All the nineties references shows he's a nineties kid, i love it. Did you get the Squid Game references?

[@RoarTheRapper]

I did but I didn’t think to point it out!

[@geofthompson3844]

@@RoarTheRapper but did you clock that he was wearing a squid game tracksuit? 456 on the back of it.

[@RoarTheRapper]

@@geofthompson3844 Yeah I did, I don’t know why I didn’t stop to mention that. I think because I was just on a different track with his outfit at the moment.

[@geofthompson3844]

@ROARTHERAPPER fair enough 👌. Still enjoying your videos and I like the fact that you don't take any crap about your reactions. 😂

[@dawnpatterson8708]

I loved this reaction. I haven't really ever been into rap before. But, I am 55 and the rap that I have been exposed to was mumble rap or angry. Neither of which is something that I want to hear. Let alone listen to. But, I have been learning about it because of Ren and watching reactors such as yourself. There is just something about Ren that makes me want to hear what he has to say. No matter how he chooses to do it. I'm even learning to listen faster. At my age, it's a challenge. But for Ren, I am willing to take up the gauntlet. So, nevermind the critic's. I have learned a lot and enjoyed myself along the way.😸

[@IratePuffin]

If you like Ren and you’re enjoying rap like this for the first time… you NEED to check out NF!!! I promise you will love him! Try “The Search” for a good introduction.

[@ADHDville]

Exactly! The unique thing about Ren is if you see ‘Hi Ren’ he can then open the doors into other genres.

[@abbymathews5088]

@@IratePuffinI found NF repetitive. I’ve tried several times. I just don’t get it. He just doesn’t seem as intelligent as Ren. I think that’s part of the reason I enjoy Ren’s rap. Maybe it’s because I found Ren first. 😉❤️✌️

[@juliecooper-nm7cm]

Thank you for taking the time to explain the art of rapping to us. When I want to just vibe to the songs without interruption I go right to Ren’s channel and play the video. I go to reactions to see it from different perspectives. Keep it up!!!

[@dianeemanuel8541]

He never oversells- he always gives more than promised.

[@no.1fangirl]

I watch you to hear what you've got to say ! Ignore the critics, your channel, just do you 👍 Braggadocious 🤣 new word for my vocab it's even in the dictionary. I got learnt today 😁

[@maggiedc13]

The problem with Ren rapping is that you have to be smart and have a lot of culture to understand the depth of his lyrics. Multiple levels always going on. Some people don’t get most of what is going on and the same can be said of his music and technique

[@philr696]

It could be a cultural thing. "In the car park by primark" from the hunger just for example. Where I live in New Zealand its just not a thing. I grew up in the Uk though and have managed to escape from primark.

[@kieranmcmahon1745]

Yeah, a lot of Ren's rap and music isn't just cultured, but a lot of it can be British, and even English, specific.

[@KrishnaEverson]

Doesn’t matter. There is still a visceral response to what he creates. The depth, nuances and references, just add to the layers of what he brings to the table. Bloody brilliant!

[@staceyshaffer180]

I get so frustrated when I tell everyone about REN! I can’t believe how people can’t get it. You hit the nail on the head though. You pretty much have to have knowledge of what’s going on in today’s world and an education to get the deep stuff. Animal Flow, I knew right away when I saw it that it was based of the George Orwell book Animal Farm. Had to read it in English Literature class.

[@woodywoodman2319]

Nailed it!

[@philhallbrook7008]

Ha ha! This is gonna blow your mind. I'll check in again in a few minutes dude. Beauty reaction sunshine. Ren backs his braggadacious stuff up with talent, fun, wit, and nails it. Cool as

[@wastefulungratfuls]

His songs got longer as he began to feel better... Probably after the stem cell therapy he travelled to America to get... Prior to that the Chronic fatigue and pain from the undiagnosed Lymes Disease probably stopped him from singing and rapping longer than a few minutes... He was bedbound and rarely left his bedroom for years as his health worsened so thats why hes well read, uses movie references and covers so many genres... He can play guitars, piano, cello, drums, sings, raps, beatboxes and produces music and videos... Its time for all those seeds hes planted over the last ten years of writing and making music to grow... And while hes in Canada recieving further treatment for Lymes disease those songs will be grow into trees giving the audience shade in a plethora of genres with a diversity of ages... This 52 year old mother of 2 is bopping to Ren daily

[@motaman8074]

The sweatsuit with the zip open (and redlight, greenlight)is a nod to The Squid Game. Great reaction.

[@WaryTM]

456 is the number worn by the main character in Squid Game.

[@supertuscans9512]

Yep, I don’t think he twigged that reference. I also don’t think that ‘I fucked it up like I made it’ is an idiom in the US.

[@WaryTM]

@@supertuscans9512 agreed

[@motaman8074]

@@WaryTM I didnt watch squid game so I was basing it on somebody else's comment. I'm gonna edit that out. Thanks

[@WaryTM]

@@motaman8074 of course!

[@fourcornersofbrighton]

Great reaction! I think part of the reason Ren's Braggadocios (sp?) lines aren't an issue for the listeners/fans is that a lot of it is meant to be quirky and in jest. Ren takes music seriously but not himself. If you read up on him, he comes across as very down to earth and humble. I know that some traditional rappers have had issues with this song being created with an EDM beat, but I love it.

[@ADHDville]

My argument is that this isn’t braggadocios style. The KZbinr here just jumped on that interpretation before Ren finished the line. Ren is framing this whole track as the world is the giant and Ren is jack. Ren is the scrappy street smart fun ‘screech’ style guy in his own version of squid games. Everytime ren builds himself up, he takes himself down. Eg. Pop 3 guys and takes himself out for revenge. When this KZbinr says REN is saying he’s a giant and bragging and stomping on his opponents he totally missed what REN is saying here.

[@intothedepthscoco]

The whole thing with the track suit and moving around was for people to see that he is #456 and it is the same as what they wear from Squid Game where there were 455 contestants and red light/green light was one of the games they play.

[@spirialitytalks8324]

Good stuff,I like your style of breaking it down from your point of view!

[@MissMeKate]

Never apologise for breaking down the art of rap. I know nothing about music and have dreadful taste (I owned a vhs of the Frog Chrous) so I really appreciate rappers actually explaining the techniques. Knox Hill is practically professorial in doing the same and people love it, so keep doing your thing and the right people will find it.

[@Parula06]

Ha! I thought you would lose it to this track! In the USA, rap isn't put over EDM/club beats like it elsewhere for some reason. Cannot express how much I love this one. I put it on when I need a boost, as it literally raises my heartrate and gets me excited, even though I've listened god knows how many times. Perfect brag rap, a time-honored art form.

[@RoarTheRapper]

Yeah I personally love rap over EDM tracks but it’s just not common like that! We need to learn from the UK!

[@jepg485]

Lots of 90’s rave scene influence from the UK here. Drum and Bass sets would more often than not have mc’s spitting bars. Check out Skibadee, Harry Shotta, Grima etc etc

[@simplysimon9868]

Lost track how many films Ren mentioned. This is an awesome track. Fisher - Losing It is the base track from Australia. Ren just added and owned it!!

[@Shiroar]

Such a fun track. This is Ren flexing his skills and clever lyricism while also showing us his cheeky sense of humour. And I love it! It’s also just nice to see how he hasn’t lost his humour with everything he has been and is still going through. It’s like he is saying “sure life sucks but let’s try to have a laugh whenever possible anyway” with this and it’s oddly heartwarming.

[@lillyvanpug]

I heard something interesting only a few days ago on another reaction. Apparently there is a disc golfer named Macbeth who has a move called beastmode 🤯🤯🤯 Makes so much more sense now

[@jupiter3545]

That blue track suit with 456 and the red light , green light and pop men is Squid game.

[@fluxfist6920]

Ren drops Lord of the Rings references in his music and it doesn't even sound out of place. "I'm in a 4 door Ford when I'm back in my lane, and I'm a Mordor Lord and Azgul will reign". God I love it!

Ghost 4. Poltergeist 5. I’m a Demon 6. Morgan Freeman - imprisoned for murder in Shawshank Redemption. 7. Rag and Bone Man - known as the bone-grubber, bone-picker. 8. Macbeth - the protagonist is a monster due to the murders he committed. 9. A Werewolf out in the moonlight 10. A blood sucking parasite - Chupacabra Monster 11. Vampire 12. Venom - Marvel Universe 13. Pop one, pop two, drop three men - Squid Games Murders 14. Godzilla 15. Gorilla in the Jungle - King Kong 16. Bear in the Wood - Grizzly 17. Mordor Lord - Sauron 18. Nazgul - Dark Servants of Sauron 19. The Devil

[@jonblackburn7634]

I think - and I could well be wrong - that the bit that reminded you of Token was a reference to Squid Game, a South Korean show that went mental in the UK last year.

Ik you did this a year ago but just gotta say cause you were talking about the amount of flow changes, Ren also did a great job showing every flow change with a different location. When he goes back to a flow already done, he goes back to the same location. Freaking awesome 👌 🎉

[@AaaaaBeeee]

Great reaction. Stay true to yourself it works for me!

[@dazraf]

Loved the reaction and the thoughtful analysis. Spot on!

[@debrashrider4062]

You are a good Reactor. "Losing It" is an EDM song done by the artist Fisher. Anything marked Retake is Ren using someone else's music/beats and apying his own lyrics to it.

[@TheChristafershawn]

The jogging suite and number on back and taking out of men is a Squid Games reference. This track is old fashioned bragging, display of skills and pop culture references. Just thought I add that.

[@britbackup]

Great reaction 👍 Thanks 🙏

As a middle aged man I have never really liked rap.....until now. I have seen the light 😃

I, too, noticed how when he proclaimed himself screech, he was screaming next to some apartments at night, who knows if he warned people beforehand. He’s a mover and a shaker.

[@jojomerriott3108]

The problem with Ren is he's not a rapper. He's a lyricist, a wordsmith. A performer.

[@troy9er]

Ren is really good. Love your analysis.

[@NightFogFilms]

Not sure if you caught the Squid Game reference with red light, green light and the green track suit with 456 on it as you didn't mention it but did compare the open jacket to Token.

[@RoarTheRapper]

I did. Didn’t think to mention it.

[@LyricGraymane]

Great reaction man, loved your insight,,,,, I just wish Ren would take some of us back to his home planet, cause i don't he's from this one. Keep it up man. 😎

[@jenniferpaul1832]

great job

[@jadejameson5312]

I really liked you in this one!!

[@ADHDville]

Ren often outlines the track in the first lines. If you misunderstand them you miss the framing for the whole track. If you know the fairytale he’s referencing in “Fe-Fi-Fo-Fum” you’ll realise he’s saying he’s Jack, he’s not the giant. Just like in the fairytale the giant asks “who is this…?” (camera is bottom up to make him giant) we then cut to REN in the studio (top down shot so he looks smaller) and he replies to the giant “I’m here in my room”. The world is the giant looking at him. He’s a renegade sick little Jack who’s doing some fun bullshit in his studio. Thruout the track when he builds himself up, he immediately cuts himself back down. Eg. he drops 3 guys but then he drops himself in revenge. (It also helps if you’re British to get him). This IS NOT bragadocious style, it just comes off that way if you’re not paying attention.. REN is saying he is the underdog that wins the day…but that’s ok, you’re just reacting in the moment.

[@neiljeffries6497]

[@rog2224]

There's a real sense of Ren just having a whale of a time on this. Since I'm older than god, some of the sample handling reminds me of Art of Noise and Utah Saints.

[@ranneff7119]

Your the only one that tells ppl that aren't/haven't/don't yet catch that it's a brag rap & the Fee fee fi fi fo fo fum is him referring to him being a giant 💕🔥❣️ Ty 🙏terabyte is big I knew that it had something to do with computers and technology (like he clever in his lyrical attach🤷🏼‍♀️) so I caught that there was a play on words with that, but not how big a terabyte is🤦🏼‍♀️ helped it make MORE sense for us computer illiterate 🤭

[@ADHDville]

Yeah… so this ‘REN is the giant’ interpretation is wrong in my opinion. It’s understandable as the KZbinr jumped on that thought before REN finished the line (and that’s ok, he’s just reacting). REN is saying that he is Jack. The world is the giant stomping around and REN is the street smart, quick, fun guy doing his thing, . I could explain it in more depth if anyone is interested, but this misinterpretation means this isn’t a brag rap as such, it’s more a scrappy underdog winning the day against the “giant” - hence squid games reference).

[@wastefulungratfuls]

🤦‍♀️ SQUID GAME even his tracksuit has numbers...

[@NativeNYerChicHK]

Yes! Some of the rap that tries to be double time are akin to nursery rhymes. Too basic, rhyming unconnected words, than to be considered quality. There has to be a theme that hits throughout, every scheme and cadence has to make sense from one line to the next, from one word to the next even. There has to be a flow.

[@AndaraBledin]

Fisher is the name of another artist and Losing It is the backing track that he's rapping over. The 'retake' part is that it's not a cover, but he's putting fresh lyrics over someone else's track. ... as an aside, maybe don't spend so much breath on people who're gonna give you beef. If they can't handle what you've gotta say and don't understand where you're coming from, telling them isn't going to change that.

[@RoarTheRapper]

Ahhh so he “remixed” the track, a lot of rappers do that where they take the beat and rap over it in their own way :3

[@cartaspara.giovanni4151]

It’s NOT a “remixed” it’s a rap over a DJ FISHER take in a FISH lent

[@RoarTheRapper]

@@cartaspara.giovanni4151 “Remix” has a different definition in the rap world. It was confusing to me at first when I learned about it too, but remixes mean taking the same beats and rapping over it your way.

You need to balance tha audio! Now it's 65%-35%! Left to right. And if you produce music yourself I'm suprised you don't get that you have to have the same volume level on your mic as the music?! With headphones it makes us have to turn it down every time you speak.
