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.
