His sister is a wild, free spirit!! She is about nature and mountains and plants and life!! She lives off grid, in a caravan, in a forest, and she has the purest of souls!! Ren calls her a woodland fairy 🧚♂️
It's much more than that. The treatment Ren got in Canada wasn't successful. That was the main underlying issue. The Kujo stuff just added to it during an already gutted time. When he should have been able to Enjoy the Garden Party and awards. Ren didn't learn anything about the Kujo situation until after he was back in the UK once he completed his treatment. That was when he found out about the video being down.
Yeah for sure that - I figure there's also a tie-in to his experience with the medical industry not caring about how terrifyingly ill he was and just slapping him with whatever diagnosis & medicating him for that, all while he got worse & worse & took on permanent damage he'll never repair. So: the way medicine is currently structured too often means it's all about how "big pharma" wants it set up. Individual care-givers exist that refuse to embrace the model whole-heartedly, even though it means they have to fight against what they're told to do by The System to continue being the caregiver they are (and probably they don't make as much as another person in their same exact position does, who goes with the flow). It's leaked into countries with universal health care even, like the UK & Canada. Even when health care workers want to do what's best for a patient, however much of the time The System doesn't even let them do it (says "no, you're not allowed to give that test, it's not indicated, we have to keep costs down" etc) Money made a sick boi sicker.
As someone who went through a very different situation ( in terms of the situation itself) , but one that was also driven by unreasonably greedy people who were also directly responsible for a good part of the problem - and refusing to compromise or cooperate in any solution that was MONEYMONEYMONEY. It cost me my health. I lived on the verge of a nervous breakdown for nearly 2 years. And suffered a brain bleed.
Welcome to the exciting world of new ren music drops.... where we, as adults, can feel like we did when we were kids on christmas morning. Its always such a fun and anticipated time 🥹💜
His sister Leah is one of my favorite people on the internet. She’s cool as hell and has taught me so much about the benefits of plants and herbs. She seems like a pure soul with a wicked sense of humor like her brother.
@@itsakittytingunfortunately YT keeps deleting my comment so I'll have to write her account slightly differently. gillys wild web & put the underscore between the words
Y'all have definitely become must-see for me. The chemistry between you two, the energy you both bring, and very much appreciate your musical insight. Both of you: Shut. Up. 😊
Ren and Nayz who produced this have gone 50/50 on this track and they met because Nayz had the same problems with Kujo and was originally thinking about doing the beatdown together but Ren wanted that track to be 100% him so they come up with this which im glad because its 🔥🔥🔥
Yes!! I was hoping someone would let the guys know that the song was also about the bad experience he had with Kujo & the other guy (Nayz?), saw REN’s story & Kujo had tried to extort $$ from him as well!!! Hence the title: “Money Toes!” I’m so glad that Ten did this collab with Nayz!!! And the tribute to his little sister was so sweet… it made me cry!!! Love your reactions & I always look forward to them!! Peace & Love to all!!! 🎶 ❤
And this is another reason why I have been watching it multiple times a day. ** Aside from the fact that there’s something new that I discover or begin a dialogue about ( with myself). And the verse for his sister is just beautiful. As a mother of two boys ( 23 y.o. men ) , I hope that they have each other’s backs ( communication with the parents is one sided) .As a sister, I didn’t have a brother who was this loving and kind, thoughtful and praiseworthy; mine was a malignant narcissist who wanted me to be as miserable as he ( actually was), but acted as if he was both the victor and the victim. FOR REN- great as KBD was, THIS is what ‘he who shall not be named’ passed up IN REFUSING TO CREATE something new with a fully equitable split on EVERYTHING. Instead he chose the money grab, the money BAG. I love to see the Renegades dropping the love and kindness @nayz. No sense in dwelling on the other guy…who’s name will become forgotten soon enough.
His sister is lovely, he shared her insta and she's a real wild free spirited hippie with a very kind soul. Smart and funny like her bro! I love that in this one he makes sure his sister knows she is enough just as she is, which is all Jimmy ever wanted from his Dad in Money Game 3. Ren practices what he preaches. ❤
Oh I love your MG3 tie-in! Yes it wasn’t just a song of greed, but the need for love and acceptance that Jimmy never got from his father. Imagine what Jimmy could have accomplished if he felt loved and free to follow his own dreams. I also contrast it with Screech in the Tales. Both were born James … one had money and opportunity, the other had nothing. But money isn’t everything. Without love and a nurturing environment, they both went down tragic paths. “It’s such a shame.”
It could also reference his fist few years being misdiagnosed. A simple test could have prevented alot of agony and now he is being pumped full of pills, med tests, and someone is making money off his pain. Doctors, insurance, etc..
I'll add the fact he talks about the pharmaceutical and sometimes medical industries are profiting from peoples sickness, developing pills to hook people on instead of developing real cures. A money game that wants to continue to make profit, there's no profit in cures!
There is also the possibility of KujoBeats' greed fueling Ren to make an even sicker beat for his song to prove a point... which Kujo Beatdown absolutely had.
I really like the play on words Money Ties - Monetize. The moment I finished watching the premiere I thought "Man I can't wait for TDIP Reacts." You guy's are by far my favorite reactors.❤❤❤ I can't wait for your next Ren reaction 😂😂😂
Hello! My favorite reactors. I saw a comment on the original song that “Ren was ‘compounding a fable’” @tdip You are OFFICIALLY part of the vernacular.
Have you ever seen an artist string so many back to back to back bangers like Ren? I can only think of a few that could even be in the conversation, and they're literally icons in the industry. Can't wait to see just how far he goes.
When "Sick Boi" made Great Britain's No.1 bestselling album last October, the first person Ren called was his sister. 😊 As Chinchlla (Ren's good friend and singing partner) says in "Bounce Back" : "This whole industry's a liar . . . Fuck your genre-ah-ah . . ."
Love the Kendrick levels of pettiness. Working with a producer @Nayz who also had runnings with Kujobeats, giving the 50/50 split and masters split to him as was offerd to Kujo. Less angry than kujo beat doen but still tapping home the point 💙 Keep stepping forwards.
You are so right about your "on the shelf" comment. Raye was put on the shelf, told to make songs for Beyonce and others, had to go independent to make her break.
Lots of labels have approached Ren. He turned them all down. There's also been lots of artists who have approached him to do features and if he doesn't think they align well with him, he turns them down too. He's not selling out his principles for anyone. I think the line about money makes a sick boi sicker somehow may have to do with him working to put out more content for us (which makes him money), but then he works too hard and his illness flares up. I dunno, that's just the first thing that popped in my head when I heard that line. Fire reaction, you two. You are one of my favorite reactor channels. There's a couple that I watch consistently and you're one of them. ♥
His sister is alive and this track was supposed to drop on her birthday. last month. Shit happened health happened and everything got pushed back. Slaughterhouse has some ready to drop but life and plans can all go sideways my fam❤
I think the money makes a sick boi sicker line is a triple. Medical Industry, he has a bigger budget for his art and he’s such a deep thinker that thinking about all this affects him mentally. AWESOME reaction! You fellas as are definitely my FAVE!! Love from TEXAS❤🇺🇸
One of the things that I absolutely love about ren is he is a master of conveying meaning but still manages to write verses that gets the gears of your brain churning and yearning for understanding, that gets you thinking about what he is saying.
If you haven’t reacted to at least 70 songs , you are not close to catching up with Ren. He was almost finished with a new album before having to return to Vancouver for more treatments for his Lyme disease and autoimmune diseases.
Bob marley: "If you check what money is, then, money don't mek yah suffer, and money don't mek yah don't suffer". Hey, everthing really rests in yuh mind, yah know".
Yes! I love his social commentary ish. He is really unfiltered and authentic in a way that only an indy artist can do. I love the bravery in the subjects he raises 🥰
I think something that might be a part of it too is that when you're an artist youu want people to see your art and you want to see them appreciate it. But as an artist, most artists don't want the fame or money, they want to be able to be free to express themselves if they're true artists that care about what they create and just want the art to help others just as I'm pretty sure creating it helps him.
Just look at Prince, and the issues he had with Warner Brothers, they trying to restrict him, while he just wants to create his art, on his own terms, and in his own pace.
That line.. "if you're living just to make a living, thats all there is. and when you're dying will you die with a grin." Time is precious ❤ Don't sell your soul.
BTW, you two are doing a good job; I've seen two separate reactors reacting to your reactions; this one and 'Kujo Beat Down'. Ren's philosophy, "A Rising Tide Lifts All Ships". I think it is great how RENegades support each other. If we can grow the RENiverse, then maybe together we can help make the world a better place. God Bless!
Definitely think he is referring to the medical industry here. If people are not sick, they do not need medicine, therefore they won’t make money. If they keep people sick then it keeps their pools heated.
So Ren was part of a track by Knox Hill called "Fentanyl" between "Kujo Beatdown" and this song. Knox Hill as im sure you know as he is a fellow reactor.
Money Ties - Monetize, As he sings it feels like he's saying monetize and I think you're spot on. There's not a label out there that wouldn't love to take Ren's talent and monetize until they've bled him dry. Grateful he's independent his voice needs to be heard.
Lots of channels reacted to this one today. I chose you guys to watch first because you are so fun while also staying on topic. Can't lie. The video dedication to his sister brought tears to my eyes being the oldest of three younger sisters (one now deceased). I think there is that natural desire to want to protect them. Thanks for the all around good entertainment!
I came to your channel to hear your Ren reactions initially but I love you two. Genuine, knowledgeable and great craic. Awesome combo lads. I'm glad to be here ❤
First and foremost....the BEAT! Also, Ren is sitting down on that bench in the train then gets up and walks around while the train is moving! He is checking all the boxes!
Ren described himself as "militantly anti-greed," and he comments about the subject in many of his songs. I would suggest Crucify Your Culture for something along the same lines as this.
Yes boissss I absolutely love your reactions!! 💜💜 Edit: yeah his sister Leah is around and she's an absolute legend 🥰 and I am so happy you caught the sick boi bar!! 😂
Money is simply the metric by which we measure our ability to effect or influence change in our local environment. More money just means a greater sphere of influence.
Indeed you made it to the top of renegade reactors in no time. Insightful and hilarious. Love the Ren lore you've been building up. SHATTAP. And continue what you're doing.
The track was inspired by the Kujobeats altercation and stressed Ren out so much he had a health relapse (the workload Ren had been on, too wouldn't have helped either). I would guess his sister gave him love and inspirational words going through the shit with Kujobeats.
Love to see you guys react to a new drop…..and be able to get caught up in the excitement of a Rendrop. 💜 Love that Ren was able to wrap a powerful message into a beautiful message to his sister. His sister is such a gorgeous human.
You’re right, he’s talking about the value of money but also as if he’s advising his sister. I love that he uses the word ‘rich’ (and “treasure” in this song) which doesn’t refer to money. I must try to remember to do this myself in future. Liked your Bob Marley quote 👍 The video looks brutalist to me - concrete jungle but stylistic. Like the Sick Boi ref too, where his song was taken down cos of greed imo. Great reaction. Thanks ❤
First one!! Glad being a part of your channel journey and especially being a part of this rising tide of Rens rising... Such a woderful artist... Talking about real things, things that matter and we all can relate! Always a pleasure seeing people with music backgrounds appreciate him along with me...just a listener that fall into this rabbit hole by an algorythm... What a community to be part of ❤️ peace and love ✌🏼
Ren is an amazing soul, so pure, so full of love for everyone, so dignified and honourable. He's like a shining light in the dark, and the world is a much better place with people like him in it.
Got so excited when I saw this video got posted. Check out his songs with Chinchilla too because they sound so good together and they sing about some deep stuff.
This one made me cry the first many times I heard Money Ties to the point I've started having to forgive Ren for having such an effect on me that I cry with quite a few of his songs but I love it all 🤘🏽🔥⚡🎶❤️🔥🫶🏽
This song is to his sister who is his best friend. Ren has such wisdom and so honest definitely he is a gifted artist who is well loved and highly respected for all the right reasons. Ren is on the highest level his talent is like no other. Love both of you who really have good personalities! and wisdom!
Yeah, it's like Money Game Part 4 for me too. He directly references part 3 with the line "Let me tell you a story about a boy named..." and there might be visual links too (not sure). I think he's developing the line from parts 1 & 2 that goes "but point the mirror at ourselves, we're all part of this old money game." Another great reaction, chaps.
I'm a huge ren fan 😎. He's a lyrical genius. And he's really real ❤. Just found your channel... Hi from the mountains in the Scottish Highlands 😎✌️🏴💙
Guys you were quick on this reaction! Love your reactions, your thoughts on songs, your personalities and excitement , love it 😊❤ another important message from the genius that is Ren ✨️✨️
I knew you would love the beat too!!! Reminded me of old school Shitake too!!! This song is another one with so many different levels!!! Great reaction! (American watcher btw and you guys are my favorite reactors now fo sho!!!!) Also if you haven’t done illest of all time or right here right now retake or blind eyed you need to add those for sure!!!
I dropped a message on Ren’s page and told him to watch you guys and told him that you say he’s from Jamaica I hope he watches you we love you, and I’m so happy you reacted to this so fast yay ❤❤❤
Another reference i believe for ren with the money makes a sick boy sicker is that they refused to do the treatment he needed due to greed (the drs and insurance people caring more about greed vs actually helping people) ive seen it with my MIL. She keeps going in and out of hospital cause the drs dont want to really help her. If they help her they dont get the continued profit of her coming back. Same with ren. Cause the drs and insurance are so greedy they deny a simple test that will diagnose you and send you on your way. Instead theyd rather send you on years long goose chase to siphon the money out of you all the while the illness is destroying your body and making you sicker. Ren went through that and its heartbreaking.
8 Billion people on this gorgeous spinning dirty rock. These two make the world better... I'm still newerish to the channel but full on locked in. Good knows good. Strong knows strong. This is a good space to be in. Danke. ☮☮ *edited because i think faster than i can type.
His sister is a wild, free spirit!! She is about nature and mountains and plants and life!! She lives off grid, in a caravan, in a forest, and she has the purest of souls!! Ren calls her a woodland fairy 🧚♂️
She’s hilarious as well! 😹
@@GarnetJ And hilarious 🤣
She is amazing! Full of light, joy, and humor!
That is an interesting family. they would all be more than welcome in my city
How do yall know all this? I didn't even know he had a sister
When you have autoimmune issues, stress causes them to flare. He's been stressed with the Kujo issues. Money (greed) makes him literally sick.
Ohh I like your take on that....
True! Unfortunately many of us Ren fans know that from experience, but glad Ren knows how to pour it into his music
It's much more than that. The treatment Ren got in Canada wasn't successful. That was the main underlying issue. The Kujo stuff just added to it during an already gutted time. When he should have been able to Enjoy the Garden Party and awards. Ren didn't learn anything about the Kujo situation until after he was back in the UK once he completed his treatment. That was when he found out about the video being down.
Yeah for sure that - I figure there's also a tie-in to his experience with the medical industry not caring about how terrifyingly ill he was and just slapping him with whatever diagnosis & medicating him for that, all while he got worse & worse & took on permanent damage he'll never repair.

You guys are becoming the favorite reactors because you're so damn likeable and funny.
Big Up you every time!
100% this. They’re good value.
In many ways, Ren has a spirit like Bob Marley. He's for the people. ❤
You made a good point there

That will be an awesome day. Can't wait.
He made this for his sister leah yes shes about ❤
And she's an awesome human being too. 😀
My take on the line "money makes the SickBoi sicker somehow" is a reference to the effect kujo had on his physical and mental health. 10:04
It could also reference his fist few years being misdiagnosed. A simple test could have prevented alot of agony and now he is being pumped full of pills, med tests, and someone is making money off his pain. Doctors, insurance, etc..
I'll add the fact he talks about the pharmaceutical and sometimes medical industries are profiting from peoples sickness, developing pills to hook people on instead of developing real cures. A money game that wants to continue to make profit, there's no profit in cures!
There is also the possibility of KujoBeats' greed fueling Ren to make an even sicker beat for his song to prove a point... which Kujo Beatdown absolutely had.
Both interpretations ..and also..the song "SICK BOY" got "SICKER" right after KujoBeatDown.😲

Kujo was playing checkers while Ren is playing 4D chess ♟️
Kujo was playing that peg game that you play at Cracker Barrel. Chess still might be too complicated for him.
You are so right about your "on the shelf" comment. Raye was put on the shelf, told to make songs for Beyonce and others, had to go independent to make her break.

It’s amazing that they were both so shocked that Ren DIDN’T do a one take😂😂😂😂 he can do anything he wants for real!!!
His sister is beautiful and a free spirit. I love the way they both share their awesome eyebrow shape 😅. Fantastic reaction and song by our Sick Boi ❤
Money Ties - Monetize, As he sings it feels like he's saying monetize and I think you're spot on. There's not a label out there that wouldn't love to take Ren's talent and monetize until they've bled him dry. Grateful he's independent his voice needs to be heard.
Lots of channels reacted to this one today. I chose you guys to watch first because you are so fun while also staying on topic. Can't lie. The video dedication to his sister brought tears to my eyes being the oldest of three younger sisters (one now deceased). I think there is that natural desire to want to protect them. Thanks for the all around good entertainment!
Sending you an INSURMOUNTABLE level of love ❤️
Oldest of three here and I get the desire to want to protect. Im so sorry for your loss. Much love to you. 💜
you guys have to see Ren Live performance singing Money game ii in the the Sky Arts Awards, full room of business people from the Art Industry
One thing about Ren, he’s walking somewhere. 😂 Great reaction guys.
The boy be walking SOMEWHERE!
@@thedreadinitpodcast he’s gotta get his steps in. Man on a mission
I came to your channel to hear your Ren reactions initially but I love you two. Genuine, knowledgeable and great craic. Awesome combo lads. I'm glad to be here ❤
First and foremost....the BEAT! Also, Ren is sitting down on that bench in the train then gets up and walks around while the train is moving! He is checking all the boxes!
😂😂😂
Ren described himself as "militantly anti-greed," and he comments about the subject in many of his songs. I would suggest Crucify Your Culture for something along the same lines as this.
Glad you guys didn't wait . Hope ya'll are having a blessed day
Yes boissss I absolutely love your reactions!! 💜💜
Edit: yeah his sister Leah is around and she's an absolute legend 🥰 and I am so happy you caught the sick boi bar!! 😂
Money is simply the metric by which we measure our ability to effect or influence change in our local environment. More money just means a greater sphere of influence.
Indeed you made it to the top of renegade reactors in no time. Insightful and hilarious. Love the Ren lore you've been building up.
SHATTAP. And continue what you're doing.
I love how with Ren... every other song he does its like "THIS is the most impactful song if our time.... wait, no, THIS is the most impactful song."
You know the beat is sick when my man still bopping after the tune has finished 😂 glad you both found the gem in the rubble that is renathy
Wisdom is greater than money.
When you have money you have to protect it, but when you have wisdom it protects you.
The track was inspired by the Kujobeats altercation and stressed Ren out so much he had a health relapse (the workload Ren had been on, too wouldn't have helped either). I would guess his sister gave him love and inspirational words going through the shit with Kujobeats.
Love to see you guys react to a new drop…..and be able to get caught up in the excitement of a Rendrop. 💜
Love that Ren was able to wrap a powerful message into a beautiful message to his sister. His sister is such a gorgeous human.
Yes guys , quick on the draw ❤ love it..... They like to mold artists into the norm. They can SHATTAP
You’re right, he’s talking about the value of money but also as if he’s advising his sister. I love that he uses the word ‘rich’ (and “treasure” in this song) which doesn’t refer to money. I must try to remember to do this myself in future.
Liked your Bob Marley quote 👍 The video looks brutalist to me - concrete jungle but stylistic. Like the Sick Boi ref too, where his song was taken down cos of greed imo. Great reaction. Thanks ❤
My guy got that Liverpool top on 👏 yes now! From a scouser born and bred in Liverpool you have my respect 🙌
#YNWA #REDORDEAD 🔥🔥🔥
He is epic. This song is one of my all time favorites. It’s actually tied to the Kujo Beat Down. It’s the nice reaction to that greed. 💙💙💙
I need to see ren sat there with you guys pronto. I bet he loves yall. Thanks for the reaction guys thoroughly enjoyed it as per . 🔥🔥💙
First one!! Glad being a part of your channel journey and especially being a part of this rising tide of Rens rising... Such a woderful artist... Talking about real things, things that matter and we all can relate! Always a pleasure seeing people with music backgrounds appreciate him along with me...just a listener that fall into this rabbit hole by an algorythm... What a community to be part of ❤️ peace and love ✌🏼
Quality reaction boys as usual. And Liverpool fans too, big up yo,self.
'No People No Prophet'

He is just next next next level!
Love your Reactions, Interactions, and Laughter! ♡😁♡
Ren is an amazing soul, so pure, so full of love for everyone, so dignified and honourable. He's like a shining light in the dark, and the world is a much better place with people like him in it.
Not missed and you’ve barely scratched the surface 🫡🔥
Got so excited when I saw this video got posted. Check out his songs with Chinchilla too because they sound so good together and they sing about some deep stuff.
This one made me cry the first many times I heard Money Ties to the point I've started having to forgive Ren for having such an effect on me that I cry with quite a few of his songs but I love it all
🤘🏽🔥⚡🎶❤️🔥🫶🏽
This song is to his sister who is his best friend. Ren has such wisdom and so honest definitely he is a gifted artist who is well loved and highly respected for all the right reasons. Ren is on the highest level his talent is like no other. Love both of you who really have good personalities! and wisdom!
Yeah, it's like Money Game Part 4 for me too. He directly references part 3 with the line "Let me tell you a story about a boy named..." and there might be visual links too (not sure). I think he's developing the line from parts 1 & 2 that goes "but point the mirror at ourselves, we're all part of this old money game." Another great reaction, chaps.
Yep - he's doing it all in this one (except playing the guitar). His sister is still about - lovely tribute to her.
I'm a huge ren fan 😎. He's a lyrical genius. And he's really real ❤. Just found your channel... Hi from the mountains in the Scottish Highlands 😎✌️🏴💙
when ren gets back on his feet, you guys should invite him to your podcast.
Guys you were quick on this reaction! Love your reactions, your thoughts on songs, your personalities and excitement , love it 😊❤ another important message from the genius that is Ren ✨️✨️
15:41 now think waaaay back to Sick Boi... "Record label meetings that commodify your gift boi..."
"Money makes the sick boi sicker somehow." The more Ren exerts himself, the sicker he can become.
I was 18 in 1996… old school beats are my jam! Ren never misses.
I can't emphasize enough how much I love this song's message. Speak the truth, brother!
5:53 very well said brother! It’s when the money becomes the goal not just the means to achieve it.
I knew you would love the beat too!!! Reminded me of old school Shitake too!!! This song is another one with so many different levels!!! Great reaction! (American watcher btw and you guys are my favorite reactors now fo sho!!!!)
Also if you haven’t done illest of all time or right here right now retake or blind eyed you need to add those for sure!!!
Never a truer word…gagging to sign him..lining up around the block! STAY INDEPENDENT REN…
I dropped a message on Ren’s page and told him to watch you guys and told him that you say he’s from Jamaica I hope he watches you we love you, and I’m so happy you reacted to this so fast yay ❤❤❤
Another reference i believe for ren with the money makes a sick boy sicker is that they refused to do the treatment he needed due to greed (the drs and insurance people caring more about greed vs actually helping people) ive seen it with my MIL. She keeps going in and out of hospital cause the drs dont want to really help her. If they help her they dont get the continued profit of her coming back. Same with ren. Cause the drs and insurance are so greedy they deny a simple test that will diagnose you and send you on your way. Instead theyd rather send you on years long goose chase to siphon the money out of you all the while the illness is destroying your body and making you sicker. Ren went through that and its heartbreaking.
You guys are definitely my top favorite reactors now for Ren reactions!! Always waiting for a Ren drop from you all! Love from the states!
Love your reactions. ❤ I really appreciate your thoughtful considerations on the lyrical breakdowns.
Thank you so much 😄
Nice to see you support the best footie team! Ynwa!!!!!
8 Billion people on this gorgeous spinning dirty rock. These two make the world better...
I'm still newerish to the channel but full on locked in. Good knows good. Strong knows strong. This is a good space to be in. Danke. ☮☮ *edited because i think faster than i can type.
Your reaction was my first look too and I was as blown away as you guys. He deadass never misses!
Yess boys with the early react! I'm a happy woman today ❤❤
Ren doesn't miss, and I never want to miss your reaction to him! Another great one, guys, thank you
