WHAT AN INCREDIBLE STORY!! | Rapper Reacts to Ren - Troubles REACTION 

What else should we react to? 🤔 Comment below! Also if you like the song in the intro check out "Best Of Myself" filmed with Sam now 🤟ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A4Nk1BQAaDw.htmlsi=PfMkNFxZN3QR_sc9

I don't think a lot of people realise how much time Knox actually spends working his ass off. I'm in awe of it at times.❤

No new Ren release without your reaction...there was something missing. Now it's complete. ❤

"Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane." As someone who also struggles with unidentified neurological conditions resulting in severe chronic pain, as well as several other conditions that frequently accompany (such as chronic fatigue), I have had to stop allowing myself to believe in hope. If an angel comes to help me like the stem cell doctor did for Ren, fantastic, but after many, many years of having my hopes raise only to be shattered I cannot continue allowing myself to do that. Like Ren, I have gone insane and lost contact with reality for periods of time. Each time is harder and lasts longer than the last. I'm 29 and feel 92 most days. I both love and hate Ren. It's amazing to hear someone speak so articulately about so many things I feel and have felt. I love that he found relief from many of his symptoms allowing him to be a global voice for so many. But I also feel a twinge of jealousy that I can't also find relief. But that's not why I find myself hating Ren at times. I discovered Ren at a point in my life where I had given up and was intending to take my life. On the night I had decided to end my suffering I heard How To Be Me and saw the effects taking one's own life has on others and I realized I couldn't force my pain and suffering onto everyone else around me, even if I can see the pain in their lives having to watch me suffer. The pain of losing a loved one in that way is a pain that never goes away. So during particularly bad days, when all I want is to taste the sweet release death will ultimately bring, Ren reminds me I cannot bring it upon myself. Those are the reasons I both love and hate Ren.

I have chronic Lyme. That unleashed these demons in my body, and I had to stop law school, I had to ask the judge to turn down the ac during my disability hearing. I can absolutely relate to this song. I have Fibromyalgia and Rheumatoid Arthritis along with a boring list of personal hell. I missed so much of my kids growing up. At 48 now, I cling to music as my therapy because nothing else helps, or my body rejects it. Imagine being allergic to 52 different meds? I pray they find a cure. Thank you, @knox, for introducing me to Rens music. On my darkest days and nights, his music is like a lighthouse guiding me through.

If you want to know how he did that beat, he uploaded a short on his channel. And even more on patreon!

After watching Chapters 1-8 on RenMakesStuff, this song makes me cry every time now. Ren is a master, forged in the fire and darkness bringing light and hope to everyone. Great reaction Knox, hope you're doing well too. Been a lot lately

Knox! You’ve had us Renegades feeling like we’re waiting for Christmas! We’ve been checking every 10minute for this! ❤️🔥❤️🔥xx Thanks man!

Everyone has been waiting for this! Thank you!

Ren hit 1 million views in 5 days last night 🎉🎉🎉🎉 I hope everybody goes and watches it and subscribes to Ren and let's bump that number up 👍👍👍bringing more awareness and spread the message of hope 🌷🌷Ren does so awesomely in this song 🎶🎶👏👏👏💞

I’m 35 and was diagnosed with endometriosis and adenomyosis at 24. Four surgeries later, almost a month in the hospital, countless pills , hormones, judgmental and cold doctors and zero kids later and I’m finally throwing in the towel. There is no cure for these conditions and I’ve given up my dreams of carrying a child and am prepping for a hysterectomy. I’ve spent almost two decades in constant and debilitating pain and have lost all my relationships and accomplishments I built and was so proud of. I found Knox as a Swiftie and since watching, have added at least 50 songs to my Therapy playlist and this amazing song as been added - I’m in tears. I am so grateful for being introduced to music that I would have probably never been exposed to, all while this dude is dealing with his own life struggles, raising a family and dropping new music. You truly are the best, I’m so happy you exist and thank you for what you do 🙏🫶🏼

The line about 'carved a hole in my chest just to feel' reminds me of 'Hurt' by NIN and Johnny Cash: "I hurt myself today To see if I still feel I focus on the pain The only thing that's real"

Big up to you Knox for another quality bars breakdown! There's another internal you may not have caught with the disability benefit bar? "24 and living on disability benefit, but what's the benefit of disability? It's irrelevant." You've got the straight meaning of the bar, like disability isn't a benefit. You've also got the colloquial term "dis" as in slang for "this", so the bar also reads- "24 and living on disability benefit, but what's the benefit of dis(this) ability? It's irrelevant." So you've got Ren saying "What's the benefit of this ability, it's irrelevant.?" It's saying "what's the point of having this skill when I can't use it, because I'm so sick? It's irrelevant." So you've definitely got a triple in just that one internal rhyme scheme alone. Just as some perspective, there is more funding to study male pattern baldness than there is for Lymes disease, ME and fibromyalgia COMBINED. We as a society place more value on vanity, than we do in helping millions of people who are in genuine pain and suffering terribly. That, is a very sad situation to be in as a collectiveness.

I read the limo pulled up unplanned at just that time and that's why Ren smiles as he turns back ❤

The limo wasn't part of the plan... It was one of Rens serendipitous moments where an external factor happens at exactly the right time 💕

Hope you're doing ok Knox ❤ So happy to see this ❤

I haven't heard anyone catch that he's 23 in his bed *tomb* not room. He's referred to his bed as a grave before and this was a devastating hit I think some people also don't get why his self harm was so relatable. I have a chronic pain disorder and was on meds for a time that caused intense neuropathy, pins and needles for 8 hours sometimes. The painful kind like when you fall asleep on your arm wrong and the pain wakes you up when the blood flow returns. I've been blessed by never having self harm thoughts or suicidal ideation. One day, I found myself punching my foot repeatedly because it stopped the pins and needles when I was hit. I went off those meds that next month. The Lord I forgive you lines are really powerful when you consider the actual function of forgiveness. It isn't to absolve another's soul, its a form of healing for the one who forgives. Forgiving God is about letting go of the blame. For a religious/spiritual person, the idea of forgiving your higher power is heart wrenching and fulfilling. It's the healing of a spiritual wound, of religious trauma.

You should check out his 8 chapters on renmakesstuff: he tells his story of sickness and struggles. The line about the knife in his chest is all there. I thought the same about guardians: Ren is a messenger, a guardian and he’s been put here to share the message, help people and make the world a better place. That’s his mission. ❤️🙏

Hammer of Thor works at two levels in terms of freeing Excalibur from the ice. Hammer of Thor and Hammer of Thaw.

3:31 WOW! What an unbelievably superhuman ear you have! Thats exactly what he revealed that he did. He manipulated Vera Hall's vocal for that sound. Sherlock Holmes couldn't have figured that out so quickly. Amazing.

Yay, I've been watching for your reaction to this one!

Always appreciate your breakdowns Knox! This song is 🔥. I honestly listen to Ren daily…..I find his talent unmatched. I have Fibromyalgia and him bringing attention to his journey with pain is very relatable to me

"Best Of Myself" Beautiful, love it!!!

i have watched this one from Ren quite a few times, still surprised at how must i miss, when knox points things out!

One of my top 3 fastest clicks!! Thanks Knox.

This song alone is absolutely touching and can fit with so many humans even though it’s his story. It’s magical. It hurts. It’s real.

Was waiting for this reaction. I knew it was coming ❤He just passed 1M views on this one today. For anyone that doesn't know, he also told his story of his sickness and hope, in 8 different chapter videos in the days before the release of this song. This song is a culmination of those chapters. For anyone interested in watching those chapters(1-8), they are on his @RenMakesStuff RU-vid channel. www.youtube.com/@RenMakesStuff/videos

It took my mom 10 years to get diagnosed with fibromyalgia. For years, she had doctors telling her nothing was wrong and it was all in her head, then she even started doubting herself and wondering if they were right. Luckily, one dcotor got her on a list to see a specialist, and after a few years of seeing the specialist, they figured out what she had. Watched my mom goto work for years tired, in pain with no help in sight. Truly a strong woman.

Knox - brilliant breakdown as always. As someone who has lived most of my life with an autoimmune disorder, Ren's courage is awesome. I hope he inspires all who have this horrible battle - and teaches compassion to those who don't understand how hard it is for people with good and bad days.

Fantastic reaction..i love your appreciation of the genius of ren. What a beautiful soul he is

Ren is a modern day Mozart. Write lyrics and play so many instruments. Crazy. Plus glad to see you doing so well. You deserve it. You have one of the most intricate break downs. My channel will start soon. It would be awesome if you keep an eye out for my reactions. peace!

Iam a 49 year Old German and my english in writing and speaking is not so good. I understand a lot. But with your reacting Videos Knox i understand so much more. Especely the meaning behind. Thank you very much. And i love Ren

Yay a break from the beef with a little bit of hope 🧡🧡🧡🧡

Think the limo was actually just a coincidence. Alot of different synchronicities happen in his live videos. Think that why he started smiling. Love looking for them

Finally! I was not complaining, knowing you are busy, but I was actually waiting for this since the drop 😄. Great as always. ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥One thing I am not sure you heard was "in my bedtomb" instead of "bedroom"

I always appreciate the lyricism more after your breakdown! Thanks Knox! This song is 🔥🔥🥰

Well it's about time !!!!!!

one of my new favs.

Saved the best for last! Glad to see the twinkle back in your eyes!

Thank you Knox you’re a fave reactor of mine. I love the way you tune into every part of RENs genius, paralleled with your own. ❤

Amazing reaction Knox ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥 So much love happening

This song comes full circle with Hi Ren and Seven Sins, all brilliant, raw, powerful and emotionally describing his journey with Lyme! I identify with all of it and it warms my heart to hear Ren's lyrical message at the end! Keep on making music Knox, you are also on another level ❤🎉

Ren's Chapters need exposure, it will save lives.

Welcome back Knox - Ren posted on his Facebook and his other channels how he made that vocal frequency. It's really cool to watch

I saw a clip on Tik Tok of Ren making this track and playing with the sample was dope

Ren is such a great storyteller! Each song is a journey.

That funky noise underneath was the original song but totally reworked by Ren. There is of course a short video of him generating that sound.

Hey Knox! 💜 So glad to see you getting to this one. Spot on analysis, as usual. Not necessarily as a reaction, but you gotta try to watch the 8 chapters Ren released on his renmakesmusic channel. They really go into his story in detail. This song is like the cliff notes version. Bring your tissues, it's an incredible journey.

Been waiting for this

Thanks Knox! Glad your here!

I love how you see the deeper meaning in words, you show us so much, and you kill it every time in your videos 😃

Like so many others, Ren's music is therapy for me. I also went #missing from life around the same age. I made it to 28, before my various undiagnosed illnesses took my ability to live life freely. Now, at 44 I have received many diagnoses, but most of them receive less funding than ED, so I still bounce from doctor to doctor with only the option to "manage" my MS, ME, Fibromyalgia and Migraines. Our medical system isn't interested in curing sick people, there is more profits in keeping us sick. Lastly, disability benefits do pay for my $35,000 monthly prescription drugs, but my best hope us being dependent on these medications forever. #weneedmorecures

There are hundreds and hundreds of ren reactions. We have that one or two that are masters of guitar, or producers, or vocalists, or rapping. And that’s the thing they hone in on when listening to ren KNOX is that ONE, that when we want a breakdown of lyrics, the appreciation of messages, when we want someone so natural at their craft, they are the best of the best Thank you Knox! Keep bringing it and we shall keep coming back. Becasue we give a shit, just like you! The most relatable reactor! Thanks again!

Love your expert reaction as always 👍 You're a king man ! Love so much your Ren's reactions 😍 Thanks 😘

I was waiting for your reaction to this one!!! It really hits hard, and it's such a vulnerable song with Ren taking us through his journey. Also love the positive, hopeful note in the text at the end because like you, I love happy endings. I think there is enough drama in the world and I have enough shit in my life so I always try to look for the happy endings, that flicker of hope that keeps me going through my darkest times. Much love man, hope things are going well for you and your family

Ah Ren breaks my heart again. I just feel horrible for all he's been through. I have so many damn alphabet illnesses with the ptsd, me/cfs, fibro etc. I feel so seen

Thank you for supporting Ren ❤ hope your troubles are getting better for you 🙏

An absolute masterpiece. I have so many pages of poetry of my suffering through my journey of 10 years undiagnosed lyme and another three before I healed. I'm not talented, I could never put everything in the right words. To see Ren articulate things I've felt so deeply in my heart, to have a story that so similarly parallels my own troubles expressed in this art so brilliantly is a gift. I appreciate it deeply. I found healing. I'm eternally greatful to God for all the lessons I learned and the resilience I now have through my suffering. Any where Lyme or autoimmunity are mentioned I like to share I was bedridden and now I have my life back thanks to the New York Center for Innovative Medicine in New York by Dr. Thomas Schulz. I will always share that in case someone else can find their remedy there as well. God Bless. Pushing through was worth it.

im 19, been going through the exact same things ren talks about in this song for a little over a year now.. still no answers. cant even stand up long enough to do dishes or shower now.

Can’t fully enjoy a Ren video until I see your breakdown! Cheers! ❤✌️

I love the way you break down the songs. Ren to #1!

Your 'grabbing for more Spiritual Guardian' ... It is TRUE!!!!!! Spirituality is Soulful. 🪽🤍🪽

Whether you react or not, Ren's chapters are a must. Also still many Ren songs you havent reacted to, will blow your mind bcz so unique ie bongo bong, chilren of the moon, etc. Hope you are well. Big love from Boulder, Colorado

Love this Knox. Thank you

been waiting for your breakdown of this. I hope you are doing better these days with all the grief etc...Sending love and gratitude ❤

With great power comes great responsibility, and Ren is truly a hero! He is using his growing powers and platform for so much more than simply creating brilliant music. Ren has said that he always had this feeling that he was meant to change the world for the better. So much that he defiantly yelled a challenge to evil into an empty room. And then he got sick… Ren has now shared the full story of his health journey in 8 video chapters leading up to the release of this song and what a journey it has been. If anyone hasn’t already watched them, I highly recommend you do. With all the chapters he is showing immense strength in sharing his story that is so hard to tell, being vulnerable and telling it because he hopes it will help others and raise awareness. And here he is with another rendition of that story, now told through music with a fire beat and delivering a message of hope. A beautiful hero that the world needs ❤️🐰🕳️ Hope you’re okay, Knox. Between Best of Myself and you not dropping a Ren reaction a few minutes after release, you’ve had me worrying. Hopefully things are getting better for you and your family ❤

I'm glad I discovered Ren when I did. I had just been giving a diagnoses of an incurable connective tissue disorder at the age of 27 and my body just started falling apart. His music is such a great and powerful thing, to be able to share the message of invisible illnesses that people who look healthy have to suffer through every day. And I also really appreciate your analysis of his music - it allows someone like me who isn't a big hip hop fan to get a deeper meaning out of his words. Much love to you both ❤

There is a very good documentary on the D C Documentary channel. Called "Lyme disease and the fight for recognition" In it they talk to people who suffer from it. And it's the same as what Ren says. Worth watching for anyone who wants to know how hard it is to live with. When chronic Lyme disease is not recognized as a real thing. The story's they tell are very moving. Highly recommend Viewing for anyone wanting to understand more.

After fighting fibromyalgia for over 15 years I can truly relate to the struggles, the highs and lows, with no remedy in sight. I’m struggling now to find that positivity in my life in spite of my illness. REN’s music has been so helpful in that journey. 🥰

I've been really looking forward to your reaction to this song! What a masterpiece.

The reaction on Ren's face when the limo arrives behind him tells me that, that wasn't planned and was a happy accident.

Watching my teen go through this I can relate to every single bar, still waiting for the Lord I forgive you part but it’s a long process. So glad someone was able to put it into words.

Worth the wait ❤

Yes I was hoping you'd react to this! Such an important song! What a week with his chapters! Thank you Knox!😊 #Unrest #RenMakesStuff

Great reaction as always.

I appreciate your reaction. REN describes trying to get to a diagnosis and how pain messes with your head to a tee.

You're a legend Knox - you deserve a clone Knox Hill who could break down your own tracks the same way. Love your BBL Drizzy Freestyle by the way - had it on a Spotify playlist with Ren's Troubles and Romaine's The Radios killed the Blues pretty much non stop for the last few days. Appreciate you man, hope you're doing OK and don't let the bastards get you down!

TY!

I remember the first time hearing Ren's music and his story and hoping that maybe my doctor had missed something and it was lyme and not lupus. There's a lot of crossover between the symptoms but there's not a cure for either disease but there are a lot more treatment options for lyme and a chance to cure it if your body reacts well to the antibiotics. It wasn't lyme. Got the official lupus diagnosis, but damn the story still sounds so similar to mine.

It is truly uplifting when one still has the will to live in harmony with the great forces. After a senseless, cruel and unnecessary experience. Years of lonely suffering, doubts, pain. And finally, unity, devotion, forgiveness. No anger.

Your reactions are always worth waiting for. ❤ Hope life is being kinder to your family this week.

So happy to see your video. Us Renegades helped Troubles reach 1 million views last night.

Yes! And when I heard it for the first time, the "Lord I forgive you" part - I thought about you man... Hope you're seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and can forgive the torment... God bless

He’s not riding around in a limo. He and Josh were driving around in a snowstorm in a rented truck. 😀 Love the beats n this one. Such clever use of the sample. He was showing how he did it on his Patreon. Incredibly talented producer, is Ren.

I am so glad to see you got to this one! I love the song and the beautiful message of hope from Ren. I hope you are doing well. Knox . Sending light and love ❤️

Hi Knox nice to see you here for Ren.You and Ren are my favourite young men around I love you both 😊

I was waiting for your reaction to this. I always rely on your breakdown for the pieces I cannot follow. It was great as usual, thanks a lot and hoping things are better on your side. Cheers from Berlin 👍🍀😎

That Trouble sample...🔥🤤

Knox you are the GOAT of reactions. Fact. Loved it. Thank you!

After having listened to Ren's Chapter Series Intently and multiple times, this track just encapsulates his story so well and serves as musical accompaniment for The Chapters. Ren's experiences are very familiar to me to say the least, as is often the case with many of his supporters. Ren's success is so deserved and I do truly hope it continues. Ren is the medicine many of us need. So raw and vibrant in color, combined with his naturally emotive performance! Indeed Ren....Your Limo has finally arrived. This in my mind one of the best lyrical raps ever written and performed.

Have been waiting for the Knox hill breakdown of this.😊

Appreciate you Knox, You never disappoint 😊 Wish you all the best ❤

Thanks Knox for the breakdown, just entering the world of REN now.

That intro is from Moby !!! What a legend ! Wonder if we'll ever hear a colab between Ren and Moby! That would be EPIC indeed !

I love the way it’s layered 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Idk how Scru can have such an issue with you when you constantly come out with wholesome videos like this. You have a big heart and a lot of talent, kick that haters butt! ❤

Thank you Knox… always great! ❤️🫶🏻❤️

Ren with another absolute banger, and incredible story. We all cheering for him to get 100% well

You are the best rapper of youtube hands down....damn.....respect

Thanks for a perfect breakdown and clarification ❤
