Biography

After a long hiatus the group released their second album "Terrorist Threats" in 2003 hallmarked by the lead single "Gangsta Nation" featuring Nate Dogg.

In 2005 Mack 10 left the group due to a conflict between him and WC. [cite web|url=http://allhiphop.com/blogs/features/archive/2005/11/10/18133369.aspx|title=Mack 10 interview|publisher=AllHipHop.com|date=November 10, 2005|accessdate=2007-10-23]

In 2008, rumors have been circulating that The Game may join the rap group. This gossip stemmed from his verse on Ice Cube's track with WC called "Get Used To It" where Game proclaims he may join the Lench Mob (implying the Westside Connection). While Game has denied his membership, recently Cube gave some credence to the idea in an interview. When asked about The Game joining, he nodded and said "maybe".
