His lyrical use of double entendres is amazing, "I'm ready I'm heavy, I’m Mercury, I am Freddy,..." Mercury being a HEAVY metal, Freddy Mercury....😵💫 C'MON! Even the title is a double entendre - "Illest of our Time". He's spent 10 years severely ill with Lyme's disease and autoimmunity. He's receiving treatment in Canada right now. He's firing warning shots in this one and making sure everyone takes notice. Nice to see him showing some attitude and confidence, being a little braggadocious. I Love it. "I, want to spread these tattered wings, hold 'em high, banished from the heavens but I'm knocking on the sky"......FIRE!!!! He did a live stream right after the video dropped (on Twitch), and to see his genuine, emotional reaction to how many reaction channels had already posted videos within an hour of the songs release, was truly heartwarming. He shares his soul. This young man deserves every bit of love , support, and success he's finally getting. I couldn't be happier for him, especially for someone so talented, so driven, and without question, someone who has been forged through fire. Love this kid! Fan for life
Il est vraiment très bon le meilleur pour moi qui l'a découvert depuis maintenant quelque semaine je ne peu plus me passer de REN écoute en boucle et pour des raisons similairea mes pathologies merci à vous 🙏💖👍👏
Making and producing your own beats is a bit of a cheat code since they can match the beat to the flow they want BUT good rappers match their flow to the beat. Outstanding rappers make their flow PART of the beat. Ren is one of those that uses his vocals as an extra instrument throughout the song.
I could be wrong, but the whole ending of this song guts me. "I don't feel so fresh, my bro / Things get slurry, speaking slow / Head in Hong Kong, wonton soup / Is what I have for brains, I know" [Because of his brain damage, he has noodles for brains] "That I want to spread these tattered wings, hold them high / Banished from the heavens but I'm knocking on the sky" [He wants to feel better, to fly, but feels like he's close to death and Heaven doesn't want him. This really resonates to anyone who's suffered to the point of wanting life (God, their illness, karma, etc.) to kill them, and realizing the path ahead won't be the release of death but more suffering and pain instead.] "Living with depression is a blessing in disguise / Never second guessing, intuition getting wise / Want to sink into the pupil of my eye / Travel to the corner of my cornea and mind" [He's gotten wise about his life, and he finds himself in an impossible place - there are no corners in a sphere/cornea.] "Look for all the answers that I never seem to find / Till then, I guess I'm still the illest of our time" [He keeps looking for answers or reasons behind his illness and suffering, but it doesn't work. He's still sick, and there's little hope that will change.] So, yeah, to me it's quite sad. Despairing. Clever though. And I liked the Tyson-biting bars that few people seem to catch, which probably means I'm old, but I would think boxer Mike Tyson biting part of Holyfield's ear off would be infamous. Great reaction. I don't mind pauses when it's because you're listening to the lyrics. I have no idea what all these comments are about. The whole point of watching a YT reaction is to get that channels' opinion, and if you don't like it, go to a different channel Why people gotta hate like that - especially anyone who claims to be a Ren fan. The man literally apologized in advance for his diss. Pretty sure his message is to "BE KIND." 🙄
One thing I have found that almost everyone misses: "Alpha-betty spaghetti" There was a doll throughout the early to mid 2000s called Betty Spaghetti that was SUPER popular
I just found ur channel & subscribed! Could u both react together to any of these Ren videos: ▪️The Hunger ▪️Murderer & Murderer Acoustic Live Version ▪️Power ▪️I Forgot How To Be Me ft Chinchilla ▪️Chalk Outlines ft Chinchilla
If you havent heard his live cover of i shot the sheriff/zion/hip hop you'll be amazed especially his rendition of hip hop it's short but unbelievable.
Yo, yall are amazing first, second, this song needs a dictionary and a thesaurus for all.his words...but give it a few more listens to catch ALL the bars, and also this is my favorite rap from Ren
Noah was late for the ark, as in he had to work day and night to get it built before the flood came, he was late in the fact he was rushed to accomplish building it, where he was down to the wire on getting it built and loaded just getting done as God sent the flood water to wipe out what was not loaded on the ark and saved from being destroyed..
Always a great reaction from you both, but this was extra fun as I love “Illest of …”. I really like the callbacks like “Screech” and “Masochist”, and the word play is amazing, even for Ren. Oh, and the end, it is almost like beautiful poetry (“knocking on the sky”). Thanks for this 😊 👍
I love your reactions but please concider not using that lighting at the back again. It makes it hard to focus on your faces and triggered a Retinal Migrain for me. Now I'm seeing weird shapes and shakey zig-zag lines. I want to keep watching your videoss but wont be able to watch anymore if you use that particular lighting.
