Original video: • Ren - Back on 74 / Mes...
FYI - Back on 74 isn't Ren's song, Ren created the arrangement of this mash-up
Opening - Back on 74 - by Jungle (UK electronic funk/soul group, song released 2023)
Bridge - Naughty bars by Ren (original rap lyrics 2024)
Closing - Message in the bottle - by Sting (The Police, song released 1979)
Aside from the wonderful presentation of Ren's vocal range on display, he's taking 2 songs from 2 different decades, adding in his own original rap, & then he magically combines these "3 different genres" & blends them together seamlessly. 🤯✌
Oh, thanks
@@dannytheswedishmusixian1513 He also manages to mention a shout out to Jungle (Back on 74).
He also mentions Nas, as an easter egg to let people know his next song was to be his Nas retake of Halftime, during his "naughty" rap.
My suggestion for more singing:
Ren's *Fred Again mashup (Fred Again is a producer, singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and DJ from UK)
Aha, thanks for the info. And you know what Nas calls himself…Nas Escbar 😁👍🏻
Yeah, Kujo is not the best intro to Ren. You need the context and understand who Ren is to get it. But just know he IS the greatest artist of our time.
He had seen "Hi Ren" and "Bittersweet Symphony" first but didn't record/upload it. He was not a fan of it 😥
100%
@@ella_lefttheroomI find a lot of people don't care for Hi Ren. I personally felt like the world opened up when I saw it.
@@kkossup Yep, for me too. But Danny seems to like the exact type of music that Ren is trying not to produce 🤣 But we love all of that Ren genre! And THAT is why we love it so much! 💜
correct !😂❤
Another vocal performance, "Fred again mashup" Ren's take on 5 songs by EDM artist Fred Again. He changes it to an acoustic performance, his vocals are fire and it is a live performance. Must see. I think you will like this one as well. He also has many originals, he wrote and produced.
If you are a big fan of 90’s rap. You should give REN’s What You Want a listen.
Came here to say this. Ren is a BIG fan of 90s rap. Check this song out next. I’d love to see your reaction.
He doesn't seem to be a big fan of Ren's rap. He should listen to Ren's singing videos like his songs with The Big Push, or the two songs he did with Chinchilla.
@@phlippbergamot5723 or Diazepam or some of the older songs.
I’m amazed (or horrified) that you didn’t start with “Hi REN”. That’s always the first REN experience. It’s done live. He is phenomenal.
Nah, its refreshing to see someone looking at it from another perspective
If you’re a Bob Marley fan check out Ren with The Big Push I Shot The Sheriff/ Road To Zion/ Hip Hop , The Big Push Praise You (Fatboy Slim cover) or Ren X Chinchilla Chalk Outlines
I'd have been shocked if Kujo beatdown was my first intro to Ren . Especially without context 😂
Fred Again Mashup. You're welcome
This comment !!! Yes Fred Again asap
Thanks for second chance❤!And there is sooo mutch more of singing Ren..Maybe you try Ren big push wade in the water..!Have fun ❤
He maybe a Swedish musician but i’d suggest not a very cognisant one.
"Wade in the water". Absolutely !
REN - how to be me
- big push - sweet little lady
- so many singing 🤩
For singing Ren you have to check out "The big Push" which is Ren´s street busking band with his friends
Respect for your view. Everything he does is different. He does a Bass solo in a band he was in The Big Push - Wade on the water / Nina Simone / Toubles so hard busking. One of his most loved songs is a duet with Chinchilla called Chalk Outlines but I think he sings best on Fred Again Mashup although his loose jazz/soul on Wade in the Water is up there.
Tjena! Glad you gave Ren another chance. He is very versatile and multitalented. While you may not like some of his stuff, there is bound to be plenty of music you will like. If you like Sting, he and his band, The Big Push, did a cover of "Englishman in NY". A more recent Ren song is the Fred Again mashup. That one is surely to give you chills as well.
also, the video of him and Sam Tompkins busking, doing No Diggity/Walking on the Moon (Danny, he cleaned up the audio, it's not your typical "2 guys busking on the streets) , for more Police.
Piano keyboard Ren. Mackay
His tribute to his friend Callum Mackay who passed at 22 yrs old from an accident
He has other tributes to his other best friend Joe Hughes who was 19 when he passed
Great reaction
Did you recognise "Kujo" on the bass? 😂
I’m not sure if you’re asking me because I have no clue what it looks like(until now apparently) 😁
@@dannytheswedishmusixian1513 The guy who played Kujo is Ren's mate Kai, who is on the Bass in this video
The song Chalk Outlines by Ren is worth a listen to hear Rens singing voice. Also a live video and must to listen to.
The live version of Chalk Outlines with Chinchilla is killer .
Welcome to the roller coaster, no two songs are the same 🎉
Ren and friends have many great vids covering all sorts of musical genres............Some covers , some retakes and many originals
solo and with many collabs............You will like his cover of Englishman in New York with the Big Push.
Nice to hear some honest opinions about a tune, there are so many that sort of love everything they hear ....
And then there's some that recognize a once in a generation talent when they see it.
Your transition from 'I'm not going to like it' to 'getting chills' was awesome to watch 😊
You should definitely follow the singing branch in the Ren rabbit hole. Fred Again mash up, Chalk Outlines, and anything with his band 'The Big Push' 😊
Thank you 😊 I was a bit shocked that happened 😁
And I think for the songs with Chinchilla you should check out the live versions!!
You gotta watch some of these Ren fans. They don't understand Ren at all. He is all about raising people up and allowing people to be themselves. And some of these guys think you're an idiot if you don't like a song. Apparently people are suppose to be robots and everyone likes exactly the same thing. I am a Ren fan but I am also a musician that understands not every song is for every one unless you are an obsessed stalker kinda fan.
He can do pretty much any rap flow he wants - some aren't what fans of certain styles like. Just for an example, check out The Hunger - it's short, just over 2 minutes, has many flow switches just to show his versatility in that genre. Aside from that, highly recommend his song with Chinchilla, Chalk Outlines (the live version), introduces some of his original singing rather than a cover, and another really spectacular vocalist as well - and his Fred Again Mashup (cover/mashup of 5 songs from UK DJ/EDM Artist/Producer Fred Again) that really shows his vocal chops and guitar skills. Another incredible recent release is a collaboration he did on the song Baggage by Chris Webby - listen for the high notes near the end, that's Ren, and it's pretty mind blowing how well he can sing in that range.
Thanks for trying again.
A few singing for you to try
the big push war pigs or I shot the sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop
Ren chalk outlines live or how to be me live.
If you like 90s rap as you said he did a retake of Halftime by Nas. Bit more of that boombap flow.
If you like 90s hip hop check out Rens "what you want," "halftime," and, funnily enough "1990s." 💜
Hey Brother. Renegade in the house. Thank you for giving Ren another go.
Fred again mashup
If you like Ren singing then you need to check out How to be me with Chincilla. As for Rap Ren covers it all. If you want 90's flows then Coast Contra are definitely bringing it back with bars in every line!
If you like 90’s rap you may enjoy Nas retake and What you want.
Great reaction, thank you Sir 🙏🐊❤️🦉👍
rite when you said it was beautifully produced sound i was thinking how awful it sounded 😄 Ren is winning. good for him
I did not see your reaction to Kujo Beat Down, but I definitely understand your point of view. I'm not much of a rap fan. Ren's rap has slowly grown on me on a song by song basis because I love his word play. I do however, find myself much more drawn to his singing and even his story telling. I agree with comments below that you would probably like his mash up of Fred Again songs or perhaps some of the songs he did with his band The Big Push such as the medieval folk song style called Swan Song. If you are open to bard type story telling I would suggest his trilogy - Jenny's Tale, Screech's Tale and Violet's Tale a commentary on generational abuse. Looking forward to hearing more of your reactions.
Others already commented on singing songs, but If you like 90s rap you might actually like his what you want rap song or his halftime retake. They're your kind of old school I think.
Thanks for your reaction to this true GENIUS.
It would help your understanding of his preformances if you get a flavour of who he actually is. Watch his thank you to 1m subscribers video
Liked & subscribed in anticipation of you reacting to more Ren
Cheers pal 👍🍻
You'll want to see "Swan Song" by The Big Push (Ren's band) for singing.
You’d probably enjoy his live street performance with his band ‘the big push’ of I shot the sheriff/road to Zion/hip hop (daytime version. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
ruclips.net/video/uSeCuR51rek/видео.htmlsi=WqUlrd-9t3sVYmnP
You will turn into a believer in no time. Especially on the 90s rap part. 🤯🤣
"The Hunger" is ridiculously good 90 's rap
If you like 90s rap, check out Ren - What You Want.
As far as singing…I would highly suggest some of “The Big Push”
Primarily “Wade in the Water/Nina Simone/Trouble so Hard
AWESOME!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
YES! 🔥
If you like this then check out his band called The Big Push for more singing Ren
If you want to hear Ren singing & doing Acoustic live check out “Murderer Live” … It’s one of his rap songs changed to a reggae style song… Also if like sting try his version of “English Man in New York” .. His band that he began with called the Big Push .. Try WarPigs & another is I Shot The Sheriff … you’ll love it 😀
To really appreciate the live version of Murderer, you need to have heard the original first, so I would suggest doing a double and listening to both versions. They are both crazy good in my opinion.
Definitely check out I shot the sheriff by the Big Push (Red Suspenders) Ren is in that band and they are awesome
this dude is full of surprise's i tell ya😁
I like reactors who stay true to themselves and have the confidence to stick to their guns. Good job!
He's an Artists Artist so your gonna like him, like it or not. There's something for everyone! ❤ from D in the UK 🇬🇧
You can’t get much farther apart than Kujo Beat Dwn to this one! Glad you gave Ren another chance. He Dora’s all kinds of music, something for nearly everyone. Lot of musical stuff coming up in future weeks.
Hey dude,I appreciate that you as an artist have very particular likes and dislikes re music styles! So having said I have shown Eskobar some love,and have listened to some of your material,in order to guide you towards certain Ren productions which now knowing your own sound would perhaps appeal to you more! Unfortunately Ren hasn't produced anything that I can compare to your own material.❤
Same!
Thanks mate!
REN and his band The Big Push have a plethora of incredible material
If you love 90s hip hop check out his Beastie Boys tribute ‘What you want’ or his Nas ‘Halftime retake’. For pure singing little better than ‘Chalk Outlines’ or ‘How to be me’
o_O First look at Ren 100% should NOT be the Kujo diss! That was purely to let out his frustrations regarding that situation- it only makes sense to fans familiar with that situation. And as one, I can confirm that it was top-tier as a focused piece of art displaying his frustrations. The fact that he composed, performed, mixed & mastered, & directed the video.... I think there was a message there that he will not be purchasing unlimited licenses from other producers in future! ;)
For yourself, you will absolutely enjoy his singing tracks way more than the HipHop side. I enjoy both, but also prefer his singing side. I bought last year's "Sick Boi" HipHop album, & there is some quality work on it. This year's album from him tho, is not HipHop, so you may enjoy the tracks he will begin releasing shortly. He loves that Tele you see him playing here, with John Frusciante probably being his biggest influence playing-wise. He also likes reggae, ska, the Police. Vocally, there isn't much he can't address. While we're waiting for those new tracks from him, I think you'd enjoy the busking vids of him with his band The Big Push. ;)
Glad you gave a second listen to Ren, you won't regret it. Enjoy your trip down the Rabbit Hole.
If you wanna see Ren's variety in the rap department (yes he has variety within that genre), check out The Hunger it's a fun flex where he shows off some his wide rap talent. There's even a bit that's similar to 90's style rap.
Chalk Outlines, though, is a good vocal song.
I am as well. 2 more coming soon. Fred Again Mash and the one with Chinchilla
Tales of Jenny and Screech, mix of rap and singing but absolutely worth a listen. If for nothing but the guitar.
Check out anything live that Ren does with his band "The Big Push" - those don't have as much rap - it's more reggae, R&B, soul, and even some metal. All the ones I have seen are mashups of other artist's songs, but they've all been incredible performances. You'll probably recognize some of the song titles.
Oh yes. Ren is a serial mash-uper and an incredible singer. (Well, incredible everything, to be honest.)
You should definitely check his other stuff. Busking with The Big Push (Wade in the Water; I Shot the Sheriff/Road to ZIon/Hip Hop), singing solo covers/retakes (Fred Again mash-up), his own stuff (Su!cide, a trilogy The Tale of Jenny and Screech /13min. video with all three parts in one/; Heretic, Diazepam, Ready for You...), duets (How To Be Me with Chinchilla, busking with Sam Tompkins - Earned It / Man's World / Falling...) There is so much to enjoy and appreciate. Ren is an absolute unicorn.
Thank you for giving him another chance. The Kujo Beat Down is an extreme out of anger and frustration, not a showcase of all his immense talents. 💙
BTW his rap stuff is worth your time too. Don't judge it just of KBD. (And for good old rapity-rap stuff - try What You Want! ;o))
I am envious. You don’t know what is ahead of you!
Chalk Outlines and How to Be Me - live with Chinchilla might appeal.
Also his band The Big Push are worth a listen, either busking or live on rooftops etc
Just watch “Hi REN”. That’s the MUST watch REN song.
Oh. Ren NEVER strikes Reactors so no filtering or such on his videos is needed. Any strike or hold on his music is a RUclips fumble. Just contest it or contact Ren's team they will whitlist you as soon as possible
Fun fact… The bass player is the one that played Kujo in Kujo Beat Down
You should have started with his "Hi Ren" song. That is where most of us were introduced to him. It will really make you think more about his knowledge and skills.
Everyone always come around eventually.....EVERYONE😊
Ren also does a nice rendition of English man in New York with his band "The Big Push".
If Kujo is your only Ren rap experience, you should give Power, Genesis, Murderer a try. Maybe Money game 1 as well.
Ren also loves the 90s rap :)
But he does have a lot of singing songs too. People said already you should check out the Fred Again mashup, That one is amazing, but is his take on someone else's music (he went to Fred's concert and was hit so hard that he had to show it). But if you want to hear him sing to his own music, please consider reacting to "How to be me" a collab song he did with another young artist from UK, Chinchilla. An amazing piece, and an amazing live performance
I agree you should give REN , The Big Push a listen , “ What Kind Of Women Is This “ The Swan Song “ Wade In The Water “ etc , he plays bass guitar , electric , acoustic , piano , and another instrument I’m not sure what it’s called in The Swan Song ! I think you would enjoy The Big Push !😊
Listen to his band, the big push
Yeah, Kujo Beat Down is an unfortunate 1st song. Doesn't paint the full pic.
Thanks for giving him a second try. You won't regret it!
Much love ❤️ Sue
If you like 90s rap, listen to his song What You Want, very much old school and hopefully your kind of taste. I like the reaction!
Har följt Ren i över ett år snart. Skulle nog inte ha gjort det om det hade varit Kujo Beatdown var det första jag hade lyssnat på ifrån honom. Du hamnar typ på kapitel 58 i boken med en gång då!😂 Hoppas du forttter att gräva i Rens "rabbithole" för det är verkligen värt det! ❤
Danny, thank you for reacting to this video. Ren is not the best singer but he is the best artist. You do not want to listen to Ren if you are looking for sparkling vocal skills and immaculate tone or anything of that nature. Reacting to Ren 'Kujo Beat Down' was probably not the optimal place to start with Ren. That was a specific angry-Ren reaction to someone who attempted to steal from him. Ren is quite theatrical too which can be a turn off for many reaction channels. My suggestion is to check out 'Fred Again Mash Up' by Ren, then some busking videos like 'War Pigs' and 'I Shot the Sherrif'. Remainder of his portfolio of videos is rap or rap like songs. 'Suicide' is a beautiful song but is half rap. 'Freckled Angels' is gorgeous. 'Jessica' is a very old song of Ren's with him singing and it is more a contemporary pop song.
Agree and disagree, yes he is an amazing artist, there are undoubtedly many singers who can deliver a note perfect performance, but only a small percentage can deliver a vocal performance that hits you viscerally and Ren does that every time.
Live he’s fantastic, I’ve only once hear him slightly fluff his lyrics and that was at the Sky Art Awards, which bearing in mind the amount of lyrics typically in his songs is pretty extraordinary. i
I completely disagree about Ren's singing! He's world-class! His tone, (or tones, he has many) is one of the best features of his voice! He can also sing in multiple voices and styles. He has power, range, a beautiful falsetto and immaculate control! He has an innate understanding of vocal light and shade. It's the delicate little vocal touches and nuances that really set him apart though! Always full of character and with every syllable dripping with genuine emotion, he's a class act! He's vocally way above 99.9% of the dull, unoriginal, characterless, over-produced dross, that passes as 'good' singing nowadays!
I'm not sure what you've been listening to or whether you just don't understand what good singing can consist of. Btw, Ren's catalogue is close to being 50/50 rap/singing, so I don't know what you're on about there? There's been more rap over the last couple of years because his last album was quite deliberately a hip-hop album. Though even during this period there's been plenty of singing too!
Danny, if I were you I's ignore the OP's comments. They obviously haven't got a clue what they're talking about, when it comes to both singing and Ren! Countless numbers of professional vocalists, vocal coaches and industry professionals have all praised Ren's vocals as exceptional! The OP just doesn't get it and is probably more impressed by the likes of Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift...
He had seen "Hi Ren" and "Bittersweet Symphony" first but didn't record/upload it. He was not a fan of it 😥 I think not everyone "gets" Ren's art. That's just it.
@@supertuscans9512 I bet no one in the audience noticed and in a serendipitous way it kind of worked, time...pause sell time....
You should see the Beastie Boys tribute he did :) He sings in Chalk Outlines, How to be me, a lot of his stuff with his band The Big Push, and he harmonises fantastically with Chris Webby in Baggage (feat. Ren).
For more singing Ren check out his band The Big Push - Englishman in New York it's brilliant!!
Check out “what you want”. Ren loves the 90’s. It’s a Beastie Boys tribute
It takes a big person to admit you're wrong, so props to you. 😊
If you liked this one, I think you will really like the I Shot The Sheriff Medly of songs he did with his band The Big Push. It was during a busking session in Brighton (here in the UK).
Here's the link to help you find the best version.
ruclips.net/video/uSeCuR51rek/видео.htmlsi=BsehIdEX0ozm7Wjy
Rens band the big push does alot of singing. They went separate ways but may get back together at some point in the future. They did alot of busking
You wont please everyone...and if you were to please everyone, then you'd be very vanilla, and nobody wants to be vanilla -Ren
You NEED to watch Ren "What You Want" if you like 90's hip hop!
I absolutely love and adore and like Ren because he’s so talented and brilliant but also found Kiko Beat down heavy to watch but because I followed all the story as well and I understand he created it to be able to let go of his thoughts on what they did to him, but it was too “heavy”.. so for a starter on what HE REALLY IS… check whatever else, and of course you have to like his singing because he’s so frigging good, and he’s not showing enough here. Check The Big PuSh Nina Simone cover for instance or with Chinchilla. You’re going to be surprised by his singing voice, coming straight from his soul❤
You really need to listen to Hi Ren before everything IMHO. You listen to that and you understand where he's coming from and then you go down the hole listening to tons of different types of music from him.
Ren will be over the moon you like him!
Or try Big Push ‘Englishman in New York’ cover. Really good singing by Ren.
For singing with his band The Big Push - Wade in the Water, I Shot the Sheriff/Road To Zion/ Hip Hop. Collabs - How to be Me & Chalk Outlines With Chincilla. 90s Hip Hop - Halftime (Naz Retake), What You Want. For Bardcore - the Trilogy The Tale ot Jenny & Screech (13 minute version)
Fred Again mashup and Wade in the Water with The Big Push. Earned it/Man’s world with Sam Tompkins. Ren is a genius. Subbed
❤❤
Then you should give Chalk Outlines a go 😊 also How to be me
Live versions please!
New sub here. Along for the ride for your ren discovery. Multi faceted and unbelievably talented artist. Start with Hi Ren. Then Sick Boi. The big push red suspenders video.
Or his original band Trick the Fox... Runaway
Check out his Fred Again Retake. Beautiful intimate performance.
What You Want is 90's rap- tribute to the Beastie Boys. For singing, both of the songs he does with Chinchilla
Kujo Beat Down needs to be taken knowing the context of its creation.
his collabs with Chinchilla, ChalkOutlines &How to be me and Sweet Lady of The Big Push
Since you like his musical work better, you might like some of the tracks by his former band, the Big Push. Check out some of their live work, too. I love ‘Wade in the Water’.
Dude if you want to see this dude rippin' it live with his guitar as well as his vocals, watch him perform with his band The big push. I shot the sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip hop. You'll be blown away for sure
Also for singing. Definitely check out his old band the big push (especially the I shot the sheriff/road to zion/hip hop) and how to be me (live version) and chalk outlines. Oh and Fred Again mashup
You need to watch Fred mash up my Ren. If you enjoy his singing, also the big push I Shot sheriff , road to zion, hip hop. Live in Brighton wearing red braces in thumb nail.
Try the NAS retake if you want to hear his homage to that.
The cujo track only makes sense in context after understnad who he is. Not typical of him, you will come to understand as you watch more
If you want to see Ren's soul, watch For Joe live version
I hope you have a much better idea of Ren. Fred again is one of my favorites and also Wade in the Water!!! But he is an amazing musician, lyrical genius. producer but most of all humanitarian ❤
Chalk outlines live you should check out.
If you like 90s rap, check out REN’s The Hunger and What You Want (Beastie Boys Homage)
