MC Ren and Ice Cube are the youngest N.W.A. members; MC Ren was born June 14th 1969 and Ice Cube a day later on June 15th 1969. Interestingly enough, MC Ren and Ice Cube later would become the main songwriters for N.W.A. together.
2. How did MC Ren get his stage name?

Answer: His first name

MC Ren's birth name is Lorenzo Jerald Patterson. Ren are the middle letters in his first name Lorenzo, so that's why he called himself MC Ren.

5. When Ice Cube left N.W.A. MC Ren was involved in writing all songs on both of their releases without him.

Answer: True

Ice Cube and MC Ren were the songwriting team, but then in 1989 Ice Cube left due to feeling like Eazy-E and Jerry Heller were not letting him receive proper royalties for his contributions. So as a result, MC Ren was now involved in writing all songs and The D.O.C. was the second most significant contributor.
