@@michellemullin7127 I get that desire as many of you love Tom McDonald but I don’t think he could handle the leftist Ren. Ren could handle Tom.

I keep noticing how cool and super laid back you are, that is until you react to Ren. You become awe struck and animated. It's great what Ren can do to people!

Damn, knew he had skill with rap but this is unexpected. Puts even more respect on Ren's name in my opinion. Wow, how musically inclined can one dude b. Thanks 4 showcasing this guy. Keep up what u do, stay healthy
I get the impression that Ren's musical influences are really eclectic. If you have an appreciation of such a wide range of music and have the creativity and skills to incorporate it all then your options are limitless.
Its my favourite too 👍 can't stop listen to that song... and my 5 years old daughter too... she said "play the fast speaking one"😂 best wishes from germany, go on with your work👍 i like your breakdowns of the songs🎉
This man can seriously rap. Check out Losing It (FISHER rap retake), absolutely stellar rapping and use of the existing buildup and drop structures in the original.
My grandfather died from lyme disease, i feel terrible for Ren, its an awful, debilitating disease. My grandfather couldn't leave the house for 30+ years he was that weak. I hope medicine has gotten better in today time. Get well REN
The treatment basically drove him into pyschosis... a known effect of the drugs that they were treating him with... die or go insane, nice options eh? Right now he is in Canada getting related surgeries and getting daily IV treatments of cell stems to repair some of the damage.
I come back to your reaction repeatedly because I enjoy your massive appreciation. Ren is incredibly well versed in so many ways, and I don't just mean rhymes. There's no filler in his lyrics, it all means something. Alpha, Beta, and Delta rays are forms of radiation emitted after an atomic bomb drops, and are why you'd need that fallout shelter he mentions at the end of that bar. Mind-blowingly clever. I suspect he just loves wordplay so much he puts those sorts of arcane references in for his own pleasure, as most people don't seem to catch them.
Alpha beta and delta waves also refer to particular frequency bands of brain waves that can be measured to indicate relaxed wakefulness or types of cognitive processes.
I really like ya reaction ... Taking the time and doing it right and breaking it down with some reasoning and understanding. You needed a million people on your channel my man
GET UM You're the first reactor I've seen mention those little background shouts and that shit is MY JUICE!!! I headknock so fucken hard on every "Get Um!" ❤️🔥 And much love for running it all the way through again, I can't get enough of this one. Great react, you do an excellent job of not being fake and ridiculous, giving the music the serious respect it deserves 🤟
He said he started out wanting to be a DnB producer, so he is coming from a production background. I remember he actually shared the stems to the song, so people can do their own remix.
You’re the first person to sit down and actually break down the lyrics and I love your input as far as rap music goes. I’m 61 years old but by everything this guy does I love and I am gonna check out your stuff. Dope reaction.
Thanks for taking the time to look up the lyrics to this. The times before when I listened to The Hunger I thought he was saying "Amy Winehouse." Finding out he was saying "Django Reinhardt" is phenomenal. I mean, I've known Ren has dived deep into music history-you can just tell from the way he writes his songs and the busking covers he does-but it takes a certain level of time and dedication to reach the point of knowing Django Reinhardt. What a classy namedrop. Reinhardt was a jazz guitarist from way in the early days. Very skilled. People tend to remember him today because two of his left hand fingers were basically inoperable, which is a helluva barrier to guitar playing. He ended up being pretty innovative so he could do what he needed with the two digits he he could use. Here's a pretty sweet video of him in action: ruclips.net/video/aZ308aOOX04/видео.html
Yea Ren's Hella eclectic with his style. Django Reinhardt is a legend. You can tell he's tapping into everything. People put themselves in boxes and he refuses to do that. I mostly listen to metal but you can't find a genre that doesn't have something to offer me so Ren's style is right up my alley. What a creative force. 👍
I think Ren actually listened to Django, not just name dropping. He’s talked about being raised with a very broad range of music. It is fascinating to me. Lately it seems so many people stick themselves into one genre and don’t explore. I was born in 1973 but know a lot of music from the 50s and 60s because my dad exposed me to everything. I was a classical oboe player (Bach, Beethoven, Chopin) but moved between Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry, Air Supply and Chuck Mangione, Duran Duran and Metallica, and Goo Goo Dolls and Korn. I have found it to be a blessing. I think it is why Ren is his own genre of music.
Heya.. Ren has quite a lot of rap songs. He wrote The Hunger in his apartment by himself, produced, recorded, etc. It's how he makes a lot of his music when he's not with his band.
That will be the actual sun appearing out from behind the clouds. Don’t forget he’s in England, in summer time we don’t always get the sun, we do get rain, and looking at the background and the ground it looks like it had been raining.
"LEONARD COHEN"!! One of the greatest poet songwriters EVER with one of the most distinct voices you'll hear. Where on earth have you been man? MARS? 😄✌️
"I'm on my Knox Hill today" Lmfao okay yeah you're on point earned a sub that was good, I'd love to see you two duet a reaction to something. I respect the way you present yourself while reaction to another artist's content, you're doing the game the way it needs to be done but being respectful about it and it is noticed and appreciated.
Haha I love how you just keep replaying it 😂 Very understandable though as this is pure fire. Everything Ren does he does so damn well. Multitalented musical genius.
You know I've heard this song quite a few times and you are the only one who is described it to where I could actually figure out what they were talking about when they were talking about the noises in rhythm I didn't hear it at first but with you pointing it out I do hear him in the background. And as far as I know yes that's all him. He is just such an amazing artist.
Please review Ren - Losing it (fisher rap retake) Loving the Ren reviews! He is finally getting the recognition he deserves. Also I think he was born in 1990. He did a song called 1990s, again decent song!
What’s crazy is that 1990 songs was when he was a baby artist. And it is still brilliant. His lyrics…. How the hell can he do this?! He is absolutely brilliant .
love ren , brother i couldnt wait to be 30 , now im 73 and that happened really freaking fast , be patient , youll be an old man before you know it . enjoy 30
His beatboxing over that head nod at the end is everything. You were talking about how the light changes when he jumps- he is a pro at finding opportunities to use what's on scene as he did in Bittersweet Symphony when he noticed a street panel and turned it into a symbolic headstone at a funeral while filming. I also noticed he uses the sideways beam to change into his cockier devilish persona. He was born in 1991 as far as I know. Oh, and yeah, the Primark car park- Primark sort of akin to an Old Navy in the States.
I appreciate the honest reaction and the fact you see what Ren says, and for no other reason going give you a thumbs up, I have checked out some of your other stuff 👍 but the only critidsm is stop being little handsome 😊 live with it 😀 enjoyed 👍 x
My favourite of your Ren reactions yet, and that is from an excellent baseline. Thoroughly enjoyed that. And that is British weather for you. Hi Ren was complete Take 4, I gather.
Ren inspired me to start designing tracksuits. I have a particular fondness for the jacket he's wearing in this video and the more I see it the more I think I might base an entire collection around Ren and his music so I don't think it's just musicians that are getting inspired right now. I haven't designed anything for a few years and suddenly I'm having loads of creative ideas. I'll definitely check out your music but I'm in no position to offer a critique!
@@NoCanDu I know! I actually had a jacket like that but in white red and blue. I got it when I went to Cape Canaveral in Florida and it had rockets on the back.I really wish I'd kept it now.
It really is inspiring to see how contagious one persons creative energy can be for so many people like I need to cop a jacket when you finish them cause its a little cold in my shop Rens got me out here trying to carve a coolibah bowl that can channel Nina Simone.
Django Reinhardt was a great jazz guitarist, in the Hot Club De France with Stefan Grappelli... The interesting thing about Django is he lost a finger and a half in a fire. So he played guitar with 2.5 fingers on his fretting hand
Primark is a kind of good value British clothing chain and Toblerone is a popular unusual shaped chocolate bar. I think ‘ Trainers’ is the only word in English for trainers. I don’t think it’s slang just the word for them.

I admire you taking respectable time to go back, breakdown bars, flows, and schemes. I also adore your name drops of fellow reaction channels of Cliff Beats and Knox Hill. While they both are great I vibe with your style of reaction as well its humble, human, and honest complete with a more relaxed down to earth vibe. You deserve a subscribe thank you for taking the time to react to so many of ren's tracks truly races the mind. keep up the great work of your own I dig it truly can't wait for more.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 For giving this track the love and respect it deserves! It is my go to before work & my son listens to it before all of his basketball games. Just something about it that makes you get hyped and motivated - makes you feel the hunger🔥🔥! Ren has quite a few tracks where he shows his rap skills - Power, Genesis, Losin' It are just a few more examples! Loved your breakdown and appreciation of the track and Ren's talent! I will check out your channel and some of your tracks also to see what you got ❤
Hahahah I love the Knox Hill shout out. I was already enjoying your vibe, but on that, you got a new sub. ALso didn't realized the Willy Wonka shout out which ties to the Toblerone later. Looking forward to your other content.
This might be my favorite reaction to this song. (And I've seen A LOT) I enjoyed your perspective. I assume you've done Losin' It by now. I'm going to go check. That is my absolute favorite Ren Song. I pre ordered the album that came out this past Friday. I'm SO anxious for it to come! (I bought the Limited Edition CD. I guess I should have bought the digital version too. I can't wait to crank that song, driving in my car. Oh, and I'm sure someone already answered you by now, but I think he is 33 years old.
Great reaction Footnote. Jessie Owens wasn't just a track athlete. Jessie won some gold medals in the Berlin Olympics of 1936, the Olympics that were supposed to show the superiority of the Aryan German Superpeople. Jessie won his gold medals with that backdrop in front of Adolf Hitler.
Great reaction my man as stated in other comments losing it is fantastic for his rapping and love music 1,2,and 3 amazing these 3 are from way back enjoy love it.
Really enjoy your reactions to Ren. Lot of respect brother! 🙏 I highly recommend Love music part 1 and part 2 and part 3. One and two are 7 years old and part 3 is 2 years old. You will LOVE IT. 😁
I know I'm late to the party on this reaction, but I still want to say, it was you sharing the GoFundMe link on the Tale of Jenny & Screech that got me over there, and just as his treatment was unfortunately doubled, so too was his fundraising goal, due in no small part to people like you pushing it and urging people to support him, so you should know that you are making a significant difference, and it's greatly appreciated, even from those of us who are just fans who want to see him well. (also, your reactions are fantastic ;)
So glad you reacted to this. I almost sent this to you and I was like, Wait - I only know Ren because of Athony's reaction, he'll get here if he hasn't already filmed a reaction to it. And I was right. I love this track so much.
I'v never been much of fan of rap or listened rap at all.. i remember some Cypress Hill things from the youngster years. But now that music taste has gotten wider and this is NICE (even thought i do miss many lyrics, gotta check if i can find them somewhere). These changes reminds progressive rock's style to suddenly jump on different tempo or riff. I also like your reactions on these Ren things... On this even thought i missed the lyrics a lot, but these rythyms and visuals are just awesome. And gotta let these lyrics sink in a bit and listen again :D
The artist that finally got me interested in rap. I've been a metalhead since I was 12. I like some hiphop and rap artists but none have inspired me to check out others before. Oh, right, and Ren was born 1990. Two years older than me.
Dude everything about your response and presentation is humble excellence. I’m so impressed by how much I learned about this song and big credit to the structure and foundation that you presented it in. Song 🔥 🔥🔥 your Breakdown 🔥🔥🔥
❤ Ren. But he is killing my data usage. Lol what an amazing talent. From guitar, piano, singing, and rapping. And producing. Genius at his craft. Please know you are so loved. We all cannot wait until you feel well or much better . Prayers for you 🙏 . Seriously my data is over the limit within a week. But what a great way to use it. ❤
Like you mention at 5:05 Ren has some influence from the Beastie Boys, and other 90s rap. A song you should check out by Ren is What you want, as it’s directly inspired by the beastie boys and other 90s rap music.

I keep noticing how cool and super laid back you are, that is until you react to Ren. You become awe struck and animated. It's great what Ren can do to people!
He's 33 and a musical GENIUS
The charts in the UK were really diverse. It was not unusual to hear, reggae, ska, electronic, new romantic, metal, pop, punk, rap, could have their place next to each other in the main music chart. You can hear these influences in Rens music.
Lyrics
Poison in my veins lights a flame in my brain
That maintains the pain that may change my frame of mind
Blind, I design rhymes, intertwined, double time
Genuine Frankenstein
I made a monster
Conquer, music scene, golden ticket, Wonka
Conjour, lyrics in my belly, I got thunder
Younger, everybody wishes they were younger
The older I'm getting, the more I feel the hunger (Get 'em)
Beltеr like a welter wеight helter-skelter need alka-seltzer (Get 'em)
Alpha, Beta, Delta, I help you into the fall out shelter (Get 'em)
Melt a mind or two with these rhymes,
You might find you never felt (Get 'em)
A feeling like this feeling, be believing I'm a demon, I'm a devil
Fuck the game, completed every level, I'm a vessel
For spirits to channel out of my lyrics, I'm a rebel
I raise my fist, the anti-capitalistic pissed I revel
In society collapsing; Fantastic, now pump the treble
Tick-tock off the top of the tip of my tongue, I am tapping telepathy
Terrify them with the terrible telekinesis tantrum;
Yes, I torture the enemy
Slowing the flow and then growing the flow,
And I swallow the flow like a Toblerone (Get 'em)
I'mma feast on the flow, I'm a beast with the flow
Then I'm switching it up and I'm taking it low
Kiddie with a black heart in a car park by Primark
Jamming Django Reinhardt
Living like a rockstar, refine rap to a fine art, Vincent Van Gogh
I start
Making my mark like Frankie Sinatra
King, call me Arthur
And my style is homegrown like growing cali weed
Don't need no personal trainer, I got trainers on my feet (Ay!)
You know I got the soul in my bowl when I eat
You know I'm staying grounded when I grind up my beef
But if you got a problem, my brother,
I might just put on some rubber gloves
And just choke you 'till larynx ruptures,
And blood, it just bubbles up
And the bubbles just double up, and you struggle, but luck is up
'Cause I'm subtle at covering up the trouble
Cover up the crime scene, 1990, that's my scene!
My teen years were spent rolling the Thai-green
Obscene fiend in a pair of baggy jeans
Putting backy with the green, roll a fatty dopamine
Starts flowing, my cerebellum glowing
The pendulum is slowing
I'm swinging and I'm swaying but I don't know where I'm going
Mind running Jessie Owens, Hallelujah, Leonard Cohen
All these seeds that I've been sewing slowly growing like trees
I grow, then I preach
Scrap that, I teach
Teach over beats
To all those that seek
Teach on these streets
Streets can be bleak
But bleak was the place where I rose to my feet
Thank you 🌻🇦🇺

Thank you!! I've been a fan of The Prodigy since the early 90s (yeah, I'm old) but I couldn't put my finger on some of what I was hearing here. Fire!!

Think that's my favorite out of his rap too. Right here right now is fun too.
Yeah I second that!
Cannot help it… I dance like an absolute tit every single time that song comes on 😂
The hunger and Losing it are my favourite by far (Not taking Hi ren and The tale's video's into calculation).. He is so versitile!
Ren exceeded his donation goal within 24hrs. #RENegades are amazing!
I saw when I dropped him some shekels on the gofundme account, it is like 103,000 pounds now.
He has garnered a lot of love from all those who RENsonate with him - his music is pure RENergy😁

What’s crazy is that 1990 songs was when he was a baby artist. And it is still brilliant. His lyrics…. How the hell can he do this?! He is absolutely brilliant .
Ren is inspiring a lot of people! ❤🔥🍻
love ren , brother i couldnt wait to be 30 , now im 73 and that happened really freaking fast , be patient , youll be an old man before you know it . enjoy 30
His beatboxing over that head nod at the end is everything. You were talking about how the light changes when he jumps- he is a pro at finding opportunities to use what's on scene as he did in Bittersweet Symphony when he noticed a street panel and turned it into a symbolic headstone at a funeral while filming. I also noticed he uses the sideways beam to change into his cockier devilish persona. He was born in 1991 as far as I know. Oh, and yeah, the Primark car park- Primark sort of akin to an Old Navy in the States.
So good you played it twice 😆 Love it !!!
I appreciate the honest reaction and the fact you see what Ren says, and for no other reason going give you a thumbs up, I have checked out some of your other stuff 👍 but the only critidsm is stop being little handsome 😊 live with it 😀 enjoyed 👍 x
Dude your analysis is stand out. I’m picking up on new things like the change in lighting. Guy is genius
My favourite of your Ren reactions yet, and that is from an excellent baseline. Thoroughly enjoyed that. And that is British weather for you. Hi Ren was complete Take 4, I gather.
Ren inspired me to start designing tracksuits. I have a particular fondness for the jacket he's wearing in this video and the more I see it the more I think I might base an entire collection around Ren and his music so I don't think it's just musicians that are getting inspired right now. I haven't designed anything for a few years and suddenly I'm having loads of creative ideas. I'll definitely check out your music but I'm in no position to offer a critique!
That's so cool!
Do it!
I LOVE his jacket! Grew up on 80s new wave, so when he turned, I was like , “Yeah!” Good luck! 😘
@@NoCanDu I know! I actually had a jacket like that but in white red and blue. I got it when I went to Cape Canaveral in Florida and it had rockets on the back.I really wish I'd kept it now.
It really is inspiring to see how contagious one persons creative energy can be for so many people like I need to cop a jacket when you finish them cause its a little cold in my shop Rens got me out here trying to carve a coolibah bowl that can channel Nina Simone.
Ren is musicality, artistry at a cellular level... arrived in this world spitting those cries!!💫💥❤🔥xx
Losing it is great, hold on is also one of my favs
If you want an old school beastie boys vibe, "what you want" is what you want, it's amazing 👏
Django Reinhardt was a great jazz guitarist, in the Hot Club De France with Stefan Grappelli...
The interesting thing about Django is he lost a finger and a half in a fire. So he played guitar with 2.5 fingers on his fretting hand
Primark is a kind of good value British clothing chain and Toblerone is a popular unusual shaped chocolate bar.
I think ‘ Trainers’ is the only word in English for trainers. I don’t think it’s slang just the word for them.
In the States, we call trainers 'sneakers', 'tennis shoes', or 'running shoes'.
daps?
Loved your reaction bro.. your attention to detail and playing it through twice: respect. Ren is next level and rap world has been put on notice.
Ren is just the Embodiment of BardCore.
Really good reaction. Thanks 👍

Love this part
He does it all. The lyrics, instrumentals and instruments, produces. It is all him. I don’t know who films his videos though.
I love that break down. Thank you!
This song is something of a punk/jazz mashup. His cadence and switches are like Charlie Parker.
Again, loved your reaction. Stay Safe.
I believe Ren is 31 or so , there is an article written about him, from the Daily Mail from 2016 that states he was 25 years old then.
Honestly Ren took me by suprise.. It's like a addiction watching his video's, and people reacting to it. Love your take! Subbed :)
It’s an absokute addiction for thousands of hundreds of thousands. It’s def bringing him to stardom 😊
Always love your take. Cheers.
Love your breakdowns on Ren’s rhymes great to hear an experts take on them. Please do ‘what you want’ such a fun track .🤟🏻
Here for you and #ren always ❤️
I admire you taking respectable time to go back, breakdown bars, flows, and schemes. I also adore your name drops of fellow reaction channels of Cliff Beats and Knox Hill. While they both are great I vibe with your style of reaction as well its humble, human, and honest complete with a more relaxed down to earth vibe. You deserve a subscribe thank you for taking the time to react to so many of ren's tracks truly races the mind. keep up the great work of your own I dig it truly can't wait for more.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 For giving this track the love and respect it deserves! It is my go to before work & my son listens to it before all of his basketball games. Just something about it that makes you get hyped and motivated - makes you feel the hunger🔥🔥! Ren has quite a few tracks where he shows his rap skills - Power, Genesis, Losin' It are just a few more examples! Loved your breakdown and appreciation of the track and Ren's talent! I will check out your channel and some of your tracks also to see what you got ❤
Hahahah I love the Knox Hill shout out. I was already enjoying your vibe, but on that, you got a new sub. ALso didn't realized the Willy Wonka shout out which ties to the Toblerone later. Looking forward to your other content.
I’m believe Ren is 31 years old. Please check out his rap song “Genesis” too (the original, not the acoustic or remix).
Bro I think I learned so much just by listening to use this was a great experience it's about a half an hour and it was an experience thank you
This might be my favorite reaction to this song. (And I've seen A LOT) I enjoyed your perspective. I assume you've done Losin' It by now. I'm going to go check. That is my absolute favorite Ren Song. I pre ordered the album that came out this past Friday. I'm SO anxious for it to come! (I bought the Limited Edition CD. I guess I should have bought the digital version too. I can't wait to crank that song, driving in my car. Oh, and I'm sure someone already answered you by now, but I think he is 33 years old.
"I'm running it back... I'm doing this again." Awesome
You are fast becoming my favourite reactor. Even more than Knox!
I'm a 51 year old mum but apparently he triple beats? In this retake of "Loosing it"... Its good...
Hey why have I not subbed to Anthony Ray music...my bad but I will now
Great reaction
Footnote. Jessie Owens wasn't just a track athlete. Jessie won some gold medals in the Berlin Olympics of 1936, the Olympics that were supposed to show the superiority of the Aryan German Superpeople. Jessie won his gold medals with that backdrop in front of Adolf Hitler.
Hitler left early hahahaha
Watching you react to this was awesome! I love how the Ren Vibe is inspiring you to share your music, loving it!
Great reaction my man as stated in other comments losing it is fantastic for his rapping and love music 1,2,and 3 amazing these 3 are from way back enjoy love it.
Really good reaction. I like how you looked up the things you didn’t know. 🖤🐇🕳️🤘
Ren is 33yrs old but he’s as knowledgeable as a 100yr old.He’s absolutely fantastic in everything he does ❤️
Really enjoy your reactions to Ren.
Lot of respect brother! 🙏
I highly recommend Love music part 1 and part 2 and part 3.
One and two are 7 years old and part 3 is 2 years old.
You will LOVE IT. 😁
I know I'm late to the party on this reaction, but I still want to say, it was you sharing the GoFundMe link on the Tale of Jenny & Screech that got me over there, and just as his treatment was unfortunately doubled, so too was his fundraising goal, due in no small part to people like you pushing it and urging people to support him, so you should know that you are making a significant difference, and it's greatly appreciated, even from those of us who are just fans who want to see him well.
(also, your reactions are fantastic ;)
Oh you just got a new sub because you pulled it back and did it again! Love it!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Awesome review!
So glad you reacted to this. I almost sent this to you and I was like, Wait - I only know Ren because of Athony's reaction, he'll get here if he hasn't already filmed a reaction to it. And I was right. I love this track so much.
Just came across your channel. Definitely will check out your music.
I'v never been much of fan of rap or listened rap at all.. i remember some Cypress Hill things from the youngster years. But now that music taste has gotten wider and this is NICE (even thought i do miss many lyrics, gotta check if i can find them somewhere). These changes reminds progressive rock's style to suddenly jump on different tempo or riff. I also like your reactions on these Ren things... On this even thought i missed the lyrics a lot, but these rythyms and visuals are just awesome. And gotta let these lyrics sink in a bit and listen again :D
The artist that finally got me interested in rap. I've been a metalhead since I was 12. I like some hiphop and rap artists but none have inspired me to check out others before.
Oh, right, and Ren was born 1990. Two years older than me.
Dude everything about your response and presentation is humble excellence. I’m so impressed by how much I learned about this song and big credit to the structure and foundation that you presented it in. Song 🔥 🔥🔥 your Breakdown 🔥🔥🔥
thanks for introducing me to REN. this is dope. great breakdown too. cheers
🔥🔥🔥🔥FIRE TRACK🔥🔥🔥🔥
❤ Ren. But he is killing my data usage. Lol what an amazing talent. From guitar, piano, singing, and rapping.
And producing. Genius at his craft.
Please know you are so loved. We all cannot wait until you feel well or much better . Prayers for you 🙏 .
Seriously my data is over the limit within a week. But what a great way to use it. ❤
Like you mention at 5:05 Ren has some influence from the Beastie Boys, and other 90s rap.
A song you should check out by Ren is What you want, as it’s directly inspired by the beastie boys and other 90s rap music.
