Make something less known! If Zach de la Rocha would listen to Crucify Your Culture he'd be "OK, I'm done here...!" ;) You'll love it! Each of his songs is a gem! Lyrical, musical and visual.
Sony was signing him and he got really sick. So they dropped him. I honestly think it was a blessing in disguise that it fell through. I think i can speak for Rens fans. No one wants anyone to attempt to change him. Hes so real and raw. He speaks to peoples hearts and minds. And we will all support him! Oh and war pigs! The big push. Damn theres so many!
Totally 💯 agree with this. He would never become the man he is now if he hadn’t lived the life he lived. Sony would have ruined him and we would never have been blessed with his authentic emotion inducing art.
Oh, there is so much more! Do make a playlist for easy access! Next Loosing it, Hunger, What you Want, Money Game 1, 2, Life is Funny, Love Music 2,3! Just a start;) The Big Push, Chinchilla and Sam Tompkins collabs are another layer of the Reno-sphere and it's all FIRE!
You should definitely checkout “Money game 1 & 2” and “the Hunger” is his flexing on the rap game with so many flow switches and bars. Also, “what you want” is an homage to the Beastie Boys
Great reaction, next try out Losing It, The Hunger, Chalk Outlines, How To Be Me, What You Want or any of his band The Big Push live or with Sam Tompkins live or with Chinchilla Live
Ren can do EVERYTHING!! Makes his own beats, writes his own songs, story tells like a book,beat boxers, plays piano, plays acoustic guitar, bass, electric. Sings amazingly and has a god give of changing his voice to the performance or song! He can even sing scar and reggae and then sing like a rockstar in the band he's in the big push and then rap rap his ass off with many cadences and flows. His versatility is unmatched.
My favourite Ren performance (not song... he is a performer) is Crutch (with Bibi). It was written about 6 years ago just before he had the Lyme's diagnosis and was still being told his illness was mostly psychological. He posted an update on his community page a few days ago talking about this song but I don't want to throw spoilers so I'll just suggest you watch.
Hiya TSoW, another great reaction🖒 if you want to hear Ren having some fun and spitting bars like crazy you need to watch "Losing it", if you want some proper old school with a Beastie Boys vibe you need "What You Want" all the best from Eddie Birdie 🐦.
If you guys want to keep going down the mental health tunnel of this rabbit hole, Genesis is next and then Chalk Outlines. If you really want to see Ren live, you need to see The Big Push (Ren's band) doing I Shot The Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop. It's the next best thing to being there, and the man puts just as much feeling in other people's lyrics as he does his own.
The version of Blind Eye on the Music Crowds channel is the superior performance out of the 4 versions available. Unfortunately most people miss out on it because they only search on Ren's official channel.
You should also check his band " the big push " I shot the sheriff road to zion hip hop medley live recording once you have gone through his solo stuff
Great reaction gentlemen! You all weren't the only reactors to miss the punch line in the tales series. I cannot even imagine how much reactors have to think about while filming their content for us. All the while trying to catch pieces of what's being experienced; visually, audibly and technically and coming up something to say during and after to give us a new perspective. Keep up the great work fellas and thank you!!
Ren has new song coming out on his birthday (29MAR) called Illest of our time and we all believe it’s gonna be a banger. Please wait and react to that one first before going deeper in the rabbit hole. Ren deserves a push from the back for his mass talent
Love your channel! You need to hear Ren sing sing. Can't go wrong with Ren X Chinchila, either Chalk Outlines or How To Be Me...live versions of course.
Great reaction to this GENIUS. Lots of Reacters, like yourselves, are gaining so much from reacting to Ren's talent so it' sad they don't all VERBALLY prompt their viewers to take a minute & subscribe to him. I can't believe Hi Ren, alone, has over 8m views but Ren has less than 1m subscribers 🤔 I'm sure he would feel all the support his art deserves, especially as he's undergoing treatment at this moment for his long standing illness. Looking forward to seeing your next Ren reaction. Cheers 👍🍻
here ae 4 of my favorites. 1) "The Hunger" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1T_fLytBFM4.html where Ren shows off his Rapping Skills in (Beast Mode). It's mostly just fun smack talk. 2) "The Money Game part 2" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YonS9_QJbp8.html over 7mil views. A commentary on corporate greed and government corruption. 3) "What You Want" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jrjp4Du0rEc.html A tribute to late 80's early 90's rap that has a Beastie Boys vibes. 4) Ren - "Blind Eyed" ft. Sam Tompkins ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xjF_JTbBZjQ.html Ren gives us RnB vibes mixed with touches of Jazz on this, ending with some sick bars.
I prefer the LIVE version of Blind Eyed - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6z7ug3B_Sts.html&ab_channel=MusicCrowns then add 5) How To Be Me (Live) with Chinchilla - hauntingly good ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SDR7sup3DsU.html&ab_channel=Ren .................................... then at # 25) 🤣......... so, so many ........ so, so, good
Ren can do it all. You want to hear his singing voice, check out his duet with Chinchilla “Chalk Outlines” (Live) and “How to be Me” (Live). You want to hear him go old school hip hop rap, check out “What You Want”. You want to hear him rap rap, check out “Losing It” or “The Hunger”. For upbeat rap, check out “Power” and watch him channel Bob Marley by checking Ren’s band The Big Push doing “I Shot the Sheriff / Road to Zion / Hip Hop”. Want some hard rock, check out The Big Push busking Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs”. Political Ren - check out “Money Game” & “Money Game, Part 2”
Love your reactions! Ren did also suffer from psychosis which was brought on by the psychological shock of the intense neuropathy pain in his legs, caused by the nerve / brain damage from Lymes Disease. He had a psychological breakdown in 2016 and was hospitalised. If you watch an old video called Crutch, you will see he talks about it in the description. And sings about it in the track which is also outstanding and incredibly moving 🙏🏼
Quickly, While the iron is hot! I recommend highly The following. I shot the sheriff Live. (With his band the big push) Unbelievable rap rap- The hunger ! Educational the money game parts 1 and 2
Great reaction. Check out Ren's "what you want" for some old skool 90s beastie boys vibez. The man's a genius - defies all genres and insanely talented. You need to see his band the big push doing "I shot the sheriff/road to Zion/hip hop" too, busking on the streets of Brighton.
Ren has a set of 5 PVC figurines including Sick Boi (pighead), Jenny and Screech (and 2 more you're yet to encounter). They're available from his Store and are very cool. Mine arrived a few days ago
I think the comment that this is a prequel to Hi Ren is right on. I've never caught the possible double meaning of "losing patience/patients with the process." Nice reaction.
Great reaction...can't help but rewatch Ren a thousand times over! So many more songs to hit up...Jeeny/Screetch (Full), The Hunger, Genesis, Losing It, Money Game...Dude just doesn't stop!
Just my personal take, he has a bunch of material that's getting slept on. Tons of reactors have done all of the same tracks of his over and over. Dive in to tracks like crutch, dominoes, Jessica that have few reactions. There's a demand for it. At least mix it in with the ones that have a thousand reactions. I definitely recommend checking out the solo work of artists he collaborated with as well. Almost all of them have their own content too. Personal fave would be Chinchilla "elements". The lyric video although it really is a full music video that simply includes lyrics in the format. Also, just want to say I appreciate you being real about acknowledging that there was something you guys missed in the previous video. A lot of his material is lyrically jam packed and it's easy to miss stuff. Much love!
Wait till you fellas get into Ren's rap rap songs like, Power, What You Want (it's an ode to The Beastie Boys) Genesis, The Hunger, Losing It... He really is the Swiss Army Knife of music. Ren and Sam Tompkins you should check out. Especially the song, "Blind Eye" BUT NOT the official music video though. Check out the live version on a RU-vid channel called "Music Crown" or another live version featuring the Angry Car Park Attendant. Sam Tompkins has the highest falsetto voice I've ever heard. He actually just opened up for Justin Bieber not that long ago, and while Bieber was up performing he had Sam come out and sing with him. So that's how you know Sam is on the way up. If you want to see Ren perform live he has a live video on his RU-vid page where he does The Tale of Jenny and Screech, Violet's Tale and a 4th song that goes along with the other three. He did a quick live set in one of the Alleyways where he recorded the "Tales of" trilogy and he was amazed at how many people showed up. He built a small stage, had a PA set up and the video starts with a few hundred people coming from all different directions through the alleys to get to where he set everything up. It was absolutely amazing watching him perform the song and also his interaction with fans and how funny he is. It makes you root for him even more after watching it. There's two different videos for the same performance though. One is with a 360 camera view which I don't recommend for a reaction because you have to move your cell phone around to get a good angle. And the other is your standard video. ALSO, The pig mask is a symbol for the medical and pharmaceutical industry and humanities greed. It's from the George Orwell book Animal Farm. There's some truth bombs in that book. Here's a few quotes... "Somehow it seemed as though the farm had grown richer without making the animals themselves any richer; except, of course, for the pigs and the dogs" "The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which" "All animals are equal. But some animals are more equal than others"
Great reaction 🤘 When I listen to Ren I feel I've entered the Renaverse the way he writes and produces plays and portrays ... You said you'd like to see Ren live he works with a covers band The Big Push..... Fancy some reggae 🔥 I shot the sheriff/road to Zion/Hip Hop will blow you away🔥. His duets with chinchilla are jaw dropping ❤️. There is So much to this man's abilities and capabilities.,.. looking forward to More Ren on your channel . He's the first Artist that has grabbed my attention in years. There is an interview/ performance Ren patience 2016 he's sitting on a sofa and starts playing and singing and telling his story... Wow I'm a 56yr old punk/ Hard rock fan who is now obsessed with Ren and all he has to say and do, a true genius and genuine person heart on his sleeve. Enjoy the Renaverse you won't want to leave ✌️❤️🤘🏴
🔥🔥Great reaction to another amazing piece of musical art by REN!🔥🔥 Appreciate your absolute honesty about the Jenny/Screech ending. I love when humans aren’t afraid to be humbled. Good on you. ❤ (Not everyone …gets every plot twist ….every time) Your musical passion is contagious! Keep on keepin’ on! 😎🎵🎶🙏
we'll roast you but at the same time, we're here for it. missing it but needing to watch it again is the typical journey i feel. we a nice fanbase, just enjoy it and continue
Pageantry -OMG. the perfect word. I love y’all for the replay. --11:13-- Such a great reaction. Illness- the fact that medicine is a business- and if they can’t figure cut out / it’s in your head- consumerism -greed conformity- and hypocrisy- He covered a lot. Keep going - all songs/ videos of his are jaw dropping. Flexing rap skills - Hunger/ Loosing It ( Fisher Retake). Bittersweet Symphony ( Verve Retake) =Love of Country Love Music 1 2 & 3 - love of music / influences Money 1&2 Power politics Consumerism etc. Chinchilla colabs = hauntingly beautiful singing on mental health. Soulful colabs with Sam Tompkins His band The Big Push- such talent and joy in their performances- they let each other shine. Their originals are fantastic- but the videos of them doin busking on the street of 3 song mashups is our magic. Wade In The Water/Nina Simone/ Trouble So Hard or I Shot The Sheriff/ Road to Zion/ Hip Hop. Genesis …….and so much more.
Phillip's wife Susan here. Ren has a new song being released very soon it is called "Illest Of Our Time". Great that you are reacting to Ren's music. He has great collaborations with many talented artists make sure you keep going down the rabbit hole so you can discover everything.
"Losing patients through the process" was an interesting perspective. I hear a lot of fellow ME/CFS patients avoiding doctors and hospitals because they are too traumatized by the process. We do lose our patience when our medical specialists are influenced by outdated guidelines based on flawed science.
If you want to see Ren in a live performance you should check out the band he was in, The Big Push, their cover of I Shot The Sheriff/Road To Zion/Hip Hop is just amazing! If you want to hear his singing voice try "Chalk Outlines" with Chinchilla (the live version) or "Diazepam".
👏🏼 need to react to Ren - life is funny 🔥🔥🔥 💯 for real and here more 🔥songs Ren - money game 1 and 2 and Ren - Genesis and Ren ft The big push - I shot the sheriff (bob marley cover) Must watch 👊🏼 love the reaction Thx ✌🏼
He was signed to Sony Records but when he got sick and the misdiagnosis, they dropped him. As a musician myself and suffering from Chronic illness, EVERY single Ren song hits me hard! I have gone and watched everyone else's reactions to him and it's like watching it the first time. He is a musical genius and I appreciate your reactions and subbed as well!
Great reaction guys, I've seen a lot of people talking about Sick Boi and not seen anyone mention the patience/patients homophone, which is such a powerful line.
Recognised the No Ma'am t-shirt.....and then realised the significance of the Polk High #33 shirt. Nice nods to a quality show. 🙂 Just checking out all your Ren reactions.
Love your reaction. I just found out about Ren, a month or so ago. What is so beautiful with his art is that it transcends all genres. I mostly gravitate towards metal music but I love this artist too.... just as with Tom McDonald... if the music has a message, it DOES resonate, no matter which musical "camp" you usually find yourself in. You two are great!
There's so many to react to. My favourites are Genesis, Power and The Hunger as more rap type songs. He has a few songs with chinchilla but the one I like most with her is called chalk outlines. He has a real old school hip hop vibe one called What You Want which I think you will love too. That's just the tip of the iceberg if I'm being honest. I stumbled down the Ren rabbit hole myself last week and it's been a breath of fresh air. Just bring food and water, you may be down here a while!
If you really want to ride his flows, definitely check out "What You Want," "Power," "Losing It," and "The Hunger," in that order. I put the Hunger last 'cause it's my fave, but others put Losing It higher. His timing, elocution, wordplay and delivery are all top shelf.
Genuinely love that you watched - we got the reaction, then the analysis after. The song has so many layers to it. Genuinely would blow the roof off if it was played in an arena/venue.
That was a super reaction guys from the previous 2 videos now ur getting more use too him. It only gets better and better when you see him do so many different genres and raps and then hear him sing sing mind will be blown! Remember he produces his on beats directs with his mate Sam on videos, he plays guitar, bass, electric, piano and beat box. And a beast penmanship. Plus all the talented people he collaborated with are just amazing. He has a band called the big push they are another level!
Ren started his interest in music creating beats in his bedroom at age 13 (born in 1990). I suggest “Patience” and Crutch” as the next performances like others are suggesting.
This is a great reaction and review!! Your enthusiasm is clear to see, where hi Ren is more a piece of art and a biography/introduction to new fans, this is way more a track people can listen to again and again. Both great tracks but in different ways!! Check out money game parts 1 and 2!!!
I’m always late on the comments so I hope you still see this. Don’t be hard on yourselves for not catching the end of the Trilogy. It’s hard to catch everything when you are blown away with this guys amazing talent. BTW, you guys are not the only reactors that missed the connection! Don’t listen to the negative comments. You felt the music and you saw his brilliance & that’s all that matters! Great reaction guys ❤
Pig-Butcher or Pig-Head shows up in many of his videos, definitely used to make a point. There is a whole long thread in his music not only of his misdiagnosis / mistreatment and illness, but his upbringing and his friends, in particular his childhood friend from 8 years old, Joe, which inspired his first album 'Freckled Angels,' and recent works 'Suic*de,' and 'For Joe.' Money Game Part I and especially Part II hit hard on social commentary, those truth bombs hit hard.
I would suggest, for his rap based songs, genesis, the hunger, and losing it. All 3 are on my favorites playlist. For his singing stuff, blind eyed, chalk outlines, diazepam, and children of the moon are also in that playlist, besides the ones you've already done. So many more but these are some of my favorites
I can't believe were graced with the man, the myth, the legend himself who scored 4 touchdowns...in a single game for Polk high in 1966! A God amongst mere mortal men! Lolol
On a more positive note It’s Alright is a must! Also try some of his Big Push tracks definitely I shot the sheriff / Road to Zion / Hip Hop. Then there’s his collabs with Sam Tompkins, Chinchilla and Bibi all are superb and amazingly diverse such a deep deep rabbit hole
Great reaction .You guys are gonna be amazed by all his other stuff .Losing it is a favourite of mine and I shot the sheriff,Zion,hip hop version with his band The Big Push also chalk outlines live version with chinchilla.I look forward to many more Ren reactions Also money game part 1 and part 2
As a set Money Game & Money game 2, Power, Losing it ( FISHER rap retake ), Chalk Outlines, How to Be Me, Genesis, Genesis (live), or Bittersweet symphony (The Verve retake). Heck go to his page a pick anything. It won't disappoint. The Ren-iverse is vast and full of surprises
Love your Reactions to Ren, he was Misdiagnosed for so long and told it was all in his head when he was in constant pain so knew it wasn't, but as well as the undiagnosed Lyme Disease doing his Body damage Doctors did him Psychological and Physical damage giving him Psych meds he didn't need, hence the representation of the Pig Butcher as the Medical industry. To see another Side of Ren i recommend you check out his Band the Big Push, The Big Push - I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop, that Live Performance will Blow you away, make sure you watch the Mash up version with the 3 songs though
If you want a really fun one he has done a Beastie Boys tribute called What You Want. It's a riot, just a very fun old school track that would be great to see you experience.
Ren does many genres and kills in all of them, you need to hear him sing, try 'Ren and Chinchilla Chalk Outlines' or 'The Big Push - I shot the sheriff/road to zion/Hip hop'. The Big Push is Ren's band, they are known for busking in the Brighton city centre.
