@richardhanney7950 Or how about Mercury, traditional but highly ineffective treatment for syphilis, aka the Great Pretender: a disease commonly misdiagnosed as mental illness. The syphilis/mercury connection, of course, has added meaning in relation to Freddie Mercury, who died of another STD that had highly ineffective treatments. That line starts with the question "Ready?" because he knows how multilayered it is. I would have to answer: No, we are not ready.

The refreshing thing with Ren when he raps is that your ears just don't have any opportunity to get bored... Sometimes they can't even keep up 😂😱 my ears are loving it, my brain is trying to keep up 😜

"Ready I'm heavy, like mercury I'm Freddie" The element mercury is heavy, Freddie was the flip 👌

"Ready, im HEAVY, im MERCURY, i'm Fraddie". The crazy part of this bar is that mercury is considered an heavy metal... is not only a shout out to Feddie.

God I loved this reaction. If you want more of rapping Ren check out , The Hunger, Genesis, definitely Losing it and Love music part 1,2,and 3. The real question when it comes to Ren is what CAN’T he do?

Bro, The Hunger going to blow your mind

Mercury is one of the most fluid materials in the world so there are quite a few takes on the "Freddie Mercury" line.🔥Track and loved the reaction 💯🇬🇧

I'm a 50 year old white man and I knew he rap rapped.. im losing it! Hunger! But damn I love his singing too.

God spilled the talent bucket when he made this one.

You wanna hear BARS - Ren “The Hunger” Styles, Bars, Flows, 🤯

I love that this was your introduction to Ren rapping!! ❤❤❤ His other stuff is gonna blow your mind! Smiled all the way through your brilliant reaction.

No superfluous words every line hits you hard. Chills as he closes his eyes because he draws you in.

LOL your faces were brilliant...loved your reaction x

Ren.. there are no words to describe his talent!!

Oh my God! I thought you've checked out some of his rap stuff! You have to check out "Losing It (Fisher Rap Retake)". Now THAT song is just full of bars Also, Genesis, Power, and The Hunger are all bangers.

I think the "Mercury" Fredy bar is deeper, and I link it to the previous reference he makes about alchemy. "Mercury" or the mercurial stage of one's inner being on the path to perfecting the soul. This guy is an absolute genius!!

I am sooo excited to watch you go down the rapping Ren rabbit hole!!! 😁 You are going to love Power, What You Want, Genesis, Losing It, and The Hunger.

The Freddy mercury bar starts with, ready im heavy, mercury like Freddy, mercury is a heavy metal.

EVERYBODY plz remember GO to Rens channel and watch this video a few of your views not just reactors so his numbers reflect properly please! We want this thing to blow up!

Ren doesn't miss. His catalog is extensive and very deep. Everything Ren does is dripping with genius.

He said he is heavy before saying he is mercury, which is a heavy metal.. 😊

Great reaction! Loved watching your expressions! Thanks for being 'ON' Ren! We want more, please! 🎉

As everyone has said, The Hunger if you want to see him rap rap. Btw, the Freddie Mercury bit: he did reference it; “I’m heavy, I’m mercury, I’m Freddie”…..Mercury is a toxic HEAVY metal…

😍 ".. I feel like I'm in a warrior's movie."

This was such a treat to watch 😂 I didn't know you hadn't heard Ren rapping. He's got bars for days 🙌🏻

And every bar has at least two layers... Ren is stacking

The Ren journey is wild. I’ve just started down the journey myself. I was watching his Twitch after the song dropped and Ren was almost in tears when he saw so many reaction videos pop up so quickly. From what I understand he is super supportive of KZread reactors. So don’t be surprised if he comments. I’m glad you sent Jess a video suggestion! It was fantastic. I agree with you, that boy can sing for real. Yep, he’s been sick with Lyme disease and auto immune issues. He’s actually getting medical treatment in Canada, not far from Jess. I love the Stranger Things demogorgon bars, with the double with Eleven. He had so many fun rhyme schemes. “I’m in your hood and I’m Robin” 😜 And I agree, the “alphabetti spaghetti” was quite clever. I think this album is going to have a lot of surprises. Ren seems really excited about it! I hope his treatment goes well so he can do some tour dates.

Ren kills everything he does. The amount of top tier music artists out of wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 doesn’t get enough recognition

Oh wow I love the fact you haven’t heard his rapping side until now! Goes to show how vast the man’s catalogue is!

OHHHH, I'm looking forward to following you through his rap repertoire. 😂 BTW, Ren posts the lyrics to all his videos in a pinned comment.

He's talking about Mercury the chemical element which is heavy.

mercury is a heavy metal so the lyric has an internal consistancy and mercury poisoning effects may being referenced as well

Yes referring to Freddy murcury but also Mercury is a heavy element " referring to table of elements"

Ah man. He does it all, extremely well! The Hunger, Genesis, Losing it, What you Want...all great rap songs by Ren! Check them all out!!

Story is Ren went almost a decade with un-diagnosed Lyme's disease. By the time it was discovered, he was full into a complete cascade of auto-immunological side effects and a heaping does of PTSD that messed up his mind. Man's been digging himself out of a deeeeep hole and it's gonna be scary when he gets his health back 100% and he can focus on his music with no distractions. Consider, this is the output of a guy with a ton of health distractions.. and it's already pure fire.

The hunger l, losing it, genesis…watch these immediately if you want to hear him rap rap.

You've got to check out his other rap stuff. Genesis and Power are two good ones as well as The Hunger.

This was so awesome to watch because you are not even ready for what he can do. Ren is a poet, plan and simple. He can do anything with words and music. He uses rap a lot as the medium, but sometimes singing, but sometimes spoken word. He composes. He makes beats. He plays guitar, bass, drums, cello,piano. He acts. Hes just insane.

I love how when Ren says "i don't feel so well" even in his song and everybody is like "omg you ok Ren!?"

What a double pleasure this reaction was with you discovering Ren’s rap side. In fact I’d say he spots on more than 50%of his tracks. Life is funny, from a couple years back is one of my favorite of the rappy Ren.

You'll love The Hunger! Get you jaw-holder ready though.. it's a 2 minutes flow-switch-flex

The Hunger. You really, really wanna listen to that one, trust.

"I turn it up to eleven, the demigorgon of oppin, the strangest thing I'm the boss when" Eleven, Demigorgon, Strangest Thing "Sweet like a spoonful of sugar, because I'm merry like poppin" Mary Poppins gives the kids a spoonful of sugar to help take medication, Ren has had to take a crap ton of meds because he's "the illest of our time" also poppin ties back to the line earlier "let's get it poppin, hot rockin" "I'm heavy, mercury, I am Freddy." Mercury is a heavy metal and its the most dangerous heavy metal. Also Freddy Mercury was also sick, though with the opposite of Ren, Ren had autoimmune where his immune system is overactive, while Freddy Mercury had HIV destroying his immune system. Freddy Mercury was also considered one of the most talented vocalists of his time.

he said "I'm heavy. Mercury. I'm Freddie" -Mercury is one of the socalled Heavy Metals in the periodic table, So thats what connected the whole thing, not just freddie Mercurys two names swiched..... :)

Hey man, if you want to hear a few more of REN’s bars, check out What You Want, Losing It, The Hunger, Genesis

this just blew me away with how much bounce there is to this track. I was not expecting this at all

Aha loved your reaction, it really did surprise you ! You're right, there is no one like Ren, he's in his own lane with no traffic. It's impossible to put him in a genre box.

Ren is the Original "Bardcore Genre Bender" The Master Bard himself ( Shakespeare ) would have understood exactly where Ren was coming from. Ren isn't just a songwriter but rather a Performance Art Master who blends music and character acting from all the styles over the last 500 years and makes it modern and relatable to all generations even if normally you may not be a fan of whatever genre he is currently performing.

Dude, you've learned Ren can rap ...now you gotta go see how he "RAP" raps! Check out *"The Hunger"* _(Short, fast and bragadocious)_ , *"Losing it"* _(Endless epic flows)_ Oh, and just for fun... *"What you want"* _(Retro, beastie-boys style, happy hiphop vibes to make you smile)_

absolutely loved this reaction. i know when i come to your channel i'm gonna get reactions from the singing angle that really appreciate good vocalists - i knew you would appreciate that side of him, and i've been loving it. to then come and get to see your reaction to his rapping.... *chef's kiss*. whether you post reactions to them or not, i echo the suggestions of the hunger, genesis (don't miss the live acoustic version), and losing it, for more of his rapping skills. have an awesome day. - oh no! i thought i was subbed to you, and either i wasn't or youtube unsubbed me, so i'm hitting that button right now. (also, i'm glad yours was the first reaction to illest of our time that i watched, because i really did love watching him blow your mind.)

Mercury is a heavy element, a planet and a person.

I learn so much from you, especially when it comes to Rap because it's not something I generally listen to. Yet there is something about how Ren raps - I want to hear what is is sharing. Really glad I did not wait to watch your reaction until after my work day. Others mentioned The Hunger - it does seem like a piece that Ren is playing, showing what he can do when he raps. You may want to have the lyrics on hand for Hunger - suggestion based on other reactions I have seen of The Hunger. Really looking forward to seeing your reaction to this as well. Ren really is a genius that takes the time to master so many music skills and then takes it to a level I have never seen before.

Oh and REN Marley is pretty damn good too haha..Make sure not to miss his group The Big Push

The Freddie Mercury flip isn't just a flip. Check it out again, he says "ready I'm heavy, like mercury, I'm freddie" And mercury is a heavy metal!

Everything Ren puts out is a perpetual introduction. All his artistic musical creations are unique just like he is… it’s exciting, like tearing open a package to see what’s inside.💞 If you notice, even the influx of his tone of voice and emphasis placed on his words kind of had a “sing/song” sound to this rap that was so cool! Also, if you want to make sure you’re getting correct lyrics, Ren provides them on his channel with his video posts. I can’t wait to see you do more reactions of “Mr. Illest of Our Time.” ❤✌️

Made me so happy to watch you find out he can rap! Great video!

I think I found the root of "The Illest" : "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" think about it "ill be the illest (till i find) the answer I'm looking for...?" like he doesn't want to be the illest if he was the greatest he would never want to stop being the greatest but he isn't claiming to be the greatest just the "illest" till he finds the answer? The answer*** he is looking for is a cure to Lyme Disease until he finds it he is the illest** of our time but he'd rather not be, he'd rather cure Lyme Disease. None of his treatments make sense there's no plan the'yre just trying stuff on him, even now in Canada there's no long term plan & goal (he said it in a video) it's all pretty much experimental. He has to study what he has seen done to him he is the pupil* (student) of his eyes travel through the light in the darkness he's been through. The cornea** (The transparent part of the eye that covers the iris and the pupil and allows light to enter the inside.) But what do you think? Blessings from Puerto Rico

Thank you for acknowledging that "ill" is used in the UK frequently to mean unwell. Other US reactors haven't made that connection and clearly ren's music is heavily influenced by his sickness. Same as his song sick boi. When he uses "ill" and "sick" he isn't just bigging himself up. He's referencing his disease and poor health

Hoollllly Sh******t dude - If you havent seen some of his other stuff where he can "Rap Rap" then you are in for a treat my friend. Cant wait to see some reactions if you step down his other rabbit hole ;) Tale of Jenny and Screech is insane Storytelling, (must watch the whole story in order) Genesis, Losing It, The Hunger, 1990's - I literally love everything this guy does. Hes a one of a kind creative genius that is such a rare rare gem.

I really enjoyed your introduction to REN’s rapping and lyrical skills. By the way, this was made one night in a Brighton squat. That takes nerve!

This is probably my favourite reaction to Ren, every single thought you had, and what you were saying was EXACTLY what was going through my head watching him, it's mind-blowing. I've loved him for such a long time and I'm so glad he's finally getting the recognition he so deserved. Great video. Subbed 😆

"Ready? I'm heavy, I'm Mercury, I am Freddy, So eat my words fill your belly" Mercury is also an element that in a very small amount is heavy.

Ren is generational....its amazing

First time on your channel- I just subd- This track is 🔥🔥🔥- REN is an artist that we seldom get these days. He is so versatile and honestly there is really nothing that he can't do. I actually have a playlist of the tracks that I really enjoy- Check out "The Hunger" "The Money Game (both parts), Sick Boi, Power, Genesis, etc.... Much love for doing the reaction.

Haha, somebody has yet to review The Hunger....You need a dedicated week of REN only to catch up. Love your Genuine reviews man.
