The thing I love about the kombucha line that I haven't seen anyone mention yet is how it ties back to him butchering the culture. You need a culture (bacteria and yeast) to brew it. So he's not brewing it up because he's got no culture. And props to you being the only one who really understood the Of Mice and Men reference. I love how intelligent and educated both you and Ren are.

A few things to add: the bagpipes are traditionally played at the start and end of royal proclamations.

He's like top of the tier. I'm smart enough, but OMG I feel like a stumbling toddler trying to learn trigonometry. I can dive in and feel and learn and even relate to so many levels (pain, depression, misdiagnosis, suicide survivor and lost friends, medication game, dv survivor is a few of my connections...) but I doubt I'll ever be able to grasp them all. But I can feel and absolutely feel less alone and less broken. He's reaching all ages and all demographics.

Ren is so gifted. Even if Dotta continues to try and build his numbers with diss rap, there is zero way he will get support if he goes after Ren again, and it would be career suicide if he did. Especially where Ren just offered him a hand up. If Dotta wants to rise, he now has a fork in the road and can choose which path to take, something rarely offered in the game of rap; Dotta can choose diss (or hate) rap, or encouragement, hope, rap. This is Ren's world and people are hungry for it.

@DanKaschel 8 ай бұрын

I think this misses the point a little bit. Neither Ren nor Knox were trying to discredit diss rap as an art form. If they did, then they would be hypocrites. Dotta’s choice is (was) to capitalize on this opportunity (and behave respectfully under this new scrutiny) or just be bitter about being bested.

He played the game, excelled at it, and then pulled it all back into his own way, organically. It's a masterclass imo. The end might not be completely in the "spirit of Battle rap" but imo actually questioning that and flipping it into his spirit/beliefs just is *chef's kiss*.

And that line is from Love Music Part 1, one of the oldest tracks in his catalog -- Ren wrote that when he was TWENTY, if not before! This was his character long before he ever got his recent success, before he got signed to Sony, before he got sick and lost his dreams and was forced to a wisdom and perspective beyond his years. The rising tide that is currently lifting all channels it touches has been part of Ren's nature all along. ❤

Nice catch of the "flowers". Another double meaning: the video started w/ funeral march of Amazing Grace... & ended with Amazing Grace being exhibited by Ren. When we respond with Grace... like you & Ren did with this... it generates a container that invites transformation, so all concerned... all who witness it... can enter into that state of mind. It's humbling to witness ... and sparks joy in the hearts of your audience. Thank you!

Look at Ren showing people humanity, humility, and courage! Damn. I haven't been inspired by music since the 90s. Ren has reawoken my love for music that all these past one dimension writers never could. [As I said I'm older and my phone screen is hard to see so ignore 'mom typos' and pull out your decoder rings 😂] it has been a very long time and many many years that i have been interested in any musicians out there. This guy is tops. Adore him! Everything he does! Even music I said years ago that i wasnt fond of, he pulls it out his back pocket and i am like OMG-squeel! This guy has it and will go far and many generations from now, they will still be looking back at his lyric and music. Damn this kid has talent coming from everywhere! Total fan girl. It has been a long long time! Thanks Ren. I feel alive again. You pulled me out the drugery, my ears perked up, and I am grateful for all you put out there that benefits us all. ❤ Big love!

This man is a genius who has made the conscious choice to bring as much good into the World as he can. He turns a diss battle into a call for brotherhood and unity while encouraging the other rapper to consider doing GOOD rather than continuing the nastiness. Wow. Just f-ing WOW. Okay, now for my "Knox Hill comment." What a KILLER reaction. More of an analysis and explanation video. I subscribed to you immediately when I saw your reaction to Hi Ren. Your knowledge and understanding of rap opened my eyes to the complexities and creativity behind (good) rap. The way you explained what Ren was doing in this video was superb. I'd heard it only two times prior, and I was missing something. Make that thingS. Plural. I had a general sense of the meaning, but I had no clue about MOST of the 'sneakier' references to other artists and other songs. Fantastic reaction!! You certainly affirmed my suspicion that you are bright AND intuitive! Thanks! Now I can comment on OTHER reactors videos of this and sound like I'm the smartest one in the room.

I know I'm late to the party on this one. But still needs to be said... You and Ren are so genius... talented, educated and so sophisticated. I love that you're an example of how to take a punch, give a punch and help your opponent up off the floor. Classy❤❤❤

Thank you for taking the time to address the difference in the type of content that Ren and you create vs the type of content Dotta creates. You make a very good point about any fans that do choose to follow Dotta not being interested in the substance of the content he has created up to this point. I have looked at some of his regular tracks to see what's there. That is exactly the type of content that I have avoided for years. Hip hop and rap has greatly evolved over the years. Continuing to fill your mind with destructive content especially these days when so many are struggling just isn't helpful. In my opinion that's the type of content that keeps you trapped where you are, not changing, growing or trying to do anything to improve your quality of life. Even if an artist does have some degree of skills that can be improved over time. If the substance of the content is hateful, destructive, divicive and or toxic it simply will not gain the traction that it otherwise could even if a million or two eyes are looking at it. It will drop off.

I was really curious about what you thought of all of this. Thank you for speaking about it. Ren's diss is fun for me because it was so funny. Hopefully dotta can grow from this and put something out quickly that is good.

❤❤WOW Knox, you’re such a great example for this community…this whole situation that you and Ren have found yourselves in has just been pathetic. I’m really sorry that your life has been interrupted by having to deal with this. Same for Ren…..having medical treatment and moving to a new apartment is extremely stressful…I’m really proud of you guys for turning this around for good.❤❤

Bagpipes at the end, playing Amazing Grace

All of Ren's spoken word pieces are great exercises for catharsis. Really inhabit Ren's cadence, tone, and expressions. It's a great way to learn to flip the story and find your own power. In addition to the chrysanthemums, Ren has fern--for sincerity and sorrow--and olive--for both peace and victory. Ren telegraphed things right there, then he used words. He's a gem. Always. So are you Knox.

Incredible response there at the end Knox. You and Ren are of a rare breed and your fans love you both for that. Nothing but respect. And as always, that breakdown was great. You caught many bars that others did not. ❤❤ All love. Keep uplifiting.

I am a huge fan of both you and Ren, both musically and because of where both your hearts are at. Unfortunately, i was far too old when i learned that there is a way to artfully and skillfully stand up for yourself when being dissed and yet still spin it into a positive light. Thank you for your fucking amazing music, sharing your gift of breaking down songs and giving a new appreciation for the HipHop/Rap world, that i didnt know i had. One note to mention while pointing out specifics in Ren's video, at the end the bagpipes play Amazing Grace...interesting choice in the hymn in the intro/outro. GRACE. its funny as hell, in the intro as the song, of course is played most often at funerals, but, again, that juxtaposition that Ren so eloquently spits is always amazing. Thanks again for building up community support and stay gold my friend.

I feel like this was both a great opportunity for Ren to have some fun and show that he COULD battle if he chose to, as well as an effective way to shut down future attempts to lure him into battle. Now he can just point to this video and say, "I've already said everything I need to."

Thank you both for the analysis which filled in the field which would have been full of craters of misshearing to my dyslexic ears without it, but mostly, thank you for having Ren's back. That's why I subscribed here. I truly believe that Ren is inspired and is directed by a Light which few others can sense in any way, and he not only can give it voice, but also act in accordance with it as he shows in this. He proves that he can scrap with words, but then offers to help his opponents back to their feet and even asks his fans to return compassion. The kid is special, precious for the service and grace that he shows to all of our human tribe, and he's proving also that he can "walk the walk" relative his message by returning brotherly love to his attacker. I really hope that he changes this world, because I'd much rather live in his vision of it's potential

Did you realize , it was amazing grace being played on the bagpipes at the end ? Because that might be the most perfect thing said ! After he flipped the script he’s playing Amazing Grace on the bagpipes ! 😮😂❤ He’s a true artistic genius ! I love Rens ❤️

@nataliapazar872 11 ай бұрын

I was waiting for this. Your breakdowns are awesome as always. What I was really waiting for though: is to see how you react to the second part. Did you notice that as soon as Ren flips it around, you don't stop at every line like you did at the first part? The flow just takes you on the journey it took us all on. Love how the grizzled rap-dissector has to stop and just listen in awe. So it's not only me! Every single time I hear this, I have tears I'm my eyes. Don't really know why. Maybe seeing how love can win against hate actually gives me hope? Maybe because I almost stopped believing it... Hats off for your final message. You can count me in as a supporter of the cause for your next song.

I totally agree, Ren is a community builder, a raiser not someone that wants to use hate and to demolish anything. I visited Dotta KZfaq, I have not subscribed, I will watch to see if he can follow RENs lead, and stop the dissing. join the Renegades, Lift and become a tide that rises all ships. May I congratulate you Knox and we’ll done for your own olive branch, and what you are doing for your own community. Ren changes the world one person at a time. Maybe Dotta will be next. 😘😘😘😘
