    Great reaction, as always!
    Listen back with the context that the song is almost entirely double entendres about him being sick and frustrated about not finding solutions/getting well while fighting autoimmunity for the last 15+ years.
    The genius of the dual meaning in his lyrics is, frankly, intimidating. He operates on another level.

    Another great reaction, like a lot of American reactors I don’t know if you got the double meaning of “illest” Rens not boasting about being “illest” as in the best, he’s literally referring too his illness and not being able to be cured so he is feels he’s remaining the “illest of our time”

    Great reaction. Love the enthusiasm. ❤
    The Big Push - I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop is definitely where to go next if you want to see another arrow to Ren's bow.
    However, Animal Flow (a new song!) is dropping soon.

      'war pigs' immediately followed next in that set, and that's where you want to go if you want to see rock, or his own 'crucify your culture' is heavily Rage against the machine influenced.

Every single one of them are 🔥🔥🔥 and yes, several of the live busking videos.

    'I'm coughing catchy bronchitis' - His bars are the disease which he coughs when he raps, and they are catchy because, well, they are. You are in your funeral coffin because you've caught them. Essentially, he's saying that you're a victim of his talent...he's infected you with the dopeness of his music.

    Funny thing about that elevator scene with the out of sync head nodding, Ren had mentioned that it was intended to be in time, but if you ask me, it gives it a much more chaotic feel that fits with the undertone of the music.

    The Demogorgon of Oppin, I think is saying OP in, or "OP" which is short for "overpowered" in video games. You might say in World of Warcraft, oh this class is OP, or overpowered because they have some stats that when combined properly just kill anyone else too easily(because of poor balance in programming). He's saying he's overpowered, but connecting it to the demogorgon from Stranger Things so it's like he's overpowered in the underworld. It's an amazing rhyme and connection, and I haven't heard anyone comment on this, but I think it's right. I'm loving Ren, I cry watching "Hi Ren" most days, it really cuts to the heart. And don't forget 11, the character, and how SHE is OP in stranger things.

    You boys must be my age or around that 48 lol! Once Ren comes to America it's going to sell out concerts! Man American people have no idea about him well most don't lol. But I've been in the rabbit hole for the last 2 months and I've turned my daughter and sons onto him. My daughter loves him as do I. I relate 1000% with ren!! The music industry needed Him. He is going to give me faith in the music industry. I really haven't seen no beats like Ren since the GOATs The Beastie Boys! He does it all. So he isn't just 1 genre of music. Rap, Hip Hop, Rock, Classic Rock which is my favorite genre like Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, blues and more genres than all people that like Ren but don't like the same genre of music as each other but both will like Ren no matter if you like rap, hip hop, classic rock and rock and more! THE WORLD NEEDS REN!! So glad .

SO he gets to feeling like he's a rap star then damn; he don't feel so good; but with out missing a beat he's up on the roof top- fighting to take his place again as a rap god. I need to have coffee with this gentleman! ReN please come tour the US! I am so happy he is in a position of full artistic control now and not under a lable... he is a lable!
