Jean Reinhardt (1910-1953), known by his Romani nickname Django, was a Romani-Belgian jazz guitarist and composer. Well the insane guitar talent is now explained if he's jamming Django Reinhardt in his lyrics... I think hes channeling the dude 😂

I'm so impressed with Ren's economy with language. He says so much, paints such big pictures, with the fewest words possible.

The pig comes from George Orwell’s Animal Farm. Recommended reading for those who haven’t read it already 😂❤

Maybe the one thing you missed is that in colloquial English,’ having a beef with someone’ is having a strong disagreement with someone, but ‘he grinds up his beef’ meaning that it is of no significance..

Yea! I didn't point it out (it's actually pretty common in mainstream rap too. Eminem, J Cole, Kanye West, etc have used that saying quite a bit). Now I will say, reason I didn't dive into it too much in the reaction is because right after mentioning not beefing with anyone, he went off talking about what he would do to people who beef with him, which was very visually descriptive LOL.

Then he took a break in tempo "I start ... making my mark... like Frankie Sina... tra King call me Ar... thur." Giving the internal of trucking as in moving like these two underground to begin with leaders (Rat Pack and Round Table.)

Looks like you really enjoyed this one - fun but also not without substance. Lots of dark humour and throwing back to other songs. It's such a well put together production too - the beat boxing that comes in from "Cover up the crime scene..." is easily missed because it's such a blend of sounds but is pretty amazing (and maybe fairly unique, not that I am a rap expert by any stretch)!

Filmed in ONE TAKE no camera breaks or edits. Raw art

Wow, I'm really impressed. I've never heard someone reacting, say that part of the monitization of what they're doing goes to the artist. Thank-you for sharing that. I also love the way you break down pieces and respond to them. Love it.

A beef is also a clash with another artist which makes sense for the lyrics that follow that line. Also, in way, he mocking the anti-capitalistic movement by saying right after, "society collapses, great, pump up the treble". That says to me, who cares about it, as long I can spit my rhymes.

Hey xFayze. Like Cas, nothing needed in return. I like the way you break down the schemes etc. I also like the look on your face when Ren changes it up and then up again. Quality!! If you want a suggestion, maybe have a look at 'Ren - Humble (Feat. Eden Nash)'. It's a lyric video. Slower paced with a reggae/ska vibe but he busts out the rap at times. Have a good weekend fella.

It's not just that he does hip hop really well, with rhymes, flow and bars. It's that he crafts them with cadence changes and integrates unique pop chord progressions, while hitting hard drops like a DJ. It's so creative you can't stop listening. By the way, everyone like Toblerone, so it;s easy to swallow =)_

Love your reactions and breakdowns! I feel like the “soul in my bowl” and “grind up my beef” parts could have other meanings too, like how people speak of music having soul or soul music so when he’s eating it he’s eating the soul so like he’s purposely putting soul/meaning into his music. And also in UK there’s the phrase “putting your heart and soul into it” which means to really give everything you’ve got into something you’re doing. So could also stand for that. And the “staying grounded when I grind up my beef” part - in UK (not sure if in other English speaking areas) “having a beef” with someone/something is like having an argument/problem/grudge with/against someone/something so it could symbolise “staying grounded” by grinding up his problem/issue, metaphorically swallowing it and then processing it and bringing it back out as teaching what he’s learned from this and doing it “over beats”. I’m sure that’s not what Ren meant but I love how with music, words and art it is open to each person’s individual experience of that art along with their own life experiences and perspective for interpretation and understanding and we can all have different understandings and get different things from it. … ha! I’ve written a bloody essay on soul and ground beef 😂😂 doubt anyone’s read to this part but if you have well done!

Ren is a master rapper...great reaction

Did you see him physically jump when he switched to that last "teach, streets, bleak, feet" flow? ✌🏼

Late to the party, but if you don't have an answer on the Toblerone yet, it's like how they say M&Ms melt in your mouth, not in your hands...Toblerone is a super smooth chocolate that comes in a really long bar, & once you start eating it, it's nearly impossible to stop, so it references not only him literally swallowing the flow the way someone totally eats up a whole Toblerone bar, but also, I think it applies to how his bars are so smooth & how he just swallows them up.

Disclaimer, I'm not knowledgeable enough in this but here is my thoughts anyway, lol. I think the problem that arises from capitalism, which is increasing the gap between the richest and the rest of the people, is a problem that communist regimes also face. There is no check of power in both cases. With communism, those in charge have no one who can oppose them, which can lead to the abuse of power. With capitalism, we want to believe the government will keep the richest ppl and monopolies in check, and in theory they should be able to. But those richer people and corporations actively donate into these politicians campaigns while also paying millions a year lobbying and/or slowing down the pace of of policy makers. Take cigarette companies who actively tried to say the link between smoking and cancer was made up. They slowed progress down for a decade or more. So there is no perfect solution, atleast none that we have found yet. I personally like to think a socialized version of capitalism (socialized Healthcare, housing, food) would be a cool thing to try. Maybe those have inherent problems too, but I think the bare necessities to keep a human alive should be socialized. We would get the money for this through even higher taxes, but only for the richest of rich. There are so many loopholes to get out of taxes through corporations. Solving that alone could fund so much. At the end of the day though, yes, I much rather have capitalism
