Lots of little references to his favorite rappers - Breaking Atoms by Main Source (1991). China without rice, Bible without Christ from The Big Picture by Big L (2000). Maybe somebody will make a playlist based on the references in the lyrics. Others like Biggie and Pac were more obvious in the RIP part of the lyrics. Great song.
I think if u say a student of the game u do him short. He is a student of music in general. He can do every genre if he puts his mind and effort in it, which he always does.
@@guppie19833 I agree...I'm in that man's cult...errrrr...I mean book club. The number of things around the house that have the "sick boi" "FA" and "money game" logo is embarrassing. Well it would be if I cared. 😂
The flow, the delivery, the performance, the lyrics... the LYRICS!?! All out of this World! As always! :) However, the icing on the cake is Ren's remix and all the added audio, especially the guitar! Just fantastic! :)
The first Ren video I've ever watched and the first Ren track I've ever listened to, after seeing him dominating on music reaction channels for around 2 years. He raps in a London accent, so I expected him to be from London, but no he's from Bangor, Wales. The only other Welsh rapper I know of (other than Goldie Lookin Chain group) who's named Local, and is from Cardiff, Wales, also sounds like he's from London.
He’s spent most of his adult life in Bristol London and Brighton so he speaks in that accent when he raps . I live in Brighton I’ve met ren may times and he doesn’t have even the slightest Welsh accent a little West Country maybe but definitely not welsh
@@teggsyohh2 I've met GK from Bad Boy Chiller Crew many times, yet I don't remember. He apparently used to go to my sisters house a lot, as he fancied my niece growing up, yet I don't remember him at all. I'm fairly sure I'd seen his former next door neighbour Lunar C at some point however, as I was sure I had seen him before he was famous, but where and when I have no idea.
@@teggsyohh2 lucky you I'm jealous of that. I can hear a little of his Welsh accent on his hilarious instagram vid clips especially when he said I can't bloody sleep that sounded Welsh accent coming out there 😂
Ren has a huge back catalogue - solo, duets, and with his band The Big Push. Rap, Rock, Blues, Ballads, Punk, Raggae, no country that I know of but it wouldn't surprise me lol. Then there is what his fans call Bardcore - epic songs/performances that tell full stories - Hi Ren; the Tales of Jenny, Screech & Violet (must watch in that order), the Money Game trilogy (especially Money Game 3). Ren writes & produces his own music, directs, his own music videos, makes (most of) his own beats & plays piano, bass, guitar & drums. You never know what you are going to get with a new Ren song - except sheer musical brilliance.
I enjoyed your reaction but why pause seconds from the end? It broke the last line, though the fact that he reversed the line you paused for, to the original Nas line... "death is the cousin of sleep" to "sleep is the cousin of death, so hold your breath" was appropriate. He obviously knew that people were going to pause it, to flaunt their knowledge, only to be caught out by the second part, 'so hold your breath!". Ren's a cheeky bugger. A clever cheeky bugger! :)
You guys missed Genesis. Another bar heavy rap. You should also check out chalk outlines he did with a female artist named Chinchilla. Also how to be me also with chinchilla. Those 2 are showcasing his singing skills
I find it odd a few reactors have said that rens been "studying" Nas or hip hop when can he not just be a massive fan of either of them without being classed as "studying" them?. I'm not being a dick about it either I just find it odd that I've heard people say that a few times now. I know alot about the beastie boys but I wouldn't say I've been studying them I just put a song on and listen.
It’s pretty common for rappers to have studied rappers that came before them. They learn from them. Rapping is not something anyone can just ‘do’ so they study their verses to see how they were constructed etc

Y’all should react to Lil Mabu x Lil RT Big Dog Shit, it’s a decent song, hearing RT is hilarious😂 lil Mabu goes hard tho imo! Love the bar breakdowns💯
Ren stole Big L's bars in this!!! It's like China without Rice like the holy bible without Christ! That is a big L bar! You can't be stealing legendary rappers lyrics!... Not a good look!

Glad you shared this info
I hear that although it was short ,it was actually HALF the TIME of the original.
There is Nobody out there doing what REN is doing…Nobody! Yeah…take out your damn phone and look. Renegades!!!
Ren is a student of the game and it looks to come easy. Taking nothing away from his super work ethic to get to these levels.

Like Ren said in ‘The Hunger’ he’s “teach[ing] over beats” and I’m learning loads about rap. ❤
Enjoyed your reaction. Thanks 👍

Comment of the day 👏👏👏❤️

It's only been about a year that reaction channels have flocked to Ren"s stuff

You reacted awesome yh the bars are insane and such a great reaction lads 💪👍
Yeah and some of them he stole from Big L.
@@Samw8484 He didn't steal anything, it's an homage to the rappers he looks up to. That's what the entire Retake thing is all about.
He is in Calgary Canada
the line feeding them pie Pi is 3.14 ren drop this on Pi day 14th its also 3rd month so u get 3.14 also did Notice the Eletric guitar he added
From the UK and I've been listening to hip hop since The Sugar Hill Gang and Grandmaster Flash, we love our hip hop over here 😊
4:14 Atom Bomb bars... Oppin-Heimer
and the first album NAS was involved in was Breaking Atoms
That's lovely downtown Calgary!
PIMPIN THA PAIN!🔥🔥💯
❤ #ren - legend also 🖤
I know this route better than some streets around where I live. 😳 (Cheshire, UK 🇬🇧)
Ren comment in his video about the traffic timer stopped at 0 when Ren stopped moving. Crazy Coincidence!
He commented on a other reaction who asked if this was Calgary, he confirmed that. So he is Still in Canada.
I enjoyed your reaction but why pause seconds from the end? It broke the last line, though the fact that he reversed the line you paused for, to the original Nas line... "death is the cousin of sleep" to "sleep is the cousin of death, so hold your breath" was appropriate.

At the intersection he says he's "the waviest guy". Nas first rap/nickname was Kid Wave.
He stopped at 2.10, half the time of Nas halftime. He also released it on Pi day. With the pi and pirates scheme
MAD RESPECT TO HIP HOP AND NAS
Ren is amazing.
Enjoy your vacation
Fun fact: In Greek mythology, sleep is the cousin of Death 😊
Right. That's why people use the phrase
I’m be watched at least 25 reactions of this . And you’re the first to understand the prostitution of pain 😆😆😆😆 I’m pimping my pain !!!!😊
You guys missed Genesis. Another bar heavy rap. You should also check out chalk outlines he did with a female artist named Chinchilla. Also how to be me also with chinchilla. Those 2 are showcasing his singing skills
Ren and his team are moving to La
Glad to see 'ya feeling better, Court 😊

This is a non monetized track made specifically to pay homage to the music that shaped him. He’s not stealing bars, he’s highlighting ones he’s loved.
Always an agitator lurking, the whole track is to pay homage to the greats
