Biography

West Coast rap legend from South Central, Los Angeles. Also referred to as "Dub". W.C. is the older brother of Mixtape Legend, [a=Crazy Toones]. W.C. made his debut as a beatboxer, for local groups like [a=The Organization] with [a=The Unknown DJ]. Later got his break in the music industry by [a=Ice-T]. Along with his (then) DJ, [a=DJ Aladdin], the two formed a duo group called [a=Low Profile] and signed a record contract with Priority Records in late 1988. Alongside their label mates, [a=N.W.A.]. W.C. is from the same neighborhood and grew up with [a=Ice Cube]. After the break up of [a=Low Profile], [a=Ice Cube] would later name Dub's new group, [a=WC and the Maad Circle]. The M.A.A.D. Circle consisted of W.C., [a=Crazy Toones], [a=Big Gee], and an unknown rapper from Compton named [a=Coolio]. [a=Coolio] left the group after the first album, to persue a solo career. W.C. then joined forces with [a=Ice Cube] and Inglewood rapper [a=Mack 10] to form [a=Westside Connection]. Unlike his past releases, Dub found commercial success with [a=Westside Connection]. Dub is constantly touring with his brother [a=Crazy Toones] and [a=Ice Cube]. He makes a brief appearance as the gunman in "Friday" movie. He appeared in "The Art of Rap" documentary by [a=Ice-T] and Dub now hosts his own radio show, "Dub's Corner".

LYRICS

(feat. Ice Cube)
Mm, mm, mm
[WC]
Aw Yeah
I'm wit this
It's me, the shadiest one
(Dub, callin' all dubs)

[Ice Cube]
Hot licks, hot licks
Comin' wit them hot licks, hot licks
Hit 'em wit them hot licks, hot licks
Rollin' with them hot licks
Hot licks

[WC]
Haters steppin to me, they wanna get some
But I'ma dub, yo, yo, you know the outcome
Another victory, they can't get wit' me
Smoke from the left so coupe it's all they ever see
I'm on the grind, I got's to get mine, loc
I been puttin' it down since the days of low pro, so
Why's everybody now hatin' on me? (why?)
Could it be I'm runnin' wit the dub SCG
Or is it that I'm countin my riches
Getting' my fingernails cleaned
And being braided by the finest bitches
Whateva the case you need to back up off my Benz
Keep my name out yo mouth and slow down like loose ends
Cuz I wrote for gears, y'all
Came to 'fore I served all y'all
I deserve my R y'all
Dub C, the new leader of the pack
Wit' the brand new sack, and yo, I can't hold back

[Chorus: Ice Cube]

It ain't a problem that I can't fix,
And I can do it wit' yo bitch
So if you lookin' for trouble and you wanna feel muscle
All up against yo brain
It'll weigh those troubles down the drain
I said I'll weigh those troubles down the drain
(Bang, bang dub C!)

[WC]
Not just braggin', snippin', saggin'
Bang when I talk make the whole world c-walk
I wants a little, yeah nigga, no doubt
I put myself in this game, and I'm the only one can take me out
The 4 droppa wit the Jocelyn complexion
Still love the women with tats and C-sections
Protection, got my own bodyguard nigga
Fuck security, sleep wit my finga on the trigga
A street scholar, born into nada go riff-rockin' prada
To rockin' shows in the Dama Fleet collar (hoo hooooo!)
Never thought a rapper can be livin' like this
All I wanted was for real loc's to feel my shit
Paid dues, curb served, for what, connected?
Sometimes feared but I'm never disrespected
Get the cash and mash, drivin' for the meal ticket
Stretch and takin' work, we gon get it, I can't hold back

[Chorus]

Get up, get up, get up, now throw your hood in the air
Let me know you out there
Eastside, Westside, South and up North
If y'all respect mines then I will respect yours
From the crips to bloods to latinos
I'm down with any nigga that's down for makin' c-notes
Illegal, a dozen egos can't lie
I'm addicted to twistin fools for them birds that don't fly
cause real G's chase cheese and shake busters
Cut for one another motherfuckin' color
We quick to bring it, but ain't got time for the drama
I'm all about stackin' dollaz and swangin' Impalas
I got my money to make, niggaz a gank, yea to chase
Keys a takin', bottles of paint, pounds of flip, a bottle of steak
Nigga to drink, pepper the bank, hose the brake, goes the weight
Foez the cane, but it's over, finish this game, what's my name?

[scratching]
I'm, I'm, I'm a dub to the C
I'ma dub to the C
I'ma dub to the C
I'ma dub to the C

[Chorus]
Bang bang
Hoo Hoooo!
