About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

As his first solo release since Westside Connection's hit effort, The Shadiest One was positioned as WC's breakthrough to the major league of rap superstars. The hardcore edge that dominated his earlier releases with the Maad Circle has been tamed somewhat, so he can reach a wider audience. Of course, he still retains his gangsta image, relying on familiar lyrical and musical trappings, but everything's a bit more subdued than before, with mixed results. In the case of "Keep Hustlin'," the slight pop makeover works well, but other times it falls flat. And, like any of WC's albums, The Shadiest One runs too long. On several songs, the music simply meanders without any hooks to bring it back into focus. But that isn't a fatal flaw, especially since it's a familiar one, and the best moments on the record are as good as anything he's ever recorded, making The Shadiest One another solid entry in his catalog.

July 30, 2001: W.C'S ''THE SHADIEST ONE'' IS THE GROUNDBREAKING ALBUM OF THE END OF THE 90'S. PURE WEST COAST FUNK BOUNCES ALL OVER THIS ALBUM. DON'T MATTER WHAT YOU HATERS FROM THE EAST COAST SAY. THIS ALBUM IS A BREAK FROM ALL THAT JAY Z, JA RULE, AND NAS STUFF. I'D HAVE TO ADMIT THIS ALBUM FROM W.C IS ALSO A BREAK FROM ALL THAT SNOOP DOGG JAZZ LATELY. BOUNCY TRACKS= 1.HOG, 4.THE SHADIEST ONE, AND CHECK OUT THE SONG ''BETTER DAYS'' WHICH IS A SLOW HARMONIC SONG THAT YOU'D EXPECT 2PAC TO DO. HEY IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THE WORLD LIKES, IT MATTERS WHAT YOU AS THE LISTENER FEEL GOOD LISTENING TO. SO FORGET ABOUT WHAT THE SOURCE OR VIBE WRITES. FORGET ABOUT WHAT ALL THOSE NEW YORK CRITICS SAY, AND FORGET ABOUT WHATS ON THE TOP TEN. ITS UP TO YOU TO DETERMINE WHATS GOOD TO YOUR EAR. SO GET OUT THERE AND TRY THIS ALBUM OUT. HONESTLY IF YOUR INTO THAT FUNKDAFIED BOUNCE, YOU WON'T BE DISSAPOINTED IN THIS ALBUM. W.C'S ''THE SHADIEST ONE'' IS EVEN SHADIER THAN SLIM SHADY HIMSELF. GO OUT AND TRY THIS ALBUM AND OTHER ALBUMS. AND MAYBE YOU'LL LEARN TO LOVE THIS SUNNY SUNNY CALIFORNI-AAAAAAAA SUNSHINE.
