Musician reacts to Ren - The Hunger | The Rhyme Schemes!  

Possibly my favourite of your reactions and whilst it's impressive to hear Knox Hill try to break the bars by ear, sometimes just having the lyrics is easier and means you can focus on the other technicalities. I think I've only seen one other reactor comment on the "fine art - van gogh" line which is important a) because of the meaning but b) sets up the "making my m-ark(t) like frankie sin-art-ra, king call me art-hur" scheme... And you're the only person I've heard to pick out the backing bits the "get 'em"... Good job and Go Sharks! Don't know who they are but great hat 😊

"What You Want" is a pure fun old-school homage to Beastie Boys, et al

This was like real time literary analysis and a cool hang out! Well done!

Losing It and What You Want are 🔥👍👍 Got in last minute and great reaction!! Think hes got more coming to get us blown away. He's certainly studied genre's so well.

Hell yeah! Dope reaction my dude. So, if there’s a consensus in your community suggestions for next Rap Ren to be “Losing It” - I wonder if anyone else would agree that listening to part of Fisher’s original EDM track *first* is helpful to bring a different perspective to the dopeness of Ren’s mind blowing ability to find rhythms & flows.

Amazing work with this one man! You caught everything like Knox Hill certified level with a great musician's insight in addition to all the lyrical breakdown. I really think if this one was more your style that Ren - Losing it ( FISHER rap retake ) should definitely be next.

Well done! The most in-depth reaction so far to this song (watched a few!) !

Now try his songs “Genesis”, “Losing It”, “Life is Funny”, “Right Here, Right Now” (Fatboy Slim one shot retake) and “Wildfire”. AND for OLD SCHOOL HIP HOP rap, “What You Want” !!!

The amount of flows in this one also attributes to the monster Frankenstein created. Body parts made a monster..his flows represent the many parts of song🔴🔴🔴

Love this one so much!

The beginning section talking about Frankensteins monster plays into this song too. Different cadence's, flows, beat changes. This is still my favorite example of his rap skills. Hold on is a classic too. Life is funny and his love music 2-3 are crazy too.

Genesis is amazing I love the live acoustic version but the studio version is great too...

I feel like a " zombie",chronic pain almost 24/7 for years,insomnia,depression( due to the chronic pain for years!!!!) Sober 17 yrs.,BARELY hanging on!!!!! I deeply respect Ren!!!!🙏🙏🥰🫶🫶🙏🩷💛🎵🎶🔥🔮☮️🌈🌹

This one is fun! He created the song version of the Frankenstein’s monster! Love it!

This was the first rap I heard by Ren and I think it will always be my favorite! Then I heard Losing It and it became my no. 1! But I also fell in love with his rap in I Love Music 1-3! Then I heard Ocean and was wowed also! And Jessica blew me away shortly after! I guess I just love all of Ren's creations! Love your detailed breakdown 😊😊

Ren is the master of flow and cadence changes. His rhyme schemes are crazy 🤪 I love it - It keeps me totally captivated. ❤

Really nice analysis! This is technically excellent, but i so love the beats and visual power of Illest. It just seems like he is growing into his personal power as he us releasing the songs from this album.

First reactor I’ve watched to catch the beatbox enhancing the alliteration. Respect and a follow.

Definitely need to watch ‘Losing It’ you’ll love it and will have a LOT to talk about 😂👌🏻

Check out Genesis from Ren thats good too! The live acoustic version is pretty good

Nice one, McFly! I agree with you that this song is great for each of his skills, but as in life, sometimes the vibe can beat the skill, so some can feel/relate more to any of his other song because of that, and that's why he's amazing!Thanks! You did it great!

This is my favourite Rap track of Ren's. I wish it was longer 😂❤

Cool reaction. I have to agree with other comments in that "Losing it" and "What you want" are ones to check out...they're Ren just having fun...but also check out his "Bittersweet Symphony" and "Right here right now" retakes for the nostalgic throwbacks. Whatever you choose just enjoy the ride...and you'll come to realise that Ren is his own Genre just like we all have. Have fun and stay safe.

So nice to find a UK reactor, your enthusiasm is infectious welcome to the wonderful world of Ren 💗

I have NEVER been into rap,UNTIL Ren,LOVE his soul,creativity!!!!!😀🫶🙏💜🩷💛💚🩵🎵🎶🔥🔥🔮☮️🌈

Genesis is also another good Ren rap. I think its my fav.

I got totally different view of this song with 20+ film and book references in the lyrics and visuals, then in context of each bar the references are describing himself. With every change of rap style/beat hes re-emphasising/highlighting his feelings, struggles and lessons in relation to the references to ultimately concludes his mindset. Incendiary song!

This is my favorite Ren song to watch reactions on as it really shows how brilliant a rapper he is. Reall enjoy the depth of your analysis, amazing man 💖

Love love love Ren!😎❤😎❤😎❤😎❤😎❤😎❤💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

0:34 Morning bro (it’s 649am here Berrima NSW Australia) wow another awesome reaction, thank you, again you pick up so much that sooo many other reactionists don’t, not dissing them just saying everyone hears something different…. and everyone has a different style when communicating their own thoughts, I love Knox and also B Pegasus but for me you touch me and you make so much sense to me, I wait for your reactions more than I do anyone else, thank you……. 100% Genesis this is one of my favourites and I don’t even know why, it just hits me…. please consider doing the live acoustic version against the video version, many have done the vid version but I have read in the comments of those and lots say the acoustic version is better…. Anyways just saying, and agin thank you, take care, Daz

I JUST NOW saw ( after at least 50 views of different reactors) that he is stepping to the beat with that crazy walk 😂😂😂😂 NICE!!😁😁😁

Yaaahhh I've been waiting for this one. One of my faves for sure. Bro be RAPPIN rappin.

Another reactor pointed out how he "plants" himself when he says "growing like trees." Great reaction!

Stay grounded when I grind up my beef.. That's like, do you have a beef with me?

Also Genesis is my favorite Ren rap song but Losing it is SO MUCH FUN!

my favourite is the MC sessions version of "blind eyed", love to get your take on it

i love how the get em made me think. damn he's his own flavia flave

Banger!

Beautiful guitar on the wall

And like so many of his videos... this was a one-take. No cuts.

I want to see you react to the actual band McFly.

As always, great reaction and breakdown bro! Keep being you brother 👏👌🤌🔥❤️

So.. I've been watching a bunch of video's back to back at the moment, and your analysis are getting better each video. Love to see it man. Also yeah Primarkt is a clothing store. Ren is a genius.. I feel this guy is going to take over the world. His style is so unique, and he chose a insanely good time to launch all of these video's. Let's see where he will bring us. Could you possibly reply to Losing it (Fisherman retake), Genisis & Money game part 1 & 2? (All from Ren). Keep up the great work!

Back for a re watch😊 best reaction to this one that I've seen and as usual always fab to catch the live.

Great job. Otherworldly.

No need to play favorites. I just enjoy them all. I think back to a few months ago, and I can't believe what a treasure trove of great Ren music I've stumbled across. I've not felt this way about a musical artist in a very, very long time.

Fab reaction to a fab artist , id suggest loosin it as your next track to look at.

I read the 'I made a monster' was his music breaking out - his next lyrics is conquer music scene..

Losing it is a great rap rap song

Great reaction!😊

Blind Eyed is a great one with Sam Thompkins. He plays guitar and sings some, but he has a verse where he snaps with the chopper flow at the end.

Another great reaction fella.

Its consistent with other comments I've seen that the next one is the new favourite

A really good reaction. Very informative. You need to check Genesis next :D

If you are a 1990, go to his song 1990's. Just a great fun song, bringing up loads of memories. 😅

Do What You Want next! Is pure fun!

Losing it is the song to hear him truly show his rap skill🔴🔴🔴

You'll love Genesis 🖤

I don't see a reaction from you for Ren's video Crutch (with Bibi). It is completely different than his other stuff (I say that for everything he does). It was written about 6 years ago before he had his Lyme's diagnosis when he thought he was losing his mind. He explains what it's about on his community page but I've seen several different interpretations so I don't want to influence your impressions. He was definitely younger when he performed it but it is just as powerful as his current stuff and hauntingly beautiful. It's my favourite Ren and should be played on every radio station everywhere.

Really enjoy your reactions and your insights! Please dig back and do Ocean or Life is Funny.

Cali raised thank you ❤❤❤

I personally live with chronic pain and i couldn't ever imagine being addicted to it. I personally would give anything to know what it would be like to be pain free for just 15 minutes. On the flipside i have always kind of liked acute pain that's just temporary but never the chronic kind

🔥🔥

Life is Funny, Hold On, Ocean are different with original rap styles

It's cool to think that Sick Boi is his rap album, and he's only released 3 out of 16 songs so far... lots more ahead!

I would LOVE to see you react to blind eyed with Sam tompkins but make sure it's the angry car park attendant version PLEASE!

GO SHARKS! I mean some day maybe. 🦈

As I said in chat, the only problem with this song is that it’s not long enough. I come back to the start too quickly when I put it on repeat 😂 Seriously one of my favourites from Ren. Along with Crutch feat. Bibi which is a completely different style. So so beautiful though. It’s a stunning piece of raw emotion. This man is just multitalented and limitless. Can’t wait for Animal Flow!

Toblerone is a chocolate bar, he swallows the bars

He is Frankenstein, Frankenstein *made* the monster. (Though really Frankenstein *is* the monster, the thing he made was his victim.)

I feel like this is more impressive than Illest of our Time" - yes, same. Love Illest, of course! But The Hunger's a different beast (Frankenstein/monster line = Ren stitched this song together from all these different flows) "All these seeds that I've been sowing slowly growing like trees" - I'm a serious gardener (food is revolution) and this line hit me SUPER HARD when I heard the song for the first time. It's the kind of metaphor that I use from time to time myself, because I'm a gardener, and because I believe food is so incredibly political... but running across it in Ren's rapping was powerful. I'm not even into rap. I might have said this before - the only rap album I've ever owned was Ill Communication, and I bought it the year it came out, so that tells you how LITTLE I've been into rap. But I'll listen to Ren's rapping all day long, now. Regarding where to go next for Ren's rapping - there's nothing else like The Hunger. Money Game is my vote for next Ren track. It's another knock-it-out-of-the-park rap track with super serious lyrics. Part 1 often runs on loop in my brain (love Part 2 too, but Part 1's message + its video were SUPER impactful for me). OH - not rap, but Heretic. Not as many reactors have touched Heretic yet (last I checked a couple of weeks ago anyway) and I *LOVE* it. I think you will too. It's like a low-key prequel to Sick Boi (with Sick Boi being a prequel to Hi Ren). Except not rap. Losing It is a TON of fun (and FOR SURE impressive of course, don't put it on a backburner list or anything) but even though it's incredible, it's more playing with "boastful rapper" lyrics (idk, maybe it's just me that's less interested in those messages - I'm absolutely going to listen to it and enjoy it when it's Ren, but I generally find that kind of subject super lame). I think what The Hunger is to me is - it's the OTHER place where we encounter Ren just taking constant unexpected left turns in the track (the closest we get to come to experiencing encountering Hi Ren again). Sure, he changes his flows impressively in other tracks too, but The Hunger's where he really just... keeps them coming, before you've even had much of a chance to settle in to one. Loved your reactions & breakdowns & analysis here, btw.

losiing it next pleae...yeah go down that ren rabbit hole

He swallows the toblerone… bars. Toblerone bars… bars… 🫠

Maybe Genesis, will be REN’s favourite rap song

This song is a lot of fun, but Genesis is my favorite rap track

This is impressive but "Genesis" is my favorite Ren rap so far (haven't seen them all) and maybe "What You Want" for the shout outs to 1990s hip hop and its just fun.

Genesis is my favourite.

Loosing it is a cool track!

You should listen to OCEAN, LOVE MUSIC PT. 3, GENESIS

Ren ft. Eden Nash - Ocean...

Did you say Hip Hop :)? Hey seems like a good time to try a look of him with the band: :) please let yourself take in and enjoy a listen to "The Big Push - I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop" it has over 7 million views! I will reply to this comment with the URL, hey thanks for your reactions - peace McFly

I would suggest the songs ren did with eden nash. All are good, you can pick the one you want.

See this is what you call rap music

Red and green smoke = color of airplane landing lights???

Primark is like H&M or GAP. Cheaper than them though.

Huh? A toblerone is a whole candy bar!?

Someone should propose this man for the grammy's... No one can deny that after "Hi-Ren" he emerges as "the" 2023 revelation judging by the millions of views of this work and all the rest of his discography.

For me, Ren's best rapping is in Losing It. You're missing out if you don't hear it :)

im subscribing love the reaction can you react to Dir en grey zakuro live its about the singer relationship with this girl he dated and fiance she cheated and left him for a band members he use to be in called la sadies here's the link to the song

My god pause pause pause and can’t hold it till the end

Sorry, this is a little too start-stoppy for my adhd ass. Nice insights but maybe let it flow here and there to retain some of the continuity? Or not, of course lol. Cheers.

Any time you start a sentence with "He said...." DON'T!! I heard it too, I understand English....I don't need it repeated to me...what you think I am an idiot??
