#Ren #SickBoi #HiRen
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 💛
Thank you, I'm glad you made that connection. And I absolutely love and respect what you do. Happy you're here. :)
I am an Oncology Nurse too, but for adults. Our system is so flawed, but I I stay in it to be an advocate for my patients who may not have anybody else. My mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer several years ago. Her surgeon in Florida told her that he could not get her on his schedule to have a port placed for one month. This enraged me. The type of chemotherapy she needed, required a central line and anyone who knows anything about cancer knows how quickly it could spread. I had her fly out to Colorado where I live and was able to get her in to have a port placed the very next day. Luckily, I happened to work with a wonderful surgeon who cared enough to squeeze her in. I recently found your channel and I am loving it. I am sorry for what you have gone through with our medical system and cancer. I hope you are doing better now.💕
I really appreciate you taking the time to write this out, and just know (as I mentioned) I have an innate respect for you and people in your industry. It's not yall, and I don't blame yall (not most of you anyway hehe). Thanks for stopping by and being here. I'm happy to hear it!
The sad part of the world is that you need money to do good. Intentions are great, but they pave the way to Hel…..! Even money doesn’t solve every problem, if really any. The fact that you can sue a doctor that tried everything in their knowledge to save you is mind boggling. Physicians get trained, and leave PA as soon as their residence is up because the malpractice insurance premiums is so damn high that no GOOD doctor really wants to subject themselves to lawyers and Idiots questioning them.
@@frankiek2269 this is the 'standard' response by those who defend the state of health care systems.......your comments just reinforce Ren's message that societies are driven by $$$$ and greed, including doctors....do you know many doctors who really went through the long process of med school. internship & residency without the hope of making lots of $$$$? I venture that number declines every year......
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.
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.
You'll make it.
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.
Yeah I love ‘ hold on ‘ as well but my secret Ren song delight is ‘ make my way ‘ it lives in my head like an ear worm . Its not one I suggest to reactors - its just a personal favourite . Its so hard to choose a favourite Ren song - several people have commented that their favourite Ren song is what ever is playing - so apt .
Haha it is no problem at all. I've embraced. :) Appreciate what you've been through and glad you're with us. I hope I'm doing him and yall proud!
And I'll have to put Hold On on the list!
Or that he's "pig" sick of the system
Ren reactions are like a drug providing serotonin release, I’m always searching for my next fix 😊
And I am the doctor prescribing your medicine. :)
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
WOAH! LITHUANIA STAND UP! Haha. Love from Texas. :)
That's what I wanted. As if you're right in front of me, we're listening together, and just chatting. I'm glad you picked up on that.
@@TheBlackSpeed I'm just happy to see a genuine reaction, will be waiting for some more of that!
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!
Haha well thank you! I'm someone invested in music myself, so I love going as deep as I can with these lyrics, videos, and people. Thanks for seeing that!
Yess ❤
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.
That's what I love, thank you River. Always can count on you to impart that wisdom!
@@TheBlackSpeed aw shucks
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.
Hi Dawn, I'm loving having a new reacted to watch. Seeing someone's reaction to Rens songs NEVER gets old. I can't even believe sometimes how often I can listen to Ren, and still be so emotionally moved. Hope you're as excited as me for the upcoming MG3 and #sickboi album coming.
Blessings sweetie🙏💙
@@Cynthiabecker24 Hi Cyn, it's always great to see how other people are affected by the man AND his music.
I think that he always writes through the eyes of human experience.
Something we ALL have in common .
I am SUPER excited to see what he has cooked up for MG3.
Nice talking to you again.
You hace a blessed day as well. =^;^=
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 😂 💜💜
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!
I'm so glad you're here with us, after all that. ❤
Anthropologist Margaret Meade, when asked what the first sign that humans had become civilised was, thought about it for a moment and suggested a femur that had been found in a cave from very early in human development. it had been broken and had healed. in order for that to have occurred the person would have to have been supported and protected whilst it healed. we would do well as a species to remember that this kind of care for each other is fundamental to how we get on in the future.
He’s to 🔥🔥🔥🔥and so handsome
Ren isn't bad either 🤣
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
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.
Jeez. I can't imagine this.. I am so sorry you went through that, but I will say I'm happy you're here. It never got easier, but we make it and do what we have to.
And for sure haha. I'm definitely going to take it slow and as I can, and people will just have to accept it. Thanks for those wods.
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.
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. 🖤🖤🖤
Haha haven't so far, just found him and already done 2 in less than two weeks. :) Thank you for the nice words. I really appreciate it.
Thank you for your honest reaction. I’m sorry for what you went through. Glad you are better and your hair is fab!
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 .
Welcome to the Ren Rollercoaster... buckle up and enjoy the ride.
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 supporting a great musician, his new album...sick boi....drops Oct.13. Pre-orders right now.
Yaaaay blue ball release! Longest 4 day wait ever!
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. ☮
Wow. I appreciate you leaving that comment, thanks for being as honest as I was and matching the energy. I love that. I'm glad you're here and happy you found the channel.
I wish the same for you. We have more work to do and fun to be had!
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.
What attitude is that, it’s ableism. And ableism not only as an interpersonal issue but a systemic oppression that, although tangibly violent, stays mostly silent and forces itself to be seen as a conflict between people so it can stay large but be seen as a small disagreement. This song being an indictment of the medical industry is art forcing that to the surface. We need more of that.
We need more sick people supported to make art that speaks to this.
Thanks for connecting and sharing your story. Yes, our health care system is deeply flawed. Happy you are here. Peace, love & mad respect. 🫶💛
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...
LUPE! Happy to talk to you again. :) And haha I'm glad you like it, it's a format that just came to me and works well for me so I'm glad you all like it as well.
Wow, it's unfortunate to hear you doing with that. I wouldn't say it's worse or not, just unfortunate EITHER of us have to go through that. But I'm here for you, and glad you're here. :)
I have recently learned, if you click share and copy the link.
It counts as a share.
So, even if you don't send it anywhere it counts.
I will do that everyday.
Make that algorithm work for YOU.
Wait, really? We love gaming systems around here! Thanks for that shortcut, Dawn. EVERYONE DO THIS! Haha.
@@TheBlackSpeed I have heard it from 2 cintent creators that say it really DOES work.
Especially within the first 2 hours of posting.
Make the algorithm work for you.
As much as possible.
Absolutely. I'ma try that. I don't know if it'll work if I kept doing it over and over but now I'm going to do my own research and see what's up!
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)
Yeah, that's never been my style to dump on people and I can see how that is overwhelming. I definitely will do that and just send some words his way, just a couple sentences will do.
And yeah, I noticed that I'm a bit louder than the music (which is strange). I'll adjust in future videos I haven't already recorded!
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! 🤠
Hey, join a stream sometime and we'll talk about it! Hopefully you're doing better as well. :)
@@TheBlackSpeed Thanks! Yeah, I'm doing much better, mostly because of self-therapy and just plain facing my "demons." A therapist told me "it's impossible to do therapy on your own," but I proved her wrong, lol.
Hey, as long as it's working for you and you're doing better than yesterday, that's all we can ask for.
I have seen nearly all reactions to Ren that are on RUclips 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.
How to be me gives me chills even after the 10000th time I've heard it
Thank you for that, I appreciate it. :)
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 🖤💜❤
❤
FRANCE IS IN THE HOUSE! Love from Texas.
@@TheBlackSpeed 🤗❤
Heartfelt review like always!
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 ;)
Haha thanks for the love. :) And yes, I am okay! Doing better all the time.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Chalk outlines, the live version with Chinchilla will blow your mind.
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. 💪
This made me smile and made my entire weekend.
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.
Took yalls advice and it seems to have worked out haha. :) Thank you for the nice words. And glad I could stand out! What I'm here for. :)
Hodgkin's Lymphoma... my husband was diagnosed with it in his 30s. Stage 3B. A couple of doctors missed finding it, oddly enough, it was a nurse that zoned in on it. God bless the nurses. It was rough watching him go through the treatment, I had to be medicated to cope. We had two young kids ...it was rough during that time. I'm so sorry you had to go through it too. ❤
Always had and will have a soft spot for nurses. We need 'em all, but nurses are definitely special. I appreciate the kind words. But hey, we got here. :)
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.
I'm sorry to hear that. It's all just a mystery to us all, but we're the guinea pigs. :/ I hope you're doing better. And thank you, me too!
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!
Thank you for that. :) I'm glad YOU'RE doing well and we're out here thriving and surviving the best we can. I'm right there with you on the healthcare system.
just a quick comment to BREAK THE ROBOT - fk a damn algoRhyThm!
BREAK IT!
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.
It's on the list to do eventually, so at some point we will for sure get to it.
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! ❤
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 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 suggest you react to ren's album trailer that is called "SICK BOI". That goes into some themes from the song too.
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.
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. :)
Love everything about this comment. Thank you. :)
Thanks for such a great reaction, and thanks for sharing your story! Oh and the Orville is the greatest show ever!
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 ❤
You're so well spoken; i enjoy your reactions a lot.
I'm glad, we have more to do so I hope you stick around. :)
@TheBlackSpeed oh I subscribed! I'm from Texas as well btw. I'm sorry for the brevity of my reply, some days I articulate my thoughts better than others.
Oh no worries! I appreciate you watching and leaving a comment. From one Texan to another. :)
This was a super insightful take and thank you being so vulnerable. This was all really well said.
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
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. 😄
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 😊
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.
❤❤❤ Mr Lucious Locks, glad you are better and thanx for sharing....can't wait for your next Ren reaction.❤❤
Haha that's right! Thank you, and see you in the next one. :)
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.
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.
My new favorite Ren reactor... not even close 🤘
Haha. Aww. Thank you, Vegas. I really appreciate that!
Glad you survived. And i love your luscious hair 😂
Haha glad you like the hair too. ;) Thanks for watching!
Wow, thank you for being you, knowing what you know, sharing your story, being a story teller like Ren, and having beautiful hair. Peace. 💖
We don't have for profit healthcare here but our government for the last 13 years has been starving our service of money
Like he said, I’ve been doing the same.
The pig is ALL of us.
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!
Fire reaction as always. Cheers from Tasmania Australia 👋👋👋🦘🦘🦘
AUSTRALIA! I love it. Love from Texas. :) Thank you!
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.
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.
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.
This fantastic song has been taken down. By Ren.
It's such a a shame because it's an important message
Yeah I saw some weeks/months ago and that's shitty. It can live on through reacts (it seems) but it's so crappy.
Great reaction man you definately earned a sub. He is an amazing artist!
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.
Much love, brother. And I appreciate you stopping by, sharing those thoughts, and getting something of value! Doing our best.
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!!!
Glad to have you aboard this train ride with me! :) Happy to earn your sub. Love to see you in other videos and see ya comments coming!
Your perspective and experience you had with the health care system was so well put! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for speaking your truth.
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.
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.
Woooooow. So happy that you beat that shit. Hell yeah. Fuck cancer. Amazing that you found your way thru to the other side of that nightmare.
I’m obviously late to the party but… Your insightful and intuitive nature really stood out in the first vid I watched. The trilogy live chat reaction. Yeah, that was me that wouldn’t stfu in the comments. 😆 But you are very engaging and entertaining. And genuine. Much MUCH more so than most. So thanks for all you’re doing.
I have a chronic illness and am kinda bed bound right now sooooo… I’m binging your vids. Thanks for the great reactions to one of my favorite artists. ☮️
Aw, I'm blushing. Thank you, I'm really glad you've enjoyed the videos and the deep dive. :) I only try to be myself, authentic, and honest, so thank you for that. Even if people may not agree with me at times!
I'm sorry to hear you're going through your own illness, but I'm rooting for you in spirit. Let me be your entertainment as you recover!
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!
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 😊
Awesome, I'm glad you took the time to branch out! That really helps me out, so thank you for that. :)
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.
Came for the 2nd reaction to Ren & you haven't disappointed. He is a true artist & seeing others fall in love with his music is a joy. Thank you.
If you want another art piece... The tale of "Jenny & Screech" is a 3 part video you should watch.
There are other rap/hip hop songs that show his talent for rap... & his understanding of many different genres. Hunger... Illest of our time... Animal Flow... Losing it... What you want... to name a few.
Then there are his pieces dedicated to his childhood best friend who tragically ended his own life. "Su!cide" & "For Joe". Be warned... ALL the emotions.
Till next time... Which I'm going to look for now... Sending positive vibes 🙏
Thanks for checking out this awesome Ren song. So sorry to hear what you want through but glad you are better and got through it ❤
Thank you, so am I. And I'm happy it was recommended to me and that I've been able to get be on this journey with you all. :)
@TheBlackSpeed so glad to hear it and we're happy you're on the Ren journey with us 😊
You would really enjoy Ren's 1mill subscribers video. Def worth watching on what u just spoke about ❤
I really love your commentary. I'm not sure how much you've read about Ren and about his music, but he sort of has 3 general types of videos: self-reflective genre-bending stuff based mostly on his mental health, pure hip-hop where he does the whole bragging and swaggering thing, and pure word-play fun stuff that's all about the bars. That's an over-simplification, but for someone just starting out, I think it's a useful generalization, because if someone sees this and Hi Ren and concludes that all his music is that way, they might not know to seek out his other music, or else might not be in an open enough frame of mind to actually enjoy a song where he's popping off and showing another side of himself. For examples of his not-sad, not-super-self-reflective side, "Murderer" has a reggae influence and some sick bars, "Animal Flow" has a lot of sampled sounds and also what most people would call beat-boxing, though he himself claims it's not quite, "Illest of our Time" has *so many* double entendres and references to pop culture (I've probably watched 3- reaction videos to it, and I don't think a single reactor has caught every single one, though Knox Hill came the closest, and "The Tale of Jenny and Screech" shows him at the top of his game as a story teller. (Jenny and Screech is actually a trilogy of songs, the third song was added about 2 years after the first two, so make sure you find a recording with all three-- it's about 15 minutes in total.) If you want to continue with songs similar to the first two you've watched, I think "Suicide" is the next logical choice; if you watch it, I recommend reading the long intro he put at the top of the comment sections of the video before watching.
You have me as a new sub because of Ren,he is a blessing too us all,bringing us all together as one Humanity
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.
SO many people coming from AUSTRALIA! I love that. Love from Texas. :) Appreciate you being here. We have a lot more videos coming. :)
And glad you have respect for Speed Racer! Haha.
Thank you for this reaction.💕👍🦇
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.
