Free Music Review: Bangin Album for the Lowrider
Hit: 5 Stars
WC finally gets a chance to release a solo album, 1998's The Shadiest One. Ater about a decade in the rap game at this point, WC has several group albums with Mad Circle and earlier (in the 80's) with Low Proile. This album came out when the West Coast was losing popularity in the game and the shift in focus went back east. This album is full of fun and bouncy G-Funk and crazy spits by WC. Production goes to Battlecat, Ant Banks, Daz Dillinger, Barr 9, Crazy Toones, among a few others, and all bring their A-game to the boards. Battlecat's "Hog" is an upbeat bouncy lowrider joint with cool keyboards and a vocorder. "F--kin' Wit Uh House Party" is simply a phat joint. Battlecat again provides an energetic lowrider beat, and WC spits funny rhymes about going to a house party with a hoochie amongst rival gang members and gettin beat down, and he gets revenge. The beat is some of the phattest G-Funk I have heard in a long time. Young Tre laces a sunny laidback Cali beat on "Keep Hustlin'" with WC, Too Short and E-40 all delivering their trademark styles, and 40 Water really spits here. All their different rapping styles make for an entertaining listen. "Just Clownin'" is another Battlecat joint with a bass-heavy, deep-groove beat; WC describes about "snatchin' muthaf----s outta Nissan trucks" when Run-DMC starting out. He drops funny lines like that throughout the album. He may be humorous but he is definitely street and both elements create what we like about WC, along with his changeable flows that stay in tune with the beats. "Cheddar" is a fair Westside Connection hustler joint that sounds like it would be good for the clubs over a Mo' Suavea' southern bounce beat. Ant Banks produces the title track feat. CJ Mac. The beat is almost identical to Banks's beat on the title track his own album, 1995's Do Or Die, only the whiny synth is more prevalent here and the beat is a little faster. CJ and Dub drop some crazy street flows. "Betta Days" is a relaxed, soulful, smooth G-Funker, and WC gives an A-1 performance with a sick flow. The lyrics are deep. Dub can't believe that he made it to the year 1998 considering how crazy life was in his hood, with the loss of friends and gang violence. He drops some philosophy about how to carry on with life. Ron Banks from the Dramatics drops some dope hook vocals. "It's All Bad" is menacing with a hard beat and angry, loud, pessimistic flows by Dub. All in all, if you want an entertaining album with fast gangsta flows, great, funky beats, and some humor mixed in, then this one is for you.
