MY HEAD HURTS! | Ren- Halftime (Nas Retake) ((REACTION!!!))

[@sheryljones589]

Have been waiting for you to get to this one! 😂 The rest of the Renegades have filled you in on most of the details, including the shout out to reactors. Your face is hilarious as you catch line after line. Brilliant, genuine reaction. 🫶🫶🫶

[@justme1111]

Did you catch the "a reaction super sized me" hi-Ren reactors have Ren a massive boost! And he often nods to them in songs

[@Doobbie420]

Im the waviest is also homage to Nas Nas's first mc name was kid wave

[@KarenJones-ce2no]

And Ren's 'Halftime' is exactly half the time of Nas 'Halftime' 😊

[@jolinevdk]

🤯

[@iamsquatty]

Only ren can rap about mike tyson, global warming, pirates, sailors, the bubonic plague, an atom bomb and fast food in one song and make it make sense 😂

[@kevinrobb3523]

This was released on 3/14 (and thus the pi references)

[@jolinevdk]

🤯

[@bchaps7377]

Love how Ren at some point makes us all say WTF!!!!!!

[@Nicole_Noel]

✌️❤️ Some people listen to Ren's music, but few truly hear the message. I appreciate that you understand the depth and intention behind his Art. Your authenticity shines through, and it’s clear you genuinely connect with the powerful messages he shares. Yes he is an amazing artist, but what he says is far greater❤

[@danguy1712]

Breaking Atoms from Wikipedia: 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). Breaking Atoms has been recognized as one of the most important records in hip hop history.

[@francesdoll4039]

And then Ren has the song Genesis also.

[@ines_uk]

Another cool detail about the video itself: when Ren crosses the road, the traffic light counts down to 0 exactly at the moment when he stops.

[@idiostylze]

He said it was an accident, but still awesome :)

[@enoice75]

I just love your reactions. A real character you are lol You get shit others miss and its legit how you break it all down ❤

[@twistedpixel756]

i was glad you caught so much, i've seen too many that missed it all, but i think you'll apreciate one you did miss, "like rats to the music and i'm feeding them pie, that's pie rats.." he's also bringing up the Pied Piper. And yes, he also referenced "little boy" in his most recent release.

[@MrsApplegateart]

PARKSKUR you’re my BAR dawg! Freakin’ love you catching and sharing/showing the REN’s bars… so awesome! Love your mind blown-ness (Is that a word?) eh, love your enthusiasm as usual… and how you’re catching the connects.

[@Heyboo66]

"did he mean to do that?" What do You think park?🤣 I don't know if you can take much more of this, but I'm loving it😅💙🇬🇧

[@justme1111]

Haha and released on "pie day" lol

[@TanyaQueen182]

Your face when Ren says "the Pie-Rats" was priceless!

[@Shiroar]

Ren is siiiiiick 🔥 And this was the first ad for that sick boi sweatshirt though he kept us waiting ages after this for the launch 😂 Seriously though, Ren showing love for music he loves with his ReNtakes is yet another reason to love him. Somehow he manages to be humble and show respect for other artists while spitting braggadocios bars 😅 Not quite sure how that’s even possible, but hey it’s Ren doing Ren things 🤣

[@Steve-c5j]

When this came out it took me ages to realise the letters were up one sleeve, across the back and down the other sleeve. I was trying to work out what Canadian sports team was ' CKB' 🤣🤣🤣

[@Steve-c5j]

your reactions are so rewarding - you have your surprised face which is great but at the same time you catch so many of the bars. Then when you roll back you are doing it to give your view on the meaning. Most reactors have to roll back multiple times just to hear what he said and it sometimes gets a bit tedious watching them. Never had that feeling with your reactions. Keep up the brilliant work. 👍👍👍

[@farfromheaven29]

That last wtf before the video ended made me die laughing 🤣😂🤣😂

[@JoRiceRenegade4Eva]

Awesome reaction again Parks ❤ He just keeps on blowin your mind doesn’t he!! It’s his super power 😊

[@Lemonbees]

Hook captian hook 😂

[@mmmelli]

The reactions have supersized him. Gotta love it

[@nickibridges2898]

Most reactors miss that this is an actual shout out to reaction channels 😢

[@mmmelli]

@nickibridges2898 Yes that's a shame, but I don't blame them tho. It'a a LOT to digest in one go 😊

[@nickibridges2898]

@@mmmelli I agree!! 💯 I just want them to realize that it's a 🫶 to them.

[@LouHeritage]

And apparently it was half the time as the Nas one!

[@Lynxeye-Youtube]

Simply wonderful... isn't it?!

[@Oitsugina93]

Love your breakdowns!❤ And you have a particular face when you hear Ren's naughty bars😂

[@WhatNoWhy]

Love the old school beat…great breakdown❤

[@AnotherFacelessDigitalNoOne]

I had a great time watching this! Pure gold! He raps insane and pays homage. Good guy Ren

[@Dr.Brummel]

Thanks for your reaction man 👍❤ Yes this one is full of references. Lots have already been mentioned by others. Here are some more: Ren's retake has some references, not only to Mike Tyson and the rappers Notorious B.I.G. (r.i.p. Big), Mac Miller (r.i.p. Mac), 2pac (r.i.p. pac) and Lil Peep (r.i.p. peep). - 'R.I.P Mac' is not only a reference to Mac Miller, it's also a hint to the song 'Mackay' which he released after this one. - "I'm the waviest guy" refers to Nas' former nickname 'Kid Wave'. - You noticed the Nas reference "sleep is the cousin of death". It's also a reference to 'Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst' by 'Kendrick Lamar', another rapper Ren loves. - Also, the "China without rice, Bible without Christ" was homage to The Big Picture album by Big L (from the intro). - That the traffic light just reached zero when he stops (He said it was coincidence).

[@salishseamermaid]

There's always one Ren song that makes a person's brain melt. It's fun to see which one it will be. 😂

[@mrsainsburys1]

lol loved it, you deffo know your rap history, once again I loved it thank you Sir 🙏🐊❤️🦉👍

[@frankoconnor806]

Always remember to pack a parachute 🪂 for the Ren rabbit holes. Great reaction today. Peace and Live from Australia mate

[@jenniferolson5928]

Did you notice the day he released this? 3/14....pi 3.14

[@aleciapalmisano5923]

Love pirate line and the supersize me and with respects to all the greats love this ❤❤❤🫶

[@garysherwin3316]

Love your enthusiasm bro 🎉 🇬🇧

[@debthecpn]

Bloody great breakdown Park. ❤

[@user-ym8mo1bu7e]

Did u see he released the track on Pi day too????? 😂😂

[@BrianL-ki9pn]

To show the detail of Ren's genius this song was released on 3/14!

[@darkmatter6714]

He said: “Rap without Ren is like a skull without a brain, dude, Or like a feminist with no one to complain to…” they censored it of course. This was released on Pi day and is exactly half the length of Nas’s half time. Did you notice the musical changes? Drum roll at the beginning and the guitar riffs and licks on the beat throughout?

[@MizCriz46]

I think it was bleeped because there's a bleep in Naz's original. Parkskur mentioned that Naz bleep & very little is unintentional from Ren.

[@marenrausch80]

loooooved your reaction Park!!!

[@helenjarvis7755]

Yes, I love this one ❤

[@jmango2636]

I loved this reaction 😊

[@im2yz4u17]

Parkskur, you are seriously one of the only people to mention the line "rats bring the buebonic flow". Most people miss that.

[@jolinevdk]

Ok, wow. You've opened my eyes to this track and the insane lyrics. As someone who doesn't know rap and hiphop or even who Nas is, this one flew over my head. Your breakdown really helped me appreciate what Ren did here! Thanks Parker!

[@Heyboo66]

Love this one🇬🇧💙

[@user-ym8mo1bu7e]

Yay 🙌 at last!!!! Can’t wait to watch your reaction 😂😂😂😂😘

[@LiamsPenrose]

He just explained nuclear fusion

[@ThereWasATime]

Thank you for the awesome analysis Parker! This one wasn't on my playlist but now I can enjoy it way more!

[@jonathanspeight4726]

Pimping my pain. Check Ren and Prof, pain salesmen.

[@rveino2978]

🔥❤️🔥

[@RENfan1265]

You are the second reactor that caught the bubonic plague., This dropped on 3/14 Pi day, It's half of the time of the original, reactor supersize me, I thought you were gonna catch that. I think you thought there was something there. As always great reaction!

[@Irmelinis]

You're awesome at picking up lyrical meanings and patterns 🤩

[@d3wop]

I love your reactions. 🔥🔥🔥

[@optimistinmyprime]

Nuclear… reactors 😁

[@optimistinmyprime]

That was awesome thanks Parker 😂❤

[@SophieChell]

Check the crossing light behind him at the pirate line. the timing is spot on, can't be a coincedence.

[@payntpot7623]

It was. It was one of Ren's serendipitous moments. Like the globe stopping on central/south america after he mentions cuba in MG3.

[@angeladRobiNs]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@Stewart-m7i]

It was exactly half the time as the Nas original. Seems like another Ren track that fried your Brain. WTF indeed!

[@tahinia888]

🔥🔥🔥

[@MoniCharli677]

definitely one of my favorites, but please please please listen tO REN & Queen CHINCHILLA “Drunk in love” mashup 🎉🎉🎉🎉 😊

[@bettyroyer4853]

I discovered Icarus and especially Behind Icarus, strange that it's not well known, it's really very funny, with Goran playing Jim Morrison!

[@juliestaunton3080]

❤🔥

[@KMac70-Rex]

🔥

[@abbymathews5088]

❤❤❤❤❤😉

[@andrewf3746]

Released on March 14th. pie day. . 3.14. Rens a genius . Easter eggs lol

[@AJMartínezVal]

There are so many layers to Ren's lyrics, but one that I don't see people getting is that when he says "When pressure makes a rhyming diamond, this was by design, ya know an isotope, a proton and a neutron in the nucleus And split an atom in a fraction, a reaction supersize..." he's also saying that the pressure makes him write his songs that then produce these big reactions, like yours, bro. Ren has always been very grateful to his reactors.

[@pirada74]

❤✌

[@dave.james007]

👍👍✌️

[@nicolefagala3270]

😂😂😂❤ikr

[@woodywoodman2319]

He said Effinist... starting with an F!! All the comaparisons came from comments on Nas's comment section... a post saying: Rap without Nas is like: !!!

[@darkmatter6714]

BTW, you absolutely MUST do Swan Song as a natural follow up to this (Ren fans will know what I mean 😉)

[@oistroplex]

Do we need to get you a heart rate monitor? I was worried for a second. How does it feel to be on the same wavelength as the greatest artist of our time? I suggested you look at this at the same time as Bittersweet Symphony. Both one shot. Both Ren walking along a street. Both have him crossing a street. Both have him stopping with his hands folded. And the same length (give or take a few seconds). It's a different level of genius.

[@LiamsPenrose]

Think pirex is a wavey cloud formation aswell

[@nrsvlda70]

Not only WTF… it’s even more so when you realize it was released on 3/14 - Pi Day! And.. as always.. it was a one take!. Also, if you look back and pause when he stops after crossing the street.. you can see that the ‘walk/wait’ sign is at 0. He said in one of his videos that they didn’t plan that.. it was just a coincidence!! So yes… WTF!!

[@Lou-xq9br]

🩷🤍🖤

[@payntpot7623]

Yes, he used the "F" word, but not the one you think. He blanked out "Feminist" The list of descriptions of China without rice, Vindaloo without spice, the Bible without Christ etc.... come from the comment section of Halftime on Nas' channel.

[@mojowebs]

So is Em still your favorite rapper?

[@jenniferboe]

Hey!!! Did you see youre highlighted in this reactors video? About 3 minutes in! 😅 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eH6XiZSlZc9nndUsi=viG82kNkcsTFtgqf

[@Sheilla357]

Ren spent 1/2 the time on Halftime and yet spouted almost as many words as NAS. Ren 2x the words as Nas in 1/2 the time.....the censored word is "feminist" - Pirate section is a nod to Nas' "Kid Wave" persona when he started. so Yeah... Ren

[@gavinwilson2071]

Missing word is feminist

[@stiofanocorra3403]

;Feminist' was the f word

[@yonahgrossman7319]

The renegades went to the mats to find out the answer, and astonishingly, it was WAY down on the comments of the original Nas track. Someone wrote, "What is hiphop without Nas?" and there were over a hundred replies and 4 of them in a row, which Ren MUST HAVE read, said, @aileraguilar3976 Hockey without ice @mezzlobeefaroni7761 China without rice @aileraguilar3976 The bible without christ and then several lines down, "A feminist with no one to complain to." Ren decided his mom and sister wouldn't appreciate the line, and blurred it.
