If you're new to Ren, i very highly recommend that you watch the tales of jenny and screech and violet's tale trilogy. They are 3 separate songs that tie together, and it's available as s single RUclips video. After that, I *love* what went wrong part 1! There's a part 2 to that song as well. I think you're hooked now. Good luck.
I have watched SO many youtubers react to this video, and it's because I want to. I will never get tired of seeing people watch this for the first time. It's so special. Edit; I figured out how i want to put things into words. This is one of the most HUMAN songs ever written.
His purely hip hop songs are lessons in mixing up flows and schemes to keep the listener on the edge of their seats. I don't normally listen to any rap, but I love his work.
This December will make 2 years of me being addicted to watching 1st time reactions to Hi Ren. I search RUclips daily thanks for my fix today excellent reaction . RENEGADES SWARM 👍✌️❤️
@@zeruty Ren is a storyteller, if you skip ahead it's like reading the back of the book without the middle. No context. I find the people that don't like it are generally trying to take it in as a rap song. If you consider it an art piece it's hits different.
Please bring your cousin on frequently, and do some more blindfolded reactions on surprising or unusual songs/bands/artists. He's amazing and he's got a bright personality.
I’ve listened to Hi Ren so many times that I’ve memorized the lyrics without ever reading them and I still weep freely nearly every time I hear it. Good reaction, guys.
This was a magnificent reaction. It’s such a joy witnessing someone experience Ren for the first time. I smiled through the entire video. Great analysis guys.
What?! At first I thought what in the world?! As I listened I realized how wonderful and profound Ren is. This 75yr old gets him! Love him. Why haven't I heard of him before now? I am a lifelong fan now! Thank you so much for introducing him to us!! 💜👏💜
Your brother nailed it! It’s the honesty! Why do people watch, and why do people like your videos? Think of it this way. We don’t know you but the reaction gives the viewer a lot of the same feelings they may have watching their kids opening Christmas presents.
It's not about "the entity in his head" or a split personality. The song makes clear, if you listen, and Ren himself has said, that the song isn't specifically about chronic illness or mental illness, nor is it specifically about the creative process, which is referenced even more frequently. It's about the human condition generally. We all face this. We all have internal dialogues. It's also about how darkness is part of existence, part of life, part of us and helps to make us who we are. It's not something that can be banished. Once this simple, if unpalatable, truth is accepted, life becomes that little bit easier and dark things a little easier to deal with and to mitigate. It's also recognising that although we like to paint everything black and white, in our heads, in reality things are rarely, if ever, that simple. The light is never entirely positive and the dark is never entirely negative. In fact, incredibly positive things, often unexpected, can emerge from the dark. I know this from my own experiences and Ren definitely knows it from his. It's been a recurring theme of his. Although we may not want to hear it while in the cloud, every cloud really does have a silver lining and that lining may contain incredible 'riches' but those riches can only be reached by travelling through the cloud.
Congratz on 200k BROO Love your content and your cousin is right brother. We love you for your honesty! And also I like his vibe a lot. Keep up the good stuff dude
I have been a subscriber of years for years and I love your channel. I loved your cousins reaction and I’m gonna hop on over there and subscribe to him.
Why do people watch you? Well, other than a voice that could read me a bedtime story, youre honest and, most of all, genuine. That shines through in every video and its addictive
60 year old Londoner, I’ve Seen this well over 100 times I love watching newbies discover Ren, pure genius. All his stuff is amazing, whatever genre what style it’s all brilliant.
The truth is that I don’t want to know how other people interpret these things so that I can decide how to interpret things. I am fascinated by the reactions of different people to different things. It’s fascinating because it’s a study of human psychology.
There are a lot of good songs. There is a bare few that are perfect. This is a perfect song. The composition, the lyrics, the performance itself is absolutely perfect. Beyond that it was about something so universally human as self-doubt.
I love the title "Hi ren" being at the begining and the end. to me its like the first one is saying "Hi, nice to meet you" and then the second one at the end is like its saying "Hi Ren, I see you now."
Great reaction - I absolutely appreciate your insights and expression. That inner voice can be so brutal, but he takes us through the lessons he’s learned. He’s so incredibly intelligent, eloquent and supremely talented. Generational doesn’t seem to be big enough - he’s going to change the world.
I love both of your takes on this video!! This video, just like a lot of NF’s videos, have been played and reaction videos made from actual doctors, therapists, psychologist, etc., etc. and what you guys are saying is exactly what this song represents! All of the negative, “sinful“ behavior like jealousy and envy, ambition, etc., the temptation, just all of it is one voice. Then you have who he is as an actual person fighting back against all of this other stuff that’s going on in his head. He is literally a mental health musical warrior!! There are a lot of people that will not, and do not have anything to do with the formal therapies, it has such a stigma, but they will listen to music and they can derive help from music when they would have no help otherwise!
Ren's brain damage formed after yrs of undiagnosed Lyme disease, it traveled to his brain causing neuropathy(felt like his brain was on fire at times) and sections of his memory getting damaged. Being told you are not really sick it is your mind making you sick also played heavy on his psyche. All that and slowly dying and not knowing why likely gave him some mental and emotional issues.
Yaaayyy! I love to see a new Renegade born! Hi Ren is such a life-changing video. It's always entertaining to me to watch the difference in how people react to the first "yodeling," and then the second "yodeling." The first one, people are typically wondering if a joke is being played on them, and then in the second one, they're grooving to it. Thanks for sharing Ren's music, Mr. Boyd. I'll definitely be checking out your cousin's channel.
Loved this! Love Renn but hearing your guy’s perspective helped me not feel strange in my appreciation! I live a day away from gone, every day! Knowing I’m not alone helps just getting to the next! Thanks🫶✌️🙏
For me the yodeling at the beginning is an example of art which is sharp and restrained while he attempts to contain his darker side. At the end its a lot more free and flows better while he accepts all parts of himself to perform
Actually it is two differently similar yodelings: In the first part it sounds strange, cringe and even scary, something you would only hear around a mental health hospital. It makes us feel unconfortable. But the second part sounds more like a relief, a celebration, a se se of freedom, we almost want to join him, sing and dance with him. Just like the whole song concept: two sides of the same coin.
I really love when you have your cousin on for reactions. Please put your cousin's channel in your comments. I tried to search for him but it didn't pop up. Thanks!
I was introduced to Ren with Hi Ren. But it's one of my least favourite songs of Ren now. It's a clever song. It's a fantastic introduction. People hear this and think "man, Ren is deep!" But this song barely scratched the depth of his talent!
Loved this guests reactions and insight. You have to have him back for more. And definiteley both of you reacting to the live version fo Murderer which will confirm your opening comments on this track. Pleeeeeeaase:):)
Mate, to be honest I think this is one of my top 3 best ever reaction videos. Your cousins face said it all. I was able to relive what I felt my first view, now 300+ watches in I still enjoy it. Great reaction!!! ❤❤❤❤ Knowing that you not alone anymore, help you heal!!! Its your honesty why I subbed and check in with you often mate. I can deal with honesty and you allow me to then decide how I feel, if you not honest you decide how I should feel and that's a dick move! It's also your honesty that made me say twice now you are a person when I pop over to Spain I would easily have a few beers with, honesty is powerful! Alo you doing a great job mate and I have watched so many of your clips, from ABBA, Bee Gees to Rap. Before Ren I did not lsiten to rap because I refuse to be [part of men degrading woman and constantly using the N word just like those slave owners did just to hurt other human beings. A wrong that must never be repeated and I can't be part of any of that. I will fight it with everything I am for sure but not part of that. Also your honest reactions slots right in with mine so watching you is a very easy choice for me. Then also, wtf, why is everyone in your family good looking, you had Britt on as well. I guess when god handed out good looks you guys were way ahead of me in the queue 😁😁
I struggled for so many years to be open and say how I feel. Time and life experiences change people and changed me. Please know we love your reviews because you say how you feel!!!!
I just love all these reactors from across the pond (and our side too) are so eager to show off an ill lad from north Wales' talent and complete uniqueness to anyone they can. Ren has fans of all ages, he's an absolute breath of fresh air to music and what we perceive to be good or successful. Thanks for sharing it on, I never tire of watching them
Yes, Ren has a TON of releases out there and Ren is so special to so many people including me. I absolutely love Ren and thank you for your reaction to this song with your cousin! It's great to see someone else get to be introduced to Ren and what he does!!!
He starts with a whimsical strumming and ooh ooh oohing then pulls you into the darkness then brings you out of the darkness with more whimsical strumming and ooh oohing and then his story. Truly powerful.
HIS CHANNEL: www.youtube.com/@RuppleberryReactz/videos
He just released a song two days ago called “Slaughter House” y’all should definitely check out as well.
Safe travels
🤛👊😎👍
🔥🌳🌬️💨
Ah, that boi is hooked now... just like the rest of us LOL
Loved your reaction and subscribed now to both your channel s
I'm addicted to his latest release from 21st November
Slaughterhouse on repeat atm
@@jacks9624 I swear when Ren was talking at the end he was actually tearing up and nothing wrong with that!
Please react to hardy sandhu - joker. You will love it.
WOW!!!! I can't believe I never heard of this man. He's SO talented, an absolute genius. It's so hopeful!
If you're new to Ren, i very highly recommend that you watch the tales of jenny and screech and violet's tale trilogy.
They are 3 separate songs that tie together, and it's available as s single RUclips video.
After that, I *love* what went wrong part 1! There's a part 2 to that song as well.
I think you're hooked now. Good luck.
Oh boy did you just find a treasure

I thought it was just me who did that 🤣
@@gabriellynch2764 Very well-said! Thank you for articulating how I feel about Ren and this video.

I love watching -
When people hear Ren do his"woowhoos" at the start They're like what?? 🥴
By the end jammy to them ❤ gets me every time 😂👍

Your cousin was completely correct, it's your honesty, authenticity, and neurospicy enthusiasm for music and cinema that keeps me coming back.
I read that like “spicy brain enthusiasm” and now I can’t read it correctly 😅
@@mrkippster It's a playful way of saying "neurodivergent" but "spicy brain enthusiasm" has its own charms too.
The creation of a Renegade. it's so much fun to watch.
That part! 😂❤🐰🕳
I'm 2.5 minutes into the video and not digging it.
Where should I skip ahead to see the good part?
@@zeruty Ren is a storyteller, if you skip ahead it's like reading the back of the book without the middle. No context. I find the people that don't like it are generally trying to take it in as a rap song. If you consider it an art piece it's hits different.

Was lucky enough to see him in July, this is the 1st song he played. He's just outstanding & a beautiful human ❤️
😳IM😯SO😠VERY😡JELOUS🤬!!!😭
😍I 🤞 hope and 😇 pray... that🫢someday... ❤soon...🫠
Chalk Outlines GENUINELY saved my life earlier this year. ❤
I... Just love the guy!
It's raw, honest and relatable. I'm glad it connected with you and kept you moving forward.
More of this content please.

I’m so jealous of your cousin being able to go thru RENs catalog for the FIRST time!!!
Please bring your cousin on frequently, and do some more blindfolded reactions on surprising or unusual songs/bands/artists. He's amazing and he's got a bright personality.
I loved this reaction, honest & sincere.
Love and respect from London ❤
Love your cousin, both of yall have the gift of making people happy, thanks
The struggle of duality within life
This song helpt me ( to relax en soften) so much 💖💪
That was a beautiful reaction to witness. Thank you, Mr. Boyd & Mr. Cousin.
I’ve listened to Hi Ren so many times that I’ve memorized the lyrics without ever reading them and I still weep freely nearly every time I hear it. Good reaction, guys.
Same.
I’m only a minute in and his facial expressions are already so great 😂
My boy Ren. Changing the game.
This was a magnificent reaction. It’s such a joy witnessing someone experience Ren for the first time. I smiled through the entire video. Great analysis guys.
The yodel at the beginning, cuz was like...uh,.?? The yodel at the end, all smiles.

💜👏💜
The initial Ren reactions are fire. I’ve subbed and gonna watch a few of his previous videos to get a read on his takes.
I think we just witnessed the birth of a Renegade, its a beautiful thing .❤
Your brother nailed it! It’s the honesty! Why do people watch, and why do people like your videos? Think of it this way. We don’t know you but the reaction gives the viewer a lot of the same feelings they may have watching their kids opening Christmas presents.

To be clear, Ren has never suffered from schizophrenia, bi-polar, split personality disorder, or any such thing.

The "Hi REN!" at the end said it for me.
you gotta do Ren's new track Slaughter House
Yes!!!
Couldn’t agree more. One of his best works and I’m sure MrLBoyd will love the mythological references.
Brilliance, self awareness, and finely precise articulation are some significant gifts. ❤
Ren is effortlessly talented !!! Huge fan of his 🎉
Subbed to your cousins channel..hoping to see the Ren journey and who my goodness he got it ❤
Why do people watch you? Well, other than a voice that could read me a bedtime story, youre honest and, most of all, genuine. That shines through in every video and its addictive
New drop Slaughterhous is 🤯💯 Ren is genius, tnx for support Ren's art. 🌹
Loved this, fun to experience Ren here with the cousin 😁
Followed your cousin for his Ren journey. Thank for spreading the word Mrlboyd.
It must have been incredibly therapeutic for Ren to write this song. And to have so many people relate to it! Loved the reaction, great video!!
This man is a legend! He lived his music with so much passion!

Can't wait for your review of Ren's latest drop, Slaughterhouse! Prob one of his best so far! 🔥🔥🔥💙💙💙💥💥💥
There is nothing like him anywhere! He is made fir times like this. Introspective lyrics🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

For some reason loving that your cousin is wearing is chef's outfit for this. *chefs kiss*
Literally just got off of work
@@RuppleberryReactz i respect the hustle.
The excitement on Teddy's face says it all. Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole
You are genuine in all your reactions and it rings true. That's why I like you. And your cousins give great additions, as well.

This might be one of my favourite introductions to Ren and I’ve seen a lot! Respect to both of you guys.
He starts with a whimsical strumming and ooh ooh oohing then pulls you into the darkness then brings you out of the darkness with more whimsical strumming and ooh oohing and then his story. Truly powerful.
We're still here because you are a fellow nerd, and it is always fun to hear your take on things. You have an awesome voice too.
I've been watching since you first discovered Ren but for some unknown reason I only hit the subscribe button today!
Sorry 'bout that, Mr. L. Boyd.
Killed it again. Love seeing reactors show this to other people.
