WC is that rare artist with 8 or more albums with NO wack projects. Obviously not all of his albums are classic, but there isn't one WC project that any of you can say is trash. Not one. I loved his album with Daz. That is in my top 5 of his releases. Along with WC, you have Pharaoh Monche and Edo G that have never had a trash release. Not even Jay or Nas can make that claim.

Also, I'm not from the west coast and I've never lived there, so my I wonder was he ever promoted heavily on the west? Because here on the East, I rarely ever saw him promoted outside of Rap City videos in the 90s and his Westside Connection albums. His albums just never got the promotion out here and that's criminal. To my west coast brothers, was it different out there?

Yeah, bruh we played his music up here in the Bay and LA. My potna had his Low Profile tape. I dubbed it after he put me on dude. I bought that Ain't A Damn Thing Changed tape when it 1st dropped in 91'.

The singles would get play on BET and MTV but you didnt hear much of it on the radio. It wasnt until Curb Servin/West Up, when he got play all throughout Cali and beyond. Video and radio.

The ese's out here always showed dude love. Him and Cuble still do shows and have heavy support at the car/ low rider shows every year.

Yeah, I know of Low Profile. I'm in my mid 40s. I've followed hip hop from all over the United States for decades through Rap City and Yo. I'm happy to hear that he got love out West though.
