FIRST TIME LISTEN | Ren - Genesis | REACTION!!!!!!!!

[@tetsumcneil1545]

This is a response to your challenge about doing what you love in life despite issues. I wanted to be a sword maker when I was 8 years old, I guess a lot of kids do but I really wanted to. I knew it must be my dream job. People told me I was too young to work a forge and that no one was buying anyway. Fast forward to having no money and being physically broken in and out of a wheel chair at 36...If not then? When? So I took packing crates and I made planter boxes out of them and sold them. I took that money and bought tools to do it faster. I took the new money and bought tools for shaping metal but I couldn't heat treat it, that was more money I didn't have. I found someone who could heat treat and found the amount I needed to treat at once to make a profit. From there it was practice. I am still physically broken, my body doesn't work 3 out of 7 days but I am apprentice to master Scott Sands and my swords sell for 3k each when I finish one, one day if I practice hard my swords will sell for 20k like his. If not now, when?

[@tracyrodgers5179]

Ok. I’m not even half way through and I have to comment. Man, I don’t know you and I absolutely fucking love you. Like, want to spend an afternoon eating fish and chips and chatting with you. We have different lives, different setting, different players, same same nonetheless. Ren connects people. Full stop. I love love and I mean love how you talk to your imaginary buddy. I don’t know why, it’s makes it so much more authentic and real for some reason. You are so real and present and I appreciate that about you. I won’t lie, I want to be your friend.

[@vibereacts05]

Well tracy consider us friends!!!!😁😁

[@jorice5528]

Omg! My feels exactly! Other reactors make me giggle or smile at times but you my friend, oh Jesus 😂😂 full on belly laughs & your happy positive vibe gets into my soul - love it!! Thank you 🙏 ❤

[@jodiwest3534]

I feel EXACTLY the same. I have lots of reactors I enjoy but this guy? It's CONNECT. Dude, if you ever come to Australia hmu. If you ever need to escape America (I'm hoping that is not the future but I worry) I will sponsor you and your fam not a second thought.

[@jodiwest3534]

Genre of his own. People are calling it bardcore. I think it suits.

[@BoredBro2zzz]

Same if heals broken people

[@love3peace3truth3]

Mushy peas not avocado.and we like salt and vinegar and curry sauce with the fish and chips or tartare sauce lol

[@ryderjohnson1293]

Ren can rap rap. I've never seen an artist display such advanced technical skills from so many different musical genres in my lifetime. He literally nails everything I've heard from him so far.

[@smokedog2185]

Have u heard crutch from his 1st album freckled angels it way different than this type stuff and his other tracks like how to be me are deep asf

[@ryderjohnson1293]

@smokedog0073 Yes. Love them both. It's just ashame that he is only YT trending right now. Saw the Prague awards. He needs more imho.

[@smokedog2185]

@@ryderjohnson1293 agree he definitely the most talented guy have come across in a while, he seems to have masterd all music, he can do it all, he's the 1st artist have heard and instantly became a fan of in a long time, excited to hear all I could find from him

[@Rickro72]

I'm 50yrs old and I'm hooked on Ren fire, refreshing and old school respect

[@truckinleprechaunscottcask9747]

Thanks for doing this one, you actually beat me to suggesting this one. Ren is a genius, his rhyme schemes are great. A couple more I'd suggest and would like to see you do. Losing it The Power Thanks for all your reactions and breakdowns.

[@howieb4217]

Yup, The Power 👍👍

[@vx_uk_nw]

Losing it is brilliant must of watched it 100 plus times in last few months maybe more with watching reactions 👍

[@colin7879]

Up vote for power and losing it. 2 of my favourites.

[@timothymarshall-nichols7823]

i had to tell my wife we were going to be evicted and i had bladder cancer on christmas day (al good now though it was in 2017) so i know a little where hes coming from .... love your channel it puts a smile on my face ... Tim London U.K

[@sarasweightlossjourney1432]

God bless you Tim and your family and I'm glad that you're doing better❤

[@JeffreyBruno-pj2os]

yes, his creativity, his lyrics and bars are are insane, his story telling and his skills are AMAZING

[@princesspeach729]

Physical stuff you don't know is happening inside you can also majorly impact your mental health. I thought I was having another breakdown a few weeks back, I lashed out at work which is totally not me, I am constantly physically fatigued, everything was a mental struggle, so I thought the physical fatigue was from being brain fried. I was crying loads, frustrated loads, really REALLY irritable and anxious. Everything was pointing mental health, self deletion thoughts the lot. So, got in contact with the docs, put me on antidepressants for the here and now and sent me for a blood test. Turns out I have a vitamin b12 deficiency. Symptoms? Irritability Depression Fatigue Vision loss (I thought my eyes were getting worse because of my age) Plus a few more things I can't think of off the top of my head but made perfect sense. Am now on meds as of yesterday to raise my b12 and back at work in 2 weeks. Able to come back off the antidepressants in 2 weeks once my vitamin levels raise and my mental health will sort itself out. My advice to anyone struggling mentally, get a blood test. It might be something so simple that's creating the hell you're living in. Much love to all ❤

[@thebritishbushman8389]

Suffering with Crohn's Disease myself and battling all the BS that it brings on top, Ren and this tune especially helps me so much. Auto~Immune devil van go F-itself

[@ckinahan1]

Sending love. Hope you're feeling okay friend. Happy 2024. You have a community here with you. Best from Chicago. Xo

[@wastefulungratfuls]

Fish, chips and MUSHY PEAS 😋

[@EmoGothKevin]

Bars upon bars upon bars. As always, you interpret Ren better than anyone else that I've seen. You're doing the world a service.

[@pxyfox2000]

There’s no such thing as too much Ren! Thank you for doing another Ren video… I will watch EVERY ONE YOU DO!!!

[@MissMaria1969]

[@mauraleib]

Ray I love the topics REN’s songs cause you to expound on -these discussions are so real ❤ Thank you 🙏

[@TheChristafershawn]

Ren- "Losing It" ....a must. Not too deep on this one ...just fun Tech/Hop.

[@adrianmarson6910]

You can't drop a label on this guy , he's everything plus more , he blows this 52 year old away ,with his multiple styles and realism of everything thats going on around him. Just wow 👏

[@freckles019]

Continued growth to the #vibegang community,we all need a space to help Elevate others & yes Alleviate painful times.WE are not alone is a wonderful feeling & keep on keeping on is sometimes easier said.Ren continues to use his mastery in his artistry to aid us collectively.

And another subscriber here! Love your reactions! Thank you for all the Ren love. How I found you. I haven't seen anyone react to Losing It by Ren. Have you seen that one? It's so much fun!

[@mikehalonen305]

When he grabs is chin is an ode to The Thinker by Rodin a bronze statue that's how great ren is, so intelligent lyrical he is

[@richardhuff1256]

Love the vibe in your reactions. If Losing it is not on your list it should be. Fire, fire track and its refreshing to see Ren just screwing around!

[@kv4320]

Some wise words and beautiful comments in this reaction. Thank you, Ray. All the best from Belgium

[@jessicaa.2876]

He jokingly embraces his style as “Bardcore”. He truly is a modern day bard.

[@thickmike]

Losing It is a must.

[@wastefulungratfuls]

Loosing it (Fisher retake) is predominantly about doing the deed (if ya know what i mean 😉😂) love this song its such fun from all angles 😂😂😂😂😂

[@lisawhitfield9251]

Lol, avocado 🤣 love you man, but they're mushy peas xx

[@thegingermenace8593]

Ray, you are my favorite reactor! I think you have a cutie pie personality! ❤ You make me laugh! You are fire! 🔥❤

[@jabbazabba23]

I really love Ren, but you make me appreciate him more with your level of appreciation. Sometimes I miss bars you go back on, and it helps me take in more of it. Ma man!

[@dannyp8170]

Ren - hold on. Needs to be on your list.

[@richardhanney7950]

Yes Danny great choice! That might be my favorite although its hard to decide as they're all so damn good

[@JoseCastro-ql7bf]

The green on the plate is mushy peas.

[@Well-in-the-garden]

What you call Ren is an Artist - he makes art.

[@mastertoymaker5249]

2 minute Ren video = 24 minute Vibe reaction!? I call that Value! ❤

[@tamarakindle73]

He's an ARTIST.

[@jdmmike7225]

"When he paints a picture its like Picasso on crack!" OMG LMFAO That is such a great way of seeing Ren lol. Great reaction dude🤙

[@jeremythornton3240]

Love the Ren love...

[@katemc8992]

Genius. Artistry, musicality on a cellular level.....arrived in this world spitting those cries💫❤‍🔥

[@annanelahie4782]

Again brother. Great reaction to Ren. Your words are wise.❤

[@truthseeker73]

Genius.... And love ur reaction, seriously ❤

[@Annie_MaycoxMUA]

You’ll have to listen to the live version of this it’s truly amazing

[@matthewwilliams967]

Yes Ray!!! Congrats on 50k!🎉 Ren spits pure fire…. I think I’m correct in saying Ren describes his “genre” as Bardcore. He’s one of those artists that transcends genre, he’s got it all, and more interestingly he’s bringing together people from all walks of life regardless of the divisions we as a society have created. And you’re helping to push this phenomenon, kudos bro 👊

[@cas9065]

Multigenre? Some bardcore, some pure Hip Hop, some so many other things?

[@jenniferlovelee]

Thank you Ray! What you are saying about humans and mental health is sooo true. I am a Qualified Mental Health Expert and it pains me to see people who suffer and the numbers are growing. I am no exception either. I have been suffocating from paralyzing depression. I am lost. Ren gives me hope and so do you , man.

[@StephanieEMT16]

This is one of my favorites. I listened until I knew it by heart. I literally use this a biofeedback tool for me. It’s awesome! And when he talks about “begging for a lobotomy”….. I literally asked my neurologist to do that. (He laughed, I wasn’t, but he knew I was just throwing him the extreme “fix” for it. (I had meningitis that messed up my brain and nervous system). It gets to be too much sometimes. So I loved that line and this song! 💗

[@kimmchenry4383]

One of my favorites, the song is stuck in my head for days lol

[@BoredBro2zzz]

Can tell you how much we don’t know each other yet you make me feel like with brother man awesome

[@lynette.]

He is so inspiring . So good to hear you are in a good place now.

[@Steven-rr9qs]

You have such a sweet smile, brother.

[@brendanh8357]

Nail on the head bro

[@thebritishbushman8389]

Great reaction friend. this tune along with "What you want" are my top Ren rap tunes. but again he has so many Genres all his songs are in my top 2!

[@BenSmith-gz4qo]

You think there for you are!💯What you want is a 🔥track again shows Ren's incredible versatility!!

[@Balazs-Kodmen]

Real talk👌 I love that song, straight timetraveling to the 90s🔥🔥🔥

[@charleenk71]

Love your message! It spoke to me! Thank you!!!

[@christygill1632]

Yes, he is amazingly talented! I can't get enough of his music. Really enjoy your reactions and you sharing your thoughts and insights as well!

[@dennishollibaugh8247]

The Noah bar might be my favorite of all time. ❤🔥🍻

[@MarkEdwards-uw7kf]

I call this truth music

[@dannythomas5485]

Haha you just said "NF you can't be doing that kind of shit bro!" When the beat dropped. This is REN fam! I get it tho.

[@michaeln3044]

I think what I’ve gathered from this last couple years listening to people on here is the artists that really move people have such a ridiculous freedom to them. Snow, Harry Mack, Ren…they just push and take to edge and do what the my want in art…so let this be the message, be you man. Try new stuff, push yourself, bring yourself to the edge, find freedom in your art…

[@AliCatzRR]

Had the drum and base remix of this tune on repeat much of the day today. Awesome 👌

[@heidibloom7]

I love the drum & base version too🔥

[@dustinwalker8152]

In the Hunger when Ren says, "scrap that I teach, teach over beats to all those that seek, teach on these streets" he wasn't lying.

[@Corkdogg0570]

Relax....Relax. Ren is one of them 1 of 1's

[@JohnSparksScotland]

Thanks for your great additions to the massive give from Ren and giving even more understanding to the unending depth. At 72 I have a limited understanding of the breadth of rap. I have learned a lot recently from listening both to Ren and to reactions from people who really understand rap from many different rap genres. Helping me deal with the inevitable changes of being 72 not 42, 52 or even 62. Love to all ❤

[@fourcornersofbrighton]

Not sure how I missed this one. Great reaction! I love your energy. Ren's beats are amazing! It's interesting how in the beginning, the way he separates his words in strange places makes you feel like he's out of step with the world. It's very choppy but it just adds to the song. I love it! Those are mashed peas actually...it's a UK thing lol.

[@danidenada9233]

"Mental always kicks my ass more than the physical does." Damn. That hit. From the perspective of being abused as a child, the bruises, sprains and broken bones healed, at 48yo I am still battling the mental shit tho. CPTSD is a bitch. And then the second my head felt a bit better a decade or so ago, my body turned on me... I so feel some of these lyrics. Eish. Ouch.

[@paulashanks3129]

❤😊

[@andreasmunari6462]

Ray my man. I love your energy. Your reactions are "RENTASTIC" For real you are the man. Keep it up. BTW Your Yankees hat in the background with the light blue logo is straight FIRE !!

Aaaaand I just heard you say “all the things that you thought you needed to make you happy? You never needed. “. I offer you my favourite alan watts quote on this subject. “If you don’t know what you really want, there’s only two reasons: 1) you already have it 2) you don’t know yourself

No avocado there my friend.. gods creation.. MUSHY PEAS!!

I love your reactions and how you understand Ren! Your awesome!

You are an inspiration ❤X

[@seagull01-cp8pb]

You need to see Black Pegasus take on that ‘avocado’ with the fish n chips. It inspired him enough to do a parody on his channel😁👍🦇
