Biography

The rap supergroup Westside Connection came together in late 1996, comprising Ice Cube, Mack 10, and WC (of WC & the Madd Circle). The trio released the single "Bow Down" in September, and it reached number 21 on the singles charts. The subsequent album, also titled Bow Down, hit number two and quickly achieved gold status. Subsequent work, like 1998's The Shadiest One, appeared under WC's name. ~… Read more in Amazon's Westside Connection Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Westsiiiiiiide!, September 24, 1999
By Philip Y. (Israel) - See all my reviews
I got this album right when it came out and I still think what I thought of it then. An incredible album - just pure gangsta rap. Ice Cube and Mack 10 tear it up but I think WC is the one that shines on that album, finally getting the reccognition he deserves for so long. Also awsome production by QDIII and Budda... A classic album also because it's one of the few who really stands up for the West Ccoast, demmanding the respect it deserves! The Crew isn't ashamed to diss the hell out of everybody who pisses them off - whether it's East Coast critics or rival rappers - The Westside Connection will drop bomb on their a** all day long. BOW DOWN!

5.0 out of 5 stars Underrated & Overlooked...Why???, November 13, 2005
this is a very well done record by 3 of Raps most elite personalities. Cube, Dub, & Mack definitely knew what they were doin when they made this record. The beats are amazing on all the tracks. This is one you can listen to straight through and not feel any need to hit the skip button. For me all these songs were hot from the first time i heard them. If you're a fan of the whole West Coast gangsta rap thing, You GOTTA HAVE THIS! My Fav tracks are "All the Critics in New York", "Do you like Criminals", "Gangsta's make the World go Round", "Westward Ho!", & "Hoo Bangin'"...although like i said, all the tracks are badass. peace

5.0 out of 5 stars BOW DOWN, February 13, 2002
By datplaya (The netherlands) - See all my reviews
Westside Connection must be one of the dopest collaborations between gangsta rappers of all timez!!Personally i think this cd is even better then NWAs material although these posses cant really be compared musically.
Ice cube, Mack 10 and WC the shadiest come so incredibly hard on this album, i mean every track sounds equally dope to the "natural born killaz" track Dre and cube released around the same period of time!! You cant find beats that sound more westcoast then these: you got the rough gangsta-type-basslines compared with the high synthesizer beeps, add three rappers on the warpath and you too will bow down to the lyricall greatness of these three felons!
As i said "the gangsta, the killa and the dopedealer" are on the warpath which makes them sound even more angry then they usually do! (can you imagine?) I mean: all three rappers have been given some dominating hard hitting voices. The vendetta against the cypress hill crew got the crew so mad...." B-real and miss Muggs are like hollywood B##tches" if i was b real i would be hiding somewhere quite by now!!
besides their war against the hill-crew ,westside connection is mainly concerned with the east-west struggle which has lost much of its actuality nowadayz. Doesnt matter:the tracks are still bangin the lyrics are still gangstafying and quit frankly it has been a while since i heard ice cube and mack 10 comming as hard as they do here!! I cant forget WC the shadiest though, relatively the most unknown rapper of the three. His style seems 2 complete the lyrics given by cube and mack 10 the chickenhawk.
classic-buy it-nuff said
