4.0 out of 5 stars OFFICIAL HIP-HOP REVIEWER, December 13, 2006
This review is from: The Villain in Black (Audio CD)
Hello again all you crazy hip-hop fans.
im here to write anothere review for all you out there wanting too bulk up you cd collection. iv done a few reviews now so take a look if you'v find this one helpful ( you never know, you may find something else that's worth spending your paper on )

im a large fan of tweedy bird loc and for those who have not heard his music yet does not take much of a liking to NWA due to eazy not signing him to ruthless and as im sure you all know MC REN is a member of NWA but never the less im here to tell you about rens album. this may be a shock to some but iv only got 1 NWA album, im not that big on them and prefer there solo work ie: eazy e "EAZY DUZ IT" "ITZ ON (DR DRE)187UM KILLA" and all of rens albums are proudly stacked in my rack of cd's. if this is your first MC REN album ( where have you been for the past 10year! ! ) if it is your first this is a brilliant album but rens albums do have diffrent types of beats in each album and some maybe more easy to listen too, the style of lyrics are the same. if you tend to like a lot of ie: ice cube, dr dre, and maybe mc eihts old stuff, and eazy then you should have a mc ren album in the rack people but if not then this albums great but i would go for "ruthless for life" and if you like that, come back and put this one in the shopping basket. for all you who already have a few ren albums (must been nearly every1) then this album will not dissapoint, itz got the same funky beats with great lyrics, it is one of his older albums but we all know that most of the new stuff thats out now is.. .. .. well.. .. .. not to sound gangsta but "wack" so i tend to stick to the old stuff. i would say about $10 maybe a little more would defo be money well spent on this.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Villain In Black Strikes Hard On This Joint, April 19, 2007
By G-Funk 4ever "Honda Civic" (Listenin' to the Delfonics) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Villain in Black (Audio CD)
Compton's MC Ren comes hella hard on his 3rd album, The Villain In Black from early 1996, even though most of the songs were recorded in 1995, givin' the album a 1995 feel to it. The album is short, only 9 songs (2 skits), but it is interesting. Ren still kicks in those trill gangster tales with an underground feel. I Love "Keep It Real" the most. Dr. Jam kicks in a twangy, bouncy west coastin' G-Funk groove with a slam of lyrics about keepin it authentic and shakin' the phony busters. Cold 187 Um from Above The Law handles some of the production here, and does it well. The beat on "It's Like That" is some seriously hot and original sounding G-Funk as he is well known for. 187 also heats up some more serious, experimental fonk on "Mind Blown" and "Bring It On" (the latter featuring Above The Law). Other songs have less of a G-Funk feel and more of an underground rawness giving the listener a menacing feel. The beats and rhymes on "Still The Same N---a,"Mad Scientist" "and "I Don't Give A Damn" definitely border on straight horrorcore; the latter has a beat bordering on a mix of G-Funk and a west coast version of boom-bap. Ren can flow decent and he makes for good gangsta rap, perfect for a hood soundtrack. Gangsta Rap and underground heads should definitely check this one out before it skyrockets to 50 dollars like many other rare classics. Check out Ruthless For Life, his next album from 1998 for some more gangster tales, but with more of a G-Funk atmosphere.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great album by the ruthless villain.
In this album MC Ren comes out for the 9-5 with some real hardcore s***. He deals with his usual subjects and also has a few words to say about the new school rappers. Read more
