1) William L. Calhoun, Jr. (born in 1970), better known by his stage name WC pronounced "Dub-C" and not "Double-U-C", is an American West Coast rapper. He was born in Texas, but moved to Los Angeles at an early age.
Known for his long braided goatee, lyricism, and Crip walking, WC has been a staple in West Coast gangsta rap since the early 1990s. He also is a known Crips member from 111 Neighborhood crip gang a California based gang.
WC began his career with underground rap groups such as Low Profile and WC and the Maad Circle. His 1998 solo debut The Shadiest One landed in the Top 20, featuring such singles as "Cheddar", "Just Clownin'" and "Better Days". The Ghetto Heisman followed in 2002 and featured the song "The Streets", which also landed in the Top 20.
2) WC (Wyidealizowana CiemnoΕΔ) is a punk band from Poland formed in 1981 in Miastko.
3) WC was a Swedish punk band. It was formed in 1979 by guitar player Niklas Andersson and bass player Tommy Eger. After a turbulent and somewhat unserious start, the band got itβs first gig in autumn 1980 as a trio with JΓΆrgen BrΓΆms on drums and vocals. The group became a quartet in spring 1981, when they picked up Perry Ingman for a drummer and JΓΆrgen moved over to guitar. With this lineup they won a rock band competition in autumn β82 in which the price was to record a single. The single was recorded the days before new years eve the same year in Pop Studio in Eskilstuna. A-side was βPolis, polisβ (Police, police) and B-side was βPappershjΓ€ltarβ (Paper heroes). The record was sold in a somewhat different way. A concert was organized where the audience, for only 20 SEK (~$2), got both the single and the concert with three bands. When JΓΆrgen in early 1984 decided to leave his home town the band decided to play a farewell concert in Eskilstuna Folkets hus. JΓΆrgen was replaced with Tony Andersson, previously singer in the band Kontaktlim, but shortly thereafter the band split up anyway.
The former members kept playing together in different constellations. Perry and Tony played in, among others, Pussy Galore and GASTONES (president gas), and Tommy and JΓΆrgen (who moved back to Eskilstuna in 1986) played together, for a short while, as Alla presidentens mΓ€n.
WC was reunited in 1999, with all former members except Niklas. Among other things hey played at Pipaluckbolagetβs gala in Eskilstuna, and also rerecorded 12 old WC songs. The recordings were supposed to be released on Rosa Honung Records, but they never were and WC went under once again.

4) WC was born in New York City during 2003. The band chooses the controversial name βWCβ in an effort to contradict the glamorous and fashionable situation flooding the world of modern music.
On July 2007 Sterling Sound in New York chooses WCβs βAshesβ to be featured on βSterling Soundβs emerging artists playerβ an honour that places WC among the best newcoming bands worldwide.
Their debut album βWCβ is released by Legend Records on December 10, 2007 throughout Greece and Cyprus.
The initial line up (2003) consisted of Wastor (Vocals, Guitars, El.Violin), Amanita (Drums, Vocals) and bassist Kevin Hummel. During the following 2 years they colaborated with various bands and performed in various clubs around the NYC area including CBGBs and the Barracuda. The bandβs sound during that time was heavily inspired by the nu-metal and industrial-metal scene. They recorded a four song promo CD that included βMr. Pinkβ a song that attracted the interest of Daniel Glass of Artemis Records, one of the largest independent labels in NYC.
2005 finds Wastor and Amanita returning to Athens Greece, while they begin recordings for their first album in the Greek language. The bandβs sound evolves towards a darker Gothic sound and they release the song βOu Foneyseisβ (βThou shall not Killβ) featuring Georgia Kefala (Mple) on vocals, and their first video clip βA.M.Y.Mβ directed by Constantine .
WCβs aggressive sound along with their heavily inspired by gothic imagery stage image, attracted the interest of L. Mahairitsas (a Greek platinum selling singer). The result of WCβs collaboration with L.Mahairitsas was the song βFalainaβ, released by Minos-EMI Greece, and presented live in Thessaloniki, on a show aired on βNETβ (National Greek Television) that watched more than half a million people.
In February 2006, WC return to their initial trio form, with the addition of Johnny Ray on el. bass, a position that later will be taken by Manos βElfmanβ
WCβs debut album βWCβ released Dec 20, 2007 and is a βbi-lingualβ album having versions of their songs both in Greek and in English. Within 2 weeks WC hit the Greek charts while the media praises its release in their critics. Their video clip for βOu Foneyseisβ will be nominated for best video of the year 2008 (category: alternative) by MAD TV (Greeceβs biggest music video TV network).
5) WC, an Israeli alternative rock duo, consists of the brothers Aryeh and Avshalom Hasafri, who write poignant political texts and create dance music that is not necessarily intended for performances in clubs. The brothers' joint work began in the living room of their house in Florentine, Tel Aviv and continued through leading festivals in Israel and street protests in Balfour, Jerusalem.

WC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Strolling with a limp
Sagging hard
Mainly done by L.A street niggas
Bellin
Is not just a casual stroll
But a way of life
First you take the rag
Crease it
Place it in your back pocket
And bell
But remember
For all you square ass niggas
Rips to the left
Doggs to the right
Not for niggas in tight ass jeans and penny loafers
But highly recommended for nigaas sporting
Khakis, house shoes and locs
[Kokane]
Oh my God

And shut the fuck up and make way for these fellas

The song "Bellin" by WC featuring Kokane highlights the culture of a lifestyle that is predominantly adopted by LA street niggas. The song portrays this lifestyle as involving strolling with a limp and sagging hard. This is not just a casual stroll, but a way of life and a movement. The song provides insight into the intricacies of the culture, starting with taking a rag, creasing it, placing it in the back pocket, and then bell ringing. The song goes on to emphasize that this culture is not for everyone, only for niggas sporting khakis, house shoes, and locs.
The chorus focuses on the message of the song, emphasizing the culture of the lifestyle more than the lyrics. The verses, on the other hand, provide more context into the gangster culture, detailing acts of violence, and emphasizing the street credibility of the gangster. The song appeals to individuals who identify with the street culture and recognize bell ringing as a form of self-expression.
Some interesting facts about the song "Bellin" include WC being among the original members of the 1980s Compton-based reputed street gang, the Crips. Additionally, WC has multiple tattoos representing Crip culture. "Bellin" was also co-produced by veteran west coast producer DJ Crazy Toones. The song was initially released in 1998 as part of WC's second solo album "The Shadiest One" and was later included in "Best of C-Walk" album that featured the best classic and new Crip Walk tracks. The song appeared in the gangster flick "The Wash," where WC also starred alongside Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg.
The song's chord progression features a basic 4-chord pattern, including Bm, A, G, and F#m. The chords are in the B natural minor scale, which is a common scale in hip hop music.
Chords
Bm - x24432
A - x02220
G - 320033
