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 Aggressioncollects rap takes on 13 theme songs from the televised extravaganzas that brought mega-fame to the likes ofStone 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 includeMethod Man's "Know Your Role,"Snoop DoggandW.C.'s "Hell Yeah," and "No Chance," which brings togetherRedman,Rock, and turntablistPeanut 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 byKool KeithandODB?--Rickey Wright
