For those who are wondering why I didn’t watch the 3 nights series beforehand, I just want you to know that, that was intentional on my behalf. because this wasn’t a reaction video. I’m actually glad I didn’t watch any of the series beforehand. I like dealing with the lyrics raw with no hints clues that will potentially redirect my case study on it. Because the case study isn’t about clues or backstory. It’s not even about the root of the focus. It’s about the seed that was planted that grew into the root. That’s what I speak towards. But thank you all for watching n sorry if that disappoints you. I’m aware that many of you will not favor this style of content and I’m okay with that. But this is who I am at my core. This makes me happy. I’m moving away from typical reactions of people catching clues and such. There’s plenty of enough reactors doing that n doing it well. I respect them. This is just me tho. Thank you again. And thank you REN.. you are magnificent brother. 💜

One of the parallels I think of between Ren and Vincent Van Gogh is that Van Gogh wasn't interested in pursuing commercial success. He wasn't interested in painting portraits for rich patrons. He painted what he found most interesting and meaningful: portraits of ordinary people, peasants working in fields, places where working class people found rest. Ren is the same in that he is creating his own portraits of ordinary people with the same empathy and care that Van Gogh had for his subjects.

Act 3 makes my soul vibrate 🫠I've listened to this like 100 times and i cry every time. I feel blessed to be on this beautiful planet at the same time as Ren. 🥹🥰🦄

Act 3 is a soul crying out in the dark, hoping for change.  Then he notices that he's not alone in the dark, so he builds a fire in him to light the way out for everyone.  He speaks so much truth...so much of what's in the heart of every good person...and that's the problem because...  Act 4 dawns and it has become apparent that Vincent will never again be a cog in their system.  So they have to destroy his mind to keep his "sickness" from spreading.

Ren, in his reaction with Knox Hill, called Act lll a spiritual awakening. That makes sense of the shadows crawling on the ground towards him when he's at his most angry, and the shadows on top of the cage reaching down to him (one, in the recreation of "Creation  of Adam" from the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel) when he sings about love. Protect Ren at all costs 🙏🏼

The part that gets me is when Ren reaches up to the shadow with 1 finger while talking about creation.  He may be referring to Van Gogh in this series but the nod to Michelangelo's "Creation of Man" (or Creation of Adam) is beautiful.

Ren is a sword tempered in pain

I think a lot of us feel this deep love for Ren, maybe because he speaks for us, maybe because he allows himself to be vulnerable. I have been a serious fan of other artists, but have never felt this deep, deep connection to an artist before.

I believe 'God' is speaking through 'Ren'. Everything that Ren has gone through, and is still going through, was meant to shape the 'Man', and continues to shape him. I believe Ren's life was planned by 'God' and the 'Soul' of Ren prior to his arrival/birth; his suffering due to his health and the losses of 'Friends' was meant to give him a unique perspective on life, allowing Ren to 'See' his 'Purpose'. He may not realize it, but then again, he might. He is a 'Poet/Philosopher/Messenger'. Much of his 'Art' has 'Messages' that 'Mankind' needs to hear. These are just my opinions, the opinions of a 65-year-old man. I believe that 'Every' Soul chooses our lives to fulfil some purpose, whether it be for personal 'Spiritual Growth' or to "Assist' others to 'Grow'. Some achieve their purpose, others do not. We all should look 'Within' to realize our individual 'Purposes'. God Bless!

Cell block 44 - not sure if anyone else found this in the video , on the wall is a pattern of stars , so if you look up the constellations the pattern is cancer then go to its constellation its number is 44 . Also Ren and Vincent Van Goghs birthday are in March a day apart  and  that constellation pattern of stars is most visible in March

Act 3 feels like an anthem for the people 2026. It for sure has me in my feels

I think the love you are describing for Ren sums up exactly what majority of "Renegades" feel in regards to Ren. He is unique and special. A truly empathetic human that uses his art to share things he feels deeply or has experienced personally. Its why so many feel seen by his words, he speaks truth, his truth, our truth, a truth that so many of us feel. Unlike the people he shares his concerns about he actually lives his life with the ethos of 'rising tide lifts all ships'. Great respect for that man.

What never fails to blow my mind is that Ren writes his own stories, lyrics, music & play's most of his own instruments. Ren also produces all his own beats as well as mixing and mastering his own tracks. Plus, he directs and designs the music video's according to his vision.  This man is a GD Gangster Goat with a capital GG.
Act 1 was all Ren, from the stomping and clapping, to the accapella vocals in the background, which were done all by him layering his own voice stomping & clapping in the studio.
Act 2 was Ren who did all the beat boxing not just the scratching in the beginning.
Act 3 was all of Ren's studio production work, including the guitar solo at the end which he played himself. Tell me who do you know in the music industry today can do all that and do it well?  I mean who in the industry today can even 2 or 3 of those things?🔥🤯🔥

"Where's your Grammy Ren" 🤔🤣😉

The shadows with the fingers touching is Michelangelo painting, the creation of man

All the sound is ren, the stomping and choir is him layered.  Black eye is real from an autoimmune flare up during shooting, eye swelled up and went blind for days. He leaned into it and added makeup on cheek.

" The world was never meant for one as beautiful as you "   Don McLeans words apply to both Ren and Vincent van Gogh. ❤

He immediately rejects performative remorse.  Beautiful statement GAOT Worthy.  An amazing way to sum up REN's creative delivery.  And we must give credit to his supporting staff.

The more successful he gets the better the camera and audio are. Money will do that for you. Now he can express himself to the capacity. What’s crazy is he hasn’t even hit his prime yet as an artist and he’s already better than 99% of the people out there.
