that Freddy Mercury bit is really nice. He says, "I'm heavy, Mercury, I am Freddy." So he's heavy, bc he's a badass, then Mercury, as an element, is a heavy metal, and is the most toxic of the heavy metals. So it will make you extremely Ill, and then he puts a bow on it with the Freddy Mercury reference. 🤘

This makes me wonder if he heard the murmurs about "Hi Ren" being the new "Bohemian Rhapsody" before he wrote that verse.

Also, he'd also earlier said he was Freddie Krueger, so it also refers back to that, as there are other Krueger references through the song (4,5,6 spit a crucifix etc).

It's 'I'm heavy, on Mercury, I'm Freddy.' Which adds a bit more to the meaning, I think. Mercury is the smallest planet, and he's heavy even in it's weak gravity. Also, mercury, heavy metal, and Mercury, Freddy. Fucking brilliant multilayered wordplay.

The iron lung was a machine that helped someone breathe when their lungs failed or had a disease. He's saying he's blessed with a silver tongue (clever bars) but he's literally sick (with Lyme disease).

Yes iron lungs were hyperbaric chambers that kept people with tuberculosis alive. They used to call it “ the consumption “ Tuberculosis.” Took over 1.7 million lives.

Pure bars, flowswitches and golden messages. He came in swinging with this one 🤯🤯🤯

Great reaction! You caught the Stanger Things bars...nerd rap at its finest!!

Great reaction and new sub earned! Ren is swinging like Tyson, biting like like a python (and Tyson ;-) Ren is laying down the bars, switching flows like a river bend and hiding Easter eggs for all his fans. Lyricism through the freakng roof. Witness the RENaissance, RENegades Rise!

& Left Right'n (throwing punches) - Left Writing (writing punchlines)

Not one superfluous word every line hits you hard. Chills as he closes his eyes because he draws you in.

His lyrical use of double entendres is amazing, "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 yesterday (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. 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.

'Losing It' by Ren... have you reacted to that?.. Rappin like a.. in that one, soooo good.

Loving these reactions!❤ ty for supporting ren and his work.😊

Great reactions, thanks. Love the beat and flow switches on this, he’s so unique ❤

Im loving your Ren reactions!! Haha you are so cool.

The iron lung reference makes me think of Polio patients.

A iron lung is also a medical device designed to help patients who can't breathe for themselves due to for example paralysis. Great reaction! 🖤

🔥🔥 breakdown and reaction!

Greetings from Canada brother , nice work

Was straight on my playlist!!! 🔥💕🔥

What a reaction awesome bro glad your enjoying our British music 🔥🔥🔥🔥

My fav too!! I don't know why. I felt bad ass vibes or something. I smiled when you wanted the violence too! 😂 Ty for your reaction

You are really good at this.

Most songs refer to other songs, characters and Swanton bomb he used in Losing It. Slams you into the ground 😁👊🔥🔥

First.. MINT Vegeta on your wall mate!!! Thanks for the reaction loved it, I’ll be checking out some of your music too after hearing the intro.. VERY LIT 🔥

You've got a really intellectual breakdown and I know you would love Ren - Genesis! Great vid

His writing is so dense. I am in constant shock at his musicianship lyrics diversity and production. Dude is a straight murderer

This one was embedded in my mind since it came out. The soundtrack of my dreams and it's one of my favourite songs ❤ one of the little bars I love and most miss is "I'm a sick little puppy who gets lucky when he speaks" - most people name their puppy Lucky! Double meaning in every line tbh ❤

Tyson.... Bitin'... Like a python 😮 So good !!!!❤

Can't believe I missed the Robin Hood line, you're the only person who's pointed it out to me 😅

He refers to the Swanton Bomb in a few tracks. The first time he met one of his best friends, Joe, he did a swanton bomb on the ground and Ren was shocked but he popped back up grinning. Joe is the friend who committed suicide when they were young and his death had a very serious impact on Ren as it would of course. The Suic*de track honestly is a work of art

Have you done the Big Push ? If not your missing out it’s RENs band

It's not quite got the high-budget video, but as far as bars, I think my favourite is "Life is Funny". It just strikes the right balance between philosophy and brutal bars switch-up towards the end.

Swanton bombs pop up often…I think it’s a tribute to Joe, he was flipping Swanton bombs when they met 😊 Ren mentioned it in his comment on the Suic!de video 😢

Looking into the corner of the cornea of my mind. …Eyes are literally part of the brain.

I'm here for the violence! 🤣🤣🤣 Great Reaction!

Straight bars !!!

It is spinal tap. Turning the amp up to 11. Classic spoof comedy. Mad Rock band. The drummer blown up many times.

Ill. Sick. Tick bite. Mental health. Illest... of out time. Sick Boi.... And the whole thing is a send up of Clockwork Orange? Even better

So far I've never heard anyone mention the obvious "Spinal Tap" reference: "turn it up to 11". This was also a "Stranger Things" reference. Double entendre almost certainly intended.

Preach.

Ren is a musical freak. Talent on top of talent. I'm sorry he had and has mental and physical difficulties. But his music wouldn't be NEXT LEVEL without the battles. Soooo good

He is an amazing artist !

Turn it up to 11 is a Spinal Tap reference. This track is 🔥🔥🔥 The Swanton Bomb showed up in Losing It, which is just a hair better than The Hunger, tho Hunger is my fave because I just really love the flows he goes through. This one... just might be the Illest of Ren.

Yeah Ren can rap rap! One of my favourites of his 🖤

Of all the reactions to this you've been the quickest to pick up the stranger things nod, even quick than Knox lol

U missed one neardy bar. Eleven in stranger things. But turning up the speaker to eleven is from a really funny pseudo documentary called this is spinal tap.

Digging this... ya gotta do Genesis and Power! He's Blowing up the scene!

So glad I found your channel! I, too, go crazy for nerd bars!! I hope you’ve checked out down on the beat! There’s so many amazing nerd bars in there I nerdgasmed! 😂

i think he uses the Swanton bars alot as a little honor of his best friend that he lost cause the first time he meet him he did a swanton bomb thats what i think

"Turn it up to 11"-"The demigorgan of opping".. is a double nerd point because of spinal tap

Turn it up to 11 is originally from This is Spinal Tap believe

🔥🔥🔥

Turn it up to 11 is from spinal tap so it’s a reference to spinal tap and stranger things

Dope

Hi Ren introduced the world to Ren. Illest Of Our Time let the world know he's here to stay.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻…❤REN!!!🎉

I heard that little beat at the beginning saw the check out our music, my first thought was they're using Ren reactions to promote themselves? Cool... As in that looks dope and I think this is exactly the sort of thing Ren would like too. Having people find other musicians and all being exposed to more artists supporting each other. Also you have a Vegeta poster in the back ground I'm obligated to check out all your stuff.

You seemed to miss most of the rap over the fight scene, which is a shame. It's my favourite part of the track, with some beautiful poetic rap and clever wordplay. That's one of the problems with videos I suppose. They can be a distraction, rather than a focus. Don't get me wrong, I love the video as well and I enjoyed your reaction! :)

He has made me like rap lol

Just to help you a little. When he says "music for the hooligans who live on the estate" Hooligans = hoodlum and "estate" = neighborhood.

Double rntedre illest also because he is sick. I live the beat and changes here. Also...he's hot!😂

Ren is a big nerd. He loves a lot of Science Fiction, gaming, etc.

"Illest of our time" unofficial lyrics.... yeah I'm that sad I spent an hour going over & over typing them out for you 1, 2 , 3, spitting bullets on the beat, I’m a sick little puppy who get’s 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 inside the mind of the illest of our time, Get it boppin hot rockin, I’m Freddy Kruger, I’m choppin, I turn it up to (elle-heaven) 11, The demigorgon of oppin, The strangest thing I’m the boss when, the danger lingers, I’m plotting, Sweet like a spoonful of sugar, Because I’m Mary like Poppins, The double barrell is cocking, A shotgun shell to the noggin (head) I’m crafting catchy bronchitis, You’re in your funeral coffin/coughin, No stopping, blocking me, not when I pick the world up, I’m squatting, And when I take from the rich, I’m in your hood & I’m Robin/Robbing 4, 5, 6, Better Crucifix/Cruise a fix, 666 flow, Crucify a Catholic, Maverick, anti-hero, villain or protagonist, words are kind of muffled, when you’re sucking on my massive ughhh… Who’s the fucking illest, who’s the realist, 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? Or Chemical Combustion? I’m the analyst, Of metaphors and similes and synonyms, An alchemist, Evangelist, Spread the words I seek, like they’re cancerous, Pragmatist, I think before I speak, Then I answer it, Pull up, pull up, pull up to the place, when I pull it bang, my bullet sang, it’s shot right into space, Music for the hooligans, let loose on the estate, Call the police & the riot vans, the people wanna play, ay.. Freedom now, has lost all meaning how, can we all be free, in the hierarchy breeding ground, The poor get poorer while, The rich get rich in style, I’ll 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’ve shown, Bars a cellular phone, Hyping, like Tyson, an Icon, roll twice and Left righting, I’m striking, like I’m biting, Like a python, Ready, I’m heavy, I’m mercury, I am Freddie, So eat my words, fill your belly, like alphabetty spaghetti, I am a rap star, don’t believe me? the facts are, I spit fast like a Nascar, Don’t believe me? Then fuck yaaah, I- -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 go wrong, hit by King Kong, a Swanton Bomb like Hardy Brothers, I don’t feel so fresh my bro, things look blurry, speaking slow, Heading Hong Kong, Wonton Soup is, what I have for brains I know- -That I, want to spread these tattered wings- and hold them high, banished from the Heavens, but I’m knocking on the sky, Living with depression is a blessin in disguise, never second guessing intuition, getting wise, Want (one to) to sink into the pupil of my eye, Travel to the corner of my cornea & mind, Look for all the answers that I never seem to find, Till then, I guess I’m still the “Illest of our time”

I personally feel that it's way too accurate timing wise. I prefer a ltitle play with the timing. I may be biased but prefer techique over punchlines. I just don't get Ren. He's fast, his punchlines are strong but his delivery is robotic imo.

So outta reach the type to kill a passavist . Past a fist. Out of reach . Ffs
