    • @harleyquinn3589

      I totally respect his thoroughness and experience, but I find that I personally absorb a lot more when I'm listening properly. There's a lot to be said for respecting the narrative flow.
      And, yes I know he's a "reactor", but I definitely prefer reactors who stop the track less often, and analyse a longer, more coherent chunk of the track, instead of every single bar one by one.
      I'm just saying this, on the off chance that he respects feedback at all. Imho, 84% commentary to 16% music kills the vibe every time, no matter how good the track was before.
      Knox doing, say a 70/30 reactor to content ratio would be a dream come true of mine
      Edit: the only exception to that rule would be anyone rapping 10 syllables per second, like King ISO. But Knox doesn't react to him for some reason. Maybe too much for even him to catch, which would be fair

The thing is that his rapid mind catches so much going on in seconds from bars, cadence, switches to musical production & sound effects that if he didn't stop it as it comes up, he's going to end up leaving out so much of what he noticed even 30 seconds ago and then we miss out on the fine detail that we're here for

    Hello @KnoxHill and others!
    A detail for the line of the 'Drums of Moria' that ties it with the previous lines (not a fan of Hip-Hop but I am a fan of Ren, Tolkien and The Lord of the Rings [I have read and reread the book many times over the years], the detail is as follows: those who play the drums in Moria are the hosts of Sauron, the Dark Lord, the King of the Ring, that is, Orcs and Trolls (Trolls and Haters are a social media plague, especially in this age of cancel culture) and that unites him to the line of ying and yang because he says that he is the King of the Ring (meaning that he is light and dark alternately).
    Ying and Yang is a concept of Taoism, ancient Chinese philosophy condensed in the Tao Te Ching (attributed to Lao-Tse or Lao Tsu).
    Vik's line about the dentist and nitrous gas is a reference to a cult movie directed by Frank Oz: 'Little Shop of Horrors' (1986) and is linked to 'wanting someone else's girlfriend'.
    This track and Losing It are hyper danceable and could well be hits at any club for the benefit of DJs and dancers.
    Ren is an artist of multiple genres and mediums of expression and cannot be put in any box or given any special label. I particularly like blues, jazz, rock, soul, funk, reggae and classical music and I like Ren because he can include things from many of those genres and styles in his compositions (and also because he's an authentic and independent artist, which you don't see much these days).
    Greetings from Argentina to all.
    PS: During the 'French May' (1968) graffiti was painted on the walls of Paris with the phrase: 'Gandalf to power' because Tolkien's characters were symbols of youth rebellion and the counterculture of that time. I was shaped by the counterculture of the 60s and 70s (influenced by the Beat Generation, Pop Art, hippies and Psychedelia, etc.). Now, Ren is also talking about a 'new counterculture' and that's something I like about him too.

    Q: What genre is Ren?
    A: What is summer, spring and autumn? What is dope, and to the top it shot him?
    What is poverty? What is acknowledging a prodigy?
    What is the dichotomy of this
    good and bad anthology?
    What is lads that follow the sad path - Sickology?
    What is livin' life low, then livin' like you hit the lottery?
    This is hip-hop
    It's country, jazz and R&B
    and it's pop
    It's rock and roll
    And yeah, never will it stop
    So ain't no way you stoppin' this hip-hop, THIS IS HIP-HOP!

  • @daelra
    @daelra Před 10 měsíci +61

    Back in the early 90's, the UK's charts were full of tunes with people rapping over electronic music. Ren's love of 90's musical subcultures is really showing through here, not just hiphop. KLF, The Shamen and even super poppy stuff like Betty Boo to name some of the artists that might be recognisable rap-rave/rap-pop by the average commercial radio listener back then. Of course, there were very many much harder versions of these types of tunes in the underground clubs and raves at the time and this tune reminds me a lot of those tunes.
    Grime is kinda similar. It's it own thing now but grew out of rapping and MCing over other styles of rave tunes (this time mostly UK Garage and maybe a bit of oldschool/Jungle).
    Ren is a very worldy musician but I wonder if he ever got to listen to Hoodlum Priest who at the time was one of my favourite genre blender artists back then. I've always loved artists that just do their own thing and fuck everyone else.

    So much talent in Ren. And it's so awesome to see that he won't box himself into a genre, and just let the art and music speak for itself like a true artist. From classic rock, Ska, ballads, rap, and if he feels like it he just drops a sick House anthem. He is also super nice with the genre blending making whatever he feels like. I think that is one thing that just sets him apart from so many others, and why so many get pulled into his music and artistry. He won't be confined or boxed into a genre. It's amazing to see when someone just appreciates all types of music and how they incorporate that into their own music.

Love this new Ren track, and yes Knox there was a philosopher called Yan Ying known as Yanzi best known for the quote “The light is the left hand of darkness” and “We are all the Yin Yang of the creative process” and “To understand the nature of things we must seek the light and the shade in all living things”. I love the way Ren chops the mix and shouts out the African American origins of rap with the Zulu caps and lions. The subtle anti drugs message regards what drugs do i.e. they ruin your teeth and don’t leave you laughing. Well the others chat shit, but just end up wrapping drugs not making money from rapping bars.
    Best of all this track has such a poppin’ beat, that gets better with every play.

    Your breakdowns/reacts never fail to excite me, Knox!! Well thrilled you got to this when you must be tired after travelling back home! Hope you had a crackin' time on our beautiful Isle!
    Great to see you on Ren's Twitch stream the other night.
    Thanks for this deep-dive react. I learned a few things!
    Peace and love.

    I love watching your Ren reactions. In this musical family I see you guys as stepbrothers (in a wholesome way, not a Hub way). You're both so meticulous in how you construct and deconstruct things and appreciate what the other is trying to convey in a way the rest of us are constantly playing catch-up with. It's obvious how much you respect each others work.

  • @Shiroar
    @Shiroar Před 10 měsíci +16

    Despite having watched plenty of your reactions, when you said “free breakdown” my brain went “oooh metal breakdown??” though I obviously know it would be a lyrical/rap breakdown from you 😅
    Anyway was great to see you in Ren’s stream even though away on holiday and without your good equipment. Was a lovely 6 man bromance. I hope Cliff shows more appreciation of your pictures of cliffs going forward 😂
    As for this new track, the beat is too far away from the genres I usually listen to, but I still love the lyrics. Even if Ren has no ground to stand on when calling Vik a geek as if it’s a bad thing after he himself referenced Moria and Naruto 😂 But great to hear these two geeks have fun together like this ❤

    Every time you have to break down Ren's work, it's a guarantee that the reaction will be awesome. This was even more fun than usual. Shout out to Vik--whether it's with Ren, with Flackerz, or solo, he's going to go places, and watching it is going to be a treat. Can't wait for the next step of the photo challenge... we do all know the rules... right?

    Hell ya! your the only one who got that flip. A Don is a mafia "Boss" Yan Ying was a Chinese philosopher described as "by far the most creative thinker of the Chunqiu age" 578 - 500 BC. Ren's message in his music is very Yin Yang, which is balancing the dark and the light, good and the bad, very Hi Ren. So In summary Ren's the Boss of this game with bars of a poet/philosopher who may just as be one of the most creative artists of our time. Ren teaches us balance/love/acceptance, he spreads joy and giving us awareness and hope, all through his music .
    ((GO ON, TALK YO SH=T REN))🤣🤣
    The thing with Ren is, you can't just say he's making up words just to keep the rhyme & flow consistent.
    If we all keep listening to Ren it can be an education, increasing our knowledge of History, English literature, World events and pop culture.🤯😁😁💓.
