HE BROKE IT ALL DOWN!!! | Ren | SEVEN SINS | Rapper REACTION | & COMMENTARY

[@SlaterHorticultural]

Do more ren reactions please. you really understand lyrics, music, cinematography etc. this is rare in reactors, and ren personifies all of these and more. It's very rewarding to watch.

[@auburnstanchannel3884]

Totally agree 1000%

[@kimberlyelizabeth6052]

I just finished binging all your Ren reactions. I am smiling so big right now!!!😁😁😁 I can't wait till you see the rest of the Sick boi album and then the older ones like ready for you and heretic 🥰🫠 Ren is more than special❤

[@MissyGail4eva]

Had to chime in for the fourth 😊

[@lisac243]

I spent at least 2 years living from my couch because I couldn’t handle the stairs to my room. I get it. Ren speaks for us in a way that expresses our pain and helps us heal. So many struggle in silence 🤐

[@im2yz4u17]

In an interview, Ren smiled when 'Urukai Master Plan' was mentioned and was excited someone heard it. He apparantly loves Lord of the Rings since he references the books in various songs. I feel this is a reference to the Nazi master plan as was writtin in LOTRO. Saruman wanted a master race of warriors to do his dirty work in Middle Earth. A reference to evil and associated various sins.

[@SandyKaye06]

The beginning is welsh and translates to: Illness is my teacher It broke my smile My bones feel old Here lies the body of Ren Great reaction. Can't wait to see more reactions from Ren's Sick Boi album.

[@pauzeandrewind]

Thanks for this!

[@Oitsugina93]

80/20...wise words from a young man! Part of the reason I am loving and cannot wait for more of your Ren journey. ❤

[@ricksurratt9034]

Amen

[@iamlpinthe312]

YES! 30 years with my husband and I just learned SO much my mind is spinning. Ren has given us his art and has us thinking and feeling…

[@Tequila_Mockingbird.]

I listened to your, lust, 80-20 percent theory, with a cynically raised eyebrow but it was actually very insightful. More people should hear and pay attention to that, it would save a lot of heartache. Also I'm very much enjoying your reactions! ❤‍🔥

[@robert_5974]

That 80/20 convo was actual enlightening. That is something I feel I know but I've never experienced anyone breaking it down in that way. 🔥🔥🔥 Ren said Money Game 3 was his greatest video and Seven Sins is possibly the greatest song he ever wrote to date. I think it was a masterpiece and is a great listen every time. Great reaction!!

[@Codex7777]

Forensic (For Ren's sick). Genius! :)

[@Mookeedo]

Crime scene For Ren Sic. Forensic 🔥

[@pauzeandrewind]

Oh shiii....🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@kevinwarren3724]

FIRE 🔥

[@iamsquatty]

The "envy, when one mans win becomes another mans frenzy" always blows me away. He is just so profound and clever in his lyricism and wordsmithery 😊💜

[@Turntablist_Mk2]

This is track 1 on the album and Ren knew this would be the first exposure to him in alot of cases. So he did a short version of his 13 yr journey through pain, being faced with death and his spiritual experiences. One thing u will learn as u do more of his music is that while most artists go for all "sonically pleasing" sound design, he prefers to use alot more character driven tone changes like aggression for e.g to deliver messages. Lots of subtle bars are hard to pick up on like (forensic being for-ren-sick) and the depth of the lyricism in every song always starts conversations. You're gonna be in the top 3 reactors in no time, because u have the mind and the skillset. Enjoyed your reaction alot bro. I would love the hear u do the "Money Game" series by Ren, imo they are the most important 3 songs i've heard in decades. The first is live and took 180ish takes, the 2nd is a lyric video (covid era) and the 3rd is his biggest video production thus far. The messaging in these songs is beyond words i can use to describe them.

[@yilomina2047]

He has done the Money Game series - his reactions were great, you should check them out!

[@robert_5974]

I was about to say he did all 3 already. I've watched lots of reactions so sometimes I question my own memory lol

[@hoon4tw]

I loved your 80% argument! That is a new tool in the tool bag!

[@maz3555]

Really glad your enjoying Ren, and breaking down his lyrics .

[@mattmorrisson9607]

My man, I found REN last October and fell down the rabbit hole of videos and reactions HARD ever since. I’ve watched hundreds of reactions to most of his songs, but even though I just found you last night, you’re finding things I’ve never noticed or seen anyone else call out. Nice work man!

[@pauzeandrewind]

Hey, thanks! Glad to hear that man, thanks for tuning in!

[@Beckikaylene]

You are an amazing reactor! Love the journey on the Ren train!

[@ricksurratt9034]

Damn yes

[@pauzeandrewind]

Thank you!!

[@TRPLD]

You can find a Lord of the Rings homage every now and then in Rens work. Another one is in "Animal Flow" (another sick, sick song!).

[@keithlillard3890]

Ren is that guy! If you like bars and flow switches, you have to check out Wicked Ways...🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@dojohnso]

My wife and I met an old boat driver in Disney World on our honeymoon, and when asked the secret of a long marriage, he said "it's 80/80." Not exactly what you were talking about here, but not entirely different either

[@pauzeandrewind]

Oh that's interesting! Glad to know there's testimonial truth to it. Definitely works for me, been with my wife for 15 years!

[@coleeg69]

You would freak out if you heard "Masochist" From REN. Wrote it back in 2021 and didn't release it till couple months ago. Ren was in a very bad mental state and was so sick being in a sick body wanted everything to die. Kill everything. Powerful song.

[@stacie9229]

When you hold yourself hostage in your house (or are physically stuck) it DOES become comfortable. As much as you WANT to venture out, its easier and less pressure to just stay where youre suppressed yet safe and comfortable. Stacie from Boston

[@teraferguson6660]

Ren also says “Cried Tears from Heaven like Clapton” as in Eric Claptons song Tears In Heaven about his sons death.

[@barefootalien]

Oh hell yeah. Your thing about 80/20 is spot on. Nobody is 100%. No two people are completely compatible. Nobody can fulfill you in every possible way. No matter how good the relationship, there'll always be aspects of your self that you have to find other ways to fulfill. It goes both ways, too. If you want to find your 20%, and expect your partner to be flexible enough to allow you the freedom to do that, guess what? You have to let them find theirs, too. Sometimes that's literal, with an open relationship. More often, it's through friends or hobbies. Expecting one person to be your _everything_ is just a fantasy, and that fantasy only leads to disappointment, and before you know it, instead of hanging out with friends and doing things you love, you're hanging out with a bottle in a bar, or just so miserable you can't enjoy the 80% that you _do_ have. You're a sharp dude... you seem young to have that much wisdom, too. Although... you did talk about being in the music business for 20 years, plus college, which would probably make you about the same age as me. 🤔 I hope your partner got the analogy and isn't upset about not being 100%. That's a hard pill to swallow for someone who hasn't had that particular epiphany yet.

[@pauzeandrewind]

So well said! Thanks for the comment, you're absolutely right.

[@icesycle2262]

Dude you are so articulate. I cant give enough likes.

Wow. The 80/20 analogy. Blew my mind. Thats an insight ive never heard but thankful i did. Truly wonderful. Glad i have my 80%. ❤

[@franzmarley]

Dude those were some great words about the 20%. Especially listening to this song, where yeah sure it'd be easy to want the abilities Ren has, his voice, his ability to create music. Music that is possible to create because years of training. Years of pain. It's so easy, just as you say, to get blinded by the 20%. Man thanks, I love my life and myself just a bit more now. I am absolutely going to use your analogy, first and foremost talking to myself. Also good stuff calling out a good conversation, it's to be celebrated.

[@pauzeandrewind]

That's awesome man, thank you! I'm so glad you commented. Much love, man!

[@Summeriz19..]

I just found you a day or 2 ago and you are so relatable, thank you for your critique s of Ren. Honest, Respectful, Professional… thank you

[@VideosbyLisaLisa]

Liked your analogy about the grass is greener. So true. Great reaction overall. For recs: "Illest of Our Time" for a song from the new Sick Boi album. "Humble" if you're looking for an older track (It features Eden Nash. Their "Ocean" is fire too.)

[@pauzeandrewind]

Thank you!

[@peterveste6976]

thank you for reacting to my favourite artist ever love your reactions sending big love from the UK ❤❤❤

[@Bigglesman96]

10:15 This verse is my favorite in the whole song. "Back then the pain sprayed, ricocheted like a MAC 10 Hot lead hit the bed I was trapped in Red wings, seraphim, out of God's grace Cried tears from Heaven like Clapton Stick pins in a voodoo, Hendrix Thick skin, stay humble, Kendrick Stay skeptic, check the biometrics Bloodstain, crime scene, forensics" 1: Ren compares his pain to the hot lead of a gun, the red seraphim angel was the one who put the hot coal to Isiah's lips to clense his sins. 2: cried tears from heaven- he tried religion to help him 3: stick pins in the voodoo Hendrix - he tried other forms of new age spirituality, exorcism, and ritual to help him. 4: thick skin, stay humble Kendrick- he accepted pain as his teacher 5: stay skeptic, check the biometrics- he ignored the gaslighting Doctors, religions and therapists and did his own research to help himself. 6: bloodstain, crime scene, forensic - the aftermath of everything he went through was like a crime scene and he was his own detective. forensic= for- Ren- sick, like "ren is sick" and he finally figured it out on his own.

[@kipper2626]

Sick Boi is an obvious suggestion but also Illest of our Time if you were surprised by the bars in this you have a shock to your system on it's way! Losing It, The Hunger and Murderer too. I enjoy your reactions they are intelligent and thoughtful. 😎

Tears from Heaven is so good but so sad. He wrote it for his 4 year old son that died falling from window 53 stories up in NYC. “Would you know my name, if I saw you in heaven”😢

[@yasha.hartberg]

"Red Wings, Seraphim, out of God's grace" is the fourth bar everyone misses. It's a biblical reference to the prophet Isaiah (see Isaiah chapter 6).

[@barboelter]

I watch many reviewers and the thing that irritates me the most is watching so many clueless people that stop it every few seconds with a remark that is not even close to what Ren is getting at. With that, I have to say you have the best insight into what Ren is trying to say, and actually don't mind your pauses at all. Thank you from this old man for giving me some faith that some people still have a brain, and you proved that so well.

[@pauzeandrewind]

Thanks man, I appreciate that!

[@michaelgrabner8977]

it were actually 3 bars in a row 1. Cried tears from heaven like Clapton (reference to Eric Clapton´s "Tears in Heaven") 2. Stick pins in a voodoo, Hendrix (reference to Jimmy Hendrix´s "Voodoo Child") 3.Thick skin, stay humble, Kendrick (reference to Kendricks Lamar´s "Humble") Then comes a chorus like hook interlude part ("Lights on Lights on") and he continues with "Let it be Let it be, quote Lennon"..(reference to Beatles song "Let it be" written by John Lennon) which would be Nr4 Thought´s stay darker than a Uruk Hai masterplan = a "Lord of the Rings" reference... "Uruk Hais" were the Ork like monsters created by the Wizard Saruman as his masterplan in order to support Sauron.

Right before Vodoo and Humble was “Cried tears from heaven like Clapton”. Eric Clapton the legendary guitar player wrote a song called Tears in Heaven, which he wrote after his 4 year old son died after falling from an apartment window in NYC.

A bed where I'm always depressed/deep rest. The line before Hendrix and Kendricks was Cried Tears from Heaven like Clapton. Lots of reactors seem to miss that line.

[@pauzeandrewind]

Yeah I missed it. I don't think I know or have heard that song before.

[@NightFogFilms]

@@pauzeandrewind That would explain it. Listen to it. It's very sad. It's about Clapton's 4 year old son Conor who was playing in his New York City apartment when on the morning of March 20, 1991 he accidentally fell to his death from the 53rd-floor through a window that had been inadvertently left open following janitorial work in the apartment.

I Stumbled across your video because I’m a huge Ren fan. I just have to say that I absolutely love your 80/20 analogy! It puts a great perspective on relationships. This is coming from someone who has been married for 30 years in a faithful relationship. I would be lying if I said that I haven’t wondered if the grass was greener somewhere else. Luckily, I wasn’t tempted to find out because my husband isn’t perfect but he’s pretty close to it. So your analogy explains things very well.

[@sandiraymond1761]

Man, your 80/20 explanation was great. I'd been engaged for a couple years when I was in college. I loved him, but we had gotten comfortable. I definitely had that 80. He was just about everything I had ever looked for. Some guy in one of my classes caught my eye. We talked before and after class and had lunch together on campus. Then I sort of shook myself and thought wtf am I doing? I told that guy we couldn't even talk anymore. I realized I could give up the relationship I had to chase the new... and then do it all again in another few years... again and again. Always the new. Or I could have forever with someone. I'm happy to say we're nearly 26 years into forever. ❤
