Reviews Customer Reviews for Ruthless For Life The Villain In Black Returns Fo The 9Eight Rating: MC Ren comes back for his fourth album just 2 years after The Villain In Black. Unfortunately, this is the only album of his I have as of Mar. 2007. But I gotta say it knocks all the way thru. Ren still kicks those tales of his Compton set just like he did with NWA. Even though he reps CPT to the fullest, the beats are just as Bay Area, and even Down South, as they are LA. Ant Banks laces fire on "N---a Called Ren," and "All The Same" with those melodic space boogie beats he's well known for. T-Mixx, of Suave House fame in Texas and Memphis creates heat on 3 songs (1/4 the album!): 1)"Who In The F---" (f/ 8Ball/MJG), 2)"Voyage To Compton"(what an awesome laid-back G-Funk smoker), and 3) "Must Be High." All Three slap with that down south funk flava. LT Hutton, Young Tre, Tha Chill,and a few others lace up some L.A. Flava on the remainder of the album. The beats are G-Funk with a syrupy taste. The production for the most part is awesome, even though I am not crazy about the beat on "So Whatcha Want." Ren still kills all the tracks with that gangsta flow. Definitely worth the scrill.
Customer Reviews for Ruthless For Life Cd Classic For Life Rating: You guys really didnt like this album? OK. Even though this album was the last album Ive heard from Mc Ren, I was not dissapointed with it at all. In fact I'll show you how much Im not dissapointed with it. Standout Tracks: RUTHLESS FOR LIFE, WHO IN THE F***(killer collabo with 8ball& MJG), COMIN AFTER YOU(solid connection with Ice Cube), VOYAGE TO COMPTON(I swear the guy on the hook sounds like Ronald Isley), MUST BE HIGH, SO WATCHA WANT, WHO GOT THAT STREET S***, PIMPIN IS FREE(minus Peeps wack verse), CPT ALL DAY(crazy song to end a good album with). Filler: Shot Caller is the only song Im not too fond of. Complaints: No conscious songs on here like Mc Ren had on his other albums. Bottom Line: Great production, great lyrics and songs that have a strong replay value. Ruthless For Life is a classic minus what the these trash ragazines have to say about it. Mc Ren's punchlines and barbs are humorous whille he bashes rap clones into submission. Case in point:/Them n***as be bitchin cause I wont let em on my team/ and give em a title like Hakeem/ I peel their caps like tangerines/LOL! I would still listen to this album any day regardless of how The Sauce(XXL clone)and XXLAX(The Source clone, confusing isnt it?) feels.
