Just When I Thought He Couldn't Surprise Me Anymore... Ren - Slaughter House

[@32a34a]

Is it me or does Ren only make masterpieces.

[@AnotherFacelessDigitalNoOne]

Naw... it's us all ❤

[@mrdarengilbert3907]

I think you are soooo right

[@ScottyRosencrance-dq4pj]

Nah, we all validate your feelings All of us! I need you guys to do the same for me sometimes, as I have such extreme opinions and emotions becasue of RENs MASTERPIECES! I love this community. I can’t get enough of

[@mrfreeze2446]

It's just u & a core percentile of the worlds population who are to young to know any better, this cornball is the biggest dork I've seen for MANY a year, it's beyond contrived & pretentious on every level, the schtick is pathetic & played out, wearing the video concept for "without me" by Eminem from 20 years ago like a kid wearing his mum's bath towel pretending it's a super hero cape is tragic, he looks & sounds like a goofball doing it-he doesn't even have presence, the music is by the numbers played out AF garbage, contrived self deprecation & endless meds talk is embarrassing even when it's actually cool looking & sounding-but this character sounds idiotic & looks ridiculous, his fans are pale skinned uni students who's parents are GP's, GARBAGE

[@mikep83]

Catching that Low Key/Loki bar was insane 👏 Not seen anyone else catch that. Ren smashed this but so did you. Thank you.

[@jorice5528]

Yes 100%, awesome reaction 😊

[@Steve_W27]

Lowkey is also one of the absolute greatest UK rappers EVER! I was thinking it might be a huge reach by me to think Ren was referencing him, here. BUT - he then went on a couple of lines to use "Fire In The Booth". Well Lowkey's two FITB performances (Charlie Sloth show, BBCRadio 1) are absolute legendary...... Would be cool if this is intentional from Ren in the way I've just alluded to!

[@ScottyRosencrance-dq4pj]

Fact! That was amazing!

[@YvonneMckay-q8c]

I also have chronic lyme disease and I totally can relate to this song man he's an amazing artist amazing singer and got me balling and laughing and dancing at the same time

[@Fonpol68]

Lyme disease is a tough battle. Please take care

[@DerMartinSR]

All these references to his other songs, phenomenal! "Rosy cheeks" from Jennys Tale, "Here lies the body of Ren" which is the translation of a part of the Welsh eulogy at the beginning of Seven Sins

[@BrunoBarata78]

Even his flows are flows he used before in other songs, brought together here in an next level mix.

[@DerMartinSR]

@BrunoBarata78 even the adlibs... like the "hruh hruh" at the beginning, I think it is in Wicked Ways.. i definitely recognized it

[@Splattercat82]

Oops he did it again =)

[@cocoanco7]

... sounds like a tune 😅😅😅🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@milagrosmendez77]

He never disappoints 😊🥰

[@Jason_xofilos]

Indeed.

Britney'd it.

[@ievamichna7173]

Ren killed the Sick boi, long live Johnson 🎉

[@llamatangent]

...who's Johnson? I probably should know this, but somehow, I missed it.

[@mstewart109]

​@@llamatangent- Johnson is the rabbit logo who is in place of the red Sic Boi logo

[@timbrown6715]

He honored Knox by wearing the sweatshirt he wore at Secret Garden Party and it sounded like he shouted out Dotta with the King-dumb line

[@davidjames3080]

Knox was wearing Ren's new merch at SGP, only made available to people at SGP - this is the merch he is just about to drop on his website (there's even a small video preview on there that Ren took us to in the live chat).

[@K8TDidToo]

Came here to point this out. Launch is live next Thursday, same bat time. @@davidjames3080

[@tjh5716]

Ren heals my soul and stimulates my brain.

[@BekkaGotLost]

He stimulates more than my brain 😂

[@thegingermenace8593]

I looked her up during Ren's premiere and her name is "Kit" and apparently she's gonna be on a lot of this album Gaia=Greek Mother of life & Greek Goddess of Earth Taertaros = Deepest part of the underworld where they send the wicked Elysium = The Elysian Fields meaning, also known as Elysium, is an area within the underworld in Greek Mythology where the souls of heroes and the most virtuous people reside.

[@Soleyin]

Thanx for the info! ❤

[@thegingermenace8593]

@Soleyin Anytime! 🔥❤️

[@AndrewinAus]

This, I watched the video for the first time and wondered how many people would see the names and recognise the significance. The Elysium Fields reference really gave me a punch considering what has been Ren's existence from what he's described.

[@Chronically_Kimberly]

I think that's the name of his sister.

[@thegingermenace8593]

@AndrewinAus exactly! I went back and watched his life story again. All 8 of them. And CRAZY what he's been through. I have bad chronic pain. So I don't think a lot of my family understands why he's such a huge part of my life. I love his references, the way he thinks, his brilliant mind & art. Because to me he's no rapper, he's a artist who can do so many things including rap like a god. He taught himself on his own beats he had been making & selling. Which is how he knows how to do every aspect in his music. Nobody else could do it so he uses KZbin to learn. He's a genius.

[@K8TDidToo]

Your observation about the parallel of the autoimmunity and the last scene is very astute.

[@K8TDidToo]

Really impressed with your discussion of the symbolism of all the Rens. 💜 And the tarp illusion.

[@sarahsloan4456]

Ren strapped down on the table gives such Clockwork Orange vibes 😎

[@silversong4VR]

And Dexter. Great series!

[@juergen404]

Glad the second part of the sentence wasn't what I feared would come ;)

[@Stewart-m7i]

Rens lyrics are unmatched. Stunning Video too. Love all the cultural references & shout outs to his other songs.

[@sasscam]

I love watching different people react to Ren. Everyone I watch adds something a little different to what someone else gets from his art. And that's the beauty of this artist.

[@Luke-cecilpod]

I’ve never heard an artist like ren in my life I genuinely think he’s the most talented artist I’ve ever heard everything he does is fresh new & hungry at the same time & his absolute honesty is what makes it actual art there’s so many aspects of art in every production he does.

[@MehetabelsShadow]

The title Slaughterhouse takes me immediately to the Kurt Vonnegut classic Slaughterhouse 5. Just the first of many references.

[@arrowofkira5658]

I feel like in his songs he invites you into his maze and most people enjoy the trip until they find the key for the exit and the exit (understanding the core meaning of the song and move on with their lifes until Ren creates another song/maze) but i feel like what his music really wants you to do is to get lost in this maze of ambiguous creativity trying to find some kind of clue for the truth of the universe. There's a reason why so many people have Ren on repeat in their playlist because everytime there's something new to discover or another way of interpreting his music. It definately encourages me to be more creative myself even when i don't possess the innate thrive or talent to create art like he does. But he sure makes me wander in this maze! ❤

[@williamharris9446]

The beat switches are absolute 🔥🔥🔥🔥!!! I waited for u to say WHAT IN THE UNICORN FARTS?" at the end 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@rosalieelliottofficial]

haha i have one w it, but i am debating changing the design and making it more fierce/intense/unique., thank you for putting it back on my radar :) feel free to make design suggestions

[@williamharris9446]

@rosalieelliottofficial some how tie in the earrings reference

[@centralWisconsin1]

As a chronic Lyme disease patient myself, I appreciate REN on so many levels, & even in this video, I get it, I understand the pain, fear, frustration, but this was very dark and hard to watch (& I watched the video in entirety earlier today, before I watched your video). I respect REN, so I watched the video through the entirety on his channel, as I believe in him as a person, and I believe in him as the artist. I then watched your reaction as I find your reaction is very insightful. Thank you for the analogy of the red and white image REN was portraying, comparing that to the body fighting itself with an autoimmune condition. I didn’t even think of that, but I think you are spot on with your analogy there. I totally missed that, and ironically, my body is doing the same thing to me, and I did not pick up on that. -Thank you for pointing that out, and for all your insights. Perhaps because I’m on my own Lyme darkness, I wasn’t able to see all this. Again, thank you for all your insights!

[@annaolsson1312]

❤❤❤❤strenght to you!

[@MarkHansberger]

My first introduction to Ren was HI REN and like you and almost everybody else (reactors), I was floored by the message he was putting out there and this was before knowing anything about him. Just seeing your reation and the amount of heart felt empathy you showed for somebody you just heard for the first time is immeasurable. You say your not a therapist but you click all the boxes. You just can't help but feel Ren's pain especially after going through all his music, interviews, ect... Everytime I dive into the Ren rabbit hole I find something different and I love it. I just wanted to thank you for your EMPATHY. I will never forget the emotion you showed when Ren stood up towards the end of HI REN. I am also of German descent, well half. What do you get when you cross a Mexican with a German? A BEANER-SCHNITZEL 😂 if Hitler could see us now hahaha😂🤣😅🤣😂 I absolutely love you girl take care Love your show

[@Lulabee2024]

omg LMAO!!

[@Lynxeye-Youtube]

"Oh my gosh!..." Exactly what I thought and felt! Thanks for the reaction.

[@Tamisday]

This one was a bit rough because it hit so close to home but after I digested it I found myself sharing it with friends outside the chronic illness community to be like, this. This is where I am. As an aside I noticed something during your reaction about the way he articulated fetus. It sounded a bit like, “defeat us,” when listening to the whole bar.

[@rosalieelliottofficial]

i can only image how close to home it must have felt :( but i hope it helps w feeling less alone and knowing you are seen. and regarding the "defeat us", that's an interesting perspective.

[@MichaelHaynes-bx4vm]

Rosalie, you’re the best! I love your videos! Ren is brilliant and so you are! Thank you for your reactions.. Hope, he will get better soon. I am still struggling quite badly but this is really helping me and probably others too. Some people always say to me ‘why are you listening to this heavy topic music’? I always respond because I don’t want to hear the same old crap and just be under the impression everything is okay when it’s not. I want music to make some sense and meaning. I love his music and I always will. It’s just not because you want to keep going down hill, we are a community and we help each other in difficult times. Some people really don’t understand it and we are quite lucky because we do, I guess, lol. So thank you so much for this video x

[@jorice5528]

Wonderful truthful comment ❤

[@MichaelHaynes-bx4vm]

@@jorice5528 thank you x

[@rosalieelliottofficial]

thank you for this comment!! so glad that you know you are not alone and that you find substance in his music and hopefully in what i share too. i understand what you mean. i think many are craving authenticity and the courage to respectfully and honestly address hard topics without getting lost or feeling lonely in despair.

[@Lou-xq9br]

Fire as alway's 🔥 Love to him & all ♥️

[@willeymiller4760]

Oh thank you for doing this one right away your break down of this is so dang good I agree with you the fact that through all he must be going through at the moment and he is still putting out masterworks of art I have never heard of any other artists that have done or would do what he does for his art for everyone to connect to so that we know we are not alone in this world and his messages are what we all need to hear. Thank you again another reason you ride or die forever till next ride Eyyyyyy Oooooo

[@dorothyzetterstrom1691]

Tartaros was ruled by Hades, the ruler of Hell. The damned in Tartaros had not thought that the gods would dare to punish them. So they committed heinous crimes without caring about the consequences. But if there was one thing the gods couldn't stand, it was ordinary mortals who think they are invincible.

[@Mamabear-kw8dk]

Its hard especially for those that feels like they got no one so they suffer in slience.

Excellent review rosalie you too have passed with flying colours !❤

The video really elevates the music (and vice versa) so much in this one. There are several ways to interpret the symbolism. This was amazing.

There was a time when Moses had to battle the Amalekites. Israel was having their butts handed to them unless Moses held his hands in the air. Moses was tired so his brother Aaron and Hur stood on each side of him and and held his arms up until Israel had the victory. Hang on Ren Rosalie and I are here for you. For those of you renegades that's lives have been changed by Ren. The time is now. Pray for Ren.Lift him up. He is all of our brotha from anotha motha. Ren. You are too important to me. Someday we will meet. God bless.

Rens world grows with eveey song, every scheme and reference. The thought that gets us fans to every amazing new drop is impeccable, irrefutable and appreciated ❤

[@davec4955]

Each time I watch it, it gets better. 🤯

[@sigally]

Rosalie, you did an amazing breakdown. ❤It is not possible, to get through all the layers. 🤔 So many references to things that only some will be familiar with. The Loki movie you mentioned, definitely not reaching. I googled it and the image was one that Ren uses in the video as well as the meaning of it. He uses film references so often. The nursery rhymes (I didn't catch that) that are present in almost every track, the doubles, some so subtle it takes multiple listens to get some. The wordplay too, crazy. Then, the symbolism in the video. The portrayal of the womb. Not only is he wrapped in plastic as Dexter did with his victims, the visual depicts a human in an actual womb as Ren is in the fetal position.😮 Its taking me several listens to get some stuff (all the lyrical references of his music that he puts in every song, the doubles I get, etc), but also the things the good reactors find. It's a 1,000 piece puzzle that takes a long time to complete. 😊💜 💚 💙

[@lapenesr]

This is like Shrek’s onion analogy. There are a lot of layers to this song and to Ren himself. Ren is a lyrical genius.

I diddnt know your first language was German. I spend a few years there in the Army but never picked up much of the language. I did however get a taste for a group you’ve likely heard of called Rammstein.

I've been meaning to tell you, Rosalie, thank you for sharing your intelligence with and imparting your wisdom on us. Your videos always make me think and challenge me to think harder or differently or suspend thought altogether and just feel. I'm not just trying to gas you up. I mean it with the most sincerity. ❤❤

[@highlightshadow]

All the opening words like Elysium, Gaia etc are all "heaven" and "hell" from different times/culture --- he must be in living hell sometimes. In spite of all that he suffers, he still puts out masterpieces like this and Money Ties. If Ren were 100% and able to realise his dreams entirely it would be a magnum opus

[@MarkHansberger]

Loki was the Norse god of mischief

[@jamesmccubbing7222]

Ghia is the goddess Persephone in the afterlife realm of Elysium who was a prisoner of the god of the underworld Tartarus Hades who he was also married to so this whole scheme is using Greek mythology to implement his suffering. and the sword of Damocles.... 😪😪 this really does encapsulate what "feeling like hell" means its incredible absolutely shook my core i really relate to this absolute masterpiece !!!
