Ren does every genre singing, rapping, acting, EDM,reggae,rock,jazz multiple instruments. Every song will surprise you because you will try to put him in a box based on what youve heard before,but then it’s completely different
everything he thinks he hears is wrong lol....every single time.....and the whole "CAP" at the end....he doesnt understand that "illest" means actually sick.....
This song reference one of the greatest examples of Ren's storytelling and theatricality: "The tale of Jenny and screech:. If you react to it be sure to do the complete version
So the title is a double... he's the illest as in dope, but also the illest, as in his Lyme disease that almost killed him and he's still getting treated for..
Do some more Ren! I think your boy would appreciate "Troubles" (rap-rap that summarizes his life story), "Halftime" (a tribute to Nas), and "Money Game part 3" (more like a Broadway play that many think is his masterpiece). Enjoy!!!
Ren is a whole new vibe for each track. Enjoyed the reaction 🎉 I'd recommend a lyric video. He does very creative lyric videos and you can read what he's saying
Difference with Ren and most rappeers is that he is a serious musician, a multi-instrumentalist, as well. He spans a broader spectrum of music as a result.
Most people bop to this, but if you read the lyrics, it's very, very clever. The video starts by inviting you into the mind of the illest of our time. It's a little crazy in there, but bounces nost between being braggadocious and talking about him being medically ill. The end is all about being in despair on not finding answers (an accurate diagnosis), which leaves him, he guesses, as the illest of our time.
If you read the lyrics it might make more sense, he's originally from the UK so the accent can throw people off sometimes.. "hypin' like Tyson (mike tyson) and icon - go twice in, left rightin' (left and right hook/boxing reference) I'm strikin' - like I'm bitin' like a python (Mike Tyson bit Holyfields ear off lol) He also produces his own music. I hooked you up with another one - a Nas remix that maybe your guy will be able to connect with a little more. It's the Halftime remix basically.
I’m from Yorkshire England but live in Tampa Florida my 24 year old daughter and brother in LAW from LA listen to all the latest American rappers it’s been in my life for years back from 50 cent up to Migos through little Wayne to savage. Kendrick lil baby future all of it to what’s going on in 20024 . I always keep an open mind you have to to appreciate it .funny thing is I’m 55 and started listening to to rap back in 1984 when it kind of originated breakdancing to African bambata and the soul sonic force , grand master flash , run dmc, could gon on lol. Fact is I like Ren think he’s good .
Wow, you are just starting your Ren journey??? Enjoy and you will be surprised at every turn! Wait till you see him on the piano in money game 3! Excellent. Self taught on keyboard and guitar and bass.
"Illest Of Our Time because has been sick for over 10 years, and not because he's the best rapper maybe do some research before saying things you know nothing about, there is no one out there today that can do what Ren does. makes his own beats, produces, is the king of the one takes, he can play guitar electric, and acoustic guitar, plays bass guitar, piano, and drums, and has over 220 songs in his catalog, you think Tim McDonald can spit I do like Tim McDonald but REN runs rings around Tim when it comes to talent, well you will be in shock when you here Ren really rap, anyway try to keep an open mind and you will see what I mean.
Ren usually pins the lyrics in the comments… Might help the guy recognise the genius at display to know what Ren is spitting. Even without knowing Ren’s background story and how the title itself is a double, there are so many clever bars in this song. Also Ren produced the beat. Multitalented artist that deserves more respect than someone yelling CAP because he didn’t understand it 😅 Oh well. His loss.
No- he always has been- since long before Hi Ren etc. Were you under the mistaken idea you were watching his stuff in chronological order? He has tons of rap stuff going back over a decade.
Fair enough to share your views honestly. But if you can tune in you will find Ren is one of the greatest lyricists of all time. And it’s all him with words, beats, music on his own and not factory made like some others with more followers. He is artisan chocolate, not the mass produced bars of cheap sugar!!
Illest of our time have a double meaning....in first place he speak about his pysical and mental health. But he also know he is a good raper. If you add his mental, pysical illnis with his rapping skills, he is the illest of our time.
like other have said Ren not just a rapper he can do any Gener of music play guitar bass drum piano sings and can rap produces his own music mixes his own beats beatboxes he was in band called the big push he had Number 1 album last year in UK with Sick Boi no one out right now like Ren
LoL if they can't understand him with his UK accent now, how much will they pick up when he's spitting double & triple time? Whatever they decide to do they'll for sure need to pull up the lyrics so they can appreciate his bars. Also, Homegirl needs to tell that brother he needs to expand his musical culture. Don't dismiss something just because it's different, ignorance is a bad look my brother 💯.✌️🍻
I'll put Ren up against anybody right now. I know he came up kinda quick but when you consider all he does outside of rapping, like the live instrumentals all the way down to producing his own tracks, nobody's doing it like him and that's real.
Ren is an amazing Rapper. Your cohost may need to pull up the lyrics though Rens music is for thinkers. But i live to see every Reactor journey as long it's Ren. Couldn't listen to this one all the way through but i did sub
go down that rabbit who who is ren. new sub here hoping for more ren.. illest as in sick not the best. sick boi is a song that ya guy might be able to get a better idea of his style
Normally I would just go after your ignorance etc, but I have to say at least it got you discussing stuff out of your usual. However Ren is and continues to be the freshest of our times.
This is not the ideal song to use to introduce a guy (who has a set way of seeing things, which we all do). He should get a bit of the background, then start with Hi Ren and go on to Troubles, Nas Retake, and the Hunger. If REN’s not his cup of tea, no problem. But it’s a shame if he doesn’t get the chance to really get it. He should start with Knox Hill’s breakdown of Hi Ren. He will get the genius of Ren from that Master Class. Knox kills it. I just watched 17tayy react to this “Illist of our Time” as a newbie and you couldn’t get two more different reactions. 17tayy caught almost all the lyrical references and flows. (Obviously he had seen one or two of REN’s videos.) I’d love to see your friend learn more. I get the feeling he would love him.
LOL Your buddy does not like it. Ren it so very different, it is not for everyone. Ren is hard to understand due to his accent; typically, he does not pronounce T's and has a harsh accent. But if you pull up the lyrics it is genius. Is there meaning in 'Illest of Our Time'? Somewhat, yes. Ren plays with words a lot and there is not always meaning.
Ah hell no. I'm 2 weeks late, but he is one of the best artists and rappers of the current generation, unless you think nursery rhyme alphabet schemes are considered better.
Hot take: Chris will NOT come around to Ren 😆 He’s got a wall up. Dissing the puppy line? C’mon bro. Sounds like he’s afraid of anything that, what, isn’t “manly”?
Scent of insecurity coming from your guy I'm afraid I think. Ren can be intimidating to people who don't fully know themselves. I think they get exposed to his raw genuinity and they start questioning themselves. Seen it in a few reactions. I think only people who are open to things can truly appreciate Rens artistry.
Oh shit! Maybe your mate should go back to listening to Miley Cyrus because he hasn't got a clue about proper music! How does he even know who Drake and Tom MacDonald are? Was he just reading out names that he found on Google?
Got a warning. You both know less about music than a 33 year old white dude in Arkansas. Love biggie, nwa .. he’s the ILLEST OF ALL TIME, because he was sick, thus being ill. I’ve never seen reaction videos make me feel alone, that’s impressive
He has Lyme Disease so "Illest of our Time" is tongue in cheek.
Ren does every genre singing, rapping, acting, EDM,reggae,rock,jazz multiple instruments. Every song will surprise you because you will try to put him in a box based on what youve heard before,but then it’s completely different
everything he thinks he hears is wrong lol....every single time.....and the whole "CAP" at the end....he doesnt understand that "illest" means actually sick.....
Illest - double entendre, "unwell" and "best"
Pull up Ren’s lyrics on the songs while you watching so you understand what his singing.
Ren is a genius
illest of our time is a double because of his sickness
Triple mental,physical,and talent levels
😂😂😂😂😂 you cant put drake in same category as ren. Fucking hell this dudes thick! First of all all rens a lyrical genius, drake has writers.
No shit 🤦♂️ this guys scary dumb.
He seemed pretty upset when she was like "OK" HAHAHA
Ren is an artist. He is bardcore. A story teller.
he's bardcore.
dude, jealous of Ren?
he's already stole her.
you late!
This song reference one of the greatest examples of Ren's storytelling and theatricality: "The tale of Jenny and screech:. If you react to it be sure to do the complete version
His illest of our time reference was about his illness (misdiagnosed Lyme disease). 😂
So the title is a double... he's the illest as in dope, but also the illest, as in his Lyme disease that almost killed him and he's still getting treated for..
Do some more Ren! I think your boy would appreciate "Troubles" (rap-rap that summarizes his life story), "Halftime" (a tribute to Nas), and "Money Game part 3" (more like a Broadway play that many think is his masterpiece). Enjoy!!!
Ren is in his own genre. You will see more of what Ren can do as you go down this rabbit hole.
Ren is a whole new vibe for each track. Enjoyed the reaction 🎉 I'd recommend a lyric video. He does very creative lyric videos and you can read what he's saying
Difference with Ren and most rappeers is that he is a serious musician, a multi-instrumentalist, as well. He spans a broader spectrum of music as a result.

The end is all about being in despair on not finding answers (an accurate diagnosis), which leaves him, he guesses, as the illest of our time.
Other examples of him rapping rapping is "The hunger", "Love Music part 3" etc
If you read the lyrics it might make more sense, he's originally from the UK so the accent can throw people off sometimes.. "hypin' like Tyson (mike tyson) and icon - go twice in, left rightin' (left and right hook/boxing reference) I'm strikin' - like I'm bitin' like a python (Mike Tyson bit Holyfields ear off lol)

Try 'Seven Sins'. Then Try 'Suicide'. Then 'Murderer'.
Ren is amazing. I am enjoying your reactions to him! Not everyone is going to love everything and that is okay
Thank you for understanding
Subscribed in the hope of you reacting to Ren spontaneous stream jam please ❤❤❤
Wow, you are just starting your Ren journey??? Enjoy and you will be surprised at every turn! Wait till you see him on the piano in money game 3! Excellent. Self taught on keyboard and guitar and bass.
I’m here for Fatim and Ren ❤
You do know RENs last album debut album at #1 on the US Hip Hop RnB Chart
The title itself is a double, Illest also refers to his physucal/mental state.
"Illest Of Our Time because has been sick for over 10 years, and not because he's the best rapper maybe do some research before saying things you know nothing about, there is no one out there today that can do what Ren does.
makes his own beats, produces, is the king of the one takes, he can play guitar electric, and acoustic guitar, plays bass guitar, piano, and drums, and has over 220 songs in his catalog, you think Tim McDonald can spit I do like Tim McDonald but REN runs rings around Tim when it comes to talent, well you will be in shock when you here Ren really rap, anyway try to keep an open mind and you will see what I mean.

Nice reaction, Ren is an artist first rapper is only a part of him. Try Genesis

And it’s all him with words, beats, music on his own and not factory made like some others with more followers. He is artisan chocolate, not the mass produced bars of cheap sugar!!
Ren is Iconic
Illest of our time have a double meaning....in first place he speak about his pysical and mental health. But he also know he is a good raper. If you add his mental, pysical illnis with his rapping skills, he is the illest of our time.
A good raper? lol
like other have said Ren not just a rapper he can do any Gener of music play guitar bass drum piano sings and can rap produces his own music mixes his own beats beatboxes he was in band called the big push he had Number 1 album last year in UK with Sick Boi no one out right now like Ren
Animal flow !!!$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ is that enough?? That’s all I have !!
Saying “CAP” I guess just a lack of knowing REN…he produces all his own beats and writes all his lyrics,to be fair his first time hearing him.
Seven Sins, Genesis, Losing It, Chalk Outlines, Lost All Faith. The Big Push: I Shot the Sheriff/Zion/Hip Hop ( the one with13 million views)
If you have your friend back on, maybe stick with Losing It or Power
Turn it up to eleven the girl from stranger things it was a whole stranger things scheme
♥♥♥ The Hunger if you want Rap Ren
LoL if they can't understand him with his UK accent now, how much will they pick up when he's spitting double & triple time? Whatever they decide to do they'll for sure need to pull up the lyrics so they can appreciate his bars. Also, Homegirl needs to tell that brother he needs to expand his musical culture. Don't dismiss something just because it's different, ignorance is a bad look my brother 💯.✌️🍻
Thank you for the reaction, but why does the gentleman keep saying "cap" through the song? What does that mean?
Cap is slang for lie/lying. He’s saying it in response to Ren saying he’s the illest of our time.
After reading the comments I ain't watching the video reaction 😂
Longs as u took the time ro comment that's cool with me too 😘
I'll put Ren up against anybody right now. I know he came up kinda quick but when you consider all he does outside of rapping, like the live instrumentals all the way down to producing his own tracks, nobody's doing it like him and that's real.
I love some Ren. Check out Noga Erez “Views” ft. Reo Cragun and Rousso. Haven’t seen too many reactions on it yet.
Ren is an amazing Rapper. Your cohost may need to pull up the lyrics though Rens music is for thinkers. But i live to see every Reactor journey as long it's Ren. Couldn't listen to this one all the way through but i did sub
Illest like sickest like actual sickness not all the slangs for best lol 😂
I think the metaphors went over his head
Check out Genesis.
go down that rabbit who who is ren. new sub here hoping for more ren.. illest as in sick not the best. sick boi is a song that ya guy might be able to get a better idea of his style
You should do power or hunger next
Normally I would just go after your ignorance etc, but I have to say at least it got you discussing stuff out of your usual.
However Ren is and continues to be the freshest of our times.
Pretty sure dude just zoned out the whole time 🤷♀️
All I'm gonna say, your guy needs to stick to big bird songs to many big words in Ren's music catalogue.❤ from D in the UK
❤❤❤
Thats 25% more than I understand from mumble rapers
fun
Man is only upset because girl said okay about when Ren said choking on my massive ugh. Lol
You get used to the accent quickly. Plus he posts all the lyrics in the description.
Open your mind
❤

That guy is the worst lol
Drop the hater
Ah hell no. I'm 2 weeks late, but he is one of the best artists and rappers of the current generation, unless you think nursery rhyme alphabet schemes are considered better.
Is that the only word he knows. The is using high vocabulary. Hunger
Hot take: Chris will NOT come around to Ren 😆 He’s got a wall up. Dissing the puppy line? C’mon bro. Sounds like he’s afraid of anything that, what, isn’t “manly”?
Seriously...neither one of you caught ANY of what he was on in this one. HEADPHONES would help JS.
Do cashin out by nick nittoli nexttt
He didn't like it before it started.
Please do TH-cam rappers by Nick nittoli next
Scent of insecurity coming from your guy I'm afraid I think. Ren can be intimidating to people who don't fully know themselves. I think they get exposed to his raw genuinity and they start questioning themselves. Seen it in a few reactions. I think only people who are open to things can truly appreciate Rens artistry.
Oh shit! Maybe your mate should go back to listening to Miley Cyrus because he hasn't got a clue about proper music! How does he even know who Drake and Tom MacDonald are? Was he just reading out names that he found on Google?
Hope you don’t keep this guy on anymore. Liked you by yourself or at least someone with an open mind.
Got a warning. You both know less about music than a 33 year old white dude in Arkansas. Love biggie, nwa
.. he’s the ILLEST OF ALL TIME, because he was sick, thus being ill. I’ve never seen reaction videos make me feel alone, that’s impressive
Didn't seam like he was listening, I can agree that this is one of Ren's weakest songs. Show him "The Hunger"
Well TBH he is not even trying to listen and there is no way you compered Ren to Drake and TOM 😂😂😂😂oo hell noo
I was trying to listen.
@@CEnvyMusic I didn’t meant to be mean sorry it looked like you were trying in the beginning but gave up halfway 😂
@SAFishing1996 nah half way through I almost threw in the towel but I kept trying
You are from planet earth?????
This comment shows your lack of self awareness
Great song but that reaction was dumb.
This comment is simple minded
Nice reaction my friend's 👍. Get used to saying it's DIFFERENT 😉😅🎵🎶🍯🤌🙏💪🐝🍀
Thank you 😁
