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 Ciemność) 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 it’s first gig in autumn 1980 as a trio with Jörgen Bröms on drums and vocals. The group became a quartet in spring 1981, when they picked up Perry Ingman for a drummer and Jörgen moved over to guitar. With this lineup they won a rock band competition in autumn ‘82 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 “Polis, polis” (Police, police) and B-side was “Pappershjältar” (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 Jörgen in early 1984 decided to leave his home town the band decided to play a farewell concert in Eskilstuna Folkets hus. Jörgen 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 Jörgen (who moved back to Eskilstuna in 1986) played together, for a short while, as Alla presidentens män.
WC was reunited in 1999, with all former members except Niklas. Among other things hey played at Pipaluckbolaget’s 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 “WC” 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 WC’s “Ashes” to be featured on “Sterling Sound’s emerging artists player” an honour that places WC among the best newcoming bands worldwide.
Their debut album “WC” 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 band’s sound during that time was heavily inspired by the nu-metal and industrial-metal scene. They recorded a four song promo CD that included “Mr. Pink” 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 band’s sound evolves towards a darker Gothic sound and they release the song “Ou Foneyseis” (“Thou shall not Kill”) featuring Georgia Kefala (Mple) on vocals, and their first video clip “A.M.Y.M” directed by Constantine .
WC’s 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 WC’s collaboration with L.Mahairitsas was the song “Falaina”, released by Minos-EMI Greece, and presented live in Thessaloniki, on a show aired on “NET” (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 “Elfman”
WC’s debut album “WC” released Dec 20, 2007 and is a “bi-lingual” 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 “Ou Foneyseis” will be nominated for best video of the year 2008 (category: alternative) by MAD TV (Greece’s 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.

The song "Wanna Ride" by WC feat. Ice Cube & MC Ren is a classic gangsta rap track that exudes a hard-hitting, rough-edged energy, characteristic of the genre. Its lyrics describe the rough and tumble, illicit lifestyle of gangsters, with a focus on riding and slanging drugs. The use of profanity, slang, and street talk makes the song authentically gangsta rap.
The first verse of the song focuses on keeping it real and maintaining the gangsta image. Lines such as "My niggas thug out," and "When we smoke out," allude to the gangster lifestyle. The chorus expresses the desire to slay, bang, ride and slang from the side, declaring that it is do or die. The second verse is more explosive with references to firearms, sex, and drug-dealing. The use of gritty language and aggressive rhymes creates an intense atmosphere within the song.

Look at this shit
Observe and pay attention to this situation
Coming together like sweaty ass cheeks, nigga
Uniting and merging closely like the way butt cheeks stick together when sweaty
Keep it gangsta y'all
Maintain a tough, authentic and street-smart attitude, everyone
Please believe it
Have complete faith and trust in it
My niggas thug out
My friends fully embrace the gangster lifestyle
You getting drug out
You will be forcefully removed or defeated
These bitches loc out
These women become aggressive and wild
When we smoke out
When we consume marijuana
Cause we chromed out
Because our vehicles are adorned with shiny and reflective chrome accessories
I bought the bomb out
I brought high-quality and potent drugs
Hear ye, hear ye!
Pay attention, listen up!
Call me...... hogs
Refer to me as the dominant and powerful figure
Fresh out of the hole tank
Just released from prison or a difficult situation
Bouncing off the walls
Filled with energy and excitement, unable to contain oneself
Dub-see, the Bandanna president
I, Dub-see, am the leader of the gang, recognized by my bandanna
With the gauge on the handlebars
I possess a firearm attached to my motorcycle's handlebars
Rolling through your residence
Moving through your neighborhood or area
Running the scene. It's the king of the cars
Dominating the environment with my presence and control, particularly with my impressive cars
Down, baby in my new all stars
Feeling confident and cool while wearing my new Converse shoes
Gangsta's What are the gangstas
Who are the real gangsters
None of them make me
None of the other individuals impress or intimidate me
Riders throw your heaters up
Motorcycle riders raise your weapons
Ladies, Old Gs
Women and experienced gangsters
Sorry that I've been gone
Apologies for my absence and lack of presence
But now I'm back to get my walk on
I have returned to assert my authority and dominance
Swang with the gang as I reach out and touch yeah
Move and interact with the group, making contact with others
Throw my cup and get ignorant out this motherfucker
Throw my drink and behave recklessly in this place
Mayday, mayday back in charge
Signalling an emergency and taking control once again
Cutting all costs. Cutting all costs
Reducing expenses and eliminating unnecessary expenses
Dip. Skip-skipping through the lane with the bang, bang, bang jingle
Smoothly maneuvering through the traffic lane while causing a commotion
Hopping under the SS. Working them ankles
Getting onto the Chevy SS vehicle and showing off driving skills
Dubs shiesty for scrillias
Driving and showcasing expensive Dub brand rims for money
And I brought my homeboy
I have brought my close friend along
Hell yeah, the mother fucking villain
Indeed, I am the notorious and feared villain
One to the two to the three to the - hello
Counting and greeting, establishing my presence
Look at these Gs working these...
Observe these gangsters effectively managing their situations
Here come the villain with another heater
The villainous character arrives with another hot and powerful weapon
With mother fucking, Dub, nigga in a two seater
With the notorious Dub brand rims, alongside a friend, in a two-seater vehicle
Hold my nuts while I west, west y'all
Support and admire me while I impress and conquer, everyone
Ride 2
Continuation of the energy and dominance established in the previous verse
Grab that microphone and I test, test y'all
Take control of the microphone and assess the skills and abilities of others
Villain Mericone I be like all over y'all
As the villain, I am completely overwhelming and overpowering to all of you
Who want to ball with that black nigga Red?
Who is brave enough to challenge and compete against the notorious Black Red?
Like the dime nigga
Similar to the ideal and perfect individual
I'm supreme hustling
I excel and dominate in the art of making money through illegal means
W.C.
Referring to myself as a representation of the West Coast gangster culture
Give a fuck if these bitches don't love me
I do not care or worry about these women not having affection for me
(Chorus)
The repeated chorus section of the song
Please believe it
Have complete faith and trust in it
