Видеоклипы
Ren writes and makes his own beats and music. He is the real deal.
You can do reactions to EVERY one of his songs/vids/1takes/live songs, etc bc they ARE ALL amazing. The dude is top tier.
Just glad he is getting his due, finally.
It's ordinary rapper's for me.......try our boy ez mil multiple genre's and more....
Other “rap rap” videos from Ren: “The Hunger” and “Genesis.”
Voting for the Hunger too. Its the best rap he has done and thats saying something.
Losing It
This!!
@@Sinyk2u Yup, definitely that one too! And tbh there’s a lot more haha. Just didn’t want to overwhelm Crypt 😂
@@csmkorn1 The choices! I'm loving watching all of these RENaissance reactions! Can't get enough!
If you want to hear him rap rap... check out "The Hunger" and "Losing It"
Dude Ren is no joke! He actually is his own producer. You should react to Genisis next, it has to be my favorite from him!
Said it before but Ren is fucking amazing and if wanna hear some of his best work, you have to check out his Trilogy: Jenny's, Screech's, then Violet's Tale. Absolutely incredible
It's all together in one RUclips video, he should just react to that video!
yes.yes.yes.
Gotta check out Ren's song "Power"... And like, all of his other songs. Man is a musical genius.
Yes!! He has soooooo many styles and skills. Hunger, Lose It and his 36 bar challenge are great examples of his phenomenal rap skills, Chalk Outlines and Crutch are some of my favorite examples of his amazing singing voice. The Tale of Jenny and Screetch trilogy is a mind blowing story with an amazing plot twist in the third song that ties them all tghr. Money Game 2 and Crucify Your Culture are great songs depicting where society is at, God there are honestly too many amazing songs that are amazing to list, even if you don't react to them on video, check them out regardless xo
I think it is the 16 bar challenge but I approve of everything!
@@kellyt5341 your right! xo
I would add ska/reggae Ren with Eden Nash Humble and Ocean.
@@pennytipp Yes, the reactors don't listen to them fast enough(hehe). Go through his whole list and worry about other artist when you finish the list even though there will always be new songs from Ren..lol. PS. Put Chinchilla's list out as well.
@@kellyt5341 🙌
You gotta do the tale of jenny and screech!
The Tale of Jenny and Screech. It's a song trilogy, a tragedy in three parts. Each song performed live in one take (like Hi Ren). Sounds completely different from both Hi Ren and Illest of Our Time. You want to see Ren's full range...guitar, singing, rhyme flows, performance...there you go.
He has to react to this one. It's my favorite.
Absolutely. All three
My personal favorite of his is Blind Eyed (Live). A lot of people like the “Angry car park attendant” version of that song because it’s funny, and it is… but I think their other live version on the street or MC Sessions is a better listen of the actual song itself. Not to mention it features Sam Tompkins, who is an amazing singer
Blind Eyed is also one of my favorites but unfortunately not many people seem to end up reacting to that one.
React to both versions I have seen some others do that. Totally worth watching both. Angry Car Park Attendant is my favorite because they are totally raw walking out and they sound amazing!!!
So many too cover. Do some street performance or the trilogy of jenny and screech
Angry car park attendant version is my favourite not because it’s funny but because of how casually they’re killing the song. It really shows how damn good they both are that it can sound that good when it’s such a chill performance while just having fun and things go wrong and they’re walking around. Effortlessly amazing. It is funny too though 😂
And Humble and Ocean.. also amazing!
The hunger, genesis, and losing it are some of his best rap songs. What You Want, is his nod to the beestie boys. Singing wise i would do: How To Be Me, Chalk Outlines, Ocean, and Children Of The Moon. There is so much its tough to pick a few, he also was in a band The Big Push and they have a ton of music together.
hes ace
you need to do sick boi, that song will give you more context on his illness, and after that Genesis
Loved the reaction! I'm not sure how much you know about Ren's fight with Lyme disease, but a lot of the bars (including the title) are referring to that... also a lot of double and triple+ entendres in there. Here's a comment Ren posted shortly after the song's release (good read):
"Overhwlemed by the amount of support for illest Of Our Time. Have been loving watching all the reaction videos and hearing everyone's interpretation. I never usually break down my own words because I love letting people apply their own meaning, but there was one line I wanted to explain. The title of the song. Alot of people took this to mean "The greatest Of Our Time"
"Look for all the answers that I never seem to find,
Till then I guess I'm still the illest of our time"
Its my reluctance to be the illest - the clue is in the word 'guess' - ive spent the better part of a decade looking for solutions to the damage lyme disease dealt with countless doctors visits, and am still in that boat. "Illest" can also mean "dopest" "best" etc. So it's a bit of a double entendre. Same as "Sick boi"
This theme is repeated with the line "elementary dear Watson you might find" cause Sherlock Holmes was always searching for the clues to piece the puzzle together, which is very relatable when trying to piece together parts of a very complex health picture, anyone with a very complex illness will relate to almost having to become your own detective.
And finally
"A pathologic entity -
if eveything is set in stone then this is how its meant to be"
Acceptance that this might just be the cards I've been dealt.
To search for answers and simultaneously accept that chronic illnest may be your fate is a bit of a paradox because it is the rejection of acceptance that spurs you forward in the persuit of answers, but it is the acceptance that you may always be sick that let's you lead a more peaceful life... so one must walk this contradictory line between both opposing states to have the motivation to find the answers whilst not being so outcome dependent. Still haven't mastered this, but think it's an interesting concept."
This^
Once you learn more about Ren and his past, his words will make more sense and you'll get more out of his music...
Also... Mercury... Freddy Mercury // Mercury the element is heavy - it also flows (liquid at room temp) // Mercury was also the god of eloquence, messages, and communication (also commerce, merchants, etc), and considered the inventor of music and the arts in Britain and Gaul. I think that makes it a quadruple entendre. LOL
@@davidjones4252 insights bro! 👌🤌🔥❤️
@@frankensteinfpv i just got into rens stuff.. u got any song recommendations that talk more of his past and himself because I really like his music from what I've heard so far:)
@@themadpotato9954 He was doing a video blog for a couple years about his struggle with chronic fatigue (M.E. - what he was diagnosed with prior to being diagnosed with the actual problem - Lyme disease). Feb 2015 was an exceptionally heart breaking one... It was a little less than a year before his Lyme diagnosis. Link to the account:
www.youtube.com/@mevsme3108
Seeing those also give you a sense of his sheer strength of will. Here's another video that really drives it home: ruclips.net/video/284ugnS_ruQ/видео.html - it was filmed during the time of the blog posts.
Eleven is Millie Bobby Brown's character in Stranger Things, which yes, features a Demogorgon
The masochist line will make more sense once you listen to "The Tale of Jenny and Screech"
I haven't heard this one yet, but I've been on the Ren train for a few years now. Glad to see him getting more recognition since he dropped Hi Ren.
This was his bday drop.... next drop is May 4th
"Losing it" is amazing to me. Raping over a straight EDM beat.
That was a triple... gotta add he's actually sick! It was about his illness!
Plus... He makes all his own beats!
Welcome the the rabbit hole, and it be deep brotha. It’s not just on Ren’s channel. “The Big Push” is his old band. And there is some live busking with Ren on Sam Tompkins channel that are insanely good.
Welcome to the RENaissance!! 🤘
Edit: he makes his own beats, writes his own lyrics, produces his own sound, and I won’t go into the instruments he can play.
He is a damn savant!!
Really try our boy ez mil multiple genre's and more than you think...
You nailed it in one word 👏 'Savant' They're my thoughts exactly! 😘 I don't mind admitting I'm obsessed with Ren.
- Song, dance & theatre, have been my life - Music courses through my veins. I'm almost 60 and I've never seen anyone make an impact like this since Freddie Mercury, and he broke the mould at the time. Ren's artistry, ability and vision is further reaching than Freddie's. I'm excited to see how far he can go considering he's a committed independent Artist. My hopes are high though ❤
You definitely need to react to the hunger and sick boy!! But really there are so many but I would definitely do those two if you were going the rep side of rent.
Definitely the hunger he goes off on that, chalked outline with chinchilla live is amazing, dominoes is personally my fav track
He is a rapper, a bard, a spoken word poet, a goofball, deeply emotional and has a very down do earth attitude. He also has a (some might say) rebellious view on politics (his songs Crucify Your Culture, Money Game 1 and 2) but he never disappoints. He knows his stuff and always pays hommage where it's due whenever it comes to hip-hop. Just prepare to not be prepared...ever 😂
Lets go more Ren. Do the trilogy please. Jenny and Screech tales full
Crypt and Ren collab song?😮
I'd love that
No way ren is levels way above crypt
@michael kline and eminem is levels way above logic but they still got a song together🤷 just saying it would be an awesome collab
@@firstnamelastname-fr9lf ok your right but I'd rather see a collab with hop or nf
@@michaelkline8173that's silly, completely different artists. Crypt has mad skill rapping clean and fast with meaning. Ren is extremely creative (not saying Crypt isn't ) but it's clear Ren is a 1 in a generation talent at creativity
He produces his own beats bro. Dude has got mad skills.
Such a cool song and unique artist. Cheers from Germany
Love the reaction Crypt! Ren is an absolute beast. Check out the Big Push (Band Ren is/was in) and Chinchilla...she's a beast too! I love the versatility. You may too!
Ren - "Animal Flow" premiers 5/4. If you want to keep going with the rap aspect of Ren, "The Hunger", "Losing it (FISHER rap retake)", "Genesis" and more.
I highly suggest jumping over to some of his other aspects though. His first viral video (11 million views too) was actually a few years ago while he was busking in the streets of Brighton - "Ren & Sam Tompkins - Earned it /Mans World / Falling".
Also, of course, what I call his Shakespearian tragedy "The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full)". the "Full" version is actually three live recordings combined. I suggest doing this rather than watching them separately.
Keep going into the Ren catalogue but also have a quick read about his medical history, it'll help understand where he's come from!!!
Oh man, I really hope you go down the rabbit hole, and look at his older stuff too! For a Shakespearean story (told masterfully through song) I recommend “The talks of Jenny & Screech (Full)” - simply mind blowing. - also, Ren typically creates his own beats 😅
Once you get to know more of Ren's background, life story and catalog of music you'll also notice different Easter eggs Ren drops into the Schemes and some of the meanings you pick up reading in-bettween the bars he's spitting. My breakdown of "I don't feel so well" section. 😁🤩
I don’t feel so hot my brother
Aching, shaking, stop then stutter
Things gone wrong
Hit by King King Kong
A Swan-ton bomb like Hardy Brothers
He's explaining what he's been going through, his symptoms, how he feels when he's at his worst, (aching, shaking, stuttering). What the pain is like when it's bad, like being (hit by King Kong) or (Slamed on his head) by the WWE wrestlers the Hardy brothers.
I don't feel so fresh my bro
Things get slurry speaking slow
Head in Hong Kong wonton soup
Is what I have for Brains I know
Second stanza is some of the side effects/damage he's experienced (Things get slurry speaking slow) caused by the Lyme disease going undiagnosed for so long. The Lyme ate away at the Cerebral Cortex {membrane surrounding his brain} explaining the bar (Wonton Soup is what I have for Brains, I know). That's why he's in Canada being treated by one of the top specialists in the World who may be able to save him from brain damage and give him a chance at a long and healthy life. Much of Ren's past experiences with the medical system, health issues, depression, his vieews on society/gov is part of his music.😎
Good break down! I really wish reactors watched the music in the order we got them, seen so many miss that the entire song is just doubles talking about how he's actually sick. While he's using every line to also tell everyone he's 'the illest'(best) of our time
Yes, so many doubles/triples referring to his illness: sick little puppy; iron lung = the lungs for bars without a breath, but also an early version of a ventilator, used for polio patients; psychopathic tendencies; detectives = searching for a proper diagnosis/treatment; spoonful of sugar helps him take his prescribed medicine, but when he's merry and poppin' off, he's also the sweet spoonful that helps us take OUR medicine (the facts he spits). Shotgun shell to the noggin = the suicidal temptations he's had at low points in his illness; catchy bronchitis, funeral coffin is an obvious one; 666 and villain/masochist bars, evangelism described as cancerous = spiritual illness. Hooligans vs police, hierarchies and tearing down royalty = social illness. Heavy metal mercury is a good catch, and mercury is also toxic and causes chronic illness.
@Robert Marar -- Love your breakdown of the illness references in the "don't feel so well" verse; I don't think it's coincidental that this section interrupts some of the hardest bars in the song -- I see it as a parallel to how his illness stopped his music career just as it was getting going. (the only part of this bar I haven't seen anyone comment on yet is how he rhymes "King Kong" and "Swanton" with "Hong Kong" and "Wonton"...delightful!)
Finally, tattered/broken wings are a common metaphor for people who don't have their full health anymore; also possibly a reference to fallen angels and Icarus (as well as his own "banishment" from the music industry when he got ill). Intuition gettin' wise being the silver lining Ren's found in his experiences with mental illness. And then, per Ren's explanation, the ending goes back to the detective metaphor -- still looking for the right treatments, until then he's both Illest and Illest. 🖤
Love the Ren run ❤
Ren is the epitome of versatility 😊
Crypt definitely needs to check out The Hunger by Ren 😂 also needs to do the almost mandatory Tale of Jenny and Screech reaction.
Thanks for your reaction. React to "The Tale of Jenny and Screetch" (full). He is a genius storyteller!! Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole!!
Still wanna recommend Blind Eyed. It's the type of song most people can relate to.
I'll second that.... as long as it's the live capture they did for Music Crowns! ;)
@@badm0t0rf1nger That's exactly the one I was thinking of. Should have specified, good call.
Hey bro, please read up on his story and health history in his community tab, then you’ll really find out why he’s the “Illest of our time”… another great reaction man
Ren doesn’t find beats. He makes them. One talented guy.
Dope reaction! Definitely should hit up Money Game parts 1 and 2! Jenny and Screech (Has to be full version! Don't split them up, trust me). Long but absolutely worth it. You'll walk away yet again thinking... I've never seen anything like that!
Like I said before... Ren's got good shit.
Chalk Outlines Live is a must view. Great reaction to this one.
5:40 Ren - “words are kinda muffled when you’re suckin on my massive ….”
7:18 You - “let me back this up a little bit because the words got a little muffled for me”
🤣🤣🤣
I legit haven't heard a bad Ren song yet. He's all over the place genre-wise. Might be a couple that I won't be in the mood for but no actual bad songs. All fire one way or the other
Ren is a multi instrumentalist and makes all his own beats anything you listen to will not disappoint xx much love from UK
You need to check out the tale of Jenny and scretch with voilet the full trilogy. Also Jessica and humble and ocean.
I would recommend checking out some of his busking videos. Particularly the one titled Blind Eyed (Live). Really shows off a lot of Rens instrumentation and vocal skills!!
You've got to do the tales (including Violet's Tale) bro 🔥 his storytelling abilities is just 👌🏽
Rens the real deal bro, one of the best all around musical talents I ever heard. And he makes what he feels like, can't classify him in any genre really..he got bars but his musical talent is top tier. And he has his own style that can't be duplicated..that used to mean something. The past month he's about all I've listened to, huge catalog
Really try our boy ez mil...
@@mangyaninthecity99 EZ Mil? Been there...I checked him out long ago. He's alright
~ Ren - The Hunger ~
~ The Big Push - I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop ~
love the reaction. you should listen to the tale of Jenny and screech(full). and any of his Band "the big Push".
we need a Ren - Tale of Jenny and Screech reaction
Loved your reaction! For a another complete pivot, check out The Tale of Jenny & Screech (FULL). And yet another pivot ... check out his band, "The Big Push" with their busking rendition of "I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/HipHop." Can't wait..
Woo hoo more crypt reacting to ren love the both of y’all’s music
Ren makes his own beats. Genesis, Sick Boi, and ANIMAL FLOW comes out next week! I dig your reactions man!
Killer Animal Farm intro! This track and the video are both insane 🔥 LOVE IT! Ren truly is a lyrical alchemist and produces all of his own beats. Check out The Hunger for straight-up technical expertise, Losing It for some fun flows and rhymes, Genesis, Money Game Pt. 1 & 2, and/or Sick Boi for their message, Chalk Outlines and How To Be Me (both live and featuring Chinchilla) for beautiful vocals, and the Jenny and Screech Trilogy for his pure storytelling ability. This man is a musical and artistic genius! He doesn't do mediocre, period.
All I gotta say is KEEP GOING!!!! Ren has so many bangers! My favs are The Hunger, and The Tale of Jenny & Screech trilogy. The guy can literally do everything.
Also he’s part of a buskin group called THE BIG PUSH and they are incredible.
"Life is funny" bro from ren is pure cadence agility.
Ren writes and makes his own beats and music. Thanks for enjoying this one with us .
Chalk outlines, how to be me are good singing songs and the tale of Jenny and screech and violet is a flexing of his story telling
do his trilogy. will probably be a long ass video, but totally worth a one watch through reaction
He makes his own beats.
“Man, that guy’s RIPPED!!!” Not sure why, but I watched that part like 8 times. Cracked me up.
The next Ren video needs to be “The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full)” trilogy. It is the best!
The Tale of Jenny and Screech is a very story heavy set of songs (3 in total). I highly recommend them!
A reaction for money game pt 1 & 2 would be awesome or losing it! Had fun watching the reaction!🔥
The Hunger, Losing it, Humble, Genesis, Power, Money Game PI & II, Tale of Jenny & Screech Trilogy, Sick Boi, every duet with Chinchilla and Sam Tomkins, everything with the band he was in called The Big Push. What I'm getting to here is that this guy Ren doesn't do fillers and you will be scratching your head wondering WTF? What styles and genres doesn't he do? Add to that a whole lot more of WTF did I just watch unique experiences. Not to mention a pretty cool and heavily invested/connected exploding fanbase from all walks, all ages, all parts of the world. Enjoy the ride, it's a blast
Ren is dope, I'm here early for this, LET'S GO!
His best show off song is the hunger and his best rap songs are probably power and genesis !
Ren- sic boi
Ren- money game part 1-2
Ren- take of Jenny and screech
The big push- i shot the sheriff road to Zion and hip hop (the big push is rens band)
I try to watch every Hi Ren reaction I find, and then I subscribe and follow your Ren journey. It took several months, but I found you. I LOVE your reactions so far!! 😊 Much Love! ❤
To throw you off his Versatility try his Busking band called The Big Push-I shot the sheriff/road to Zion/hip hop.
Back with some Ren my man, thank you! I hope you keep reacting to him, loads of suggestions in the comments already and you can’t go wrong with Ren so I’ll watch whatever else you drop next xx
Love your energy and commitment, thank you 👍
@RenMakesMusic more love over here my man !! your music is making massive waves and its good to see so many others enjoying it.
I’m liking your reactions more and more. Your Ren reactions are really good. Time for me to sub. So many good reactors out there. You re a real one. Going to watch all your Ren now.
Also ren is actually really ill with lime disease and currently getting treatment in Canada
I am so happy that you are checking out Ren. When I opened RUclips and saw this thumbnail I got way too excited lol. Love your reactions and how you catch stuff in the lyrics that just go over my head 😂.
The tale of Jenny and Screech (full) is a MUST. It’s breaches music and straight into the ART realm. It’s a well constructed masterpiece.
This is a DIRTY BEAT! Love it! And a great job with your reaction as per. You a boss bro! Love and peace!!!
comment on the previous ren reaction but The tale of Jenny and screech trilogy is a need to watch
"The hunger", "Money game part 1 and 2, "Genesis", "Tale of Jenny and Screech", "Sick boi", "Blind eye", "Chalk outlines", "Crutch", "Dear God", "Dominoes", "How to be me." Those are the ones I've heard and absolutely loved. (that you've not heard) Not counting his stuff with The big push
Dude you look like you're gettin into shape real good; great job my guy!
Losing It (Fisher retake) Ren
Tale of Jenny and Screech (full version) Ren
.. You won't be disappointed with either
YESSSSS!!!!!!!!! I love these reactions!! THE RENNESANCE IS HERE!! Also I can see cole hopping on a song with him👀
You need to listen to "LOSING IT"
MORE REN!!!!! Honestly he’s the dopest guy on earth
Bro, been following you since before you reacted to Ren but I am SO excited to see you go down his rabbit hole. Prepare yourself!
The Trilogy of Jenny’s Tale, Screech’s Tale, and Violet’s Tale in that order.
Also, Ren makes his beats.
What a rabbit hole to go down. His stuff is varied, catchy, and well done all around. From his busking with The Big Push and Sam, to his live vocal duets with Chinchilla. His older rap like Ocean, his newer stuff like The Hunger, Genesis, Losing It (Fisher retake)..... Then all the stuff that borders between a modern day bard and performance art like The Tale of Jenny and Screetch and Hi Ren. The guy really is a diamond in the rough- and being that he's independent (in the truest sense) makes it all that more amazing. Glad people are finding him.
Bro, please... Check out "The Hunger" next.. It's super impressive. I'd love to hear you break it down. It's a shorter one.... but I totally need you to hear this one!
I always learn when I listen to you break it down. Thanks!
So glad to here you enjoying Ren…Trust me when I say there isn’t another rabbit hole that’s has the depths and layers to it that a Ren rabbit hole does. He literally does it all. Everything is different. You’ll have a new experience every time you listen to something of his. He truly is gifted. The man will blow your mind. His storytelling is second to none.
If you want more RAP RAP stuff that shows off his talents you HAVE to see “Hunger”. That’ll prove he can Rap Rap. Then do “Genesis” and then do “The Tale of Jenny & Screech (Full)” to get your mind blown in a different way. Enjoy the ride. Ren isn’t just an artist, he’s an experience.
Losing it, the tale of Jenny and Skreech, his band the Big Push I shot the sheriff, and anything he does with chinchilla
Thanks for the breakdown man. Really made me appreciate the song more.
Great reaction. Love it. Ur all over it
Loving the daily uploads ngl
Great reaction man, Ren makes most of his own beats, Genesis is probably my favourate of his Hip Hop stuff and the beat is hard asf.
He has so many good music, can't name just one. Great rapper videos like The hunger, or Money Game part II. And check out his band The Big Push too. They have some original stuff, like Xbox Marijuana or Icarus, and some dope covers like Bongo Bong or I shot the Sheriff and many many more...
don‘t forget „Crucify your culture“ brutal rap lyrics with a juicy guitar riff !!!!
A great, in-depth reaction. Thanks.
