnings it was a short leap to procuring costumes from Goodwill and producing entertainment for the neighborhood kids. Tomasina would appear during intermission at backyard boxing matches to sing selections from Annie, while the bruised and bloody were attended to.Gogo(nee Joseph Abate), younger brother, was her co-conspirator. Due to the limitations of his original instrument -- the TV Guide, which doubled as his drum kit, he progressed to the actual snare drum in elementary school, then learned guitar and trumpet. When the marching band needed a baritone horn, he mastered and marched; when the school jazz band needed a trombone player, he studied the slide. Based on his musical abilities, he enrolled at the prestigious Los Angeles County High School for the Arts.The two grew up in Lakewood, California, a suburb where vestiges of dairy farms and Dutch Villages were fast dissolving into strip malls and fast food franchises. Binga & Gogo were their childhood nicknames. A convergent musical destiny began as they performed together in show choir and sang and danced for the elderly and infirm at convalescent homes.After high school, Joseph joined the Navy and trained as a nuclear power engineer, but disillusioned, he went AWOL. When he was sentenced to incarceration in the Navy's grim Miramar Prison, he began writing songs and conceptualizing a band with his sister.Tomasina's first professional job was performing on The Queen Mary. She landed a gig in Japan and toured the country with recording artist, Anri. She then joined a show in Monte Carlo, came back to the U.S. performed at Disneyland, went back to Monte Carlo, returned ...

Guilty By Affiliation
$9.99
Christina Athena, raising the vibration of this planet through sound, light and love. Christina is a poet, singer, songwriter and guitarist. She is inspired by her "dreams, life experiences and the vibration of musical notes". Her music is lyrical, soothing, and reflective. Christina's childhood education included both Art and the Performing Arts. She began playing the piano at the age of three and by ten performed her first piano recital. She loved to sing and play her piano but whenever she was asked to entertain, she always declined. She found performing in front of people difficult. When Christina turned thirty one, she went through a life altering event that left her visually impaired. Everything changed. She became depressed and quit playing the piano.Twenty two years later, at a toning workshop, Christina Karamesines met poet, singer, songwriter, Richard Fammeree who is responsible for her stage name "Christina Athena". The next morning, Christina woke up with the chords and lyrics to "Journey". She contacted Richard and asked him to teach her how to play the song on a guitar and off she went to buy one. In less then a year, Christina began performing. She ...
