Ren ft. Kit - Slaughter House Reaction

[@joshuawiedenbeck6944]

The sword Ren is holding is the Master Sword from The Legend of Zelda. You are spot on when talking about taking care of all aspects of life. Rens' physical illness is severely affected by stress. The combination of the Kujo stuff with Ren prepping for the Secret Garden Party caused him so much stress that his health spiraled. He said that he likely can never tour because the stress would cause him to relapse, and he can't afford to play with his health.

We don't have Genres anymore. We have The ŔENre

[@traceybarger2628]

Ren just symbolically killed the Sick Boi…❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@miraclelurker]

No samples on the whole Slaughter House album. After his Kujo experience Ren did everything himself. He talks about it on his latest Twitch stream which he uploaded to his RenMakesStuff YT channel.

[@warmfuzzyfeeling]

Nice to see you react to this Izzy! FYI Ren did a nearly 3 hour long twitch stream tonight after the premier, and he was in good form! Discussing such diverse topics as capitalism, Greek mythology, religion, while singing Sinatra songs and all with a bright blue tongue. Delightfully random and deep... reassuringly Ren ❤ Edit - he talked a lot about the song and video in the stream too, answered loads of questions we all had about it. The plastic wrap bit reminds me of Demolition Man too (which of course is based on Brave New World, a book Ren has talked about)... but he said he just wanted to wrap himself up like that because he saw something which made him think it looked like fun lol... He also talked about a LOT of the things you talk about here, he said the stream will be uploaded - give it a watch, it's enlightening!

[@phylbrey1121]

@@warmfuzzyfeeling it was a long one ~ this premiere probably lifted his spirits but burned him out too

[@IzzyIzenstain]

Thanks! I'll check it out when he uploads it. Love Sinatra too.

[@Jinxy44]

Perfect description - “delightfully random”. I’ve watched it twice more since the Twitch because it’s “reassuringly Ren” who doesn’t let his illness hold him back. ❤

[@iamlpinthe312]

Because REN mentions Damocles I think it’s the sword of Damocles that he’s holding. Without going into the specifics it is the idea of wealth and power being the ultimate position ( held by Dionysus) but when Damocles wishes for “ the grass that appears to be greener) he is given it and switches places with Dionysus- HOWEVER ABOVE HIS HEAD IS A SWORD THAT HANGS BY A THREAD - because with that wealth and with that power comes enemies and you will always be looking up and around because at any moment that thread can be cut. For REN I think that it applies to his health, which is chronic and ongoing and fragile enough to be thrown off by things that “ the ordinary “ would be able to bounce back from. He lives with the sword- sometimes he wields it while at other times it dangles by a thread above him. *** The logo is named Johnson. SLAUGHTERHOUSE is the album ***

[@hollyryalsgrubb1273]

Is there any other artist who is so engaging and hooks you in from the start nowadays? Perhaps it's the authenticity and uniqueness. I just know that this is stuff that I would have never listened to previously, and yet, I'm fully engaged.

[@K8TDidToo]

It's Johnson. He's a bunny and the mascot for the album.

[@kathiloadholt]

He’s a force. What will we have when he’s fully formed. Always evolving. Love him❤. Thanks for your reaction.

[@Jinxy44]

This one is where someone accidentally cut his cornea n he had to go to hospital in Canada. He’s just released a BTS (part 1) on his Patreon. They had a ‘Ren Kill Count’, it went to 10 in pt 1 😂 I think he’s killing past Ren’s so ‘Sick Boi’ is gone in this video. However, this was produced before his recent relapse and so that sword of Democles is still hanging over his head. Chronic illness is torture as he shows here. Thanks for your reaction. Love your thoughtful comments and your “digressions”. ❤

[@SaBabiko]

A bunny called Johnson 🐰. Loved your reaction (as always) ❤

[@francesdoll4039]

Greek words elysium=heaven Gaia=earth Tartaros=hell All completly production by Ren. The entire album will be all his production. Kit is an artist he met inCanada. He did 3 songs with her on this album. The video where he crashed he didnt finish. It was a new Tale calked Starry Night. This one he got stabbed in the eye and now the autoimmunity opened up the eye again when he crashed Ren has very low body fat. Because of his illness and limited diet. He is very fit .exercise keeps inflamation down. In livestream he broke down when tellng us he probably will not be able o tour. His health is too vulnerble to stress. He had a really tough couple months as his body crashed. He is not afraid of death but is very afraid if living the rest of hus life un pain and illness. His ptsd kicked in thinking he would fall all the way back. He said he pays 5-6 thousand a month for medicarions alone! His one medication antibiotuc for Bartonella is 950 a month. Most people just have o go without . He was very troubled about it fir the sake if others.

Nice to see your reaction Izzy! This song is pure fire and I love me a bit of Dark Ren 🖤yet at the same time so sad Ren is having so many health issues. He is such a kind a soul I want him healed already💔

[@aura81295]

I find you to be very intriguing in the few reactions of yours i have watched so far. Definitely plan on checking out more. I found you through following reactions to Ren which has been an unusual journey back into more updated music after limiting my exposure as it seemed increasingly difficult to find and access music that stirs emotions within me not resulting in pounding headaches. Hoping this trend toward more soulful music continues.

[@phylbrey1121]

On twitch today he said the rest of the album is emo-ren. I’m looking forward to the song with Chinchilla

Those words...All from Greek Mythology:- Elysium was the final resting place of the souls of heroes and virtuous men; Tartarus is the deep abyss that is used as a dungeon of torment and suffering for the wicked and as the prison for the Titans; Gaia is the ancestral mother-sometimes parthenogenic-of all life; Kia kaha from Middle Earth NZ

[@Kimava62]

Love hearing your thoughts 😊

[@iamlpinthe312]

As always, it’s cinematic and brilliant. The lyrics are very personal but also intelligent and poetic in that there’s a lot of mythological references woven into his personal storytelling . Underworld = Regions with Elysian being the highest one relegated to the heroes, Tartarus being relegated to the deepest level where the wicked are tortured. He was also a god ( child of Chaos and brother of Gaia - foundation and primordial goddess of all earthly things). Gaia also went to the depths of the underworld and convinced Tartarus to have a child with her. ** Honestly there is nothing more fucked up that the ancients and their mythology ( Greek, Roman …Biblical etc).

[@suevick637]

Ren lost his vision in his left eye while making this. Took 2 wks to return. It's understandable after seeing the video. He is playing all the parts. 🙏🏻 for Ren. Godspeed and get well soon. We need his music. ❤ Thank you Izzy ❤

[@Bob-wv7ed]

Love love your takes on REN’s genius. The world doesn’t yet know the messages REN has for mankind. His music is straight from his soul. Untainted by the evils of the music industry. He speaks truths, he speaks meaningful thoughts that most musicians dare not talk about. He will one day, be studied and recognized for his deep communication and messages for mankind. So much fun to part of this rare journey into a revolutionary artist.

Hey Izzy, great to see you react to this so fast! Kit is the person who did the monologue in Money Ties. She’s a Canadian artist who features on the new album quite a bit apparently. This video was shot there in May I think Ren said. Ren did all the beats and everything else himself…🫶🏻

[@helenjarvis7755]

Yes Kit is Canadian. It's all Ren musically apart from her . He also said he is producing and mastering this Album himself . It was the Starry Night video I think he said that he couldn't finish because of the autoimunity emergency . I was on the stream which was very interesting, funny, profound and Ren. He has been concentrating on therapeutic treatments since returning from Canada It took me several listens to fall into this one! Glad I did though. Love to hear your thoughts on this track

[@IzzyIzenstain]

Thanks, Helen!

[@jeanwyenberg2774]

No samples. HIs beats, his everything. I believe that is going to be the case for the entire album. All music is his, probably the film concept as well. Kit is a woman he met in Calgary...she did the spoken intro to Money Ties and will be appearing quite a bit on the new album. She also did his tattoos.

[@Irmelinis]

Great reaction :D love hearing your thoughts! Love seeing you loving Ren's music!

[@SandraP3796]

This song has so many levels. Ren then kills sick Ren. Ren hurt his eye badly while doing the eye scene similar to Clockwork Orange. When you said when you are in severe pain etc , you do hit the dark. My darkness was to try get away from my chronic pain and then Trauma/PTSD too. I’m glad I’m not in the dark now. Thanks Izzy

[@LoutTsu]

I'm late getting here and most of your musings have been addressed already. The sword is a replica from Lord of the Rings, but just happened to be an available prop. When Ren became financially secure last year, he was very proud and relieved about no longer needing to fund raise for his health care. As we all know, he doesn't believe in accumulating more than you need. He made remarks recently indicating he's working on some sort of project to help provide health care to chronically ill people. Gave no details. Next week there will be a video (?) release that seems to be the start of an "immersive experience" related to his new clothing line.
