Title: wtf is going on with mc ren?
Post by: Sir Petey on March 16, 2011, 05:59:45 PM
we all know his last album was horrible disgusting trash, it had no direction to it at all... its a shame none of these wc legends are trying to put him back on...him and cube should hook up or mack 10 should try and put him on hoobangin or someshit.

he sounded uninspired on his last album maybe he just dont have his heart in it no more.

any one got ren news?

dude must be broke if he put out an album with that low production values. If he can't get his own shit together why would others fuck with him?

MC Ren had the talent to blow up on the solo tip like Cube and Dre but he made the mistake with sticking with Eazy

You said yourself, his last album was trash and he had no direction. Today we've got myspace rappers who can put out amazing albums on shoestring budgets. Lol @ expecting Dre to save a nigga who can't do anything dope by himself

He could've capitalized off the NWA reunion movement.

Post by: Triple OG Rapsodie on March 17, 2011, 01:07:52 PM
Another album would be a bad idea. He doesn't have any direction, and his whole style of pure hardcore raps is pretty played out imo. He hasn't been able to evolve his style like Cube or Dre. If anything I'd prefer to hear him on features with them, but that shit ain't gonna happen so might as well forget about it.

i would just be happy to hear him on anything with some direction and some decent production/mixing behind him.

I think that's the whole difference between Dre & Cube when they went solo & Ren. Not the lyrics or flow delivery, but the instrumentals! They just don't compare! Just like the entire Death Row sound vs Ruthless sound at the same time... Can you imagine the vocals of Ren's solo songs over any DR-produced beat? For a whole album? It'd have gone multi-platinum! No fucken doubt!

I also agree Ren must have counted on the NWA reunion (the featurings, the Up in Smoke Tour, & unfortunately the album that never happened), hell, the dvd as great as it was, was missing even as short as a 15mn (I even say 30mn) NWA 2001 live section!

After that, I think I recall Ren said he only wanted to stay independant, that he wanted nothing to do with a major. He did a cd-single independant, he did his "movie" independant, & his online album independant... Thing is he don't master the independant game like, say, Daz does. Or even how the DOC did his album. THAT would have been a good move for him! Working with another OG like him with whom he has great history!

The most recent featuring I can think of is with Tha Chill "Have dat Money Rite", good track, good video.
Hell The Game outta have mad features with Ren shouting NWA as he does...

If making horrible faux southern music like cube is evolving no wonder hip hop is considered dead. And how has dre evolved he's still rapping about the same exact shit

Post by: Jimmy H. on March 19, 2011, 09:17:09 PM
Ren was in a tough position. Eazy was the company. Dre was the music. Cube was the superstar. Cube could afford to leave because he wasn't being paid what he was worth and Priority knew they could offer him what he wanted and they made a killing. Dre's deal was tougher because he actually signed a deal with Ruthless but his name had become so much more valuable than what his contract was that Suge and Interscope figured they'd take the L, make the money, and give Eric points on the deal. Ren not only didn't have the value as a solo act but you'd have to figure at that point that Eric was never going to let him get out of that deal. Furthermore from what I understand, he was creatively stuck because as he's explained, he really wasn't interested in Eazy's creative direction at the time. He didn't want to be a part of the anti-Death Row thing that Eazy was doing and he was publicly vocal about not wanting to do an N.W.A. record without everyone included. I believe him and Eazy actually were down-low complaining about it in that Fab 5 Freddy MTV interview way back when. Then Eazy died and it was even harder for him to deal with Ruthless. By the time, he was fully free and ready to go on his own, Dre and Cube had so much on their plates that they just didn't need it like Ren did.

Yup. That's the one. Eazy and Ren are visibly not on the same page there. It's funny that they say Ren "disses" him too because when Eazy talks about Dre, Ren's head is tilting down like he wants no part of it. Then when Ren says he'll do it if "everyone" comes together.

Cube only fell off in recent years though. Look at his whole his career and you can see how his style has evolved. From the nigga you love to hate, to west side connection, to the don mega. He managed to stay relevant for so long that now it doesn't matter whether he drops another album. His legacy is set.

Dre evolved as a producer with his sound and managed to stay relevant. He's not really a rapper. The guy made 2 albums in a 20 year span, both carried by their production and the other artists involved. He's maintained his relevance by working with rappers, not by being one.
