Hauntingly Beautiful! Ren - Troubles First Time Reaction

[@davidperkins6752]

i got you bro, "....if you don't like it, you can suck it". we come here for your reaction. the clue is literally in the title! i feel like it shouldn't need saying but here we are i guess, if you want to watch Ren uninterrupted, www.youtube.com/@RenMakesMusic . you're welcome! 🙂🙂🙂

[@ola_q_ace]

👏👏👏

[@erwynator]

First time I've heard of Ren. He's got raw talent, vast vocabulary, his delivery is fresh. Has poetic content, unlike most "rappers" especially in mainstream rap/"hip hop" these days. Thanks for the Ren reaction, guys 🤙🏾

[@stranger2Utube]

OMG you're in for a ride then. Go down the rabbit hole, you have no idea what you'll encounter. Start with Hi Ren. I envy you. If you do I'd appreciate if you shared your thoughts here. P. S. Don't watch if KZbin recommends you tale of Jenny, tale of Screech or tale of Violet, don't watch them separately, there is one long video in witch al the songs are played in the correct order, called "The tale of Jenny and Schreech"

[@erwynator]

@@stranger2Utube thanks for the heads up! I'm an old school real hip hop head and over the years slowly steered away from the genre (not completely, but close though). The scene in 90's till about the early 2010s was amazing, then it seemed to have phased out during the mid 2010's at least in my opinion. it's refreshing to see that there still meaningful hip hip being put out. Anyway, I will be back here to share my thoughts regarding those tracks you mentioned. Thanks again and have a peaceful day 🤙🏾

[@rodentpete]

Ren was a '90's kid so that's where a lot of his rap influences come from.

[@MissMeKate]

​@@erwynator If you want a 'fun' Ren track where he is just paying homage to the culture, What You Want is an old school Beastie Boys tribute that takes it right back. Not his cleverest track but so nostalgic of proper boom bap hip hop.

[@Killermcknight]

He’s in a league of his own! Completely unique artist with an insane amount of talent and the ability to bring people together and make people THINK and FEEL. So glad you gave him a chance by listening to him for the first time. If you continue to listen to him, you will not be disappointed at all.

[@JulitaPio]

Let's say this is for Ren and for all people are "missing" 😊❤

[@jules3048]

You need to watch his chapters. He talks in detail about what he went thru and this song means more after that I think.

[@bonnieg4768]

Thanks for this, really enjoyed it. I would highly suggest you watch the chapters for sure. I know you both think so much of Ren. Some of his life story you will know but some of it will blow you away hearing it read and put together in such a concise way. Ren could make a movie about his life. Warning though, be prepared to spend some time with it. Its tough but beautiful and you'll never listen to his music the same way again. You will have all the emotions, it may get to where you dont want to watch anymore around the middle of the chapters but keep going, its worth it and you need to go to the ending to have closure. Its just beautiful.

[@Killermcknight]

Thanks for the heads up! Definitely planning on watching!

[@helenjarvis7755]

He is still stuck with a handful of foods he can eat But he trusts the treatments his Canadian doctor has designed for him. His recent musical success has helped him pay for it. Its not cheap but health is everything

[@garysherwin3316]

Here for your reaction f**k the haters 🇬🇧😊

[@Killermcknight]

♥️🤘🏻

[@robmarar]

@@Killermcknight I agree F the haters, I ❤how real the two of you are & how Taylor truly wears her heart on her sleeve. Oh BTW the "There's relief in the teeth, at the kiss of cold steel" line, wasn't a metaphor of him contemplating ending his own life. Ren was telling us of the time he actually cut himself (self harm), he goes into detail about it in chapter 4, I think. If you do go through Ren's chapters; even though I've already watched all of them, I would probably watch them again with both of you. There's nothing like a shared experience of a gripping story. ✌❤.

[@Killermcknight]

Thanks for that!

[@REN4eva]

@@robmararI totally agree 💯!

[@jameslowther9792]

Please listen to the chapters that Ren put out because it gives you such a descriptive picture of his life during his illness and his reference to cold steel in the song Troubles actually relates to him self harming when he cut into his chest with glass just to be able to feel something other than the numbness he was experiencing.

[@1tommymulligan]

About to post same tilli saw this

[@michaelphipps8647]

Ren's story of Survival, Hope and Victory!

[@mldkenny]

Great reaction and detailed thoughts are appreciated. Ren never disappoints. Your channel is brilliant and your support for Ren and associated issues are brilliant.

[@MalcolmMXTaylor]

love your reactions to all of rens music! you have a deep understanding of his journey and your love of his talent is clear to see. ren says this track has a chance of reaching the uk charts (maybe this weekend) so who knows lets see! it would be amazing if it does

[@jasonklenetsky5687]

Ren said that this song was a bit of a final chapter to the whole Sick Boi album, even though it came out a bit later.

[@clockworkpink]

thank you for reacting and supporting Ren!

[@Killermcknight]

Of course!!

[@yilomina2047]

I love this one, it's such an important message. Side note: I don't recommend pulling up subtitles for any of Ren's songs - they're rarely accurate. Instead, maybe pull up the lyrics on an alternate device that you can have off to the side? That way you can still reference the lyrics, which I know is helpful, without the distraction on the screen.

[@deaniegarcia5694]

REN Posted the lyrics under his song 💜

[@jasonklenetsky5687]

The chapters will be tough to take in. He puts it ALL out there. Thankfully, it’s a story of hope and reaching the light on the other end. Bring tissues

[@stranger2Utube]

OMG you just introduced somebody new to Ren (erwynbalbuena's comment), that's awesome ❤

[@Killermcknight]

Love when that happens!! 🫶🏻

[@woodywoodman2319]

For those who haven't yet... ya Gotta watch his story... all 8 chapters! (Must watch his life story, in 8 chapters, in his Troubles playlist!) His lyrics are Truly His Story... clawed at the laminate... I mean Come On Man!!!

[@Daffodil-Grace]

Thank you for this. Peace and love.

[@Killermcknight]

🫶🏻

[@reactivereplays5666]

I'm glad you get to react to Ren with your girl! She really gets Ren like the rest of the Renegades, I have watched her in many Ren reactions... 8:40 I am a 35 year old man and I too am crying like her. I'm not saying you don't get it but, you get to see the way the rest of us feel and connect to Ren and his music...

[@Petergreen1]

If you do the 8 chapters you will go through every emotion you have ever felt you will laugh cry be sad be happy and many more ❤

[@Zepherian]

It's one of his simplest songs, but has one of the most important messages of hope. I've had my troubles with these sort of ailments, although perhaps not at the degree of his Lyme, mine are still hard to deal with, and sometimes it's hard living in a body at war with itself, physically and mentally tired without actually doing anything, and instead of help people, even the ones closest to you, calling you lazy and a bum. But you grit your teeth and deal with it. It does not help that many of these conditions are not really well studied by science, and quite a few of them are caused by it, in the interest of taking a rent cheque out of a chronically ill person's body. Yes, I said it. But hey, nobody promised anyone an easy life, and you live with what you have and try to make it better. These sort of things need knowledge, determination and time and many people will indeed get to a better place. Hope and faith in yourself is the way to deal with these slow burn diseases. Eventually you'll figure it out and live the right way to feel better.

[@Killermcknight]

I’m sorry for the things you e had to go through. You seem to have a positive outlook and attitude about it, and that can make all the difference in the world. People are ignorant to things they know nothing about, or things they haven’t personally gone through themselves. Bringing attention and awareness helps that. ♥️

[@Zepherian]

@@Killermcknight It's a mix of positivity, being negative will only make things worse, and also the subtle nature of chronic fatigue and intolerances. What Ren went through was undoubtedly worse, his condition seems more acute and harsh. But that's the thing, sometimes the problem is there, it's subtle to the point you're not fully aware you have it and yet it's still limiting your quality of life. So yes, these sort of conditions, from Lyme to Gluten intolerances need to be studied, as well as the link with the neurological side, where you have the autism epidemic probably linked to the root causes of these modern diseases. And there are many, from Vaccines to Dentistry. From genetics to processed food toxicity. I'm guessing sometimes it's more than one vector unbalancing a given person, so you can't even get to one easily isolated root cause and have someone damaged by several. I think that's my case. I guess my conclusion is we need to find a natural balance again, and that balance won't be the exact same thing for everyone. Hopefully you guys don't have any of these problems, they suck! But I'm ok, I'm not a young guy so this thing didn't kill me and in the last few years I've identified causes and am doing quite a bit better than before. Thx for the reply.

[@sejbomb]

Honestly, as others have mentioned, the chapters explain so much. The good, the bad and the damn right ugly. 😢

[@AlSnoopsReid]

There are songs at the end of each of the Chapters so they are worth watching for those alone. His story though, was such a struggle. PLEASE watch them! Nice to see you guys back! P.S. the lyrics are posted under the song in the comments.

[@Killermcknight]

Thanks!

[@lysfleming3331]

Good reaction. Ren is so important.

[@stacey37m]

Ren is about saving lives, including his own. He is so important too so many like myself who are living with mental health Issues .

[@lisac243]

He just makes me want to hug 🤗 him

[@sunshynff]

You weren't aggressive at all, you've been "busy with life", we all knew what you meant by that, while the details are different for everybody, the one thing we all know for sure, life can kick your ass sometimes, so it's your channel, your journey, and you two finally got a small recess to watch a Ren video, you do so as you see fit and we'll be here to watch and support you-n-the channel!! Oh, one more thing, watching the 8 chapters on a live stream sounds awesome, I just wanted to say, while it's a tragic and heartbreaking story, it's also a beautiful story, full of perseverance and hope. Just saying it hits deep, and if you two want to experience that on your own, do NOT feel obligated to react to it, which ever you choose, we'll respect and support that, I think that's safe to say on the part of most Renegades. ✌💚

[@Killermcknight]

Thank you so much for this wonderful comment. Very sweet and supportive ♥️

[@francesdoll4039]

He was going to self harm. The Chapters explain all of this in great detail.

[@idiocracyunfolding9053]

Much love ❤

[@AnotherFacelessDigitalNoOne]

Renegades that support Ren get subs. Love you guys 💙💙💙

[@Killermcknight]

♥️♥️

[@frankquinn6872]

A lovely reaction. The “kiss of cold steel” line I believe is a reference to self harm (and echos the line in the Nine Inch Nails / Johnny Cash song “Hurt” - “ I hurt myself today, to see if I still feel”. ) Also you never need to apologise for how you react to a song. Some reactors don’t stop / say anything until the end of a song; some stop after every line. There are enough reaction channels out there to suit everyone’s preference so you do what suits you. 👍

[@Killermcknight]

Thank you so much for this comment 🙏🏻♥️

[@NoraMorgan]

I like the idea of doing it on a livestream.

[@Killermcknight]

Awesome!

[@rudyb.]

It’s better to view the Chapters on your own cuz it’s very personal then listen to the song again. It’s a very powerful journey. Thanks for Supporting our Sick Boi.

[@Scotty_S29]

Great reaction! Would definitely watch your “Chapters” reactions. Much love from the UK 🧡

[@bardown7628]

Absolutely, chapters must hear

Hello 👋 I'm new but I want to say thank you for reacting to this video! I'm a big renegade and he is my favorite. I'm proud of what he did here. ❤

[@stranger2Utube]

Great reaction. Taylor starting to cry gets me every time. ❤Of course do Chapters.

[@Killermcknight]

♥️♥️

[@Jason_xofilos]

On RenMakesStuff I would watch the Missing chapters (8 of them) which will help the context of Troubles. But these are REN’s personal life which he providing to help others. Just react as you have done to this song. Thank you, both of you for your reaction.

[@satyasunshine9737]

YES,please,a livestream!!!🫶🥰💜🩵💛🩷🙏🫂🫂🫂🫂☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️

[@michaelbradley7529]

Extra points to Taylor for the speed reading. 😉

[@DonutCockapoo]

You have to react to the chapters - it is eye opening and a rollercoaster but worth every minute…… it also brings total context to the songs he ends the chapters with …..

[@Josherson]

I ❤ Ren

[@stevecrisell108]

REN Is Bardcore.

[@Pirate_tat87]

Are you guys planning on going back and watching all the other songs you have missed so far? maybe have another Ren week like you did last year

[@ahmadwibowo4446]

Don't forget to always support y Gaess @Stephan & Queen Taylor..

[@Killermcknight]

♥️♥️

[@RippedPixels]

You guys need to do “losing it”!!!

[@chrisbeleski5913]

The carving a hole in his chest is a reference to an actual self harm incident that he recounts in chapters. You should watch chapters but be warned, it is deeply personal. Some reactors have chosen not to do them and I can see why. Great video! I'm always excited when you guys pop up on my feed.

[@Killermcknight]

It definitely seems like they’re very deep and personal and like we may have a hard time listening to them. Thank you for the warning. We’re definitely going to watch them, still unsure if we’re going to do it on our own or a live stream.

[@ginamakescrochet]

❤❤❤

[@DandelionCollab]

Good. I like it when a reactor doesn't tell me what the video means. Tell me how it makes you FEEL, how you react to it, what it means to you. Even a technical analysis can do this. Thanks for letting us feel with you.

[@jakefinn9846]

I’d genuinely love to see you guys react to Lester J Allen - “30 pills gldies band” or even “Olanzipine “ both great songs with a very real internal battle or scroobius pip - magicians assistant

[@michaelbradley7529]

I think doing all the chapters would be an interesting watch.

[@noelward1367]

Hi there! I'd really recommend watching the Chapters on your own, but not necessarily reacting to them. They are Ren's personal story, so reacting to that would be kind of weird. I think the only room for reaction to the Chapters is if you have gone through something similar and have points to add about chronic illness, or if you can make a link between his story and his creative process.

[@rveino2978]

🔥🔥🔥

[@kathleenwincott5581]

Must agree about subtitles they are not accurate. Please watch the chapters - it's an accurate timeline also moments of humour. Good reaction ❤

[@petrasandberg1328]

Dank jullie voor deze reactie , ik stuit in mijn leven zo vaak op onbegrip over dat ik veel niet kan doen wegens pijn en moeheid , ik heb fibromyalgia en vandaag een zeer slechte dag .

[@Killermcknight]

So very sorry to hear that 🫶🏻

[@grahambullman]

I love the reactions you guys do, and know you are big supporters of Ren. My personal feeling is that the chapters should be watched by all his fans, but kept away from reactions. Keep up the great work.

[@donald1379]

This was incredible Ren must be protected...thanks guys good seeing you always great reactions❤❤.

[@woodywoodman2319]

Don't think Queeny could handle the chapters! Beyond difficult to hear!

[@christinatuazon5180]

Hi! Can u guys react to Julie Anne San Jose, the Asia's Limitless star of the Philippines hehe she's an amazing singer, dancer, rapper, plays instruments and an actress I promise you it's worth watching her. Godbless po.

[@celinel9750]

PLZ DON'T react to the Chapter, it is so intimit, Ren is giving us his heart and soul and their is nothing to ''comment and react'' to it. Watch it, feel it, share the song and download it. IMO reacting to the chapter is indiscretion.

[@MissMeKate]

Thank you for helping spread awareness by sharing this track. I hope this charts and gets people talking. He is such a light in the dark. ❤

[@Killermcknight]

Couldn't agree more! It’s our pleasure to help get his music out there! ♥️

[@AndrewJonesMcGuire]

You definitely need to watch the chapters. Whether you watch them on your own or with us - is your decision. Just know there has been a lot of debate among the reactor community about whether it's right to react to the chapters - everyone obviously did with Chapter 1 - but after that, a lot were questioning whether they should. I can see both sides of the argument, but the reason a lot are thinking it's not right to react is because it's Ren's story and it's deeply personal, and there isn't really much to add - and in some cases adding your own thoughts kind of takes away from his story. Each chapter does have a song at the end though, which you could react to - after you have watched all the chapters on your own, and if it's a live stream, you can always give your thoughts on all the chapters after you have privately watched them. But like I said - it's up to you.

[@chezzacollinson6938]

It's feels very wrong for anyone to do the Chapters. It's Rens story.

[@luisrivera3056]

You ruined the end of the song by wanting to talk so much Mr. Pointing out the obvious.. smh! Its reaction not interaction.

[@Killermcknight]

How many times have you heard this song? It was our first so obvious to me it wasn't. You can never please everyone unfortunately but our reaction is ours so if you don't like it make your own

[@luisrivera3056]

@@Killermcknight He talks too much.

[@4Saken4ever]

Narcissist, guy thinks he's the only one with a sad story.....just replaying what we already know, rinse and repeat.......fed up listening to it,

[@Killermcknight]

Really sad to hear you feel that way. I do not think he thinks he’s the only one with a sad story. I think music is his outlet to make him feel better, and also for others like him to feel seen and heard. Good thing is, you don’t have to listen to him if you don’t want to.

[@williamparrish9954]

your wrong about Ren he Spreading awareness in hope someone going through something find it and help them in some way let them know there not alone

[@Caseyd1966]

I'm sorry you feel this way. Ren actually has many songs that aren't about his illness. He has said this song is the full stop - the ending - to Sick Boi . I guess you didn't watch the whole video, because he is using this particular song to raise awareness of the struggles of people living with conditions such as Lyme, ME, and other autoimmune disorders, as well as to bring some hope to those suffering. It's actually a very hopeful, uplifting, empowering song. He has said his next album - Slaughterhouse - will be completely different, guitar & piano based. ❤

[@helenjarvis7755]

He promised the other people who are ill that he would support their fight if ever in a position to. He is keeping a promise because he has integrity and empathy

[@broughy23]

Ren couldn't be further from a narcissist. Atleast learn what words actually mean before using them
