Nice reaction. Ren's album "sick boi" hit number 1 for the weekly UK charts. He is trending top spots on itunes and the American charts. He has been grinding away for years with a chronic illness and he is about to blow up around the world. This album is fire, I love it all. All his music prior to sick boi is great as well.
In my opinion, the pig mask represents the corruption and greed in our society. What it means to Ren? That’s up to him! He gives his viewers the freedom to interpret this for themselves! great reaction sub from me👏 💪👍
Hi there! Now that you mention it I think you might be right, it makes sense that the pig would represent that. Thanks for your support, glad to have ya on board!
You’re not the first to relate this to Kanye musically. He definitely inspired it. This is literally explaining a chunk of Rens life with his illnesses and misdiagnoses. Nice react, excited to see what you pick next 🖤
Did you know he has Lyme disease and related autoimmunity caused by the damage of seven years incorrect treatment which included being told it was all in his head not real. The next sick boi song and seven deadly sins describe the hell he has been through loosing most of his twenties in the process This song is angry and descriptive of his lived experience He was signed to Sony at 19/20 and making a more pop oriented album when his illness began and devastated his body causing the psychosis
Hi there! Wow thanks for describing all that, I can't believe he has been through so much, yet he seems extremely productive and motivated. More reactions coming soon. Welcome to the Channel!
I'm enjoying your reactions! Ren has said he prefers to leave the meaning of the pig to the interpretation of the viewer. It represents something specific to him but he won't reveal that unless it makes sense to do so musically at some point.
But please do the lyric/studio version of Money Game 2, if you do it! In a lot of cases the live versions Ren does are equal if not even better but Money Game 2 has a live version that is significantly cut down from the original. I've seen quite a few reactors doing the 'wrong one' lately, so worth mentioning.
Hi there, thanks for your suggestions! I did watch Money Game Pt 3 already, it was my first introduction to Ren, but will check out the other ones. Welcome to the Channel!
It wasn't mental health that was the real problem. This largely deals with his years of misdiagnosis. He was told that his physical symptoms were all psychosomatic, ie all in his head. They misdiagnosed him with a range of mental health conditions and the drugs they put him on not only made his condition and it's associated chronic pain, much worse, they also helped to induce full-blown psychosis. Meanwhile his real illnesses, Lyme and Mast Cell, were ravaging his body and brain, causing constant, nonstop, excruciating, chronic pain! Causing brain damage, extensive nerve damage and damage to his bones, joints and internal organs. This went on for the best part of a decade and he was bedridden for much of seven years! He's still incredibly ill, in near constant pain, frequently chronic and has to have more or less the same meal, every single mealtime, as he's allergic to virtually all food! However things have improved enough, via the correct but very heavy, treatment, that he now has enough "good" days to have an actual life. We need to remember that, when we see Ren, we're seeing him on one of those "good" days... Though we can be thankful that they are becoming more frequent occasions! :)
Wow, I can't even imagine how terrible his situation was, specially dealing with brain damage and constant pain. I think that played a role in his odd creativity genius- borderline crazy style. I'm glad he made the best out of what could have been a completely different life. His legacy will live on...
Ah... the Pig. He pops up alot. Who or what he is? You get to Decide. Ren will not say. Besides saying the Pig is personal to him. We do know who wears the mask for Ren. But that is not what you are asking for.
Some people have suggested that the pig represents the greed in government or something like that, but that wouldn't make much sense for this video, so know knows. I thought it might represent his inner struggle, his mental demons.
