Ren- Halftime (Nas Retake) I'm hooked

[@michaelphipps8647]

Our Boi killed this beat! Straight 🔥 🔥 🔥 He released this on Pi Day 3-14, then goes on to talk about pie. Coincidence I think not. Only Ren!!!

[@leftyjaggajagga]

Ha!! I hadn't made that connection! Fookin Ren....gotta love it.

Day:month:year in the UK (days in month, month in year) there is No Pi day.

[@borntobewise87]

​@@archie1774Yes it is! All the context of this piece of art is around USA rap legends. It IS a retake of an american rapper first. By the way she's not the first american reactor that I heard saying it's pi day (and with Ren this kind of detail is rarely a random coincidence).

you are such an awsome reactor, your joy, suprise and shock sometimes. and just watching you react, is a wait worth waiting for. he just baffles me and lots of your fellow reactors. he just gets better, plus his respect is brilliant. cant wait for the next one to shock us.

Ren said his next drop is a piano piece a week from Thursday. Not sure who though. He also said on his live stream during the premiere of this song he is in the process of moving from Canada to Los Angeles and is almost done with the next album. Will be more piano and vocals like chalk outlines with piano. Then a collab album before the end of the year. 2 songs already done with Chinchilla. Even mentioned some live shows but not able to tour yet unfortunately. He mentioned all of this in his livesteam for the premiere. He was awesome. Stayed in chat for about 30 minutes answering tons of questions and making jokes. Awesome reaction as always!

[@leob3447]

The first Big Mac is likely a reference to "B.I.G Mack" which was a marketing campaign for Bad Boy Records that referred to Notorious B.I.G and Craig Mack (also Puff Daddy who is still with us).

[@paulo4223]

Great reaction as always Red. You may have already read that Ren mentioned the serendipity, whilst recording, that the countdown on the crossing reached zero, as he stopped, after crossing. Further, i saw a comment that just after he acknowledges the greats who have been lost, the education bus goes past. Surreal. Thank you, Ren. Pi day 03/14. Pi-rats! C'mon!!! You are supreme! Thank you, Red. Love the love you have for our boy.

Thank you!

[@mallockracer]

Hey Red, it's been a minute, I hope you are full of the joys of spring.... you know what it is about him, I comment a lot on various Ren vids, sparked up mini conversations with a wide variety of folk from all over this planet, It does not matter if you are a 72 year old Hank Williams fan, a 62 year old metal head, a 50 year old Raver, a 40 year old grunge head right down to younger folk who are already into Rap.... All there for the exact same reason.... "My music is really connecting, when people find it, respect it... " I have never known an artist to be that cross genre and cross generational at the same time, and time after time after time.. He has metal heads listening to Rap, he has rappers listening to classical.... and all done with grace and humility... there is a difference between Greatness and Genius, Greatness is hitting a target no one else can, Genius is hitting a target, no one knew existed....

Dude's slaying the sidewalk talk....Your passion for music makes me smile, probably because it's been such a huge part of my enjoyment of life also....Ren said when he watched it back he was blown away by the serendipity regarding the traffic lights. If you watch it when the numbers hit zero for the cars to go, he stops. Seems even the almighty is a Ren fan lol.

I can't stop listening to this. It's so many things. A trip down memory lane to early 90s hip-hop, pays homage to one of the best to ever do it, the memorial bars are such a cool tribute... and at the same time it stands on his own as his. He raps about not getting to the level of Nas, but I think he is not only right up there, but also one of the best rappers I've ever listened to - not even taking into account everything else he does. I really hope he finds all of the success he wants and I consider myself lucky to be one of the people that has gotten to enjoy his music along the way. As always, loved the reaction and thank you for sharing it with us! Stay safe with tornado season. I'm a bit of a weather nerd and follow several storm chasers. Last night was pretty insane.

I believe the blurred out part is karen "or like a karen with no one to complain to" as a "karen" doesn't like being called as such so you even have to blur that out too. I like to think though that it's left for you to fill in the gap for what ever word you like haha

[@danielcorey6857]

Please react to Chester P Fire in the streets, gotta love a redhead!

[@Codex7777]

I think, I could be wrong, that Nas used the 'f' word that rhymes with maggot. Ren referenced it but in a disapproving way, by blurring out his mouth and totally distorting the sound, so the word was pretty much unintelligible, unless you knew the Nas original. I think... Feel free to correct me, any Nas fans out there.

[@not433]

In the Nas Halftime video here on KZbin f**k is blurred out the same way as whatever word it is in Ren's retake; however, f****t isn't. So, I don't know, maybe it is that word and Ren's making a point about which word should have been censored (like you say)? And/or he just blurred a word as another nod to the original?
