I feel that with all of Rens music. First listen is never as good as the second for me. After that second listen then I “get it” and feel the song how (I assume) he feels it and the whole song comes together like a masterful painting in my head. He’s truly an artist with the way he writes and produces, every little piece intentional and with purpose
Same - Almost every song of his it's the second listen when it all kicks in and makes sense to me (and I always wonder why I didn't hear it that way the first time!)@@tacos9632
Sounds like Ska towards the end. Reminded me of The Specials. Ren loves his Ska and Reggae. Love how he uses the odd sample from his other tracks and the roar/growl from Animal Flow. These build and connect his catalogue on a very personal level for the listener. And as for Queen, prodigy and, in my view, the ska influences at the end, in a rap track. This part of the genius of Ren.
Great reaction vod. Ren's nutty my man. The way he reuses the chorus repeatedly as you'd expect, but every time it's dramatically different, whether he's split up the sections of the chorus differently, or changing the tempo of the delivery, or the added back vocals. Then on the penultimate time he reaches the chorus he uses your expectation of hearing the 'clean' vocals by distorting at "rightousness" for the break down. Love it.
Since I saw a few IG stories Ren shared with little snippets of this track I’ve been excited to hear this….absolute 🔥🔥🔥probably one of my favourite tracks on the album. Great reaction…love your insights.
5:05 You are spot on. Ren said himself in a recent interview that he sees singing the closest to playing a cello, whereas rapping is percussion instruments. 25 years ago, I studied Jazz singing. Plus, I am a language lover. I have to give huge credit to Tom Macdonald for bringing me back to rap after I took a break from that side of music for two decades. But yeah, the last song of my final singing exam in 2001 was "Tag am Meer" from Die Fantastischen Vier, over a cut and pasted track we knutseld from "6 Underground" by Sneaker Pimps. (I assume you know of both bands as a European music lover) So back in the late 90's, I was all Beastie Boys and RATM etc. Then studied Jazz and had No Rhythm to save my life. Which made things really difficult. But somehow, I could rap the entire "Lauschgift" album by Fanta4. The rhythmic intrinsics of Ren are producing a coloured firework🎆 in my brain. I can only describe it as the scene where the Chef rat in Ratatouille explains flavour combinations to his brother. Ren's lyrical kungfu makes his words sparkle🎇 in my brain. Whereas Tom blows up gigantic bangers💣...(I lie. "I'm Sorry" and "No Response" also give me the pyros.) And I am in no way a synesthetic. Your beat boxing over the end was quite titillating! My favourites of the album are Seven Sins and Illest of our Time. Oh gosh, I can't chose, now.
SEvin Sins is so cool so far. Wicked Ways seems a compilation of theemes and rewored bars from various Ren lyrics of past rap. But the flows in this are just freaking amazing.
