    Based on intererviews as devastated as he was to be dropped from the label it was that the clock ran out on it. He got sick right after he got signed and didnt recover in time to release anything he had started working on with them. All of the hard feelings are towards his disease and the misdiagnoses that robbed him of all of those years and thinking he had missed the boat and it would never happen for him. That's what so much of the negative voice in Hi Ren is about. A decade plus of being tortured by that gremlin convincing him it was over and not worth trying. That his sense of his talent was inflated. Gaslighting himself into nearly giving up on life not just music.

      And blowing off the ceiling

      I split the wicket cricket team
      Im beating it like billy jean
      Its time for heroes libertines
      I stretch your minds like limousines
      I rip the scripture spitting quick that splits an atom spoken wit and I’m
      dope and gold and poking holes in MCs like a voodoo kit
      A brit that's lit this misfit brit that chits the chat a strategist

    Ren was misdiagnosed years ago , he was bed ridden with 23hrs in bed. He was sycotic with alot of mental illness, he also had alot of general illness. 7 years after it started he was told he had been bitten by a Tick and had Lyme Disease, Ren is in Canada for special treatment possibly including operations.
    I'm sure we all wish him well and that the Canadian treatment helps.

      It's the little nuances isn' it, a msg in every scene and verse.
      Ren is an enigma.
      I hate to compare, but he does play guitar like a God, sings like a freaking Angel, writes songs like he's Shakespeare, storytells them like he's hired by the KIng to entertain him. Rap's like he's standing next to Eminem and TechN9ne. Acts like he's an Oscar's nominee. Produces like he's Dre. Addresses all humanities issues, and with honesty, and a rawness.
      Jaw on the floor good. A once in every 20 years artist/band. Who can appeal to a 16 year old and an 80 year simultaneously. Incredible. And........... an artist who no-one can box or label.
      Peace and love fellow Ren disciple, @JW, if I was gonna join a cult, it would be Ren's, I raise my fist to the anti capitalistic pi**ed.

    I think in the last few lines of the opening "I'm put on life support, I've been put up on a higher shelf" he's talking about the people around him. A very common theme for mental health is those around you compensating for you, hence the life support, and setting high expectations for you, hence the higher shelf. I think it's supposed to be a commentary on how those things can be detrimental. Falling short of those expectations, or learning to rely on that life support too much can be just as bad as the mental health in the first place. The whole song is amazing but those two lines always hit home for me.

    The na-na-na-ni-ni thing is his own voice btw (distorted) not a sample.

    New subscriber here really love your reactions! Power and Money game pt 2 are also great songs of his. You should also check out some of his lives - a couple of my faves are a cover of 'I shot the sheriff' with his band and blind eyed with Sam tompkins. Have a great day :)

    that line of "people die late/ dilate in the dark" can be interpreted in so many ways

    Try watching his live acoustic version of this, also try 'How to be me' live with Cinchilla it will give you a good idea of what he is capable of.

    Impossible for me to pickREN’s best track but Genesis has to be up there. Amazing track that every time I listen to it makes me think. Love it. Great reaction.

    Gotta do what went wrong part 1 and 2. They are my favorite Ren songs

    As you say, it's real. It's warm, its full of life and expression.
