At my graduation day, I was so nervous. My father sensed my anxiety, so he came behind me and whispered, "Son, embrace your future. I'm proud of you!". I turned around and... It was Ren.
The way he articulates is inspiring, I wish he was my dad to help me articulate well since I was young....But, what's up with everyone having daddy issues?
@@adjr93perhaps it’s as simple as wishing they could be in REN’s inner circle and given their own age compared to Ren being his child or his parent are the most logical fit? But it could also be a reflection of how many absolutely shit fathers there are in the world? I highly doubt there is a single person who has had an absolutely shit parent that hasn’t at some point day dreamed about what their life would be like if someone else were there parent instead.
@nataliemarshall7158 I thought he told everyone to call him daddy for this interview. Hehe. So did people just decided to start and make this a reality?..jaja, that's so cool how we can grow something as simple as calling Ren "dad" that even the channel did it too.
I'm 63 years old and just over the last 6 weeks or so I've been discovering Ren. Although I love his music (and Rap has never been my thing) I feel strangely connected, even though, as far as I'm aware I have no mental health issues to speak of. His message appears to resonate and help a lot of those that do struggle with life, and for that, I applaud the young man.
Get that man - accidentally found Ren post pub 9 months ago - love his art before industry vibe - young, specials, Dexys - love the talent, combined with belief.
God he is such a grounded, honest, INTELLIGENT & emotionally intelligent, creative person. He truly is a once in a generation artist. What a beautiful soul.
Oh yes, so grounded. Wearing loads of bling and a stupidly oversized coat that likely cost a thousand quid. Can totally relate, amazing everyman kinda guy. By the way, I'll take some of whatever you're smoking cos you seem to have left reality
@@Punishment_for_Decadence what does anything I said have to do with anything material? Please point to specific words I said that suggest I was commenting on his material wealth.
Ren's already a living legend. So pleased to see him getting the recognition he deserves. He speaks for so many disenfranchised and voiceless. Hi Ren and Money Game have brought so many people together, in shared positivity. - A rising tide, raising all ships. We need more of this.
I am delighted Ren is being offered interviews where he is given the time to speak, the interviewer is actually listening & engaged & not just glancing down at their cards for the next question. This incredible man has so many important things to say, we all of us need to stop & listen ❤
Some times a figure comes into our lives that just speaks truth through their art. It reminds of times with my father, an arm on my shoulder, keeping me on the crest of a rising tide. I think in a society where the voices we are given are one extreme or another, Ren can, in a sense, be a father to us all….
I think Ren's an important artist, but you are almost placing him on deity-level and that's just plain ridiculous. Not every philosophy he speaks through his music is "truth". A good amount of it is broad-strokes opinion and that's ok, there is nothing wrong with that.
Seriously Ren is a phenomenon, he makes incredible music that hits topics other artists would not dare to approach. He embraces his community and is just a normal guy. His music has brought back my enthusiasm for music generally, for years I switched off from so much factory produced crap nothing interested me, then I found Hi Ren and it just struck!! Since then I have trawled through his music, nothing sounds the same it's so refreshing!!
I love how he calls the Ren community “The community” and not just “fans” it shows what an incredibly humbling and giving artist he is! Just the sort of talent we need ❤
The first time I saw Ren, I thought I was looking at my son. After learning about his health journey, I realized he is fighting the same sort of challenges as my son. I then fell in love with his music and the man. He may look like my son, but I wish he was my dad. Love you Ren ❤
What an amazing talent Ren has! I hate to call what he does music because it's just so much more than that. I've never seen an artist beloved by so many different cultures and communities. From tribal people in Africa that don't even understand the English language but feel with every thing in them exactly what Ren is conveying in "Hi Ren" to the 70 year old grandmother in nowhere Texas that has never listened to a rap song in her life, and now can't get enough of his music. Don't think there's ever been another artist like him.
I'm both a visual artist and mental illness sufferer, and Ren and his art have had a profound effect on my own life and work in the last seven months. I love the fact that channels like NME, YT reactors, Ren fans and commenters have been opening up so much about their own struggles. I've been through therapy, hospitalization and lots of self-therapy, but Ren's work has taken my healing process to another level. Some day universities will teach psychology courses on Ren-Cognition Individuation Modality, which translates to "watching lots of Ren and Ren reaction videos and commenting on them while drinking herbal tea."
It’s already happening! I teach college psychology courses and I just showed a couple of Ren videos in my class. Great discussions ensued ❤ They are also great for sociology courses. I see promoting growth and self-reflection as part of my job, Ren does some of the heavy lifting for me ❤
@@Self-HelpForTheHood that would have been a very interesting class and can bet you had every students complete attention, as a 62yr old he has had a profound effect on me
Ren is such a big part of my life now he's like the father i never had! I love his music and his multiple talents and his great humor. The more i watch him the more i wish he was my dad.
Absolutely amazing Artist .. Thoroughly gifted and So diverse . Can’t ever be my Dad but I truly wish he was.. The Man The Myth the Legend .. the one and only Ren Gill 💯🔥🔥🔥
Ive the same illness as Ren. People just dont understand how bad this condition is, its hell. The fact that he can keep going flabbergasts me. Hes resilient af.
During this amazing interview i had a moment of realization, my life could have been so different if Ren had been my dad. So woke, caring and sensitive with an inherent capability to get his point across while simultaneously lifting others up. Ren adopt me please
Thanks for the interview dad
💀💀💀
Precisely ❤
😂
Such a good dad.
😆🔥❤️

@@adjr93 the irony is all the sheep are following him and he want's you to all to grow a brain and think for yourselves.
Ren is a real father figure to me. I'm pretty sure he IS my dad.
If Ren had a time machine, he met my mum and gave her a Toblerone, I'd be proud to be his son.
🤣
That's hilarious 😂 but I get it!!! 👍
she don't condone that bone
TBH that's your mum's fault for not denying it like a mortgage loan! 🤣

Ditto to everything you said! (Even our age.) This dude is a gift to all of humanity feeling so “ill” and dispossessed. Rock on!
Get that man - accidentally found Ren post pub 9 months ago - love his art before industry vibe - young, specials, Dexys - love the talent, combined with belief.
Same age, Same thoughts, Same knowing this young man is special!
The ultimate father figure. Insightful, sensitive, strong, caring. Amazing dad energy
>_>
Father figure? Did I miss something?
@@sharondagostino3348I was wondering the same
@@sharondagostino3348 Its not the same as a daddy body.
he makes a better son than all of you put together.

Ren deserves all the success. Such a beautiful, thoughtful, intelligent guy- I wish he was my dad.
Man, do i wish i would have grown up with Ren as my dad. That would have been AMAZING.

I recently discovered Ren through Money Game pt. 2 and have loved his other music too since then.

Would be so cool having him as a father.
Ren's success is mental, I wish Ren was my dad
The album is the thing ive heard in ages, I wish ren was my dad
Idem love REN 🙏💖
It’s great to see NME & Rolling Stone finally recognising Ren. He’s worked so hard to fine tune his gift.
They are more talent confirmers than talent discoverers.
wow this man is amazing. I wish Ren was my dad, the lessons he would teach me as I grow up in would be incredible!
I’ve never had a better dad than this man
Ren's outlook on life and self-love is brilliant. I wish he'd been my dad.

@@manuelper, The DNA results are in. You might want to sit down. With a 99.8% accuracy, Ren is most definitely your father. 😊
He’s not a god, he’s just my dad
@@manuelperI’m guessing you missed the memo. 😂
@@WaywardMellowDigitalplease, explain it to me too. I just feel lost with all these comments « Ren is my dad » 😅
When I see him there talking with so much compassion, I'd really wish he was my dad.
Ren is azing and an example to everybody of determination and dedication . I wish ren was my dad
Even though I'm 5 years older than him, I really think he would be great as my Dad.
I wish that man was my dad. How awesome would that be. Ren's son. Awesome.
Ren is an absolute legend. I sooooo wish he was my Dad!!!!! Papa can you hear me?
Ren and his storytelling style is an evolution for not only British rap music but British music as a whole. Great interview
This album is phenomenal. I can't stop listening. Ren is such a talent. Man, I wish he could have been my dad when I realized I have ADHD.
Man I wish Ren was my dad. What an incredible person.

@@jonesvilleYT oh yeah baby. Don't you???
Always and forever!
Really wish Ren was my dad... would make the world (and Christmas dinners) a better place x
When I think "Ren" what comes to mind is Love and understanding, Humanity, humility, and brilliance,
Excellent, thank you for bringjng Ren to a wider audience! I do wish Ren was my dad though
I wish Ren was my dad… he would be the best inspiration anyone can have!!!
I just had a long talk with my mom. Today was the day I finally found out that Ren Gill is my real dad. Massive Toblerones for everybody!! 😅
Ren made me fall in love with music again, like my dad did with hiking. Music is cooler than hiking.. I wish Ren was my dad!
Bit transactional, innit?
I hope your dad didn't read this.
Ren is such an amazing musician and a genuinely good human. I wish he was my dad.
Ren is the dad we all should have had but dont deserve
If he was your dad he'd explain how you do deserve.
Exactly… I was bout 2 say he must of had a good dad cuz those of us who didn’t .. DEF FELT DESERVED 1.. BUT U wrote it so much more ‘Rem-vibe’
Omg. Everyone got the message lol. Too old to be a dad but a 2nd son lol. Love the interview. Great to see NME do this interview
I love how he calls the Ren community “The community” and not just “fans” it shows what an incredibly humbling and giving artist he is! Just the sort of talent we need ❤
So insightful, I kind of wish he was my Dad.
Ren Gill is my Dad ! Rens success artistry & music is awesome 🌟, well deserved ! great interview dad 🎉 ❤
I wish Ren could be my Dad! What an awesome Dad he would make to us all.
I wish Ren was my dad, he's seriously the best❤
I would love to say Ren is my dad, butttt my dad is the golden standard of what a dad should be💚🤗🍀
Totally love Ren, incredible talent, wish he was my dad.
An oft under-appreciated skill of Ren's is his brilliant mastery of dad jokes. I wish he were my Dad.
This man has been such an influence on my morals, I wish he was my dad
Dad in the making! Special special guy. ❤️🔥❤️❤️🔥

If Ren was the Dad for the planet we would be a better family.
Ren seems like such an incredible dad.
Ren's baby is his guitar

Don't think there's ever been another artist like him.
Thé breadth of his demographic is unbelievable . People in their 80’s , 70’s down to their teens all being impacted in a positive way by this artist .

Thank you for putting our dad up on stage!!!
I may be 45 but somehow it feels like Ren is the father figure I always needed. Thank you Daddy.
To all the hard work and success, this man would have made a great dad for me growing up. All tides, raise ships!!!🎉❤
Papi Ren is the best 😂 🎉 ❤ - Seriously the album is freaking amazing, check it out.
Also really glad his pain isn't as bad as it was. ❤

Ren is unique - I can’t add anything else because words can’t do him justice
What an absolutely beautiful soul this man has. May he never stop seeing the beautiful in the ugly, or stop wanting to champion the down-trodden.
Ren is such an amazing dad.
Ren is an incredible artist and human being with a big heart! I’m too old for him to be my dad but maybe in another lifetime? ❤❤❤
