    The official video of this song by Ren is a lyric video. This was created by a fan

      @robertovasquez1538 that's your opinion. Ive been listening to music for a long time. I didn't grow up with lyric videos. You hear the lyrics not read them. Different generation my guy. I don't need to see lyrics to understand them

    • @luckyheart007
      @luckyheart007 Місяць тому +9

      Hey, to each their own guys. I think it's nice to do requests by fans 🤗 Rens lyric videos are just as much a piece of art as this visualizer. That's all I'll say. I've never seen lyric videos like he did for his Sick Boi album, which all the songs are rather dark and relate to his sickness, both physically, mental/ emotionally, and spiritually.
      And understanding how you feel about lyric videos, I'm pretty sure Ren would feel the same way if ever asked. As an artist, his video ideas are apart of his expressions as much as the song. So fun fact, I believe he only does the lyric videos when he is physically not well enough for a period of time to do actual videos. And tbh when he released his album, just staring at the album cover was boring. So he got creative with some people while he was recieving his first proper treatments in Canada after raising enough money from when he went viral with Hi Ren and they are truly awesome to watch. ✌🏼
      ( From off the top of my head, I think the only actual videos he did for that album was Hi Ren, Sick Boi part 1, and Money Game part 3 [which he had to get clearance from his docs to travel back to England for]. ***I forgot Illest of Our Time too! but tbh when I watch that one, even though he is ripped n works out, you can see it in his face, dark circles under his eyes and sunken cheeks*** So, who knows, the songs are quite emotional so he might leave them as is or he might create actual videos for them now that the stem cell treatment is working and he is getting healthier. Hence, his latest releases being one takes again )

    I am finally giving this video a chance. It isn't half bad, of course I've already watched and heard Rens first one and then his lyric video of this song. The lyric one was really good. Interesting visuals in this video, it is interesting how the images did almost make if look like what the song was about. At least I got through it. Good you did this by a viewer request. That was nice.

    This video is exceptionally well made and the filmmaker did a great job depicting the lyrics and catching mood of the song albeit all CGI and AI. I like the Ren characters he created.
    Ren's official lyric video was released months later and I personally didn't like it as much as his other lyric vids made by the same folks. Their style also gets repetitive.

    I'm sure this isn't on you, but this fan made visualizer really makes the song hit different, and not in a good way. If you have the chance, listen to it on the audio track or with his lyric video. It's lyrically brilliant. It gets better with each listen. I can't even watch the reaction with that visualizer.

      ​@@AlmostJokingPod.. but they're not subtitles...
      Look, y'all do you, boo..no one is doubting your ability to pick up lyrics quickly.. hence your channel's success.. but let me ask you a question..did you ever watch Sesame Street/Electric Company when you were a kid? And they'd have these animations where they'd do the vowels, or the 'th' sound, pictorially showing how to pronounce a word and though there were technically words to the song, it wasn't that they were spelled out, but _how_ they were animated that was the point. Now take that premise and amp it up from a silly alphabet to a level like 'Seven Sins' and you've got a freakin' masterpiece. I think that's all the RENegades are trying to say.. I mean, fellas.. it's not like we really care of you watch it or not, we've seen the darn thing a gagillion times and we'll probably see it a gagillion more. I think they just wanted you to experience it through _Ren's_ vision, and not through the interpretation of a fan, no matter how thoughtfully done. Because that's what it is, a work of creative expression.. but what you watched was not an expression of Ren..
      But again, you do you, boo..
      The RENegades are thoughtful and kind, but when it comes to perceived loyalty, they can give even the Barbs a run for their money, lol

    • @AlmostJokingPod
      @AlmostJokingPod  27 днів тому +1

      @MissyGail4eva facts lol renegades are very particular. It's all good though. We go through this every time we dive into a new artist. Fans come and tell us how we need to react and how we need to like them lol we went thru the same thing with Harry Mack and Pete and Bas. Eventually people adapt to we're not really hunting views. If that was the case we would probably just react to whatever is viral. We literally listen to our subs and whatever we do is usually voted by them. Listening to the music and deciphering bars and if we like or not is our part. Then we just move on to the next video lol we tell ppl to subscribe not cause we're chasing that because it ain't like we're going to get extra money lol it's because we want ppl with these opinions to interact and be heard. We do most of the reactions live with the subs.

    • @AlmostJokingPod
      @AlmostJokingPod  27 днів тому +1

      Damn Sesame Street takes me back lol I'm sure but i don't remember. I never was big on animations on screen or subtitles. I hate movies that i gots to read subtitles all movie. It takes me out of the immersive nature of watching something. That could be me though

    Do you guys know Rens story? You seem to be way off the mark sometimes, however i sort of enjoyed your reaction and i see where your coming from, this song would not be played at a party. I feel its a stage background painting which sets the scene for Rens life struggles and the new album theme. Every bar has to be broken down and understood. Reading Rens story or watching his interviews will put him into better context for you. Thanks for your reaction guys. Peace and love ❤ from D in the UK 🇬🇧

    • @AlmostJokingPod

    • @AlmostJokingPod
      @AlmostJokingPod  Місяць тому +1

      Yeah we've already learned about him a little bit but we rather learn via the music because he's that kind of artist honestly. He's not making club music so it's easy to learn.
      Honestly I'm trying to avoid it (dash) because i kinda want to react to it 😂

  • @DyvmSlorm

    I believe it was AI. Loved the reaction.
    While some complain you missed the point, I don't think Ren would agree. Ren often (such as the pig mask) is reticent to describe what he means, mostly because he wants it to speak to people where they are and not where he wants them to be.

    @PoliticallyPink Місяць тому +2

    I think fan art is fantastic (no pun intended!), but also, I think you should show the respect to the artist by listening to the original, not a fan's concept of the song. I highly doubt that your subscribers want you to do otherwise. I'm guessing they want you to do both--- but original first. I can't imagine any fans wanting you to watch fan art before you ever saw the original.
    But also, don't dismiss Ren's lyric videos, they're far more artistic than what we previously knew as a lyric video.

      @AlmostJokingPod  29 днів тому +1

      That's where youre wrong. The people complaining isn't the subscribers because our SUBSCRIBERS voted to watch this particular one over the lyrics video. We aren't Ren "fans". We purposely react to artist we're not fans of to number one give our genuine reaction and 2 to learn about new artist we wouldn't typically listen to. So we didn't pull this out the hat, our subscribers voted and we reacted. We do a livestream and that's where the choice come from. The people who supports us. Everybody commenting about how the lyrics video the most amazing thing isn't subbed. I could almost promise you

    Can't subscribe to someone pretending to react... You guys judge Ren after not getting 80% of his lyrics and after you keep talking during parts of the song. It's one thing to have an own opinion but if it's based on just a few punchlines that stood out you are simply being unfair and disrespectful to the artist.
