Your comments about his careful and clever arrangement of this acoustic version and interplay between the guitars are interesting. I was struck by his great vocals, perfect pitch and the sound quality of this outdoor recording. Someone mentioned he might have been using a Zoom Mike, as well as the ones we see. I don't know what that is, but whatever they used, it WORKS! Another Reactor was 'certain' that was the LA Skyline. Maybe, but I thought he was back in Canada? I also thought I saw a plastic hospital ID band on his wrist!? If so, did he duck out of a clinic somewhere, temporarily, to go up this hill overlooking the city, to record this?!? Questions! Regardless; a great Live performance, which, in many ways I prefer to the original clip.
I Cannot get over how he can pick a different melody (Dr Dre bit!) over another melody (his song!), while Rapping so Fast too!!! People have no idea just how difficult that is!!!
I hate being that person who always seems to say, "I prefer the live acoustic version," but damn, how can one not? And this is no slight against the studio/MV original, which I also love. Many thanks, great reaction as always!
It’s not long since he recorded this while visiting LA. Maybe that’s why the nod to Dr Dre and Snoops Next Episode is in there too. I think the Biaaaaatch is also a nod to Snoop. Awesome stuff, nice reaction as always.
All of us used to sing and play leads at the same time, know how difficult it can be, until the muscle memory sets in. But I'm not sure everyone else are aware about how easy it is to slip up. So it's really impressive when he raps fast in one melody while playing the lead in another, of Dre and Snoops "Next episode"!😊
Another great reaction, I love your enthusiasm for Ren and can’t get enough! Here’s a suggestion - why not do all 4 ‘Love Music’ parts in one go? (Part 4 being his most recent release.) Part 3 is one of my favourite things he’s done. So much fun, vocal acrobatics and even impressions. It’s a winner!
I'm not sure if you picked up the Easter eggs Ren dropped as nods to his musical influences, here's what I noticed. Ren's giving homage to Barrington Levy & also Damian Marley's "Welcome To Jamrock" in his new opening (In the streets they call it MURDER) . Ren also gives homage to Dr. Dre with the guitar riff after the word (Blood Splat) from Dre's "Next Episode" ft. Snoop Dog. Also after the Toblerone line he say's "Beeotch" this time instead of "Bitch" which he said in the original track, this is a homage to Snoop Dog who made that slang word famous. All this was added probibly because he's recording this in L.A, when he was on holiday from his treatments in Canada for a few day's. ❤🤯❤. Also, Ren's guitar solo was an homage to another one of Ren's musical influences Django Reinhardt. Reinhardt was probibly one of the most famous Jazz guitarist who; if I'm not mistaken, was actually the 1st person to bring Jazz to the UK. In my humble opinion, that was very much a 30-40's Jazz riff reminiscent of Reinhardt's music. Let me know if you agree or if you think I'm just reaching Jeff 😁. Until next Rensday, Cheers for now.
Loving RENsdays!!! His for Joe is one to watch if not react too as well! Similar backdrop, much more beautiful! And it has some of his Su1cide lyrics... but whole different vibe! Much like his acoustic versions do!
They were overlooking L.A I think Ren does the acoustics for us mostly. There is a goodly number of us that prefer the intimacy of these. He actally did a poll regarding what people would like for a concert. I also think he likes thst persoal, live connection. He loves his busking and has said he misses it
I thought surely this Renesday would be the one you'd get to this and you didn't disappoint. Thanks for bringing up the idea of planning, I think it's easy to overlook due to the campfire-esque vibe but to divy up the parts, as well as incorporate the references, the original Murderer (Barrington Levy) in the beginning, not to mention the tried and true "out in the streets...", as well as the later Dr. Dre reference. I just love how he doesn't mail in an "unplugged" version but thinks about how he can make it unique.
Thank you Jeff spent the day catching up ready for you next Ren …video ,,, you are awesome for making a Rensday for us thank you looking forward checking your other videos out
I read somewhere that Ren got a new Martin guitar about the time for this video. Ren makes it sound so good. I'm partial to Martins since my mom had 2 of them (RIP Mom).
I'm really looking forward to seeing how Ren develops. He is, or they are, as there's clearly more than Ren involved, more than just a musician. Song writer, musician, producer, location researcher, sound, video producer, and the list goes on. His videos cover almost every aspect of performing art, yet there are so few involved. Does he continue as a musician or go off in another direction. So much talent in so many areas. Yes, I look forward to where this leads, and how it influences others. Exciting times ahead.
I didn’t even realize it was Rensday already 😂 it’s been a weird week. His acoustic versions always find a way to surprise me, and I loved what he did here. It was absolutely brilliant, and I liked the way you described it as hot potato with the dominant guitar parts. Completely understand the need to space things out! The one I’m looking forward to most is Money Game 3 in October. 💜
Always enjoy listening to your Ren reactions on Rendays…but totally get making room for new artists and doing Ren every other week. After all, that’s how we all found Ren! I’m wanting to listen to more of your other reactions🥰
Ren inspires me to delve deeper into my art. This is great. Love my rensday inspiration. I love your reactions. I’ve been low key following for years, started with Snarky Puppy and Dirty Roots :)
@StrateleStudios The more i listen to Ren The more he reminds me of a young Manu Chao (singer of the Mano Negra) Solo songs like Bongo Bong or Clandestino. Or songs like "Out of time Man" and "Pas assez de Toi" from the Mano Negra. I am sure Ren would enjoy Manu Chao as both are quite "out there" and talented to no end! Thank you for all your great reaction videos, i always part with something cool after your analysis. ^__-
@@Skittenmeow ah ok, had to look, i for some reason put the for joe hillside as the same. i stand corrected. many thanks (dekuji) trying out new thank you's thats czech
Brilliant analysis as always, I’m not a musician but I love music. I’m drawn to Ren and not just because he went to school with my daughter! Normal listening for me would be Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd etc. but Ren resonates somehow. I can’t wait to see your next reaction.
I am waiting ... I may have to REPORT SS to RUclips for mental torture waiting every Rendesday ,for what is clearly the best of all REN vidoes - "FOR JOE"
I get the feeling you would have an amazing beard if you let it grow out a bit. Like an inch to an inch and a half. If it were me, I would let it grow for 90 days to see where it wants to lay and then shape it.
A suggestion: people are watching to see your reaction, maybe make yourself the bigger portion of the video. Just about everyone tuning in has seen the original.
I appreciate your comment but as soon as I do that I will get a dozen comment asking me to make the artist bigger so they can get more into the video. The way it is now has proven to be the way most of my viewers prefer. Go figure hahaha.
@@StrateleStudios cool if that's the case I'd just watch the original video again to at least increase the view count. Just saying I'm here for your reaction. Edit: but I guess you hold most of your thoughts till after the video plays so I get it either way.

Hahaha, if you only knew how long other people have had to wait for a reaction to a song by THIER favorite artist. Ren gets more attention on my channel than any other artist for the last few months. Feel fortunate yet? 😆

People have no idea just how difficult that is!!!
This guy is really something special👍🏻
Ren puts so much thought into everything. I appreciate how he adapted it to pay tribute to Dr Dre and Snoop since he was in LA.
Highly produced or just a guitar Ren will always sound as Ren. A sound that will hunt us for a century to come. Stay true
I hate being that person who always seems to say, "I prefer the live acoustic version," but damn, how can one not? And this is no slight against the studio/MV original, which I also love. Many thanks, great reaction as always!
Accoustic always are better x
Yeah me too, but I'm always glad both or multiple versions exist as completely different moods❤
you’re not alone in this 😄
Yessss
I agree his acoustic versions always better
It’s not long since he recorded this while visiting LA. Maybe that’s why the nod to Dr Dre and Snoops Next Episode is in there too. I think the Biaaaaatch is also a nod to Snoop.
Awesome stuff, nice reaction as always.
Drop it like it’s hot fam!
Thanks for letting it play to the end. some of the reactors miss the ending strum which is part of the fun.
Ren is gonna win ewry Music Awards this year
😁💙🇫🇮🪄🎉🎼✨💯🤘

Hmmmm this gives me some ideas 🤔
Ren puts a unique spin on all of his live versions. I love it! Thank you ❤️
I love Ren's cinematic videos.
But, this is my favorite way to see/hear him.
Just the man and the music.
Perfect.
How this version only has 302k views is criminal!!!😲
Between his older stuff... and his band The Big Push... there's Many Many more Great Ren tracks to go!!!!
Love his acoustics! Love he played the DRE riff in LA on the 50th anniversary of hip hop too 🖤

How did u learn Reinhart was one of his influences ?

How could a Live version be this GOOD! Perfect reaction . Loving Wednesdays with your channel.
Well you know when it’s a ren session it gonna be just brilliant he never lets us down and fantastic review from you
Thank you my friend! 😊😊😊🫶
WoooHoooo! I love this. Nice view of Los Angeles at sunset.
Show!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤it! C u soon! Renegade uk
Conner's first time filming a video... Congratz!!!
I'm not from LA but some research on Google maps matching skyline and distance I'd say that was recorded at Baldwin heights.
Seeing your joyous reaction made my day. Ren really is a legend and a lyrical chameleon.
Thank you Jeff spent the day catching up ready for you next Ren …video ,,, you are awesome for making a Rensday for us thank you looking forward checking your other videos out

Thanks so much.. nice reaction! ♥️🎶♥️
Thank you too! 🫶

Hi Jeff,
Your enthusiasm for these video's is infectious. I love what Ren does but I love your insightful reactions just as much ❤️ 💖 💗
Aw thanks so much David, I really appreciate it! 😃🫶🤍❤️
My favorite part of this performance is that he plays The Next Episode by Dr Dre & snoop dogg WHILE rapping that crazy second verse. Amazing!
Great lyrics...just flows out of him. Super presentation...like usual Ren
🫶
Nice review,love this version. Oof course Ren puts an incredible amount of thought into everything he does, and it shows.
❤Ren is so good at choosing the perfect location for an atmospheric experience. I always love hearing him play the guitar❤
Great again isn't it? Love seeing how much you enjoyed 😊
Great Reaction again, I actually prefer this version to the Performance video but its a close call. Look forward to the next reaction! 👍
I still can’t wipe the smile off my face whilst listening to this…it’s amazing. Thanks for your reaction.
😃
Another cool reaction (as usual). This was def shot in LA too.
Great reaction video!! Will be watching for more rensdays!!
I really like the solo.
🤓🇸🇪
❤️🔥

Always enjoy your Ren reactions and would be interesting to a see an interview with @RenMakesMusic and you 😀
this was done in La
Been waiting for you to get to this one!
Always great to get your take.

I’m wanting to listen to more of your other reactions🥰
Thank you Louise! I still cover Ren but it’s hard keeping up weekly. I get sooooo many requests…there aren’t enough days in the week hahaha. 🫶🫶🫶
Love always hearing your perspective 😊 I would love to see an interview with him on this channel!
If he lands here with a comment I’ll definitely bring it up.
@@StrateleStudios That would be so great to see!

Ren's acoustic version on Genesis is my absolute favorite. If you haven't listened to it yet, I would love to see your reaction and thoughts.
❤❤❤❤
I really enjoyed your reaction. ✨
Glad you enjoyed! 😊😊😊🫶
Nice one ❤
plus reach out as im sure he would respond

He and the Big Push have made a great cover to Bongo Bong
@@REN4eva thanks i had no idea.
Money Game trilogy! ❤❤❤
i believe its a hillside in canada where he is getting treatment, like for joe.
LA definitely, Ren confirmed as such that he was flying to LA to record a live acoustic version
@@Skittenmeow ah ok, had to look, i for some reason put the for joe hillside as the same. i stand corrected. many thanks (dekuji) trying out new thank you's thats czech
To Brain, is to hit in the head!
Brilliant analysis as always, I’m not a musician but I love music. I’m drawn to Ren and not just because he went to school with my daughter! Normal listening for me would be Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd etc. but Ren resonates somehow. I can’t wait to see your next reaction.
Thank you Rich! It’s amazing how Ren is able to transcend boundaries like he does. I’m not a huge fan of rap but I love it when Ren does it!
Much prefer the acoustic version - can't help but smile with it.
Just curious, could you envision a Ren/Alejandro collab? Cameo 🤔 got a birthday coming up 😅
Let’s do it Deborah, hahaha! 😄👏👏👏
RENs lives and acoustic versions are just brilliant. Like a new song altogether. 😘😘😘😘 September will be RENs Album release.
I've noticed Ren reactions have been slowing down recently. Only a couple reactors continue to do it regularly, at least from the reactors I watch.
I am waiting ... I may have to REPORT SS to RUclips for mental torture waiting every Rendesday ,for what is clearly the best of all REN vidoes - "FOR JOE"
Hahaha…patience!
🤍🪽🤍
🤍🤍🤍
What happened man no more Ren reactions? Rensday. It's pretty weird that I know that but I was just curious
More coming soon! I’ve had such a backlog of video requests to get through but I’m looking at next week for Ren so keep an eye out!
I get the feeling you would have an amazing beard if you let it grow out a bit. Like an inch to an inch and a half. If it were me, I would let it grow for 90 days to see where it wants to lay and then shape it.
Not a bad idea, I’ll have to try that at some point. I like to change it up now and then. I get bored hahaha.
