Screech is character in the trilogy “the tales of Jenny and Screech” followed by Violet’s tale” 😊
Yes was just gonna edit my comment but saw you nailed it cheers
Watching this 24 hours l8r, you beat me to it.
@@majbrat. ** spoiler alert ** 🤦🏻♂️🙈
@@Steve_W27 crap ypu are right - deleted comment. F!!! Whoops. Sorry.
@@majbrat 🤣🤣🤣 I’m glad you deleted the spoiler comment about Jenny & Screech living happily ever after 👍🤣
Screech is the character from REN’s masterpiece, “The Tales of Jenny & Screech” which is like a modern day Shakespeare type trilogy.
*ONE of Ren's masterpieces (fixed) :)
❤❤❤
Love this one.
Omfg have you NOT done the tales of Jenny & Screech yet?
You NEED to. Genius Bardcore by Ren.
Do the full triple video with all 3 tales in the right order for best understanding. So good.
Screech and Masochist are calling out works in his own catalog. Awesome breakdown, I like the time you take to listen and hear what he's saying!
Heretic is also one of his other songs.
Nice reaction, again! I was hoping you would catch that the ‘I turn it up to Eleven’ Stranger Things bar is also a Spinal Tap reference, but everyone has missed it!
I've actually never seen Spinal Tap, I feel like I should tho lol, I think I'm missing out.
@@TheLVMEit's dry British humor mixed with absurdism. Basically Monty Python mixed with Heavy Metal. You'll be picking out quotable moments for years
11:12 you gotta do the trilogy!! The Tales of Jenny and Screech full version, all 3 songs in 1 video, 13 minutes or so long! Buckle in for it! 💙
Ok word, I've gotten a few of these comments now, I have missed the entire Jenny and Screech thing, never even heard of it. I'm happy about that, cuz I love Rens music and from what you all are saying, these one must be dope!
Great Breakdown! Can't wait for the trilogy!🔥❤️✌️
#Renagades Slaughter House and Money Ties are 🔥 🔥 🔥. Also Baggage with Ren * Chris Webby.
Love this one :) He did a story based trilogy called The Tale of Jenny & Screech. It's career transforming for him, an absolute must watch. But be warned that it literally formed it's own genre, called Bardcore, for a reason.
I will definitely be reacting to those, I was unaware of them, but the comments section here has been blowing it up, lol, so I'm excited! 👊🙏
You definitely need to do the tales trilogy after catching the Screech reference. Ren does this in a few of his songs, referencing some of his earlier material. And the tales trilogy is absolutely phenomenal.
I'm gonna do those this weekend, I'm excited, lots of comments about the trilogy, so I'm on! It!
That was awesome. You caught a lot of it actually, and on the first listen! I learn from you breaking things down. Thanks for your Ren passion! ❤
Thank you so much, I appreciate it! 🙏
Every time I see you dropping a REN reaction I’m in there, like swim wear.
I really appreciate how you listen and how much you’re able to catch. If Ren’s hold on me ever loosens to let me enjoy other artists again, I’ll start watching your other reactions as well. But I’m only two years in and see no sign of it loosening this far 😂.
Please do more Ren! Please do much more Ren!
I need my daily fix of Ren - even his most challenging songs always lift my mood. I can still appreciate other artists too, such as Chinchilla & Raye. My new years resolution would be for Ren to become a major world star IRL.
You did a wonderful reaction to this playful song. So now look for the Tales of Jenny and Screech.
I love you caught the Stranger Things bars. It amazes me how many reactors don't catch them. But maybe they've never watched it. 🤷♀️
I watched all the seasons (so far) with my daughter. Loved em, although I do prefer the 1st season. I am a big fan of Stephen King, i have all his books, and Stranger Things pays many a homage to King.
Man you totally reminded me about that Freddy Kruger rhyme! It never leaves ya
Crazy right lol
awesome reaction! I think you caught more bars than all the other reactors i've seen :) can give knox a run for his money.
Thank you man, Knox is the king tho👊😎
Absolutely LOVE the beat in this song.
The Ren song I'm listening to is always my favorite. 😂
Man if you want to get yanked back to the old skool days, check out his _What You Want_ and you will THRIVE 💕
Fun reaction! One of my favorites of Ren rapping. Thanks for listening to this one!
Freddy was a scary MF'er as a kid bro.. I was born in '81 and between Freddy Kreuger and the clown from IT I'm surprised I turned out half normal
Facts 💯
I was born in the 70’s but i was definitely young enough to be traumatized by Freddy,lol that rhyme about Freddy is something you never forget,and i even stayed up past midnight at nights to make sure he couldn’t get me.😂😂😂as an adult he was more humorous than scary but as a young teen he was definitely not funny.i feel you dude. But you should give it another watch as an adult because it takes the horror out of Freddy. 🙂great reaction. Oh and NOBODY was a scarier clown than Tim Curry as the clown in IT!! Man i had active nightmares about that clown just from READING THE BOOK…watching Tim Curry portray him was even MORE TERRIFYING!! Lol
Love you love the dude. Thanks!
👊💯
I love this one! it is an air-raid siren in the background.
As someone who has never listened to rap before Ren it was really interesting to learn more about it from you. Thanks, i enjoyed you reaction a lot x
Thanks for listening, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I really loved this song.
I'm guessing you haven't heard the tales of Jenny and screech? Oh wow! I need to see your take on it, will blow your socks off!
Gonna start em this weekend!
Ren said he was thinking about “streets of rage” when he made this beat. 😂 SNES homies get that reference. Ren is a 90’s baby for sure.
God I loved Super Nintendo!
“Turn it up to 11”. Stranger Things + This is Spinal Tap!
💕🌸🐰🌸💕
I've never seen stranger things, so thanks for the 11 reference. However, he said "turn it up to 11", which is also a reference to Spinal Tap. Ren loves to bring in multiple meanings whenever he can and is highly self-referencial in a way that ties multiple themes and ideas together. Wonton soup also shows up in Love Music part 4...
For some old school style Ren, you should check out his homage to the Beastie Boys with his song, “What You Want”.
Oh yes, that one is fire :)
He already did it.
@@Dr.Brummel Oh I wasn’t sure, must have missed that or can’t remember.
Given Ren's well-documented health issues, I don't think it's a stretch to say that the symptoms he describes halfway through are ones he's suffered from at some point.
If you wanted to take it a step further, the entire track could be a double, about him being the illest in the slang sense, but also a way of reclaiming his life and career from his medical issues, owning the fact that he is so unwell, but continues to put out next-level tracks.
He's the illes GOAT 🩵👌🏼
One of my favorites ❤
He's so good ❤
That was fun. Believe it’s a healing year coming …
WINNER, WINNER CHICKEN DINNER, You have made a bonafide fan out of me with your sick reactions.. I went on a little binge ❤ love your energy. You are a true renegade 🎉 🥂🍾
Thank you very much! I'm so glad. I appreciate it 👊✌️
Get it popping hot rockin..pop rocks candy
Ahhh yes of course! I missed that
Hey Jared, thanks for your reaction 👍❤
Your enthusiasm is so great, it totally carried me away 😀
I would also be interested in your reaction to The Tales of Jenny & Screech. It's no rappin' but excellent storytelling. If you do it, the easiest is to take the 13:30 long official music video. It contains all three parts in the correct order 😉.
Thank you, I will do those songs, I have not heard of them
@@TheLVME The tales are something to say WTF again 😀.
@@TheLVME And thanks for your mail. Wish you a great 2025 👍
Can you please do Chris Webby featuring Ren Baggage? It's not Chris's normal flow, but it's reminiscent of Hotel California. Thunder by Webby showcases him better but Ren goes sick hard in Baggage. Thank you ❤
Thank you, and yes I most definitely will do that song. I haven't heard of it, and a flow reminiscent of Hotel Cali sounds VERY interesting! I'll check it out this weekend.
Every Ren song is my favourite too.
💯
Dude!! Most of these lyrics and references are lost on most reactors. It’s frustrating listening to these guys writing this song off when if you know you know .
Another great reaction man, we appreciate you
🍻🇨🇦
You have another Tyson-bar in his Nas retake Halftime
I always wondered which Tyson he was talking about because US has Mike Tyson and UK heavyweight Tyson Fury. Later, when I heard Ren do Halftime Retake then he says 'Mike without an earlobe bite' so I think its Mike Tyson he's talking about in both songs.
@longkesh1971 It is!
Thank you. You are great at the break down.
So enjoyed watching you lovin it! He really us the illest of our time.
I absolutely love your breakdowns man you are the man to listen to for the knowledge 👏🏻👏🏻
Haha this was a fun reaction (1) I had a Homeboy shirt I was obsessed with. White with just black block letters. I’ve thought about finding one or having one made again. And I also watched the same movies too early and scared myself and I still can’t watch them either 😂😂😂. Were you in my neighborhood? Haha. I love this one, Ren put any doubts of his abilities and his wordplay in this one. I have dealt with a lot like Ren medically, very similar. So this one is one I use to work my brain (I had meningitis and it effed up a lot of things) but at times I can’t talk and I will listen to songs, often reactions, that’s how I got into watching them but I will go over these until I can say the whole thing. Ren is good when I want to challenge myself lol. Genesis is my main one I use for that. It gets my brain moving in the right direction. The alphabet soup/nascar/mercury/Freddie ……to the “ahhhh sh*t, I don’t feel so well…..”such a GREAT section of this song! The subject I obviously identify with so this is actually one of my favs.
If you haven’t done the full trilogy Tales of Jenny and Screech…..and Violet, you definitely should. Leave the captions off and make sure you pay attention (although you don’t miss much ever so you’ll be fine 😉). I’ll have to look through your Ren reactions and I could suggest more.
Wow thank you for sharing that. Much respect. I have not listened to the Jenny and Screech, I don't think I have ever even heard of those ones. Will definitely do them. Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts, I appreciate you 👊
He did say that he often had to leave in the middle of taping because his illness bent him in half. I figured that is exactly what it would look like.
Damn thats rough. Ren is tough. I know how autoimmune issues can destroy lives. The fact he still grinds is inspiring.
The bars after “I don’t feel so well” include actual symptoms & side effects of his chronic illness & treatments of misdiagnosis. The stutter, ticks, brain fog, psychosis etc. (I’ve heard him speak about these exact symptoms). So I think this song is about his illness as a rapper & his chronic illness as well. So glad I found your channel!! Love the reactions
Allow me to correct you!... "WE" adore Ren... not "I"!.... With Ren there is no place for reserved seats... he IS ours all!...
Thank you for the reaction.
The siren is a fall out siren for when the bombing was happening in the world wars
Oh wow I didn't know that, thank you
fantastic reaction yet again
Happy New Year, Jared. Hope it brings you much peace and purpose. Nice to see you smiling w/a lighter tune. Either way, always love your passionate sharing of OG knowledge. ❤
Ps Freddy & Jason messed with my sleep hard back when, too. Also haven’t gone back. You’re right that it’s likely corny and I don’t want the monsters of my childhood to be dethroned. That’s sad, somehow. Some things are best left to memory.
Happy New Year to you too, and thank you for the kind words! 👊
I am LOVING your reactions and sharing all your knowledge and insight from hip hop and rap history!!
Just picked up license to ill on vinyl. Always enjoy your reactions and loving your background as always cheers Ren is illest sick boy there is killing pigs of greed along the way. Tyson pic flex. Happy New Years
👊🎉 happy New Year!
From a British nursery rhyme: "Five six pick up sticks", Ren is a fracken genius!!!
Great reaction loved it
This track is🔥🔥🔥 if you haven't done The Hunger yet i think you will like it
Loved your reaction!
Glad you enjoyed it! 👊
Loved that Kruger memory.
Hes a student of hip hop for sure. No wrong turns with Ren... he'll make your jaw drop most times. The hunger to prove it again... 7 sins to go nuts 😉
Loved your reaction & I love Ren as well. Subbed!!
Ren is Iconic
You're the first reactor I've seen carry the Freddy Krueger theme through the Queen reference. Finally!
Ren always posts his original lyrics in the video description or top comment. I’ve seen other reactors pull them up on a diff screen just for themselves to reference. May not be your style but they’re there if you need them 💕
I think you are my favourite reactor because I can relate to you. Both old school hiphop heads (I’m 44 and been listening since late 80s) we both are single dads. Just keep up the good work.
If you get a chance (pretty sure you haven’t covered it) Murderer by Ren just a super great song and a little Old school due to having some dancehall influence in there
If you just want some nostalgia Ren has a song 1990’s about the year he was born and the first decade of his life. It’s a fun song.
Screech is from the song "The tale of Jenny and Screech". You definitely need to check that out
By the way, Ren mentioning the swanton bomb or the Hardy Brothers always is a small reference to Joe as well. In chapter 1 of his autobiographical readings Ren tells that Joe did a swanton bomb when they first met. And AFAIK he did it every now and then to cheer up his friends.
I thought Ren mentions the swanton bomb in some more songs but I could only find 'Illest of Our Time' and 'Losing it'.
I’m coughing catchy bronchitis, I thought. As in spitting. Dunno. Haven’t checked. I like your take on our genius. Have a sub!
To follow your search of the word ill in music - Plan B's track ill manors is a must listen. ❤
Great reaction thank you
Love your reactions! Ren, FIR, Tom MacDonald all my top artists i currently listen to. Been a Renegade for 2 years, HOG for almost 5 years and a fan of Ronnie for almost 20 years (since his days in Escape The Fate - pre-prison.) Love all genres!
Still use 80's and 90's slang as well, born in 1979 so that's my growing up period!
Word! Thanks for hanging out and commenting too, I appreciate it. God I still am surprised when I hear how long Ronnie has been around.
Just a little nerd fact, the "so far from Reach I'm the type to kill a Pacifist" is a Halo video game reference. Reach being the name of a planet in one of the games and Pacifists being the specific group of aliens you are fighting.
If you want some of Ren's appreciation of hip hop heritage, definitely check out What You Want.
Great breakdown 👍🏽🐷✌️🐰
Thanks for watching! 👊
Dope reaction
Reactors all have that problem. I guess we can all relate. The next one might always be our favorite.
You gotta check out the Tales of Jenny and Screech! (And Violet)
Loving Your reactions ❤️ Keep them coming 🔥
You should react to Seven sins by Ren.
Also songs of Ren & Chinchilla live versions ( Chalk outline and How to be me). 💕
AND after that Chinchillas own songs like Fingers (live hunger tv) and 1:5 (live).
I had the same thing happen to me with nightmare on elm street at the grand old age of 7! Fuck Freddie!! 😂😂😂
If you're loving rappity rap ren then wicked ways has to be your next destination down the rabbithole!
Thanks for your reaction.
Having listened to all of them, agan and again, my favourite is Castles Made of Sand. The only problem is it is an extra track you get from bandicam when you buy the delux version of his Sick Boi album. Maybe save the best till last
❤❤❤
AWSOME
👍👍
Alright, i think its officially time you did the tale of Jenny and Screech, you called for it yourself, it only makes sense.
I would do the trio in one vid personally but it's your channel, your call im watching either way 👌
🔥
I wish I could give it a few more thumbs up
Thank you 👊
Turn it up to 11. That's Spinal Tap. The amp goes to 11 to make 10 louder! Very British. Class film spinal tap. Funny
Everyone is going to comment on the trilogy that he does, but you should definitely check that out. I mean just his display of guitar playing a storytelling and to write a masterpiece like that is crazy. It’s not really rap and I guess parts of our rap, yeah I guess it is everything now I think about itbut it’s an amazing trilogy. Screech is a crazy kid from the streets 14-year-old raised by the streets.
Sounds amazing. It's the first on my list for tomorrow morning 👊
Just curious if the tattoos under your left arm are in the high speech from gilead? 🏴🏴🏴
I'm wearing my Ren and Pig on the couch shirt. I can attest to the quality of his clothing this shit is thick and strong. Made in Bangladesh printed in USA. Other artists would charge more like 50 dollars for this quality. Just saying Ren putting out clothing as quality as his music.
I've also got his Sick Boi T Shirt from his UK merch store. Waiting for the Freckled angels Beanie.I like the idea that you can add a tip when you buy his merch.
Dude I didn't even realize Ren has gear, how TF did I not know that? I'm gonna grab a shirt. I've gotten merch from Tom MacDonald Adam Calhoun and Madchild and it's all been quality, gotta get some from Ren too! Thanks 👊
@TheLVME That's too bad that track suit he wore in slaughter house sold out quick. I think he might get more because they sold out so quickly. I'll let you know when he releases again.
I throughly enjoyed your breakdown of this reaction 😊
Also, I didn't know this till recently but the fact that Ren looks cut like a Spartan isn't due to him working out so much as due to his inability to eat very much other than meat due to his condition. So he is basically made of protein. I think most of the things that most of us have in our diet he has to take medication for because he cannot eat it.
Run DMC and Fat Boys were the first time I heard it
I loved the Fat Boys, first heard them as a little kid and the beatboxing blew my mind
Fight the Power! ✊LOL PE!
That would be a turned down air raid siren
On a recent Pete and Bas reaction you asked for someone better! Ghetts! Please check out Ghetts my guy.
Never heard of em, will definitely check it out, thank you 👊
Happy 2025 Jared. Your graffiti backgrounds are the illest
Say word!! Thank you! Happy New Year 👊
Dude, you need to do a video 3 songs in 1. Jenny, screech and violets tales in orders
I almost didn't watch this, due to the clickbait title on the thumbnail. It's not necessary, especially with Ren. The Renegades will come regardless. They're probably the most invested and loyal fanbase out there! They're also overwhelmingly kind and generous. I'm something of an outlier, lol. You don't need to utilise clickbait to get and audience for Ren reactions. If anything, it could be counterproductive.
Having said all that, I shall sit back and enjoy the reaction. Everyone deserves a chance and you may be a wonderful reactor, for 'all' that I know. :)
When I hear I turn it up to 11 I think Spinal tap.😅
I listened to a little bit of Public Enemy Easy E and Snoop but i was more into SnP Biggie and other mainstream. Anchorage Alaska didn't have much access to underground hiphop let alone battle rap.
Anchorage huh? I been there! My grandfather was actually the Postmaster there for several years, I went up for summer when I was 14, went fishing on Kenei River for King Salmon, enjoyed the MASSIVE fruits and veggies and long days. What a beautiful place.
@TheLVME I live I Juneau now. Anchorage is becoming more like Seattle with homeless and crime. But I do remember the fruits and veggies from the Matanuska Vally. All that sunshine...
Happy New Year brother this year is gonna be the ILLEST!!! I STILL TALK OLD SKOOL BRO LOL IM WITH U WORD
👊💯😎
