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

WWF Aggression Reviews
It caome with in 2 days it was in great shape.It worked well with my cd player and pc.

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.
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.
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.
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
Buyit if you like Wrestling and rap mixed togetehr
And that's all I have to say about that.
