Here are all the RIP names you may have missed:👍
Fries on the side, I'm a big whopping author
Big Mac, rest in peace, B.I.G, rest in peace, Mac
Rest in peace, Pac, rest in peace, Peep, rest in peace, rap
We lose all the greats like that
So put respect upon their names while they still intact
That's why I rap upon this beat that was deep for Nas
I might never reach the level, I'll salute with bars🔥
He was also giving reactors appreciation for supersizing him, which has allowed him to invest more into his music and videos, also to pay his friends for their hard work ❤. A rising tide lifts all ships ❤
Love it
Ren said Nas is his very favorite of all time as well !
Thanks for the background on NAS, helped me appreciate some of the bars. 'waviest guy' calls back to Kid Wave, The nuclear particle section refers to the Breaking Atoms album. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Cool, I wondered about "waviest guy," thinking it was a reference to Ren's New Wave jacket in The Hunger. Then again, maybe it's a "double," as Ren likes to use pretty often. Now the nuclear particles make sense, too... I thought he was showing off his extremely high IQ and physics knowledge. 😂
Thank you I'm so glad you enjoyed it
Waviest guy is about the pirate scheme on the track.
Nothing to do with Kid Wave or his New Wave jacket
@SuburbanPoet1 You may well be right, but why cant it be both, the whole point of these flows is to include multiple references and meanings. The NAS track Wave God is another good fit for Waviest Guy. I just enjoy looking for possible references. Only Ren knows for sure. We mortals can only speculate in his wake.
the line feeding them Pie Pi is 3.14 he drop this on Pi day 14th also its 3rd month so u have 3.14
He calls them retakes cause he twist it up and makes it his own its not just a remix he retakes it
Rip Big Rip Mac Rip Pac Rip Peep 🙏 (are the legends he's mention)
Thank you!
Great history breakdown and reaction. Interesting that you mentioned Nas had also gone as 'Kid Wave' and at the end of Ren's Water/Ocean/Pirate scheme he called himself the 'Waviest Guy'. Another subtle deep cut. Ren has levels.
…and the creator of the beat, Large Professor’s album Breaking Atoms and REN’s dope atom scheme!! Levels indeed…
I was just going to say both of these... you are the only reactor so far to mention the backstory which in return made this song even better with more hidden gems... Ren is so genius you really need to know your history because everything said has a meaning which has a meaning!!! Thank you so much for your knowledge and for shouting out Rens true talent in everything but most scrutinized in Rap by people who listen to this new junk robot stuff and I also think it's hard at first for true hip hop heads to appreciate Ren bc he does do his own unique style incorporated within the origional styles. If they do listen to more than one Ren song the appreciation and love for Ren truly grows once they realize Ren is actually trying to make music great again!(pun intended if your from usa)!❤
Thank you very mjuch. Ren def goes deep.
Look at what Ren has done. Lots of us are getting educated on music history we wouldn’t have come across otherwise. Thank you. ✌️
Probably the best reaction to REN’s Nas retake. This was 🔥! REN is a student of Hip Hop and very knowledgeable. Thank you Sir for the history lesson. Peace!
I watched this after watching a reactor who didn't know who Nas was. Literally said "This was cool." Kept saying Nas was part of Wu-Tang... I know it's hard to put out any content, but a little bit of research is appreciated.
RIP Big (Biggie), RIP Mac (Mac miller), RIP Pac (2 pac), RIP Peep (lil peep) RIP Rap.
Subscribed, this wasn't just a reaction, this was a history lesson wrapped up in an obvious love for the culture and craft. Salute! And if you are wondering what Rap track of Ren's to react to next..."Seven Sins", it goes hard. Delivering a deep insight into Ren's struggles with his disease and at the same time delivers some of his best bars over an amazing beat.
Loved this reaction!! Best one so far and I have watched them all night at work for the last two nights 😂 Ren killed this beat and put mad respect on it 🖤
Ren - Nas - halftime
"Let loose in the booth and I came to introduce the
High proof juice like a flaming sambuca
Halftime 3-point hoop, hallelujah
Abused oblongata and I severed a medulla
'Cause rap without Ren is like a skull without a brain, dude
Or like a feminist with no one to complain to
Hockey without ice or China without rice
The Bible without Christ, vindaloo with no spice
Playing snakes and ladders with no dice
Day without night, like Mike without an earlobe bite
I keep it tight, left-right, fake, dodge and evade
An uppercut, fuck 'em up in any various ways
Nеfarious gaze moving through precarious days
When wе're moving through the bubble troubled air in my veins
Librarian brain, pull up a barbarian slain
Performing like I'm global warming, music making it rain
I'm pimpin' my pain, prostitute of all that's insane
Put my problems on the paper and the sales will raise/reign
The sails will rise, pirate with a patch on his eye
Get ya hooked up on the music sailor, aye, aye, aye
It's like rats to the music when I'm feedin 'em pie
It's Pyrex/pie-rats can't relax I'm the waviest guy
Like yo, rats bring the bubonic flow
Move the tectonic plates when I step to the show
So cold, I know a couple people don't fuck with it
They can just suck on it, zip it, then go, thanks, bro
Eenie, meenie, miney, mo, I'm shining like a diamond though
When pressure makes a rhyming diamond, this was by design, ya know
An isotope, a proton and a neutron in the nuclei
And split an atom in a fraction, a reaction supersize
Me and I supersize my order
Fries on the side I'm a big whopping author
Big Mac, rest in peace, B.I.G, rest in peace, Mac
Rest in peace, Pac, rest in peace, Peep, rest in peace, rap
We lose all the greats like that
So put respect upon they names while they still intact
That's why I rap upon this beat that was deep for Nas
I might never reach the level, I'll salute with bars
I'm coming and bringing the deep heat and when they are singing the bees knees
What a ridiculous MC sound so meticulous, repeat
When I am spitting improperly, proper biology
No one can follow me, what an anomaly
Sick shit and quick wit makes girls wet and dicks stiff
I'm so tongue-in-cheek with my tongue in your cheek
I never sleep cause death is the cousin of sleep
I never rest cause sleep is the cousin of death
So save your breath, stop the tape, press pause, and eject"
References
Tongue and cheek - love music part 2
Eenie meanie miney moe - murderer (and more)
Supersize my fries - uninvited
Nuclear fuse - life is funny
Pie scheme - released on Pi day
Waviest - new wave jacket on The Hunger
If your Ren reactions are getting copyrighted, dispute it, Ren's team will sort it. He understands the importance of reactors and wants them to benefit too.
Thank you for the info
@@TheLVMEnotice he had the line "reaction supersize me"
I was hoping you’d jump on this. Excited to watch and learn. I love the knowledge you drop.
You may want to check out Disco Doc's reaction, who also did a little NAS exposé, I think you will like that one, too.
Thank you for all of the history. Enlightening us about Nas’s first name being Kid Wave shows the pirate reference has even more layers than I originally thought. 👏🏼
Ren killed this beat! Straight 🔥 🔥 🔥
Thank you 🙏❤ The LVME ❤ for your NAS exposé and 🐷 Ren - Halftime (Nas Retake) reaction! #ren #nas #sickboi #halftime #calgary #counttozeroseconds #piday #retake
"A man isn't dead as long as his name is still spoken" - Sir Terry 'Pterry' Pratchett ... GNU Terry Pratchett
I like that he shouted out Mac Miller and fantastic reaction by the way..
Really respect the hip-hop history lesson. I was a heavy metal and prog teenager when rap first got started in the 1970's, but I also loved English classes and wanted to be a writer some day. I remember the other kids rolling their eyes at onomatopeias, alliteration, double entendres and poetry rhyme schemes--until rap made words like that common knowledge. Now Ren--a modern day bardcore bard--is shining a light on all of this again, for a whole new group of people who never appreciated rap before. Thanks for the great breakdown!
Thanks for that history and this has added flavour to REN’s wavy lyric and the physics section ❤
Damn i was hoping you were going to be the one to catch the Big L shout out the rap without Ren is like China without rice and more is a shout out to Big L one of the most forgotten about top tier lyricist its from his intro on the big picture
Loved this reaction and lesson!! You are right Ren needs his flowers!!! 🙌
He said RIP "Big", RIP "Mac, RIP "Pac", RIP "Peep...then RIP Rap
Not mentioned here (but elsewhere) is that this "halftime retake" is exactly half the time of the original (which explains why it's so stunningly short!)
The crazy thing about Ren is he's not a rapper but loves Rap and loves to Rap as you know ren is a musician and just loves all music and pays his respects in the best way he can think of!
Great reaction and tbf yours sir was the best I've seen so far and I'm like 67 reactors in on this one! Respect 🎉❤
I still haven’t gotten to the Ren reaction but I already looove this. Thank you for the interesting history of Nas and this song! Now, off to watch the rest 😁
I second that appreciation for your background on Nas. It gave me so much more appreciation for the type of rap music that is so much missed. Thank you Ren, for being such an artistic Wonder. And thank you for this fantastic reaction. I like it and I subscribe to it 100%
Massively well said. No, it wasn't a fad. And it's great that we have people like Ren to pay homage. Also great to know there are people like you to know that homage is being paid. Very well done. Thank you.
The best reaction, breakdown & insight period!!! Uk Renegade ❤🐷
His album did hit #1 on the UK hip-hop charts. He's getting some flowers.
De La Soul were able to release a lot of their albums on streaming not that long ago I believe. And they had a decent deal for it I believe. Also R.I.P. Truhgoy🙏🏻
And yeah, he will get there, he's been seen I'm sure. And you know that bugger is charming enough to get places . Nice watch this.✌🏻
I've watched a few good Halftime retake reactions, and this one excellent.
Thank. You. Sir.
Hey, great reaction! Love the history too. I’m wondering if Rens atom scheme was a shout out to Large Professor… as you explained. I’m sure it is. Wow!
I was smoking when I stumbled over your channel 😂👌.
Appreciate that you share your Knowledge about Oldschool Rap with us 👊🏾😎.
Keep going man, I like that.
Easily the best reaction to the Nas Retake that I’ve watched so far, and I think I’ve watched most of them. Thank you for taking the time to tell us about Nas. 👍 💛
Thanks I appreciate it
I love tuning into your Ren reactions. I appreciate and thoroughly enjoyed the history lesson. I would watch story telling of the hip hop culture if you did those as stand alone videos. A lot of this info is out there but you would do a great job compiling it in videos. Your story telling is clear, concise, and entertaining
Big Mac, biggie and Craig Mack. Diddy advertised them as Big Mac once at least for sure
Thank you for the history I really enjoyed that. Great reaction ❤❤❤
Really great deep dive
You are a wealth of knowledge. Thanks so much! New sub and among my faves.
Represent, represent...
I appreciate that I always learn something here. I was in my early 20s then but didn’t listen enough to know much about the artists but this is my favorite era of rap. This is why I love reactors like you! Great music AND history lessons!
Appreciate the hip hip history lesson... cheers for that! 😊
Ren brought the flow and the bars as per usual! 🔥🔥🔥🔥💕
To start, loving this breakdown. People talk about boom bap and assume we all know what that is. Thanks for the education!!
I so hope Nas has seen this :)
Love your breakdown, that history lesson was very much worth a Sub click. 👊
Ren dropped a track last week which was jungle 1974 / message in a bottle retake and in that he shouted out Nas with an awkward pause ❤
Thx for the great hip hop history - REN is his own genre but agree he did this retake with great respect for the pioneers of hip hop.
Thank you so much for the history lesson!
I worked in various record stores & then sold music collectibles from 86 to around 2005 so it’s bringing back so many memories. I lived in the NYC area in 85/86 before that & spent countless hours in flea markets looking through crates of old obscure 12 inch singles & album demos which made me initially really fall in love with early hip hop. I was flat broke but at least I could listen to it all if the seller would play them for me. 😁
If you just want some fun, I recommend Ren’s homage to the Beastie Boys, “What You Want” The sound & visuals are absolutely nostalgic with silly lyrics to match. He definitely shows subtle influences from other artists during the song, but it’s pure Beasties energy. 💜
Loved your hip hop history lesson and the things you pointed out in REN’s performance that were an homage to its roots ❤
Bro you are seriously one of the realist reactors on this platform i like some other reactors but when it comes to hip hop and facts with some good green inbetween your the go to bro!💯
Thank you for the history and breaking it all down!
I hope someone has put this track in front of Nas.
I'd love to see HIS reaction!
Such an intelligent reaction. I so enjoyed this. Thank you.
Wow, best reaction to this song I have seen. Thanks so much for all the insights. Your enthusiasm is so catchy💕💕💕👍👍👍🦇
Thank you very much I'm so glad you enjoyed it
I really enjoyed your reaction to this retake. Thanks for the history on Nas. I binged your other reactions to Ren. I like your reaction style. I subbed. Let’s get you to 10K!😉❤️✌️
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it
Thank you for the history lesson! Great reaction 🔥🔥
Thanks for the history before the reaction. It was great, so no worries about how long it was. I thought it was interesting and you told the story well. And yeah, this one is all about the love
Sleep is the cousin of death could go as far back as Edgar Allen Poe. “Sleep, those little slices of death, how I loathe them”
Technically it can all the way back to Shakespeare just in what I know
Great info thank you I'm learning alot about music since I found Ren ❤️👍😊
You have to check out the acoustic version of murderer. He mixes it up in a way you would appreciate it
Great rap history lesson and reaction! Looking forward to seeing you check a few more of Ren's rap videos.
The Rap without Ren lines are an homage to the OG Nas video, the lyrics are comment can be found in response comments in the Nas video as responses to what is Rap without Nas, so this goes down the respect lines even deeper than appears up front! Credit to @RikaShae who explains where fans found it.
About 20 years ago I got the Album and it still the best
Learned a lot thanks. 👏👏
Appreciate the info and great reaction. Thanks
Great reaction and thanks for the history lesson. I'll admit, I knew most of it, but you still dropped some new knowledge on me. I'll be around to check out some of your other reactions.
Yo I watch alot of ren reactions, your history and knowledge is great. Thanks!
great reaction i enjoy this so much
Subed for much more Ren!
Top reaction man! 👍💪
Greetings from France !
Thanks for the background history lesson! My favourite reactions are those that teach us something 👏
Excellent commentary.
Really brilliant and informative reaction. Thank you. New sub.
Very informative nice reaction bro 🇬🇧
🔥reaction and history lesson. Sub’d!
Really loved this, great to get a bit of history too as someone that doesn't know much about rap!
Loving your Ren coverage, you have to listen to his 3 part epic Jenny and Screech...you will not be disappointed.
Loved it all man. Song is fire too! 🔥 Would love to see some reacts to newer madchild and faceless kings btw ;)
@TheLVME This reaction deserves a lot more views and likes. Thanks for the history of the original. However, I was shocked by a few things you missed. The beat was made by Large Professor and you mention his album Breaking Atoms. @RenMakesMusic shouted this out.
An isotope, a proton and a neutron in the nuclei
And split an atom in a fraction, a reaction
This is breaking atoms...a nuclear reaction. The second thing you missed--you talked about Big L but completely missed the shout-out. From The Big Picture:
What's this * rap game without L?
That's like jewels without ice
That's like China without rice
Or the Holy Bible without Christ
Or the Bulls without Mike
Or crackheads without pipes
The Village without dykes
Or hockey games without fights
Big L shouted out Michael Jordan and in response, Ren shouted out Mike Tyson, like Mike without an earlobe bite.
Last, at the end of Halftime, Nas says "rest in peace, yo, I'm out". Ren had a complete Rest In Peace scheme explaining why he does these retakes. Sure, honor the people that are gone, but take time to honor those still with us, like Nas.
I actually haven't heard a single reactor get these references (okay one got the Big L reference) but I understand y'all are doing this real time and thinking on your feet. This was a great reaction!! Keep them coming.
A fan but obviously not as big as you. Your commentary is sick and I appreciate the lessons and how you do your videos! Fan already and only watched 3. Great job absolute follow!
Great react. Great history. Great commentary. Subscribed! ❤
Thank you!
Protect Ren
Your knowledge shared is appreciated. And where was the last movie that I saw you in????
@theLVME The names he says are RIP B.I.G, RIP Mac(MILLER), RIP (2)Pac, RIP (lil)Peep
Where do I apply for my college credit? I’m not im college anymore but if I ever wanted to go back for music theory this should be qualify for an elective
The whole China without rice scheme was a shout out to Big L! He used some of his lyrics ❤
LESSS GOOO
So I've been seeing Ren everywhere on my feed for a while, but never listened. I decided to get initiated on your channel because you're the Wikipedia of rap reactors. 😁 I love the boom bap beat and his skills are unquestionable, but I'm just not digging the British accent. 🤷♀️ Loved your history lesson. You may talk a lot but at least you've got something to say. 😎 Have you checked out Faceless Kings by Swollen Members yet? It hit #1 on iTunes. Another banger. Appreciate you, J. ✌️

good sheez
He said rest in peace big rest in peace mac rest in peace puc I think also Pete or p
The two you didn't catch are peep and then im pretty sure he says rap and Mac not sure what Mac he was talking about though
Probably Mac Miller.
🤓🇸🇪
You should react to Vin Jay - Mumble Rapper vs Lyrist. All of his music is 🔥
❤❤
Can I just mention, this is a one take :)
Check with Ren - IIRC he lets reactors monetize reactions to his music. He has a "rising tide floats all boats" attitude. Probably noy this one, though, since I don't think he is making any money from this song, but for his music you can monetize the reactions.
Big , Mac(right off the whopper scheme the biggie and then Mack) and he says Peete as in rock, RIP PAC, RIP Rap! Sleep is the cousin of death he actually flipped what NAS said in NY State of mind. I love the fact in the beginning, he says all that shit that rap isn’t without him you know China without Rice and Bible without Christ vindaloo without spice that’s basically wrapped without renting it these days like😅 I am here and from this point forward, you need me to tell the history of rap, so it’s kind of cocky but he’s amazing so probably accurate but later on when he’s giving all the props to the deceased saying 26: people respect while they’re alive like I’m doing right now to Nas I might never reach his level but salute with bars so there he’s being humble saying he’s the man and I’m gonna give him props while he’s here the best way I know how to with my lyrics and Flo. I grew up in New York City big old town Nas three or four for me, but I have to say that by the time Ren is finished IMO he will pass NAS! Maybe not solely when it comes to wrap, but when it comes to all-around ability and talent, singing guitar piano, acting directing on and on and on. So it might sound crazy what I just said, but I truly believe it and this kid is fire and like you said he should be a household name a lot more people should like him and know him than do. I don’t know if he has anything to do with his race or being Welsh But kudos to those who got on this train early. I’ve been listening to him for about three years now and everything he touches turns to Gold! I would love to see a video of Nas watching this get his feet back in depending on if he felt like Ren did the song Justice and his opinion about Ren etc. it’s my first time coming across your channel I like the way you break it down and give it his history lesson nice workI’m gonna subscribe
