    MC Ren has one of the greatest voices in hip hop history. His voice is up there with Kane's, Cube's, KRS's, Chuck D's, etc.

    • @TheSorenBaker

      Agreed, Kory Green. I always wondered why more people didn't appreciate MC Ren more than they did. At least OutKast gave him a shout out on "Aquemini." Thank you for watching #BestAlbums. I appreciate the support.

      Soren Baker You're welcome. Great channel. Cee-lo Green quoted him on a song when he used "you don't know me, my record can't tell ya" as a hook. There's a lot of great rappers in groups that never got the props they deserved. Even though MC Ren did some solo work, it wasn't as lauded or popular as his group work with NWA. Shock of the Hour enjoys cult status among a small contingent of fans, though. I remember a lot of internet heads name dropping that album around the late 90s on early hip hop sites.

    Ren knows what's up!!! BDP use to run N.Y. back in the day.
    NWA used one of BDP's verses, "it's not about a salary, it's all about reality". Nothing but respect!!!

    Live and direct Boogie Down Productions is Laarrge!! Krs and rakim were the top 2 MC's in the 80's then you had Kane, Kool G Rap, EPMD, Public Enemy, NWA, Slick Rick & Dougie, the Biz etc.. Damn that was great era in Hip Hop!!

      It's rare to hear Shock of the Hour mention. I'd put it there with Geto Boys self titled LP as 2 of the most hardcore albums ever released.

      TRUE INDEED!! I STILL THINK MC REN SHOULD'VE LEFT NWA WITH ICE CUBE, WHEN CUBE TRIED 2 GET HIM 2 LEAVE WIT HIM😕 I THINK REN's CAREER WOULD'VE BEEN A LOT MORE FRUITFUL U KNOW WHAT I MEAN BRUUH"

    • @nekronbeast3981
      @nekronbeast3981 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ed Joyce I'd rather hear what he has to say in the interviews like this something I dont think he did much of back in the day. I always felt like Cube had more of a West coast influence and Ren was influenced more by East coast rappers judging by their delivery . I'm probably dead wrong though lol.

    My favorite BDP album as well. To this day I have album on my wall. I agree with Ren, the reggae influence, AC/DC sample Dope Beat and of course the cover itself. I also had the UK specialty albums Man and His Music with remixes and bonus tracks. Great album, Great interview with Ren who is also a favorite MC of all time. And now a word from our sponsor...

    Mc Ren is underrated. Ren got skills but is overlooked by the other three in the group . Since Ren is on the West coast, he appreciate and respects East coast rappers. Some West coast rappers got respect for certain East coast rappers. Now I don't know in 2021. East coast rappers influences West coast rappers. Better yet East coast rappers influenced the West, South, Mid South, New Orleans, etc. New York started it and it just took off from there. Today I don't know what to call it!!!??
