--- Quote ---The first release in 1992 of the 'Kizz My Black Azz' 12" EP was canceled by the label due to license issues with a sample of Isaac Hayes song 'The Look Of Love' used for the track 'Right Up My Alley'.
A re-release was published, which is completely identical to the first one except that the beat for 'Right Up My Alley' was changed, so the difference between the two versions can only be heard on the record itself.
There are probably only a few issues left, due to the fact that the owners must have bought it on the first or second release day, before the EP was taken out of the stores.

This is the first and true version of the song and how it was intended to be heard, any other version you can find on the internet is the second one using a sample by Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick.

Taken from N4ilu on soundcloud. He was the original uploader of this song!

To be honest I think this version is much better than the one on the re-release. It gives the song a totally different vibe. The Issac Hayes sample is beautiful and smooth. It goes into a G-Funk type direction. It's a shame that the sample couldn't get cleared.
Enjoy and share! :)

I bought it the day it was released, so I don't know about that... and it don't fit the "style" of rest of the tracks.

I prefer the original, they should have released that as the single, not the remix.

--- End quote ---

I also bought both on the same day, of course I listened to Doggystyle first, the hype was unreal at the time.


--- Quote from: The Predator on January 07, 2026, 10:02:37 AM ---3. Ruthless For Life - His last studio album release on Ruthless, apart from the Cube/Bobcat song i thought it was soft at the time.
But i love that shit now, it's his smoothest G-Funk album.

--- End quote ---

Other than the intro: Ruthless for Life and the one with Cube it's disappointing.


--- Quote from: The Predator on January 07, 2026, 10:02:37 AM ---Kizz My Black Azz is his best E.P.

--- End quote ---

All is first three solo projects is solid, but I got to go with Kizz My Black Azz as all the tracks bangs, there is some weak ones on Shock of the Hour and The Villain In Black.


--- Quote from: The Predator on January 07, 2026, 10:02:37 AM ---Too bad he passed on A Paris produced album when the Panther reached out to him, was a chance for some militant shit instead of the lazy recycled dick-suckin rhymes of nowadays.

--- End quote ---

Yeah, wonder what's the reason Ren backed out.


--- Quote from: The Predator on January 07, 2026, 10:02:37 AM ---I dug that album with his homie C.P.O, unlike everyone else i prefered that upeat rappin hardcore Ruthless shit it to the mellower style he switched too on Death-Row.

The remixes






--- Quote from: The Predator on January 07, 2026, 10:02:37 AM ---Which version of Mayday did everyone prefer, pre-G-Funk CB4 -

"Mayday, mayday, we're going down?
Niggaz screamin' mayday 'cause Ren is kickin' ass like Pele
Makin' fools run like it's a relay
But ain't no fools runnin' sprints in shorts
It's just niggaz shootin' dice on the basketball courts...''



or Dark G-Funk album version -



I fucks with both, dig 'The American Me' vocal sampled on the hook.

The clean lyrics on the CB4 soundtrack is better but the added elements to the beat that's on Shock on the Hour makes the beat a little better.
