That one song they dropped a few years ago had me excited for this. I didn't even finish listening tho. This is disappointing but hey, so was Kids My Black Azz. I should have known from the demonic intro that it would be trizash.

BTW, Cali needs a new sound.

Kiss my black azz disappointing??  Hounddogz, Right up my alley and others? Bought this day one when it dropped back in the day.  Still in rotation. Some of his best material.

^Y'all co-sign this?
Maybe it was just me. 

I bought MC Ren's Kizz My Black Azz the day it dropped (also bought the Penthouse Players album the same day. ) Got photos of me in front of the promo posters.

What are the 2 Best Songs on MC Ren's “Kizz My Black Azz" EP? | THE GREAT DEBATERS | Episode 119

Sounds like this isn't about Bruce Springsteen but Tom Petty and the vocals they extracted for the Last Dance song. Focus... replied to TI's post.

Does anybody have the scans of the interview where Dre and/or Cube talk about Endonesia and Gimmie 50 Feet? Thanks!

Bump! I know they were in this thread

MC Ren interview in Rap Pages August 1998
Rap Pages: After failing to cross paths with Cube for several years after the group’s dissolution, the two were reunited by producer Bobcat, who was working on tracks for each artist’s upcoming album. Ren and Cube discussed a reunion but where tripped up by a flat tire in the creative wheel.
         “Dre, he ain’t fuckin’ with nobody out here,” Ren says with a obvious disappointment. “He only want to fuck with New York motherfuckers right now. We all got on the phone and we talked about it. Dre was like,’yeah,yeah, we’re going to do it. We’re going to go to the studio I be fucking with’. But then, when it was time, he didn’t want to fuck with it. We were supposed to do an N.W.A track for The Players Club. We where supposed to meet at Dre’s crib. The day came,and Dre flaked on us.
          “Cube was kinda hot for a minute, like he was going to take it personal,” he continues. “We where talking like we should just do some shit ourselves. We ain’t finna beg no nigga to do no shit. I don’t know what that nigga’s trippin off of. He didn’t want to do that Players Club shit with niggas that put him out. Because if it wasn’t for niggas like us—me, Cube and niggas back in the day—he wouldn’t be where he at. Cube asked him a favor, and he couldn’t do it for that nigga, but he can turn around and do some shit with LL. It ain’t like LL made you Dr.Dre or helped get to be where you’re at. When he flaked like that, we where like, ’Fuck it, the reunion thing ain’t gonna happen.’”
         Still, Ren says he hopes it could happen one day. Snoop, who appears on Ruthless For Life’s “So Watcha Want,” was slated to occupy Eazy-E’s place in the group, though unreleased Eazy material was to be included on a number of tracks.

If you don't learn from the past, you're bound to repeat it.  You most definitely should be looking back at missed opportunities, or things you did wrong and figure out what you could have done differently.  That's the only way you will get better.  Shutting the door on your past and pretending it never happened and never thinking about it is bad advice.  Now you shouldn't constantly be living in the past thinking about the good times, because that does stop forward momentum.  Maybe that's what Sccit was trying to say.

MC Ren; Ruthless For Life review in Rap Pages August 1998

MC Ren Shock Of The Hour review The Source Magazine No.53 Feb.1994 3.5/5

«Seven stranded castaways, they’re here for a long, long time / They’ll have to make the best of things / it’s an uphill climb / No Cube, no Dre, no D.O.C / Not a single luxury / like Hammer and Bust it, as primitive as can be….»
These days the once powerful Ruthless Records is starting to look like Gilligan’s Island as Eazy-E (The Skipper) and Jerry Heller (Gilligan) have found themselves stranded in hip-hop and forced to rely on talent like Blood of Abraham and Hoes with Attitude bolster their depleted roster. Lucky for them MC Ren (The Professor) still has the skills to bring them out of this desperate situation.  Out of all the group members, MC Ren was the only one who never really  got a chance to shine in the N.W.A spotlight. A consummate team player player he never made any waves, he just stayed on the DL and did his job. Ren was ahead of his time as far as West Coast rappers go, he could flip the script fast or slow, coming straight off the dome with ill gangsta shit or air-tight battle ready rhymes. The shit he flipped back in the day on «If It Ain't Ruff," "The Grand Finale," "Real Niggaz» and "The Last Song" had us all eagerly awaiting his solo album. Years later Ren (now a Muslim) attempts to fully adjust to life in a post-Dr. Dre era. His experimental EP, Kizz My Black Azz, went platinum, but that was probably due to his popularity than his music or innovation. Thankfully, Shock of the Hour is enough of an effort to re-establish his anxious fan base and set the stage for him to win over new fans. But it was not the straight-up bomb that that we know that he is capable of delivering. Upon hearing the news of his conversion to Islam I was expecting some Death Certificate type shit, but I was pleased to find that he is still on the "Broomstick up the butt/She swallowed it/Niggas shootin' dice on the basketball court/R-E-N spells Ren but I'm Raw" tip.
"Same Of Shit" is an eerie mix that combines the flavor of "The Devil Made Me Do It" and «Dre Day," as Ren kicks dope rhymes about the daily routines in LA. "Fuck What You Heard" has a pimped-out Ren telling you how "listening to gossip might get your ass shot, kid." "All Bullshit Aside" freaks N.W.A's "To Kill a Hooker" beat with some dope scratches, and for those who want a little consciousness raising Ren delivers the goods with "You Wanna Fuck Her» and "Attack On Babylon.» Aside from Ren's talented flow and menacingly distinctive voice, the album's greatest asset comes with the production. Rhythm D and Night Stawka Prod. avoid the trap of trying to duplicate the popular Dre-esque "G-Funk" sound. The result is some straight up no-frills gangsta shit, but you kind of wish that he would have heeded his own words from long ago: "I heard a dope beat/Somebody told me that Buck did it/But if Dre didn't do it I can't fuck with it.» What really keeps this record from reaching the next level is the fact that the Villain plays it too safe, keeping things well within his previously established boundaries. We also have to deal with the rhetoric (a.k.a rehashed slogans that we've all heard before, mostly) of a novice Muslim. It doesn’t seem right, somehow, to hear a man who was so publicly opposed to the the Afrocentric bandwagon ("I'm not with that Black shit so I'm not gonna yell that») turn around and jump into the role of the preacher. But it all balances out in the end, with Ren injecting some much need authenticity, lyrical talent and honesty back into gangsta rap. While the album is better than his EP and certainly much better than Eazy’s recent work, Ren still hasn't stepped up to the Ice Cube/Dre level. To do that, he's going to have to place all caution aside and go for broke. And when he does that, then he'll really be the shock of the hour.
