MC Ren – Ruthless For Life (CD) (1998) (FLAC + 320 kbps)
MC Ren’s solo career has suffered from an over-reliance on gangsta rap clichés, and his second full-length album, Da Villain in Black, is no exception. Working with Above the Law’s Cold 187um, Ren has constructed an album that doesn’t deviate from clichéd G-funk grooves. Furthermore, Ren hasn’t come up with lyrics to match his first two solo records, let alone those of Dre, Ice Cube, or Eazy-E. Relying on profanity instead of insight, the half-hearted raps sadly fit the unimaginative music perfectly.

Whoever wrote that review, we’re definitely not on the same page. This is easily my favourite Ren album, a solid listen from start to finish. If you like west coast gangsta rap, it’s worth bumpin f’sho.
