Black Pegasus FIRST time REACTION to REN - Halftime ( Nas Retake )! This is 🔥 

Ren did the whole pie scheme, and this dropped on Pi Day. This is for the nerds I guess. lol

When he transitions out of the nucleus scheme, "split an atom in a fraction, a reaction... supersize me" he's giving a shout out to the reactors who broke down his work and helped him blow up.

Ren went full Oppenrhymer

I'm a Death Metal fan, but Black Pegasus has me opening my mind to some really good SH**! Thanks to you introducing me to this dude, I'm definitely Renegade!

That crosswalk clock stopped at exactly 0 when Ren stopped.

15:18 and just as he's referring to the old school greats, a school bus drives by 😮🎉

🙋🏼‍♂️ 🇬🇧 Ren with the pie scheme on THURSDAY 14 MARCH ... PI DAY !! .. coincidence or Ren is too *ucking clever !! 🙏🏻✌🏻

One take, retake. Calgary streets. Dope rap scheme. This is my shit.

FYI: By his preteen years, NAS had settled on pursuing a career as a rapper, and as a teenager enlisted his best friend and upstairs neighbor Willie “Ill Will” Graham as his DJ (hence III ref in Ren’s retake). Nas first went by the nickname Kid Wave (hence Wave reference in Ren’s retake) before adopting his more commonly known alias of Nasty Nas. Nas made his on-record debut as one in his group Main Source with a verse on “Live at the BBQ”, from Main Source’s LP Breaking Atoms. (Again Ren used the breaking atom scheme in his retake) Ren knows his Hip Hop History)

Knox Hill noticed that he timed that street crossing at 7:47 perfectly with the light. That's paying attention.

It started with 'the sales/sails will rise'

"I'm pimping my pain" ... "put my problems on the paper and my sales will reign" - This Ren going deep AF lyrically here, in some respects he's making a dig at himself, whilst also recognising that his problems have also been a large part of his success and lyrical content! The man's a genius!

I think this is some of Ren's best penmanship. Mad scheming. I especially love the whole rain / sales / sails / pirates / pied piper / pie rats scheme. Straight fire. I love both this retake and The Hunger for the sheer flex of how hard he can go with condensed rhymes, multisyllabics etc - but I can't wait for him to put out a full 5/6 minute track filled with it. Illest of Our Time and Losing It are two of my favourites of his, just because they feel more complete as tracks.

Love how you support Ren.. You're a top bloke.☮️💓🇬🇧

Ren is a Goat. No need to compare but that was an awesome tribute. So many bars and the flow was so good!!

This was so ridiculously fire, I hope NAS hears this. He will be amazingly flattered and impressed. Dude while you’re on old rap songs, I am super shocked and I’ve been waiting to see your reaction to Adam Calhoun’s shook ones remix. That was absolutely unbelievable as well. I thought you might be staying away from it because The stupid diss battle between him and Upchurch. But you should know that this was not an Upchurch diss. He clearly makes that known in this song he is definitely irritated about the situation, but explains how much he loves Upchurch and he’s his friend. He put an end to that crap. really hope that you do a reaction to it. It’s got almost 1,000,000 views in two weeks. He killed it old school rap

Nas is my all time Nr.1 and Halftime is one of my favourite tracks so this is dubs all round for me. BTW, I love the cassette tape reference to how we all probably first listened to Illmatic right at the end of the track.

One of my favourite lines ‘salute with bars’…….Ren, always respecting and paying tribute to the roots of his art 🔥🔥knew you’d love it. Thanks BP 💜

Crazy fact: Halftime, For Joe, and Fred Again were all shot within 2 km from each other. Love the reactions. You need to get Ren to live react to your retake of Money Game when it drops.

The pie rats line because pie is 3.14 and it's march the 14th today. Dope

Did you see Ren paused and stopped walking as the traffic lights hit Zero, genius timing.

THANK YOU BP for breaking this down so fantastically for us. I am not a huge rap fan, mostly because i mainly cant keep my brain up to speed with what is being said, but i know Ren and how much meaning, double entendre's and humour he puts to his work i needed to find a reactor to do this for me. You were the first one i thought of so thank you for reacting so quickly ❤ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Ren is goated, IMO, in many genres! I'm just saying there's nothing he can't sing. He doesn't stick with one genre. He is his own genre, RenGen, if you will! I'm here for the for the show!✌️😊

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥from Ren once again ❤❤❤

BP, you are amazing when it comes to the history of rap & hip hop. I can't wait to see what you've got lined up! happy birthday! ♥️🎶🙏🎶♥️

The link from the pirates to rats bringing the bubonic flow is pure 🔥🔥🔥

One of the AWESOME things about Ren is that while introducing a whole new crowd to hip-hop, he's also telling us what hip-hop is. He doesn't just create new stuff, he's pointing in the direction of "If you like this, check these classics out".

Thank you, BP. Superb, as ever.

The balls on Ren to try and then pull it off ❤❤a couple reactors couldn't handle even playing with halftime. But he did it perfectly. Paid homage too

In 1994, Large Professor produced three of the ten songs on Nas's Illmatic ("Halftime", "One Time 4 Your Mind", and "It Ain't Hard to Tell"), the most of any producer involved with the album. Breaking Atoms is the debut album of American/Canadian hip hop group Main Source, released July 23, 1991, on Wild Pitch Records. Production was handled by the group, primarily by member Large Professor, and took place during 1990 to 1991 at Homeboy Studio, Power Play Studios, and Libra Digital in New York City. The album has been widely regarded by writers and music critics as a significantly influential album and has been noted for debuting rapper Nas, who appears on the track "Live at the Barbeque". His contribution to the song was sampled on "The Genesis", the intro track to his debut album Illmatic (1994).

I loved Nas since I bought illmatic on vinyl when it first came out, to hear Ren do this makes me so unbelievably happy! 🖤🖤🖤

HELP I can’t stop watching this…My brain is on fire 🔥🔥🔥🤘🫶

Here for thissss BP ❤❤❤

Ren is a right clever clogs with all those intricate rhyme schemes 😂and i love it❤

Gotta be real.......never heard the original but I know a Banger when it drops....love the vibe on this one.

BOOZEGUMPS! Bro, you have interviewed one of the best rappers of all time. He's a genius. This kid is about to smoke 'em all and he's just getting started. Incredible!

He's a lyrical genius! Great reaction as always ❤

I just want you to know I love your personality, you uplift souls, you are one of my favorite

Thank you for this BP ❤

Reaction supersize me is a shout out to the reaction channels that have been so supportive

I always get something special watching your input on these tracks. Seeing how hard the Big Mac scheme hit you made me understand just how special it was. I am totally out of my element with Hip Hop and even though I enjoy it, I never really _learned_ about it. So thank you BP

I can’t like this retake enough!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Damn you ren!! Now I have to drop Illmatic on to my speakers today….

The vibe is.... Nostalgia!!❤

Its time!!!!!!❤❤❤❤

He dropped the pi bar on pie day and he dropped that line when he stopped walking as the walking sign stopped as well

Thank you for explaining this tune, it makes me appreciate it even more. Ren is very clever but for you to understand it like that, your a clever man too xx

❤❤❤❤I've had this on repeat since it dropped! It's sooo good! 🔥🔥🔥

Ren is siiiiiick 🔥 And this is the sickest ad for some sick boi merch 😂 Seriously though, Ren showing love for music he loves with his ReNtakes is yet another reason to love this sick boi. Somehow he manages to be humble and show respect for other artists while spitting braggadocios bars 😅 Not quite sure how that’s even possible, but hey it’s Ren doing Ren things 🤣

Watched Ren, watched Nas, now here I am to see your reaction. It's another good one. Great beat from Nas.

I was a little hesitant when I heard Ren was doing a retake of this because it's not something to be taken lightly. If you're gonna do it, it HAS to be done right. But he absolutely crushed it! As soon as I heard it I knew you were gonna love it!

He said he's wavy right before the tectonic plates... you caught earthquake. Seismic waves.

Ren, he does it again.... that is the truth!

Let's get it!

You got it BP, I used to listen to some of the 80’s rap, but REN has brought me back to this genre.

I’m GenX so I know the 80s early 90s big names/songs (imo the best). Obviously huge hits from Kurtis Blow, GMF, Em, NWA, Beastie Boys, but rap wasn’t something I regularly listened to. I thank not only Ren but reactors like you and the Avengers for reintroducing me to my past and giving me more appreciation for the whole hip hop culture❤

This guy's on fire but I just love the way he says order, "supersize my order. ☺️❤️

Hello from Glasgow ❤

I love how much this channel has accepted Ren. And you have for sure helped this young man get discovered. That’s how I discovered him, watching you react to his absolutely amazing music. Keep doing what you’re doing brother, you bridge gaps ✊🏻✊🏻

Great reaction BP love and respect from the UK 👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍

If i heard correctly he used 💪Pack👌🤯 in that tribute to past away and unforgiven Legend too❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Lyrical Miracle, almost Spiritual!!

Genius and professional done. Protect this man

He nailed it! Great breakdown, greetings from Amsterdam!

The rain thing reminds me of a Kamakaze joint he dropped on fire in the booth. I'm the weatherman And I told man whatever the weather man Whether man like it or not I'll weather man down When it rains it pours, I'll get a man drowned (yeah) I'm the weatherman And I told man whatever the weather man Whether man like it or not I'll weather man down When it rains it pours, I'll get a man drowned (yeah) I'm the weatherman Told man it's due to shower all year Roll to the dance in my shaolin gear Gets these couple MCs drowned in here (yeah) I'm the weatherman They know I brought the heat last summer MCs won't get to eat last supper When I turn MC to track runner (yeah what?) I'm the weatherman Big storm's coming down like it's Mike Man better hope they're not flying kites 'Cause man'll come down like lightning strikes (yeah) I'm the weatherman This year I'm bringing hail and snow They ain't hailing Snow like the Game of Thones It's the big Kamdog yeah the name is known (yeah) I'm the weatherman And I told man whatever the weather man Whether man like it or not I'll weather man down When it rains it pours, I'll get a man drowned (yeah) I'm the weatherman And I told man whatever the weather man Whether man like it or not I'll weather man down (listen) You're not a money man, you're a mug with figures Roll strip club, fall in love with strippers Think they're big, because they're bubbly sippers But them man are low like bugs and critters Touch mic 'cause I rap buds and swishers Light up the 'ting like Zugs and clippers Man I move old school like my old school When I rock Nike gloves and Kickers Everybody wanna talk guns and dippers 'Cause everybody wanna be thugs and killers It's weird, ones that we weigh our [censored] with Are the ones we pray and give thanks with And the ones that we hold our [censored] with Are the ones that we hug our nans with It's all madness, city's in deep like Atlantis Kamdog's murkin', standard And any beat that I flow on Man need to know that I'm sho' on I stand out like a yard with no snow on 'Cause man ain't gotta grow when I'm better than him, him and so on Roadrage had me feeling like I'm back off a ban Smellin' like a mil, that's Paco Rabanne Everything mad like [?] Got a Fire in the Booth, bust the cap off the champs This is what they meant by schiz What? This is what they meant by my team Yeah, this is what they meant by licked My bottle is glass and my cup's polystyrene Life on this high beam, a balancing act Opinions, opinions, but talent is fact Your talons have grasped culture to culture My lyrics a sculpture of man and his craft It's like [?] I pity these fools like I'm B.A. Baracus You shake your maracas, you making a racket Lacing a classic like Copacabana And you wonder why man are low (look) Well I told 'em that man are low key My orchestra empty, that's karaoke And it feels like these man love to hate Let me enunciate, they turn love to hate between Spitting bars and kicking a ball You think my life is, well it isn't at all From the lowest of lows to the highest of highs Business is business, it's high and and it's buy In the eye of the buyers I am the rock in the eye of Goliath Alliance of lions Every MC who wrote bars for me Picked out the beat, got too shook to send Indirects come in my direction My voice don't match my complexion Like butters gyal I'm too good for them Hard in the paint, I'm Dulux to them Man are weary I'm Ranieri Put my city on the map, I moved up the ends

SW Germany greets back. Greatest reacts of em all. 40`s leaving his cage! . Keep on dude

Indeed, I generally don't listen to Hip Hop...Ska, Reggae, Rocksteady; that's my kind of music....But I love Ren's music! Money Game, all 3 of them are good; Hi Ren is phenomenal.

I was in the Live - but thank you for explaining so much to me - Love to you and to Ren 🦠💚🦠💚 🫡🫡🫡🫡 mad respect to you both from Lisa autoimmune and lyme warrior 🦠💚

Look up MOE BERG. I suspect the “Eenie meanie miney moe” (randomness equation mimicking Heisenberg’s uncertainty principal), carbon (global warming), diamond (formed from carbon under immense pressure), tectonic (supplying the pressure to form the diamond) & then the Atomic schemes all are playing with MLB great Morris “Moe” Berg’s mission in 1944. Berg means mountain in German, mountains being thrust up by tectonic forces and under which carbon is compressed into diamonds. Once you google Moe Berg 1944 you will make the full circuit to nuclear fallout.

💯♥️ just been watching 27 club

Yo this is the 100th time I heard it and I just caught how the diamond is tied to the tectonic scheme since diamonds come from pressure from the plates and volcanoes....SHEESH!🤯

First react I've seen since I watched it 5 times first 😂.🎉🎉🎉

Incredible, this is fire 🔥, my favorite nas song , going to the top of my spotify

#BP My birthday is also March 24th, I'm 53, hope you have a good birthday. Nice that your dropping 'Mind, Body and Soul' for our birthdays, can't wait to unwrap it. Love to you and yours x

Missed the shout-out to you and other reactors. Keep the love alive. Love your reactions.

❤‍🔥🔥❤‍🔥🔥❤‍🔥🔥

Fucking sick .! 🔥 🔥 🔥 the RIP scheme killed me

At the end of the atom scheme he said reactors supersize me. Clear nod to his reactors there.

Malaysia New Song Before Trending🔥🔥❤❤ Steady Gang - ( 周星翅Chou Xing Chi )MV❤❤❤❤👍🏻

Fuckin Ren!!!❤

👏Great reaction! ❤ 🔥Ren is a genius!

Ren always pays homage to the greats that paced the way... In an age of dis tracks it's refreshing to hear an artist that pays tribute

Oh my GOSH!! I love this kid!

the rhyming king .. sublime ❤

Unreal analytics. Respect from the UK BP

Keep it up knowledge is a gift and it can set your mind free

Haha! 44, what a child. I just turned 50 over the weekend. Now THAT is a MAJOR mindfuck!

It's me, I'm this new audience. Watchin and expandin' my brain with BP, Knox, Ren, it's insane! ❤❤

Gotta keep listening to catch it all

Always tune in to YOU! Much love ❤️ Sue

Nice catch BLKPEG! Tech tonic - Groundbreaking Isotope Atom Splitting - Going Nuclear ☢️

I am well excited for the MG3! Look forward to the collab with AR too, but the MG3 retake is going to be Christmas. Enjoyed this one, thanks BP ❤

That was another outstanding re-take, with all the intricate details, rap flow, bars, wordplay and rhyme schemes, all honoring Nas, as well as other greats! What an honor to have Ren gracing the streets of Calgary with his outrageous talent! Ren is becoming so confident and comfortable in his skin and we are reaping the benefits with all of his musical creations ❤loved your input BP ❤🎉

Don't know how many people noticed the reference to Pi Rats and feed them pie. This video was put out on 3.14. the number of Pi day. This maybe coincidental but knowing Ren this was subliminal. I can't take the credit for spotting this. It was another reactor but what a spot.

Amazing ❤

Great breakdown 👌

Still have my issue of the Source magazine with the NAS review. I don’t think anyone had 5 mics before. Still have my Illmatic too! Ren is always killing it!! Cheers from a 46yo Iowan.

Perfect joint for you to react to P. From your roots to Ren's rap.

Sick drop!!!!!

Siempre a fuego💥
