Ren did the whole pie scheme, and this dropped on Pi Day. This is for the nerds I guess. lol

Lol Shakespeare shit bro

[@ablightuponall]

When he transitions out of the nucleus scheme, "split an atom in a fraction, a reaction... supersize me" he's giving a shout out to the reactors who broke down his work and helped him blow up.

[@enigmaticbird]

That’s how I perceived that too.

[@ItsMeBliz]

The way i perceived it was different. Nas worked with Large Professor a rapper and producer, Large Professor worked on a track breaking atoms, so think its a shout to that, but knowing Ren it probably has multiple layers

[@kenspencer3448]

I'm a Death Metal fan, but Black Pegasus has me opening my mind to some really good SH**! Thanks to you introducing me to this dude, I'm definitely Renegade!

[@jason5170]

That crosswalk clock stopped at exactly 0 when Ren stopped.

[@pr1nce0fh3ll9]

Yeah he mentioned that and it was just a neat coincidence lol

[@karakreer6344]

15:18 and just as he's referring to the old school greats, a school bus drives by 😮🎉

[@braca977]

OOOh i didn't realise that...Also the running time.... Original is about 04:20 but this is basically half the time 02:10 Ren is Crazyyyyyy

[@nightcrawler5696]

One take, retake. Calgary streets. Dope rap scheme. This is my shit.

[@tyrantmind]

Hell yea, Shout out Calgary peeps!

[@gblack604]

FYI: By his preteen years, NAS had settled on pursuing a career as a rapper, and as a teenager enlisted his best friend and upstairs neighbor Willie “Ill Will” Graham as his DJ (hence III ref in Ren’s retake). Nas first went by the nickname Kid Wave (hence Wave reference in Ren’s retake) before adopting his more commonly known alias of Nasty Nas. Nas made his on-record debut as one in his group Main Source with a verse on “Live at the BBQ”, from Main Source’s LP Breaking Atoms. (Again Ren used the breaking atom scheme in his retake) Ren knows his Hip Hop History)

[@slate613]

Knox Hill noticed that he timed that street crossing at 7:47 perfectly with the light. That's paying attention.

[@jamesashwin735]

I think this is some of Ren's best penmanship. Mad scheming. I especially love the whole rain / sales / sails / pirates / pied piper / pie rats scheme. Straight fire. I love both this retake and The Hunger for the sheer flex of how hard he can go with condensed rhymes, multisyllabics etc - but I can't wait for him to put out a full 5/6 minute track filled with it. Illest of Our Time and Losing It are two of my favourites of his, just because they feel more complete as tracks.

[@katstephenson8493]

Love how you support Ren.. You're a top bloke.☮️💓🇬🇧

[@seanriley199]

It started with 'the sales/sails will rise'

[@mauraleib]

He says “I’m pimping my pain” just before that

[@UrbanHim]

"I'm pimping my pain" ... "put my problems on the paper and my sales will reign" - This Ren going deep AF lyrically here, in some respects he's making a dig at himself, whilst also recognising that his problems have also been a large part of his success and lyrical content! The man's a genius!

[@joelmastrobattisto422]

This was so ridiculously fire, I hope NAS hears this. He will be amazingly flattered and impressed. Dude while you’re on old rap songs, I am super shocked and I’ve been waiting to see your reaction to Adam Calhoun’s shook ones remix. That was absolutely unbelievable as well. I thought you might be staying away from it because The stupid diss battle between him and Upchurch. But you should know that this was not an Upchurch diss. He clearly makes that known in this song he is definitely irritated about the situation, but explains how much he loves Upchurch and he’s his friend. He put an end to that crap. really hope that you do a reaction to it. It’s got almost 1,000,000 views in two weeks. He killed it old school rap

[@SickBoiRENegade]

💯🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@albaPhenom]

Nas is my all time Nr.1 and Halftime is one of my favourite tracks so this is dubs all round for me. BTW, I love the cassette tape reference to how we all probably first listened to Illmatic right at the end of the track.

[@dancerbird76]

One of my favourite lines ‘salute with bars’…….Ren, always respecting and paying tribute to the roots of his art 🔥🔥knew you’d love it. Thanks BP 💜

[@user-fu3cf9vp4w]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥from Ren once again ❤❤❤

[@aaronsebastian5156]

Crazy fact: Halftime, For Joe, and Fred Again were all shot within 2 km from each other. Love the reactions. You need to get Ren to live react to your retake of Money Game when it drops.

[@clairemccarney7437]

THANK YOU BP for breaking this down so fantastically for us. I am not a huge rap fan, mostly because i mainly cant keep my brain up to speed with what is being said, but i know Ren and how much meaning, double entendre's and humour he puts to his work i needed to find a reactor to do this for me. You were the first one i thought of so thank you for reacting so quickly ❤ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@mikep83]

Ren is a Goat. No need to compare but that was an awesome tribute. So many bars and the flow was so good!!

[@Samw8484]

He just stole Big L's bars in this so he ain't no goat! Big L says it's like China without rice like the holy bible without christ! You can't be stealing legendary rappers bars!

[@mikep83]

@@Samw8484 All he’s done is play homage to some of the greats!! He’s a goat for all of his work, not just his rapping, his other retakes, his solo rapping, singing, reggae to blues and rocking out with the big push all while going through treatments for a significant disease. Tell me another artist that can do all that?

[@annfarmer9704]

[@larrywoodard2639]

Let's get it!

[@ItsMeBliz]

In 1994, Large Professor produced three of the ten songs on Nas's Illmatic ("Halftime", "One Time 4 Your Mind", and "It Ain't Hard to Tell"), the most of any producer involved with the album. Breaking Atoms is the debut album of American/Canadian hip hop group Main Source, released July 23, 1991, on Wild Pitch Records. Production was handled by the group, primarily by member Large Professor, and took place during 1990 to 1991 at Homeboy Studio, Power Play Studios, and Libra Digital in New York City. The album has been widely regarded by writers and music critics as a significantly influential album and has been noted for debuting rapper Nas, who appears on the track "Live at the Barbeque". His contribution to the song was sampled on "The Genesis", the intro track to his debut album Illmatic (1994).

[@SickBoiRENegade]

❤❤❤❤I've had this on repeat since it dropped! It's sooo good! 🔥🔥🔥

[@atwellorama]

One of the AWESOME things about Ren is that while introducing a whole new crowd to hip-hop, he's also telling us what hip-hop is. He doesn't just create new stuff, he's pointing in the direction of "If you like this, check these classics out".

[@Ph4n_t0m]

I always get something special watching your input on these tracks. Seeing how hard the Big Mac scheme hit you made me understand just how special it was. I am totally out of my element with Hip Hop and even though I enjoy it, I never really _learned_ about it. So thank you BP

I’m GenX so I know the 80s early 90s big names/songs (imo the best). Obviously huge hits from Kurtis Blow, GMF, Em, NWA, Beastie Boys, but rap wasn’t something I regularly listened to. I thank not only Ren but reactors like you and the Avengers for reintroducing me to my past and giving me more appreciation for the whole hip hop culture❤
