Synopsis

Amazon.com
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

Rap Tunes with WWF Attitude
K-Broni | 03/22/2000
(4 out of 5 stars)

"WWF Aggression reminds me a lot of the "Blade" movie soundtrack. This time around though, rap stars perform songs inspired by WWF Superstars. The best of the bunch is Run DMC's take on DX's theme music. Mankind's song was all right, although with Kool Keith and ODB on the mike, it would've been nifty mixing Mick Foley's other themes/personas (Dude Love & Cactus Jack). Theme #3 is the People's Champion (with Method Man supplying the rhymes). It might not be the most electrifying song on the CD, but it doesn't matter what I think! Snoop Dogg & W.C. throw down on Steve Austin's inspired "Hell Yeah" (get well soon Stone Cold). Mr. Vince McMahon's "No Chance" gets a nice makeover courtesy of Redman, Rock (from Heltah Skeltah) and Peanut Butter Wolf. Song #6 was the surprise of the bunch. C Murder and Magic should submit "I Won't Stop" to the "Blade 2" soundtrack! Tha Eastsidaz rhyme to the rythm of Kane's "Big Red Machine." Y2J's theme is good enough by itself, though RA The Rugged Man does a decent job on the mic. The NAO theme is another selection that's better in it's original format, but for the sake of hip-hop art, Bad Azz (not Billy Gunn) and Techniec kick in the jams. As far as the Godfather's theme, Ice T was the logical choice for Pimpin' Ain't Easy Man. HHH's theme is yet another song that's good enough left alone, then along come Mystikal & Ras Kass to change my opinion. This one's another of my unexpected favorites. Mack 10, K Mac, Boo Kapone & MC Eiht do a decent take on the Big Show's song, and wrapping up this eclectic CD, (Dame Grease Presents) Meeno brings it home with the Undertaker's "Ministry".Overall, keeping the "original" entrance music and "inspired by" selections on separate CD's was a good decision by the WWF. "Aggression" has a better repeat listen potential than WCW's "Mayhem" from a few months ago. If you like pancakes, give it a try and you'll never, eeeeeeeeeeeever regret it again!"
This is by far the best of the WWF records...

"This album should not even be compared with the other WWF records. It is a perfect mix of the best wrestlers, with an all-star team of the hippest names in Rap. Even if you had no interest in the WWF, if you are into rock or hip-hop you will love this record. Every track sounds like it could be a cut from the artists new album, not something that was whipped up to make quick money. As good as it is, i would buy it just for the Run-DMC song."

"the music was great. the "great one" is in this and you give him your money to smell what the rock is cooking. walls of jerhico is an awesome remix and stone cold theme is off the hook. big show was alittle bit of a down fall but the DX theme conter reacts it by Run Dmc tearing up the mic."
