Let me start off by saying he did start at 1 it was such a long reaction that I forgot😂. Also I love that I might not have this exactly right so that I can come to the comments and see what people think! I only listened to this once and haven’t been able to go back because I shot this at 1:30 am and put it out at 3am lol. Thank you so much for your comments and for watching. What a masterpiece of a song and video! #MuchLove
It’s all good bro but definitely recommend going back and watching this one again from having the understanding that it was actually Jimmy’s father who pushed him more and more to chase more money and power from a very early age :)
@@paulbrooke9813 and I guess I didn’t really notice. I was thinking about it generally but I love how his music is making you think like this! Thanks for watching. More to come 🤘🏾🔥
Absolutely man, Ren is an artist doing the game like nobody else and his music always brings up different perspectives and conversations. I’d probably see it differently watching it at 1.30am too 😂 loving watching your appreciation for his work though bro. I remember your reactions to all the Led Zep stuff when that other dude showed you the whole catalogue (probs my favourite band of all time). So I know you have top quality musical taste and experience when seeing your reactions now. Just glad you’ve found Ren to enjoy with us all 👊
@@paulbrooke9813 thanks so much. I want to get back to more rock reactions with him because I have matured in my music taste and my ear for how the music sounds. Glad your watching me on this journey 🤘🏾🔥
His father didn't try to get him to go the right way. He taught him money is all that matters and you should take all you can. He instilled greed in him. Greed for money but also greed for approval. Nothing Jimmy did was good enough. Everytime he felt he was succeeding, his father moved the target. At the end he's questioning the choices he made. Lamborghini for lives, trading money for souls. He did those things. Now at the end of his life he's realizing that none of it was worth the cost.
I see this as Jimmy could never please his father despite doing everything he could. Once his father died, Jimmy realized he could never get his father’s approval and spiraled into self-destruction. I love how Ren subtly tied all the songs together. Great reaction ❤
The American dream, it’s all about the money. Your comment at the beginning that you got to work hard for everything, what you meant was getting money at any cost. Tut tut! We all buy into the belief of chasing money to have a long and fulfilling life😢
This hits hard. I always tried to be at the top of every company I worked for and ended up in corporate makinging a shed tonne of money, presenting strategies and revenue forecasts for the BOard of Directors of a massive company. And then last November I had a stroke due to the stress. I was 43 at the time. I forgot how to walk, use the stairs, read, properly, had no sense of balance, had double vision, etc. for months. I had to teach myself how to walk again and I still struggle. Thinking about going to a shop terrifies me because at any moment I could fall over and make a scene. My girlfiend of 6 years left me as well. My confidence and self-worth used to be through the ceiling. Now I'm just a depressed 44 year old, barely a husk of my former self that is completely homebound that requires my housemate and neighbours to help get groceries for me and take the bins out. It's getting better though but it's a sruggle everyday. It's been a messed up year to say the least and has put a lot into perpective. It just take a moment to completely change your life.
I find your perspective fascinating. I like hearing what others get out of a work of art. We all bring ourselves into our interpretation. You may get backlash but it's important that we hear what everyone has to say. I hear this as being about how the worship of money and greed impact our lives, and asking us to find another way. Don't teach your children that momey is the ultimate goal in life. The sole pursuit of money is destroying our world and lives. There is another way.
He is a talented gifted genius. Peaky Blinders meets Shakespeare. Someone like REN comes along once in a generation. All credit to his team of friends as well. We all love REN so much ❤
Jimmy was messed up. From birth he was taught only that money and materialism ruled. His father never showed love, was never satisfied with what his son achieved. He was continuously put down until his life spiralled out of control. He had no checks and balances and he ended up destryoying himself. Ren the master story teller did it again. Massive repect to the production crew, sound lighting the whole works.
He started at 1 - first words…mine mine gimmie… the callback is everything. I also love the imagery of Jimmy becoming Moore underhanded- ducking under the handshake ❤❤
@@DRichOfficial One of the best videos I've seen in a long time and I'm old! Very creative fella, he's been a joy to watch for years and he just keeps getting better with age (like the cheese he stabs up)😉 I wish him the best in life and his amazing artistry. Also really enjoy your reactions to him 👍😁
. My interpretation was that the guy in the beginning comes in to piano which to me showed like a someone else comes and takes your place in the cycle. When Ren took off his hostage hood and looks in the mirror to me a mirror represents self reflection and being honest with oneself. Than the boy named jimmy to me i thought was a boy on the opposite side of the tracks from screech(james) growing up in wealth, screech growing up in poverty. The song reflecting on Jimmy's life one of his first memories and there after was the expectations his father and society put on him. The people with all the bags on their head to me were hostages everyone was a hostage to the money game everyone working, cartels, symphony like his servents Ren was the only one at that point with no hood on which to me represented thar he was the only one being honest and reflecting about his part in the money game a d acknowledging it. He is climbing the ladder and gets as high as he can without breaking the law and the hunger for more more more. We have been warned by philosophers for years about what's happening. They say that everyone one earth has natural needs and all natural needs can be filled if your hungry you eat and that's fulfilled if your cold you get warmth and that's fulfilled. UT power, politics, money etc is made from our ideas and designs and bc of that you can never fill that void it's impossible and you do everything you can in life hurting others, self sabotaging your own life there is no line at what cost you will do. Ok that's all.sorry so long winded.
It somehow bothers me that a lot of reactors say Jimmy is doing okay and being successful until the call. No. It's not okay to teach our kids that life is all about money. As Ren said, is an exaggerated version of society but this is reality. And if we do not recognize that in the early stages then we definitely are doomed.
But that's exactly why this piece of art is important. We have entire generations who have been taught from early age to pursue money and material things. It's not the fault of those people how they've been brought up but now Ren is hopefully making people question their outlook on money and life. Hopefully those who hear Ren's message will teach their children and close ones differently.
Money is evil and I guess that’s what I was trying to say. We do have to work hard to get to a certain spot in life but not to the point that we overdue it or we put money over everything. I love this video and I could have interpreted it wrong on first listen. I want to go back and give a final thoughts🤘🏾
I really would like to apologize to you if my comment felt like criticism towards you. It wasn't, or at least it was not my intention. I love your reactions and you seem to be a good kid with your head and heart in a good place. I just was (negatively) surprised to see that a lot of people did not catch the “evil” life path of Jimmy until his dad died. A lot of reactors (not just you) seemed to find that a normal life until then. It made me sad a bit. I guess @Dsdnv is right, this is what makes this piece of art even more important. So, if it was criticism, then it was meant toward society. Sorry it landed on your channel 🙈
I like that this one has piano and a quartet of strings instead of just a strumming acoustic guitar for accompaniment. Piano throughout is different and pleasing to my ear drums. I agree with 90% of the comments before mine, so far, although I haven't read all of them. I try not to form an opinion of the reactors, they have their own opinions by what they heard the first time, that's why I watch reactors, what do they hear and feel and get out of the music? Then I wait and watch.
Ren…… I am a lot older than you and I haven’t heard a more important message in a song. Great reaction. Thank you. Be careful what you wish for they say.
I think you’re right, you do have to instill some kind of fight in your children so that they know that they have to work hard in life to get somewhere. However, there is that fine line that he is showing, between pushing your kid in the right way and over stressing your child. I think it really changed when he told him that money was the means to all ends in place of love and happiness.
It's both funny and depressing how many American reactors seem to believe that daddy was speaking 'facts' and that all the 'greed is good' stuff was fine, to be admired even, until the drugs at least... completely missing the meaning of this piece...
I'm an American and I am literally sick to my stomach knowing how many grown American adults accept and believe what Jimmy's father had told him was the way to a fulfilling life. I've never cared much for money. Don't get me wrong I appreciate and likes nice things but at what cost? Only now are we beginning to see what greed and the pursuit of money WILL cost ALL human souls. I've always put more weight on how people treat me, how the little things that they do in my life can become worth more than gold. I appreciate human beings for their soul not for what they can hand me in Little bits of paper in the palm of my hand❤
Yes! I’m American and noticed the same. This is about completely disrupting the system-we are all responsible-not just problematic messages from fathers to sons.
This is a deep piece. How you see it and how you interpret it is your vision. Just because I may take something different away than you did does not make either of us wrong. Thank you for staying up late to take this reaction on. Looking forward to your feelings about the rest of the album.
I dont agree his father was right in the beginning. Jimmy needed love and nurturing. His Dads core value was based on money. No wonder Jimmy climbed and climbed without soul.
I wonder how Ren will handle his life with his new fame and wealth. He is very smart, but also young and idealizes things. You can easily fall the other way too, if you do not care for money. It’s an eternal dance trying to balance everything (semi quote). I decided to watch this video the first time on your channel D. I appreciate your calm reactions and thoughts. Thank you. Ren never stops surprising me, what a talented artist 🩷 By the way, money is not evil. Humans beings are. Money is only paper.
He said almost every major music label knocked down his door this year trying to sign him with multi-million dollar offers and he told them all to f*ck off. He said he honestly doesn't give a damn about money or fame. Someone even tried to cancel him on one of his live streams and he turned around and made it into a running joke for like a month because he honestly just doesn't care what people think about him. It's awesome to watch.
You are quickly becoming one of my favorite reactors. You are thoughtful and genuine and seem to really take care and time in processing Ren's art. I was worried in the beginning of this video that you were getting the wrong idea but you came around you are a good person great reaction❤
What's sad about this is there is a little bit of Jimmy In all of us! we're all part of that same money game. it's not like we can conscientiously object! The way the modern world is designed means no money no home, no money no food, no money no life! But chase those little bits of paper too hard you end up with no morals, no empathy and eventually no soul.
Thanks for reacting. I honestly know that mental sharpness declines the longer you are awake, especially as you approach the early morning…. You may want to reserve reactions until you are rested, especially with Ren, lol. There’s so much you can miss if you’re not on top of your game. I think you missed the mark, and the message of this piece. Mostly because of being tired, and partly because you, too, are trapped in the money game… your reaction to “listen here, son, a man works for what he wants” is mired in the mindset of competition vs. cooperation, which is the sin of greed (you immediately pointed out a competition between the industrious vs. the lazy - thinking that the message of working for what you want is “good,” when it’s actually the root of the money game…. ). Ren is trying to show that the mindset of greed (“the world don’t care about you son, take all that you can”) is what led Jimmy down the path of self destruction. (FWIW, I’m 56, and I know that I have been involved in the “money game” my entire life. I caught an inkling in my 30s, and then as I grew older realized I was entrenched - but the game requires that you continue to work. I was fortunate that my career field is one that I enjoy. Now that I am reaching retirement age, and I have a granddaughter that is 2, I see the money game laid out for her… Anyway, we all bring our own perspective to interpretations - but when you’re fresh, go back and watch this again. I think you’ll have an “Aha!” Moment. Also, watch parts I and II to really get the message. Cheers. And I sincerely hope that you can find a job/career as we live our lives in this money game that you can enjoy going to work and the people there, and perhaps the mission.
This is such an amazing and deep song. Song? No, this isn't just a song! It's something so much more! Something my standard vocabulary is struggling to describe adequately enough! So I'll just say art. I love your reaction style and that was the reason I suggested that you try reacting to Ren, and this is a great first time listen reaction, which is an extremely brave thing to do! I really hope you get the chance to listen to this again because I feel you missed some important points of the story. One of these being the underlying theme of greed and that he had become a drugs baron.😁 I've never been bothered enough about a track , sorry piece of art, and a particular reactor to write a comment like this. It's bloody hard because you don't want to upset anyone! 🤣
@@DRichOfficial I suffer from social anxiety, so writing that comment to you was one of the hardest, self-inflicted, things I have done for a very long time. I'm just happy I didn't piss you off. 😁❤
Is it ne or are there vibes of the movie "The Game"? Want more Yamaha and strings. Maybe soneday he'll do a mini concerto. Thanks for the inciteful reaction!
And I hope people can see this is an artistic vision of a precautionary tale, not a thing that happens to every person in the pursuit of money , rens line in hi ren......, and for me that’s enough cause this life’s been tough and it gives me a purpose I can rest in ......it’s ok to go after money , but have a purpose you can rest in, otherwise. Money game 3 ...precautionary tales , although tragic have importance when told by genius like ren, had to study and learn from another guy like this in school, name was Shakespeare
Commenting at 4 minutes in: A kid being told that he has to work to earn isn't a bad thing, but it is *damn* important that we learn it should not be that way, that it isn't the *point.* Necessity is not made of the same things and value and virtue.
I wondered how this would work on the album. It's very well done! I've already listened to the whole thing twice even though I know all the songs that were online already.
Great reaction man, the first I’ve watched from you. I really like your style and I really like that you caught a lot of things that not everyone did. Subbed and liked dude. Respect from the Uk ✌🏼
Mr Rich, I am 55 yrs old and I noticed a few comments where I can see the young bravado of the people who like my younger self knew more than my elders, that was me I knew everything and I was always correct. Money does not make you rich, yes it's a necessity but financial education is required in schools but it won't happen because that means the citizens catching the thief's. I can only give one piece of advice, we have eyes but cannot see, we have 2 ears but do not listen and we have to learn to keep our mouths shut or we don't get education. Peace and Love to you and your family 🏴 🏴 🏴 🏴
The critical thinker is uncomfortable would be my best guess as to the numbers of views. The views are coming. I saw a visible change in your face while watching. Hitting nerves is rens game 🎯 and I appreciate every one of the reactors thoughts. People are thinking!!! It's amazing ❤
His father was a POS right from the beginning. He never steered Jimmy in the right direction, he steered him into the greed and the LOVE of money (game). Get the money no matter who you crush or kill, that was daddy's motto. He twisted Jimmy just like himself.
Such a great song Ren is a freaking genius 🎉🎉🎉 no approval from dad and he declined in life 😢😢. Please react to What Went Wrong 1,2 official video's you will be surprised by the outcome of the songs. Loved the reaction oh and let me warn you now in the two songs I gave you everything is not what it seems to be haha you've been warned😂😂😂
His Father did not try and get him on the right path, his Father suffered from the same "affliction" that ended up destroying Jimmy, it's a Generational curse passed from 1 generation to the next. He just described the mentality of the elites in 9 minutes in the most creative way, but also how everyone else facilitates it
The only thing ren gets wrong in this trilogy is the idea of the collective being more important than the individual. Individuals make up a collective and you can't cookie cutter add a fix to a group of people. Individuals need to better themselves and that spreads to the collective. It all starts from you, clean your room before you try to better the world. But it's cool I get the ideolistic youth. I also love star trek and hope for utopia but it won't ever be possible so long as greed exists so for the time being, the best solution is the libertarian perspective. The focus on the individual is paramount. Socialism is absolutely dangerous period.
I did not grow up this way. I guess I was trying to convey how the world looks at things as far as money. At some point you do have to grow up and work hard to get things but money is not everything. You can’t get spoon fed but also do let the money control your life. Love this video! Thanks for watching 🤘🏾
Its all ok. I know you dont REALIZE YOU ARE ONE of "Them". There is still time for you to learn and you are smart. His dad Drove him to be this way. This how "They" are and drive their kids to be. Enough is NEVER enough for them! Poor poor Jimmy was a victim.
I’m not sure you really got it my friend. The point is from day one he was taught to be greedy. His father told him money was the means to ALL ends! Maybe in America that’s what you teach your children in a capitalist system. But mate - money is the root of all evil and we only use it as a tool because we have to, but family, connections to people and your environment are far more important. Life is so short and the worshipping of money will only make it shorter. Where’s the love in his story? Where’s the life?
And I guess I didn’t mean to come off as money being more important than life. But more so your a man and have to work hard to get where you want. Fame and riches come along and you do tend to be blind to other things like love and life. Money is evil and yes we shouldn’t teach people to go after it like it’s the most important thing in life🤘🏾. Thanks for watching!!
You didnt6 get this at all, his father was the demon, nothing he ever did was good enough, so he kept going to make him proud it never came and after his dad died he went off the rails big time.
I may just have a bad case of derangement syndrome, but i feel there were references to Trump throught the song. The cold, controlling father, #45, the red tie, learning to lie effectively, the prostitute, and i think there's more but I'm baked. Im not saying he's Jimmy, the differences are vast, but i think Ren was aware he made those connections. Seriously, tell me if you think i have TDS. 🤣
It’s natural to try and decipher “who is he talking about?” but Ren has so deliberately addressed here, in other songs (Pt 1 & 2) and in interviews that this is an “us” problem. The minute this song becomes a political debate it’s lost it’s meaning.
@@Calmontheoutside I don't think it's a political debate and politics are just another human construct like money, borders, etc., but I still feel the references were purposeful and served to illustrate the game and how it's played.
@@snakelite61You’re right-I see references too. Bill Gates, teenage “influencers”, etc. But I also hear millions of families whose names we never know driven by having kids who read in preschool and on and on. The titans of industry are an obvious problem and target but if we don’t look at ourselves we’re missing our role in the problem. I guess what I should have said is I HOPE the discussion doesn’t get political because it stilts the talking.
i really think your missing the point. the father is the cause of jimmy chasing money power and fame. nothing jimmy does is enough for the dad, he is wealthy and successful amd the father taunts him your still not the man your not even in second place. this pressure from parents, friends and society to be successful are what is pushing the whole money game. people want more and more and that has become human nature over time.
Man to man you do want to make your father proud but once you grow up you have to get it on your own. Just don’t let the money, fame and fortune take over and I was trying to make that point just didn’t get it across
@@DRichOfficial ya of course everyone wants to make their parents proud. but i feel the point he is making is people are being pushed into this materialistic, me, me, me, world from a young age and grow up believing the only thing that can make them happy or feel fulfilled is money. Only when something real happens do we take stock of what we actually have and what is important. Your health is your wealth all the rest is BS. We all do it everyone wants a better job, better car, bigger house its all part of the money game that keeps making profit for the already rich and powerful elite. Check out crucify your culture its another song with a message regarding corporations, government and consumerism etc.. Been enjoying them all so far
You do realize I fast forward through every time you stop it do you know how annoying that is? try watching one of your videos? I'm sure you'll agree. you're not adding to the video you're taking away from the video that he work hard to create. Selfishness Hubris? I don't know what it is
Are you having a fuckin' laugh? @DRichOffical is a reactor! He reacts to music videos! He stops the video so he can react! Which means he gives his opinion on the video! I think you've got confused with what a reaction channel does and what an artists channel does! One reacts to the song and the other doesn't! Di*ck'ed. 😂

Everyone takes something different from Ren's videos which what makes us human, if we all think the same what fun is that!
His father didn't try to get him to go the right way. He taught him money is all that matters and you should take all you can. He instilled greed in him. Greed for money but also greed for approval. Nothing Jimmy did was good enough. Everytime he felt he was succeeding, his father moved the target.

Yeah, he can't walk, he doesn't have a family. All he has is gold. Nothing that can really make him happy.
How can a reactor get everything so wrong.
I see this as Jimmy could never please his father despite doing everything he could. Once his father died, Jimmy realized he could never get his father’s approval and spiraled into self-destruction. I love how Ren subtly tied all the songs together. Great reaction ❤

Love your reactions friend. Adore this song. Ren is so important, his art could really change things.
Absolute masterpiece! Part 1 and 2 mentions “finger on the trigger of a money game”. Well part 3, it was pulled!
Stunning isn't it?

I love the story-twlling aspect of songs like this and NF- story, something about them not having a corus and yet it draws you in
I like that this one has piano and a quartet of strings instead of just a strumming acoustic guitar for accompaniment. Piano throughout is different and pleasing to my ear drums. I agree with 90% of the comments before mine, so far, although I haven't read all of them. I try not to form an opinion of the reactors, they have their own opinions by what they heard the first time, that's why I watch reactors, what do they hear and feel and get out of the music? Then I wait and watch.
Ren…… I am a lot older than you and I haven’t heard a more important message in a song.
Great reaction.
Thank you.
Be careful what you wish for they say.
this is art at its finest masterpiece thank you for reacting to this sending big love from the UK ❤❤
I think you’re right, you do have to instill some kind of fight in your children so that they know that they have to work hard in life to get somewhere. However, there is that fine line that he is showing, between pushing your kid in the right way and over stressing your child. I think it really changed when he told him that money was the means to all ends in place of love and happiness.
This was definitely an EPIC creation.
It's both funny and depressing how many American reactors seem to believe that daddy was speaking 'facts' and that all the 'greed is good' stuff was fine, to be admired even, until the drugs at least... completely missing the meaning of this piece...
Yes, a very interesting reflection of the American Dream and the damage it causes the whole world.
Yup it certainly is
I'm an American and I am literally sick to my stomach knowing how many grown American adults accept and believe what Jimmy's father had told him was the way to a fulfilling life. I've never cared much for money. Don't get me wrong I appreciate and likes nice things but at what cost? Only now are we beginning to see what greed and the pursuit of money WILL cost ALL human souls. I've always put more weight on how people treat me, how the little things that they do in my life can become worth more than gold. I appreciate human beings for their soul not for what they can hand me in Little bits of paper in the palm of my hand❤
Yes! I’m American and noticed the same. This is about completely disrupting the system-we are all responsible-not just problematic messages from fathers to sons.
This is a deep piece. How you see it and how you interpret it is your vision. Just because I may take something different away than you did does not make either of us wrong. Thank you for staying up late to take this reaction on. Looking forward to your feelings about the rest of the album.
Absolute masterpiece INDEED!!! Much love Brother:)
I dont agree his father was right in the beginning. Jimmy needed love and nurturing. His Dads core value was based on money. No wonder Jimmy climbed and climbed without soul.
I wonder how Ren will handle his life with his new fame and wealth. He is very smart, but also young and idealizes things. You can easily fall the other way too, if you do not care for money. It’s an eternal dance trying to balance everything (semi quote). I decided to watch this video the first time on your channel D. I appreciate your calm reactions and thoughts. Thank you. Ren never stops surprising me, what a talented artist 🩷 By the way, money is not evil. Humans beings are. Money is only paper.
ren is 33 , 34 in March I reckon he's probably wise enough now to keep his head on his shoulders 😉
its the love of money that is evil
Ren has said a lot of things in relation to money , he views it as nothing , its just paper and discs of metal to him .
He said almost every major music label knocked down his door this year trying to sign him with multi-million dollar offers and he told them all to f*ck off. He said he honestly doesn't give a damn about money or fame. Someone even tried to cancel him on one of his live streams and he turned around and made it into a running joke for like a month because he honestly just doesn't care what people think about him. It's awesome to watch.
You are quickly becoming one of my favorite reactors. You are thoughtful and genuine and seem to really take care and time in processing Ren's art. I was worried in the beginning of this video that you were getting the wrong idea but you came around you are a good person great reaction❤
We are all in the money game. It’s about how we all contribute
Enjoyed your reaction to this master piece !
You did a great job overall, especially considering only watching it once at a silly hour 👍
Look forward to seeing you react to more Ren
Cheers pal 🍻😀
🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥
Edit: the only thing of value you can take with you in the end is love
D Rich are gonna be mindblown over this song.
What's sad about this is there is a little bit of Jimmy In all of us! we're all part of that same money game. it's not like we can conscientiously object! The way the modern world is designed means no money no home, no money no food, no money no life! But chase those little bits of paper too hard you end up with no morals, no empathy and eventually no soul.
I liked your reaction. Also that you reflected on it so concentratedly. Greetings from Germany.
Thank you! I might have got some parts wrong but that’s the beauty of music and what Ren does!
Hi Ren, Money game 3 and children of the moon Best art pieces. and of course Jenny, Screech and Violet.
Ren just made the best one take video ever made
Thanks for reacting.
I honestly know that mental sharpness declines the longer you are awake, especially as you approach the early morning…. You may want to reserve reactions until you are rested, especially with Ren, lol. There’s so much you can miss if you’re not on top of your game.
I think you missed the mark, and the message of this piece. Mostly because of being tired, and partly because you, too, are trapped in the money game… your reaction to “listen here, son, a man works for what he wants” is mired in the mindset of competition vs. cooperation, which is the sin of greed (you immediately pointed out a competition between the industrious vs. the lazy - thinking that the message of working for what you want is “good,” when it’s actually the root of the money game…. ). Ren is trying to show that the mindset of greed (“the world don’t care about you son, take all that you can”) is what led Jimmy down the path of self destruction. (FWIW, I’m 56, and I know that I have been involved in the “money game” my entire life. I caught an inkling in my 30s, and then as I grew older realized I was entrenched - but the game requires that you continue to work. I was fortunate that my career field is one that I enjoy. Now that I am reaching retirement age, and I have a granddaughter that is 2, I see the money game laid out for her…
Anyway, we all bring our own perspective to interpretations - but when you’re fresh, go back and watch this again. I think you’ll have an “Aha!” Moment. Also, watch parts I and II to really get the message.
Cheers. And I sincerely hope that you can find a job/career as we live our lives in this money game that you can enjoy going to work and the people there, and perhaps the mission.
This is such an amazing and deep song. Song? No, this isn't just a song! It's something so much more! Something my standard vocabulary is struggling to describe adequately enough! So I'll just say art. I love your reaction style and that was the reason I suggested that you try reacting to Ren, and this is a great first time listen reaction, which is an extremely brave thing to do! I really hope you get the chance to listen to this again because I feel you missed some important points of the story. One of these being the underlying theme of greed and that he had become a drugs baron.😁 I've never been bothered enough about a track , sorry piece of art, and a particular reactor to write a comment like this. It's bloody hard because you don't want to upset anyone! 🤣
Yes I might even go back with a final thoughts video🤘🏾🔥
@@DRichOfficial I suffer from social anxiety, so writing that comment to you was one of the hardest, self-inflicted, things I have done for a very long time. I'm just happy I didn't piss you off. 😁❤
Live one take. Simply amazing
It’s literally a movie lol
If you rewind a little, after pausing, you won't miss anything. :)
Is it ne or are there vibes of the movie "The Game"? Want more Yamaha and strings. Maybe soneday he'll do a mini concerto.
Thanks for the inciteful reaction!
The U.N. should play this at the next full General Assembly. And in the House of Commons, Congress and every State legislature.
Been waiting on this one! 🔥❤
And I hope people can see this is an artistic vision of a precautionary tale, not a thing that happens to every person in the pursuit of money , rens line in hi ren......, and for me that’s enough cause this life’s been tough and it gives me a purpose I can rest in ......it’s ok to go after money , but have a purpose you can rest in, otherwise. Money game 3 ...precautionary tales , although tragic have importance when told by genius like ren, had to study and learn from another guy like this in school, name was Shakespeare
Bro, great reaction. I enjoyed the shit out of it. Ren is a special talent.
Commenting at 4 minutes in: A kid being told that he has to work to earn isn't a bad thing, but it is *damn* important that we learn it should not be that way, that it isn't the *point.*
Necessity is not made of the same things and value and virtue.
I wondered how this would work on the album. It's very well done! I've already listened to the whole thing twice even though I know all the songs that were online already.
Ty for getting to it.
Great reaction man, the first I’ve watched from you. I really like your style and I really like that you caught a lot of things that not everyone did. Subbed and liked dude. Respect from the Uk ✌🏼
Mr Rich, I am 55 yrs old and I noticed a few comments where I can see the young bravado of the people who like my younger self knew more than my elders, that was me I knew everything and I was always correct. Money does not make you rich, yes it's a necessity but financial education is required in schools but it won't happen because that means the citizens catching the thief's. I can only give one piece of advice, we have eyes but cannot see, we have 2 ears but do not listen and we have to learn to keep our mouths shut or we don't get education. Peace and Love to you and your family 🏴 🏴 🏴 🏴
Great breakdown bro
Thank you! I know I wasn’t all the way right but I’m glad you watched🤘🏾🔥
FYI @KnoxHill is having Ren live today 11:15 am PST to chat about Sick Boi Album ♥️
Don't ignore your veteran whilst you sat comfy.
It's an amazing creative video.
Like beyond creative!
The critical thinker is uncomfortable would be my best guess as to the numbers of views. The views are coming. I saw a visible change in your face while watching. Hitting nerves is rens game 🎯 and I appreciate every one of the reactors thoughts. People are thinking!!! It's amazing ❤
Ren makes you think!
Let’s go.
A masterpiece🔥🔥
His father was a POS right from the beginning. He never steered Jimmy in the right direction, he steered him into the greed and the LOVE of money (game). Get the money no matter who you crush or kill, that was daddy's motto. He twisted Jimmy just like himself.
Such a great song Ren is a freaking genius 🎉🎉🎉 no approval from dad and he declined in life 😢😢. Please react to What Went Wrong 1,2 official video's you will be surprised by the outcome of the songs. Loved the reaction oh and let me warn you now in the two songs I gave you everything is not what it seems to be haha you've been warned😂😂😂
Thank you!
Masterpiece 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐❣️
This is the best one of the 3 in my opinion
Ren sure love numbers and symbols
Yes he does!
on the table there was 5 shells Ren only put 4 in i think it Jammed because you hear a click at end
This is a never can please help a father.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
His Father did not try and get him on the right path, his Father suffered from the same "affliction" that ended up destroying Jimmy, it's a Generational curse passed from 1 generation to the next. He just described the mentality of the elites in 9 minutes in the most creative way, but also how everyone else facilitates it
Awesome 👏❤️🇬🇧
I just want that globe ❤
🌹🦇🌹🦇
👌🏻
No man you got it twisted. He felt he was never good enough for his father. No matter what he did, his dad was saying you need more.
all you hear is a click, we don't know Jimmy's fate.. the gun was wet after all.
Oh ģod its a masterpiece
Incredible!!
Soo... Can humans overcome greed or are we "mold upon the surface that consumes 'till it dies"?
He started at 1. LOL
The only thing ren gets wrong in this trilogy is the idea of the collective being more important than the individual. Individuals make up a collective and you can't cookie cutter add a fix to a group of people. Individuals need to better themselves and that spreads to the collective. It all starts from you, clean your room before you try to better the world. But it's cool I get the ideolistic youth. I also love star trek and hope for utopia but it won't ever be possible so long as greed exists so for the time being, the best solution is the libertarian perspective. The focus on the individual is paramount. Socialism is absolutely dangerous period.
the point is greed of the system
Im 24 and I still don't feel like a man yet 😂
“The man in the mirror “ this has left me think was your father like Jimmy’s as you didn’t seem to see how wrong his father was!
I did not grow up this way. I guess I was trying to convey how the world looks at things as far as money. At some point you do have to grow up and work hard to get things but money is not everything. You can’t get spoon fed but also do let the money control your life. Love this video! Thanks for watching 🤘🏾
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💕
Its all ok. I know you dont REALIZE YOU ARE ONE of "Them".
There is still time for you to learn and you are smart. His dad Drove him to be this way. This how "They" are and drive their kids to be. Enough is NEVER enough for them! Poor poor Jimmy was a victim.
I’m not sure you really got it my friend. The point is from day one he was taught to be greedy. His father told him money was the means to ALL ends! Maybe in America that’s what you teach your children in a capitalist system. But mate - money is the root of all evil and we only use it as a tool because we have to, but family, connections to people and your environment are far more important. Life is so short and the worshipping of money will only make it shorter. Where’s the love in his story? Where’s the life?
And I guess I didn’t mean to come off as money being more important than life. But more so your a man and have to work hard to get where you want. Fame and riches come along and you do tend to be blind to other things like love and life. Money is evil and yes we shouldn’t teach people to go after it like it’s the most important thing in life🤘🏾. Thanks for watching!!
🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤✌
You didnt6 get this at all, his father was the demon, nothing he ever did was good enough, so he kept going to make him proud it never came and after his dad died he went off the rails big time.
I may just have a bad case of derangement syndrome, but i feel there were references to Trump throught the song. The cold, controlling father, #45, the red tie, learning to lie effectively, the prostitute, and i think there's more but I'm baked. Im not saying he's Jimmy, the differences are vast, but i think Ren was aware he made those connections. Seriously, tell me if you think i have TDS. 🤣
It’s natural to try and decipher “who is he talking about?” but Ren has so deliberately addressed here, in other songs (Pt 1 & 2) and in interviews that this is an “us” problem. The minute this song becomes a political debate it’s lost it’s meaning.
@@Calmontheoutside I don't think it's a political debate and politics are just another human construct like money, borders, etc., but I still feel the references were purposeful and served to illustrate the game and how it's played.
@@snakelite61You’re right-I see references too. Bill Gates, teenage “influencers”, etc. But I also hear millions of families whose names we never know driven by having kids who read in preschool and on and on. The titans of industry are an obvious problem and target but if we don’t look at ourselves we’re missing our role in the problem. I guess what I should have said is I HOPE the discussion doesn’t get political because it stilts the talking.
@@Calmontheoutside
Knox asked my question during his interview and Ren denied the connection, so I have my answer. 😊
i really think your missing the point. the father is the cause of jimmy chasing money power and fame. nothing jimmy does is enough for the dad, he is wealthy and successful amd the father taunts him your still not the man your not even in second place. this pressure from parents, friends and society to be successful are what is pushing the whole money game. people want more and more and that has become human nature over time.
Man to man you do want to make your father proud but once you grow up you have to get it on your own. Just don’t let the money, fame and fortune take over and I was trying to make that point just didn’t get it across
@@DRichOfficial ya of course everyone wants to make their parents proud. but i feel the point he is making is people are being pushed into this materialistic, me, me, me, world from a young age and grow up believing the only thing that can make them happy or feel fulfilled is money. Only when something real happens do we take stock of what we actually have and what is important. Your health is your wealth all the rest is BS.
We all do it everyone wants a better job, better car, bigger house its all part of the money game that keeps making profit for the already rich and powerful elite.
Check out crucify your culture its another song with a message regarding corporations, government and consumerism etc.. Been enjoying them all so far
Seems this went over your head.
YOU ASKED WHAT TO RAP TO OF ALL HIS SONGS RE RAP THIS .....THINK U COULD ...
Not a chance lol. This is one of a kind
You got it completely wrong.(poor reaction).
You do realize I fast forward through every time you stop it do you know how annoying that is? try watching one of your videos? I'm sure you'll agree. you're not adding to the video you're taking away from the video that he work hard to create. Selfishness Hubris? I don't know what it is
Are you having a fuckin' laugh? @DRichOffical is a reactor! He reacts to music videos! He stops the video so he can react! Which means he gives his opinion on the video! I think you've got confused with what a reaction channel does and what an artists channel does! One reacts to the song and the other doesn't! Di*ck'ed. 😂
If you want to listen to the song, listen to it on Ren’s channel. This is a reaction video.
