This went right over your heads. This is not music. It's not a song. It's not a rap. This is theatre. This is art. This is pure genius. To get Ren you will need to watch Jenny and Screech's Tale (full). It's a 21st century Shakespearian tragedy.
They won't get it... Probably never will. They're just stuck on modern rap, which in my opinion is NOT art. Not that I don't bop to it, bc I do, but this is on another level... But trust me, they'll never get it. Maybe a few songs, but it goes right over their heads.
Ive watched like 10 of these reactions an when the Oooo's start everyone is confused but at the end when the Ooooo's come back everyone is headbanging. every reaction.
Guys this is done in one take live ,Ren is amazing he is a National treasure here in the UK , you need to relisten, this is one of the most amazing pieces of music I have ever heard, Ren has struggled greatly with health problems and illness, and was dropped by Sony when he was diagnosed with Lyme disease, he is currently in Canada getting treatment, I'm a little gutted by your reaction I've been waiting for you to get round to Ren he is a genius. Least it was real reaction ,thanks for getting to Ren.
He’s talented for sure! I’m sure we will do another reaction to Ren! We had no prior knowledge on him before the reaction so it’s hard to catch every Bar not knowing EXACTLY what he’s referring too! I like the guy and I’m sure we will give him another shot on the channel! I pray his treatment goes well in Canada and he continues to tell his story to help and inspire other people battling the same thing!💪🏿
We are only looking for people who are empaths. these guy are not and may never be. they Love the top 40 industry and lyrics about gold and booty and cars and same with videos. but yeah they can change anyone can be a part of this movement. We are not looking for people who worship hollywood types and polititions. !!!!!! They will understand it as they go through the rest of his music.
Audio may have been recorded in one take but the video was not. Samuel Perry-Falvey who filmed it, clarifies that in the comments of Jonathan Hiller's (Filmmaker Reacts) reaction to Hi Ren. A masterpiece nonetheless.
@@hmo_mackey If you watch Ren himself speaking on this, which is available on RU-vid, he references this its1 take but got it on the 6th try I think it was, its 1 take live the main point is they missed the point completely I think.
This is the kind of artistry that gives "broken" people hope. Ren, through this performance piece, has become to a lot of people exactly what he stated in the song, "...the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope". So powerful, so impactful. The song structure itself is incredible. It starts off as a battle between his positive (Angel) and negative (Demon) aspects, the negative then makes an overpowering last ditch effort to reign supreme, tearing free and trying to take control, but ultimately fails as the final act, being the "God" aspect, emerges Triumphant, though still acknowledging and accepting that it will ALWAYS be a battle because we are all "a coin with 2 different sides". It's a beautifully cathartic and raw musical masterpiece. Ren is truly special. Welcome to the Ren rabbit-hole, it's a trip worth taking. This was the 4th take he did and yes, it was done live. Wait until you hear some of his other stuff, especially his storytelling ("The Tale of Jenny & Screech"). You haven't even touched the breadth of this young man's talent yet. The pig character represents the doctors and therapist who have essentially butchered him for years through their misdiagnosis. He literally thought he was going insane because he was told repeatedly that the pain and symptoms he was experiencing were all in his head (psychosomatic). Turns out he had Lyme's disease the whole time and it ran rampant through his system for 10 years, even to the point of causing brain damage. Ironically, if Ren hadn't gone through what he has, would he have ever made this work of art? There's no question that his suffering has shaped his music and now he's finally getting the recognition he undoubtedly deserves. I've said it before, I'll say it again, Ren is special.
Yeah he is sick he has Lyme disease and it went undiagnosed for years and they thought he was mentally ill and gave him pills which caused more issues with his head. He is in Canada now being treated.
Thank you for this background information. He was mentioning it in the song it’s just hard to catch exactly what he was speaking on with no prior knowledge! He’s super talented and I hope his treatment goes well🙏🏿
@@TheOfficialOTBBROS this song is a powerful song with what he is going through but if you want a songs that are more aesthetic I suggest hunger or chalk Outlines the live version.
Watch The Hunger an lyrics are in the comments an I think you are going to want them for this spit 🔥 barz. Always thank you for your honesty. Once you get the message from the track you may have a different view of it. Basically the more good in your life, the more bad will be there too. The brighter the light is the darker the shadow it cast ❤️ I call this the artist brain. We all have a voice inside of us talking shit about everything you've said, say, do or think about. That's what this is to me ❤️
I see this as, He is having a battle with his inner demons possessive versus negative. explaining how overcome a lot in his life. I also see it as a message of hope xxx
🌺🤙🌼🖖🏻 Ty for watching. He does rap rap too. It’s hard to get all the words the first time He does always post the lyrics. He is independent so he doesn’t have to concern himself with that. 😎
Life is all about perspective yall. I hope yall don’t take the comments too hard on this reaction. You gotta view this as more of an epic stage play, rather than a track. This one is so deep on the different sides of a persons mind and the battle of good and evil…… ren hits hard on different levels….. you will find something you dig for sure. Cheers
REN is a GEM! You guys just found an artist that has so many sides that it makes you think is there anything he can't do- GREAT start, but now you need to go down the rabbits hole with REN - Next you should do Jenny & Screech Tale (FULL VERSION), The HUMGER, Sick Boi, Money Game Part 1 & 2- Losing It and so much more- I have viewed this particular track from him at least 100 times.. We do NOT get artist like this in our lifetime, so when you see a form of ART as he has provided in this video - you know this is pure gold.... it is too bad that you felt that way at the end, maybe you will listen again and really capture the entire picture
Hey guys!!! I was waiting on this one 💯!! So ren is sick with Lyme disease. It's an auto immune disease. A chronic illness. He was misdiagnosed for 10 yrs which caused him to go into psychosis. The disease took over his body too. His brain is all messed up and he has to take a lot of medication, a cap that helps create neurological pathways that the lyme disease destroyed, and some surgeries on some organs that it destroyed as well. As someone that has 2 auto immune diseases and have gone through the psychological problems it causes, watching this is like looking un a mirror. He is making waves with this song, and he is a true pure artist. This video (from my understanding) was done live and in one take, different camera angles. Apparently he's known for that. They of course rehearsed several times beforehand though. Anyway, sorry long comment. But if you decide to delve further, check out "sick Boi" it gives more of his background on his sickness. And you want to hear him rap rap, do "hunger", and his singing skills do "chalk outlines". Oh and the pig (from my understanding) is to represent the medical industry. Because he was misdiagnosed for 10 yrs and told it was all in his head all to finally be diagnosed with a chronic illness that almost killed him!. Great reaction! #REN
Thank you for the background information. I wish we had this knowledge on him before the reaction 😂 but He’s super talented and I’m glad he’s sharing his struggle with the world because his testimony can save someone else! I just read a comment about him being in treatment in Canada, and I pray it goes good for him! I’m sure we will check him out again and give him another chance!! We just jumped in with know prior knowledge so we got some of the message but it’s hard the grasp everything not knowing what he is referring to exactly!! He’s an artist and we’re rooting for him 💪🏿
@OTB BROS REACTIONS oh most definitely! It's hard especially as a reactor, not knowing the background and diving in head first. But it makes for genuine reactions, which in my opinion is better! But yes definitely give him another shot! Just because this didn't resonate, doesn't mean something won't. I really like "sick boi". Yes it's about his struggles as well, but it's more rap style, and the beat is 🔥. BTW I believe (if I read correctly) he's like Tom and makes his own beats.
At least you were honest. I respect that. Not everyone fights their demons like that. I dont, to be real, I just like that he did it live andthe talent this man has. I like his other music much more. Try listening to the Hunger. you will need the lyrics. lol
Love you guys and I've been enjoying going through all your reactions I found yall only a couple months back. Appreciate the honesty and the fact you gave reason to why cuz I feel like that is a very respectable way to convey your opinion specially on a song that was prob hyped a fuck load to yall. That makes me like your channel snd your transparent authenticity you set as your standard here. I personally think there could be a lot of fans of ren who might come for you on a dissenting opinion but I am happy to hear your true thoughts and your very valid reasons as yo why you have those thoughts. I am gonna throw you a so g that might be more enjoyable for yall to try out by ren, the hunger is a fun, also one take recording ,music video and he can showcase a different variety of talents you spotted alresdy. The beat on that mother chucker is hard af too. Yall take care of yourselves looking forward to the next one 💜💜 much love from sacramento California
If you want to hear Ren rap rap check out his two tracks "Genesis" and "The Hunger" Ren has a band called "The Big Push" and they have live videos on their RU-vid page where they play street shows in Britain. They do amazing, and I mean amazing covers of Bob Marley's "I Shot The Sheriff/ Road to Zion/ Hip Hop" and Ren's voice sounds so much like Bob Marley's. They do an incredible cover of Black Sabbath's "War Pigs." They cover The Rolling Stones "Paint It Black" with Ren playing bass and it too is incredible.
While I may not agree with your take on this I do respect the honesty of it. Honest reactors are hard to find, most will hide behind feigned emotions and fake smiles to basically scam their viewers. Big props for keeping it real.
Yeah I’m here for Ren this kid is on another level he’s unique af good reaction 🔥 Ren the hunger ! Check it out! His cadences and flows are so dope plus his beats and shit
I am a little surprised by the rating but I understand you are likely rating it as music that you would or would not put on a play list, It is more of a performance to describle what he has gone through in a universal way that allows people to relate. It is the message to people who are struggling that they are not alone that is important and the insight it gives to those who are not struggling allows them to commisurate with the struggling. Most of the original lyrics on his songs are pretty deep and very personal to him, his talent is in making others understand what he feels and relate to it.
seems like about 1 out or 20 people complain about the 'hooting' in Hi Ren. dude has a reason for doing everything. i think it might be an allusion to 'cuckoo' as in one flew over the cuckoo's nest
Only reaction channel out of 22 didn't give full marks it's live remember I'm dumbfounded I thought these guys had taste ...this song was not a sing it poem it's full art
I don’t think they’ve had the experience of the songs content in their lives yet but one day they will… tho they seem like really confident guys so maybes not.
Apreciate the honesty , keep in mind , all done live in one take , try it , good luck bringing that emotion with one guitar and one voice , but honest reaction, all good
Honest reaction for going in blind , but the backstory makes it make sense but this man can rap rap , kill the guitar , sing and beatbox . Check out his taps like the hunger or losing it to see his double time rapping flow and cadence switches . Trust me the ren fans will come for it like the hog fam
Just goes to show some people don’t get it, even when genius is right in front of them. Anyone remotely interested in music will know very quickly that this track is groundbreaking in so many ways - but then you get these two clowns who think they know what they’re talking about but can’t understand the lyrics? Lol.
Also this video was done live in one take. Not vocals added on top of video. Also watch the tale of Jenny Screech and Violet. That is also done live in one take
Im honestly disappointed. Yall are entitled to your opinions but wouldve thought yall would have grasped the depth and genius of this. Ren is something very special. If you felt like you needed to watch it a couple more times then it was too soon to give a rating. And it was so disrespectful to stop in the beginning to go piss.
Sick boi Chalk outlines The tales of Jenny and Screech and Violet Hunger. You'll change your understanding of what Ren is, you just witnessed something amazing, possibly before his time for some... hope you catch up soon for the ride 💛
Can you explain your scoring system please, what's 3/8 or 3/5 etc. Also its not a rap its art including all of his musical influences this was theatre and everything combined.
@8:51 eye roll seriously. I'm disappointed. I thought you were actually a bit more mature in your reactions or input. I am a bit more disappointed in your flip on the thoughts of each other though @10:05 " I needed this" to yeah it was a 3.8. I would offer a bit of advice. If you allow yourself to feel your own reaction and allow the lyrics to hit. Open mindedness will help you evolve as person. I understand some people won't like his approach. But not everything has to have fast flow, hard beat etc. You missed out on message on this one for sure. I feel you shorted yourself. I know you were beginning to understand when you acknowledged you needed to hear it. But when opinion differed you second guessed your own feelings. Check out hunger and genesis. Realize thar ren isn't just one thing. He's an artist. Talented on multiple levels. Check out his older stuff to understand what and where he's come from. At I believe 19 he had contract with Sony records but the label dropped him when he got so sick. Spending excruciatingly painful days in bed, needing assistance even to shower. Stem cell transplant saved his life but he now suffers from neurological effects from Lyme disease and ptsd from medical trauma. His mind went to psychosis because it was too overwhelming. He is INDEPENDENT ARTIST so you are going to see fans hold him up. I connected instantly with his story as Navy VETERAN that fell ill in service now with autoimmune illnesses rheumatoid arthritis sjogren fms dysautonomia, pots, dercums disease and hypogammaglobulinemia with seizures, complex chronic migraine Chiari malformation. And too many more comorbidities. The Worst part of invisible Chronic illness is Doctors and others do not believe you. Put it off to mental issue and give pills. They cause trauma . It takes the average autoimmune illnesses sufferer eight to ten years to receive correct diagnosis. There is limited research being done. To make a point statistically male pattern baldness research has ten times the amount of money for treatment solutions research. But there are people out here dying waiting for answers. I'm stepping down off my soap box. Lol. I really do hope you will give his music a chance. The big push( band he was member() is music that began on streets of Brighton. From feats with chinchilla, eden, romain axisa. All genres I hope you find some you enjoy. Try diazepam, depression, freckled angels, chalkoutlines, how to be me, heretic, dear God,
(LA Leakers Ray Vaughn) Guaranteed to be one of the best rap sessions you'll 👂 hear in 2023. Neverending bars that don't 🛑 stop coming at you. Your 🧠 brain gonna think it's inside a jail cell because of so many bars. Guaranteed to pause every 5 seconds because of the bars. Please Don't 😴💤 sleep on doing a reaction to this 📽️ video. PEACE ✌️....
Im disappointed this went over your head i e suffered with chronice issues forever and so i guess it hits on a personal level for me. But as others have said he is very talented and the owner where he shot the video only gave him 30 mins instead of the hour he was supposed to have and so he did this in TWO takes. ❤
