  • @adamreed6336
    @adamreed6336 Год назад +91

    Has anyone ever pointed out that in the beginning when he's yodeling that represents his light side and when the lights flicker and the evil voice appears that's his dark side trying to take over so at the end when he's yodeling and the lights are flickering at the same time it's the light and dark side working in unison. Basically he starts out in the light and then the darkness creeps in but by the end they're working together. At least that's my interpretation.

    • @UnknownPerson-rr5nz
      @UnknownPerson-rr5nz Год назад +4

      In the end when the light flickers, I've always thought of the yotaling as the hope and his aggressive guitar playing as the evil/chaotic side❤. So similar thoughts. I think there was one or two, but I've seen so many reactions that I can't remember who.

    • @Mancjorot
      @Mancjorot Год назад +5

      I thought similar in the end he's given in and accepted both the yin and yang, which is why as Ren says he's able to move freely.

    • @duballer71
      @duballer71 Год назад +3

      Interesting perspective. Something that struck me that I haven't seen in any of the reaction videos I've seen is that I also think there is beauty in his discordant chaotic side. Which I think ties into the Triumph of learning to live with both the light and the dark

    Over here in the UK there was a massive influence of Caribbean music that started even before the Windrush generation. It spawned ska and numerous other musical offshoots and influenced incredible 'white' bands like The Clash, The Police, etc. UB40 were huge in the UK at one point too. London , especially, has a huge very integrated Afro-Caribbean community and has for some time which really shows in working class culture ( from the days of rude boys , punks and skins up to the present day) over here. Perfect example of the Melting Pot being an awesome thing.

    • @griffinanderson4163
      @griffinanderson4163 Год назад +3

      The melting pot is not an isolated phenomenon. The melting pot is universal. The melting pot are metaphors being more than a total sum of their parts. “Everything under the sun has been done.” I used to rail against that notion until I came to realization everything that can and will ever happen is happening in this very moment… we are our own worst enemies. Imho it’s all about gratitude and forgiveness

    Great reaction! Just wanted to mention, my daughter lived in a small town in Central Florida and every year they have a busking festival. It's amazing and draws all different kinds of performers. I make sure to bring money so we can support these talented people. I wish this trend could spread all over the country. There are so many talented people out there who never really get the chance to be seen or heard.

  • @Av3rageD4D

  • @Hazzmattikk
    @Hazzmattikk Год назад +19

    First comment!
    I love when you drop the "do you know what busking is"
    "sounds sexual" Like ayyye girl you gonna make me BUSK
    I love the variety of people you get to react to Ren. I thought it was refreshing in a way to see Juz J at first to be like i dont know if im feeling it, only to come around at the end and express how artistic it was and how he could relate to it as well. It speaks to people of all backgrounds and like you said P, it really is a masterpiece of our current era.
    The rollercoaster of Juz J seeing his range was priceless haha.
    Great reaction from you both!
    Favorite reaction channel by far and I cant wait for the interview!

  • @BrandonWestfall

    Yeah Brighton is the home of busking. I love my city. Although best busker I’ve seen live was in london at Waterloo. She had me in tears. I tried to give her money and she refused to accept it as she says my emotional response was better payment than any money I could have given her. Amazing.

    I like how everyone you have on is supportive of artists like Ren , Sam T, Chinchilla and others. Giving props and acknowledgement instead of ripping on people. I know from watching your show that's not what you do but their are artists that don't like to say someone is "more talented or doing great in their careers " even if in other areas. If that makes sense.... Keep up the great work, love your stuff also! Respect!

    I think Juz J's reaction to Hi Ren is how a lot of people react while processing Ren. Although I got the concept of Hi Ren pretty quickly and knew I was watching something special, this is what my reaction to Money Game Part 1 would have looked like. Legit. It took a little bit for my brain to comprehend what he was trying to convey in BOTH the lyrics and the video all at once. I'll admit MG1 made me feel uncomfortable, but I say that more as a compliment because the video was done with that intended purpose. I just wasn't ready for it!! MG1 is one of my favorites now.... I'm guessing when Juz J compared it to a horror film that Ren would have taken that as a compliment. 😊

    Another great introduction to Ren and reaction.
    Loved Judge Js honesty too.
    Even when he wasn’t vibing with things he at least noticed and picked up on certain elements and appreciated the subtleties, and once he did absorb everything he totally got it.
    Hope to see him back with a Ren reaction and another freestyle (on one of your other videos) again.
    Again another congrats on your big 100k!
    Keep bossing Ma man…

    One thing i appreciate about so many of the guest reactors is that they often comment that what Ren is doing is inspiring them to work harder, to become more, to go back and dig deeper.
