[b.laden]

The Villain in Black . im still surprised how this album sound good
produced by Big Hutch and Madness 4 real

[The Predator]

1. Shock Of The Hour is the best (Dark G-Funk), when i went to pick up Doggystyle from the store, the Ren tape was right next to it...had enuff bucks in the pocket so picked them both up and walked out happier then a muthafucka.

2. Da Villian In Black was another dark G-Funk album, ATL involved and Ren was on thier 1996 shit too -



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.

Kizz My Black Azz is his best E.P.

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.

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.

''Get three coffins ready....''



''My mistake, make that four''

The scratchin and scratch out to that song at the end was so ill.

--------

The drums be heavy  -



--------

C.P.O. rappin his ass off  -



--------------

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.

Anyone got a HQ link of this -

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.

It didn't sell well, I bought MC Ren's Kizz My Black Azz and the Penthouse Players album the same day. Got photos of me in front of the promo posters.

[Krull2025]

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

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

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.

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

Kizz My Black Azz is his best E.P.

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.

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.

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

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.
