What I love about you channel is your introducing Ren to so many people in the industry his music is going to fly keep up the good work and all the best with your channel
Busking street performances usually also involves a hat or guitar case open for crowd/passers by/audience to voluntarily contribute tips or donations to the artist/performer to show their appreciation of the performance (not just a free street performance a bit of both, performance to promote themselves but individual generous donations are welcome - not begging)
It's like you start out thinking it's about Ren's struggle...then you realize it's your struggle...then you realize it's everyone's struggle...then you accept that it's not a struggle at all .. just the way it is.
@@jakecharlie9574Definitely this, we're putting up with things that shouldn't be this way, absolutely. But I think it also speaks about something bigger, like things we have no control over that are just part of life. Seperation, tragedy, death, chronic illnesses, negative but natural and human emotions. Because we ARE humans. And grief, and anger, and all the unpleasant emotions will never go away, it's one side of the coin of being human. But at the same time, hope, and love, and compassion, that's the other face of the coin. And denying and trying to muffle the bad things while trying to seek eternal happiness is futile, it's impossible. Like he says, it's a pendulum. Happiness doesn't stay, but so does sadness. You need to learn how to ride the waves, to dance the dance. Trying to seek that endless happiness will just make you miserable because its not attainable. It's an imperfect life. But "that's what separates us from angels, from demons, from gods". We're 'just' humans, vulnerable and weak to temptation and suffering, but because we're humans, we can get through it.
Beautifully put. Is he also blowing up on the US, coz I had not heard of him before I Ren was tweeted out by Sinéad O'Connor, which I saw only after she just died, probebly bc of her mental health and the death of her son. That dies a lot to a person like her and it doesn't even have to be suicide, just burned up, weird we still don't know what actually happened, it's been months now! Anyway, love Ren, his message, his videos, which are an experience of their own and all the other music he made, some with Chinchilla, who I now know bc of Ren and l❤her lyrics, how she presents herself, a tough bitch 😅 Take em, take em take em down, esp when I'm watching Trump spiraling now he's on trial and could loose all his money, that really tickles me 😅Ren even rapped abt him. He tore our country apart, so it's bittersweet, but love to see that family go down, down, down❣️❣️❣️🤗🤗🤗🤭 Just ordered his sick boi Keychain 😘💋💋💋💋💋
I love how you smile like a proud parent while showing Ren to others. I think a smile shows true heart in each of us and yours is great! Ren is a special artist and I'm glad to see you sharing him with everyone.
I never get tired of seeing folks get their minds blown by “Hi Ren” and “Jenny & Skreetch(full)”. Its my fav thing. Thank you for exposing everyone to Ren, bro.
He's only been going for nine odd years, with the Big Push, and well whatever. This guy as a reactionist, and Ren as a performer. Amazing gadgey is Ren! ❤
Im 47 and I've seen a lot. Every once in awhile you see a standout in their field. Hendrix with a guitar. Jordan with a basketball. Barry Sanders running the football. Lio Messi in soccer. Tiger woods. I feel like Ren is that for music right now. Just a talent that is a tier above.
agreed. im only 40, you old farts, but i too find myself pinching the bridge of my nose going "bloody hell this lads good". its been a long time since ive felt like that.
38 here…I’m only 4 years older than Ren so what actually makes me relate to him is we are from the same generation. When Eminem dropped his first album when I was 13 I had the exact same feeling as I do with Ren. He’s truly one of a kind
This kid is destined to be great for sure. This reached my soul. I'm a retired soldier that's rapped for over 30 years in Spanish/english and I've always been deep but this is a whole movie from 3 perspectives and song. This is huge ! A breath of fresh air for sure!
I LOVE that you are still showing new people "Hi Ren". This song and Ren deserve so much exposure. And the more people you show this, and they're blown away, the more people they'll show or tell, that means more exposure for Ren.. Awesomeness.
"Some people know me as hope. Some people know me as the voice that you hear when you loosen the the noose on the rope." That line makes me shudder every time.
Yep, that line always gets me, but doesn't he say 'When you loosen the noose on the rope'? My impression is that he does, and the addition of the 'noose' adds a more syncopated rhythm that enhances the line even more.
Listening to Ren smash music’s worthless boundaries blows my mind no matter how many times I here his tunes. Big up Pegasus driving the Ren appreciation train all the way to the top. Love from the UK matey🥊🥊
"Hi Ren" was the first song I have ever heard from Ren also and that was only about 3 weeks ago. I absolutely fell in love with his music. Literally right after my friend showed me his music video I was on my phone looking him up. The amount of range, creativity, passion, and truth he puts out in his music gives me goosebumps every time I listen to one of his songs. Ren jumped to number one on my music playlist after just hearing him that first time and I've been listening to his music almost daily just adding more and more songs I find by him. I'm totally looking forward to seeing Ren succeed. Music has been one thing to help him through all of the unthinkable struggles he has had to overcome in his life. Physical, mental, and emotional pain and suffering that most people never have to go thru or at least not to the extent he has had to endure. It definitely shows his strength because I know for a fact that most people would never survive if they had to endure even a fraction of what he has overcome in his life so far. Ren you are a true inspiration and you bring it out in such a unique way. Just keep doing what you love and everything else will fall into place for you. You have come such a long way and have overcome obstacles I can't even fathom. I love you, I love your music, you are my new favorite artist and I can't wait to see what else you come up with. I am looking forward to seeing how far you go because with your talents and your drive and how you refuse to never give up no matter what you're gonna go where most only ever dream of.
I just came across REN a couple weeks ago. The first video was “Sick boy” which hit me in the feels as I have been living with 24/7 migraines since returning from Afghanistan in ‘07. “Hi Ren” was the second experience I had, it was much more than just a video. I was enthralled with the music, the drama, theatrics and his overall composition. All of it was mind blowing. What an absolute amazing performer, such a refreshing gift when it seems like the industry is lacking of individuality.
Agreed. Hope you are able to get the migraines dwindled down - this is a long shot but I tamed the migraine beast (along with some other trauma induced medical issues) via the elimination diet…. which ultimately turned into a carnivore diet (eating liver and red meat only, plus water and lots of salt) for about 3 months. I’m sure you’ve tried everything but I was desperate and this made the difference between being incapable of walking to the mailbox to being fully functional again.
I know I’m very, very late to this - but I suffered from a chronic migraine disorder for 2 years, and I just want to give you the most enormous hug. Thank you for not giving up on yourself even when you “stand in the flames that cremate [your] brain”❤️🩹
@@akmartinez419I suffer from hormonally triggered migraines and was extremely worried about going to basic so I started researching ways to stop them. I read that we store trauma in our joints and that visiting a chiropractor could help. I did so and holy shit man I was migraine free for 6mths then they started again and the Navy put me on pherocet, midrin, cafergot... Which caused rebound headaches so I was puking in pain more days than not. Imitrex has been the only med that works for me. I can literally get my blood vessels opening. Ive fantasized about taking a drill to my temple to release these pressure it has hurt so bad. Best of luck Hun I pray you find what works for you.
A new study has come out saying green light really helps. It took chronic migraine sufferers from about 22 a month down to 2 or 3. You should look it up. It might help. The important thing is that you don't look at ANY screens while you sit in the light. No other line sources. I hope this helps. ❤
Bring em all back! 😂 I love watching different people watching all of his videos within knowing what to expect! That's exactly what im looking for and all the Ren and all the guests are the reason you're my only paid sub on RU-vid lol It's like having my friends over to show them instead of messaging/texting the link lol
Your guest is so confident- I respect the dillusions he expreses amongst the awesome gift Ren has. There is no comparing dicks on this skill set, much love ❤️
i love how you are trying to show this song to as many people as you can pegasus i have been doing the same at work because people just need to hear it.
Radio Ray is my FAVE “reaction” you’ve had on! So insightful and attentive, his perception of it felt True and he seems similar to Ren and his “Goodness” and positive mindset! 🫶🍻❤️😊
Ren’s music is literally all about the human psyche. What it means to be a human. The pain of having mental illnesses and our conscious struggling against our mind, and I think that’s a beautiful thing. His music is basically about being human with flaws and all, and we shouldn’t be ashamed of those things. It’s what makes us who we are. He’s trying to get us to understand, to remember that we’re human and not mindless robots. His music is very deep and I relate to a lot of his songs in so many ways. Literally all of them I can relate to things that have happened in my own life. What a genius of an artist in our age. He won’t be forgotten.
I love every introduction videos to the Ren roller-coaster.... Every reaction is unique! Can't wait for the interview! His Genre should be named RENaissance! 😂 Let's witnessing the RENaissance of Music 😂😂 Thank you for entertaining us Peace and much Love from germany ❤
I have ptsd and this song let me stop and think and realize some things ,especially the message at the end. Might sound corny but after years this song has helped me find a bit of peace within myself.
My favorite part of those reactions is watching BP’s facial expressions, lil glances towards the guests and lil smiles when he knows their minds are going to be blown!!!😂
This one was cool. 1.2k people watched the premiere, which is a record. Shout out Jason for the super chat. Shout out Rayy. Everyone loved your takes and your personality. It was a vibe having you in the chat. Peace and love ❤️
I’m okay just watching these forever. Been checking out the original stuff too and it’s great! Hope the other members have a chance. I’ll definitely go look for the track you guys did together! Not to tell you what to do, but you have so much content that playlists would be really really helpful to have on your channel!
I accidentally landed on Hi Ren just two days ago...was absolutely transfixed. After the first time through the video, I sat in silence for several minutes...stunned and amped at the same time. Now I have heard the original over ten times, am 1/3 through his channel, and seen 20+ reaction vids. This was my second one of yours and they are my #1 and #2 react vids for this. I appreciate seeing how much you enjoy sharing this with your guests and your genuine appreciation for this amazing music. Subbed.
"Dance or smoke a blunt with your demons every morning" - well damn, I need to think on that one. At 61, I love how watching performers like Ren, and the reactions of thoughtful people watching, can open my eyes in directions that had never occurred to me. Thanks, gentlemen.
Oh man, that’s awesome. My 76 year old LDS mother would probably not like it….I need to put that to the test. The fact your mother saw the beauty in this says a lot about her insight and spirituality. This song in particular is absolutely amazing with deep spiritual insights that anyone LDS should be able to appreciate. REN’s spiritual insights here are phenomenal and true.
Loved your guest Radio Rayy! It's always fun to see your friends react to Ren and appreciate the talent he offers! Thanks so much BP for being such an awesome reactor ❤
Hi Ren was my introduction to Rens music. I’m 60 and not a fan of rap but I give people a chance. I love all his stuff. Like Ren, I’ve had a lifetime of health problems. His words struck a chord in me. So lifting it makes me feel better about things. Great react video! If you haven’t seen Sick Boi, you really should. Kujo Beatdown is incredible!
Sorry Radio Ray you do not get to dive into Rens content just yet! Muahahahhahaaaaah you must wait so we can watch your first time authentic reaction brutha! lol.... But to make up for it imma go subscribe to your channel right now and check out your stuff!
BP It's Cruel stopping your friends from diving into Rens Catalogue 😆 but watching their Reactions is Fire keep bringing them back, Rayy was a Great Guest more Reactions from him needed.
I know Rayy is eager to dive in to Rens catalog but I would also love for him to come back so we can dive in with him. My favorite thing on youtube right now is watching people discover Ren. Thank You Black Pegasus for bringing your friends on so you can introduce them to Ren. I have not missed one yet. #REN #RADIORAYY #HIREN #BLACKPEGASUS
REN's range is simply AMAZING... Really reminds me of early Eminem stuff when he was sharing his internal struggle with his own psychosis. But his RANGE feels so much larger.. Thank you So VERY much for introducing this to me. This will be one of my fav artists moving forward. Its great to see good young talent that's out there. Especially before it becomes mainstream. It's brilliant to see your reaction, breakdown and history behind the man. God Bless him and hope that he is able to find health past the Lime Disease. Thankfully they found it before it took his voice. Shania Twain lost voice from a misdiagnosis of Lime Disease. Again THANK you for this.
You should definitely bring Ray back! Such a chill dude, and you can tell he appreciates genuine talent. My suggestion for Ren rollercoaster v2: - Sick Boi - Chalk Outlines - Animal Flow
Oh yay! Another new viewer of Ren!!! Thanks BP 😁. Have a great day and your daughter was adorable in the “short” today. I remember when mine was that small 😅. Enjoy it to its fullest!!! PS - looking forward to that next single “mushy peas” 😂
I had a friend shoot himself in the head over years living with lime disease. This guy was one of the most positive, kind, happy human beings I've ever known. Years of misdiagnosement. Pain. And a father of many kids and a great father and husband. He gave up, and it was such a total shock to everyone. I don't know if anyone will understand why but for a person like my friend who always made dark light for everyone around him. I mean to end it all, that's a huge thing for him to get to the point of ending his life. It's no joke. Ren is so unbelievably talented. He has a platform to educate all of us. He's using his recognition well. I really loved this reaction and appreciated it so much. ❤
Because you've been on the ren rollercoaster and listened to Hi Ren a lot, I like how you glance at your guests, because you're so genuinely interested in their reactions... I watch your eyes. I adore ren and I love how you're introducing him to the world. Much love 🇬🇧♥️🇬🇧♥️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
My hometown has dinner after dark and the streets downtown are lined with buskers. ❤❤❤ It is a lot of fun and you get to hear and see a wide range of talents
#BlackPegasus hope your little girl doing ok, I'm a Mom (Mum) I feel for your road. My son was born with an eye defect call 'Marcus Gunn Jaw Winking Syndrome", his eyelid goes up and down with jaw movement. Apparently it's a rare genetic disorder. No cure. But it's something you can live with.
Welcome back Radio Rayy, and yes BP seeing you react to Rayy react to Ren and new artists in the near future, great. Ren is incredibly talented. Bless y'all...☝️🖼☝️🎇🤓
Loved Ray. Come back for sure. Just subscribed. I am in the 40s club myself and love your channel. Keep spreading the love people. It can change our world xoxo much love from Australia. Big up to the #RENergy ✌🏼🇦🇺💫🥂
Radio Rayy seeing Jenny and Screech would be fantastic! Thank you so much for this awesome reaction. Glad to have found you and look forward to seeing more. Thank you.
Ren has a playlist on his youtube page with over 20 tracks, I play it non stop and never skip a track everyone has something different to like about it. Love you keep introducing your buddies to Ren.
Personally I consider Ren a "changeling" singer; one who can adapt to many pieces/genres of music. This should be a new category of artist. He is totally amazing and I was hooked with Hi Ren and went down the Ren rabbit-hole that blew my mind with what performance was.
I love this reaction! I just started watching it so not even a minute into Hi Ren. I’m sitting here watching the look on your face. Like so proud sharing this rabbit hole lol 😂 I watch all of your introductions to Ren and agree that I love hearing all the perspectives. But yeah I’m seeing you smiling and looking over like. So proud of this moment understandably. You have made so many people in the industry that have not had the opportunity to hear Ren become fans of Ren and now they can share also. Ren is so talented and humble. I’m absolutely here for it. Also I have now watch two of his interviews now and can’t wait for your interview to happen. 😄😄😄
I love that Rayy just wanted to hear it through and go with that flow before commenting. This song the first time you hear it has too much to stop and talk. Its the recurring listening that gives you the space to truly dig into the layers and shine a torch on the artistry
I feel like I say this every time, but man, I utterly adore this format. It's brilliant EVERY SINGLE TIME. I laughed out loud at "he makes his own beats" "Come on now".
I love that we are getting more Ren first reactions. Should do a new song you haven't heard though each time. Rens got some bangers like hold on, love music 3, life is funny all double time rap songs.
Hi Ren showcases everything he is & everything he can do ( multiple genres, great voice, rap, guitar, word play, story telling etc ). So it's actually a perfect intro. Also, BP is now doing intro's using Hi Ren , Losing It & the busking stuff, as well as just ones like this.
First time ever hearing this fantastic artist. I believe that everyone can relate to his message. Thank you for the introduction to his craft. I am blown away.
Really appreciate it . We all have skeletons in our closet, and I'm 45. I have adored this guy for donks. We sometimes overwhelm ourselves , also similar issues as Ren, but your reactions keep me living in hope. We all know Ren is a genius, he's been going on for 9+years! Busking is huge in the UK !
Something weirdly therapeutic to watch reactions to Ren. Like you said I get to see it through someone else’s eyes … it’s like experiencing him for the first time again .
This is the best structure to introduce Ren - Hi Ren, then a song that highlights his singing, then a rap god song. There are so many good choices for the second and third slots.
I love when you have other people react to Ren. I love seeing the talent and vision of REN recognized through new eyes…the moment of realization of the greatness of REN is something I love to watch over and over. Had to watch Rayy’s eyebrows to get his reaction a few times, but I appreciate his input. More Rayy please!!!!
100% Radio Rayy needs to come back for more Ren reactions. Watching him react was great. He was quite clearly blown away by the range of talents that Ren has and it's great to see people's genuine reactions.
Radio Ray.....bring him back. It's alot to take in but you didn't hesitate to be real! I think the world really needs to hear this cats song, his story! Ren tickles my soul and I have to say, mad props and respect and love and healing to you, Ren! Keep on doing what you do black pagusus!
"The pendulum is slowing I'm swinging and I'm swaying but I don't know where I'm going" is dope since it connects to Ren's monologue at the end of Hi Ren
This song, and I mean all of it requires talent and courage and I know the words at the end are courageous and the whole internal conflict made external are also great, talented and courageous, but it's the wonderful "hooting" singing at the start but most especially at the end that make this a a piece of genious.
Awesome reaction! I ❤ these 1st timers! It's priceless! Each one is different but they all raise their eyebrows up when Ren starts his ooo ooos in HI REN! 😲 RR had a smile from ear to ear the whole video!!🤗 Yup... he def needs to come back! I can't wait for the interview! It's gonna be fire! Peace and love always until there is no more!😊❤
