This album should not even be compared with the other WWF records. It is a perfect mix of the best wrestlers, with an all-star team of the hippest names in Rap. Even if you had no interest in the WWF, if you are into rock or hip-hop you will love this record. Every track sounds like it could be a cut from the artists new album, not something that was whipped up to make quick money. As good as it is, i would buy it just for the Run-DMC song.

WWF Aggression reminds me a lot of the "Blade" movie soundtrack. This time around though, rap stars perform songs inspired by WWF Superstars. The best of the bunch is Run DMC's take on DX's theme music. Mankind's song was all right, although with Kool Keith and ODB on the mike, it would've been nifty mixing Mick Foley's other themes/personas (Dude Love & Cactus Jack). Theme #3 is the People's Champion (with Method Man supplying the rhymes). It might not be the most electrifying song on the CD, but it doesn't matter what I think! Snoop Dogg & W.C. throw down on Steve Austin's inspired "Hell Yeah" (get well soon Stone Cold). Mr. Vince McMahon's "No Chance" gets a nice makeover courtesy of Redman, Rock (from Heltah Skeltah) and Peanut Butter Wolf. Song #6 was the surprise of the bunch. C Murder and Magic should submit "I Won't Stop" to the "Blade 2" soundtrack! Tha Eastsidaz rhyme to the rythm of Kane's "Big Red Machine." Y2J's theme is good enough by itself, though RA The Rugged Man does a decent job on the mic. The NAO theme is another selection that's better in it's original format, but for the sake of hip-hop art, Bad Azz (not Billy Gunn) and Techniec kick in the jams. As far as the Godfather's theme, Ice T was the logical choice for Pimpin' Ain't Easy Man. HHH's theme is yet another song that's good enough left alone, then along come Mystikal & Ras Kass to change my opinion. This one's another of my unexpected favorites. Mack 10, K Mac, Boo Kapone & MC Eiht do a decent take on the Big Show's song, and wrapping up this eclectic CD, (Dame Grease Presents) Meeno brings it home with the Undertaker's "Ministry".

Overall, keeping the "original" entrance music and "inspired by" selections on separate CD's was a good decision by the WWF. "Aggression" has a better repeat listen potential than WCW's "Mayhem" from a few months ago. If you like pancakes, give it a try and you'll never, eeeeeeeeeeeever regret it again!

the music was great. the "great one" is in this and you give him your money to smell what the rock is cooking. walls of jerhico is an awesome remix and stone cold theme is off the hook. big show was alittle bit of a down fall but the DX theme conter reacts it by Run Dmc tearing up the mic.

As soon as I heard the first track, I was hooked. The DX theme song "The Kings" is definitely my favorite of the bunch. My other favorite tracks include Y2J, Stone Cold, & the Outlaws' theme. Some of the lyrics may not be appropriate for your kids; although there's nothing here that you haven't already heard on WWF television. Aside from that, the artists and the WWF have done a great job! Altogether, would I recommend this album for WWF fans? OH HELL YEAH!

This album still lives by me as 1 of my fav Hip Hop albums. Despite some of the poor reviews & the like i still find it very enjoyable. Hell i listened to the whole thing 2day even. Ill run thru the tracks for you & tell you of the cut tracks that were kept on the album as well. The only thing i dont like about it is that its cenored. Apart from that job well done WWE.

1. The Kings by Run DMC (RIP JMJ): Very damn catchy & anyone who has seen the video, thats cool too. 1 of the more recognizable songs on the album & it really stands out. DX Music is kept & it makes it all the better.

2. Wreck by Kool Keith & ODB (RIP 2 u 2): Some people dont like this song, personally i like it, ODB is very whack & catchy & so is Kool Keith, i liked the McD's line, anyway hook is alright.

3. Know Your Role by Method Man: Now this guy did his homework. He captured lots of the Rocks sayings & punchlines in here, very well done, hook is abit irritating after a million times a listen but very good song

4. Hell Yeah by Snoop Dogg & W.C: This song rocked with Dub-C on the verse & Snoop on the hook, definitly a favourite track, very catchy & keeps the Stone Cold theme.

5. No Chance by Redman & Rock of Heltah Skeltar feat. Peanut Butter Wolf: This song has been said as weak but personally this really is a song that gets to grow on you eventually. Redman is good & the hook is pretty decent

6. I Wont Stop by C-Murder & Magic: This song is pretty cool with a good hook, suits the Gangrel theme, i liked the random laughter & stuff, very creepy

7. Big Red Machine by Tha Eastsidaz: good references & lyrics, Kanes theme is sorta kept here, hook is evil but anyway this is Kane afterall.

8. Break Down The Walls by RA The Rugged Man: a very catchy, good hook & enjoyable song. Good job

9. You Aint Hard by Technice (or however you spell it) & Bad Azz: this song is funny & has good punchlines. hook is rememberable & catchy, i liked it.

10. Pimpin' Aint Easy by Ice-T: great song, good theme 4 Ice-T, handled very well.

11. Game by Mystikal & Ras Kass: great angry song with a very dang out there hook. suits i loved this song.

12. Big by Mack 10, K Mac, Boo Kapone & MC Eiht: using shows theme puts together a decent song, A Hoo-Banging family song, alright but could of done better.

13. Ministry by Dame Grease presents Meeno (or just Meeno): great song produced by Dame Grease & Meeno was out there with the theme, excellant song & what a way to wrap up the album.

Cut songs:
Kane by Method Man: Very damn catchy & is actually sung over Kane's theme (old school 1), download @ Wu-Tang Clan's official site

thats all i got this against my mums wishies when i was little. Its a great hip hop album & 2 videos were made in conjunction with this Know Your Role & The Kings. Also Ice-T performed his @ a Wrestlemania years ago.

The hype was tremendous, the names well known--What went wrong?

First, to clarify a couple of things. WWF Agression is a rap-oriented CD. If you detest rap so much that you refuse to buy rap music, this is not for you. If you are expecting rock music of any kind, go somewhere else. Agression is also not the original themes of these wrestlers. If you want those, they can be found on the various WWF: The music CDs.

What we do have are numerous remixed themes of various superstars by big-time rap names, with a mixed bag result.

Here's the good: Run DMC brings in an excellent remix of the Degeneration X theme, which is probably the strongest selling point on the album. Kane and the Undertaker's themes also get star treatment, with the original elements of the songs not suffering from the addition of the rap. Big Show's theme was always a disappointment, but the remix actually improves it. "No Chance," the remix of the MacMahon family theme, was not bad, and Jericho's new theme is interesting, though I prefer the original.

And, of course, the bad: Wreck? Mankind's theme could have used some touchups, but clearly this was not the way to go. The Rock's theme is boring, though it was not completely without merit. Austin's theme gets the treatment from Snoop Dog, with a song best left for the wolves. Ice-T's version of the Godfather's theme was better live, and had little merit on the disc.

All in all, there are several songs on here that are worth it, even years afterwards. The remixes of the themes for DX, Kane, and Undertaker are by far the best on the album, but may not be enough to pique your interest.

Caveat emptor.

This CD is DA BOMB! I heard the DX theme on RAW IS WAR and I instantly liked it. (although i dont like DX.) The Rock theme was probably my favorite, even though I also liked the Stone Cold, Kane, DX, and Godfather themes. This is definitely the best CD ever produced in this millenium and the last! IF YA SMEEEEEEEEEEEELL... what WWF AGRESSION, iiiiiiiiiis COOKIN'!

This is the tightest CD you can ever buy from the WWF. ALL the songs are so cool, especially DeGeneration X, The Rock's, and Kane's! If you're into the WWF, you HAVE to buy this CD!

Aggression is just what the album namesake states: Your favorite WWF superstar themes set to a hard edge rap lyrical twist.

Many of the songs are very creative and really fun like the DX Theme from RUN DMC, and The Rock's Theme, and most definetly Ice T's version of teh Godfather's Theme. For those artists that spent time learning the wrestling lingo and trademark moves of their respective wrestlers, the songs are ingenious.

However, there are a few odd choices. Though Gangrel's theme is pretty cool, how was that picked over a more popular group like Tool Cool? Also there are a few songs that seem to have really very little to do with the actual wrestler other than a few vague refrences. If you weren't a huge WWF fan, some of these refrences would get lost to you and you wouldn't be able to identify the song to the wrestler.

Overall, it is well done, and is definetly a fast paced album lending itslef to a good workout or a boost of energy if you need it.

If your a WWF fan and you're looking for a music CD,this is the one to get!The people singing the songs,put the characteristics of the wrestlers in the lyrics. Buy it,you'll love it! I am glad to help you with your choice. If you have any questions e-mail me at,bb100@bellsouth.net
