Dude, you pulled more meanings from the Nigela Lawson part then every other reactor I have seen! This was a spectacular reaction from start to finish. The beats on this will totally get stuck in your head, in a good way. Love this song and can't wait for the albums to get here, about a month away I think!
Dude I spent a dyslexia coma trying to wright? See! ur comment😂fk off phone ur knott as smart as yew😢
A surprising number don’t even know who she is.
@@NilZed1 that's the affect of cancel culture
Not there yet but first thing I thought was "is that a Nigela sativa double?" Nigela sativa seeds are a herbal remedy for Mast Cell Activation Syndrome and anti- inflammatory diet, so "Nigela Law, son"
Oh he got there!
A 'mug' is someone easily taken in. A person who is stupid and easily deceived.
If I cared about someone but they seemed to have been used or taken advantage of, I might say to them, "Don't be such a mug!"
Also possibly a reference to The Streets? He starts the section "I'm a geezer on The Streets" and switches into a classic Mike Skinner accent from one of his characters in "Don't Mug Yourself" and Mike has so many geezer songs and characters gotta love him. Geezers Need Excitement is a classic too. Ren has posted in community about how inspiring The Streets is both musically and as a person. Original Pirate Material would have come out when Ren was 11/12 and one of the most influential UK Hip Hop albums and independent albums of all time.
@@Skittenmeowgood ear 🎭
@@Skittenmeownice spot!
👏🏻 intelligent breakdown, you showed me a lot more than I originally took from this thank you
He has stated multiple times that when he wrote Hi Ren, which I believe was after the tracks for Sic Boi, Ren was supposed to die. It was supposed to end after the "dark" character took over, and he sat down one day and changed the ending. That one moment of hope, his decision to not succumb to this chaos , then he gave up everything and began the journey to re-claim his health and life, and that is what lead to him achieving the recognition and success he always dreamed of and thought was long since lost.
Didn’t know that. I keep asking myself am I over praising what he’s done, but for me he’s up there with Weller, Specials, Dexys and The Stone Roses.
And much more. Up to now, Bowie has been the most creative British solo artist, but Ren is knocking.
Ask me last year and I’d have dismissed most new music - delighted I was wrong.
you still haven't done Ren - the hunger - an absolute must for old school 90's rap at it's best.
It's difficult to say that's my favorite with all of Ren's great songs but...I think it is
I find your reactions and demeanor so calming!! You should be a professor! Also love the shirt!! Bringing me back!! And yeah my fav Ren song yet! ❤
In case you didn't know, I think this track was written and recorded in 2021, When Ren was just starting his recovery and treatment in Canada. All the Tracks Rens releasing now, from the Sick Boi Album, were all written before Hi Ren, Some over 1yr before, some 2yrs, some even longer All the vids being released now were recorded before " Hi Ren" The only tracks/vids Ren has written after "Hi Ren" are "For Joe" the King Dotta Diss track, "Murderer: Acoustic Version" and the spoken tribute to Joe, at the end of Suicide, which Ren wrote just 2 weeks before release, after the interview with Knox Hill, in which Ren went into great detail, on what happened to Joe before and after he jumped off the ridge. Everything was planned well in advanced, because Ren knew he was going to spend nearly all 2023 getting treatment in Canada. He didn't know how it would effect him or what side effects, if any.
He was getting ill
Treatment in Canada startrd in January this year 2023
Ren really is a Genius.
Love the humour of stacking mozzarella / where’s my cheese.
Mug is UK slang for someone that's stupid or easily deceived, so you could say something like "You just got mugged off" if you'd been ripped off buying something.
Came to say the same thing🙂Anyone not from the UK can basically take it to mean fool, like the speaker above said (ie./ you mugging me off?'='You making a fool of me?' ..etc.. 👍🏻
@@survivalrush a mug is someone who gets taken advantage of quite a lot.…🤷🏻♂️🏴
I immediately thought of the songs and characters in The Streets music ie "Don't Mug Yourself" and then realised he had immediately preceded it with "I'm a geezer on The Streets" in a classic Mike Skinner character accent😅
Nice catch! @@Skittenmeow
@@1982chiXu I was lucky, had been listening to The Streets the week prior, that first album is phenomenal. Mike lived in Australia in late 90s and frequented some of the underground music nights I went to as a teen. Had no idea he was a musician just thought he always managed to find or organise the nicest noise...missed opportunity, but I was an idiot in that first couple of years out clubbing (and longer)
Fantastic reaction! thank you. For some context, you may find this interesting. In his 1 million-subscriber thank you speech, (I may be paraphrasing slightly) Ren advised those “feeling hate against their fellow man”, to feel that hate/pain, express it, then let it go and find new peace. Seems like he is taking his own advice in Masochist and Lost All Faith. He wrote them during his darkest times, then took that pain, disillusion, desperation, depression and frustration and expressed it in songs about killing the whole world and losing his faith with everything. He created art. I’m in awe.🤯
Another chronic disease patient suggested elsewhere that REN probably doesn’t mean planning how to leave this world, but planning for the being gone when the pain won’t exist anymore. Given what we know Ren feels about suicide and that because of joe, he refused the option, I think this makes sense.
And I agree this verges on rock/metal. I hope we hear a lot more of this as Sick boi was intended mostly as him indulging in /hip hop
Your ability to grab little known facts from the ether never ceases to amaze me my friend. It is clear that you are exceedingly well read and travelled; you don't gain such a vast swathe of knowledge without there being a large amount of hard graft involved. I have to say that I admire you very much indeed. Keep on educating us! Please!?
I’d have to agree. Surprised he hadn’t heard the word MUG. But his humility about it is refreshing. We can’t know everything.
The lyrics on the chorus are all references and names of TV shows.
Burn the border (Game of thrones reference - no spoilers)
Sons and daughters (TV show)
Law and Order (TV show)
Crave Disorder (TV show - Seasons of Disorder - a drama/dark comedy series based around a young woman named Abby who balances her various mental conditions with her new job of working in the hospice industry.)
And it also makes sense in the context itself.
Thanks...i did not know thst Crave disorder was a tv show.
Oh thank you!! Duh kicking myself now lol
@@Veeliscious You shouldn't. It is not easy to figure out.
@@IfItAintWoke-DontFixIt He packs all sorts of doubles and triples into the lyrics. It is quite remarkable. Which is why those songs will have new "nuggets" to discover many years into the future. And I love that.
Glad someone said it - watching reactions to this for a couple of weeks and no one commented on the tv show chorus.
I would love to see you react to the live version of murderer! Absolutely outstanding performance.
Yes please react to Murderer live! You’ll love what he does with the it. Also, Genesis live is interesting too. I’m always amazed with how he uses his voice as an instrument.
Def
That was one of the best inspections of one of Ren's songs I've seen. Well done.
It's what he does!
In context.... Ren said he put the words together for these last few songs, including this one at a similar time as when he wrote Hi Ren. Before his treatment started in Canada. For me this explains his duality and his conversations with himself. It's when he was at his worst. I think after the sick boi album we will see a different context to his words and musical choices because he's looking and sounding more positive these days.
He really is. Just a little while ago he released a video about su!c!de and how he was thinking about it in 2015. He said " And man, I'm so happy to be alive right now and I'm loving being alive. ". It got me all choked up.
Always look out for your reactions - they have real substance, also your face expresses meaning beyond words☮
Love that this beat has been part of his Twitch intro / outro music for over a year now. Love your reaction to the song ❤❤
He basically gave us a year long teaser. Love it.
The section right before the section saying “You’re Nirvana, could you be the one”, sounded like Neo entering the matrix (callback to the red pill, blue pill?), and being “the one”? Just a thought.
Is it a sample in another language, chosen for how how much it sounds like the English phrase?
@@Skittenmeow, yeah, I understand that.
CHILDREN OF THE MOON by Ren...you'll love it
I’m always surprised by how few reactors notice that Ren paraphrases the most famous of the Psalms of David in this song - Pslam 23 (The Lord is my Shepherd).
If you don’t notice the reference, the song loses a whole dimension.
Really?? Thought that was so obvious didn't need to be stated, hadn't even thought any were missing it
@@Skittenmeow Indeed. You'd be surprised. One responder, who said they were a Christian, had no idea 🙂
And psalm 121: I lift up my eyes to the hills: from where does my help come?
Talking of missing things, I’ve not seen any reactor notice the Welsh dragon on the shield - I thought Knox was most likely too having lived in the U.K.
I don’t think it’s as relevant as the religious / spiritual content but has anyone commented on the relevance of the Welsh dragon?
@@sputukgmailRen comes from Wales
Really enjoyed and respected your interpretation and perspective on this one.
No matter how many reactions I have watched I get excited to see yours because you always pull so much out of one listen! Have you seen Ren and Sam Tompkins Blind Eyed the Music Crowns version? Just 2 incredible performers singing and rapping back and forth being recorded in a room maybe during the early days of the pandemic. Well worth checking out.
Check out his Ready for You, Hold On or Ocean tracks!
If ya haven't seen him doing Earned it/Mansworld with Sam Tompkins... ya gotta see it!!! His Range is crazy for a smoker! Also... for breath control... the ending of Love Music pt3 will show ya!!!
Great detailed breakdown reaction brother... over here folk say "Look at your ugly mug" meaning "grumpy, twisted, mean depressed face"... I wonder also are the 6 broken mirrors, his inner broken voices, his split personalities... The mantra chats at the end are him giving him his power back with the glowing eyes... Love this powerful offering from Ren.... Thanks again brother for this reaction ✊🏽
This is absolutely one of my favourite songs from Ren and I also would love to hear a live version. It almost feels like Hi Ren to me, with the back and forth with himself. As always, appreciate your thorough breakdown and reaction!
Nirvana ain't heaven, Nirvana is the way out. Out of the Hamster wheel. A Buddhist reaches Nirvana when he lived a live worth of ending the suffering. So he won't get reincarnated. While the end of existance is feard in most religions in buddhism it is the final treat.
Some stray thoughts while listening to you and Ren. It's engrossing to watch how, almost like children with building blocks, you stack word-bricks this way and that way, knock them down, and build anew, making sense and making nonsense, and making nonsense make sense or vice versa. To my own degree, I'm familiar with the process. Next, a friend once bemoaned to me that she'd reached a life-stage where she felt flattened, that she simply didn't care about anything anymore. I told her that's one way of expressing nirvana, a blissful state of emptiness that monks and others spend "half their life" trying to achieve. Anyway, I enjoyed the tumult of Ren's song and your reaction... and the resulting blissful satisfaction. Good early morning (from here) and thanks, Mr. Boyd!
❤
His insides hurt from a physical reactions to his autoimmune disease amongst other problems. When his body started deteriorating and he was starting to shed weight he used his polo shirts as a standard of how they fit his body to determine how bad and how fast his weight loss was. He might of been trying to work out to slow the weight loss while using the polo shirts to keep an eye on the progress as well.
The thing I find really sad about his music is he’s telling everyone how he’s feeling deep inside as if he’s crying for help. Chester (Linkin Park) done the same with ALL of his songs before he took his life. Everyone enjoyed Linkin Parks music.. but no one listened.
Thankfully a lot of people are seeing the message Ren is sending. I love that about today’s society.
Such a brilliant reaction from start to finish. What a powerful track showing how amazing his talent is!
You're my armor, could you be the one , last verse??
I have also heard You’re no one/could you be the one which would also fit REN’s ying / yang aesthetic.
I thought I heard Ren ssy on his Twitch stream that that was his s voice
It is 'You're my armour could you be the one'... a 'mug' is a 'fool' btw Ren wrote most of the tracks from his new album (that is released next month) back in 2021-22 when he was very ill and struggling mentally. I'm hoping the new album he is currently writing shows him in a more uplifted state, reflecting his current physical state.
@sorenm.lairdsorries7547 there is no 'n' in the line, listen to it carefully again.
@sorenm.lairdsorries7547 Sample from Cruel Intentions, Diamond Style, will come up on searching for it.
@chrisparti the N is clear... what I'm NOT hearing is the V.
@@GhostWatcher2024 maybe that's because it's not nirvana 🤣
@sorenm.lairdsorries7547 not official lyrics...
Just thought about the ending and the Nirvana Part. Could it be that this is his way to represent fans seeing him as their Nirvana and him ending the Part with i find my patients in Pills as the ultimate "I´m not the guy you´re looking for"
"Can anyone save me from myself?" is also a double meaning - both save him from his mental state/suicidal ideations, but also save his body from itself because of the autoimmunity.
BRILLIANT spontaneous reaction and analysis, love your work!
Beyond Awesome ❤️🔥 Mug it's British, could mean, a weak willed individual, someone with no spine, someone who will capitulate as soon as possible by using some kind of addictive substance 🙏
It also means a face, as in 'ugly mug' so it's a double here. Ren has mentioned he was bullied as a kid. In the song Dominoes there's a line saying 'my insecuriteeth'. So it seems like in this song Ren is standing in front of a mirror berating himself for being so ugly and stupid/gullible that the mirror breaks and he causes his own 7 years of bad luck.
Don't Mug Yourself- track from the original UK hip hop geezer himself The Streets who Ren has shouted it recently as a big influence from the get-go
An amazing reaction, its great to have someone with yoiur intelligence do this. I would say that Ren is on a level of his own, he is getting up there with Mozart etc etc genre bending par excellence!!
i had someone tell me Ren not really a singer lol
Been waiting for your reaction, and definitely didn’t disappoint. Great breakdown!
I had no idea that caraway was also called nigella. Learn something new every day. 🙂
Nigella seed isn't caraway. It's a little black seed sometimes called onion seed. You find it in naan bread very often. There's a cultivated variety grown for its flowers called Love in a mist.
@@patparker4280, known by a lot of names, one of which is black caraway. Also known as black coriander, black onion, onion, charnushka,…. I did actually look it up after he talked about it. A seed used as a spice in cooking that goes by many names, got it.
@@vmroxy thank you for the clarification
@@vmroxy i should have looked it up too!
You are wasted doing reactions. What I enjoy about your videos, is learning from you. You are a very interesting guy and come across extremely educated. I would love to listen yo you talk about current affairs, conspiracies etc on a podcast.
Ren's in near constant physical pain. Frequently chronic pain. Hardly surprising as he has brain damage, nerve damage and damage to his joints and internal organs. Whenever Ren has talked publicly about pain, he's always talked about his physical pain. He even said that his biggest wish, would be one day without pain...
Can’t get enough of this guy. Great interpretation. Enjoyed it
Is it just me or does the chorus kinda have a System Of A Down vibe to it?
Definitely intentional. He's a huge SOAD fan.
Ren said in the live chat on premiere that it was indeed influenced by soad
It's like SOAD, Pink Floyd and a James Bond vibe all mixed together
The melody is very similar to Dictator by Scars on Broadway.
Yyeeesssss! Interesting to hear that he stated it was an influence.
You could easily make a quintuple entendre out of “stacking” if you consider Nigella Lawson’s physique…
He wrote all these songs when he was in a bad place mentally before his treatments it's pre hi ren aswell
I looked at this as being similar to Hi Ren, two parts of himself having a conversation but in this case it's about two aspects of his music. On one side there's the confident rapper delivering braggadocio, on the other there's the sentimental and emotional artist looking at things like mental health, illness, and more severe acts of depression.
I hear "You're my armour" not "You're nirvana"...
Reminds me of the 'lost all faith' bit and people hear 'my'
There's a few things thrown about to what the female section says and prob distorts it so people hear it differently.
I hear 'you're nur-vana' but it's stretched out but being from Scotland, it's common to hear people say it this way.
If you say that someone is a *mug,* you mean that they are stupid and easily deceived by other people. _(English slang)_
The voice at end has been speculated about a bit. You had it as “You’re nirvana. Could you be the one?” I’ve also heard “You’re my armor. Could you lead a war?” Because the lyrics aren’t found anywhere, it’s up for interpretation. I can hear both. You broke down the first interpretations meaning. The second could be referring to the confident ego-driven persona with the red eyes as his armor to the world putting up this fake front, and asking how far it’s willing to go.
Love this song--one of my Ren favorites! You're the only reactor I've watched so far who got the full Nigella reference. I didn't realize Nigella Lawson's name refers to an actual "superfood" until you just mentioned it. (I had to look it up....) This just proves that Ren really is on another level of thought and word play! And you're on another level of reaction videos!
Go check out REN’s Vlogs about his daily medical needs. You’ll realize why he talks about it so much.
This is the best reaction I've seen to Lost All Faith. Amazing breakdown, love it, and the song. ❤❤
The last sample - with what sounds like 'nirvana' - sounds like a sample from an Indian tune. It's great.
This was an absolutely amazing, thorough reaction. Instant sub
Mug in the uk means … idiot/easily deceived.
Again another great reaction👍
All the way Down to the 345 Angelic pill at the end! Gotta pay attention to Everything with Ren!!!
Google 345 angel numbers! Ain't no way it's not intentional!
Couldn't find a pill like that!
Cats a True Musical Genious!!
Yeah commented that on the original video when someone was asking about the meaning of it. Lots of interpreted meanings you can pick out of the different results of the angel number so it's not a hard fast answer to why it meant something for him.
Once again, great analysis!!
Fred Miller did the mastering for the whole album
Great reaction 👌🏼
Subbed mate! Your instant analysis is hitting me from a Black culture background working with spoken word to describe reality. Also you surfaced meaning from stuff happening in the lyrics, awesome! Ren is unique with transcending pain to art! Deep Respect!!!
I have a question: do you know Me´shell Ndegeocello?
Dude, I've been watching you since far before I discovered Ren, and this is by far your best reaction yet -- which is saying something! Thanks so much!
One is the public Ren, the other is the inner, or real, Ren. At least at that time.
MUG slang comes from Toby Mug. Mugs with deformed frowning ugly faces moulded into them often depicting hags, downtrodden, stupid or dumb jesters or mocking satirical characters warts and all. Popular in UK, 200-300 years ago. From this comes the term MUG to mean FACE. "Look at you, your such a MUG" for example is an insult suggesting Rens face is miserable and thus ugly and that he is a looser to be mocked. Weak. At least in the words/mind of mean cocky Ren looking at ill/depressed Ren from above. Stiff upper lip, pull your socks up...Stop feeling sorry for yourself.. etc. This, stand up straight and pull yourself together attitude is still predominant in UK when looking at mental illness. Sadly.
"you could be the one". The line you were questioning at the end of the song. That's the pressure on his mind. I've got an amazing following, I believe in my art, but I'm sick. I don't feel I'm getting better, just self medicating. So how can I be the positive influence? How can be "the one"? That's just my take on it.
In UK slang a MUG is someone who is kinda stupid/simple, gullible, looser, unlucky. Some kinda mix of all that. They get taken advantage of or make a dumb mistake. Not a very strong insult.
It can be used more affectionately without much ofense too - like you might call a mate stupid mug in the same way you might call them a buffoon or clown if they did something stupid.
I knew you were very knowledgeable about many things but breaking down that nigela Lawson part blew my mind.
Also he mentioned in chat during the premier that he took inspiration from System of a Down for the chorus so that's the metal sound you mentioned
I think Mug is the guy who when a gang is caught is left to take all the blame, keeping mum, he ends up the only Mug shot at the cop shop... he does his time but no one else does, ... also someone innocent left 'responsible' for some debt, task, criminal liability when everyone else abdicates responsibility.... most often used in the lesser meaning. He's a mug, she always uses him... might also have just refer to being a utility object.
Nigella Lawson was in the news for taking cocaine, known as "cheese" or mozzarella. Very British reference.
Great reaction and breakdown ♥️
One thing I constantly consider with Ren: is he just making a fun song interweaving bits of his story in and we happen to be over-analyzing it?
But that’s also what music is about- what meaning can be found within it for you.
Ren says the chorus is System Of A Down inspired so you hit that right on the head.
The broken mirror is probably a reflection of his distorted perception of himself.
You can tell ren spent alot of time reading studying and listening to music I can almost bet he could do both at the same time.. I sense Orwell, Churchill, Franklin, foster, Edgar Allen poe ect
He used autotune to get a funky sound only! He has no issue hitting that note!
When Ren gets high in his vocal register on this song it is giving me vibes similar to the song "Toxicity" from System of the Down.
Just for reference, Most of these songs were made in 2021 and the first half of 2022.
9:09 It sounds like a touch of auto tune with him singing falsetto. Really good!
I hate it when people throw around terms like "best song" as if it's some sort of universal truth. Despite what Gen Z's idiot fandoms will tell you, music is not a sport with points and standings. All art is subjective. It is your opinion. If you think Lost All Faith is Ren's best song, then you're 100% correct. (For you.) Otherwise an excellent reaction, many thanks.
You're easily the overall best music reactor I've found.
His mind works similarly to mind I'm a really bad ADHD
Yo Ren
Whassup?
Tell em where you from!
When he says his insides hurt, it’s in the bottom, right pane of the window pane
Ok i can kind of explain mug but kind of can't, its one of those british things where it has multiple uses like bollocks. bollocks can mean bad (something is bollocks)or someone is making something up(someone is chatting (talking) bollocks) but bollocks can mean good if something is "the dogs bollocks" its the best Mug generally means face(mug shot), but someone can mug you off(kind of like pulling a fast one on you), make you look like a mug(make you look stupid or like an idiot or fool), you can be a mug (basicly a loser). In the context of this song it's more like saying he is a loser.
Every other time I've listened to this song I hear the end as "You're my armor. Could you be the one?" And now I keep hearing it switch between "Your nirvana" and "You're my armor" XD
Could you lead the war is what I hear for the second part
man you need to react to dubioza kolektiv they are a bosnian band doing amzing videos and they do music in english aswell you wuld love free mp3, space song or usa
Ren can comfortably hit these notes live.
Mug usually refers to the face, hence the broken mirror…at the end of the video there are 6 broken mirrors arranged like the chambers of a revolvers cylinder
But the mirror could also be "Don't Mug Yourself" as he's obviously the one trekking himself off for what a sloppy mess he's in. And he does say "I'm a geezer on The Streets" immediately beforehand so I'm thinking another Mike Skinner shout-out following his community shout out. For those not familiar with The Streets check him out, original Pirate Material is still in top all time influential UK albums and especially UK hip hop albums, and he's dropping a new album very soon. Just released a film about making of that album.
Broken mirror = 7 years bad luck?
I have a hard time picking out words in music sometimes due to a hearing loss. I'm so glad you talked about that last part, until now I had no idea what it was saying 😅. I love this song so much! Thanks for such a thoughtful reaction!
No one can match you with breaking down the lyrics and meaning in a song. I always look for your reactions first, and this one, especially, was fantastic.
I always thought Nigella Lawson was a celebrity food chef/personality. Love your reaction.
Nirvana effect " Nothing really matters" . Just watch this at 3033 likes. I hate the Universum .
Wow!!! Amazing reaction. I am learning so much with Ren and some reactors as you!!! Thank you for the great work.
Sending Love from Portugal 🇵🇹
Ps - have you reacted to Love Music part 1, 2 and 3?? If not, I would sugest you to react to those ones!!
MUG = Mugshot - A snapshot of someone at their worst or lowest point in their life. Disheveled. Unkempt. Etc...
The chorus reminds me of later System of a Down. Or more specially Empty Walls from Serj Tankian's solo album.
Absolutely sad, but spot on about a typical young male from the UK. Drinking cans of Stella and living for the weekend.
I agree! This is my favorite by REN along with his songs with Chinchilla!!💜💜💜
When you live in pain 24/7. This makes senses on what he says. I know. I live in pain. He makes his own music, beats, production, etc.
Ren produces all himself.
I love this reaction so much. This is definitely a banger. Ren delivers something fresh with every track. You cannot predict anything....its so refreshing
When you're a mug, you're a muppet, a div who's easily deceived; someone's who's not respected.
Was he in the US when he wrote this part. This feels like the distructive place of our politics. You immediately see red & orange at burn the boarders.. feels like Republicans, Trump, & the impending doom of the election
