This has always been one of my favourites. Not many people know that oil giant Shell actually sold shells back in the 1800s by gathering up exotic shells and hoarding them to push up the prices, Ren's lyrics here are factual. Then DeBeers did the same with diamonds. The old money game.
Wow, and that's why they wanna shut him down. Because he speaks absolute truth. Most of us feel the way he feels, know whats going on. Stopping it is the hard part
I was as uneducated about the origins of Shell Oil as well, and considering I'm nearing 60, have heard of the Rothschild family and their being so great in whose purse strings held the most money, yet never hearing that they worked hand in hand with the sons of the Shell seller in England, which gave them the chance to become the giant oil company "Shell" we have all heard of. I've done a lot of reading about the company and origins, in the past 2 days, The story was told to a coworker who is Dutch, from and schooled in the Netherlands, he said he learned this sea shell sales to becoming Shell Oil connection, and the companies growth and their becoming bigger than the monopoly they broke that was held by Standard Oil in high school, it was a common lesson plan story, I guess you could say the Shell Oil story was also "Standard" curriculum. (No pun intended, but still funny. )
It's true. The Shell Transport and Trading Company sold exotic shells with a side trade in petroleum products before merging with Royal Dutch Petroleum to form Royal Dutch Shell aka Shell aka Hell.
That's the first time I've heard Part 2. Absolutely blown away. The maturity of thought, the clarity, the genius and he was 21 when he dropped that. Man. Bob Dylan much?
Quit it I’m not old!!!! 79 ‘ 😂 I can’t fathom not being alive before Nirvana popped off. The whole Decade was insane and a perfect Soundtrack to my Teens.
Shell Oil.... It began with a man who was elaborately decorating shells and made much of his money that way. He passed away and his children who inheritated, branched out. Yep, in oil! Branching out in various directions. Welcome to the money game.
I'm sorry to the fans that have followed Ren for years and I have only become a fan recently with Hi Ren, I would of been a fan if someone had of told me about him earlier but well, here I am now as a fan for life . It's awesome to be able to watch him rise up to legendary status where he rightfully belongs.
@@sharoncarroll7998 Thankyou. Nice to be in the flock of Ren's merry Wrens.😊. I want him to get absolutely well and keep on creating masterpieces throughout the rest of our life times.
No need for apologies. We're here now rooting for this amazing artist. He is demonstrating that it is possible to be heard as an INDEPENDENT artist. #powertothepeople
@@TeresaFlowery YES! MAY INDEPENDENT ARTISTS TOPPLE THE INDUSTRY.!!! Too many great talents signing contracts only to find the contract's a cage that restricts their creativity
One of the greatest maestros of all time, Frank Zappa used a repetitious continuum in his music which he referred to as 'conceptual continuity', I see the same here with Ren's music. Genius is understated!
I LOVE how he printed the text. Ppl thought in last one that he was saying "this whole money game" when he has been talking about this "old" money game. Talking about your Brittain came from "old money" vs. America coming from "new money" so we can make our own rules and the like.
Every song he does and every video he make gives the impression of an established artist and I have to keep reminding myself that he's an unsigned independent artist. He is so refreshing and he's beginning to shake the system. We need more like him so we can democratise music take it back from the greedy slaughter pigs!
..... she sell sea shells... 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Much love and mad respect ❤️❤️ #REN #CLIFFBEATS #AOD Tongue twister used to assist with speech longer then most of us have been alive ... used by Ren beautifully as he teaches life lessons in humility
Share Ren on all your platforms, everywhere, lets get Ren out there. The younger generations need to hear him. Everyone needs some Ren in their life. Lets create an unstoppable wildfire 🔥
No filler in his entire catalog! None!! Every track has been 🔥 or 💎 or masterpiece! No one is even near his talent overall, across the board. Ren is just different!!
This is intelligent music. I love how Ren threads themes through his music. Waves, seashells, she sells sea shells. He lives in Brighton on the south coast of England and my guess is he does a lot of thinking on the coast looking out to sea.
Cliff, you clearly got mad respect behind you from the reactor community. Good luck on righting the system so we can expose these real independent talents with something worth hearing. You don’t realize you’re drowning in white noise until something beautiful breaks through.
Freckled Angels is a really good one it's one of his earlier videos and you actually really should check out (even if it's on your own time) the 360 version of the Jenny and Screech tail he's performing live on stage and of course it's a 360 you can span around and see
I CANT BELIEVE THE GUY HAS THIS MANY STRAIGHT FIRE BANGERS!!!!! The beats are always great, the videos are amazing and then the lyrics are just KILLER!!! This one in particular was so fucking smart and even more so for how he set a slower pace and put all the lyrics on screen to make sure anyone could follow this song. Me and my mom both love his music and I immediately sent her this one (she's big on fighting consumerism) and I was like "Mom he made a rap for old people, you'll be able to read the lyrics on screen"- she LOVED it. That last line just levels you, like yup, that's exactly what they are doing. Also, do you think there's a real correlation between what you guys are putting out and the shit YT has been pulling? Because if Rens videos being shared makes them pull some shit, that's a big matter.........
When I saw this one the number to part it reminded me of what Tom did with brainwashed it's very similar enlisting all the different ways they screw us. It's genius I think the only reason he isn't bigger is he is from Britain so the underground scene in America doesn't really see Ren. What I think is really freaking awesome is that Ren is from Brighton so you know people already know him he busked and has videos of him busking there so you know in Brighton he's now a local legend 🤣🤣
This is the song that introduced me to Ren. So much truth in this song (and part 1 as well). I am lovin’ Ren. I’ll keep saying it. Such a phenomenal artist. Hope your doing ok Cliff. Thanks for doing what you do. ❤ your channel. Have a great weekend. ✌🏻❤️😊
You're the reason I even found Ren. If it wasn't for stumbling on your Tale of jenny n screech react by accident when YT auto played in to it. I never would of found the artist i needed and songs i needed to hear, right when I needed to here em.
I am so glad you got back and I am getting to watch your journey into Rens catalog..much love, I enjoy your reactions so much that when I love something as much as I do rens music I want to see your react to it.
I believe Ren is a once in a life time artist!!! My god!! He's more than an artist!! He's more than a singer and musician! He's more than a poet and philosopher!!! Ren is so much more than amazing, and incredible!! Ren is a human who should be heard!! I love your mind Ren!!
I love Ren's music, like so many commenters here, and you do as well. I think, given how many say how they feel about this song and the previous one, I'll say, I appreciate your passion in your reaction and for his music. It's evident. Keep being you.
Loving your reactions to Ren, been following him for a few months thanks to a friend who sent me Jenny and Screech's tale and sent me down the rabbit hole. He has such a way with words, he's so clever and talented and i love how he speaks up about mental health issues but also politics and everything's that's wrong in the world. He's such a freaking genius. And thank you for supporting Ren so much!
The Money Game part 2 for me is his best musically pleasing sounding song that Ive heard. Although Chalk Outlines gives this a run for its money .....if this was a game! (see what i did there?) lol sorry bout that lol Cliff man I rootin for you bro! I really hope you come out the other side of all this RUclips baffoonary and find the success you and your channel so greatly deserve to have! I love your approach and selflessness way of going about this with uplifting the artists you react too! They all say they do it but you come off genuine and I believe you mean it! Youre a good dude I can tell! Im here for ya bro!
I have watched your reactions several times I can't believe it took me this long to subscribe 🤦 ( definitely an oversight) LOVE how genuine you come across ❤️
Can you do a reaction video to his live performance of this from the Sky Arts awards!! Singing this song to that group of people was so amazing. 🎤 drop
Dude that was epic but please, please I just watched, crucify your culture, oh my god, everything he writes gets better, new or old, he is a lyrical genius. He tells stories better than anyone who I've ever listened to. He's Ed sheeran on speed, he's pinky blinders on catnip, and it's beyond special, your sucked in like the Matrix ora Shawshank Redemption moment, everything pulls you in, thank you brother, much love from the UK 🤘🤘❤️🤘🤘
We love you Cliff. You speak the truth too!!! Nobody will do Ren's Crucifi Your Culture" You do it. It's TRUTH TRUTH TRUTH and TRUTH. We need Ethical humans in governmen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would post something here but dont know if you would mind my doing so..
Cliff is trying so hard to stay in this algorithm haha love the video dude! Keep it up man, and if it makes you feel better I found you in the algorithm!
My comment for this video was going to be, lets recognise the visionary videography as well as the musical genius. Good to see you have picked up on it Cliff. By the way, Ren always publishes his lyrics in the pinned comment of his videos. Can we get a shout out to Tom and Nova for Ren ???
Ren reflects how people feel in today's world. The pyramid of power has been turned upside down by the digital age and people power is growing. Now we have the information. Every time Money Game Part II is shared, it makes us even more aware. x
Have you noticed the font is the old teletext type from the 80s? The Thatcher and Reagan era. The greed is good era. I thought that was a really nice touch
The real truth about economics will never be taught in schools. People like Ren are so important, especially when today's youth are mostly disconnected.
Another great reaction buddy. How about Ren - Life is funny Not sure if anyone has requested this older Ren video but it is great. The video is in a visually similar format to this one. Since jumping down this rabbit hole I've been watching Ren's YT videos from the first one he released 11 yrs ago up to now. That is a whole new journey.

oh really? I didn't know that about Shell. Ahhh so that's why they called themselves that. Thank you.

I believe he was born in 1990 and this came out in 2020 so he would have been 30. But yeah, mind-blowing stuff once again from Ren :)
@@hmo_mackey I thought he was like 25 now. Mind you, in my head 1990 is only 23 years ago anyway.
@@jonblackburn7634 In mine too! 😅
Quit it I’m not old!!!! 79 ‘ 😂 I can’t fathom not being alive before Nirvana popped off. The whole Decade was insane and a perfect Soundtrack to my Teens.
@hmo_mackey he was born in 1994 man, he references it on his song 1990s
Shell Oil.... It began with a man who was elaborately decorating shells and made much of his money that way. He passed away and his children who inheritated, branched out. Yep, in oil! Branching out in various directions. Welcome to the money game.
Yup. This came out before Hi Ren so when She Sells Sea Shells came up in Hi Ren it was a reference to this song of Ren's.
YES.....QUESTION EVERYTHING!!!!!
This track is 🔥 🔥 🔥
I love me some REN he is great he is a genius ✨🎶💙✌🏽music is life ! 🥰
I'm sorry to the fans that have followed Ren for years and I have only become a fan recently with Hi Ren, I would of been a fan if someone had of told me about him earlier but well, here I am now as a fan for life

Love the references to Charlie Chaplin speech in the video here. Dam there's just no words when someone can hit from all angles this cleanly.
These two songs are brilliant and Ren is a master storyteller. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
THIS IS A PURE HIT SONG!
He’s a genius. Period.
Ren - hold on. Needs to be on your list!
Every song he does and every video he make gives the impression of an established artist and I have to keep reminding myself that he's an unsigned independent artist.

Much love and mad respect ❤️❤️ #REN #CLIFFBEATS #AOD

And as soon as you hear this song now hi ren seashells part hits even harder
No filler in his entire catalog! None!! Every track has been 🔥 or 💎 or masterpiece! No one is even near his talent overall, across the board. Ren is just different!!
Facts, anyone that says there is isn't listening
One of my favorites!
The voice of truth of a generation.
the voice of truth of every generation 😉
This is intelligent music. I love how Ren threads themes through his music. Waves, seashells, she sells sea shells. He lives in Brighton on the south coast of England and my guess is he does a lot of thinking on the coast looking out to sea.
I've suggested many times that we in the UK should just pick 500 random people to be politicians for four years. Couldn't be any worse
US should do the same... (like how Isreal makes all do 2yrs of military service) to divorce ourselve$ from Thee Ol'Money Game. (Ironic... eye no)
I think you're onto something
Bro every track blows
Me Away so much I get emotional. I honestly haven’t felt this strongly about an artist since Eminem. Ren is the one. I am ren.
Ren is exceptional
Cliff, you clearly got mad respect behind you from the reactor community. Good luck on righting the system so we can expose these real independent talents with something worth hearing. You don’t realize you’re drowning in white noise until something beautiful breaks through.
Great comment. Loving the last line!
The first time seeing this he is so insightful. So talented.
One of my favorite tracks by this genius.
Would not have found him without reactors like you. Thank you.
Great reation! He speaks nothing but true facts, we are all part of this old money game... Brilliant, Ren, as always!
The sea shells break down was shockingly accurate, I'm gobsmacked
Followed Ren for years, so glad to see him getting the love he deserves
I cannot stop listening to Ren............he is really the musical spirit of our age
When I was watching his content yesterday I was like damn, this was out years ago! Glad I found him through your channel. Cheers.
Freckled Angels is a really good one it's one of his earlier videos and you actually really should check out (even if it's on your own time) the 360 version of the Jenny and Screech tail he's performing live on stage and of course it's a 360 you can span around and see
This song became well known through a meme of Mario and Luigi. It’s super clever, but we come to expect nothing less of Ren.
Amazing Song!… Ren Rabbit Hole!🔥
Never a truer word spoken xx
I needed this one. Love both Money Games, speaking that truth 💯 and does it so very well!
This song is so damn good. His 10 steps are so well written.
I CANT BELIEVE THE GUY HAS THIS MANY STRAIGHT FIRE BANGERS!!!!! The beats are always great, the videos are amazing and then the lyrics are just KILLER!!!

Ren flexing not only his musical talent but how clever he is. He is a genius and we need him.
Glad you went back and found this. Exceptional song. Kept fighting that damn algorithm Cliff Beats.

I'm so happy you're doing this reactions to Ren's music. Like, really fucking thank you.
Ren is a star. Great reaction cliff
Thank you love that was amazing ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for doing this one > Ren is a beast and I enjoy your reactions everytime.

Ren is the new lyricist! Can’t get enough! Great job cliff!
Keep the faith, we are all with you, Ren and other artist like this.
TRUTH!!!
Amazing reaction. I CAN NOT WAIT till you react to Losing it! By Ren. BARS for days.
This is the song that introduced me to Ren. So much truth in this song (and part 1 as well). I am lovin’ Ren. I’ll keep saying it. Such a phenomenal artist.
Hope your doing ok Cliff. Thanks for doing what you do. ❤ your channel. Have a great weekend. ✌🏻❤️😊

Ren is so much more than amazing, and incredible!!
Ren is a human who should be heard!!
I love your mind Ren!!
We will keep fighting. Thanks for helping.
Amazing again. Perfect ending to part 1.
He's just what was needed. A new kid on the block. He's gonna take top spot 💯🔥🔥🔥 This is art as a form of communication at it's best.

I'm loving your Ren reactions! Can you look into reacting to 'Losing It' next? I think you'll be even more impressed after that one!
I've found Ren on Spotify by using a random playlist and im so happy i did because going through his songs is such a rollercoaster its unbelivable
Fight on Cliff, with your music, your reactions and your candour. Respect.
Please listen to Rens Losing It. I can't keep up with him. He is mindblowing.
We love you Cliff. You speak the truth too!!! Nobody will do Ren's Crucifi Your Culture" You do it. It's TRUTH TRUTH TRUTH and TRUTH. We need Ethical humans in governmen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would post something here but dont know if you would mind my doing so..
I'm sorry the algos are causing you problems on here. You were the first reactor I saw reacting to Ren before he blew up.
My favorite part is how he uses the "she sells seashells" in Hi Ren as an insult, but the way he actually used it here is FIRE AF!!!
Cliff is trying so hard to stay in this algorithm haha love the video dude! Keep it up man, and if it makes you feel better I found you in the algorithm!
This song. Next to Life is Good are my absolute FAVORITES!!
My comment for this video was going to be, lets recognise the visionary videography as well as the musical genius. Good to see you have picked up on it Cliff. By the way, Ren always publishes his lyrics in the pinned comment of his videos. Can we get a shout out to Tom and Nova for Ren ???
Love your videos Cliff, keep fighting the good fight my man.
Ren is what you would call a VISIONARY
Love you and love Ren... 😁💝
I'll say it again... he's On His OWN LEVEL!!! No One Compares to him!!!
No One!!!
Ren reflects how people feel in today's world. The pyramid of power has been turned upside down by the digital age and people power is growing. Now we have the information. Every time Money Game Part II is shared, it makes us even more aware. x
Have you noticed the font is the old teletext type from the 80s? The Thatcher and Reagan era. The greed is good era. I thought that was a really nice touch
I've been waiting for this one 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I studied economics for a semester but Ren taught me more than UNI could 🤯
TRUTH!
This is so true
The real truth about economics will never be taught in schools. People like Ren are so important, especially when today's youth are mostly disconnected.
I love this song! Another genius video.
Another great reaction buddy.
How about Ren - Life is funny
Not sure if anyone has requested this older Ren video but it is great. The video is in a visually similar format to this one.
Since jumping down this rabbit hole I've been watching Ren's YT videos from the first one he released 11 yrs ago up to now. That is a whole new journey. Experiencing the beginnings/development of ideas/themes etc and then see them develop further into studio or live versions or, ultimately, into entirely different songs.
FYI, Ren's first YT upload was Street Lights - Live at The Regal Room from 11 years ago. You can tell from this he had storytelling in his bones that was only going to develop further.
Not suggesting you react to it but give it a listen for your own pleasure.
Nope, there is older than that. 13 years I think. Look for Renlovesmusic, rather than RenmakesMusic.
Ren is important. We need to listen. ❤
