    the Low Profile gets a fair bit of love these days, but it wasnt always like that (here anyway). It must be down to business savy, after all heaps of other people he has worked with have gone on to have huge careers, and for my money he is/was better than all of them in all aspects of the rap singing game.

    Does he predate Snoop with the singing lyrics steez?

    Mixmaster Spade was the first to use the rap/sing style on the west coast.....Rodney O was next.....I'm pretty sure WC picked up the style after Snoop and Domino made it popular.

    WC is a west coast legend.... He's probably never got the credit he deserves as an MC because most younger fans were introduced to him through the whole C-Walk craze.

    i always considred WC as the west coast G-rap as far as killer flow and early classics but not getting the recognition he deserved

    Classic West Coast MC - OG veteran - Mad Circle was Great, Low profile too.
    He was also a part of West Side Connection with Cube and Mack 10.



    He did see mainstream succes eventually with all the exposure he got in the end doing his crip walk on stage during the Up In Smoke tour- just stayed a little on the underground side of things as an mc.

    I guess you'd place him somewhere above kokane and below Del the Funky Homo sapien on the West Coast MC Recognition Meter, somewhere near Mc Breeze. Getting in so early with Low Pro gave him a lot of edge, not a lot of mainstream succes.
    However, :real_headz:

    I've been vocal for my love of WC on here before and suspect I am pretty much the only person who rides for Guilty By Affiliation. Having said that, while most of his new album is forgettable, I love this on some throwback shit:

    I'm with you, that was my favorite rapp album of the year when it came out. That 3rd verse on "Keep It 100" is one his all-time best.

    And I always felt he was channeling E-40 with his verse here:

    Ah I stand corrected Scott, was too busy being dazzled by the Rick Rock beats to consider it at the time but it's kept on cropping up in the albums I'd return to far longer than I expected. Four years ago already though, damn. You heard his new one yet? Not grabbing me at the moment but will give it a bit of time as it's WC....
