Album Notes Cassette available on Def Jam (063 223).NOTES:Personnel includes: Snoop Dogg, Scarface, Ice Cube, Nate Dogg, MC Ren, Case.Producers include: Buck Wild, Brian Wilson, Scott Storch, Rick Rock, Battlecat.Miffed at being denied his props by his contemporaries despite what, for a rapper, is a long career spanning most of the '90s (including a stint with Ice Cube and Mack 10), WC has here awarded himself a Heisman Memorial Trophy (usually awarded to football stars, most notoriously to O.J. Simpson) for achievements in rap. The fact that he's seen fit to award this trophy to himself shouldn't blind you to WC's qualities as a rapper--which are self-evident--it's just that recognition can sometimes be a long time coming. GHETTO HEISMAN is West Coast rap, lighter and more musically sophisticated than its Southern counterpart, though no less concerned with matters street, thuggy and druggy. WC's old Westside Connection bandmates Ice Cube and Mack 10 make an appearance on the Funkadelic-influenced "Walk," while there's a hilarious skit ("Fake N***as") in the style of a gospel meeting, and "Tears of a Killa" shows the hard-scrabble flip side of thug life in the 'hood. GHETTO HEISMAN should, all things being equal, earn WC the genuine respect of both peers and public. | |||||||||||
Reviews Review created: 09/08/08 by: Despite my cheesy review title, the tracks on this West Coast CD are far from corny. Accompanied by some west coast greats in The Game, Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg and Ice Cube and some lesser known artists it makes for a great buy. Plus, as we've all come to expect from West Coast artists, there are some outstanding lyrics that go hand in hand with great beats, such as on the songs 'The Streets' and 'Wanna Ride'. All in all a CD worth having in your collection! Review ID: 10000000008282600 Was this review helpful?
