The initial family fortune of the founders of what became "Shell" (now Royal Dutch Shell Group) which is a massive global petroleum company came from the import of seashells. You will find this information Shell's website The origin of the Shell name can be traced back to the seashells that Marcus Samuel senior imported from the Far East during the late 19th Century. When his sons Marcus junior and Samuel were looking for a name for the kerosene that they were exporting to Asia, they chose Shell. As kerosene sales came to dominate the business’s turnover, the name was adopted for the new import-export organisation that was set up in 1897 - the Shell Transport and Trading company. Strangely enough Marcus Samuel Senior used to sell a souvenir object, namely “knickknack boxes” with glued-on shells, which he sold on the beach in Brighton.
This was the very first song I heard from year a couple of years ago. My cousin showed it to me and it never even occured to me to go through his catalogue. If only I had known about the Tales of Jenny and Screech, or The Hunger 😂 this song still has a special place in my heart though because it was my intro to Ren.
@@MicheleRaeF haha but I was first, so I win... I apologize coffee got me jumping an I'm feeling froggy LOL I won absolutely nothing an have a beautiful Monday ❤️
This is where the one line from Hi Ren came from where "bad ren" says "good ren" has just stolen other material " Mate we've heard it all before, uh, she sells sea shells on the sea shore".
when you said " imagine if you were charge to breathe " just reminded me of a Particlar Dr.Who Episode called - Oxygen. so lyrics hit me a bit harder as that episode was alot about goverment controling peoples lives with money as well.
"Ren - The tale of Jenny and Screech (full)" 13 min video. You'll go nuts after watching that, trust me, is a highly recommended!!! Please react to that❤
My generation thought that paying for a glass of water was insane. You could just go in to any fast food place and ask for an ice water and get it for free. Then they started charging for the cup then for the ice then they figured out people would pay more for a bottle of water then other drinks that costs them more to make because they have to add other ingredients to the water.
Hell Yeah! Been offline for a few days - so f’kn psyched to see you & BRI have been diving down the Ren 🐰 🕳️- gonna dig this one with y’all and catch up later. BTW, others may have noted this but this is part of that self-mocking “Uh, she sells sea shells” line in “Hi Ren”. Played this for my younger son he said “Dad I heard this 2 years ago in 9th grade when we were studying basic economics” - how dope is that? 🤘🏼🎧🤟🏼
This was an awesome dynamic between you two. I think you should definitely listen to Losing It as your next one, it's a much more fun rap song where you can see he's just enjoying himself. You both deserve something bouncy after that.
you can now do the tale of jenny and screech but make sure you do all 3 parts together this one is really important! love this reaction hugs all around
After the Tale of Jenny and Screech, you HAVE to check out his rendition of "I SHOT THE SHERIFF/ROAD TO ZION/HIP-HOP MIX" with his band The Big Push. WHOLE other level and direction.
Can't wait for your girl to see How To Be Me LIVE VERSION ft Chinchilla, Chinchilla Fingers LIVE VERSION, Ren x Chinchilla busking videos 🔥🔥🔥 and you both to see Rens band The Big Big Push 🔥
There is a play from way back by Ben Elton called "Gasping" where air is commoditised, the rich are buying in designer air harvested from the plains of Africa or the Himalayans, leaving the poor natives gasping for the lack of anything to breathe.
The 'she sells sea shells' is a reference to the oil company which started out importing and selling seashells in London where they were not common. The company "Shell" took its name from this activity and with the funds formed a corporation and diversified into other businesses for which it is known today, aong with its political influence through funds.
Subbed for the Ren Rollercoaster! You guys have made your way through the deep songs. I think you will love to see how talented he is musically. I suggest seeing how he made it playing in the streets of Brighton. Check out Ren & Sam Tompkins - Earned it /Mans World / Falling!
I am an old Hip Hop head ,and ill say this Ren is the only new artist I've fucked with in years ,youve been only hittin his deep shit when it comes to government ish .....wait till you go the Ocean ft Eden Nash, Humble,Murderer Acoustic version.....shiiit homie your in for a treat
Love how you put down here what's on deck. My first view of your channel! Looked through your catalog and I don't see any Falling in Reverse, went back 10 months. Take your pick, I just found them when they dropped Watch the World Burn Subbed
Keep an eye out for money game part 3 coming in October 12th. Ren says it’s his favourite piece to date his very proud of it,a 9 minute mini movie. One take
When i was a kid water was free. You could go in anywhere and ask for an ice water and get it free of charge without ordering anything else. Now a bottle of water costs more than a bottle of pop which is just water with extra ingredients so how is the pop cheaper?
Great reaction guys. In the same spirit, there's another song that conveys a comparable message. Murder Runs the Globe - Akala If only all lessons were as well-taught as this.
Ren is right in order too become rich one must kill his morals because that is a life of a poor man. I will keep my morals can’t take the green with you when you die !
We all have to spend money, but we don’t all have to buy the popular, expensive stuff!! If we buy what we need and leave it at that then these companies wouldn’t be doing so fucking well!!
1:12 Britain split from the EU after many people, ironically often the ones that were working in fields like agriculture and Fishing that were massively supported through money coming from the EU, believed the lies of the Brexiteers and voted to leave. It’s never a good idea to believe the ones that offer easy solutions for complicated issues and make empty promises. Just because they scream the loudest does not mean they are right.
I've been charged to breathe. 😂😢 (laugh to avoid crying) I got covid, pneumonia, RSV, and MRSA... ALL AT THE SAME FUCKING TIME. I spent 21 days on a ventilator in a medically induced coma because my lungs quit working. I was 6 months pregnant when I woke up and came home. This has been the only time in my life I've been truly thankful for insurance. The total cost of being breathed for... $495,818.50. The fifty cents on the end of that price tag cracks me the hell up. 😂 Sure, we'll keep you and your unborn baby alive. We have the means to do it. It'll cost you only half a million dollars. 🥴
thanks for checking out 3 videos. yes this is different cuz we never seen an artist like this its like being introduced to someone new you learn more about them the more time you spend with. thanks for your time
@ROMsquad don't listen to this person honestly I think you get ren and his music better then most. Honestly the fact that you can relate your life experiences with his music says it all. Not sure what the point of that comment but the person's totally wrong.
