MC Ren pissed off about the offcial Straight Outta Compton biopic trailer

[Ensoniq]

He went about it in an immature unintelligent manner which is probably why he's never succeeded outside of NWA. Regardless tho, his name should at least be on the trailer.

 

[Yehuda]

This is the same dude that wanted to name the album Straight Outta Compton. From Compton With Love.

 

[Hardest Since MC Ren]

Ren always been the most lowkey member,,even after nikkaz 4 Life dropped..which he singlehandedly wrote[with the help of D.O.C of course]

But lowkey doesnt mean irrelevant...i know its just a trailer but still

This is like making Wu Tang trailer without Deck
A Roots movie trailer without Malik B
A Rocafella movie trailer without Biggs..

I mean Cube's bytch ass in it so i doubt i didnt expect any shine on other members
nikka left before their biggest album dropped and he still out chea screaming NWA

Shoulda cut his hair off and fukked him with a broomstick

Ren was always my favorite in the crew. Granted, Cube's solo work has him in my top 5. But as far as NWA the group is concerned, Ren was always my favorite. I've often wondered how his solo would have turned out if Dre and Cube didn't bounce. Matter fact, had DJ Train not passed, how would Ren's solo projects differed from how they turned out?

On another note, was reading a post from DJ Mike T of CMW fame on another forum, and he stated that Da Chill and Ren were and still are close friends. That had me thinking how I would like to see a flick or a book focusing on CMW's story, but at the same time tell Quik's story. While NWA gets more mentions, truth be told myself personally I've listened to CMW and Eiht's work more than NWA and it's alumni with the exception of Cube's early solo work. Their story along with Quik's is more intriguing to me from a street perspective. As an old school Eiht stan, I didn't begin to appreciate Quik's work until years after their beef died. In hindsight I hate that they beefed, and that beef played a role into some Death Row sh!t behind the scenes. A book or a flick about those years would be interesting to me Sh!t would be like a Compton version of Purple Rain. Red(TTP) and Blue(Tragniew) make purple.

Dude, We Come Strapped

Even most self admitted NWA fans wouldn't recognize MC Ren walking down the street. No way in hell I would waste time including him in the trailer if I'm trying to actually make money.

You're not an NWA fan, if you couldn't.

I dunno how to put it, but the production on the 2nd album fit their style way more. The beats were more raw & gritty..and ren was rapping his ass off.

Agreed. nikkaz4Life is the best Dr. Dre album

Huh,......

How is Ren irrelevent.
he was the only real nikka in nwa, period.


Art Barr

Eazy was a Kelly Park Compton Crip.

nikka moved weight during the early '80s.

How do you think he got Ruthless Records started?

They knew it was over during 100 miles and running.
the numbers were just subterfuge for the obvious.
you were wack to even own nikkaz4life back then.
listening to that shyt was like 2legit2quit.
most won't admit it, but if you were really apart of the culture.
you know what it is.


Art Barr

Did not buy nikka4life, till 1997, just because

Stop.

I don't know what you hippity dippity rappedy rap Tribe Called Quest ass nikkaz were listening to during '91, but there was not a fukkin' ghetto in this country that didn't have nikkaz4Life bumping in ever street. I'd bet money on it. Even Raekwon shouts that shyt out on "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx".

Hell, I was a shorty at that time, that's how I heard it, because EVERY nikka in the hood had that shyt.

"Real nikkaz Don't Die" ?
"Appetite For Destruction"?
"Real nikkaz"?
"Days of Wayback"?

That shyt was Chronic/DoggyStyle/All Eyez On Me level saturation in '91.

I heard the shyt everywhere I went especially Alwayz In2 Somethin but at the same time between the tapes i had of Cube, WC + Madd Circle, Breed, Above The Law, $hort, 'Pac and CMW i was pretty set lol

EXACTLY!!!

I don't know what that other dude was talking about. Other than maybe All Eyez On Me, I aint never heard a record out of more cars.

Ren would fade Cube on the Mic then and now imo, the fans didn't get a proper response to no Vaseline, Cube dodged a bullet.

To be fair, nikkaz4Life is just them all shytting on Cube the whole record

Culturally, nwa was doNE for as a cultural rap selling act.
they became the first real rap pop act with nikkaz4life, breh.
plus, created the prison industrial economy model as well on that album.
there was a boycott on buYing nwa back then.
only people buying nwa was gangsta nikkaz in chiffon shirts and steppers with no connection to the culture.
nikkaz forget, there was a no sellout rule and the cowboy edict then.
which nwa violated and it was upheld.
to the point that was how the divide created to allow cube to become cube.


Art Barr

REally?

They were the first pop rap act?

The Beastie Boys? Hammer? Vanilla Ice? Another Bad Creation? Kid N Play? Heavy D? Salt N Pepa?

C'mon, man.

What does this even mean? As if NWA albums are the blueprint all post-Rap albums from that era.

They are.

No NWA = no Snoop, Dre, Biggie, 2pac, Wu, 50 Cent, Eminem, or anybody else who can sell a hell of a lot of records and curse a lot.

in the '80s, cursing a lot and talking about selling dope and bytches meant that you were never gonna get on radio or sell any real records. NWA are the ones who changed that. If it wasn't for them, mainstream rapper would've went in Hammer and Vanilla Ice and Kid N Play's direction, instead of toward the "gangsta".

NWA SUCKS

Your mother sucks.

I know man.

Why is it getting worse and worse and not getting better and better?.

White people.

More specifically, White girls who listen to Hip-Hop to be rebellious and the and the who pander to their hoe asses.

i'm an mc ren fan, but still, apart from yella, he is the most irrelevant member of the group. eazy e, dr. dre and ice cube are household names, so of course the movie is going to focus on them. especially in the trailer, which is meant to attract an audience.

i understand if he feels it is a lack of respect, even though he has been in the entertainment business long enough to understand how it works. he's never been a stand out member, so of course he is not going to play a stand out part in the movie. anyways, getting worked up over a trailer and venting your frustration over social media is a bad look. if he doesn't like the way he is portrayed in the movie, he has every right to say so, but he should do it in another way, instead of talking about "bytches who know nothing about hiphop". it's a movie, not a history book. and saying that this is about his fans and his family and not his own personal butthurtness i ridiculous.

I don't think Eazy is a household name either. That ninja died 20yrs ago and aside from a few shoutouts on Bone albums, no one has kept his name alive...oh yeah, I can't forget about all of those people that are recently buying The Chronic and heard the shots. Hell, a lot of people just think he's a random like Uncle Charles, since it's not like Bone is acknowledged as a NWA spinoff.

Mobb Deep trailer with no Noyd but with Alchemist
Redman trailer that only shows the Blunt Bros
Queen Latifah trailer that doesn't mention Shakim

the damn trailer is long... they couldn't do a quick shot of the 5 of them on stage, or an album cover, or have 2.5 seconds of "yo ren"... something???


that's his point.. they didn't even care about the nikka..

now while y'all are all talking shyt about what it is today... none of those 3 would be house hold names if not for ren... cause he was writing the damn music that gave them the name... none of them would be famous without yella... cause he was there producing the tracks

so ok he's not too known... that doesn't mean he doesn't deserve 5 seconds of your time to throw into a trailer... it's a straight slap in the face of everything you've done as a man.

not a single person in here, would be happy to see a life story written about their greatest accomplishment... and then not even get 2 seconds of time when it's presented to the world.. this isn't the eazy e story... it's the nwa story... imagine a run dmc movie and they leave out jam master jay "b-b-b-b-b-but he was just dj'ing"

 

[Silver Surfer]

Why didnt he mention Cube and Dre in his tweets since they are executive producers and most likely got a say in how the trailer was cut....

The disrespect for MC Ren itt is disturbing.

"That's the hardest shyt since MC Ren"

 

[Danie84]

Coli Confession: I don't have Bone in this, cuz I always felt NWA was overrated

...but, it's a shame they couldn't credit a true founding member (MC Ren) properly

And, it's still suspect LiL E didn't get to play his dad, but Cube son did

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

"So tell me, who's ya top 10 is it Mc Shan, is it Mc Ren"

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

whats with all this talk about "mc ren's solo career didnt pop off"?

those 1st few ren tapes did indeed pop off. just because he wasnt shoved down our throats like dre & cube, doesnt mean that he didnt have any success after nwa.

And, it's still suspect LiL E didn't get to play his dad, but Cube son did

this was the writing on the wall.

they had to get lil eazy out the way. i bet they did eazy dirty in this flick.

and watch snoop be all up in the movie, but you probably wont hear a peep about bone thugs even tho they were more successful than snoop.

Lil Eazy E is 31. At least Cube's son is still young enough looking to portray his dad. Lil Eazy looks his age already

JMJ was a much more visible member of Run DMC than Ren was.

And again, go back and check out the NWA doc that was done. He was barely mentioned then, and unless they wanted to make up a fictional story to make Ren stand out, Ren was the low key dude who wrote a lot of their material but wasn't viewed the same way as the others. It's a trailer! Worry about the movie. No one will care about the trailer once the movie gets closer to being released.

not that it matters but eazy-e was no spring chicken either.

they knew what they were doing by leaving lil eazy out. they were trying to avoid conflict and wanted to have their way with eazy character.

they already got eazy looking puss in the trailer.

in terms of just music, they arguably are kinda overrated.

you can argue that they were just the 3rd best group from ruthless.
