Working with a new producer and enlisting an impressive roster of guest artists (including Snoop Doggy Dogg, Ice Cube, Eightball & MJG and RBX), MC Ren reconfigures himself as a latter-day gangsta rapper, complete with dope beatas and loping basslines. Ren does this fairly well. There's few weak tracks on Ruthless for Life and all of his ideas are a little shopworn, his lyrics in this album are mostly about sex, but it does sound better than another collection of hardcore post-NWA hip-hop would have. So, Ruthless for Life does revitalize Ren -- it gives the opportunity to sound like a contemporary, not a washed-up veteran. And that, in a way, makes it one of his better solo records.
