"Who's your top ten, is it MC Ren or MC Shan?" - Nas, "Hip Hop Is Dead"
Nas posed the question and I'm guessing the answer from most fans was neither. Nonetheless, I've always kind of liked MC Ren's solo stuff, even though he talks an awful lot about people getting pounded in the you-know-what. Still, when you want a dark West coast album for the winter, you can't go wrong with Ren, especially his The Villain in Black album.
Here's a song from the soundtrack he did around the same time of that album - I'm guessing this was left off though I don't know why, as it would have fit perfectly. I also love how the guy that created this simple video for YouTube incorporated that cover. This is "Who Wanna be the Villain" from the soundtrack for the film Original Gangstas, which I've never seen - but it sounds horrible!
