The Villain in Black 1996 Album

MC Ren

While this is better, as with his debut, I feel that this is unappreciated. This album caught my attention from the jump with hard rhymes from Ren with some nice west coast beats that match the title, feeling dark. While there is some consciousness in 'Bring It On' and thrown in at times with other bars, the rhymes are mostly brag rap with many lines hating on soft rappers. Goes hard. A really consistent 50-minute release. Best Tracks: Mad Scientist, Live From Compton 'Saturday Night', I Don't Give a Damn, Bring It On.
