"What he contributed as an artist......" And to think that Hi Ren only blew up 2yrs ago.....the quantity and quality of his work is astounding considering all he was battling against. I think that being independent has helped him immensely I think he would have been seriously held back by the music industry had he been signed
I know ren makes a lot of songs that are about his personal life and his views on the world, but the thing i love the most about this song (and with certain other songs) is when his tone changed when he started taking about his sister. He had that sort of "emotional lump" in his throat and you can tell just how important every single word of those lyrics meant to him!
The beginning of this is spoken by Ren's friend Kit and it is from the bible Timothy 6 6-10 . His sister (Leah) lives off the grid she is all about nature and living off the land he is very proud of her and you can tell he loves her very much this was supposed to come out for her birthday but stuff happens and it was delayed most importantly he got it out. This beat is very good as well and came from a producer that reached out during the Kujo situation cause he also had a similar problem with Kujo they got to talking and Ren asked if he wanted to do a song together they are splitting it 50 /50 as kind of a F/U to Kujo at the same time lol.
It looks so great in the studio… thanks to our girl Lean G. for her suggestions and keeping you in the loop…I love her… you look so good too… thanks for a fantastic reaction…Ren is just as real as they come… lyrics that hit you straight in the soul… thank you KSO… 🫶🏻
That's the truth. Preach on Reverend KSO. We need money in our society to take care of ourselves and those important to us, but if all you care about is money, that's an issue
I think this is the most reacting you've ever done to a Ren track. you can tell you really love hip hop and that's awesome honest and genuine criticism is what we all need 😊❤
If there ever was a man to swing the pedulum of honest critique it's you Kso. I always listen, never turn off, even when there are points where I vehemently disagree with you, because there are times when what you say is so on the money it's a total revelation and I change my mind.
If you’re getting into some of Ren’s older stuff, he used to be in a band called trick the fox. They still have UA-cam videos up and there’s some original songs on there. If you get into trick the fox pay attention to how happy he looks. This is before a lot of his sickness started, and it shows how much the sickness changed him. He had a lot more useful innocence. This is around the time he actually had a signed deal with Sony.
Your finally starting to understand what we've been sayin KSO 🙌💞. For those of us who follow him, this has been his position when it comes to 💵 since he's 19 or 20. (btw, you've known his age before. We've told you and he says it in 7 sins which you've covered 2x.).Always love your truth.❤ Also, you're right that many reaction channels started after watching reactions to Ren. He has the gift to inspire which sets him apart. Something that can't be learned.
I was waiting on you to react to this song. I thought you would like it for sure. In some of your very early reactions of Ren’s music, the ones that you didn’t necessarily like, you mentioned that you like songs that tell you more about that person. This song tells you more about Ren’s story and I thought you would vibe to that.
It's a great message, and I love that it centres on what people are worth as people and the riches we get from our connections and how they are ultimately of greater value than the pursuit of money for money's sake. But he doesn't pretend money isn't a useful tool, either.
Kso I love that you are compassionate with understanding. Ren speaks the truth i love it. Everything you said about Ren in this video is true and everything Ren does i love.lol
You're a funny man. Just like the world we all exist in, you're also full of contradiction. But that adds to the charm and appeal. For someone of your age, you have wisdom beyond your years. Keep up the good work. Where's the dog gone lately?
A KSO reaction video on Saturday morning? Let’s go! Great reaction as usual. 🔥😀👍 REN’s view on money is well documented: not enough money is available for health care.
I love the line "money makes the Sick Boi sicker somehow". I think I've heard 5 or 6 different interpretations, all different than what I first thought it meant. Which means Ren has me thinking again, making me reconsider things I've long since stopped noticing. It's why I love his stuff so much. (Even the stuff that isn't my favourite).
@@onjupiter I can't remember them all... physically sicker (toll on health) sicker (like sic - amazing) sicker at the system, sicker because he feels the pull of money, sicker because everyone wants something from him, sicker because now he's getting medical help where before he was dismissed, etc. They all have a similar theme but people seem to get stuck on one path of the meaning when in fact, it means them all.
Amazing, very good. I would like to suggest the Brazilian singer Gabriel Henrique singing *Vision Of Love (acoustic version)*. The video was released on October 20th on his official channel!
This was the best reaction I’ve ever seen from you. I’m glad you were favorable towards Ren, but even more, I appreciated the depth of your insights. I’ve never really seen that side of you before, and it’s awesome.
Thank you for always being honest in your reaction and critique. Everyone is allowed their own opinions. If not, this world would be infinitely more stale. Great video as always, love the studio 😊 Much love ✌️
Great reaction, don’t forget REN’s evolvement was put on hold for so long, because he lost a lot of his 20s being stuck in a room ill, and he’s still not able to get on and do everything he’d like to. I’m in awe of everything he’s achieved despite his illness, which is far more than I have in my longer life. Who knows though, maybe in some ways it’s kept him safer from the world, seeing what happens to so many young musicians sucked into the industry’s money making machine. The man is a force to be reckoned with. Also, what’s going on with your visuals v sound lag?
Do you earn to live or do you live to earn? It's about maintaining a balance in all things that can slip into the world of wanting over needing and getting carried away with that greed.
KSO, always come to you for a straight perspective 🙏 Brother, it’s that pendulum again… is it the power money lends that excites you or is it the protection it may provide for you and yours.
wow great reaction dude! i did think you would like the style of rap ren does in this one as it has a more old skool vibe to it instead of as you say 'rens voices' hahaaa. each to their own, i like both rap styles he does but we all different and thats coooool
The thing about money is that its only bad because it strips away oportunities from people. To have money becuse you want to increase your happiness is never bad but when you cant live because you need money thats where the problem lies whether it be paying for health care, school or food
It's the intention and actions in the acquisition of money that is corruptable and must be carefully considered. Money is just a tool; neither good or evil. We have allowed our governments and societies to worship the $ and need to change the focus. Your Art behind you is beautiful by the way ❤
Me too 😂 I mean with all his experinces he'd certainly more the adult than am in the same age but I also thought for the longest time he was born closer to 1999-2000s 😂 But I guess it's really a bit of a "Blesscurse" of the Millenial Generation that we do not look (or act the age , for better or worse) the ages we actually are, at least for still/now. With all the powers preparing for even War(s) in the West who know how long we have that luxury. On the other hand being in your 30s is really not that old as you may still think, I remember times when I thought people in their 30s are "grown up" now I'm not sure if (real) "grown ups" actually exist, at least not as they've been seen portrait up till the 1970s-80s. 😉 😉 🤭
Anyone who says that they hate money is lying. Money itself is not the problem. When people put it above all else then they create a prophet of profit. When you put possessions over people you have lost sight of what is important and where the true wealth lives. Hot meals feed us but bellies full of love nourish us.
Love of money is cited as the problem, not money itself. Food is good, until you're ramming an excess of it down your throat because the tv ads tell you to. Clothes, tattoos, a car, a style - all good identity until your kids are eating crap so you can have the latest. To be anti-capitalist isn't being anti-trade or anti-commerce. Making and selling cakes is commerce. Being told you've got to grow your business, borrow to expand, until you're baking and selling to feed a bank loan - that's capitalism.
I agree with you but I like to think of it more like money is not bad because it gives opportunities but the way money is handled is not so people can have a better life but it makes you need it to live. Tldr: I would say the bigger problem isn't people using money wrong but people not having money/opportunity at all
Dear KSI I hope you and your family are well . Ren makes people with any brain cells think! He may not be the greatest rapper singer guitarist or piano player that has ever been But his words makes us all think It may not be nice and maybe introspective and takes us to dark hidden places But isn’t that what Art in its purest form is Stay safe be kind project love and it shall come back twofold
@1:00, the distinction you're making here is important, and it's one that I think is lost on people who will say that money itself is evil. Money is like any other tool, just like a hammer or a shovel. It's not good or bad by itself - what matters is how we use it. And it's okay to want more money - not just to have it, but to use it to live a better life. The key is to want money for what it lets you do, not just to see a bigger number in your bank account. Money is like a key that can open doors to opportunities. It's not about collecting keys - it's about using them to open the right doors for you and your loved ones.
I hate to say it man, im totally one of those guys. I feel like a real life NPC, I wake up, go to work, go home, play video games and watch Kso Big Dipper vids. Go to sleep, rinse repeat
And it doesn’t seem like Ren would be living in an echo chamber. Big difference between a constructive, honest critique and just being an arse for the sake of being an arse.
Eph 1 :13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Rom 3 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. v. 11 20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Rom 4:24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; :25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: Rom 5:2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 1Co 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 1Co 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 1Co 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Believe this, seek, and call upon Jesus. He will answer. God bless you all
It was temporary. Ren doesn't have Lyme anymore. He has the Co-infection called Bartonella. He was in remission the relapsed. Stress can bring this on. This is common unfortunately. 😔
To me ren never hated money but he definitely hates greed in all its forms.
I wonder if he knows greed when he sees it because most people don't. Economic illiteracy afflicts at least 80 percent of the population.
The LOVE of money is the root of all evil. Not money itself.

"What he contributed as an artist......" And to think that Hi Ren only blew up 2yrs ago.....the quantity and quality of his work is astounding considering all he was battling against. I think that being independent has helped him immensely I think he would have been seriously held back by the music industry had he been signed
I know ren makes a lot of songs that are about his personal life and his views on the world, but the thing i love the most about this song (and with certain other songs) is when his tone changed when he started taking about his sister. He had that sort of "emotional lump" in his throat and you can tell just how important every single word of those lyrics meant to him!
KSO props to you for ackowledging the contribution Ren has made to creativity on UA-cam and the reaction community.
The beginning of this is spoken by Ren's friend Kit and it is from the bible Timothy 6 6-10 . His sister (Leah) lives off the grid she is all about nature and living off the land he is very proud of her and you can tell he loves her very much this was supposed to come out for her birthday but stuff happens and it was delayed most importantly he got it out. This beat is very good as well and came from a producer that reached out during the Kujo situation cause he also had a similar problem with Kujo they got to talking and Ren asked if he wanted to do a song together they are splitting it 50 /50 as kind of a F/U to Kujo at the same time lol.
It looks so great in the studio… thanks to our girl Lean G. for her suggestions and keeping you in the loop…I love her… you look so good too… thanks for a fantastic reaction…Ren is just as real as they come… lyrics that hit you straight in the soul… thank you KSO… 🫶🏻
😘
Rens always watching 👀
he a stalker... hahahaaa
@@MalcolmMXTaylor 😆
I am glad that you are planning to check out Ren's back catalogue. Some of my favourites are "Every body drops" "Penitence" and "Heretic"
heretic = winner!!! love that song!
He's done all 3. Check them out❤
That's the truth. Preach on Reverend KSO. We need money in our society to take care of ourselves and those important to us, but if all you care about is money, that's an issue

I like your honesty kso , great reaction 🎉
KSO ... I love your reactions. You are one of the few that are completely honest about your reactions. Big love to ya fellow human.
I feel like ren is one the only real rappers left
Kso I love that you are compassionate with understanding. Ren speaks the truth i love it. Everything you said about Ren in this video is true and everything Ren does i love.lol
I adore this reaction on so many level's 🩷
"hes literally subscribed to my channel"
Thats a flex
Great Reaction. As always I enjoy the perspective, and you're wise beyond your years my friend.
Love this song, beautiful video too. Ren, old. ha ha ha ha ha 🤣 Thanks Kso,
You're a funny man. Just like the world we all exist in, you're also full of contradiction. But that adds to the charm and appeal. For someone of your age, you have wisdom beyond your years. Keep up the good work. Where's the dog gone lately?

Please check out "Baggage" Ren w/ Chris Webby
He did it on a live even though he was hesitant. He probably doesn't remember it tho😂
You're awesome, KSO :) keep up the good stuff! Love your Ren reactions, whatever you might think of the song itself
Thank you for always being honest in your reaction and critique. Everyone is allowed their own opinions. If not, this world would be infinitely more stale. Great video as always, love the studio 😊 Much love ✌️

Look at you and Ren… growing together ✊🤘❤️
Preach brother preach!!!!❤❤❤🙏

Brother, it’s that pendulum again… is it the power money lends that excites you or is it the protection it may provide for you and yours.
Castles made of Sand is the best rap song of his... IMO
I can’t count the number of reactors that completely with you and so do I!
wow great reaction dude! i did think you would like the style of rap ren does in this one as it has a more old skool vibe to it instead of as you say 'rens voices' hahaaa. each to their own, i like both rap styles he does but we all different and thats coooool
Money makes the sick Boi sicker somehow. 👍
u should react to penitence..awesome track..love ur reactions.. always real 💯..sending love n peace from the uk
Konan last night in Kingston and Bugzy Malone the Riddler and this track dropped in the same hour
Thanks!
KSO you've done so many of Ren's tracks. If you make a Playlist for him, people will go back and watch them, more likes for ya. 😊🤣
love your channel, keep going
The thing about money is that its only bad because it strips away oportunities from people.
To have money becuse you want to increase your happiness is never bad but when you cant live because you need money thats where the problem lies whether it be paying for health care, school or food
Should have put up a photo of Diddy during that intro.
It's the intention and actions in the acquisition of money that is corruptable and must be carefully considered.
Money is just a tool; neither good or evil.
We have allowed our governments and societies to worship the $ and need to change the focus.
Your Art behind you is beautiful by the way ❤
Great song!
❤❤❤
intro is pauline bible. christ is God. seek Him. Love him. He accomplished the impossible. Praise Jesus. God bless you all
Don’t you ever start to pretend you like things when you don’t 😮
I had a feeling you’d like this one 😊
Money is just a tool, Money is never the problem, Greed is the problem. Don't always agree with you Kso, but you always give your honest opinion Sir.

I want you to reaction songs it called fast life Harris j please and thank you so much
Great reaction man but stop calling me a hoe yk the real ones like before the video😂
U thinking 34 is old 😂😂
New camera looks great, but your voice is still out of sync. Maybe it’s just me.
