Yeah from recollection he commented that he went all in on this, somehow splitting himself in three people for this song... which thinking about it is kinda what he did in Hi Ren😂
I might be wrong but the taller dude looks like Viktus, aka the man in the pig mask in Hi Ren, Animal Flow, Sick Boi and Murderer videos. Btw Ren is dropping a collab with Viktus, who’s also a rapper, this Thursday.
There is a whole "Red Suspender" series of The Big Push busking videos. The first is "Watch Out," an original song, then 2. "I Shot the Sheriff / Road to Zion / [Little Bit of Luck] / Hip Hop" 3. "War Pigs" is the title of the video but is actually a mashup of War Pigs / Paranoid / Killing in the Name of 4. "Paint it Black" is the energetic crescendo, and the last of the performance. ALL worth watching!
I remember when cars were vandalised because their logo's on the hoods were stolen. It made the motor industry change how they did this lol. I had an old VW that had the logo stolen . Yeah I remember the 90's very well, Ren also reminds me of some of the stuff that Rizzle Kicks did too. Nice reaction and break down of the song. Peace
There are a few versions of Big Push doing I Shot the Sheriff. The best sound and performance is the one where Ren's wearing red suspenders. If you do a different one, commenters will bitch. Enjoyed your reaction!😊
You've got a lot of early knowledge about the hip hop scene, it's awesome. I think you're about 46(49 here), so it's cool seeing a reactor about the same age who was also so into the old school shit. New sub. Big ups from Humboldt County
In the '80's I was heavily into punk rock, with spiked hair and a rat's tail, torn up army jacket or trench coat, etc. etc. 😂 And I also "vibed" with the Beastie Boys and Public Enemy (Fight the Power), and had a chance to see PE in concert along with U2 and Big Audio Dynamite (Mick Jones from the Clash). So both the Beastie Boys and Ren are right up my alley! Enjoyed your reaction, and subbed!
@@TheLVME It was a massive concert in Camp Randall Stadium (the Badger Football stadium in Madison, WI). I was actually more into Public Enemy and the Clash than U2, but all three artists/groups put on a great show!
@@Singlespeedjo I’ve got great memories of working in NYC back in ‘86. Although I was a homeless Uni Student initially I found my feet as a waiter in an Italian restaurant during the day and night and even squeezed in some architectural drafting for high end Manhattan Real Estate. Before returning to Dublin to complete my final year at Uni where I was studying construction. Hope you are doing well and enjoying all the music 🎶 in life
@@frankoconnor806 Awesome, I grew up in New York, right outside of the city but moved out west right after college. I spent the early-mid 90s going to Dead shows lol, however I have always loved many different genres of music!!! I am half Irish and would love to visit someday. Hope you are well too!!!
@@Singlespeedjo Wow we Irish are everywhere even here in Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 I think 1 in every 10 people have Irish ☘️ ancestry. You would really enjoy visiting Ireland. I know many US companies have based their offices and here to gather n access to the European markets and the Irish government doesn’t charge them much company tax when they are based in Ireland. Hope you are going well too. I help people overcome public speaking fears working for the US Toastmasters organization. From women in the corporate IT space to disadvantaged youth and Native Aboriginal students. It’s always good to help other tell their stories. We need more genuine stories today.
Loved the reaction 🔥 I feel ya man!! Haha...when i came across Ren earlier this year, i kept being amazed as I i went through his music. I love it all but songs as this, loving the old school vibes 🔥💪💜
Been a Beastie fan since like ‘85! Yes I’m old, just turned 50 in July so I was around for most of the early rap! This homage has been in daily rotation since I found Ren in January! 🙌👏 🔥 The rabbit hole is endless - he’s beyond talented plays multiple instruments, makes beats, sings, raps, and has songs to match whatever you’re in the mood for with new stuff coming regularly - and I never get tired of him! I haven’t bought any music in probably 15-20 years but I just preordered his new hip hop cd which is being released in October
This to me, was a love song to the Beasties. I 'm a 48yr old Beasties fan and love the heck outta this! (he even used the term "ill" in this one. Freaking love it.)
One of the guys the light haired one is Viktus another incredible British artist and Ren just dropped a new tune with him. All the people you see in his video's are people he knows
Enjoying watching you devolve into fandom over Ren! Just to be clear re all the suggestions in the comments, The Big Push is the band Ren used to be in. Amazing musicians.
Have you done genesis yet. He also has it in acoustic version both are awesome. If you haven't done them check it out, you'll like both styles. Also acoustic version of murderer
