West Side Heavy Hitter 2007 Album

WC

This had been on my to-listen-to list for quite some time. Given it's a mixtape, is probably why I waited a long time to check it out. It features WC over some big instrumentals from hits around the time of release like Nas' 'Thief's Theme', J-Kwon's 'Hood Hop', 'Ante Up' from M.O.P. and Lloyd Bank's great 'On Fire', to name a few. There are also some Dub-C solo songs like 'The Streets' and his hits with Westside Connection, 'Bow Down' and 'Gangsta's Make The World Go Round'. Because we only get snippets and not the full four minute tracks with hooks, the catchiness isn't here but WC is a unique enjoyable spitter and the beats are enjoyable. It's worth checking out but probably won't stay in rotation for too long. Best Tracks: I Ain't the One, Warrior Pt. 2, Why I Love You, Gangsta's Make the World Go Round, Hood Hop, Bow Down, 24 Hours to Live, On Fire, Not Your Average Joe, The Streets, Ain't No Fun, That's My Name, Get Ya Walk On (Rmx)
