smarturl.it/MoneyGame
Strange time we’re living in
World can put fear in ya,
Hierarchy parties they make us feel inferior
Greed runs through the parliament interior
Devils walk among us, they fit the criteria
Eerie theories strike fear in weary minded men ‘cause we’re clearly
Living in dictatorships? Nearly
Blinded by illusions to choose,
But who’s fooling who?
A ball chained to your shoes I’m pained
It’s a crying shame
The pursuit of our own wealth lights a flame
That makes greed a game that lets the whole world burn
As the world turns, the whole world burns
Money was invented for trade
But now those bits of paper twist hearts, make slaves
Turns a saint to a sinner
A child to a killer
His finger on the trigger of a money game
Rain, rain, rain, rain
A storm it comes our way
And those who rise through distorted lies
Poison in the veins
But we like to point the blame, blame, blame, blame
It’s easier to blame
But point the mirror at ourselves
We’re all part of this old money game
This old money game
This old…
Dear Mr. President, its evident, that everyones a resident
Of fear when they support the ideas that keep us separate
When the make us believe that everybody is coming to terrorise you in the streets
they say proudly through gritted teeth
“Its my right to hate, thats freedom of speech”
When did freedom become a reason to hate?
A way to justify a racial slur or insult we make
There’s an irony in freedom, ‘cause us in the west
we have pillaged and plundered and murdered like savages
colonised all of the rest, thats called hypocrisy
Preach a certain value that you’d never keep yourselves
If your country was in flames, you’d emigrate yourselves in a second
Yet still you spit your venom
Demonising immigrants, when really your an immigrant
‘Cause all of us are immigrants, or descended from immigrants
The irony is imminent, I’ll shed the light on immigrants
America was colonised by Britain,
Britain it was colonised by Rome
Also colonised by the Saxons,
They were German by the way
You know how people throw shade upon the Germans ‘cause of histories pain
and yet we make the same mistakes all again
Demonise a whole people Jewish or Muslim the same and the same
Old situation plays on repeat, the same old TV shows repeat,
Yeah we worship the bleak,
Our opinions aren’t our own and we follow like sheep
Theres no left, Theres no right, in the middle we sleep
Rain, rain, rain, rain
A storm it comes our way
And those who rise through distorted lies
Poison in the veins
But we like to point the blame, blame, blame, blame
It’s easier to blame
But point the mirror at ourselves
We’re all part of this old money game
This old money game
This old money game
masterpiece ! Always will support artist such as yourself !
Thanks a lot 👌
When's a new album out?
It's cop's tale ? I'm confused
Wow, that’s... i'm speechless🙌🏻🙏🏻
why is no one talking its a one-shot video wtf that's a fookin masterpiece
It could be award winning no doubt !
Cameraman , whomever choreographer is... Absolute studs
If this was shot on the fly, .... Fucking genius
Bc it’s about something real that targets the rich
2* i sense a cut at the beginning after hes rolling up the rope
Did not catch the 1-shot video. Wow. Great video either way!
@@griffithbarton3666 theres no cuts, we didnt take as many takes as we did to have a cut in there...
Okay . . . the camera man shooting one fluid shot, Ren not missing a beat, and the guitar guy playing with a bag over his head. So much talent in one video.
The guitar guy is Ren's very talented flat share mate Romain Axisa from his band The Big Push.
@@ECCENTRICERIC69 I'll have to tell my sister she guessed right, lol.
I guess but you don't really need to see what you're doing on an instrument when you've practiced the music enough, muscle memory kicks in at that point.
I don't think it matters much, but I think there are holes in the eyes that were drawn on the bag?
needed 186 takes 😮
dang the guitar guy was in This Is America and now he's here, hope he's doing well
He got eyes now at least.
@@yazidefirenze he's also in that one song he him and his friends are burned to death by a match.
@@youraveragecommentator491 sh*t
He was shot in America...
Dude's going places
We should ALL be listening to this now.
Facts
Everyone saying Luigi bought them here, i have yet to meet this Luigi but i can already tell his tastes are good
luigi mario. pretty famous guy, has his own clothing line. has his face plastered on hats and shirts and who knows what else
@@NeedyBoBeedy lol
@@NeedyBoBeedy as a communist it must really hurt that his face has been cheapened, weakened, besmirch, and been plastered on posters and coasters and shirts making capitalists rich off of him on merch
@@MattBnl2ih who’s a communist here
@@NeedyBoBeedy he’s not actually a communist but this song is seems to critique capalism somewhat and I haven’t gotten to make an erb reference for an entire day
My mum, an english teacher wants to use your lyrics to study in lessons, you’re actually unreal
Ah amazing! tell her to go for it
I think that's brilliant! She's showing writing truly as it is and should be- creative expression. Not this idea that it has to be this or that or follow these guidelines. As a "writer" I think it's brill that she is doing this!!

Excellent work all around!
These are honestly some of the highest quality camera shots and choreographic stagings I've ever seen in a music video. It is really like its an abstract dance and it is so beautiful. FUCK
AND ITS MADE EVEN MORE IMPRESSIVE BY THE FACT THAT THIS WAS ONE SHOT LIKE HOLY SHIT
@@fleaboy5555 THIS WAS ONE SHOT???
@@Jairoalvarz yeah you can't really spot any cuts
@@Jairoalvarz the director of photography confirmed that it’s only one shot
@@cyan4239 Directed by Rikki Tarascas
Your promotion with screech and then money game is some of the most unique marketing I've seen and then the cinematography of the videos along with the unique sound in the videos is so so sickkkkkkk
FACTS.
It’s August 2024 and just discovered this lyrical, poetic genius, yet subliminal message. These lyrics could not be any more fitting to the events that have happened over the past couple of days here in the UK.
so true 100%
This is 2024 global theme song
I couldn’t have said it better myself the talent on this guy and his crew are by far the best lyrics and the truth about what is going down in the uk at this point in time amazing work
Coming here after the U.S. election also hits hard....more people need to shut up and listen to this man.
This masterpiece deserves a Grammy.
Thank you so much Sarah!!
Very true... has to be an award for the music .... and video. Touches the soul
@@terencemcalinden5956 In a way nothing else can
Okay but why is everyone so cool about the Ren himself replying to your comments
@@Ingydar_ I didn't even see until TH-cam just showed me your reply to my comment. omg this makes my day
I just learned about Ren`s existence about a week ago by now, and i`m already a fan, who can`t stop playing this song in my guitar... my neighbors are getting tired of listening to me playing it, same to Jenny and Screech`s tales... apparently they don`t like good music.
I like how you put all the apostrophes in the wrong direction (don't instead of don`t)
@@BeeBeau YOU HAD AN OPPORTUNITY AND YOU WASTED IT
(don(`)t use this you should(')ve been using this
Go You.
Sometimes we just need our neighbours to hear good music.
If youtube has ever done something decent in the past 15 years, that was putting Ren on my feed. You are really a great artist man, it's unbelievable.
Its been a year
@@dorian4191 and I still listen to this song.. as well as How To Be Me
Username checks out
I don’t know what the fuck is going on anymore. I’ve been down a 4 hour Renbbit hole and I’m mentally exhausted. I don’t think an artist has gave my mind a workout like this before. Ren, you are something else man. You caught me off guard, but I let it happen and embraced it and you broke me down.
More please.
You single? You sound like my twin
the story telling is great, as always. and the fact that everything is recorded in one shot and live.... brutal
1 year
1 yeeeeeeeeeeear
honestly I feel really bad for the guy that's playing the guitar, who looks like he always shakes whenever Ren walks by him, along with just generally acting scared out of his mind, always. good job, actor.
...
...
Are you sure it was acting...?
@@gamertwo6263 I'm gonna hope it was
Plot twist:he wasn't acting
@Taggynn lmao
(He)’s not acting, (l)ook at the (p)erson
part 1- what the money game does to the poor
part 2- what the money game does to us all
part 3 - what the money game does to the rich
But all with the same ending
@@AhzamZam11 yea it kills us... all ultimately thats the point...
I hope this guy gets the recognition he deserves
thanks bacon!!! I've got a brand new tune out would mean alot to me if you checked it out and if you like it give it a share ❤️ th-cam.com/video/s_nc1IVoMxc/w-d-xo.html
I think tiktoks helping him be noticed more
@@josierobson1327 First time I heard Ren was because of 9gag, 😄, this is just a master piece

I always hope someone posts the lyrics because I have horrible hearing but I really want to watch the video 😩 thanksss
How in the universe did I just discover Ren? He’s a literal new genre in the music game, he’s upped the ante for all artists with his performances. The guy is walking down the the road killing the guitar, while either rapping, singing, whatever. He’s something completely different and whatever he is it’s different in the absolute BEST way! I have listened to everything he’s done, with other people too and he just doesn’t miss. The best thing to happen to me this year is finding out about Ren!
Me too
Agreed. Only shit thing is the more popular he gets the more adverts I have to watch 😅
OMG same here!! Just today!
@@Echo-o-o dudes amazing…
Absolutely agree
Is this music? Or poetry, or literature, or journalism, or theatre, or art, or happening, or politics, or all of the above?
Yes
It's art that encompasses it all
Pretty sure it's a game of Squash
Its a little too edgy is what it is
@@selectjed1 But of course, we don't want anything serious, do we?
Entertainment, entertainment, entertainment.
NZ secondary School teacher using Money Game to teach poetry. Immersion school and my students totally 'get' his lyrics. 20 years of Tupac done now the Ren era has begun!
the first dog to pee on mars would temporarily be the dog lord of a whole planet
Ah, an intellectual
Love how Ren hearted this
Gotta love reddit.
When you're born you're the youngest human on earth for a little while (not biologically)
And he Will don't know it
I am Russian. I didn't understand anything, but it was cool
Haha amazing!
George you're goddamn right
😂
I am Brazilian and i agree with you! Hahah
Я американец, и да, я согласен. Это было потрясающе
Can't wait for you all to see it. Massive shout out to the genius that's ren!
Just overflowing with talent... Everything this guy touches is so creative and just blows me away.
Esp after his last release, Money Ties, I've just run out of the highest forms of praise for Ren"s work...
I will say the guitarist did a freaking amazing job of seeming horrified and scared the whole time.
Plot twist: that was actually some random guy who played guitar that they kidnapped on the street, his reactions are real
@@salad5067 uh oh
I’d bet money that’s Romain
Romain held hostage
Plot twist: Horrified is a type of scared
literally one of the best artists in a long time. Brilliant work
Thankyou!!
Wow. This guys a quadruple threat. He can sing,play guitar, rap and write lyrics. And what lyrics they are!
Dude is totally different and he is EPIC!!!
You forgot the theatrics. He understands the visual impact as well.
Find "Train Station Piano Creation" by Ren. He plays classical piano too, of course.
Plus one, pentagonal threat. I think his rap and writing are worth two skills.
He is amazing with his skill at singing, rapping, guitar or writing if he only could do one. The combination of all of the above combine is like nothing I have seem before
Don't forget actor and cinematographer!
yes actor too
The amount of talent in these videos is awe-inspiring! The lyrics, the acting, the cameraman... amazing 👏🏻
Ren needs to be recognised by the world for his talents ❤
What if Ren is actually just making one big story and now he is just introducing us to the different characters from the story?
Dovydas Juozūnas a quite Paul Auster type of theory and one I like ❤️🎶
omg i HOPE its going to be like a big concept album or something
This character is Patrick and that's why he wasn't home in screech's tale! haha
@@ianhudson9461 Nah Patrick was at Screech's Girlfriend's.
I wonder what the context for money game 2 is. Throughout the video we see clips from mg1 as well as pictures of the person in the bag post-marker.
Holy shit, I just discovered this through the Luigi meme. THANK YOU LUIGI MEME!
same LMAO
I don't find the minute when he start to sing about sea shells
@@matesdemedia8910 it’s in part two of the song
Same
@@matesdemedia8910 it's part 2
Imagine people discovering your music not because of its message but because of a Mario character explaining capitalism
At least it attracted a lot
the voice fits luigi so much at some parts
Honestly I'm glad I saw that fucking meme with the two luigis lol.
Hey, at least it still somewhat send the message
Kind of ironic when you think about it.
Hi Ren, I have been listening to your music for years now and your art has truly touched my heart and comforted me at my worst and my best. I am really excited to use Money Game to analyse for my HSC English course. Thankyou for making people think while they enjoy your incredible talent and artistry ❤
I found your work through Luigi singing another Luigi one of your songs. Memes are wild, just like your song/poetry/musical.
Edit: please stop commenting.
Please.
Edit2: Is this what suffering from success feels like?
same
Dang we're congregating already
^absolutely
Me too comrade! Excellent music. Glad that meme got posted.
Luigi brings us together
Ren you absolute genius, everything about this is perfect. Everything you've done is absolutely incredible.
Thank you very much!! means a lot to me🙏
@@RenMakesMusic Big up to everyone involved in this music video too. What amazing cinematography. Looking forward to hearing/seeing more from you! :D
I love how the only instrument is a guitar, but it feels like there's so much more
This is what I've been saying. You're hanging on his every word and it just doesn't matter that there's nothing else. This is all it needs. It's really special.
Wait it's only the guitar??
He’s good at that
You’ve forgotten about the percussion section…ye olde aluminum baseball bat.
@@Zephward Yeah, really clever how he hits the beat with the baseball bat on the floor at one stage (1:53). The attention to detail in Ren's work is staggering. [Edit to add timestamp]
I just discovered your videos and I get to discover a masterpiece like this. Everyone of your song is a different story and a whole universe itself. I feel like 5 years after it came out I get here and join all of the people that were hit by the power of your songs.The song is incredible but the video makes it even better. I dont know why but it feels like really high quality video but at the same time you get like, raw feelings with watching it.
I like that you've continued with the single video camera running one continuous shot, and recorded a "live" performance--no cuts or edits, no overdubbing or mixing. Now I gotta watch it again.
I guess technically the audio is "mixed", but you know what I mean.
Your voice is like heaven to my ears.
When he changes tone at 3:10 I got shivers
Why has Luigi brought an entire wave of people to Ren’s music, and why has it taken this long.
The death of Mario made Luigi more popular and that resulted in the Luigi meme getting a spike of popularity. People found the source of the music thanks to our god, Luigi.
@@kirbystar1 All hail Luigi, our one true king
@@chewingonrocksisfun3902 luigi is a king, god, yet also, our brother

Nah, I think I’m just going to be obsessed with Ren & everything he does forever. It’s already been 3+ years of listening to him. I don’t think I’ll ever be tired of his art. The one artist I feel like I can actually connect with. He’s so freaking talented 😭😍🥰
the legend says if ur early ren will give u a heart
Ooof
I love how the guy on guitar gets more frantic with his playing as his kidnapper gets closer, and also takes a second to start playing when the singing starts again to make sure he should be playing, it really sells the idea that he's been kidnapped and is just trying not to die
The thing I love in this music and video is that Ren is talking about hypocrisy and at the end he just realized that he is been hypocrite too when he is going to burn the guy he kidnapped. You can see it in his eyes and expression right before the self-immolation ending. He is a genius.
Wow, I didn't realize he didn't pour gas on the guitar guy, I usually tune out when the gas can comes out, emotional subject.
The self-immolation at the end references a Buddhist tradition, as a way of opening peoples eyes to recognise that they are living 'in a burning house'. Hence the eyes drawn on the mask earlier in the performance. It doesn't work ...hence the ending.
My dude, you have to forgive this poor, old italian man. I'm just discovering your songs and I think I needed an artist like you. Simply a genious, your interpretation capacity, your way to sing every single song with an emotive partecipation that has no comparison. You're Hi Ren is one of the best song I ever heard in the last years, I can't imagine how I could feel coming to one of your live shows.
Thanks for being you!!!
I’m an old Scottish woman, living off grid in a cabin is replaying this over and over.
Damn!!
I'm afraid I was swept so bad, so quickly and went down the "Hi Ren" rabbit whole so hard, that I've been looking at a tree for the last 2 weeks...
I had to step way back, and now I can see the forest...
This guys has been making amazing stuff for years...
This is just one of many examples...
Shit dude, your music is something absolutely fucking amazing...
Keep at it man!!!
100% agreed, today is my first listening and I am now on my fourth song!
😀 "the "hi Ren rabbit whole" , wow, there is a name of where I am since I heard "Hi Ren" first time.
a century artist WITH soul and mind, like Bob Marley, 2-pack, Amy Winehouse...... I pray for him and his survival

This the type of song to be in the start of a borderlands game
Borderlands: Higher Down
YES
Oh yeah
thats crazy thats what i was thinking
Oh god, it is.
AND THAT REMINDS ME, I NEVER GOT BORDERLAND 3!
this song should be played everyday in the beginning of history classes tbh genius
❤
Ooof, Ren is a master at evoking pain, grief, and full on anger. His music and videos are so insightful powerful, and moving. Mad respect.
This song is 5 years old. Heading into round 2 and will have this on repeat.
The fact that this whole video is all one continuous shot is really impressive
Several of his vids are one-shot deals; cool AF.
Who is the camera person?
This camera-work is wild! I sing praises to the guy who filmed this.
this is quite possibly one of the most intelligent music videos i've seen in decades.
if you haven’t yet enjoy the rabbit hole of Ren! He’s amazing!
Part I: The Citizens and Less Fortunate
Part II: The Media and Big Corporate
Part III: The Exceptional and the Criminal
Part III? Who knows, we're all hysterical
i’m forever in love with the camera work in your music videos, it’s so fluid and it makes me happy :’)
Cheers man we try!
@@SamuelPerryFalvey wait, you sre the cameraguy?
Never saw any meme, just the legal issue w/Ren on Justin Hawkins' channel. I scrolled down thru the music here, clicked this video and was freakin blown away by the talent. Consider me a new fan.
I can't get enough of this guy. Amazing lyrics, great simple melody and a wonderful poignant story about the money mire we are all stuck in. God Bless you Ren. Keep telling your stories, we will keep listening. Much love from Michigan, U.S.A.
Bro song on point. Most of his songs are. Sick twist on his lyrics with the acoustic. I’m digging it
No lyrics? Fine, I'll do that myself
[Verse 1]
It's a strange time we're living in
World can put fear in ya
Hierarchy parties, they make us feel inferior
Greed runs through the parliament interior
Devils walk among us, they fit the criteria
Eerie theories strike fear in weary minded men
When we’re clearly living in dictatorships?
Nearly blinded by illusions to choose
But who's fooling who?
A ball chained to your shoes I'm pained
It's a cryin' shame
The pursuit of our own wealth lights a flame
That makes greed a game that lets the whole world burn
As the world turns, the whole world burns
But money was invented for trade
But now those bits of paper twist hearts, make slaves
Turns a saint into a sinner, a child into a killer
His finger on the trigger of a money game
[Chorus]
Oh, rain, rain, rain, rain
A storm it comes our way
And those who rise through distorted lies
Poison in the veins
But we like to point the blame, blame, blame, blame
It's easier to blame
But point the mirror at ourselves
We're all part of this old money game
[Post-Chorus]
Mmm-mmm-mmm
This old money game
Mmm-mmm-mmm
[Verse 2]
Dear Mr. President
It's evident that everyone's a resident of fear
When they support these ideas that keep us separate
When the make us believe that everybody is coming
To terrorise you in the streets
They say proudly through gritted teeth
"It's my right to hate, that's freedom of speech"
But, when did freedom become a reason to hate?
A way to justify a racial slur or insult we make
There's an irony in freedom, 'cause us in the west
We have pillaged and plundered and murdered like savages
Colonised all of the rest, that's called hypocrisy
Preach a certain value that you'd never keep yourselves
If your country was in flames
You'd emigrate yourselves in a second
Still, you spit your venom
Demonising immigrants, when really your an immigrant
'Cause all of us are immigrants, or descended from immigrants
The irony is imminent, I'll shed the light on immigrants
America was colonised by Britain
Britain, it was colonised by Rome
And also colonised by the Saxons
They were German by the way
You know how people throw shade upon the Germans
'Cause of histories pain?
And yet we make the same mistakes all again
Demonise a whole people Jewish or Muslim
The same and the same
Old situation plays on repeat
The same old TV shows repeat
Yeah, we worship the bleak
Our opinions aren't our own and we follow like sheep
There's no left, there's no right, in the middle we sleep
[Chorus]
Rain, rain, rain, rain
A storm, it comes our way
And those who rise through distorted lies
Poison in the veins
But we like to point the blame, blame, blame, blame
It's easier to blame
But point the mirror at ourselves
We're all part of this old money game
[Post-Chorus]
Mmm-mmm-mmm
This old money game
Mmm-mmm-mmm
This old money game
Yes, I privatized the lyrics comment on this video, I just broke the song system
You owned it bro
@@younggamer7218 This is business economics in a nursery rhyme
He sells lyrics in the comments
But the value of this text will fall
Due to the laws of supply and demand
No one wants to buy text 'cause there's loads on the net
Step 1: you must create a sense of scarcity
Lyrics will sell much better if the people think they’re rare, you see
Bare with me, take as many words as you can find and hide 'em on an island
Stockpile 'em high until they’re rarer than a diamond
Step 2: you gotta make the people think that they want 'em
Really want 'em, really fuckin' want 'em, hit 'em like Bronson
Influencers, product placement, featured prime time entertainment
If you haven’t got a lyric, then you're just a fucking wasteman
Three: it's monopoly, invest inside some property
Start a corporation, make a logo, do it properly
"Lyrics must sell", that will be your new philosophy
Swallow all your morals, they're a poor man's quality
Four: expand, expand, expand
Clear forest, make land, fresh blood on hand
Five: why just words? Why limit yourself?
He sells lyrics, sell oil as well
Six: guns, sell stocks, sell diamonds, sell rocks
Sell water to a fish, sell the time to a clock
Seven: press on the gas, take your foot off the brakes
Then run to be the president of the United States
Eight: big smile mate, big wave, that's great
Now the truth is overrated, tell lies out the gate
Nine: Polarise the people, controversy is the game
It don't matter if they hate you if they all say your name
Ten: the world is yours
Step out on a stage to a round of applause
You're a liar, a cheat, a devil, a whore
And you sell lyrics in the comments

Literally no one:
Peaky Blinder’s fans:
He looks like Thomas Shelby
He is actually one of them
Yeeeeeeeeeeeahhhh
Oo! Damn! Yes!He does!
Celestial he seriously does! Ever since I became a fan of his, I thought that if they ever make a movie about Ren, Cillian Murphy should play ren haha
Can they at least say he looks like "Cillian Murphy "
Oh my god. Ren. I am making my way through your videos with tears down my face. Your music is visceral. Thank you. X
pas l habitude de laisser des commentaires, mais là c'est juste énorme !!! incompréhensible que REN ne soit pas plus connu avec un tel talent ! ça fait tellement de bien de voir un artiste ressentir à ce point ce qu'il chante, même dans les sentiments les plus obscurs !!! big respect !!!
Jesus Christ this guy is off the scale brilliant 🎉
I’m from saudi arabia. And this song is genius ( although i had to translate some vocabulary that were new to me) but really u are brilliant.
The fact it’s one take, you talking reality, camera man and the guitarist doing a very great job. It’s a complete masterpiece! 🖤✨
Incredibly thought provoking! Thank you for creating this masterpiece of "societal self-reflection" on greed!
I'm really loving your work! Been sliding down the rabbit hole!
True art!
Thank you.
The combination of song, theatre, and poetry he pulls off is one of the reasons I will forever come back to listen to Ren. He is, in my opinion, one of THE most underrated artists out there. He isn’t afraid of saying what he wants and his determination and shear force of will is astounding. I hope he never gives up on his dream and always continues to rock on despite the haters 🤘🏻
Arrived here from a video of Luigi singing to another luigi
Yes
Me 2
Same it’s all fucking quality tho
Same
same
I’m blown away by this young man’s creativity, I’m in, hook, line & sinker 👌
Brilliant! Just brilliant. You Star! Stay Bright.
Sending love and best wishes from an old lady living off grid in a cabin by the woods. 💚
Amazing, Ren. I fucking adore you. I'm making everyone obsessed with you here in Argentina. I hope I can see you performing soon, it would be life changing.
Thanks so much! Big love! The song is out on all streaming platforms too! Downloading or streaming helps me massively! smarturl.it/MoneyGame
Not gonna lie my jaw was dropped the entire time, chills everywhere. We love you Ren
Dude, I'm in Texas so I'm super late to the party but I just sent your music to every friend I have. We all agree "this kids a genius !!" Thank you for sharing 😊...
just stumbeld into the REN rabbit hole and I be shocked and overwhelmed and deeply touch at the same time. This lyrics are insane true today.
This should be played in the oval office on jan 20th.
How is one man so multi-faceted in his brilliance? And a seemingly decent person on top of it all.
This man is amazing.... and his collaborators.... truly a musical genius ... and I’m 53 years old, can’t wait to lockdown end to go and see him live somewhere. Thank you so much for your music dude, I haven’t been so exited since the Arctic Monkeys came along, or Bowie before that.... crazy..! 💚
Not only great music, but great lighting, cinematography, direction... Everything.
Rain rain rain, a storm is coming. 4 years later and this ages well. You we're right 4 years ago. It's storming. And you're so frikkin talented. Never seen an artist I can Identify with so much. I love you bro🥰
0:50 so in the canon of money game, the saint who turns into a sinner is the lady who sells seashells, and the child who turns into a killer is Jimmy.
Sharp!
If people in power saw Ren's work, imagine the changes that could be made. Sure, money is important, but art is the reason we live.
Just found through Prof. Glad I checked Ren out. Damn glad!
I'm not used to listen to British rap but this one is my favourite so far, man you're talented
I don’t understand how this came out 3 years ago & it didn’t blow up?! It’s such an incredible song with a huge message- it’s got so much worse since too 😢
Yes, the woke have only gotten woker and even more destructive.
It’s incredible
Because he has standards and won’t lower them to be a part of the money game...
@@femakampfcounselor8466 he not no opp 🔥🗣
check out my recent track th-cam.com/video/nyWbun_PbTc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=nepHJVuzfaO7Lwum ❤️ Let me know you thinkkkkk!
Love this why isn’t REN no . 1 in top charts
because the most ignorant ones seem to make it the furthest... at least he's becoming more well known, I'm in Canada and he's easily in my top favourite artists of all time, just wish mainstream would be more intelligent...
Sam cool
With every song made, this guy proves that he's my favourite artist. People stay for the lyrics. And I've never seen lyrics this great (the voice and sense for making beautiful music is another thing.)
Wow the bars in this song are unreal. Love good old fashioned rap that tells a story rather than just flex about cash cars, houses and money. This song is insane.
When I was a kid, I thought, people who create popular songs must be wise, cause so many people listen to their words. Finally and thankfully it became true.
I love this song.
Since diving into the Rabbithole, I haven't found anything that isn't outstandingly good.
Ren, you are a musical genius.
One of the rare moments where I am truly grateful to the youtube algorithm for helping me come across Ren
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️ all I can say wish I had more! Listen to you everyday since your song with our boy Prof "Pain Salesman"
