THIS DUDE IS AMAZING! | Ren - "SEVEN SINS" | Reaction

[@robmarar]

The University Of Ren is a better institution then most schools in North America. When listening to Ren you gain a higher vocabulary, knowledge in social studies, political science and a bit of Theology thrown in there as well. Thank God for Ren, for giving the world entertaining knowledge. 😍🙏🔥🔥

[@teardrop-in-a-fishbowl]

I wouldn't say Rens views on what's going wrong are exceptional, because they aren't. Many people see the world like him, but not many of them can describe it like him! Besides his religious remarks he speaks my mind in many ways, his ways. It's refreshing having him in this "music world", where hits have short legs and are lyrically "nuffinburger". Not that many artists take the risk and speak out. Because restricted by their labels what to say and having developed a self-censoring mind, they became "useful idiots" but rich. It's like our corporate media (here more than there tho), how "the things" are presented, following narratives only and not mirroring "the whole truth" our shared reality provides.

than* ;) I'm really just teasing

[@staceyshaffer180]

So true!

[@nestorthejester]

I was telling my wife last night one of the great things about Ren is he’s in his 30’s with the wisdom of someone in their 60’s because of what he’s been through and also the attitude of someone in their 20’s sometimes because he’s just now getting to live them. Watching him get so much joy out of something as simple as flying a drone around then his next post floors you with wisdom about life. I wish he had a tv channel I could cancel all my subscriptions and just watch that.

[@PlymouthLad76]

Yup, ren was kind of on pause for ten years so is now releasing all of his 20 year old energy and he often looks in his 20s. Amazing ❤

[@rbbea]

The image you painted of Ren’s excitement flying a drone makes me remember my daughter being stuck in bed for years from age 14 with a chronic illness, having a day with energy and me taking her out to teach her how to ride a bike. The pure joy from something so simple! And then her excitement one day finding the make-up section of a department store…like a child at Christmas!

[@rachellenoir2072]

You just made me tear up. My story parallels Rens in a lot of ways, and your comment helped me feel better about how I’m perceived now! ❤

[@geofthompson3844]

Every once in a while someone comes along that changes the game and Ren is that guy for our time. He's starting conversations and making people think differently. And the music is next level too. And being independent gives him the freedom to pull no punch.

[@Mark-om3cl]

How is this album only £4.99 on iTunes. Ren that’s sick boi. I woulda paid 14.99 for it and he would deserve every penny of it. The albums on repeat in my car.

[@quantumsymbiote5469]

After listening to the entire album 8 times now, I can't say that I have a favorite track so far, but this is definitely one of the ones I like most off of the album because it sets the tone for the rest of it. The entire album is this good. I'm honestly glad that I am able to be alive in this moment, and able to witness an artistic legend tell his story. He will undoubtedly go down as a legend, not only for his penmanship, but for his production and his ability to bring his songs to life through visual artesrty that no one else is doing.a

6 and 7 = 13. The numbers 7 and 13 played a big role in this song. Great reaction! Always enjoy hanging with ya. Lotsa love from Texas y'all.

[@estcoachgreg]

I think 6s and 7s is also a British idiom for confused, chaos. They use it in football a lot. Like- "the defense was at 6s and 7s".

[@DominiqueVanheusden]

And 6 times 7=42. Which is the answer to everything according to “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” book.

[@dxrkness4802]

"66 followed by 6 and 7" 666 6+7=13 "Lucky number 13, just my luck" 13 has a lot of significance to Ren and I absolutely love when he writes lines like that

[@Bent_not_Broke]

1st - I'm a HUGE, long-time fan of you guys. Sorry, I don't comment or like enough. 😢 2nd - I love you guys ❤😂! But... I absolutely LOVE your reaction style with Ren, specifically breaking down the lyrics as you go, it's very unique. I don't seem to remember if this is a new technique you use or always. I'll have to replay some older reactions that I love. I think it makes you stand out from other reactors, for my personal taste. Of course each reactor has their own vibe that suits all my moods. I guess you guys help me feel the song/artist on a deeper level. Rens beats are usually bangers, but there's so much more in his writing. THANK YOU!! ❤

[@marianneszijj]

Ren said the beginning part is his eulogy in Welsh. And yes, he is SO dope!! Thank you both for showcasing his music! Wonderful break-down and commentary as always! Can’t wait for you to see Money Game 3! Seven Sins is an epic way to open an epic album! I really hope he hits it a number 1 cause he has worked so damn hard and is SOOOO talented; it’s crraazzzy!!! 💔❤️‍🩹♥️

@@djmoon8373 that will never happen in today's world. Record labels would never let that happen. It's a small miracle he reached no. 1 in the UK

[@djmoon8373]

@@dargis49 Lol, I was joking, I am aware that it would not happen. I would not however, call his debut at #1 in the UK as a "small miracle". While #1 is a huge deal, the fact is that the music industry is changing, and because of sites like KZbin & Spotify, etc, Independent Artists have more avenues to get their music out there these days, and as a result, they hjave been popping up on the charts more and more often. Again, #1 is amazing, but the way the landscape is changing, it won't be the last time we see it.

[@Rob-2887]

Watching you two react & break down songs somehow makes me appreciate those songs more than I initially did. Your love for the music is contagious.

[@mikep83]

Awesome reaction guys, you always 100% get the lyrics and meaning if not you check it and that makes you understand just how good he is. I see some rectors just take the surface level of the song and they’re missing out. Well done for putting in the extra effort and thank you. Money Game 3 will blow you away. Please do it soon.

I like the way you guys react, analyze and breakdown a song. Also, I appreciate that you look up stuff you don't know on your own, and not just ask viewers to write it down in the comments. Others are either lazy, or just can't think of a better way on how to get in to the algorithm. You guys do it old school. Much appreciated! Absolutely love this joint, you can hear the intent in the voice, the lyrics, the beat and the production. This song didn't need the distraction of a video, it was meant to be heard. The choice of it being the introductory song of the album is spot on! This is the first song I heard him sing in Welsh, and I love it! I couldn't blame you asking if that's a spell lol It was so cool the way it was musically put together. What an intro! What a song! What an artist..

The Seraphim also have 6 wings and are described as the "firey" angels that surround G-d as He sits on His throne. They are the highest choir (level) of angels. Also, Matin Luther - you have MLK, but I personally think he is more so referencing Martin Luther who was a German Theologian responsible for the Protestant Reformation, and also the founder of the Lutherine religion. Martin Luther is credited as one of the most influential historical figures in Christianity. Though, I'm sure its also meant as a double with MLK, who as all know, just wanted peace and harmony among all regardless of race, religion, creed, etc - which seems to be a topic of a lot of Ren's writings. Harmony and peace - understanding and enlightenment. Just a few other things I picked up from that section. Also, Eric Clapton has a song called Tears From Heaven - about the loss of his son. And with Hendrix, yes, Voodoo Child, and the voodoo doll which requires you to stick pins in it to use, and Hendrix was also a user of hero*n, so again, quite possible a double with the use of needles. Hope you guys are more than well! Ren is absolutely amazing. Always enjoy hearing yall's thoughts! Blessings from Bama!

[@freddyhochauf9489]

I TELL YOU what this dudes doin!! 😂 He produces a track. Then he does 5 remixes of it and THEN he shrinks those 6 tracks back into one. So essentially you hear the remix of the track in the track. Its practically a remix of itself in itself. 😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

As being Welsh myself its nice he put the Welsh Language on his song xx💓

[@iNSANE0621]

7 is also the number of completion. So, essentially, he's saying that the devil causes the cycle of completion through pain, anger, and violence. If you pair that with prophets being killed while fantasizing about heaven, its saying this existence we are in is dominated and marked by pain and suffering and those who date to make it better will be taken out so the hate can continue and consume. And our life's completion is marred by suffering and anguish and violence when we die, be it from violence from another, an accident, or health failing. All are painful and violent.

Eternal parallax = constantly shifting perspective (that’s how I’m interpreting it at least; pain is an enemy, a captor, but it’s also a teacher, etc etc, depending on perspective)

i love RENs music so much! and listening to such a dope song and a dope artist for the first time is amazing! ty

[@roowithers]

Parallax.. simply awesome word , whatever your looking at changes perspective as you move around it, it doesn’t change itself, your perception of it changes as more information about it comes into view. When one eye witness describes his view, snap, take a picture of it. Another person from another view point snap, take a picture of it. Add a third , fourth , go above go below, all completely different pictures of an object that doesn’t change. Yet every single person will describe a different object.

[@feedthemonkey83]

I am a big fan of Eminem since many years, and I would still in General say Eiminem is the measuring stick of Rap artists, but to be honest... At least with this track Ren is in same level if not even above. Why? First if all his lyrics are even more thought through and complex than eminems, second Ren is not only a great Rapper, but also an awesome singer. He is heavily involved in the beats, he plays several instruments himself and also he is awesome at making low budget high qulity music Videos. Kanye level? Kanye has to come up to Ren level I would say.

[@FlawdTV]

I love Ren but saying he's better than Eminem and Kanye is crazy.

[@fredatkins5890]

[@ianrosie4431]

Dear God! If this is what is being captured, imagine what is going into the ether.

[@mysteriousfigure3808]

The Eternal Parallax line refers to him having to observe his own reality of living with the sickness CONSTANTLY from different perspectives ETERNALLY, as long as he lives and breathes since that is the only way he can manage to not keep living with rage and depression over his own fate of being cursed to live in that broken body (and sometimes mind)... so the Eternal Parallax is basically a metaphor for trying to live life by looking at different perspectives to help you come to terms and accept your own/his own (and our own) sometimes miserable existences because that is the only way to accept your life circumstances especially if you have to hurt physically and mentally every day of your life. By looking at things from a different angle (Parallax) you might more easily accept and be content with your life. But it takes a lot of pain, experience and in the end - wisdom, to learn to accept everything you're given in life.

8:26 Close, but no cigar: The Nobel (Peace) Prize is named after Alfred Nobel. He was a Swedish chemist, engineer, inventor, businessman, and philanthropist. He is known for creating dynamite as well as having bequeathed his fortune to establish the Nobel Prize. He also made several important contributions to science, holding 355 patents in his lifetime. Nobel's most famous invention was dynamite, an explosive using nitroglycerin; it was patented in 1867.
