Part of what’s wild is that everything she’s saying is absolutely true-that’s how trauma works. Unfortunately he was dealing with a disease from a parasite, which requires much different treatment

Love your reactions! 💙💚Ren's stem cell transplant in 2016, brought him back to the land of the living. It's what allowed him to play music again. This song is mostly about the problems of the with our medical, music, and consumer industries. You are no dummy! We hear his music over and over again. You're hearing it for the 1st time and I remember you saying that lyrics aren't what you initially process in a song.

The beat on this is insane - the message, completely sane!!

Aw, don't worry, you are not a dummy! Love your reactions, always interesting and entertaining. Love your smile too. Great reaction, thank you :)

Just so your head doesn't explode (lol), Ren uses two samples, ★ЯГА" (Yaga) by KujoBeats kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r7h0q6t3vtirnX0.htmlsi=p_T_Nfn_O0KxOYBp *and* Koutev Bulgarian National Ensemble's "Bre Petrunko" (Бре Петрунко) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iJ2kfpRjz9WsZ6s.htmlsi=7vPEr0vNGIDD2YWf also, you were right about recognizing the first track, as it was sampled on "Gaspar Yanga" by D Smoke and Snoop Dogg (2020), and several other songs.

This one's an absolute favourite of mine. Love the layers of messages, love the performance aspect, love the vocals, ADORE the Bulgarian choir sample in the beat. Stem cell treatments did help Ren, once he was accurately diagnosed and found out that some people with Lyme were responding well to the procedures. But not everyone sees benefit (because Lyme and its complications fuck each person up a little differently so sometimes the damage it's done is something that doesn't respond, I guess? and I think there are unfortunately even people for whom the stem cell treatments worsen their condition, tho I don't understand the mechanism/I might be wrong). The stem cell lyric in this track is "Stem cell poster boy" because the stem cell treatment *worked* for him - he's kinda like a "model patient" case in that it helped restore him to some semblance of functional life. But I guess maybe he has some resentment about that (being held up as an exemplary case) when it *isn't* a solution for so many other people? In the videos where he's filmed himself reading the story of his illness (on his Ren Makes Stuff channel), when he talks about the doctor at that clinic, he calls him an angel (like he also does in the track he released in conjunction with the readings, "Troubles"). But at the same time, he's also very clear that the clinic later ran into problems and controversy, and that the very expensive treatments (which the doctor pro-bono'd for Ren if he agreed to blog about his experiences at the clinic - Ren was a somewhat-known chronic illness blogger within the ME/Lyme/etc online community, I guess?) didn't help everybody and some people felt misled or conned. I think to this day, the jury is out on the efficacy of it, science-wise. But there's no doubt that it brought Ren back to the land of the mostly-living, even though he still had (and still has) significant issues.

The food analogy made total sense I like when you just run with your thoughts that's what reacting is about 😊 Have faith in yourself ❤ The choir is Bulgarian but reminds me of an old horror movie...?

Love your Ren reactions, here for them 😊, Pig man is called Viktus, he's Rens homie and also raps with him on Down on the Beat another banger 😊

I LOVE the beat on this song

#Renagades #Slick!!!!

All the things Ren wished he had said to all thise doctors who told him it was all in his head. He actually had an illness that they never treated.

Ren tries to make people aware of the injustices in the world. He is not against people making money, he just doesn't agree with companies and governments that put greed above the welfare of people. Great reaction. 💜

Well, Hell Fire!! Great reaction😅 😜✌️

Shout out to Vitkus!
