REN - GENESIS REACTION

Too right, we're here for him in every way we can be. He deserves it for what he's given the world, if the collective care to look and listen.

[@NativeNYerChicHK]

It’s really crazy what kind of widely varied musical talent he’s got. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen someone that does different genres, but actually does each impeccably. Like, we’ve seen rappers try to sing and singers try to rap, and sometimes they just squeak by to pull it off. But usually that’s based on their already established fame and popularity, they’re not nearly as convincing as this. This guy is the real deal. He’s a Musician, with a capital M, can’t box him in with a genre. Writer, composer, producer, singer, rapper, guitarist, beat boxer, spoken word, and an actor who embodies every character he writes about. I’m in awe and can’t wait for what else he graces us all with.

[@zed4225]

Plan B is the only one who plays guitar, raps and sings as well as #Ren in my humble opinion, Plan B is 6 years older than Ren at 39yrs old. One of my favourite rappers/storytellers. Thinking Ren might be into Plan B too, he refers to him in #Hi Ren, not a lot of people seem to have heard of Plan B, but they need to give 'ill manors' and 'Who Needs Action When You Got Words' a go 🔥

[@ECCENTRICERIC69]

@@zed4225 Plan B's concept album "The defamation of Strickland Banks' was one of the greatest albums of the decade. I defy anyone to listen to "Stay to long" or 'The recluse" and keep their feet from moving!!

Ren and his film buddy Samuel are a dynamic duo. It’s so helpful as an independent artist, but the low-budget videos are so captivating. He’s found a formula that works. Ren might be able to stay mostly independent but get a distribution deal - or like you said, sign to a label that’s run by an actual artist. Either way, if his health continues to improve, he will be in the driver’s seat in terms of negotiations. I hope he doesn’t go back to Sony though 😒 And yes, he lost almost a decade of his life because of the misdiagnosis and untreated Lyme disease 😿 They tried to tell him it was all psychosomatic, in his head 😒 I believe he finally found someone in Brussels that diagnosed it, but so much damage had been done to his body and his mind. It took 2 stem cell transplants to give him a chance to regain his health. He’s in Alberta Canada getting treatment with a specialist. He shares a lot of updates and the Ren community has been very supportive. We need artists like him, so if he needs help, we will be there for him. I think it’s just a matter of time that he will completely blow up. You should check out his video for Diazepam. It’s an animated video

I like all 3 versions of Genesis - vibe is different in each one which I love.

[@Shiroar]

Ren is just something else. He is a beast when he raps, but then he’s like “I’m also just gonna kill it with singing, producing, playing multiple instruments etc.”. Man has no chill 😅 And he does everything with such authenticity and thoughtfulness. Everything always feel so intentional. Every little word and sound.

[@MissMeKate]

I love watching these videos with you. I'm not just grateful to Ren for his music, but for the other artists he has introduced me to, and the artist-reactors like you, Knox, and BP, who are like the cool friends I've never had because I'm as musical as a sandwich and just as square.

[@erinbriggs2087]

🥪 😂😂

[@Veeliscious]

😂😂 I love that analogy

[@joshuawiedenbeck6944]

I'm not an expert, but my understanding of Lymes disease is that, if left untreated for long enough, it starts to eat away at your body, including your brain. REN has used imagery in his songs of his brain being on fire (stood in the flames that cremated my brain, etc.)

[@supertuscans9512]

Yep, if not caught in the early stages it is generally considered to be incurable. The problem for some people is that they can catch the disease and not know it for years because it can remain symptomless. Even when it does become symptomatic it Mimics many other diseases which is why it is sometimes called the great pretender. If you know or see that you’ve been bitten by a tick the best thing to do is take a course of anti-biotics immediately. This can kill the disease in its infancy in about 70% of people but in about 30%, even this does nothing and the disease just progresses. It’s a terrible thing.

[@dillonmackay683]

He was also misdiagnosed taking medication he didn’t necessarily need to take

[@Lou-xq9br]

❤ he is handsome, I agree!

[@jamescurrie7678]

Ren + Anthony Ray = Pure 🔥

[@nondetection8882]

the nanananninini part is his voice distorted he explained, he almost always puts his voice in the beat mix I think.

[@Padillwan]

You need to listen to the acoustic (remix) version of Genisis. The "mantra" hook is completely different. An entirely different take on the same song, evoking a new feeling. Ren is a master of using all interpretations of a word or saying. Masterful breakdown as always. Thank you for this this morning.

[@elenaorujev3494]

Another fantastic, clever, creation by Ren! Enjoy your reactions to his impressive catalog!

[@richardhanney7950]

People are sleeping on the live version of this. Even in Rens channel its got a fraction of the views this one does. Doubt anyone will be surprised by now when I say its fantastic.

[@michaelmasterson7386]

Camera ops, typically, have an assistant that is in charge of making sure they don't trip while walking backwards. But knowing the team Ren works with, maybe not.

[@francesdoll4039]

He does his own beats. The misdiagnosed for 7 years. Now trying to repair damage done. Still has brain fog,shooting pain in legs and feet, fatigue , sometimes stutters ....

[@WhiteBoyDay]

Great reaction! Love watching you just enjoy listening to it followed up by a great breakdown of his lyrics. This dude is such a dope creative genius

[@Av3rageD4D]

Yes!!!! Thank you Anthony - love your reactions, and the great person you are. Lots of love from Canada!! I have yet to find something in REN’s catalogue that I would not listen to again, hope you keep checking them out 😁

[@odochartaighofodonegal2351]

It needs to be said- REN as a Beat Master is absolutely nasty; in addition to his other, many talents.

[@In_42_Space]

To me, it sounds like the percussion sound at the start of the video you talk about is a sample of the chair opening sound from his song Chalk Outlines. This feels like something Ren would do and is just awesome if it is.

[@philfranklin8378]

It's great hearing you break down just how damn talented Ren really is. It brings me a new appreciation for this master artist

I may not know a whole lot about Rap but I am amazed every time I listen to Ren. He just makes sense to me. Of course, Anthony Ray's appreciation for Ren's treatment of the Genre and his breakdown helps as well. Thank you, Anthony, great reaction!

[@silentwhisp4r670]

Awesome reaction! Always top tier stuff!

[@francoisvT]

Love this song, the Drum&Bass version he released hits a little better for me though but Ren is the goat.

[@eileenanderson3517]

Actually Sony didn’t just drop him, Ren says he had to drop out because that was when he went into some of his worse mental issues and simply couldn’t produce works at that time. He’s still respectful of the man representing Sony and Sony itself. No one’s fault, just tragic timing. I’m thankful things are getting better for him professionally, and I’m still praying for his health recovery.

[@waxingmiracle]

The look that Ren gives the car that nearly hit him is priceless!

[@treble8921]

License to Kill was itself a Bond movie which did NOT in fact star Sean Connery. However, 007 and his counterpart characters (such as 008) are often referenced in the various movies and games as having a "license to kill", apparently from the government itself seemingly removing ROE or something like that for these special agents. So I don't think he was directly referencing the specific movie by that name but the idea itself from the canon.

[@paindilla1834]

License To Kill was a James Bond movie but Timothy Dalton played Bond that time not Sean Connery. Although James Bond has a license to kill.

[@86billionneurons]

Anthony Ray is a cool guy. Love your stuff. Keep up the good work. Subscribed to the vibe.

[@Pablopax4]

The whiplash effect is what happens to something like a heavily compressed rimshot with a long and heavy reverb added.

[@MissyMedusa83]

You are now my no 1 reactor to Ren - thank you

[@Corvid76]

The "drum sound" is an audio clip of the firing of a bullet that Ren thought sounded cool. Though he did alter it a bit. Additionally, Sean Connery wasn't in License to Kill, despite the James Bond reference.

[@jimjamdetecting1176]

There's symbolism in the way he threw down the chip with a frustrated grunt and left the food. His medical problems mean he's on a very restricted diet and wouldn't be able to eat that kind of thing.

Ren was misdiagnosed a decade ago by doctors. He actually had Lime Disease but they thought his mind was playing tricks and gave him strong drugs and the Lime disease ran amuck for 7-8 years. He is currently in canada receiving treatment to undo all the damage done.

I think he said he had some brain damage from being misdiagnosed for so long.

Undiagnosed Lyme disease can become very serious. Once Lyme is in your body is will continuously spread throughout the body. Once you get to stage 3 Lyme disease it can cause major neurological problems. That’s why he has the “sometimes your nerves are fried by neuropathy” bar in there.
