      Glad to see this comment.... Chief... You be you.... That is why we are here. You are real and your excitement is contagious. My opinion is that the folks that don't want any pauses need to go to the original and watch it a couple of times straight through before they start checking out reactions. That's the point of the reactions.... right? I am at a stage of life and in the situation where I don't have anyone to share the excitement of these discoveries with. It was no one even remotely in the realm of the things that I have been checking out and learning about especially since discovering Ren. The musical world is opened again. If you'd asked me a few months ago I would have never ever believed that I would be listening to anything sounded even close to rap. My mind has been opened and you guys being there to give your opinions and validates my excitement over the same kind of thing is life-changing. I'm hoping to share a video that's on Facebook on Ren's Facebook page. The day this dropped and he was online with everybody. He got so emotional when he googled the song named just to see what was happening and saw page after page of reactions already out there. He was overwhelmed and had to stop video for a second to compose himself. Tears of happiness.... His words.

    Posted by Ren on his community page:
    "Overhwlemed by the amount of support for illest Of Our Time. Have been loving watching all the reaction videos and hearing everyone's interpretation. I never usually break down my own words because I love letting people apply their own meaning, but there was one line I wanted to explain. The title of the song. Alot of people took this to mean "The greatest Of Our Time"
    "Look for all the answers that I never seem to find,
    Till then I guess I'm still the illest of our time"
    Its my reluctance to be the illest - the clue is in the word 'guess' - ive spent the better part of a decade looking for solutions to the damage lyme disease dealt with countless doctors visits, and am still in that boat. "Illest" can also mean "dopest" "best" etc. So it's a bit of a double entendre. Same as "Sick boi"
    This theme is repeated with the line "elementary dear Watson you might find" cause Sherlock Holmes was always searching for the clues to piece the puzzle together, which is very relatable when trying to piece together parts of a very complex health picture, anyone with a very complex illness will relate to almost having to become your own detective.
    And finally
    "A pathologic entity -
    if everything is set in stone then this is how its meant to be"
    Acceptance that this might just be the cards I've been dealt.
    To search for answers and simultaneously accept that chronic illnest may be your fate is a bit of a paradox because it is the rejection of acceptance that spurs you forward in the persuit of answers, but it is the acceptance that you may always be sick that let's you lead a more peaceful life... so one must walk this contradictory line between both opposing states to have the motivation to find the answers whilst not being so outcome dependent. Still haven't mastered this, but think it's an interesting concept" posted by Ren Gill (The Illest of the Ill)
    Me: To me it's like Ren is psyching himself up to get bigger, how much bigger? Big enough to have the power to create a standardized treatment for Lyme Disease & an early detection system... hyuge you gotta be hyuge. That takes millions upon millions upon millions of dollars, but Ren ain't rich never has been most of the money goes to medicine. Some of the reactors have more subscribers than he does. that's why he feels like Atlas sometimes maybe like the weight of the medical world is on his shoulders but he can't shrug it off.

  • @kennethmichael5404

    His lyrical use of double entendres is amazing, "I'm ready I'm heavy, I’m Mercury, I am Freddy,..." Mercury being a HEAVY metal, Freddy Mercury....😵‍💫 C'MON! Even the title is a double entendre - "Illest of our Time". He's firing warning shots in this one and making sure everyone takes notice. Nice to see him showing some attitude and confidence, being a little braggadocious. I Love it.
    He did a live stream right after the video dropped (on Twitch), and to see his genuine, emotional reaction to how many reaction channels had already posted videos within an hour of the songs release, was truly heartwarming. He shows his soul. This young man deserves every bit of love , support, and success he's finally getting. I couldn't be happier for him, especially for someone so talented, so driven, and without question, someone who has been forged through fire. Love this kid! Fan for life.

    Welcome to the madness that is Ren's mind underlined by a beat that makes you feel The Prodigy made a baby with the theme song from Knight Rider 🤣 I absolutely frocking love this track. It's especially good seeing you back reacting with a smile on your face, Chief 🫶🏻

    • @blackberrystag
      @blackberrystag Před rokem +2

      Yes! I got Knight Rider, the old video games he's mentioned, and..... 80s horror movies. I can't think of the one specifically, but at the part where he mentions Freddy Krueger, it definitely sounded like one of those background tracks in the 80s used to increase anticipation. (To be fair, I was like six when my mom was into those, so I'm amazed I remember anything about them)

    I would highly suggest reacting to Ren’s love music parts 1, 2 & 3 back to back. It is a really good way of understanding and confirming the man’s total genius not just as a rap artist but as a musical artist in general. The guy can do it all and his talents as a producer, a well rounded musician, a songwriter, a vocalist and a performer seems to be endless.

  • @nadjahlover
    @nadjahlover Před rokem +11

    As always here are the lyrics for anyone who wants them!
    One two three
    Spitting bullets on the beat
    I'm a sick little puppy
    Who gets lucky when he speaks
    Blessed with a silver tongue
    Chest with an iron lung
    Extra terrestrial, tentacles, alien
    Psychopathic tendencies
    A pathologic entity
    If everything is set in stone
    Then this is how it's meant to be
    Elementary dear Watson, you might find
    Yourself in side the mind of the illest of our time
    Lets get it Popping, Hot rocking,
    Im Freddy Kruger, I’m chopping,
    I turn it up to eleven, the Demigorgon of Oppin
    The strangest thing I’m the boss when
    The danger - lingers I’m plotting
    Sweet like a spoon full of sugar
    Because Im Mary like Poppins
    The double barrel is cocking
    A shotgun shell to the noggin
    Im coughing catchy bronchitis
    Your in your funeral coffin
    No blocking, stoping me not when
    I pick the world up - I’m squatting
    And when I take from the rich
    i’m in your hood and Im Robbin
    Four, five, six, spit a crucifix
    Six six six flow, crucify a catholic
    Maverick, anti-hero ,villain not protagonist
    Words are kind of muffled when you’re sucking on my massive…
    Who’s the fucking illest, who’s the realest, who’s the baddest kid?
    Call the police on this beat before I damage it
    A kiddie called screech on the streets I’m a masochist,
    So far from reach, I’m the type to kill a pacifist
    Catalyst for chemical combustion I’m the analyst
    Of metaphors and similes and synonyms an alchemist
    Evangelist - spread the words I speak like they’re cancerous
    Pragmatist - think before I speak then I answer it
    Pull up, pull up, pull up to the place
    When I pull it, bang, a bullet sang, it shot right into space
    Music for the hooligans let loose on the estate,
    call the police and the riot vans the people want to play, hey!
    Freedom now, has lost all meaning, how
    can we all be free in a hierarchic breeding ground
    The poor get poorer while
    The rich get rich in style
    Ill be a heretic, kill a king, take his crown
    Top of the throne, top of the kingdom I own, top of the streets that I roam
    top of the dome, spitting for britain I show em bars like a cellular phone
    Hyping like Tyson, an icon, go twice in,
    left, right in, I’m striking like I’m biting like a python
    Ready? I’m heavy, I’m Mercury, I am Freddy,
    So eat my words fill your belly
    Like alphabet spaghetti
    I am a rap star
    Don’t believe me the facts are
    I spit fast like I’m nascar
    Don’t believe me?
    Then fuck ya,
    ah shit
    I don’t feel so well
    I don’t feel so well
    I don’t feel so well
    Call a medic for myself
    I don’t feel so hot my brother
    Aching, shaking, stop then stutter
    Things gone wrong
    Hit by king king kong
    A Swan-ton bomb like Hardy Brothers
    I don't feel so fresh my bro
    Things get slurry speaking slow
    Head in Hong Kong wonton soup
    Is what I have for Brains I know
    That I want to spread these tattered wings hold them high
    Banished from the heavens but Im knocking on the sky
    Living with depression is a blessing in disguise
    Never second guessing, intuition getting wise
    Want to sink into the pupil of my eye
    Travel to the corner of my cornea and mind
    Look for all the answers that I never seem to find
    Till then I guess I’m still the illest of our time

    You are correct this is all Ren vs Ren that's why at the beginning he says we're going into his mind all these battles are in his head. it's like he's standing more confidently against his self doubt. you should check out "Genesis" by Ren the bars are good in Genesis & he made that beat too.

    This may sound strange, but I hope it makes sense…As I am just discovering Ren, I find that I only feel “safe” watching some of Ren’s songs first through watching your reaction to the song and allowing myself to actually feel, react, as well. Your vulnerability makes me feel not alone in the feelings and makes me feel safe to feel whatever is stirred up. That’s a compliment…though I’m not sure I explained it in a way anyone can understand. Thank you for being you!

It's as though he has become part of life now, a part we didn't know we were missing but suddenly discover and it's magical.

Tell about their mental history and how they feel helped by Ren's music. One guy even told that three days before he had considered suicide, instead 'Hi Ren' had saved his life. He reaches out to people in a phenomenal way and to me as well. You reach out as well and I find it very honest and positive. Ren thinks so too. ;) Keep up the spirit, brother!

    Now, coming back to REN, I don't know how much you have already heard from his catalogue but, f*ck me dead, Ren can rap rap! I'm so happy to hear you are going to do vid on Money Game 1 and 2. You will love it! And if you haven't listened to them yet, you check out: Hunger (fckin hell!), Genesis , and I'm losing it (Fcking hell, again!) for more bars. Or better yet watch and react! :D
    I'm guessing that 'the other Chinchilla one' you mentioned is 'How to be me'? oh man... this one hits hard (especially if you know who Ren wrote it for)! Same with 'CRUTCH' from Ren's much earlier days - beautiful but you gonna need tissues!
    Last thing. Idk, maybe it's just me but I could hear some weird 'whoosh' sound (static, perhaps) every time you spoke (but not during pauses)... or as if your mic was collecting some background noise... Not terrible, but audible. Hope it was just my laptop, but I thought I would feed it back to you, in case it's not.

    I've not been this excited about an artist since I first heard Led Zeppelin in the '70's. He's so consistently excellent and it astounds me.
    Great reaction as always, Chief. Been waiting for you. I don't pick favorites of anything, but you are absolutely one of the few reactors I look for. Forgive me for only checking your Ren reactions, but at this moment in my life, Ren is providing feelings I haven't felt in over 40 years and I'm a bit addicted.
    Insofar as Ren recommendations? My advice is to go to his channel and randomly pick one. It'll be a banger.

    This has a crazy beat and lots of references to his catalogue of work and get chills as he closes his eyes because he has drawn me in.

    That was really sweet at the end. I originally found you watching Polyphia reactions, but have been enjoying you watch Ren. Here’s what he said about the song:
    Overhwlemed by the amount of support for illest Of Our Time. Have been loving watching all the reaction videos and hearing everyone's interpretation. I never usually break down my own words because I love letting people apply their own meaning, but there was one line I wanted to explain. The title of the song. Alot of people took this to mean "The greatest Of Our Time"
    "Look for all the answers that I never seem to find,
    Till then I guess I'm still the illest of our time"
    Its my reluctance to be the illest - the clue is in the word 'guess' - ive spent the better part of a decade looking for solutions to the damage lyme disease dealt with countless doctors visits, and am still in that boat. "Illest" can also mean "dopest" "best" etc. So it's a bit of a double entendre. Same as "Sick boi"
    This theme is repeated with the line "elementary dear Watson you might find" cause Sherlock Holmes was always searching for the clues to piece the puzzle together, which is very relatable when trying to piece together parts of a very complex health picture, anyone with a very complex illness will relate to almost having to become your own detective.
    And finally
    "A pathologic entity -
    if eveything is set in stone then this is how its meant to be"
    Acceptance that this might just be the cards I've been dealt.
    To search for answers and simultaneously accept that chronic illnest may be your fate is a bit of a paradox because it is the rejection of acceptance that spurs you forward in the persuit of answers, but it is the acceptance that you may always be sick that let's you lead a more peaceful life... so one must walk this contradictory line between both opposing states to have the motivation to find the answers whilst not being so outcome dependent. Still haven't mastered this, but think it's an interesting concept

    Dear Lord...You are just a delightful human. You have the most lovely, gentle voice. I could listen to you "waffle" all day.
    Your reactions feel uniquely authentic...and you are one of very few who have picked up on the fact that this song wasn't really about braggadocio. It was about him actually being unwell with autoimmunity, seeking solutions and not finding them.
    You have a new subscriber and I have a new crush, apparently.

  • @zackbryans4982
    @zackbryans4982 Před rokem

    To me, art is about emotion, expression, and connections. Most music today is not art, it's just music, and that's okay for most people. Ren doesn't just make music, Ren makes art. He's able to use his talents to express himself in a truly exceptional and unique way.

    Ren and his peeps are my support system in an extremely difficult time of my life. I’m in the rare disease fellowship of the rings. In my final stages and still every doctor has no clue. My story is almost exactly the same as his. Got a few more tests to do and I’m done but this all gives me a glimmer of hope at a time I needed it most.

    What is left to say? Many words have been spoken and written about this man and his art. I listen to an album of his new age classical instrumentals this morning… early compositions apparently and so very good took me away for a few hours. What next? Who knows and that’s the joy of it.
    Thanks for a very cool reaction ‘structured chaos’ is a good description…and then you start to figure out what he is saying and how he is saying it and… he just freaks me out in a good way. I’ll shut up now❤

    P.s. also loving the new intro and set up! Forest fam! Peace and love
