4.0 out of 5 stars Westside Connection- Terrorist Threats, December 9, 2003

This review is from: Terrorist Threats (Audio CD)

Westside Connection's (Ice Cube, Mack 10, WC) second album is "Terrorist Threats" (2003). Believe it or not it has been seven years since there last album "Bow Down". This release is 14 tracks long with two multimedia additions. After a short intro, "Call 9-1-1" gets things started well, like the chorus says this ones a banger. Awile back first track I heard off this album on the radio was "Gangsta Nation" feat. Nate Dogg, this is a memorable cut and my favourite at the moment. Westside Connection and Nate Dogg collabrate well on the lead single. Next couple of cuts dont really standout that much for me, maybe with more play they will. "So Many Rappers in Love" definitely does standout though, this a track where Westside Connection tears into MC's who used to act gangsta, fake thugs, and those who overuse R & B collabrations. While some people might think this is hating, I see it just as them expressing there views on how the games changed and how some rappers change there styles to get mainstream appeal. Westside Connection is basically sick of the never ending amount of R & B/Rap collabrations out these days on the radio and are speaking out about it. Backed by a nice beat and a exceptional chorus Westside Connection delivers a great track with "You Gotta Have Heart" a cut about surviving and thriving in the game. The title track "Terrorist Threats" has the connection dropping some more hardcore rhymes backed by a pounding beat. The closing track is "Superstar" (Double Murder = Double Platinum), a track where Westside Connection talks about the industry, media and how being shot or having a criminal record can make selling units easier regardless of actual skill. By dropping some bangers and not holding back on there opinions on "Terrorist Threats" Westside Connection have delivered a strong album worth checking out.

damn I'm glad westside connection made a comeback this is better than the first cube, wc, and mack 10 has delivered and this is such a relief from the lame crappy love songs I've been hearing from all these stupid rappers who can't decide whether they're thugs or lovers. cube, and mack 10 is tight, and wc gives us more of that crazy flow he's known for I think wc is the best rapper I've heard this millenium can nobody touch his style check out the shadiest one, and ghetto heisman.

banging this whole cd is the best cd I' heard all year and worth the money I hope this brings the west coast some recognition since everybody's riding their straps like jay z, ja rule, camron, nelly, and noreaga copying slang by my man e40 glad that california isn't all about sno, and eminem and 50.

yo 50 cent, g unit, and other new york rappers take notes.

"Terrorist Threats" is full of "bangers" and starts off really strong. The first 8-9 songs are very catchy and are potential hits. The rapping skill of Ice Cube, Mack 10 & WC have not reached a new level, but they still deliver some incredible verses. The only problem with this release is that as the album progresses towards the end, the songs become less hard and less "gangsta", but rather more melodic and r'n'b like. This, to a certain extend, spoils the overall impression of the album. Still, all songs are worth listening, especially to people with wider tastes in rap. Compared to Westside Connection's previous album, this one is a bit of a lyrical downfall, but is still truly worth your time
