TheBlackSpeed Reacts to Sick Boi by Ren! This song is HEARTBREAKING...but I'm HAPPY I watched! 

I’m a pediatric oncology nurse and I’ve treated so many young people with NHL over the past 30 years…. You’re so right about our hospital systems putting greed over people. It’s gross and frustrating and the only reason I don’t quit is because somebody has to care…. I hope you’re well. I love your channel and I now understand why you’re so empathetic and insightful. I’m glad you finally got the right diagnosis and treatment 💛

We love Ren because he’s not afraid to say something with his whole chest. While there’s a lot of deep songs, he can be more lighthearted when he feels like it.

Thank you for sharing your story with us 💜 I think you're gonna really love rens catalog, and they aren't all super serious heavy songs I promise 😂 💜💜

I'm sorry if we overshared!😂 We kinda like the guy and want everyone to understand why we are so protective of him. Thank you for sharing your challenges. Trust me, none of us will run the other way. Most of us have a story that puts us all in the same corner. I've been through open heart surgery and heart failure. Ren sings for all of us. I am absolutely tickled that you are still with us! Your simple joy shines through. Cool reaction. Many people think the pig is the medical system but I think it is more personal to Ren. Maybe his own animalistic, dark side or perhaps his illness that bleeds him. My current favorite is Hold On. Or Murderer acoustic.

Actual comment in the actual comment section for the 'rithm - Thank you for your authenticity and for sharing some of your story. Every time someone is vulnerable it gives the people around them permission to be vulnerable as well and, as Ren has pointed out, the softer we are the easier the dance gets.

I've seen hundreds of reactions to REN- some were ok, some nice, some not so much, I love your attitude, it feels like listening to an old friend- so relatable! Thank you for your content- high five from your new sub from Lithuania

New subscriber here! Thank you for your open and honest reactions to Ren's music. As someone with an autoimmune disease who is currently struggling through the medical system, I appreciate your vulnerability in speaking about what you've gone through. Makes all of us still struggling know that there's a means to an end. Thank you!

Man, you're picking this up FAST! A lot of reactors don't seem to pick up on the intacracies in his lyrics this fast!

Great reaction. This one has a tendency to trigger folks that have been lost in the Healthcare system. For any length of time. Ren has a unique way of writing through the eyes of the HUMAN existence. Something we ALL share.

I'm so glad you're here with us, after all that. ❤

Thank you for your honest reaction. I’m sorry for what you went through. Glad you are better and your hair is fab!

For upbeat from Ren that won’t leave you with a lot to digest afterwards, try Losing It. It’s just purely fun. I really appreciated your sharing your story, so here’s an algorithm comment

I'm so glad I discovered your channel, that was a powerful reaction, I'm sorry you had to go through that. You really do get Ren though. Please don't limit your Ren reactions, his catalogue is deep and you, and we, are going to love discovering it together. Looking forward to the next one. 🖤🖤🖤

Thank you for supporting a great musician, his new album...sick boi....drops Oct.13. Pre-orders right now.

That is a powerful song but hell your response and answers were also powerful . You have been in a similar hell . Your eloquence and passion shone thru .

Appreciate the reaction and you sharing your story with us and really glad that you are doing better now. Thanks for sharing your Ren journey with us. Peace friend.

Power is one if my favorites of his for just feeling good.

Love watching new people react to Ren's videos! Hopefully you'll keep working your way through Ren's library. If you love the creative stuff, you gotta react to the Jenny and Screech trilogy. So many more great ones, but this three part series is truly unique with a lot of stuff to break down.

Yaaaay blue ball release! Longest 4 day wait ever!

Sorry you went thru such a mess. My experience was faster, diagnosis was quick, maybe 3 weeks. It took that long because they were trying to get a sample of my network of tumors and much of the masses were scar tissue. Finally did a bio under my jaw and confirmed what type of Non-Hogkins lymphoma I had. From there it was a long course of very harsh chemo, a bout with massive DVT's and years out of work. That was in 2008. Still here even though the chemo eventually ate my heart and I had to get a transplant. I'm getting back in shape after that but I do remember the good docs and nurses, as well as the bad ones. Most of the bad ones just seemed to be burnt out. That rate is very high in Oncology. I asked one of my night nurses during the 6 weeks I spent in Hoag Hospital fighting the DVT's how they could do it. I mean, I was probably the healthiest one on the floor and I was touch and go. Seeing that everyday at work? She told me they only worked 3 days a week and that this was much easier then her last post, which was Juvenile Oncology. I cried myself to sleep after that, thinking what it was like to face little kids who were that sick. How do you tell a 5 year old baby girl they're not going to get to be 6? They're stronger then me by far. Glad you made it thru, man. Looking forward to your next. BTW, Ren tackles a lot of heavy topics and a lot of them hit hard. You might want to pace yourself.

He’s to 🔥🔥🔥🔥and so handsome

I missed the live chat by one minute (darn it!), but still watched the whole video immediately afterwards. Great reaction, especially seeing how Sick Boi resonated with you personally. I have a lot more to say about my own negative experiences with the mental health care system, but I've gotta get back to work. Thanks for the video, and it's great to see that you're doing better! 🤠

First time seeing your channel. What you said around 07:57 (iirc) really resonated with me, as well as much of what you said after. Oversharing time: I have a rare genetic condition, and some associated co-morbidities. The problem with having a rare condition is that many doctors and other healthcare professionals just either aren't aware of the condition even existing, or they are not looking for or considering anything rare or unusual, or possibly elements of both. They look for, and rule out, the "usual suspects" and then instead of looking deeper they jump to some variation of it being psychological in origin, not physical, or "attention seeking", "putting it on", "all in your head" etc. Damning, incorrect diagnoses that ultimately hinder getting the input and treatment actually required. Then when finally given the correct diagnosis years or decades late, it can be hard to process. There can be relief but also disbelief. Anger, anxiety, confusion, it can be overwhelming. I wish I could have thrown the chair and table as Ren does in the video. I wish you good health going forward and thank you for sharing your story. Also much respect for the respect you showed regarding pronouns. ☮

Loved the reaction! Can't wait to see what Ren you tackle next. If you would like to check out an entirely different side of Ren maybe check out one of his busking videos with the Big Push? If you want to go deeper into hip hop territory maybe try The Hunger next? There are so many great songs you can't really go wrong.

So glad you've recovered ♥ This definitely touched a nerve and everything you said was exactly right. Hope you're okay. And your hair is gorgeous ;)

Wow there can’t be a more meaningful conversation sparked by this song imo! Thank you for sharing your experience with us. This is what Ren does so well because he’s so open it leads others to share probably more than they would have and now we’re having really meaningful conversations ❤

Just watched your first Ren reaction, and i'm looking forward to your next one, subbed.

I love your point of view in this video! Last year the doctor kept giving me different meds for my anxiety and depression. Everyone single one had really awful side effects. I'm glad you beat the cancer.

You really are the best reactor I've watched in a while. Your honesty is palpable. I'm so sorry you went through such an awful time. I hope you are recovered now but to get through stage 4 non hodgkins lymphoma? You must be a strong person. 💪

Hello again brother. Great show and great reaction. Also, thank you for sharing your past, I can only imagine what you went through but hey, you came out the other side and I for one, am thankful for that. I know that everyone and his brother are making suggestions for your next Ren reaction and I will give one, myself. How To Be Me, the live version, featuring Chinchilla. A beautiful duet which shows his versatility. Until next time, peace and love my brother 😊

I do so appreciate your take and insight in regards to Sic-Boi and more importantly Ren himself. Ren has had much the same impact on me, on so many levels. Myself had been misdiagnosed at an early age and was not till many decades later I was finally correctly diagnosed with a rare form of a genetic disease. Had it been properly diagnosed when I was younger, there were treatments that would have mitigated and managed the effects of the disease, ultimately allowing me to live a far more normal and manageable life. Due to the late diagnosis, said treatment was not an option, as the disease had progressed to the point of no return. Many operations later and an unfortunate reliance on pain medications/anti-inflammatories has left me ambulating only with a walker and literally homebound. Mind you I am not in category of Elderly, this is during a period of my life where I should be thriving and striving like everyone else. The discovery of Ren and his music/art has been a revelation and connected with me in a profound manner. His music has really helped with my mental acuity and ability to cope with my situation. Yes Ren, I to call you "Hope" and wish you all the best kind of success. You are a transformative artist who laid bare the inner psyche in all of us.

Your audio volume was a little bit low. Loved your reaction. You should message Ren and just say that you appreciate him (he gets overwhelmed by people's stories because he is not a messiah and he has enough pain to carry). Just tell him that you identify and love what he is doing. I think he will like that (He is going through a very rough period of treatment these few weeks)

Thanks for such a great reaction, and thanks for sharing your story! Oh and the Orville is the greatest show ever!

I really enjoyed your thoughtful reaction to this. People who have had their own odyssey through the healthcare system understand where Ren is coming from here. I've struggled with health issues since my covid infection 1.5 years ago and am still in the process of trying to get a diagnosis. This song speaks to me, too. Also, The Orville really is an amazing show. :)

Thanks for connecting and sharing your story. Yes, our health care system is deeply flawed. Happy you are here. Peace, love & mad respect. 🫶💛

This was a super insightful take and thank you being so vulnerable. This was all really well said.

Absolutely loved this reaction. TY for your openness and wisdom. It’s crazy, I haven’t seen a reactor yet that hasn’t shared a story after this or Hi Ren. It’s great to see people opening up, sharing and healing. I’m so glad you’re ok! ❤

Thank you so much for your thoughtful reaction. Also thank you for making yourself the STAR and not just a tiny circle in the corner!! 😊 I’m so sorry about all that you had to go through but I’m glad you’re well now. I knew from the first Ren video that you would be one of my favorite reactors(and I watch a lot)! Looking forward to the next one.

Absolutely great reaction and thank you for sharing your thoughts on healthcare - you speak for so many. So glad you're well now x You really should do some fun Ren next - Losing It would be what the doctor should order.

Thank you for telling your story, and for your wonderful reaction 💛

Really great and in depth reaction. Thanks a lot! I'm so glad you're enjoying the start of your Ren journey. There are so many songs, of all different genres, ahead of you. 😄 It's also good to hear that you have recovered from all your previous health issues. 😄

I suggest you react to ren's album trailer that is called "SICK BOI". That goes into some themes from the song too.

I completely agree with you about the medical industry not supporting patients enough! I suffer from autoimmune disease and have been fighting the medical industry for years to get some help or at least a diagnosis. I have been told many times that my symptoms are all in my head, which just leads to more mental health issues. The medical industry needs to do better! I'm sorry to hear of all you went through but glad you are still here. I appreciate your open and honest reactions ❤

New sub. It’s fun watching you discover this amazing music. Music is meant to be felt and understood. This ride will take you high and low and make you think a shit ton. The conversations his songs create are amazing.

RENaissance!!!! “Pitchforking my channel”lmao. RENegades are die hard to say the least. Thank you for helping others discover REN and his artistry. Welcome to the Rabbit Hole!! It’s a ride!! #sickboialbum

Thank you for sharing some of your journey with us. Quite a few of us have tried to 'cull ourselves' & certainly understand the emotional aspects of Rens music & what he's saying. Pleased you're on the road to recovery.

I had cancer 2 times since 2020 and lost my hair twice and it’s finally growing back too! I could rant on the health care system forever and the dark places health issues can take you. I really relate to this too on many levels. So glad you’re doing well and sharing your story and reactions!

Glad you survived. And i love your luscious hair 😂

You're so well spoken; i enjoy your reactions a lot.

Bro, 44 years ill, and I work in medicine. It tears me apart. 1,881 days I will retire, if I make it. You speak the truth.

Braaaaaddd! It's Guadalupe (Lupe), from the Test Stream! Heeeeey boy! Another Ren jewel! Man, I love your reactions, also you take a time to talk about these things, feels like a conversation, starts as a reaction but then you give your opinions, feels like you are chatting with us. PD: I AM REALLY SORRY about the cancer thing... Geez I can't imagine, one of my biggest fears. I have BPD and GAD (borderline personality disorder and General Anxiety Disorder), it is not comparable with cancer but at a time I wanted to unalive myself... But thanks to the support group I had around me, I made it through. I am still dealing with it... It is chronic, but it is eroding...

Ren has such away of reaching so many of us from all backgrounds that lets us know we are not alone. Thank you for sharing yours

The live version of Chalk Outlines is definitely a video you'd really like. I also think you'd appreciate the introspective of Money Game pt 1 and pt 2.

Wow, thank you for being you, knowing what you know, sharing your story, being a story teller like Ren, and having beautiful hair. Peace. 💖

Just another Ren fan here, sharing the love with a comment!! 😊 Check out his Love Music trilogy - really fun, as well as a couple other amazing songs - Humble and Ocean Enjoy!

I'm only two videos in and already I can see why Doc recommended your channel 😊 Thx for opening up and sharing your experience. Sorry it took them so long to figure it out, tho not surprised...just glad you're better 😊

Thank you for such a powerful reaction. Ren can really package big messages into songs that are just a few minutes long, and this one hits a home run. Seems like the health care industry always leads with "it's all in your head" and "it's just stress". Then they follow it with pills. Exactly what happened in this video, and I can relate. It sounds like you can too. Am so glad you made a recovery after two years of trying to get a diagnosis. Great reaction - I subscribed!

Love your openness and honesty. I can relate to your meds comments; I'm at the "you've already tried every family of meds" stage for my severe mental health illnesses. Trial and error and every possible combination and side effects that were, at times, seemingly worse than the original problem. Frustrating. While I definitely relate and love listening to Ren's songs about struggling, I'd like to rec some of my commute (Ren) songs that get me in a good mood: "Humble," "Power," "Ocean," "What You Want," "Murderer," "Losing It," and "Illest of Our Time." (If you reflect on the lyrics of "Illest"- especially the last part-it's actually quite sad, but almost noone notices because it's a bouncy track and it starts with so many bars, doubles, and flexing. I would say it's in a similar area as "Sick Boi.") Have a great vacation, and be good to yourself. 💛

Thank you for sharing your own story so openly ❤ You speak with a beautiful eloquence and its obvious how much you just get Ren.

Really enjoyed the reaction and appreciated you sharing your experience as well. First vid of yours I saw was Ren, but I’ve watched a few of your other reactions and they’re great! Looking forward to more 😊

I'm so pleased to have found your channel through your Ren reactions. I get the late diagnosis thing on a personal level. I can also see how you'd appreciate Money Game 1 & 2 because they hit on some of your topics. And I'm happy to be sharing this journey with you. Although he's had it rough, Ren does have upbeat songs. Check out his remix of Losing It for real enjoyment, and one of my favorite upbeat rap songs is The Hunger.

Great review man. After listening to your interpretation and experience I think you should watch Money game 1 & 2. I think you will find more like minded thoughts in those.

I just discovered Ren a few weeks ago and I’ve been obsessed with his music. Glad to see I’m not the only one! Thanks for sharing your story. Just subscribed, looking forward to more!

I'm so glad you are here and doing well. I love your reactions and your intelligence.

Your perspective and experience you had with the health care system was so well put! Thank you for sharing.

Great reaction man you definately earned a sub. He is an amazing artist!

sent by Doc and subscribed 👍 wow, thank you for your testimony, I share your point of view! your reaction is admirable, thank you and I hope everything goes better for you I'll watch your other reactions, love and support from France 🖤💜❤

Sorry to hear about your struggles. The more you hear of Ren the more you will feel healed, it's an effect he has on us all.

I have seen nearly all reactions to Ren that are on RU-vid and you did a fantastic reaction. Can't wait to see your reactions to Su!clde and the two live songs with Chinchilla Chalk Outlines and How To Be Me.

So good. Thank you for this reaction and for sharing your experience. For something happy Love Music Part 1 and 2 will make you smile.

Chalk outlines, the live version with Chinchilla will blow your mind.

Love your reactions. Perceptive as hell!

I really hope you post a reaction to Seven Sins. As someone with multiple chronic health conditions it spoke to my soul in a way that so few things have because we're not *supposed* to talk about illness. Fuck that, people dealing with the healthcare system while literally fighting for their life need to feel seen and have hope. Ren absolutely will leave a legacy in his music. He has changed my life for the better.

I think you'll like Chalk Outlines by Ren x Chinchilla. It's a gorgeous song and her voice with his is amazing. I'm glad you're still here.

Heartfelt review like always!

I came here because of Disco Doc - The Naughty Therapist, intending to watch a few videos before deciding if this channel was for me. I got around halfway through this one, my first, and subbed. Loved your reaction!

I’m so glad you are here!! Been there and love seeing your humanity. Bless

Thank you for sharing your story so happy you made it through to the other side ❤

Fire reaction as always. Cheers from Tasmania Australia 👋👋👋🦘🦘🦘

Hello from Australia! I'm so glad to have come across your channel. Thank you for sharing your story. It's been really great seeing reactors open up when it comes to Ren's music. He is beyond just a musician, he is an artist. Just so you know, Ren does many of his videos as a one take live performance. Hi Ren was done in 4 takes. He also is part of a band called The Big Push, and they have some great covers/mash-ups, like I Shot The Sherriff. I actually think the next reaction you should do is the Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full) with Violet's Tale. It's an amazing piece of music, art, acting, and lyricism, as are all of Ren's songs. Edited to add: I love the Speed Racer theme song :D Brings me back to my childhood.

I think most people have compassion for each other, of course there are exceptions! Yes, Ren's situation is horrible but I think we have to be careful not to generalise and demonise health care as a whole. I'm from the UK where our National Health Service is still 'non-profit' and treatment is 'free' (funded by our taxes) for all when it comes to major health issues. However, it is not without major challenges and has an uncertain future. The importance of mental health has only really been acknowledged in recent years and funding is still very limited. It's great to see you looking so well after what you've been through and I get why this performance resonates closely with you. Cheers.

I'm a new SUB from Western Washington and a new-ish diehard #RENagade... Your reactions have, so far been on point! Ren can be SO deep and thought provoking! Welcome aboard the train!!!

❤❤❤ Mr Lucious Locks, glad you are better and thanx for sharing....can't wait for your next Ren reaction.❤❤

Thank you, sir. Thank you for sharing your story & for your intelligent reaction. Part of your comments make me think you would really like watching "Money Game 1 & 2". But do watch some of Ren's lighter stuff, too. Start with "Power" & "Losing It". Watch him & his band, The Big Push, too.

Also: If you want to know ren's life story, watch the interview he did with justin hawkins. There you get the best overview from ren himself.

Good for you. I'm glad you are better. Love your channel brother. I appreciate your honesty.

Loving your reactions - just found ya! #RENegade here - glad you are showing this genius some love. Best, Pippa x

Thank you for sharing your story TBS. Really appreciate your input and integrety. .

Thank you for sharing your story. I think you would really get something out of watching Ren's video on success that he did after hitting 1 million subscribers.

Thanks for sharing your own experiences - subs - greater enjoyment when a reaction is so heartfelt. 💐

So glad you are doing alright. I went through the VA system with my hubby for his 3 different kinds of skin cancer. Had I not insisted for the dermatologist to do a biopsy he wouldn't be here today. So yes, I know where you are coming from.- btw: They unsubbed me, glad I saw your reaction on the home page. Resubbed.- Thank you for sharing. ☮

Ren reactions are like a drug providing serotonin release, I’m always searching for my next fix 😊

I love this reaction because you understand the pain. Thank you for sharing 💕

Great reaction. Ren has such a diverse portfolio that you never know if you're going to be tearful with Chalk Outlines or Su*cide, jamming to the hunger or murderer, or with his band, the Big Push and he released 1 every week last month on his new hip hop / rap album. Sic Boi out October 13th. Just after the release of Money Game 3. (Shameless plug for my guy Ren.) For fun you should check out the whole Diss track thing that happened and to know more of who Ren is watch the video where he hit 1,000,000 subscribers, not a song just him talking and making people fall more in love with the person he is. As you may be able to tell, I'm a fan, and his fans are loyal and vocal. Glad you checked him out. Enjoy the Ren Roller Coaster.

You have me as a new sub because of Ren,he is a blessing too us all,bringing us all together as one Humanity

Dude. Love your perspective on both Ren songs. Love who you are, and how your mind works, and your clarity of reflection, and communication. Kinda dude I’d love to hang with. Very endearing, your transparency and personality. Definitely earned a sub.

I’m ridiculously late to the party but doing a catch up of your Ren reactions. keep ‘em coming you are fast becoming one of my favourite reactors!

I hit the like before Ren even started 👍 you have a great vibe bro keep up the great work

Thanks for your story, glad to see you got the treatment you needed in the end.

Keep it up, man! You have a lot to say that people need to hear. Yes, the healthcare system, and especially mental healthcare, is enough to make a saint curse. I used to be a Crisis Intervention Specialist for our regional mental health center. I traveled to 11 counties evaluating individuals who were suicidal, homicidal, or extremely psychotic, trying my best to help them get the help they needed. And I recently saw my former roommate die because she could not get the help she needed. For too long, people have hidden their pain and frustration away. We need masterful artists like Ren who can tell us their truth, and let us all know how close we each stand to disaster.
