Various Artists - WWF Aggression

All that's missing from this World Wrestling Foundation-sanctioned compilation is a version of Limp Bizkit's "Break Stuff." A shrewd marketing move and sometimes even good music, WWF Aggression collects rap takes on 13 theme songs from the televised extravaganzas that brought mega-fame to the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin, Mankind, and even biz honcho Vince McMahon. The tone here is mostly curse-free rap with gangsta and occasional rock overtones. Highlights include Method Man's "Know Your Role," Snoop Dogg and W.C.'s "Hell Yeah," and "No Chance," which brings together Redman, Rock, and turntablist Peanut Butter Wolf. Special mention must be made of "Wreck," which partakes less of the cartoon macho that makes these artists fine matches for their subjects than it does of just plain weirdness. But what else would you expect of a space-odyssey tale recited by Kool Keith and ODB? --Rickey Wright Amazon.com

musical preference will make or break this album

[...]
And as far as a hip-hop album, this is a very good one.

The likes of R.A. the Rugged Man show up, alongside W.C., Kool Keith, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Peanut Butter Wolf, Method Man, Mack 10, and more. There's an impressive line-up of talent here. When I first got an idea of the names appearing on this album, I was confused as hell, thinking "WWF what?" I don't know anything about WWF, I saw the Rock in that movie where he fought the philipino kid in the jungle, that's about it. But I give an exemplary recommendation to this album, directed strongly at fans of hip-hop.

Notable favorites were "Wreck" with some strange and oddly poetic lyricism, two welcome verses from W.C. on "Hell Yeah," and a surprise show from Peanut Butter Wolf with "No Chance." I love Rugged Man, but wasn't particularly impressed by his track this time around.

If you're familiar with some of the names I've dropped here, I cannot say good enough things about this album. If directed here through interest in WWF, just be cautious and like rap if you want to buy this. July 31, 2007

Phat even today

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. September 3, 2005

Surprisingly Good

This cd really suprised me and WWE surprised me by the amount of talent they brought in to work on this, instead of just a bunch of low card no-namers just lookin for a break. This is actually a good cd for anyone who loves wrestling or even if u hate wrestling but are a rap fan. My applause to every artist who worked on this album and to WWE for actually trying.

WWF AGGRESION

This is a tight cd with many talented rappers on it like Run DMC, Kool Keith, Bad Azz, Ras Kass, MC Eiht, Redman,WC, Snoop Dogg and a load of others, they do rap versions of the WWF themes like D-generation X, Mankind, Kane, Stone Cold, Big Show, Godfather and others. Some of my favorites are "Pimpin aint easy" by Ice-T (Godfather's Theme), "No Chance" by Peanut Butter Wolf, Redman and Rock of Heltah Skeltah (Vince McMahon Theme) Stone Cold's is done by WC & Snoop, DX is done by Run DMC which is tight. Mankind's is done by the ol' dirty bastard and Kool Keith, Kane's is done by The Eastsiderz, New Age Outlaws is doneby RA the Rugged Man, Gangrel's is by C-Murder, Big Show's is by Boo Kapone and MC Eiht.

Overall this is tight 4.5/5

And that's all I have to say about that. February 5, 2005

The Greatest Album

This was one of the best albums I have ever heard in my entire life. It reminds me of Rossler, Mike, Joey, all calling for me outside my window and saying AAACEEEE can you come outside and play Playstation one or come outside and play scream. and it was during the times when mike (listen to this this is a shock) actually liked rap. and Mike no im not talking about bogus' Notorious BIG album "Life After Death" i am not talking about that. i am talking about something else. remember when you said you liked DMX and Eminem. remember that mike. remember when you said girls are icky. dont lie to me because even rossler said girls are nasty. he said he hates them. but now both of you are hypocrites. WHY!!?? and joey used to call you Frank, Franks. but now they dont even call you Frank no more. WHY?? mike im still gonna call you frank because you are fat and you need to be taught a lesson about surviving. you really need to survive and you dont even like your xbox anymore. you used to come over and play super nintendo and you said its cool and you used to play that basketball game with me but now you turned into a monster. o yea and rossler used to like resident evil and used to be the king at that. but now he transformed into a monster as well and i was trying to convince joey to wear his albanian shirt and his Chicago Bulls 23 Jordan jersey but he doesnt even wanna wear it no more. WHY!!!!??? mike im trying to help you the world is coming to an end if you dont follow me. mike if you think about it i used to have lots of power over everyone. remember when i created the first colt. remember J.A.K.?? remember how i was able to let matt, rossler, you, joey, johnathan get into my group and rebel against one person and fight. it reminds me of that song that eminem song "Mosh" because in his lyrics he says "Come along,follow me,as I lead through the darkness As I provide just enough spark that we need to proceed Carry on,give me hope,give me strength Come with me,and I wont steer you wrong Put your faith in your trust, as I guide us through the fog To the light at the end of the tunnel we gon' fight
We gon' charge, we gon' stomp
We gon' march through the swamp
We gon' mosh through the marsh
Take us right through the doors" NOW IMAGINE us all in SOG or JAK and singing this and saying we gon charge we gon stomp and me saying carry on give me hope give me strenght. but now look at what you guys have done to the world and done to me. before i had alot of power to bring you guys together and attack everything that destroyed us. but now nobody is gonna listen to me anymore because i have been impeached and i was out of power. but now look at the results of everything that has happend so far. Matt used to be a good guy and really nice to hang out with, he also followed me as a SOLDIER and as a Warrior when he was in JAK, but now all that Weed infected his brain and he refused to stop when i told him to stop. if i had kept going with him id probably ended up a smoker and i hate cigarettes i never wanna be a smoker EVER because people who smoke think there cool. and rossler changed because he drinks and i told him to stop drinking and now i have no control over him no more i used to tell him do this and do that and i remember back then in 2001 i told him "Follow me and i lead through the darkness as i provide just enough spark carry on give me hope give me strenght come with me and i wont steer you wrong" but now i have no control over him, before i did back then when he was only 13 years old and i was like 15. but now i have no control cuz hes 17 and im 18. Dont worry when i turn 21 or 24 ill get my power back. Fat Frank Mike has obviosly changed because he hates PS2, he broke up with his Xbox for someone else, he doesnt listen to me no more, He B ridin on the West Coast, he keeps hanging up on me, he hates Rap Music, and no one calls him frank no more. i mean your brother doesnt listen to rap no more because he listens to gangsta rap and it doesnt exist no more. i remember telling him do you listen to crunk music, and he told me, "Hell Nah Playa, crunk music it aint gangsta" and your brother went mainstream because he got a nextel. so everyone HEAR MY WORDS NAS IS COMING, ACE IS COMING.......It Was Written, and dont forget to get Fluffyville's new album, "Villmatic", and Angabear's new album, "Ace's son" November 16, 2004
