did you not see that booty in the hallway???? :) but yo, you right - Ren doesn't rely on vulgar language, ho stuff, he just brings the bars and meaning.
Oh I don’t know , in Hi Ren we’ve got ‘fuck you’ , in ‘Losing it’ you’ve got “ Baddest kid in the game, sick mother fucker Sound hardcore so raw; no rubber Milk that, milk that, milk that udder”, (which obviously refers to telling someone to make him come) and She said I’m a dick when I get out of hand You look quite fit with my dick in your hand”, “ I'm fuckin it up like I made it Sometimes stuck in a rut but I break it Cum twice busting a nut you can't fake it” ( which I think is a double meaning bar referring also being stuck in a sexual relationship with a woman. From the Hunger you’ve got the following “ 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 ” So I think it’s fair to say that Ren has no problem using street vernacular but where he differs from many rappers, he doesn’t use it wantonly, it’s always a key part of the bars.
Ren mentioned you on his Twitch livestream today, talking about doing an interview with you and how much he appreciates the exposure you have been giving him.
LYRICS FULL Animal flow You're in the mind of a cannibal king Where chaos and anarchy roam And trouble is bubbling under the skin A certain insanity shows Whenever I pick up the mic and begin Whenever these words that I write With my pen come alive They ignite like I pulled out the pin Animal flow Out in the jungle I’m ready for war Im beating your brains with a bat And I’m swinging it back And its booky, I bite cause I’m bored Lord of the cannibals bro A murderous mind that you can’t ignore I wait and react with combat on the counter attack I'm the king of the junglе I roar ANIMAL ANIMAL Animal flow I'm the flow CEO I've got mountains of murderous rhymеs Mountain volcanic I blow and cause mayhem and panic There's no where to run from my mind I'm an impassible foe Never slowing, just growing And flowing with intricate lines Yes I will dig in my teeth When I bite like a beast Blood, I drink it like wine Animal flow Out in the wilderness I will be king Sit on my throne I’m the lord of the rings Out on my own I’m a terrible thing Animal skins, over my shoulders like bling They will be clothing my sins I came to win, over and over again I take your life with a grin ANIMAL ANIMAL Mary had a little lamb Who’s fleece was white as snow It made the blood look so much redder When I slit its throat Watch it drip, drop, drip, drop Until the ground was soaked Oh, Mary Mary Quite contrary How the blood it flows Horrific, explicit I bleed parasitic Acid, I’m eating your flesh Don’t fidget, I’m livid Not mentally with it I get kind of sick when I’m stressed I am the eye, I am the storm I am the fury, I am the scorn I am the belly, I am the beast Yes I am, yes I am, yes I am Yes I’m an animal Yes I’m an animal Yes sometimes the things I do are irrational Yes sometimes the things I do are quite radical Yes I will be waging war on the capital Yes I will burn the Houses of Parliament down Cause hypocrites - they burn quite easily, wow Burn and pillage it all to the ground Your illegitimate king lost his crown Animal flow Show no mercy under my rule I won’t be kind, I will be cruel Drown all my foes in a paddling pool Yes I’m tyrannical bro, so Never mistake a man for a fool I'll take your ignorance right back to school And teach you a lesson for testing my cool ANIMAL

Now that rest!! dont know how I would be if I had to always work my like away just to live a ittle but as long as you have enough for a house 2 cars insurence and food for your family and a few trips a year well thats all yas need. some want too much. sad
Guys. Ren is presenting himself as a malcontent. As a revolutionary. The system failed him. He nearly died. It's hard not to view these failures as gross negligence and lack of empathy for the sick and underprivileged. He is taking power back by showing his anger for and frustration with the system. He is representing the underlying tension and rebellious feelings of his audience, his friends, his peers. I'll refer you back to Money Game parts 1 and 2, as well as Sick Boi. This is a spiritual continuation of those songs.
So true and I get that and I know that we all fight subliminally with words and music. to change the way humans think. I really can't thank my parents enough for stressing the importance of critical thinking when I was growing up. My father used to tell me a story about how his mother would occasionally ask him "Why do you think they're telling you this?" During news segments or commercials?? They don't really need the lower class and lower middle class anymore. people who have a yearly income of 2 to 4 million and more should be okay. when Walmart starts to shut down in every city yes they will get robbed and why not. get it while you can because they will destroy everything even the food and put it as a write-off. China already had this setup in the very rich parts. also with the stealing. hey, they did not want to hire humans to work at checkouts they wanted to put in self-checkouts. and knew it would be a problem but Walmart and all its stores also small stores will not be able to compete with Amazon within 5 years they will even cook your whole meals and deliver them in 30 minutes to an hour and it will not be a human delivering that. they are also going to have robotic trucks delivering everything to all Amazon locations at all times and they do not need humans for that. So no humans will be working other than engineers to keep everything working 100 percent. so tell your kids to get into engineering but still only 10 percent of everyone will be needed. So very inhumane outlook for the lower to middle-middle class and well goodbye lower class because the left and right gov is going to take all benefits away. I even see most restaurants closing and even hospitals so if you need an ambulance then you're gone because the nearest hospital might just be 100 miles away. I know the truth. mainly because I have heard everything and researched it and found FACTS. I don't see how not many are getting it and still worshipping the left and right and doing what they want you to do. FUSS AND FIGHT OVER a beer bottle or who is male or female and hey the left and right media is the reason for all the uprisings and why everyone is going crazy over it. it was the plan and is in the paybook!!! As I have always said. if the news tells you something is going on in another country then use social networking to find out for yourself yes go to the sources, not the fake news. Now they start the stage of cutting that off where nobody around the world can tell truths that the elite and the political media. huge corporations do not want you to know... also Did everyone think that slavery ended?? No, it just went from free workers who were treated like shit with no benefits to tiny little 15 to 25 hours slave jobs. Yes, 60 percent of US citizens are slaves and do not know it but hey they still have them pointing fingers as to who did it and who can fix it. yeah, it's funny but also very sad that the brainwashing truly working.. the 1 percent controls all. they could stop feeding us if we tried to do anything and well they own the gov so the gov would not go against their interest and money. they would try to get the military to kill us first. I just wonder if the military would go against its own people?? the people of Ukraine and Russia travailed across the borders daily to see friends and family until it got so bad. So I believe they would go against us. we are slaves to the rich. nobody in any office is Ethical in any way. and no president or anyone in politics even knows how it is for the middle and lower class!! WHY ARE YOU NOT WAVING FLAGS SAYING FCK THE 1 PERCENT?? I think THE PEOPLE are starting to understand what is truly going on with all news and all politicians and we THE PEOPLE By law Can vote out and put in ETHICAL leaders and get rid of the left and right and middle. We no longer believe any of you and we are growing and getting stronger and Stronger every day. Starting to look like a Hitler/Starlin-type world.. Scary!!!! Orwells Animal Farm and Kurt Vonnegut’s Player Piano should be in schools. But no and we know why
He probably got misdiagnosed for a long time ...people don't get tested for Lyme disease ..it's like a last resort...I'm thinking they gave him a ton of meds and couldn't figure it out
Ren lived and spent most of his creative time in Brighton, theres a real music community in Brighton and pretty much everyone helps each other, no egos, just all levels of creativity together. Thats why he reacts and communcates at all of the reactions for all channels big or small. Theres no ego when it comes to Ren, he just puts out the stuff that he enjoys putting out and appreciates everyone that likes it for whatever reason. Such a class act of a bloke
We are so lucky to witness the rise of Ren. I love Brighton, had a couple of killer nights out there. I used to live in Broadstairs, just along the SE coast. Think I was there though when Ren was still at school haha I'm 53. Here for him now though, all the way to the top of the game.
@@zed4225 I am 61 and feel the same. I watched Animal Flow's premiere together with my 22 year old son. I saw people from 40 to 80 react similar to Ren. He creates "Ren-alls" that speak to multiple generations for those who have eyes to watch, ears to listen, brains to understand, and hearts to feel.
The pigs in Animal Farm take over the animal revolution and by the end are acting like the humans before. You're right about at the words. They're straight out of Orwells novel. So I guess that's the link to the pig mask across lots of Ren's videos. And Ren dropping this just before the coronation adds another layer as well Thanks for all your Ren stuff. Love your work (and Ren of course).
Yes this, and if I understand correctly the novel Animal Farm wall an allegory for the Russian Revolution. All animals are equal but some animals are better than others. In the book, those were the pigs.
Right... Not many gonna catch it! That's just how Brilliant Ren is!!! Ren is 100% on his Own Level!!! No One compares to him! Not even Em... settle down people... it's My opinion! Based on sheer talents, and lyrical abilities... he Has already Surpassed Em in my opinion!!! It's Mine... I'm allowed to have it!!!
Animal Farm/Clockwork Orange/Willy Wonka has repurposed his factory and he ain't making chocolate no more............nicely timed drop, what with a king being crowned later this week and all. Can't wait for the Ren interview, chaps.
Yes, the white walls and him in white was definitely Clockwork Orange. Glad somebody else noticed the reference. And the masks in Clockwork Orange. And the cane in Willy Wonka when he approaches the gates to let the kids into his factory. Awesome video.
@longkesh1971 and I just watched the singing in the rain scene here on RUclips in honor of Ren's amazing talent! (And I watch it at least once a year since I was a teenager lol)
@@fredolord that was my first thought when it began then of willy wonka and his cane followed by clockwork orange, never read animal farm so i didn't get that reference
And yes it's one take. He talked about this in his interview with Justin Hawkins. It was pretty funny how they put it all together. I can't wait for your interview with Ren. I dig your takes, and Ren is... Well Ren just is Ren.
He did a great breakdown on his livestream after the premier. He talked about Animal Farm, Kubrick, and said he spent a lot of time trying to reproduce the painting of the dogs playing poker. Wonderful reaction as usual guys!
Walking canes were first used as weapons , They also symbolize authority, strength and are a status symbol historically. IF Ren is embodying Orwell as his persona in this, than a cane is more in keeping than a baseball bat, but i do think Ren is also referencing clockwork orange too.
Ren is always giving me A Clockwork Orange vibes! I requested a Singing in the Rain cover using the cane from Animal Flow in the parking garage (or whatever it was lol) from Illest of Our Time video! 😂❤
Haha yeah, Ren is his own artistic team 😜 And he was able to get 70 of his friends to help out on the crazy mind trip through George Orwell’s “Animal Farm” 🐷🐯🐵🦁 crossed with Kubrick’s “Eyes Wide Shut.” The quote is from “Animal Farm” This was filmed in one take … if you read the description, he talks about the process. And not sure too many people could rock that white suit in such a slick, sinister way 😼 When he mentioned in the Justin Hawkins interview that if he had a chance to act, he would love to play a villain … all he needs to do is submit this, Screech’s Tale, and Hi Ren 😜
Black skinhead was exactly his inspiration for the base sound of this track.. he just talked about it on Twitch 😅 and yes it was a one take video 😮 it’s George Orwell’s animal farm and clockwork orange vibes 🍊
Everything he does he’s caught me off guard to some degree. Appreciate you guys for the reactions. He is FIRE….. and I love how his music is shaking things up, without some large label involved.
Hes dressed and sitting like Alex in Clockwork Orange, he also staggers like Willy Wonka before standing straight. The beat is also reminiscent of the oompa loompa song.
Good reaction and analysis. Both Animal Farm and Clockwork Orange are definitely part of the inspiration for this. The first is a cautionary tale, they revolted and created the 'perfect society' where all animals were equal, but then the darker side of (animal/human) nature showed up and it turned out that '...some animals are more equal than others'. Basically recreating the same oppression they had from the farmer, but with a new leader. My memory of Clockwork Orange is a message of how the totalitarian state bring out the worst in us and create the very dangers it propose to shield us from. My current take away (subject to change) is that of a warning: we won't be able to create a good society top down. It comes back to us, the humans who live in it, to safeguard our humanity and we cannot shirk that responsibility by hoping we can outsource it to some leader. Not if we want to keep our humanity.
Still digesting this, I love the beatz, I love the lyrics. Ren is one helluva complex individual. That interview with Justin was fire, I first saw 'Hi Ren' through 'Justin Hawkins Rides Again' channel. The interview gave a great insight into the mind of Ren. His mind is going at a million miles an hour, full of all these ideas, taking life, the world, pain, love, strength, endurance, the system and humanity as a collective all in, and spitting it out right. Very excited to hear he's going be on with you guys. Thanks for a great react. Agreed. Ren is in his own genre and lane, and it's great to be living in the days of Ren. We are honoured and lucky to witness one of the greats of all time rise, and with him, lift millions of others like yourselves. Lovin your flow BP, your up there and killing it, go get em legend❣🇦🇺
I can't wait until your interview with Ren. I hope you guys can connect soon (if not already done) I know its coming! Your channel is one of my top 5 reaction channels! Great in depth and real reviews and reactions
10/10 Great ❤ Cause know you can see the value of getting knowledge and reading classic. Everyone who did read this book just gets every detail in one sec ❤️ my grandma was right: "Knowledge is a powerful tool & will always lead you when needed to not get lost." HugeHugs for You All 💜💜💜
All animals are equal. But some of them are more equal than others. That is from George Orwells book Animal Farm. The book dives, very deep into capitalism and hypocrisy. The people that watch this video and say, “dude- this is too out there. I don’t get it“ I’m sure you don’t. Read Animal Farm. You will. Ren, as usual you keep pushing the envelope of what you can do. I love it that your artist choices spark a dialogue. There will always be differing opinions on what is good, what is not good, what is main stream, etc.… But if you are the one that made the music to make people have a dialogue that they never would’ve had otherwise? Wow! That is an accomplishment in itself.
Knox Hill dropped his reaction two hours ago, and it's fire. He _immediately_ picked up on the Orwell connection, laying out the story including Napoleon, and how it's based on the Russian Revolution. But he always perfectly broke down the beatboxing and the rhyme schemes.
This is yet another amazing piece of art from Ren's Sick Boi album (his hip hop collection). Each and every one of them have been something to behold. I'm equally looking forward to his next album that's supposed to be focused on his singing, guitar playing, etc. Then again, I look forward to whatever he shares with the world!
Absolute genius..... Ren sees where things are going. Not long kiddies. Animal Farm is a beast fable, in the form of a satirical allegorical novella, by George Orwell, first published in England on 17 August 1945.
His messages are so poignant. He's right on the leading edge of the ill-feeling in the UK right now. He knows how we feel. He's voicing it and sees where it's going.
There is a thin veneer of power, and that veneer is the only voice that is allowed to be heard. Once you peel that veneer away, there are a lot of people that feel the same way as you do in the UK. You're not alone.
@@Gearmeshkutt This country has been psychotically devastated over the last 13 years...and somehow, they managed to persuade large swathes of us to beg for it to happen, taking us right back to the Victorian Era. In my lifetime, I've never known the establishment kill or create hardship for so many people and grimly smile at you, the entire time...and I lived through the Thatcher era.
@@simiangimp2282 They have an insatiable appetite for power. They have no idea what to do with power once they get it, but they know they "need" more power. They know people are easier to control when they are scared and desperate so they keep supplying misery. They know that if they keep generating divisive fear. People will keep screaming past one another and do their work for them. The powerful get away with precisely what we let them and not a thing more. The way that the powerful do things is completely unsustainable. There will come a day when we collectively realize they are not worth what they cost us. A critical mass will understand that they can not be trusted with our lives and well being any longer. That is the day it comes swiftly down on everyone's head, and we will see what emerges from that rubble.
@@simiangimp2282 you've absolutely nailed it! I've been waiting for artists to start waking up and stepping up for years against this shitshow but it hasn't happened. Then Ren appears as this absolute powerhouse who's kicking the shit out of the hell we're living in. Hopefully it will finally wake people up
I like how the video is shot in such a way that makes it look like he is giving the viewer a tour through his mind, like how he waits on the stairs as the cameraman is distracted.
I so much agree as for clockwork orange. It hit me in Violet's tale when he mentioned "he pinches her eyelids and folds them up". The picture in the movie really stroke me.
Enjoyed watching this reaction with you guys. I listened to AF straight first on Ren's channel and I just had a big grin - it was so much fun just to listen to and watch. Looking forward to your interview with Ren - you're gonna have so many interesting questions and discussion with Ren that weren't covered with Justin's interview. Ren is waging war on all the corporate & elite pigs and bringing discourse amongst the masses in his own unique way #RenemyOfTheState 🦾
You're the only ones who caught the dogs playing cards reference, he mentioned on Twitch that those paintings inspired this and he dropped it into the video as an easter egg!😊😅
You guys were asking about what character he's playing. It kinda reminds me of Dr Moreau who is mixing animals with humans to create some "evolved race". It doesn't work and all the experiments return to their beastial nature. IDK if that's what Ren was going for, but I wouldn't be surprised with all his other literary references.
Those are the 7 rules from the book Animal Farm by George Orwell. One of Orwell's finest works, it is a political fable based on the events of Russia's Bolshevik revolution and the betrayal of the cause by Joseph Stalin. The book concerns a group of barnyard animals who overthrow and chase off their exploitative human masters and set up an egalitarian society of their own. All animals must follow those rules are they are outcasts and even killed. It symbolises Russian rule during Stalin and was specifically written for that reason since it's an old book. I believe the animals escape and burn the farmers house down a.k.a. remove tyrants and the animals and other humans end up playing poker together at the end. The farmer was keeping the animals from humans and humans were kept away from the animals because the farmer didn't want the humans to actually see the horrors they dealt with. As for the pigs, they are the ones that start and lead the revolution. Ren plays a role where has assimilated with the animals where both humans and animals have joined forces to take down the corporations, greed, profits and cruelty. He's basically saying that Ren and his fans are going to take over and let everyone be who they want to be and not follow cookie-cutter rap beats and styles. I might be reaching far there but that's the vibe I'm getting.
Watched the Premiere of Animal Flow and have watched the video a few times both with sound and without to try and pick all the amazing detail in it and then listened to the sound without the video - so much amazing stuff to absorb and now going to start watching reactions- a day later! Saw a few clips of Animal Flow on Ren’s IG stories over a year ago and love finally seeing it all come to life. Wow - just seeing the video and how Ren moves around it - the one take - read about the shoot on Ren’s YT channel and saw him discuss his influences for this with Justin Hawkins. Think Ren said in his twitch feed after Illest that film influences his videos sometimes more than music - think he mentioned Eyes Wide Shut for this one but also the Clockwork Orange Vibe with his outfit. Watching Ren videos is always fun but,even more fun, is watching reactions and having discussions about your thoughts and your interpretation of what Ren has done, said in his vids. This is no exception. Ren gets you to talk and think as well as producing some amazing work. Really looking forward to seeing a Ren x BP interview. Thanks for another great reaction.
George Orwell references. The way he wrote this song, performed the vid with all the animals and the end scene with him and the 2 pigs was genius. AGAIN all 1 take. The boy is baaaaad
Ren's new video reminds me of, The Island of Doctor Moreau by H.G. Wells and Animal Farm by George Orwell. Both are great books to read. Awesome video like always and thank you for your hard work.
It's never too late BP.. As humans despite having things to teach as we age we are still forever learning until the inevitable end... Honestly better late than never.. And ur having fun with it too wich is great. I love how music educates or opens the mind to education of all kinds
Can't wait for the interview man. Animal Flow is insane. The beat is monster. Ren did mention at his twitch stream after the premiere, Kanye was a refference. Love the reaction as always! 🔥 Also, Ren does nearly eveything himself. It's mad how creative the guy is!
I'm with Don Juan! I read 1984, Animal Farm, Fahrenheit 451, and watched Clockwork Orange so long ago, middle school in the late 80s! Ren has given me an excitement to go back now and redo.
Black P... you've said it before... it's Animal farm done Stanley kubrick style! He said in his live stream he chose the location because it gave him a Stanley kubrick vibe!
Hell yeah guys. When you said you wanted to interview Ren i was thinking that he woukd probably do it. Hes all about communities lifting each other up. And you guys have been super supporting of Ren. I love how you bring people on thats never heard of Ren and turn them on to him as well as good breakdowns of the music. Yall are awesome. If anyone deserves an interview with Ren its you.
@@thiswildridecalledlife9194 Wow I love to hear this as I hate that type music. Music should be educationally fun as well as fcking great. lol Yeah this Wild Ride Called life. I call it a fun ride called life because I stay in my 360. haha
actually love this. Animal Flow, from the Animal Farm (laws on the wall)...led by the Shepherd not the Sheep (Hi REN) and the visualization of Clockwork Orange and the the leader of the Droogs. Ren is still on another level...again...with ANOTHER ONE SHOT VIDEO. watch that again.
It's Animal Farm a book by George Orwell. Famous for the quote 'All animals were created equal, but some are created more equal than others'. The moral of the story is that Napoleon (the pig... a returning character in Ren's music videos) and based on Joseph Starlin re-writes the rules or 'commandments' en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_Farm every Ren video features the different animals. The 'original' commandments are: Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend. No animal shall wear clothes. No animal shall sleep in a bed. No animal shall drink alcohol. No animal shall kill any other animal. All animals are equal. Later Napoleon revised them to: No animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets. No animal shall drink alcohol to excess. No animal shall kill any other animal without cause. It's a twist on the seven commandments. He's is telling you RUclips is a political propaganda machine and you are part of it.
Yeah but, how would we hear about Ren if not for youtube, apple music, spotify etc. Thats the issue, to connect as a collective we need a way to connect as a collective. Like everything we have to take a little bad with the good, the yin and the yang, the light and the dark, they need us too remember, without us they are nothing. Just using the internet, your in the system. It's a dilemma isn't it.
It's a lot deeper thank you think. George Orwell - Animal Farm (7 laws on the wall & LOTS of double meaning lyrics), A Clockwork Orange - White clothes with the cane, walk & facial expressions & eydrop by the eyes Willly Wonka/Mad Hatter (Alice in Wonderland) - Oompa Loompa type sounds in beginning & vibe
Love it guys! Can't wait for the interview. You should have Andy Roo or Ian Taylor or some of your other Ren introductions in on it too! Would love to hear the questions they would ask him.
Yo my guys, This is dope! The only thing about releasing a full hip hop album, is that his audience is now condition to expect the unexpected. With no particular genre or style from track to track. I think the audience who is finding and diving into Ren's full music catalog is hungry for that level of uncertainty. Now I'm going to check out a cpl of yours. But You really need to jump all in to Ren's - Love Music 1, 2, & 3. And #3 is super fire. Also Insomnia is incredible also.
'The information on the wall' is basically George Orwell's Animal Farm "All animals are equal. Appended to these commandments is the mantra or slogan 'four legs good, two legs bad', because animals (who walk on four legs) are their friends while their two-legged human overlords are evil. 'Four legs good, two legs bad', then, is a political slogan in Animal Farm."
I think people are starting to understand Ren. He's just... Ren. No pretensions. Nothing except an imagination, love of music, and insane levels of talent. Those who stuck with calling him a "bard" are right - he uses styles for the sake of the story. Everything is to further the message or theme he wants to present or evoke. The closest style i can think of to describe him would be "Punk Hop" but even that isn't all that accurate. Better to call it a show than a music video. He'd be incredible on Broadway.
If Ren created a Broadway show or movie it'd be insane. So far the vids I've seen are all mini-movies, all have a beginning and end & tell a story that most people can follow, regardless of age or music tastes. To think of him & maybe Sam if he chose to, having the time to extend their creativity into a full length production .... there's no limit to what they could come up with. They don't even need a big budget, all their vids are done with minimal gear and they're better than any expensive music vid I've seen. People would leave the theaters stunned not knowing which part to focus on.
Just heard of Animal Farm from this song and it's crazy how history repeats. It goes from 'All animals are equal.' to 'All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.'
REN said he was a fan of Aldous Huxley (author of Brave New World) and George Orwell. Makes me love him 1000% even more! Huxley was Orwell’s mentor and he predicted what is happening.
He's being WIlly Wonka which is a callback to The Hunger. That's why the beginning sounds like the Oompa Loompa song and he's limping with the cane when he walks...
Hello, I am a relatively new listener to your channel. I was born in Denver and Retired out of Fort Carson. I was wounded in Afghanistan. I relate to Ren in many ways. It is not easy coming back from combat and having your Career end in a split second on 1 June 2009. It resulted in my use of a wheelchair. But yes Animal Farm, Clockwork Orange, I am alive and learning how to walk with the help of my KFOs (C-Braces). Keep doing your thing and can't wait to see the Interview with, Ren.
I think Ren is an absolute genius with his productions. He can do it all. I could listen to his music all day damn. And this video is animal farm based, you can hear th story as he flows. the animals being led to slaughter by other animals. and great reactions guys, keep them coming.
Humans are animals too, you know. We're part of the animal kingdom. We are animals that eat other animals ourselves. We just see us at the top of the foodchain.
Had me nervous there until you finally mentioned the clockwork orange angles. Shouldn't have doubted 😉Ren's drawing so many parallels with sounds, visuals, and lyrics. Thank you for the honesty about the reading. One phenomenon that's so true is that you see the world very differently as you age. I encourage everyone to re-read Animal Farm, 1984, and other things 'ahead of their time' with the eyes of our recent lived shared experiences. Or read it for the first time, with purpose. Really puts things in perspective. Then maybe we'll have a chance....
As far as the animals eating humans perspective, I’d say the broader allegory here is that we are the animals. The animals shown aren’t eating humans per se, but the cows are eating beef, and the pig is butchering a pig. He is telling us that we humans are eating each other. His character is the authoritarian ruler/billionaire/politician striding confidently through the cannibalism and chaos that he set in place to keep us at each other’s throats. Keeping us in that state of mind is the method he used to attain and maintain that power over us.
Great reaction and good catch on the scene with the animals playing cards. Google Animal Farm by George Orwell. It gives the song meaning and explains the pig.
I'm feeling more of a Willy Wonka-Orwell mix with Rens character in this one, maybe with a little bit of Clockwork tossed in. I say Wonka because of the opening beat, and the way he's leading us through the "Animal Farm" like it's a tour of the Chocolate Factory.
Ren just cemented his super stardom... every song is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 ...and Im having the time of my life 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Song is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Ren is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Reaction is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥...thanks guys good job. Love your work.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The writing on the wall is Animal Farm. Not playing the farm owner - the animals overthrow the farm owner before the pigs eventually take his place. The character he's playing is along the lines of the main character from Clockwork Orange, possibly with a little Willy Wonka thrown in, especially the opening of the song.

Cum twice busting a nut you can't fake it” ( which I think is a double meaning bar referring also being stuck in a sexual relationship with a woman.
From the Hunger you’ve got the following “ 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 ”
So I think it’s fair to say that Ren has no problem using street vernacular but where he differs from many rappers, he doesn’t use it wantonly, it’s always a key part of the bars.
There were women but thy weren’t running around naked and grinding. I agree , this is artistry that borders and maybe crosses into mastery
No swearing on this track, but Ren swears plenty in most of his songs, including "Hi-Ren".
Ren mentioned you on his Twitch livestream today, talking about doing an interview with you and how much he appreciates the exposure you have been giving him.
i said a few weeks ago ren would be up for it if hes seen his reactions and i was right ..
LYRICS FULL
Animal flow
You're in the mind of a cannibal king
Where chaos and anarchy roam
And trouble is bubbling under the skin
A certain insanity shows
Whenever I pick up the mic and begin
Whenever these words that I write
With my pen come alive
They ignite like I pulled out the pin
Animal flow
Out in the jungle I’m ready for war
Im beating your brains with a bat
And I’m swinging it back
And its booky, I bite cause I’m bored
Lord of the cannibals bro
A murderous mind that you can’t ignore
I wait and react with combat on the counter attack
I'm the king of the junglе I roar
ANIMAL
ANIMAL
Animal flow
I'm the flow CEO
I've got mountains of murderous rhymеs
Mountain volcanic
I blow and cause mayhem and panic
There's no where to run from my mind
I'm an impassible foe
Never slowing, just growing
And flowing with intricate lines
Yes I will dig in my teeth
When I bite like a beast
Blood, I drink it like wine
Animal flow
Out in the wilderness I will be king
Sit on my throne I’m the lord of the rings
Out on my own I’m a terrible thing
Animal skins, over my shoulders like bling
They will be clothing my sins
I came to win, over and over again
I take your life with a grin
ANIMAL
ANIMAL
Mary had a little lamb
Who’s fleece was white as snow
It made the blood look so much redder
When I slit its throat
Watch it drip, drop, drip, drop
Until the ground was soaked
Oh, Mary Mary
Quite contrary
How the blood it flows
Horrific, explicit
I bleed parasitic
Acid, I’m eating your flesh
Don’t fidget, I’m livid
Not mentally with it
I get kind of sick when I’m stressed
I am the eye, I am the storm
I am the fury, I am the scorn
I am the belly, I am the beast
Yes I am, yes I am, yes I am
Yes I’m an animal
Yes I’m an animal
Yes sometimes the things I do are irrational
Yes sometimes the things I do are quite radical
Yes I will be waging war on the capital
Yes I will burn the Houses of Parliament down
Cause hypocrites - they burn quite easily, wow
Burn and pillage it all to the ground
Your illegitimate king lost his crown
Animal flow
Show no mercy under my rule
I won’t be kind, I will be cruel
Drown all my foes in a paddling pool
Yes I’m tyrannical bro, so
Never mistake a man for a fool
I'll take your ignorance right back to school
And teach you a lesson for testing my cool
ANIMAL
Nice one 👍 👌
@@Frank-1978 I agree
@Eva Valley Ahh yeah, We going to rest at myrtle Beach . Now that rest!! dont know how I would be if I had to always work my like away just to live a ittle but as long as you have enough for a house 2 cars insurence and food for your family and a few trips a year well thats all yas need. some want too much. sad
Guys. Ren is presenting himself as a malcontent. As a revolutionary. The system failed him. He nearly died. It's hard not to view these failures as gross negligence and lack of empathy for the sick and underprivileged. He is taking power back by showing his anger for and frustration with the system. He is representing the underlying tension and rebellious feelings of his audience, his friends, his peers. I'll refer you back to Money Game parts 1 and 2, as well as Sick Boi. This is a spiritual continuation of those songs.
So true and I get that and I know that we all fight subliminally with words and music. to change the way humans think. I really can't thank my parents enough for stressing the importance of critical thinking when I was growing up.
My father used to tell me a story about how his mother would occasionally ask him "Why do you think they're telling you this?" During news segments or commercials?? They don't really need the lower class and lower middle class anymore. people who have a yearly income of 2 to 4 million and more should be okay. when Walmart starts to shut down in every city yes they will get robbed and why not. get it while you can because they will destroy everything even the food and put it as a write-off. China already had this setup in the very rich parts. also with the stealing. hey, they did not want to hire humans to work at checkouts they wanted to put in self-checkouts. and knew it would be a problem but Walmart and all its stores also small stores will not be able to compete with Amazon within 5 years they will even cook your whole meals and deliver them in 30 minutes to an hour and it will not be a human delivering that. they are also going to have robotic trucks delivering everything to all Amazon locations at all times and they do not need humans for that. So no humans will be working other than engineers to keep everything working 100 percent. so tell your kids to get into engineering but still only 10 percent of everyone will be needed. So very inhumane outlook for the lower to middle-middle class and well goodbye lower class because the left and right gov is going to take all benefits away. I even see most restaurants closing and even hospitals so if you need an ambulance then you're gone because the nearest hospital might just be 100 miles away. I know the truth. mainly because I have heard everything and researched it and found FACTS. I don't see how not many are getting it and still worshipping the left and right and doing what they want you to do. FUSS AND FIGHT OVER a beer bottle or who is male or female and hey the left and right media is the reason for all the uprisings and why everyone is going crazy over it. it was the plan and is in the paybook!!! As I have always said. if the news tells you something is going on in another country then use social networking to find out for yourself yes go to the sources, not the fake news. Now they start the stage of cutting that off where nobody around the world can tell truths that the elite and the political media. huge corporations do not want you to know... also Did everyone think that slavery ended?? No, it just went from free workers who were treated like shit with no benefits to tiny little 15 to 25 hours slave jobs. Yes, 60 percent of US citizens are slaves and do not know it but hey they still have them pointing fingers as to who did it and who can fix it. yeah, it's funny but also very sad that the brainwashing truly working.. the 1 percent controls all. they could stop feeding us if we tried to do anything and well they own the gov so the gov would not go against their interest and money. they would try to get the military to kill us first. I just wonder if the military would go against its own people?? the people of Ukraine and Russia travailed across the borders daily to see friends and family until it got so bad. So I believe they would go against us. we are slaves to the rich. nobody in any office is Ethical in any way. and no president or anyone in politics even knows how it is for the middle and lower class!!
WHY ARE YOU NOT WAVING FLAGS SAYING FCK THE 1 PERCENT?? I think THE PEOPLE are starting to understand what is truly going on with all news and all politicians and we THE PEOPLE By law Can vote out and put in ETHICAL leaders and get rid of the left and right and middle. We no longer believe any of you and we are growing and getting stronger and Stronger every day. Starting to look like a Hitler/Starlin-type world.. Scary!!!! Orwells Animal Farm and Kurt Vonnegut’s Player Piano should be in schools. But no and we know why
That's why he's dressed like Alex in the beginning of Clockwork Orange, who was and is the antihero for malcontents
He probably got misdiagnosed for a long time ...people don't get tested for Lyme disease ..it's like a last resort...I'm thinking they gave him a ton of meds and couldn't figure it out
@@sojmike4761 yep. He's confirmed this.
@@tinymusikcodottv-Musikverse99 😂
Ren lived and spent most of his creative time in Brighton, theres a real music community in Brighton and pretty much everyone helps each other, no egos, just all levels of creativity together. Thats why he reacts and communcates at all of the reactions for all channels big or small. Theres no ego when it comes to Ren, he just puts out the stuff that he enjoys putting out and appreciates everyone that likes it for whatever reason. Such a class act of a bloke
We are so lucky to witness the rise of Ren. I love Brighton, had a couple of killer nights out there. I used to live in Broadstairs, just along the SE coast. Think I was there though when Ren was still at school haha I'm 53. Here for him now though, all the way to the top of the game.
@@zed4225 I am 61 and feel the same. I watched Animal Flow's premiere together with my 22 year old son. I saw people from 40 to 80 react similar to Ren. He creates "Ren-alls" that speak to multiple generations for those who have eyes to watch, ears to listen, brains to understand, and hearts to feel.
@@thomasgoldschmidt298 I am an woman in Sweden in same age as you and just started to listen to rap etc etc "Rens music" again.
The pigs in Animal Farm take over the animal revolution and by the end are acting like the humans before. You're right about at the words. They're straight out of Orwells novel. So I guess that's the link to the pig mask across lots of Ren's videos.
And Ren dropping this just before the coronation adds another layer as well
Thanks for all your Ren stuff. Love your work (and Ren of course).
Yes this, and if I understand correctly the novel Animal Farm wall an allegory for the Russian Revolution. All animals are equal but some animals are better than others. In the book, those were the pigs.
@@godwinseverytime3725 very much so. Right down to individual pigs being based on Stalin and Trotsky
Right... Not many gonna catch it! That's just how Brilliant Ren is!!!
Ren is 100% on his Own Level!!!
No One compares to him!
Not even Em... settle down people... it's My opinion! Based on sheer talents, and lyrical abilities... he Has already Surpassed Em in my opinion!!!
It's Mine... I'm allowed to have it!!!
Yes and that makes two of us!
So far.. Only Knox Hill has figured it out!
Animal Farm/Clockwork Orange/Willy Wonka has repurposed his factory and he ain't making chocolate no more............nicely timed drop, what with a king being crowned later this week and all. Can't wait for the Ren interview, chaps.
Yes, the white walls and him in white was definitely Clockwork Orange. Glad somebody else noticed the reference. And the masks in Clockwork Orange. And the cane in Willy Wonka when he approaches the gates to let the kids into his factory. Awesome video.
@longkesh1971 and I just watched the singing in the rain scene here on RUclips in honor of Ren's amazing talent! (And I watch it at least once a year since I was a teenager lol)
And the umpa lumpa chant
ruclips.net/video/QQNRJTwzSfE/видео.html
@@fredolord that was my first thought when it began then of willy wonka and his cane followed by clockwork orange, never read animal farm so i didn't get that reference
And yes it's one take. He talked about this in his interview with Justin Hawkins. It was pretty funny how they put it all together. I can't wait for your interview with Ren. I dig your takes, and Ren is... Well Ren just is Ren.
they shot it from 7pm to 4am thats how long it took less than a day
He has a breakdown of the filming in the description for the video.
He did a great breakdown on his livestream after the premier. He talked about Animal Farm, Kubrick, and said he spent a lot of time trying to reproduce the painting of the dogs playing poker. Wonderful reaction as usual guys!
Oh and he was also telling us about an interview he was going to do with Black Pegasus!
Yes, so good and so much insight into his process. Yes, every single detail was meticulously planned.
Walking canes were first used as weapons , They also symbolize authority, strength and are a status symbol historically. IF Ren is embodying Orwell as his persona in this, than a cane is more in keeping than a baseball bat, but i do think Ren is also referencing clockwork orange too.
And possibly Willy Wonka as well 😊
Absolutely picked up on Alex from Clockwork Orange, yeah. Good insight.
Cool,🤔 great explanation! 👍xx
Ren is always giving me A Clockwork Orange vibes! I requested a Singing in the Rain cover using the cane from Animal Flow in the parking garage (or whatever it was lol) from Illest of Our Time video! 😂❤
@@rexrogers1859 I kept having Colonel Sanders (kfc) pop into my head. That's the only person i had in memory of white suit and cane😂
Haha yeah, Ren is his own artistic team 😜 And he was able to get 70 of his friends to help out on the crazy mind trip through George Orwell’s “Animal Farm” 🐷🐯🐵🦁 crossed with Kubrick’s “Eyes Wide Shut.” The quote is from “Animal Farm”
This was filmed in one take … if you read the description, he talks about the process.
And not sure too many people could rock that white suit in such a slick, sinister way 😼 When he mentioned in the Justin Hawkins interview that if he had a chance to act, he would love to play a villain … all he needs to do is submit this, Screech’s Tale, and Hi Ren 😜
Black skinhead was exactly his inspiration for the base sound of this track.. he just talked about it on Twitch 😅 and yes it was a one take video 😮 it’s George Orwell’s animal farm and clockwork orange vibes 🍊
Everything he does he’s caught me off guard to some degree. Appreciate you guys for the reactions. He is FIRE….. and I love how his music is shaking things up, without some large label involved.
Hes dressed and sitting like Alex in Clockwork Orange, he also staggers like Willy Wonka before standing straight. The beat is also reminiscent of the oompa loompa song.
Good reaction and analysis. Both Animal Farm and Clockwork Orange are definitely part of the inspiration for this. The first is a cautionary tale, they revolted and created the 'perfect society' where all animals were equal, but then the darker side of (animal/human) nature showed up and it turned out that '...some animals are more equal than others'. Basically recreating the same oppression they had from the farmer, but with a new leader. My memory of Clockwork Orange is a message of how the totalitarian state bring out the worst in us and create the very dangers it propose to shield us from. My current take away (subject to change) is that of a warning: we won't be able to create a good society top down. It comes back to us, the humans who live in it, to safeguard our humanity and we cannot shirk that responsibility by hoping we can outsource it to some leader. Not if we want to keep our humanity.
Still digesting this, I love the beatz, I love the lyrics. Ren is one helluva complex individual. That interview with Justin was fire, I first saw 'Hi Ren' through 'Justin Hawkins Rides Again' channel.
The interview gave a great insight into the mind of Ren. His mind is going at a million miles an hour, full of all these ideas, taking life, the world, pain, love, strength, endurance, the system and humanity as a collective all in, and spitting it out right.
Very excited to hear he's going be on with you guys.
Thanks for a great react. Agreed. Ren is in his own genre and lane, and it's great to be living in the days of Ren. We are honoured and lucky to witness one of the greats of all time rise, and with him, lift millions of others like yourselves.
Lovin your flow BP, your up there and killing it, go get em legend❣🇦🇺
Four legs good, two legs bad is straight out of the novel Animal Farm. Its a great classic!
I like the reference to the "Dogs Playing Poker" paintings, in the beginning of the video
He drops this track right before the coronation of a new king of England? Daaaaamn.
I can't wait until your interview with Ren. I hope you guys can connect soon (if not already done) I know its coming! Your channel is one of my top 5 reaction channels! Great in depth and real reviews and reactions
The Orwell references in this one made my literary nerd heart very happy.
10/10 Great ❤ Cause know you can see the value of getting knowledge and reading classic. Everyone who did read this book just gets every detail in one sec ❤️ my grandma was right: "Knowledge is a powerful tool & will always lead you when needed to not get lost." HugeHugs for You All 💜💜💜
Yes, 1 take! He said it's the hardest he's done. Best video EVER! Love this. Great reaction too ❤
Soo many visual references from Animal Farm ♡ .. Incredible!
Lyerical genius 👏
When the song first started I went to Willy Wonka - the cane and it sounded like the Oompa Loompa song.
4 legs good 2 legs bad is Animal farm reference on Capitalism
Yes... Finally someone caught it!
Yeah he has the rules from animal farm written on the wall. One of my favorite books of all time.
All animals are equal. But some of them are more equal than others.
That is from George Orwells book Animal Farm.
The book dives, very deep into capitalism and hypocrisy. The people that watch this video and say, “dude- this is too out there. I don’t get it“
I’m sure you don’t. Read Animal Farm. You will.
Ren, as usual you keep pushing the envelope of what you can do. I love it that your artist choices spark a dialogue. There will always be differing opinions on what is good, what is not good, what is main stream, etc.… But if you are the one that made the music to make people have a dialogue that they never would’ve had otherwise? Wow! That is an accomplishment in itself.
It was also a critique of Joseph Stalin.
Knox Hill dropped his reaction two hours ago, and it's fire. He _immediately_ picked up on the Orwell connection, laying out the story including Napoleon, and how it's based on the Russian Revolution. But he always perfectly broke down the beatboxing and the rhyme schemes.
This is yet another amazing piece of art from Ren's Sick Boi album (his hip hop collection). Each and every one of them have been something to behold. I'm equally looking forward to his next album that's supposed to be focused on his singing, guitar playing, etc. Then again, I look forward to whatever he shares with the world!
Absolute genius..... Ren sees where things are going. Not long kiddies. Animal Farm is a beast fable, in the form of a satirical allegorical novella, by George Orwell, first published in England on 17 August 1945.
His messages are so poignant. He's right on the leading edge of the ill-feeling in the UK right now. He knows how we feel. He's voicing it and sees where it's going.
There is a thin veneer of power, and that veneer is the only voice that is allowed to be heard. Once you peel that veneer away, there are a lot of people that feel the same way as you do in the UK. You're not alone.
@@Gearmeshkutt This country has been psychotically devastated over the last 13 years...and somehow, they managed to persuade large swathes of us to beg for it to happen, taking us right back to the Victorian Era. In my lifetime, I've never known the establishment kill or create hardship for so many people and grimly smile at you, the entire time...and I lived through the Thatcher era.
@@simiangimp2282 They have an insatiable appetite for power. They have no idea what to do with power once they get it, but they know they "need" more power.
They know people are easier to control when they are scared and desperate so they keep supplying misery.
They know that if they keep generating divisive fear. People will keep screaming past one another and do their work for them.
The powerful get away with precisely what we let them and not a thing more. The way that the powerful do things is completely unsustainable.
There will come a day when we collectively realize they are not worth what they cost us. A critical mass will understand that they can not be trusted with our lives and well being any longer.
That is the day it comes swiftly down on everyone's head, and we will see what emerges from that rubble.
Yes, spot on
@@simiangimp2282 you've absolutely nailed it! I've been waiting for artists to start waking up and stepping up for years against this shitshow but it hasn't happened. Then Ren appears as this absolute powerhouse who's kicking the shit out of the hell we're living in. Hopefully it will finally wake people up
I like how the video is shot in such a way that makes it look like he is giving the viewer a tour through his mind, like how he waits on the stairs as the cameraman is distracted.
true
:)
I so much agree as for clockwork orange. It hit me in Violet's tale when he mentioned "he pinches her eyelids and folds them up". The picture in the movie really stroke me.
Yusss I caught that too omg 🖤👀
Yeah Clockwork is one of his favorite movies and Kubrick is his favorite director.
He representing the elite, walking among us the common folk, the filthy animals.
If u loved Humble, you're gonna adore Ocean, another collab with Eden. Its one of my fav Ren songs, and his flows are crazy
That Ocean reaction was nice. It's both BP and Don with Humble thrown in again for Don's first listen.
I LOVE ocean!!! Did not expect it to be one of my faves but it definitely is
Enjoyed watching this reaction with you guys. I listened to AF straight first on Ren's channel and I just had a big grin - it was so much fun just to listen to and watch.
Looking forward to your interview with Ren - you're gonna have so many interesting questions and discussion with Ren that weren't covered with Justin's interview.
Ren is waging war on all the corporate & elite pigs and bringing discourse amongst the masses in his own unique way #RenemyOfTheState 🦾
You're the only ones who caught the dogs playing cards reference, he mentioned on Twitch that those paintings inspired this and he dropped it into the video as an easter egg!😊😅
In Animal Farm, Napoleon (the main pig) walks on two legs (unsteadily) with a cane at the end of the book.
It’s a reference to George Orwells book animal farm. Look at the writing on the wall in the beginning of the video.
Thanks for the insight and superchat
You guys were asking about what character he's playing. It kinda reminds me of Dr Moreau who is mixing animals with humans to create some "evolved race". It doesn't work and all the experiments return to their beastial nature.
IDK if that's what Ren was going for, but I wouldn't be surprised with all his other literary references.
Great reaction guys! Can't wait for the interview... mushy peas!
You need to watch Clockwork orange and Lord of the rings add British Politics and the Royalty to get how deep this is.
Yeesssss. Love your image and it reminds me of the cane walk on the street is like Willy Wonka walking with a cane to the gate to let the kids in.
@@longkesh1971 Bang on Willy Wonka forgot that classic movie..
I couldn't watch this reaction that I waited all week for until Ren's mini concert on Twitch live was over! Im here now, tho! 🎉❤😂
Those are the 7 rules from the book Animal Farm by George Orwell. One of Orwell's finest works, it is a political fable based on the events of Russia's Bolshevik revolution and the betrayal of the cause by Joseph Stalin. The book concerns a group of barnyard animals who overthrow and chase off their exploitative human masters and set up an egalitarian society of their own. All animals must follow those rules are they are outcasts and even killed. It symbolises Russian rule during Stalin and was specifically written for that reason since it's an old book.
I believe the animals escape and burn the farmers house down a.k.a. remove tyrants and the animals and other humans end up playing poker together at the end. The farmer was keeping the animals from humans and humans were kept away from the animals because the farmer didn't want the humans to actually see the horrors they dealt with.
As for the pigs, they are the ones that start and lead the revolution.
Ren plays a role where has assimilated with the animals where both humans and animals have joined forces to take down the corporations, greed, profits and cruelty.
He's basically saying that Ren and his fans are going to take over and let everyone be who they want to be and not follow cookie-cutter rap beats and styles.
I might be reaching far there but that's the vibe I'm getting.
Watched the Premiere of Animal Flow and have watched the video a few times both with sound and without to try and pick all the amazing detail in it and then listened to the sound without the video - so much amazing stuff to absorb and now going to start watching reactions- a day later!
Saw a few clips of Animal Flow on Ren’s IG stories over a year ago and love finally seeing it all come to life. Wow - just seeing the video and how Ren moves around it - the one take - read about the shoot on Ren’s YT channel and saw him discuss his influences for this with Justin Hawkins.
Think Ren said in his twitch feed after Illest that film influences his videos sometimes more than music - think he mentioned Eyes Wide Shut for this one but also the Clockwork Orange Vibe with his outfit.
Watching Ren videos is always fun but,even more fun, is watching reactions and having discussions about your thoughts and your interpretation of what Ren has done, said in his vids. This is no exception. Ren gets you to talk and think as well as producing some amazing work.
Really looking forward to seeing a Ren x BP interview. Thanks for another great reaction.
The king's coronation is in 2 days. I don't think the timing of this video is a mistake.
George Orwell references. The way he wrote this song, performed the vid with all the animals and the end scene with him and the 2 pigs was genius.
AGAIN all 1 take. The boy is baaaaad
Ren's new video reminds me of, The Island of Doctor Moreau by H.G. Wells and Animal Farm by George Orwell. Both are great books to read.
Awesome video like always and thank you for your hard work.
Has a clockwork orange feel in the video. Love it
It's never too late BP.. As humans despite having things to teach as we age we are still forever learning until the inevitable end... Honestly better late than never.. And ur having fun with it too wich is great. I love how music educates or opens the mind to education of all kinds
Can't wait for the interview man. Animal Flow is insane. The beat is monster. Ren did mention at his twitch stream after the premiere, Kanye was a refference. Love the reaction as always! 🔥 Also, Ren does nearly eveything himself. It's mad how creative the guy is!
Woot!!!
Much love and mad respect ❤️❤️ #REN and #BLACKPEGASUS
Clock work Orange vibe ⏰️ 🍊 definitely 👌
Friggen Brilliant!!! Based on George Orwells Animal Farm!!!
WOW!!!!!
BEYOND BRILLIANT!!!!
New King of England is being corinatated this weekend. Timing????
I'm with Don Juan! I read 1984, Animal Farm, Fahrenheit 451, and watched Clockwork Orange so long ago, middle school in the late 80s! Ren has given me an excitement to go back now and redo.
Black P... you've said it before... it's Animal farm done Stanley kubrick style! He said in his live stream he chose the location because it gave him a Stanley kubrick vibe!
Ren gave you a shout out on his Twitch stream today! Can't wait for the interview.
Hell yeah guys. When you said you wanted to interview Ren i was thinking that he woukd probably do it. Hes all about communities lifting each other up. And you guys have been super supporting of Ren. I love how you bring people on thats never heard of Ren and turn them on to him as well as good breakdowns of the music. Yall are awesome. If anyone deserves an interview with Ren its you.
be sure to get Animal Flow Trending at number one.
And I posted that before I watched the reaction
@@thiswildridecalledlife9194 Cool Beans. and Ahh love your name.
@@thiswildridecalledlife9194 Wow I love to hear this as I hate that type music. Music should be educationally fun as well as fcking great. lol Yeah this Wild Ride Called life. I call it a fun ride called life because I stay in my 360. haha
actually love this. Animal Flow, from the Animal Farm (laws on the wall)...led by the Shepherd not the Sheep (Hi REN) and the visualization of Clockwork Orange and the the leader of the Droogs. Ren is still on another level...again...with ANOTHER ONE SHOT VIDEO. watch that again.
It's 100% All Him!!!! Based on George Orwells Animal Farm! Look it up!
Beyond Brilliant!!!!
Ren talked about the dog painting!!! He thought people would miss it, and you picked up on that! Great!!! 😃
It's Animal Farm a book by George Orwell. Famous for the quote 'All animals were created equal, but some are created more equal than others'. The moral of the story is that Napoleon (the pig... a returning character in Ren's music videos) and based on Joseph Starlin re-writes the rules or 'commandments' en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_Farm every Ren video features the different animals. The 'original' commandments are:
Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.
Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.
No animal shall wear clothes.
No animal shall sleep in a bed.
No animal shall drink alcohol.
No animal shall kill any other animal.
All animals are equal.
Later Napoleon revised them to:
No animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets.
No animal shall drink alcohol to excess.
No animal shall kill any other animal without cause.
It's a twist on the seven commandments.
He's is telling you RUclips is a political propaganda machine and you are part of it.
Yeah but, how would we hear about Ren if not for youtube, apple music, spotify etc. Thats the issue, to connect as a collective we need a way to connect as a collective.
Like everything we have to take a little bad with the good, the yin and the yang, the light and the dark, they need us too remember, without us they are nothing. Just using the internet, your in the system.
It's a dilemma isn't it.
@evavalleyLotusGoat and I don't think it is coincidence this came out the day before the coronation of 'King' Charles...
The walk is a nod to "Willy Wonka" and also the lick, its the umpa-lumpas song.......so clever
It's a lot deeper thank you think.
George Orwell - Animal Farm (7 laws on the wall & LOTS of double meaning lyrics),
A Clockwork Orange - White clothes with the cane, walk & facial expressions & eydrop by the eyes
Willly Wonka/Mad Hatter (Alice in Wonderland) - Oompa Loompa type sounds in beginning & vibe
It's just REN and his group of friends using whatever he has accessible in his surroundings . . Omg he's a Genius ❤
FIRE SONG AND VIDEO!!! LETS GO!!! Excited to watch this reaction now! LETS GOOOOOOO!!!!!
It's like Orwell mixed with Lord of the Flies... And then sprinkle in some Vonnegut. Genius mind.
So much going on..
I am lovin it.
You can hear the pin hitting the ground too
His beat box stuff.. this is so sic
Excellent as usual boys... and 'Animal Flow'.... over 55k views in TWO hours.. Wow!!... Ren is going strataspheric
Re: who he reminds you of... He reminded me of Ricardo Montalban from Fantasy Island series.
Love it guys! Can't wait for the interview. You should have Andy Roo or Ian Taylor or some of your other Ren introductions in on it too! Would love to hear the questions they would ask him.
You guys had a great take on it 👍
Yo my guys, This is dope! The only thing about releasing a full hip hop album, is that his audience is now condition to expect the unexpected. With no particular genre or style from track to track. I think the audience who is finding and diving into Ren's full music catalog is hungry for that level of uncertainty.
Now I'm going to check out a cpl of yours. But You really need to jump all in to Ren's - Love Music 1, 2, & 3. And #3 is super fire. Also Insomnia is incredible also.
George Orwell, Animal Farm… Ren is so clever and a pure Genius in his writing, production and one take videos. One in a generation artist 🙌
I’ll be watching that interview! Can’t wait!
'The information on the wall' is basically George Orwell's Animal Farm
"All animals are equal. Appended to these commandments is the mantra or slogan 'four legs good, two legs bad', because animals (who walk on four legs) are their friends while their two-legged human overlords are evil. 'Four legs good, two legs bad', then, is a political slogan in Animal Farm."
I agree! HUMBLE and GENESIS!❤❤
I think people are starting to understand Ren. He's just... Ren. No pretensions. Nothing except an imagination, love of music, and insane levels of talent. Those who stuck with calling him a "bard" are right - he uses styles for the sake of the story. Everything is to further the message or theme he wants to present or evoke. The closest style i can think of to describe him would be "Punk Hop" but even that isn't all that accurate. Better to call it a show than a music video. He'd be incredible on Broadway.
If Ren created a Broadway show or movie it'd be insane. So far the vids I've seen are all mini-movies, all have a beginning and end & tell a story that most people can follow, regardless of age or music tastes. To think of him & maybe Sam if he chose to, having the time to extend their creativity into a full length production .... there's no limit to what they could come up with. They don't even need a big budget, all their vids are done with minimal gear and they're better than any expensive music vid I've seen. People would leave the theaters stunned not knowing which part to focus on.
Bradmore he says. I'm not keen on people trying to put him in a US hip hop pigeon hole. He's different simple as. He's a genius.
Just heard of Animal Farm from this song and it's crazy how history repeats. It goes from 'All animals are equal.' to 'All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.'
REN said he was a fan of Aldous Huxley (author of Brave New World) and George Orwell. Makes me love him 1000% even more! Huxley was Orwell’s mentor and he predicted what is happening.
He's being WIlly Wonka which is a callback to The Hunger. That's why the beginning sounds like the Oompa Loompa song and he's limping with the cane when he walks...
Great reaction guys and look forward to an interview with Ren 🙏🙏🙏
Hello, I am a relatively new listener to your channel. I was born in Denver and Retired out of Fort Carson. I was wounded in Afghanistan. I relate to Ren in many ways. It is not easy coming back from combat and having your Career end in a split second on 1 June 2009. It resulted in my use of a wheelchair. But yes Animal Farm, Clockwork Orange,
I am alive and learning how to walk with the help of my KFOs (C-Braces). Keep doing your thing and can't wait to see the Interview with, Ren.
I think Ren is an absolute genius with his productions. He can do it all. I could listen to his music all day damn. And this video is animal farm based, you can hear th story as he flows. the animals being led to slaughter by other animals. and great reactions guys, keep them coming.
A complete gem. Filming style very Stanley Kubrick clockwork orange and in here for it
Ren said yes on the interview. You go! YES
This definitely about anamial farm. Great time to read the book again, and refresh your mind to the message..
Humans are animals too, you know. We're part of the animal kingdom. We are animals that eat other animals ourselves. We just see us at the top of the foodchain.
Had me nervous there until you finally mentioned the clockwork orange angles. Shouldn't have doubted 😉Ren's drawing so many parallels with sounds, visuals, and lyrics. Thank you for the honesty about the reading. One phenomenon that's so true is that you see the world very differently as you age. I encourage everyone to re-read Animal Farm, 1984, and other things 'ahead of their time' with the eyes of our recent lived shared experiences. Or read it for the first time, with purpose. Really puts things in perspective. Then maybe we'll have a chance....
As far as the animals eating humans perspective, I’d say the broader allegory here is that we are the animals. The animals shown aren’t eating humans per se, but the cows are eating beef, and the pig is butchering a pig. He is telling us that we humans are eating each other. His character is the authoritarian ruler/billionaire/politician striding confidently through the cannibalism and chaos that he set in place to keep us at each other’s throats. Keeping us in that state of mind is the method he used to attain and maintain that power over us.
Great reaction and good catch on the scene with the animals playing cards. Google Animal Farm by George Orwell. It gives the song meaning and explains the pig.
Good on you mate! It's awesome that Ren had reached out to you. Good luck bro! Sending love all the way from Australia........................
The rules come from Animal Farm by George Orwell. The rules that the animals made after the uprising against the farmer.
I'm feeling more of a Willy Wonka-Orwell mix with Rens character in this one, maybe with a little bit of Clockwork tossed in. I say Wonka because of the opening beat, and the way he's leading us through the "Animal Farm" like it's a tour of the Chocolate Factory.
He also mentions Lord of the Flies. One of the characters is called piggy by the bullies.
Ren just cemented his super stardom... every song is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
...and Im having the time of my life 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Song is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ren is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Reaction is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥...thanks guys good job. Love your work.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The writing on the wall is Animal Farm. Not playing the farm owner - the animals overthrow the farm owner before the pigs eventually take his place.
The character he's playing is along the lines of the main character from Clockwork Orange, possibly with a little Willy Wonka thrown in, especially the opening of the song.
Well, you jumped in with the Clockwork Orange piece right after I hit to post
Orwells Animal farm in a music edition - Love it ❤❤❤
The book Animal Farm is what served as the clear inspiration...the 7 laws were the Animal Farm laws. Very cool.
Love the reactions. Love you FUQ BOYZ… represent! 👊🏼
