Ren killed it on IF IT AIN'T RUFF, without saying 1 cuss word.
He's the best he's mad nice
Without a fact... not one cuss word!!!
Yup and quiet on the set was another clean one
Totally agree dope mc 👌
Facts!!!👏👏👏
Thank y’all for giving Ren his props!!!!
Mc Ren wrote just like DOC and Cube...Ren had bars for real
THANK YOU
Ren wrote the majority of Eazy Duz It album. Cube only wrote 2 songs on that album,
Speak On It
MC Ren's Kizz My Black Azz album was 🔥
@@dianevrulesand the second NWA album Ren wrote for Eazy. Eazy does it is one of my favorite albums of all time
MC Ren was always my favorite rapper in NWA. 🔥 🎶 🎙
This right here.
When it comes to Ren, it's a generational question. If you're from that era then you know what Ren is capable of. No one should question Ren's ability. Ren is an emcee. Listen to his verse on Parental Discretion is Advised. That's a top-tier verse next to DOC's and Cubes's verse. Ren is a monster.
absolutely agree bro Ren was a mf. Also i agree with Eiht. Never looked as Cube being higher then Ren especially back then
@@jasontaylor2237💯💯💯
Especially the intro to niggaz4life
Always liked MC REN from day one
Well stated. The younger generation really don't understand how good Ren really was. They think it was Ice Cube, and they're just now finding out about the D.O.C. But Ren was really the ill one who was more like a gangster battle rapper.
Kizzy My Black Azz EP forgotten Classics and unappreciated albums for both West Coast and Hip Hop. Without a doubt Ren deserves his flowers, case close.
Yes it went hard
Fax
That intro was hard af
Ren Ren Ren
*MC Ren is my personal favorite out the group. However, if we rated them by influence and catalogue, Ice Cube has the vast resume.*
Ren is dope with the pen. I think it’s because Ice Cube and Dr. Dre we’re both so successful afterwards that he doesn’t get the respect that he deserves. In all fairness anyone else in his position wouldn’t have been able to even do as good as he did. The fact that ice cube and Dr. Dre were able to succeed over and over again after pitfalls is why we remember them. But if you take away owning and running your own label, acting, and other business ventures, just as an MC, Ren is dope af.
Gtfho ice cube is better than youe mc ren ice went solo and won lol
Ren is was so underrated. Listen to The Grand Finale Ren held his own with everybody in their Prime on that Record.
They all snapped on that one!
@@WEGOTODOBETTER4 Absolutely
CLASSIC
Rens pen game was underrated and under appreciated. I don't feel NWA missed a beat lyrics wise when Cube left.
Amen.
Their last record was trash
@@chrisjackson8299NFL?:Niggaz 4 life? You lost your brain
@@chrisjackson8299Are you talking about niggaz4life?
@@chrisjackson8299give me some of what you’re smoking
Yes, really wished Ren and Willie D could’ve done some work together, both were super underrated for both their respective groups.
That's a horrible collaboration
@@OJ1974 You have no idea what you’re speaking on, but carry on
@@OJ1974😂😂😂😂
@@OJ1974😂😂😂😂😂 naw Willie D doe SMH
Willie D with ANYBODY is a horrible collaboration
Ren was the hardest out of NWA he don’t get the recognition he deserves!!
Hell Yeahhhh. Ren 4 Life!!!
Ren is dope he has a cold delivery.can you imagine! If Ren and cube did a album together in there prime
They did it was called Straight Outta Compton
McRen held it down when Cube left the group and we all know that Cube had the voice that kinda made you pay attention to every word but McRen was just as important
Thank you for mentioning Above The Law, the real G-Funk pioneers. If you don't know then go listen to their albums💯
Ren was on the same level as Cube. I just vibe with Cube's style more. It's one of those subjective situations. I never really compared them to each other before. I just look at 'em all as 1 when they together.
MC Ren didn't have radio friendly singles compared to Dr Dre and Ice Cube but he was still selling well
Ren was my fav... I liked the way his rap voice sounded
One of the best voices ..Early 2 pac you could hear the Ren influence
@@greghunt2506🧢 Pac was rapping like Kane and G Rapp on 2pacolypse now and Strictly album..
Hell Yeah! MC Ren is just as nice, if not better than Ice Cube.
To Digital Soapbox Network, please please please have MC Ren on the show. We definitely need an MC Eiht + MC Ren album.
You do fentanyl
Ren just never had solo success like Cube. His EP was alright but not near the quality that Cube did on his own. Cube had one of the best 5 album runs of any rapper in history.
MC Ren is the most overlooked rapper in NWA. He was super tight as a lyricist. DOC, Cube and Ren had to compete to get their lyrics in a song. Ren seemed like a low key guy and he barely does interviews. He was like the silent ruthless gangster. That’s why he didn’t get the notoriety as the others. Of course that’s just my opinion.
I'm sorry Ren was wack af!! No lyrics whatsoever just a lot of cussing no substance!! I'm sorry I missed ren's great lyrics outside of same ol shit!!!
I agree with your opinion!
"If it ain't ruff"🔥
Mann Ren was a beast, he don't get that shine like DOC.
mc ren is waay 2 underrated for me. that man is a top tier rapper, my word he can spit. he's talented as fuck.
"SAME OLE' SHIT" BY MC REN GOES HARD!!!
Ren definitely was my favorite in NWA
Mc Ren was crazy on Always into something!
Ren is slept on HEAVY! He can't be fucked with!
Who u think carried that Elif4Zaggin album🤨 MC Ren was BEASTY!!! Kizz My Black Azz ep was crazy!!!
PERFECT CALLS ON MC REN !!!!!! HE IS NWA
MC Ren was so under-rated and still is
MC REN WAS A DOPE LYRICIST GREAT STORYTELLER
MC Ren is #1 on the most underrated emcee of all time.
I have Heavy D, then Mc Ren.
Everyone knows Ren was the best. The streets knew from the 1st album. Ren has a voice.
Was Mc Ren just as nice as Ice Cube? Yes. Like Dj Yella said in an interview, Ren's voice is STRONG. When y'all got to talking about how Cold 187um created the G funk Theory & Black Mafia Life Album, i thought yall were going to mention his feature on Process of Elimination from that Album; he would've been the perfect addition to them after nwa ended. Ren was just as nice for sure and can get more intricate and real wether he wrote and told a story or spoke one's reality. That's why I love his Kizz My Black Azz Album so much.
Ren is so underrated he got voice like cool azz Uncle always felt like he had more 2 say still got bars he should b in Mt Westmore🎙️🎙️🎙️Villain n black🥷🏽
Brothers 4 Life much respect 💪🏾
MC Ren deserves his own movie!!!
If it ain't ruff it ain't me...was the tip of the iceberg for Ren's ability to rhyme
I’m a 49 year old hip hop fan from Philly and grew up listening to NWA back in the late 80s early 90s, til this day with no disrespect to Cube or any other member of NWA, I advocate for Ren being clearly the best in the group. I understand it’s all about styles and of course popularity plays a major role in this but when you talk about flow, delivery, voice, cadence, lyrics…Ren set the tone for me. I’m looking to do a segment soon with my good friend Sway Calloway about Ren being so under appreciated. Next to Rakim he’s my favorite MC of all time…I think he was that gifted and underrated. Salute for this segment 🫡
I’ve always been advocating for Ren getting his just due. I don’t care what nobody says, Ren was just as nice as Cube point blank. If you want to be technical, Ren wrote majority of Eazy Duz It album. Cube wrote No more questions and D.O.C wrote Still Talking and We Want Eazy, that’s it. Ren wrote everything else on that album.
Agreed. But Ren dropped an E.P. album in 2022 called "Osiris"...its hella dope, but there was NO promotion behind it and it was only available digitally, no physical CD. Tha Chill produced some tracks on that album. Album was just as dope as anything he ever put out. No promotion or advertising is where they went wrong. My opinion only of course.
I concur with what you’re saying. Even during his last days at Ruthless, Tomika really wasn’t trying to promote Ren and his projects. Nevertheless, he needs the recognition and respect like he deserves. He was definitely an integral part of NWA
Well, Cube wrote "Boyz N Tha Hood" as well, but Cube I believe was away at a trade school
Ren was a perfect compliment to Cube. He had a authorative voice like Chuck D's. Still in my top 10 of all time.
Yep Ren had the I'm in command type voice.
Ren wrote the Most songs on Easy Duz it
It's about time Mc Ren got his credit . I been saying yhat for 35 years. Long live the villain
Ren always been my favorite. Very slept on mc
Ren's flow is just as nice and he got that baritone voice but as far as being better No! Cube is to versatile!
,
I think there's some parallels between the careers of M.C. Ren of N.W.A. and Inspectah Deck from Wu-Tang Clan. Both emcees had many stand out verses on group albums, but couldn't translate their talent into making a universally acclaimed "Classic" solo album like some of a number of their bandmates did. Also personality wise they are more low key, grounded, and humble; so many major labels probably felt it was more difficult to market them as a star because they carried themselves like normal dudes.
Well what happened to deck was just unfortunate. His debut album got lost in RZa basement flood. The world could have heard what could have been a masterpiece if it wasn’t for that damn flood.
Ren voice alone made you listen...it was no mistake he had your attention
Think Mc Ren is definitely underrated as a writer.
Yes he was without question. Cube had great solos so people always single him out as if he carried NWA which is far from a fact
Shock Of The Hour is my favorite album from MC Ren
MC REN was hella dope!
Cube Catalog speaks for itself, Ren dope, got a Dope Voice, but I put him in a different #weight class from Cube, Cube a West Coast Heavyweight!
The First 4 of Mc Ren's Albums are the straight up Dopest Albums in the history of hip hop 💯
Lil Nation gets slept on. Before he was Boss Hogg, his run as Lil Nation on To Hell and Black proved his lyrical genius.
Lil Nation, The DOC and Rakim were my favorite MCs back then.
We can thank REN for that!
Ren was a fire spitter...
MC REN: SHOCK OF THE HOUR
Ren was a beast
Ren was cold he was my favorite in NWA💪🏾
RIP THE ALMIGHTY 💪🏽 DJ TRAIN 🕯
the Original Nwa Hip Hop Group were the Temptations of Hip Hop with David Ruffin ... Mc Ren was the Paul Williams of Nwa , underrated Yet just as Potent .. Dont Look Back by Paul Williams of the Temptations aka i Heard a Dope Beat somebody told Me that Buck did it but if Dre ddnt do it i couldnt fuck wit it
I'd say Ren was the most lyrically impressive artist in NWA. Rapping was like 2nd nature to him, the way he spit his rhymes and his flow was just mesmerizing.
You ain’t never lied, Ren was gifted
Great convo on Dre’s WC production matriculation!!
As well as ATL-BML was crazy!
7:00 I hope he's talking about the Life Sentence album that was advertised in the Kizz My Black EP. I always wanted to hear that s^^%^^
I'd like to thank MC REN for his lyrical input from the west coast and for 2 songs in particular. if it wasn't for Just don't Bite it and She swallowed it I honestly don't know if i would have gotten my juint sucked half the amount of times i have in my life.
At first I’m like what album is brothers for life😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
this was a good convo to have. Ren is slept on fosho. Damn good list Soren
If I were to list my top 10 underrated rappers, MC Ren is definitely on the list.
I’m from Philly and we fucked with NWA as a group and as solo artist in my part of the city. As a group they were neck and neck Cube and Ren. As solo artist Cube just talked about a wide range of things and I started to notice his vocabulary was on another level. Ren was my favorite by far when I was younger, but once I got older I appreciated Cubes shit a lot more. Ren kinda stayed on the dark no radio play Niggaz4life vibe while Cube, Dre and Eazy always had a radio friendly banger. Side note, Above the Law don’t get the credit they deserve cause they dropped some G-funk grown man shit.
Does Bobcat have an unreleased joint with the NwA crew? Dude, no fucking way does b'Cat hold that shit for that many years. If so I need that joint.
This is my first shot to spot the show, man you just might have you a new subscriber & that for sure.
DJ Jam of Tha Dose 💯🔥🎶👊🏼 #ThaDose
Ren was too real the industry wasn’t ready for him yet
Please ask BobCat to release that PLEASE!!!
MC Ren underrated
That niggaz4 life album is still 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love this video
Glad to see Soren added to the lineup! Deez episodes are 🔥!
Shock of the Hour was an amazing album. Very underrated.
I would love to hear that album!
Ren fucked up when he went all Muslim and shit. Dude would have been one of the best in the 90s. Even though he had a couple of dope albums in the 90s, he didnt have that support from Eazy E because they wasnt really talking. When they made the Muthafuckin Real song it was just an example of what Eazy E and MC Ren had when collaborating together to drop some real gangster shit.
Listen to ALWAYZ INTO SOMETHIN... The chronic was basically based off rens style
When Dre left Ruthless he took the production that deep cover beat was Ren’s
@@MrWARBUCKS24YUP
Ren was always my favorite MC in NWA
The Chronic is one of the greatest album ever any genre
MC Ren delivery and voice was fire 🔥 To me he sounded like a west coast DMC
To those who know and understand, this is a trick question. He has MC in his name for a reason .
He for sure honors that MC in his name
This is just a dope conversation all the wau around
I agree 💯with Soren !!second nwa album Is the best Dre album
Great talk 👑
And when Ren Executive Produced and brought out CPO aka Lil Nation! That was a dope move also!!💯 RIP CPO🙏🏾
You know how when people mention Chuck D voice, Ren had that voice
Definitely Ren made things even never knew people even thought one of them was better than the other we never thought that probably what made NWA NWA is the evenness of Cube and Ren
I love all his solo albums especially The Villain in Black
Ren is definitely is nice as CUBE The difference is Cube was MORE colorful that's the only difference. Ren has ALWAYS been MURDEROUS. BARITONE RAPPERS GET OVERLOOKED OFTEN LIKE KANE AND BUN B
Great segment. Soren Baker mc eiht
I always loved Ren, as already said here he was a beast. Now he mos def needs to be invited to Drink Champs so we can hear his side of the story and to get his flowers.
Salute to Soren for being respectful. ✊🏾
I wrote about this in my book the history of gangster rap😂😂😂
Amazing how these gangsters have survived. I couldn't get involved. I knew people involved and I had to stay away and keep my distance. I never got it.
When NWA first hit,I thought Ren sounded like DMC.He was my favorite rapper in the group.I love Cube but Ren is an absolute beast & can hold his own with anyone!
You are spot on, he comes from that cloth and you can hear the DMC influence…voice, calm demeanor and confidence on every track he spits on 🫡
MC Ren was inpolitically correct and pushing his NOI political views, MC Ren didn't have commerical radio singles but he was still selling unit real well
Fun Fact: Eiht was an extra in the Eazy Duz It video dancing in the crowd.
Ren the One who Shouted out CMW
