If Ren was in a happy place the night he wrote this 2 yrs back, then we would be listening to a happy tune. He wasn't, so we aren't. Ren never wrote these songs for release...they were his therapy. It's special that we get to see them revealed, and it certainly shines a light on the dark that many people face, and the feelings of destroying everything around them. The material he's currently working on will of course be very different, but with Ren I think you need to be able to accept the dark and the light.....it's what makes him an independant artist, where he has no label telling him to write songs to a formula. Personally I'm stunned by the amount of music he's created before and during his treatment in Canada.
For a moment think to your darkest hour. Now think if during your darkest hour you were trapped in a room day in and day out. Your life passing by and no hope in sight. What would your soundtrack sound like?? Ladies and Gentlemen meet Ren climbing his way out of a hole. It is an honor and a privilege to finally see different aspects of you at different times in your life. If these tracks scare you or are too dark you glimpsed his state of mind at that time. He is a genius. I only make assumptions as I have never had the privilege to ask him personally. This is my take. Thanks for listening.
Some fans seem shocked, surprised, and disappointed. It's as if they thought the "dark Ren" of 'Hi Ren' was a simple character and not an aspect of the man himself. Mental illness is ugly, folks, and it's not always sweet-sounding introspection and reflection.
Hey Ren. You may never see this. I'm a military member. I found you a couple weeks ago and your song “Hi Ren” has became an almost comfort song. I have gone through a lot from being in service. I had doubts my whole life about me and my strengths and my capabilities as a person, a human, and the military can be rough on you. I had people who killed themselves, the hatred and jokes placed on me. It made me emotionally distraught. Everything from my childhood to my adult life now. I was the weird kid, the bullied kid. I ended up with anger issues and anxiety and suicidal thoughts. I coped poorly with the stuff. I felt alone. I ended up going to a therapist a year or so ago that I continue to do once in a while. And that journey of me fixing my problems, that may be worse than I'm aware I'm not sure, played in my head listening to that song. Seeing someone struggling with similar thoughts in such a unique and beautifully done way like you did. It's sheer badassery. You know this probably, but sharing your stories, your life, your thoughts. You're saving people. You have my respect and my support Ren.
I'm glad that you found Ren Listen to all his songs he is pure genius Speaking for those of us that stay silent for too many years I was diagnosed as a mancic depressive at age 12 Since then I have struggled with most days of my life Now though I have finally found a place that is calming for me and that is in the words from Ren 😍❤💯
It took a few hours to percolate but I'm totally on board with this track now. Ren always gets me sooner or later 🤦♀🤣He doesn't shy away from expressing the whole gamut of human emotion. He's the essence of punk, writes what he wants and doesn't let anyone tell him what to do.
As another commenter wrote, this took my a bit to percolate. I was not in the right headspace to hear it. I listened again and man, I really understand it where it is coming from and I really, really like it. Ren, you are genius.
I love all the old school rap/hip-hop quotes and references. Lots of people may not be familiar, but I love the integration of some really cool lines from back in the day and seeing them used together in a new light and era!
Ren, your music is straight up amazing. Keep up the AMAZING work! My mom is a HUGE fan and loves all your songs, you’re one of the best music artists I’ve ever heard.
Idk why some fans are so shocked, he has told us he's been in phycosis before. Being chronically ill changes you, especially with Lyme. Lyme usually doesn't come alone and you're usually battling co infections too. I love anything red does ❤❤ this is a good song!
I remember back in the day, They Might Be Giants had this phone number where you could call and get an answering machine. They would update everyday with a new song. That’s kind of what Ren feels like with all these releases.
Yeah, I think I prefer this way over hearing like 70% of an album's songs for the first time all at once when the album drops. Time to digest each one individually and hear what others think of it!
Yes it does, shows some independent , quirky spirit and thinking outside the box. Bloomin eck. I haven't heard Birdhouse In Your Soul in ages. A Lad I dated "back in the day", was playing that in his beetle car when he racked up. Lol.
All I hear is "they might be giants brand new album... flooooooooood" straight into "I'm your only friend I'm not your only friend but I'm a little lonely friend but really I'm not actually your friend but I am..." 😂 good times
@@zaynabradshaw2985 Wasnt they the days. I remember it like yesterday, this tune blasting out from the beetle car, and my Dad checking him out from the doorstep. Well, at least he wasn't playing, " Bring your daughter to the slaughter" . Lol.
I found "Hi Ren" tonight and it's easily the best, most well-performed, beautiful and pieces of art in modern history. I listened to it multiple times in a row, finally time to see what else Ren has done and THEN I FIND THIS FUCKING BANGER? Yeah, can already tell I'm looking at one of the most talented humans to have lived so far.
Singing along to this around the house with headphones, getting VERY strange looks from the family...(I'm a 51 year old mum of 2 so maybe that's why haha). Bloody great track! 👍
🫶🏼👏🏼💁🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️I’m a 48 year old mum of 3 grown kiddos & 3 grandchildren and I’m always jamming to this and my family members are like what the heck is she listening to 🤷🏻♀️ she’s killing everyone 🔪 🩸 😂😂
As a Buddhist, I hear some very profound spiritual realizations in REN’s lyrics. When everything is dead, killed… What remains? If you say “nothing” you are wrong. If you say “something” you are wrong. If you open your mouth at all you are already wrong. Just be and nothing more needs to be done. Ren is on another level…
As a fan of the dark and the twisted, this was an absolute banger. I love how you're so unafraid to push your art and take it to really intense places, no matter the emotion or vibe. It's always full-on and in your face, appreciate that approach so much!! ❤🔥
Sometimes...just sometimes you need a self destructive absolute banger like this. Off you go to that dark place for a few bangin minutes, then back to realit..........
Just when you thought there's nothing else can be done with music and then Ren comes along and totally flips it on its head.. you got alot of artist starting to relook at the music abilities...
Illest of our Time, Animal Flow, Murderer, Down on the Beat....Now Masochist! You've been killing it! I'd love yo hear more Ren over some Drum and Bass in the future! My Ren Playlist smashes on my speakers daily.
The details are sick. The very first two seconds were so nostalgic for me. Not many people born a few years after me know the sounds of a needle being placed on vinyl. A noise you always heard just before the music started. So dope man!
I love how you sing on this brother. Ren man, I hate that it took so much negativity to get to where you are, and I have to admit my selfishness in your pain being my epiphany. But I do wanna thank you for being you, and being strong enough to put it all out there... You inspire me more everyday. We don't know each other from Adam, but I love ya brother, and I am proud of you
I am a grown up enough to accept if not every song is for me. This one missed me personally, but that says nothing about its quality. I am still super hyped for the album to come out, ordered it on CD and digital as well. I will wait for some reaction videos to see some other perspectives, help me walk around it, not just the point of view where I am right now :)
You and I are on the same page! Even if this one was a personal miss for me, I appreciate so many nuggets within it as separate ideas and sounds. And I love the themes it plays with, its place in the compilation of expression, and what it's offering everyone else. There are so many others I can enjoy and am on my way to do just that!
This one and love music 4 didn't do it for me but I still think they are well done. Just not my cup of tea. I am really looking forward to anything he's written since hi Ren. I think the timing of his come up and what he had prepared already was such a contrast to how the majority discovered him musically. That being said it's amazing how open minded most have been and even if the recent releases aren't the epic next level bardcore type stuff, dude puts out so much good music of all types. I find it really refreshing never knowing what the next drop is gonna sound like.
This one was going hard and was really dark. Insanity vibes and sick flows. Loved also what you did on the voices with the deep, dark undertones. Perfect fit for this song. Gonna have to listen to it again and again to let it marinade in my mind. Massive crucify your culture feels here. Maybe some sort of continuation of that song I feel. Thanks for this dark trip into the depths of a dark mind.
43 yrs old, fucking fell in love with your buskin, collaberations and being fucking awed by your talent. grew up with the (nowadays oldscool hiphop) have tbh love your ...fuck dunno love everything , keep going keep doing what makes you happy. you are a bright star shining in a dense cloud hopefully one day ppl will see you as the north star and follow youre path
It shouldn’t really matter what “time in his life” Ren wrote this track, yeah it’s a lot heavier and darker than many of his other songs, but seriously who cares? This song is fuckin awesome, and the man along with Sam and the rest of his crew are fucking legends! Keep doing what you doing my friend, Also congrats @RenMakesMusic on the album being no1 🏴🏴
Your also a genius 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I'm 32 this year and never been more excited over a musician. Daily I must play multiple of your songs and the feeling I get singing along and listening is 👌🏼👌🏼 thank you Ren
I got that in Masochist (someone who intentionally hurts themself) that Ren is furious he has to kill off all of the things he loves due to his health. He never meant “kill” literally. The things he’s killing are the things he loves and he was angry death would take it all from him and he’s pissed. He is only hurting himself.
I don't know if the new brand of antidepressants or you that have pulled me out of a ridiculously deep place. I thoroughly enjoy your style, talent, presence and skills. I really do hope you keep the momentum going and go far.
@@oscarcurtis5196 he had some homage to NWA saying “f the police coming straight out of Brighton-town(underground” maybe on the “hi my name is” homage to Eminem instead of saying slim shady it says “kill”
I honestly feel that Ren besides being the genius artist that he is, is also soo dam psychologically intelligent that he stuffs these words we were told are tabu to say and talk about our entire lives directly in our faces showing us that we are fine, no need to flip out. if you actually pay attention to the lyrics Ren puts the antidote line explaining all the lyrics that just dropped your jaw. fkn genius!!!
I never read the comments before now, usually rock your music on Spotify. I had no fucking idea this song was so divisive. It’s literally my favorite on Sick Boi… top three Ren songs overall. Now I don’t know if that’s telling on myself about the state of my mental health, but my interpretation of “killing” everything is letting it all go. Letting go of expectations and pressures, including the ones put on you by yourself. “Kill your karma…nirvana” line especially: let go of your mistakes and don’t be afraid to reinvent yourself. The hook, too. Man, I could really get into my interpretation of this… but fuck, it just resonates so much, that’s all. Thanks for sharing your music, Ren! Much love. 💚
He told y’all, don’t trip because he’s a masochist… Not a sadist. People upset with these lyrics need to fucking chill and use some reading comprehension and critical thinking.
Wow, another COMPLETELY UNIQUE one! How does Ren go from The Hunger to Chalk Outlines to Illest of Our Time to Ocean and now Masochist! No one can do it but Ren!
After coming back from one of my best friends funeral today who sadly passed at 31… I really needed a new Ren song more than I knew… thank you for keeping me strong these last few weeks Ren, keep up the amazing work❤
I am so sad to hear of your loss. I hope you can find solace in memories of happy, loving and joyful times you were together having fun! 🐇🕳️🖤Big Love and a virtual hug♥️
I completely see why Ren was interested in seeing people's opinions from this song. These are some of the most entertaining comments I've indulged myself in, lol. Everyone catches the Genius bars, but most miss the point. After drowning in this rabbit hole for the past 6 months or so, I can honestly say that I couldn't make a top 10 Ren list if I tried, and I have... but Masochist has taken the #1 spot for me and I'm a devout Christian, but I understand what Ren is trying to say in this song and in the path he is trying to shine a light on. You have to have a certain mindset to even appreciate any artist, but you have to have an open mind to really understand Ren. I already knew that Ren couldn't actually hurt anything or anyone after listening to him speak a few times, so it was easy to open up to his art. Kill Samsara reincarnate Nirvana was the best bar in this song and explains it simply, but nobody mentions it. Keep doing what you do Ren 👍👍🙌🙌
Okay, I feel like everyone is talking about the lyrics and the meaning behind them, but seriously. THE PRODUCTION. The BEAT. Oh my GOD. It’s so WEIRD. I love your choice of beats and how you alter your flow to fit the nuances in each of them. All of those funky synth sounds and the subtle background crowd noises add so much atmosphere to this track. The snares and cymbals are PERFECT for this too - so abrasive, it totally gives me Beastie Boys vibes. I’d love to hear this as an instrumental. This is probably my favorite beat you’ve released. Did you produce this yourself? I need to know. I have a desperate need to know more about how you produce your stuff. I would absolutely pay for a membership for your channel if it would allow you to do “breakdown” streams where you go into the nitty gritty of how you craft your songs. Also, “take the curve of the Earth and I flatten it” is such a badass fucking bar. Holding the guitar like a gun, too. Goddamn.
I'll reiterate what I said in the live chat. I saw some hate in the chat on this one (which is expected with any artistic expression). And I gotta say, this song is absolutely fuckin fire. This song is the dark side getting a chance to spit it's truth. Everyone has a dark and a light (i.e. Hi Ren) and both need time out front. Another one to add to the playlists until the album comes out
The more I hear , the more I can appreciate your artistic diversity in just diving into different styles and just fitting your rhyme schemes and style into that beat. [Your fans will school me but understand that I've not dived into music of other artists for years so I'm new to Ren's stuff] Really cool tune bud, you are a gem of an artist, keep going strong!
The agression and delivery in the last verse is 🔥🔥🔥. There are always songs that get better as you listen a few times, but they usually peak out after 3-4 listens. This one has a very high peak I think.
@@RenMakesMusic In my 20th-30th listen atm :). Yeah a bit diminishing returns at this point but still climbing, and it moved very quickly through the list of my favourite Ren songs approaching top 10 (which is a very very hard thing to do).
Ren is obviously one of the most refreshing and genius artists out there,, so I'll just compliment few things. Like he isn't afraid to show that every creator is influenced and sheit like"Hi, My name is KILL make me smile. Shit like "kill your Karma, killkillkill samsara, reincarnate reach Nirvana" fcking blow my mind!
When I saw the name of this song on the album tracklist, I knew it was going to be raw, definitely coming from a place of deep hurt, and the self-sabotage that can often come with that. I know someone else has already said this but I think it merits being repeated again: thank you for making me feel less alone, for normalizing the deep dark and often twisted places we go to when the pain is too much to handle and MUST be expressed or else we lose burning ourselves to the ground, from the inside out. At least, that is how it is for me. The extreme hurt, furious anger, and intense frustration must be heard. Be let out. In order for ME to live, to bring peace to my mind and try to move on. But of course, the best way to do that is to alchemize it into something that won't hurt yourself or others, like art. This song is a much needed cathartic release. It is therapeutic. ❤ you, Ren.
I've got LOADS of time for you REN... you've been through so much and found a way to come out the other side even stronger I'm PTSD and all the rest of the crap that goes with it... Anyway listen all I wanted to say is the best songs come from the darkest times in people's lives this is why everything you make from the videos to the effects and then the music you create with the words you put to it speaks volumes I don't think you realise how many people you are really helping just getting through another day or another hour look I've got mad love for you and you Crewe keep the good work up....❤
It makes you think. If we were to purge the world and start again would anything really be different, or would we end up in the same place (like Animal Farm). The only thing we can really change is what we control and that really is ourselves. Those changes often come with self-inflicted pain. At best, the pain of disciple. At worst, the severing of relationships. So, at some level you have to Masochist to change and grow. Ironically, you have to be a Masochist to stay in the pain of life you are in. Love this blokes work.
Lets all stop for a second and apreciate this top quality content we get weekly!!! I have not been so hyped for an artist for a long time, I have to thank you and yours! All them hip hop references I grew up listen to them! If you ever come to Spain, let me know, you got a place here!
That is jarring, subtle at times, direct, metaphoric & maybe even a lesson in lyrical roll play. It’s also imo an incredibly honest exposition of the human psyche and as person with mental health issues I am thrilled. As a person who can occasionally create something worthwhile I can empathize with the bits about killing foolish perception & ludicrous expectation. It’s disturbingly good.
This reminds me of Marylin Manson lyrics from Antichrist superstar. Very divisive and makes you think and tends to offend everyone. Love it! If art makes you think and possibly change your view of the world, it succeeds. Sweet beats that tickle the ears. Keep rocking Ren. Cheers from IOWA.
Bro.... like I literally DO NOT understand how you keep doing this.... literal banger after banger. Lyrical and creative. This beat goes hard and is immediately going on my gym playlist! Your'e an alien man...
This 55 year old ol' spiritual hippy is HERE for this! Killer track Ren! I love how you are so playful with the beats and the rhymes and the production is on point! Okay, time to listen again...and again...
Surprisingly, because I have always been more inclined to other styles of music, I LOVED this song. The beat is fire and the overall message is very powerful. For me it's about liberation, self-empowerment and "awakening"; it's also raw and nasty, while also deeply philosophical. These contrasts are life itself and once again Ren manages to deliver this message in a creative, surprising and passionate way. It’s great. Thanks, Ren, for this one!
I'm at work in a smoke shop waiting for this drop speakers fully up can't wait too hear this, Ren thanks for everything you give us! Much love my brother.
Dude you really have brought a buzz back to music. And It's so refreshing that you remain humble with the success. This is your time Ren. You are going all the way with all us fans hanging off your ankles😂. P.s any updates on vinyl (signed)
Have you ever seen a Tasmanian devil trying to walk with it's joeys hanging off their mum's ankles? 😅 😂 P.s. There are roughly 25,000 left In the wild of Tasmania, Australia💜
This is a banger damn. Love the idea of rebirth. It's powerful and at some point everyone and everything around you seems to be reborn as your assumptions and ideas of the world vanish and everything starts anew.
What I find so cool about this track is that on the surface it is so loco and dark, while at the same time there is a reference to Zen Buddhism. The Chinese Zen master Linji of Zen Buddhism says If you meet your parents, kill them! If you meet the patriarchs, kill them! If you meet the Buddha, kill him! Which roughly means that you must break down all illusions, be in the present and drop attachments to the past and future. In this way one achieves nirvana, which Ren also refers to. Well at least that's my interpretation haha!
Hey brother Ren. I have been watching reactions to masochist. First of all, 3/4 of the worlds population illiterate. Most trying to relate the title to the song. In my opinion, you titled the song because of the ‘ action in releasing it at this current time’. Where you are flying. You know it may cause you pain but you’re doing it anyway. You’re such a legend.
Watching a person, heavily sick, giving a glance in his journey to overcome a potential lethal sickness and harm done by unnecessary medication, through sharing a page out his diary, and still there are people reacting with negativety, emphasizes the problem.
It was really interesting to hear Ren talking about this on the Zach Sang Show recently. He talked about the concept of samsara and how the nature of his illness caused him to question the attachments we have to everything. The commenter who mentioned the Buddhist perspective was spot on, it seems. A lot of people reacted to this song with fear or concern, and others jumped to Ren's defence saying we have to accept the dark as well as the light, but there are much deeper layers. Personally I love it, it's an absolute banger as well :D
Ren hits once again! With a flow that brings the rain, Of rhyme schemes in your brain, Maintains the rap game, Hits hard in the fame! Ren is the man from the mental den, Showing us all the fenomen 🙈 He’s a musical intellect, with an infinite prospect, With a depth to collect, From a body that’s a wreck! No point to deflect, As people should have respect! For ren is what we should accept, As the keeper so we don’t disconnect, Let’s not loose the depth, Of our minds in retrospect…
This IS Excellent 🎉🎉Kudos 👏 to This Masterpiece 👏 ❤I'm Grateful to Be Able to Hear this at the moment...lol Pain is real and Music 🎶 Keeps me happy 😊 & I love how this song has been Displayed
I don't think anyone expected this from a song called Masochist, but it is Ren for you with another "surprise". I am sure this will make many people angry, some bars were objectively provocative.. BUT in the cancel culture that we live where everything is filtered by "politically correct" speech patterns good on Ren for not flinching from possible reactions to this song. Personally I like this side of Ren. Not afraid to "go there". After the hype train of Hi Ren, he could've removed this one from the album as it is not an easy song to swallow. Kudos to all 90s babies that grew up with middle finger songs, much appreciate this throwback to my angsty teen years~
It seems like he predicted he might get idolized and put on the pedestal For me the line about curve of the Earth is that he is so high up that he can see the Earth is round, but as he does not want it he says fuck it and flattens it by getting back down
If people are angry who cares? Ren uses music as his therapy like a lot of conscious artists. People are so soft and offended these days. It's so annoying
It’s Authentic. That’s what we love about you brother. Write what you want. Put out what you want. Your art. Integrity is so rare in the music industry and that’s what real fans want. Good on dude, plus sick flow. We’re all behind you.
You’re not getting it. It’s about awakening to a new paradigm. Please do not take it for face value, he’s a musical genius do you think he’s going to Give you a plate of that. I guess if it’s beyond conceptualization you may interpret how you wish. It’s just disappointing how many, hoping it plants a seed
After these weekly releases, I can say that this is probably the most relatable and powerful song on this album so far. Thought-provoking yet very universally relatable for anyone who has experienced deep spiritual and existential crisis, no matter the different background or reasons for your struggles. I sense this as a cathartic release, almost pouring out of you. Being in that state can be addictive but self-destructive and masochistic at the same time. Also, how your pain changes your relationship with your environment and the world is another significant aspect of this. The world becomes a terrible and dark place, nihilism and cynicism can easily take over, and frustration target even the people who care about you, leading you to self-isolation and alienation. It's no easy feat to pull yourself out of that and move on, especially if there are no easy solutions, if you know your problems are self-inflicted and over the years you have almost forgotten who you are, given up on your dreams, burdened by too much knowledge, lacking purpose and meaning in your existence.There's a reason people often find or curse God when they are at their lowest, when there is nothing else left but meaningless suffering. Anyway, this song is a good slap in the face, raw and authentic.
His subject matter is infinitely better than Eminem, though. Em focused mostly on dark subjects. Ren can cover any subject from dark to light and bring people together. Em is witty and twisted, but he doesn't bring out the best in people.
Apples to oranges guys, they're both very talented in their own right & there are things I prefer about each artist. Don't think it's right to say one is flat-out better than the other.
I think that Eminem and Ren are both immensely talented but shouldn't be compared with each other. The only thing I think they have in common is the more you listen to each artists separate tracks is you hear something you didn't hear the first time. This is my opinion anyway
You're(not just your music, but your story) truly an inspiration. I resonate with your energy, as I'm sure most do which is why we are fans haha but yea, wishing you good health
KILLING IT with the references. How do you keep putting out pure bangers so consistently and not just this album but ALL your work???? Protect this man at all costs. 🙇🏻♀️ As soon as each of us kill all attachments in this life we will finally be free. We can all still give love without clinging to those things and people we love. This is literally THE WAY. Pay attention people this isn’t only a badass track. This man is teaching from his experience. Life IS suffering but if you kill attachments you can reach a place of some solace
,,kill attachments'' and at the same time ,,protect at all costs'' ? I know these two statements are on two different levels, language and metalanguage, but still... lots to think about, or maybe I don't need to (,,always I've been an overthinker'')
Big love everyone, you can stream masochist on all DSPs here

As always the lyrics for anoyone who wants them (btw theres a typo on lyric video - meant to be 'right to the letter on the probate*)
Murder, murder there’s a killer on the beat

Apply the pressure, right to the letter on the probate
My flow is cocaine, stacked by the K.G. Woop, woop, that’s the sound of the police
Fuck the police coming straight out the underground
Watch me run around with the supersonic ultrasound
I came to bring the pain and turn it back around
Hi my name is… kill… I’m fucking up your town

Kill the power, kill the lights
Kill them in the dead of night
Kill these metaphors I write to all attachments in this life
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill
Ive been hollow in my sorrow swallow morpheus pill
I can feel, body start to peel, it don’t feel real, for real,
My mind is ill and it makes me wanna kill
The host with the most the force of ten men
Rope on my throat I flow like ocean
Provoking a ghost, ferocious omen,
Choking the pope, how well you know Ren? could it be him? could it be Ren? could he be coming to kill it again?
Could it be real? Could he be back? Could he be ripping up another track?
Could it be? Nah, can’t be him! Could have been anybody hmm…
Nah, nah, nah mate I’m pretty sure that’s not him Could it be possibly, probably, honestly I’m in a muddle its starting to bother me
Swallow my modesty, follow me follow me follow me down to the river and honour me
Im an anomaly, I am an Odessy, climbing the property ladder monopoly
Full of philosophy no one is stopping me
Could it be? Could it be? Could it be? Could it be? Vim, vim, vroom! That’s the sound of a pacifist
Little misguided turned to a masochist
Chilling with a chainsaw, chopping up your mattress
Forgive this blasphemous
Mother fucking Masochist
What a masterpiece
Badman ya know! Brrrrp! When them red jackets out bruv😢😢😢
Freaking amazing again!!
Unknown Eagle Earthquake Guy likes it!
Absolute banger Fella, pure heat! Love from Glastonbury 🐷🫶
Art is meant to disturb those who are comforted and comfort those who are disturbed. Thanks Ren for the zen.
💯😎
Nice
Hell yes
If Ren was in a happy place the night he wrote this 2 yrs back, then we would be listening to a happy tune. He wasn't, so we aren't. Ren never wrote these songs for release...they were his therapy. It's special that we get to see them revealed, and it certainly shines a light on the dark that many people face, and the feelings of destroying everything around them. The material he's currently working on will of course be very different, but with Ren I think you need to be able to accept the dark and the light.....it's what makes him an independant artist, where he has no label telling him to write songs to a formula. Personally I'm stunned by the amount of music he's created before and during his treatment in Canada.
even more impressive that he was shattering curvature 2 years ago
Oh dear! The NOW of the dead man walking is over. The road less traveled seems to be bumpy again.
agree but I'm looking forward to listening to more hopeful positive tracks :)
For a moment think to your darkest hour. Now think if during your darkest hour you were trapped in a room day in and day out. Your life passing by and no hope in sight. What would your soundtrack sound like?? Ladies and Gentlemen meet Ren climbing his way out of a hole. It is an honor and a privilege to finally see different aspects of you at different times in your life. If these tracks scare you or are too dark you glimpsed his state of mind at that time. He is a genius. I only make assumptions as I have never had the privilege to ask him personally. This is my take. Thanks for listening.
Well said. Truth in the moment always the artist's purpose.
Some fans seem shocked, surprised, and disappointed. It's as if they thought the "dark Ren" of 'Hi Ren' was a simple character and not an aspect of the man himself. Mental illness is ugly, folks, and it's not always sweet-sounding introspection and reflection.
Great point .
I know right? I think it's exactly on point with what we've seen so far.
I just wrote something similar to what u said. Some of Rens fans are annoying for real . This was actually one of my favs.
i didint like hi ren too acoustic.. i liked ths way more im here for the hiphop
@@politerudeboi6898 I love this.
Made to make you think 🤔
Hey Ren. You may never see this. I'm a military member. I found you a couple weeks ago and your song “Hi Ren” has became an almost comfort song. I have gone through a lot from being in service. I had doubts my whole life about me and my strengths and my capabilities as a person, a human, and the military can be rough on you. I had people who killed themselves, the hatred and jokes placed on me. It made me emotionally distraught. Everything from my childhood to my adult life now. I was the weird kid, the bullied kid. I ended up with anger issues and anxiety and suicidal thoughts. I coped poorly with the stuff. I felt alone. I ended up going to a therapist a year or so ago that I continue to do once in a while. And that journey of me fixing my problems, that may be worse than I'm aware I'm not sure, played in my head listening to that song. Seeing someone struggling with similar thoughts in such a unique and beautifully done way like you did. It's sheer badassery. You know this probably, but sharing your stories, your life, your thoughts. You're saving people. You have my respect and my support Ren.
mad love
"Sheer badassery".
One of the best compliment Ren ever received. 5:5
hell see it bruv stay strong
Glad you found a viable path through it. You make a difference too, every time you speak on your own experiences. Much love.
I'm glad that you found Ren
Listen to all his songs he is pure genius
Speaking for those of us that stay silent for too many years
I was diagnosed as a mancic depressive at age 12
Since then I have struggled with most days of my life
Now though I have finally found a place that is calming for me and that is in the words from Ren 😍❤💯
It took a few hours to percolate but I'm totally on board with this track now. Ren always gets me sooner or later 🤦♀🤣He doesn't shy away from expressing the whole gamut of human emotion. He's the essence of punk, writes what he wants and doesn't let anyone tell him what to do.
I couldn't agree more
Punk, exactly.
I'm still trying to digest it!
As another commenter wrote, this took my a bit to percolate. I was not in the right headspace to hear it. I listened again and man, I really understand it where it is coming from and I really, really like it. Ren, you are genius.
@@michellewainer7419 Glad you percolated, its a proper wised up trip. Best wishes.
21 mins after drop and already at 13k views!!!!
My brother, it is abundantly clear that the people love your music! Thank you for your art!!
Btw love your name
@@mkeask79 Thank you!
I love all the old school rap/hip-hop quotes and references. Lots of people may not be familiar, but I love the integration of some really cool lines from back in the day and seeing them used together in a new light and era!
I know me too. The old school beats, I love it
Fckn Same🔥❗❗🤗
Same, it flows so good.
Ren, your music is straight up amazing. Keep up the AMAZING work! My mom is a HUGE fan and loves all your songs, you’re one of the best music artists I’ve ever heard.
Idk why some fans are so shocked, he has told us he's been in phycosis before. Being chronically ill changes you, especially with Lyme. Lyme usually doesn't come alone and you're usually battling co infections too. I love anything red does ❤❤ this is a good song!
I remember back in the day, They Might Be Giants had this phone number where you could call and get an answering machine. They would update everyday with a new song. That’s kind of what Ren feels like with all these releases.
Yeah, I think I prefer this way over hearing like 70% of an album's songs for the first time all at once when the album drops. Time to digest each one individually and hear what others think of it!
Yes it does, shows some independent , quirky spirit and thinking outside the box. Bloomin eck. I haven't heard Birdhouse In Your Soul in ages. A Lad I dated "back in the day", was playing that in his beetle car when he racked up. Lol.
I think Shakespeare and Dickens did the slow drip/serialization. Yer man knows his stuff.
All I hear is "they might be giants brand new album... flooooooooood" straight into "I'm your only friend I'm not your only friend but I'm a little lonely friend but really I'm not actually your friend but I am..." 😂 good times
@@zaynabradshaw2985 Wasnt they the days. I remember it like yesterday, this tune blasting out from the beetle car, and my Dad checking him out from the doorstep. Well, at least he wasn't playing, " Bring your daughter to the slaughter" . Lol.
Finally the song that paints the Pig image! This is the definition of the pig, in my opinion, in each of Ren's songs
🐷
Ahhhhh! Great perspective. So then, it is the pov of the greed that is killing all those things in its unquenchable appetite to consume.
❤
That’s a good analogy! The track artwork is great haha like the track cover of the pig in the mask
The best thing about Ren is he's not a version of anything else. He is Ren, and that is more than enough to simply Cherish.
So true. I ❤ not knowing what he's going to do next, but he doesn't disappoint
I found "Hi Ren" tonight and it's easily the best, most well-performed, beautiful and pieces of art in modern history. I listened to it multiple times in a row, finally time to see what else Ren has done and THEN I FIND THIS FUCKING BANGER? Yeah, can already tell I'm looking at one of the most talented humans to have lived so far.
Singing along to this around the house with headphones, getting VERY strange looks from the family...(I'm a 51 year old mum of 2 so maybe that's why haha). Bloody great track! 👍
You go girl!!🤣👏🏻
Also a 47 year old mother....rock those headphones and be sure to say each lyric nice and loud for those in the back! Rock on, other mother!!!❤😂❤
🫶🏼👏🏼💁🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️I’m a 48 year old mum of 3 grown kiddos & 3 grandchildren and I’m always jamming to this and my family members are like what the heck is she listening to 🤷🏻♀️ she’s killing everyone 🔪 🩸 😂😂
As a Buddhist, I hear some very profound spiritual realizations in REN’s lyrics.
When everything is dead, killed… What remains?
If you say “nothing” you are wrong. If you say “something” you are wrong. If you open your mouth at all you are already wrong.
Just be and nothing more needs to be done.
Ren is on another level…
I agree... I saw him sing a song called elements I believe... he was like 20 something, very old soul
True words. The universe experiencing it's self as awareness.
@@darkcellador Some people are born that way.
Same. This is a deep track.
Agreed
As a fan of the dark and the twisted, this was an absolute banger. I love how you're so unafraid to push your art and take it to really intense places, no matter the emotion or vibe. It's always full-on and in your face, appreciate that approach so much!! ❤🔥
Art reflecting life.
I'm glad Ren agrees!
Me too, you can't have light without dark.
Join the twisted sisters, lol.
I couldn't have said it better!
Sometimes...just sometimes you need a self destructive absolute banger like this. Off you go to that dark place for a few bangin minutes, then back to realit..........
Thank you so much for being ♾
Just when you thought there's nothing else can be done with music and then Ren comes along and totally flips it on its head.. you got alot of artist starting to relook at the music abilities...
I love the lyrical and thematic threads running through the songs on this album. It’s like watching a plot unfold…
I'm afraid you couldn't be more right. still, love it.
plot - depopulation
Illest of our Time, Animal Flow, Murderer, Down on the Beat....Now Masochist! You've been killing it! I'd love yo hear more Ren over some Drum and Bass in the future! My Ren Playlist smashes on my speakers daily.
Wow !
The details are sick. The very first two seconds were so nostalgic for me. Not many people born a few years after me know the sounds of a needle being placed on vinyl. A noise you always heard just before the music started. So dope man!
I love how you sing on this brother. Ren man, I hate that it took so much negativity to get to where you are, and I have to admit my selfishness in your pain being my epiphany. But I do wanna thank you for being you, and being strong enough to put it all out there... You inspire me more everyday. We don't know each other from Adam, but I love ya brother, and I am proud of you
I don't know what you think you're doing with these songs, but please don't ever stop. This is amazing.
I am a grown up enough to accept if not every song is for me. This one missed me personally, but that says nothing about its quality. I am still super hyped for the album to come out, ordered it on CD and digital as well. I will wait for some reaction videos to see some other perspectives, help me walk around it, not just the point of view where I am right now :)
Ooof, this is a beautiful comment.
I am glad of the understanding you have attained in your life. Keep growing!
Agreed completely.
You and I are on the same page! Even if this one was a personal miss for me, I appreciate so many nuggets within it as separate ideas and sounds. And I love the themes it plays with, its place in the compilation of expression, and what it's offering everyone else. There are so many others I can enjoy and am on my way to do just that!
This one and love music 4 didn't do it for me but I still think they are well done. Just not my cup of tea. I am really looking forward to anything he's written since hi Ren. I think the timing of his come up and what he had prepared already was such a contrast to how the majority discovered him musically. That being said it's amazing how open minded most have been and even if the recent releases aren't the epic next level bardcore type stuff, dude puts out so much good music of all types. I find it really refreshing never knowing what the next drop is gonna sound like.
Simply put. The exception that proves the rule
This one was going hard and was really dark. Insanity vibes and sick flows.
Loved also what you did on the voices with the deep, dark undertones. Perfect fit for this song.
Gonna have to listen to it again and again to let it marinade in my mind.
Massive crucify your culture feels here. Maybe some sort of continuation of that song I feel.
Thanks for this dark trip into the depths of a dark mind.
43 yrs old, fucking fell in love with your buskin, collaberations and being fucking awed by your talent. grew up with the (nowadays oldscool hiphop) have tbh love your ...fuck dunno love everything , keep going keep doing what makes you happy. you are a bright star shining in a dense cloud hopefully one day ppl will see you as the north star and follow youre path
It shouldn’t really matter what “time in his life” Ren wrote this track, yeah it’s a lot heavier and darker than many of his other songs, but seriously who cares? This song is fuckin awesome, and the man along with Sam and the rest of his crew are fucking legends!
Keep doing what you doing my friend,
Also congrats @RenMakesMusic on the album being no1 🏴🏴
Just simply phenomenal. When I think you’re going in one direction, off we go a million mph in the opposite direction. Love it!
Oh hell yeah! I cannot wait for these singles and the album! Let’s gooo 🔥 ❤️ 🙏
Yessss bro, will be checking your reaction out😁
Looking forward to you checking this it, it’s a sick tune 🙌👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
🗑️
Your also a genius 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm 32 this year and never been more excited over a musician. Daily I must play multiple of your songs and the feeling I get singing along and listening is 👌🏼👌🏼 thank you Ren
This not having a million views yet is a crying fucking shame.
I got that in Masochist (someone who intentionally hurts themself) that Ren is furious he has to kill off all of the things he loves due to his health. He never meant “kill” literally. The things he’s killing are the things he loves and he was angry death would take it all from him and he’s pissed. He is only hurting himself.
I don't know if the new brand of antidepressants or you that have pulled me out of a ridiculously deep place. I thoroughly enjoy your style, talent, presence and skills. I really do hope you keep the momentum going and go far.
The amount of homage paid and throwbacks to your songs are insane
@@oscarcurtis5196 he had some homage to NWA saying “f the police coming straight out of Brighton-town(underground” maybe on the “hi my name is” homage to Eminem instead of saying slim shady it says “kill”
@@oscarcurtis5196 in “what went wrong” with Sam he also does the same NWA homage and callback when they’re in the car driving
Also follow me follow me follow me down reminded me of an old Nelly Furtado song haha could be total coincidence tho
I seriously heard a lot of homeages cantt name them all
@@NickNamedIt bit of method man 'I came to bring the pain' , and KRS One 'Sound of da police' in there too ;)
I honestly feel that Ren besides being the genius artist that he is, is also soo dam psychologically intelligent that he stuffs these words we were told are tabu to say and talk about our entire lives directly in our faces showing us that we are fine, no need to flip out. if you actually pay attention to the lyrics Ren puts the antidote line explaining all the lyrics that just dropped your jaw. fkn genius!!!
I'll admit this isn't usually my type of music, but i swear that ren just has a way of pulling you in.
I agree!
I never read the comments before now, usually rock your music on Spotify. I had no fucking idea this song was so divisive. It’s literally my favorite on Sick Boi… top three Ren songs overall.
Now I don’t know if that’s telling on myself about the state of my mental health, but my interpretation of “killing” everything is letting it all go. Letting go of expectations and pressures, including the ones put on you by yourself. “Kill your karma…nirvana” line especially: let go of your mistakes and don’t be afraid to reinvent yourself. The hook, too. Man, I could really get into my interpretation of this… but fuck, it just resonates so much, that’s all.
Thanks for sharing your music, Ren! Much love. 💚
He told y’all, don’t trip because he’s a masochist… Not a sadist. People upset with these lyrics need to fucking chill and use some reading comprehension and critical thinking.
Putting truths/life events into fire verses.
This 45 year old is happy I took a chance on a video last year.
Wise young man.
Get it, Get it Ren
Wow, another COMPLETELY UNIQUE one! How does Ren go from The Hunger to Chalk Outlines to Illest of Our Time to Ocean and now Masochist! No one can do it but Ren!
I wouldn't say "completely unique" based on some of the previous releases the last few months. Just my opinion
After coming back from one of my best friends funeral today who sadly passed at 31… I really needed a new Ren song more than I knew… thank you for keeping me strong these last few weeks Ren, keep up the amazing work❤
So sorry for your loss
That sucks to hear. I lost my friend of 42 a year ago so I know the pain. Sorry for your loss.
I am so sad to hear of your loss. I hope you can find solace in memories of happy, loving and joyful times you were together having fun! 🐇🕳️🖤Big Love and a virtual hug♥️
Sorry for your loss
I completely see why Ren was interested in seeing people's opinions from this song. These are some of the most entertaining comments I've indulged myself in, lol. Everyone catches the Genius bars, but most miss the point. After drowning in this rabbit hole for the past 6 months or so, I can honestly say that I couldn't make a top 10 Ren list if I tried, and I have... but Masochist has taken the #1 spot for me and I'm a devout Christian, but I understand what Ren is trying to say in this song and in the path he is trying to shine a light on. You have to have a certain mindset to even appreciate any artist, but you have to have an open mind to really understand Ren. I already knew that Ren couldn't actually hurt anything or anyone after listening to him speak a few times, so it was easy to open up to his art. Kill Samsara reincarnate Nirvana was the best bar in this song and explains it simply, but nobody mentions it. Keep doing what you do Ren 👍👍🙌🙌
Okay, I feel like everyone is talking about the lyrics and the meaning behind them, but seriously. THE PRODUCTION. The BEAT. Oh my GOD. It’s so WEIRD. I love your choice of beats and how you alter your flow to fit the nuances in each of them. All of those funky synth sounds and the subtle background crowd noises add so much atmosphere to this track. The snares and cymbals are PERFECT for this too - so abrasive, it totally gives me Beastie Boys vibes. I’d love to hear this as an instrumental. This is probably my favorite beat you’ve released.
Did you produce this yourself? I need to know. I have a desperate need to know more about how you produce your stuff. I would absolutely pay for a membership for your channel if it would allow you to do “breakdown” streams where you go into the nitty gritty of how you craft your songs.
Also, “take the curve of the Earth and I flatten it” is such a badass fucking bar. Holding the guitar like a gun, too. Goddamn.
I'll reiterate what I said in the live chat.
I saw some hate in the chat on this one (which is expected with any artistic expression). And I gotta say, this song is absolutely fuckin fire. This song is the dark side getting a chance to spit it's truth. Everyone has a dark and a light (i.e. Hi Ren) and both need time out front.
Another one to add to the playlists until the album comes out
Oh u bout to go in huh 👀
The more I hear , the more I can appreciate your artistic diversity in just diving into different styles and just fitting your rhyme schemes and style into that beat. [Your fans will school me but understand that I've not dived into music of other artists for years so I'm new to Ren's stuff]
Really cool tune bud, you are a gem of an artist, keep going strong!
The agression and delivery in the last verse is 🔥🔥🔥. There are always songs that get better as you listen a few times, but they usually peak out after 3-4 listens. This one has a very high peak I think.
Legebdddd what’s your prediction?
@@RenMakesMusic In my 20th-30th listen atm :). Yeah a bit diminishing returns at this point but still climbing, and it moved very quickly through the list of my favourite Ren songs approaching top 10 (which is a very very hard thing to do).
@@nondetection8882how ever many Ren songs there are, is how big my Top whatever list is :)
Ren is obviously one of the most refreshing and genius artists out there,, so I'll just compliment few things.
Like he isn't afraid to show that every creator is influenced and sheit like"Hi, My name is KILL make me smile.
Shit like "kill your Karma, killkillkill samsara, reincarnate reach Nirvana" fcking blow my mind!
That's the most offensive thing I've seen since someone played Tom Jones on a live stream. Fire as always Ren, keep it up brother🔥
This is one of those songs that would've had my mom bringing out the holy water if she heard me listening to it back in the day. Love it.
It’s the contrast between dark lyrics and bouncy vibe that I love about this.
Same here. The dark and light. A pendulum.
This usually isn't my type of music but damn I love this
Therapy. Feels like a bit of deep shadow work to me. I am really feeling this one. So bold and brash. LOVE IT REN! Thank you.
When I saw the name of this song on the album tracklist, I knew it was going to be raw, definitely coming from a place of deep hurt, and the self-sabotage that can often come with that.
I know someone else has already said this but I think it merits being repeated again: thank you for making me feel less alone, for normalizing the deep dark and often twisted places we go to when the pain is too much to handle and MUST be expressed or else we lose burning ourselves to the ground, from the inside out.
At least, that is how it is for me. The extreme hurt, furious anger, and intense frustration must be heard. Be let out. In order for ME to live, to bring peace to my mind and try to move on. But of course, the best way to do that is to alchemize it into something that won't hurt yourself or others, like art. This song is a much needed cathartic release. It is therapeutic.
❤ you, Ren.
Thursday is now my favorite day of the week. And my least productive. 🤣
❤❤❤
Same 😂❤✌
Same here 🙈
F*** off Friday, you've been replaced! 😂
Same here 😂
I've got LOADS of time for you REN... you've been through so much and found a way to come out the other side even stronger I'm PTSD and all the rest of the crap that goes with it...
Anyway listen all I wanted to say is the best songs come from the darkest times in people's lives this is why everything you make from the videos to the effects and then the music you create with the words you put to it speaks volumes I don't think you realise how many people you are really helping just getting through another day or another hour look I've got mad love for you and you Crewe keep the good work up....❤
It makes you think. If we were to purge the world and start again would anything really be different, or would we end up in the same place (like Animal Farm). The only thing we can really change is what we control and that really is ourselves. Those changes often come with self-inflicted pain. At best, the pain of disciple. At worst, the severing of relationships. So, at some level you have to Masochist to change and grow. Ironically, you have to be a Masochist to stay in the pain of life you are in. Love this blokes work.
I'm just coming back to say this song is fucking dope.
Lets all stop for a second and apreciate this top quality content we get weekly!!! I have not been so hyped for an artist for a long time, I have to thank you and yours! All them hip hop references I grew up listen to them!
If you ever come to Spain, let me know, you got a place here!
Your beats your poetry your flamenco guitar. Your unpreserved vocal range and tones all make you aFN SUPERSTARR....!
Your range of references all through your lyrics is astonishing.
That is jarring, subtle at times, direct, metaphoric & maybe even a lesson in lyrical roll play.
It’s also imo an incredibly honest exposition of the human psyche and as person with mental health issues I am thrilled.
As a person who can occasionally create something worthwhile I can empathize with the bits about killing foolish perception & ludicrous expectation.
It’s disturbingly good.
This reminds me of Marylin Manson lyrics from Antichrist superstar. Very divisive and makes you think and tends to offend everyone. Love it! If art makes you think and possibly change your view of the world, it succeeds. Sweet beats that tickle the ears. Keep rocking Ren. Cheers from IOWA.
Bring back offensive 90s music aha!!!!!
Now you’re talking!! Push the boundaries! Keep doing you Ren, you’re music is touching alot of lives in a great way.
@@RenMakesMusicAbsolutely!
@@RenMakesMusic i'm actually not even joking, bring that shit back, it's gonna be my gospel for my borderline crisis moments. 😂😂
Bro.... like I literally DO NOT understand how you keep doing this.... literal banger after banger. Lyrical and creative. This beat goes hard and is immediately going on my gym playlist! Your'e an alien man...
You make such melodically catchy and lyrically dark hooks, and I am here for it. This song is 🔥
This 55 year old ol' spiritual hippy is HERE for this! Killer track Ren! I love how you are so playful with the beats and the rhymes and the production is on point! Okay, time to listen again...and again...
So glad to see I'm not the only old ass in the room.😅At our age we only seek out excellence.
Surprisingly, because I have always been more inclined to other styles of music, I LOVED this song. The beat is fire and the overall message is very powerful. For me it's about liberation, self-empowerment and "awakening"; it's also raw and nasty, while also deeply philosophical. These contrasts are life itself and once again Ren manages to deliver this message in a creative, surprising and passionate way. It’s great. Thanks, Ren, for this one!
This message is complex and yet simple. Love the respect for good hip hop. The beat even has a little Busta Rhymes vibe.
I'm at work in a smoke shop waiting for this drop speakers fully up can't wait too hear this, Ren thanks for everything you give us! Much love my brother.
Dude you really have brought a buzz back to music. And It's so refreshing that you remain humble with the success. This is your time Ren. You are going all the way with all us fans hanging off your ankles😂. P.s any updates on vinyl (signed)
Just like a bee. Buzzin and cross pollinating.
More like buzz to our lives 🎉
Have you ever seen a Tasmanian devil trying to walk with it's joeys hanging off their mum's ankles? 😅 😂
P.s. There are roughly 25,000 left In the wild of Tasmania, Australia💜
Haha! Yes that is definitely us😂
Still chasing the vinyl, its definitely coming and already designed, most likely on the week of album release, but possibly a week after, stay tuned!
The revolution won't be televised but it *WILL* have a soundtrack.
Most of this song is genuinly good. I started to headbang like my life depended on it. Love you ren!
my brother if you need someone to talk to am here. LMAO this was a whole other level fiyahhhhhh
Can wait for the album to drop ren puts so much work in to his music can we appreciate it ❤
Thank you! Coming 13th oct !! Preorders now live
www.sickboialbum.com/
I appreciate it
This is a banger damn. Love the idea of rebirth. It's powerful and at some point everyone and everything around you seems to be reborn as your assumptions and ideas of the world vanish and everything starts anew.
What I find so cool about this track is that on the surface it is so loco and dark, while at the same time there is a reference to Zen Buddhism.
The Chinese Zen master Linji of Zen Buddhism says If you meet your parents, kill them! If you meet the patriarchs, kill them! If you meet the Buddha, kill him!
Which roughly means that you must break down all illusions, be in the present and drop attachments to the past and future. In this way one achieves nirvana, which Ren also refers to.
Well at least that's my interpretation haha!
Hey brother Ren.
I have been watching reactions to masochist. First of all, 3/4 of the worlds population illiterate.
Most trying to relate the title to the song. In my opinion, you titled the song because of the ‘ action in releasing it at this current time’. Where you are flying.
You know it may cause you pain but you’re doing it anyway. You’re such a legend.
Watching a person, heavily sick, giving a glance in his journey to overcome a potential lethal sickness and harm done by unnecessary medication, through sharing a page out his diary, and still there are people reacting with negativety, emphasizes the problem.
DAMN
YO ITS YOU!!!
It was really interesting to hear Ren talking about this on the Zach Sang Show recently. He talked about the concept of samsara and how the nature of his illness caused him to question the attachments we have to everything. The commenter who mentioned the Buddhist perspective was spot on, it seems. A lot of people reacted to this song with fear or concern, and others jumped to Ren's defence saying we have to accept the dark as well as the light, but there are much deeper layers. Personally I love it, it's an absolute banger as well :D
Ren hits once again!
With a flow that brings the rain,
Of rhyme schemes in your brain,
Maintains the rap game,
Hits hard in the fame!
Ren is the man from the mental den,
Showing us all the fenomen 🙈
He’s a musical intellect,
with an infinite prospect,
With a depth to collect,
From a body that’s a wreck!
No point to deflect,
As people should have respect!
For ren is what we should accept,
As the keeper so we don’t disconnect,
Let’s not loose the depth,
Of our minds in retrospect…
This IS Excellent 🎉🎉Kudos 👏 to This Masterpiece 👏 ❤I'm Grateful to Be Able to Hear this at the moment...lol Pain is real and Music 🎶 Keeps me happy 😊 & I love how this song has been Displayed
this is strangely comforting for me
I don't think anyone expected this from a song called Masochist, but it is Ren for you with another "surprise".
I am sure this will make many people angry, some bars were objectively provocative..
BUT in the cancel culture that we live where everything is filtered by "politically correct" speech patterns good on Ren for not flinching from possible reactions to this song.
Personally I like this side of Ren. Not afraid to "go there". After the hype train of Hi Ren, he could've removed this one from the album as it is not an easy song to swallow.
Kudos to all 90s babies that grew up with middle finger songs, much appreciate this throwback to my angsty teen years~
It seems like he predicted he might get idolized and put on the pedestal
For me the line about curve of the Earth is that he is so high up that he can see the Earth is round, but as he does not want it he says fuck it and flattens it by getting back down
If people are angry who cares? Ren uses music as his therapy like a lot of conscious artists. People are so soft and offended these days. It's so annoying
It’s Authentic. That’s what we love about you brother. Write what you want. Put out what you want. Your art. Integrity is so rare in the music industry and that’s what real fans want. Good on dude, plus sick flow. We’re all behind you.
You’re not getting it. It’s about awakening to a new paradigm. Please do not take it for face value, he’s a musical genius do you think he’s going to Give you a plate of that. I guess if it’s beyond conceptualization you may interpret how you wish. It’s just disappointing how many, hoping it plants a seed
The Beat is sooooo diabolical alone...let alone the bloody lyrics...literally....LOVE IT...
Most of your songs resonate with people.
And that is amazing.
Back once again to show appreciation for this masterpiece 🙌
After these weekly releases, I can say that this is probably the most relatable and powerful song on this album so far. Thought-provoking yet very universally relatable for anyone who has experienced deep spiritual and existential crisis, no matter the different background or reasons for your struggles. I sense this as a cathartic release, almost pouring out of you. Being in that state can be addictive but self-destructive and masochistic at the same time. Also, how your pain changes your relationship with your environment and the world is another significant aspect of this. The world becomes a terrible and dark place, nihilism and cynicism can easily take over, and frustration target even the people who care about you, leading you to self-isolation and alienation. It's no easy feat to pull yourself out of that and move on, especially if there are no easy solutions, if you know your problems are self-inflicted and over the years you have almost forgotten who you are, given up on your dreams, burdened by too much knowledge, lacking purpose and meaning in your existence.There's a reason people often find or curse God when they are at their lowest, when there is nothing else left but meaningless suffering. Anyway, this song is a good slap in the face, raw and authentic.
Ive declared in my last video that Ren is the Welsh Eminem!
his wordplay is world class!! GO REN!!! CANT WAIT FOR THIS ONE TO REACT TO!!
His subject matter is infinitely better than Eminem, though. Em focused mostly on dark subjects. Ren can cover any subject from dark to light and bring people together. Em is witty and twisted, but he doesn't bring out the best in people.
@@brandyfritz1587Em's lyricism is also infinitely better than Ren's and he himself will admit it. Ren has more fun in his tracks arguably though.
Yeah & Ren is 100% more talented & creative 😊
Apples to oranges guys, they're both very talented in their own right & there are things I prefer about each artist. Don't think it's right to say one is flat-out better than the other.
I think that Eminem and Ren are both immensely talented but shouldn't be compared with each other. The only thing I think they have in common is the more you listen to each artists separate tracks is you hear something you didn't hear the first time. This is my opinion anyway
Honestly Ren never misses. Yet another song I will be listening to on repeat. Thank you Ren.
Love the vibe of this one
“My flow is cocaine, stacked by THE KG” is incredible
Sick Boi is shaping up to be the album of the year - heck the decade! Enjoy every second bro!
And there's 7 (if I'm not missing anything) songs yet to be released! I'm so excited for Ren and this album
You're(not just your music, but your story) truly an inspiration. I resonate with your energy, as I'm sure most do which is why we are fans haha but yea, wishing you good health
The intro he sounds like Junkrat from Overwatch, love it
I love this one.
KILLING IT with the references. How do you keep putting out pure bangers so consistently and not just this album but ALL your work???? Protect this man at all costs. 🙇🏻♀️ As soon as each of us kill all attachments in this life we will finally be free. We can all still give love without clinging to those things and people we love. This is literally THE WAY. Pay attention people this isn’t only a badass track. This man is teaching from his experience. Life IS suffering but if you kill attachments you can reach a place of some solace
,,kill attachments'' and at the same time ,,protect at all costs'' ? I know these two statements are on two different levels, language and metalanguage, but still...
lots to think about, or maybe I don't need to (,,always I've been an overthinker'')
I have never been so excited for music to drop until Ren! 💖🖤💖
