Ren - Illest Of Our Time | REACTION

[@guitarmuscle6968]

Ren is different, Love your reactions, the Ren Rabbit Hole is Deep and the dude can Rap, Sing and play Multiple Instruments, and his catalogue covers many Musical Genres and he is a Master of all of them, if you want to hear his singing voice i suggest you check out his Band, The Big Push, they have many Songs to choose from but, The Big Push - I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop is a good place to Start.

[@deniseouillette6995]

MORE REN!!!!! He is amazing!!

[@candacemay7187]

Yes - more Ren! Every day!!

[@barr790]

Love it! Buzzing that you got onto Ren, great reaction as usual guys! ❤

[@davidfaulkner2289]

Ren’s just different! loving your reactions. If you want to see this guy flow after flow after flow, check out “Losing it” crazy 🤯

[@slowdaze]

Ren often likes to throw back to other songs he has made. In this one you have Screech who kills a pacifist (Ren wrote the song so he also kills a pacifist). Asks a questions and answers it is a call out to Hi Ren, immediately after the lyric there are 2 REN’s one in white and one in black. Then he calls himself a Heretic (another Ren song), and he mentions Swanton Bomb which is a call back to the same line in Losing It.

[@Hope...M]

It's almost like self-promotion. Just look what you just did. You explain to people how freezes he uses and words reflect and direct to other tracks. I mean there's no other reason for him to do that except for self-marketing because no one knows those other tracks unless they've gone down that rabbit hole right? What do you think the pig stands for because I think it's definitely a symbolic. Hi Ren isn't really going to be a radio hit if you know what I'm saying. I mean to be honest that video is necessary to give the words the due. Imagine if you just heard that track on radio. No internet or nothing but just straight radio in a car with no playlist. That track wouldn't do well because everything that makes that freakin song so dope is the drama or I guess the show.imo. he should try to release some original things with big push these days. I said chalk outlines will get award. I know it's a little old but if it's been re-released than is still eligible for a year right? That track repair should definitely get him in the Grammy nomination talk at least. But you know it's crazy in USA. A movie or song has to come out within a certain time frame in order to get nominated that year. It could just be releasing it in a little different aspect to re-release. Chalk outlines is at least one year

[@slowdaze]

@@Hope...M Really interesting idea about self promotion! The pig is sorta answered in Animal Flow (REN’s Orwellian Animal Farm in a Kubrick Style). He represents not just the pigs (Snowball and Napoleon) but what the pigs stand for in the book. Good intentions corrupted and human nature. Funny you bring that up about Hi REN not being radio playable. Ren said a bit ago that he was surprised when it was at like 14 on Spotify. He said that he always assumed that song was married to the video. As much as I like Chalk Outlines, I personally feel that How to be Me is even better.

[@lisac243]

Love that you both are smiling during the song! Genuine enjoyment

[@DonnaPoynton.]

Yes more Ren Thanks Both ❤

[@dannyp8170]

I'd recommend his trilogy next. The tale of jenny and screech.

[@rkoutz]

You’re gonna love “Humble” by Ren!!

[@lillyvanpug]

Ren came in swinging with this track and blew the fricking roof off the building 🤯 He made his presence clear once and for all 🔥🔥🔥

[@andrewmartin9247]

You've only scraped the surface. Keep going down the rabbit hole.. so much talent and amazing music!

[@RBBSFBH]

He won't say what the pig is personally I think it's napoleon from the book animal farm

[@Jarflex101]

Pretty sure the pig represents greed in the music industry but Ren won't confirm as he prefers it to remain up to the listener!

[@dmj4966]

Animal Flow clarifies the pig motif with the Animal Farm metaphor

[@Jarflex101]

@Dan Jackness only in the Animal Flow video. He's not explained why it's in the others, he prefers to leave it to his fans imagination!

[@dmj4966]

@@Jarflex101 agreed. He just dropped Animal Flow a few days ago tho so he seems like he wanted to clarify

[@JonNo86]

@@Jarflex101 he did say that, but I feel like Animal Flow was kind of like a final reveal, because the main character in Animal Farm is a pig.

[@fatfreelondon]

Pretty sure he's a struggling artist in a shared flat in Brighton who can't afford new props for every video he and his friends shoot on the streets!

[@StevelandCleamer]

The constant grin on your faces said it all in this video. Man had bars in this song

[@dianejones8225]

Ren is so much fun to listen to. Love the reaction. Keep them coming

[@dawnpatterson8708]

Love your Ren reactions.

[@Henry4ever]

Ren is the illest of our time... period! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@chucknorris5141]

Let's go!!!

[@Matty37FactsOnly]

Wow dude that is Powerful for you too share about your anxiety and since the beginning of me watching you coming on a few years now you have hidden that well and never thought you was going through something like this. Many people don't realise that you can get physical symptoms with Anxiety disorders, many times now my chest feels crushed in and I thought I was literally about too die. I had to go through this soo many times before I realised I need help and there's nothing worse than trying to explain to the Doctors something they can't see and what is happening. I don't have a medical certificate or anything like that but having mental health for the last 20 years I can tell you if you can try too avoid the medication you will be doing yourself a huge favour in the long run because when my medication got too highest dose and I maintained that dose for many years I came away with far more problems than I started out with and far worse and it took this for me too seek alternatives and like you mentioned meditation is one incredible tool and very effective. It was moving too hear you talk about it especially on a Ren video because he is my favourite artist not only because his music is amazing but also he shares his problems with us and it feels like you have a huge community of support for people with mental health and im thinking if he can push on and you can push on despite these problems then I can do it myself too. I know your busy and don't expect a reply but if you see this I want to wish you all the luck to you and your family and remember when you are feeling at your worst just remember in that moment it is only temporary and push on.

[@leoscone4036]

Knowing him to be an independent artist I am ultra stoked that he is not only reusing costly props from video to video, but that he is making the usage thematic and properly contextual. Independent artists operate on a shoe string compared to the big labels. And here's Ren offering us yet one more example of how an artist not only doesn't need the big labels, but they make it big on their own giving a clear "F.U." to the "industry" at the same time. He dissed 'em hard in "Hi Ren" and in "Animal Flow" too. Love it. The "industry" would not condone or promote such as Ren produces. Silly tw*ts. Blessings.

[@DomAtaGlance]

I would love to see you guys react to ocean, right here right now, bittersweet symphony

[@MrBurnout22]

the pig i believe represents Rens subconscious voice in his head from Hi Ren, the negative voice the demon that trys to pull him down he always shows up when ren talks his shit! When hes flexing on rap skills he turns into the pig butcher side of his conscious

[@paulashanks3129]

OMG, this one hit me hard with his edge. I love it ❤😊

[@ruckusperchbullet1276]

I figured the pig represents a very cool/creepy/easy to acquire mask. But it’s awesome watching it become so many different things for so many different people. Ren is a freak of nature. Beautiful human being.

[@SimonStringerZC]

Dope reaction!!

[@renemikkelsen7041]

You need se triology jenny screech violet

[@kellymarklong]

Recklezz, check out Ren’s songs Genesis and Power.

[@c-wordplay]

Ren is different 🗣️

[@JoeElliotSA]

I like how ya'll watch the video right through. Your faces say it a thousand words. 😅🎶

[@direnova6284]

The Animal theme has something to do with this album (Sick Boi). He's said it means something to him but he wants people to make up their own meaning.

[@boogieshizzle]

If you look up the book Animal Farm by George Orwell you will understand the meaning of the animals in his videos..😉

[@lisas6388]

Loved the reaction!

[@zerofox3d]

Just puts a smile on your face doesn’t he?

[@dannydyer9961]

I'm gonna say the pig mask comes from the Orwell book Animal Farm, where the pigs take over the farm

[@ericacawthorne790]

Don't forget Crutch feat Bibi

[@Odd_Thought]

The pig is from the book Animal Farm

[@KevinRichardson444]

Genesis please!!!!

[@Aaron-C4]

Ren is so versatile, wait until you check out some of his busking video's.

[@DavidSmith-pc1mr]

He read George Orwell Animal Farm. It represents that with the pigs and animals.

[@thehazelinthejane]

A running theme throughout Ren's music has been speaking out against greed in a capitalistic society and I believe that the pig represents that. Animal Flow seems to confirm that. Some people have thought that it was just directed towards the health care / mental health care industry specifically but I don't think so. I saw another comment that said it was directed towards the music industry but I don't think that's correct either, especially not after watching his interview with Justin Hawkins. If we believe Ren to be telling the truth in his interview regarding his experience with the music industry thus far then it would not make any sense for him to single out that one industry in particular. I think it makes more sense to look at all of Ren's music and consider him more of an "anti-capitalistic pissed off rebel" speaking out against greed in general.

[@ukdnbmarsh]

i like your MJ Discs on the wall there

[@michaelphipps8647]

It's a Bar-ffet!!! ❤

[@lynette.]

Ren says the pig is very personal to him but is enjoying people giving it their own interpretations.

[@shannontrough2680]

You still haven't seen anything yet!!!!

[@kennethmoore427]

Can you react to Ren and his band the push doing I shot the Sherrif. There are two versions but the version most people are reacting to is so amazing. Diferent side if him

[@AgentLynch616]

Thx for your reaction. Check out Ren ‘losing it’.

[@frankydominguez6581]

Losing it is an awesome one.

[@JonNo86]

The upcoming Sick Boi album is mostly a conventional hip-hop album for Ren and he said it's kind of a one-off. You should listen to a few of his "normal" tracks...and I say that loosely because there's definitely nothing normal about Ren's music. Check out Life is Funny, Heretic, Everybody Drops, Chalk Outlines, and How To Be Me for a more "standard" sample of his music. You said you're doing Humble next and that one is really dope! I think if any of his songs would be a pop radio hit, it would be that one.

[@andy2950]

Ren said in an interview that he started rapping just to get recognition and respect from "real" rappers.

[@boxicuk1620]

🔥🔥🔥👌

[@lynette.]

Try Chalk outlines (live) and How to be me (live) to hear hauntingly beautiful voices.

[@Jadedxx]

Youre gonna love Humble, Ren X Chinchilla How To Be Me live, Genesis, Losing It amd the Big Push I Shot The Sheriff/Road To Zion/Hip Hop 🔥

[@chris6186]

Symbolizes the pig in "Animal Farm" by George Orwell..........

[@Ade2bee]

When he reacted to one of you reactors, the guy asked what the pig was about? And wondered. Ren has said that he is never, well more or less unlikely to tell anybody what the pig is about

[@SirGenesis7]

If you want to understand the relevance of the pigs, read Animal Farm by Orwell.

[@jamesdoherty6558]

more ren ren ren please

[@redzwestisbest]

illest is play on his health and his skiills as a reapper

[@kbab3333]

My latest favorite is The Money Game Part I and II.

[@pirada74]

🔥🔥

[@redangel169]

You would love 'Animal flow'.

[@scott5669]

You have to react to Rens Rock Band - The Big Push,,,Their Fire!

[@xxshatteredmetalxx]

I counted once. I think he switches flows like 12 times just in this one song.

[@tony367]

Great reaction, please do Genesis and Losing it by Ren

[@mavsfanuk]

Search Justin Hawkins interview with Ren, so many questions answered..

[@redzwestisbest]

the pig is a secret with Ren..he won't give it up

[@child_of_gaia1836]

Ren left the Pig for the viewer's the choose the meaning.

[@chefstar72]

Read the book Animal Farm and watch some Stanley Kubrick movies. It gives you a good idea of what he's thinking, in addition to his life story.

[@collinking4310]

To me the slaughter pig represents people that choose money and power over decency and humanity

[@independentunityreacts]

Pig represents "the man" so to say... I think

[@Dad-JanieWorld]

Do chinchilla live version of Fingers. Has to be live version. It’s unique performance. Like masterpiece level one. Live version of fingers

[@drawbeats7469]

the pigs represents the 1%

[@johnwesch5926]

Power or Money Game 1. 2.

[@livibam]

Honestly I think reactors should do a 1st full listen with no pause. go back then do the pausing on the 2nd reaction

[@iwakarunia7845]

Pls Check REN - The Tale of Jenny and Screech

[@chadclaude9044]

Greed. Butcher… who cares?

[@garbeal2397]
