Ren created his #1 album as an independent artist, but then made it for sale in many different formats including download for $4.99 the lowest price possible to be still counted for charts. Wanted it to be available to everyone. His Renegades bought copies and gifted them to those still too broke. We short circuited the money game!❤
Yeah in the UK especially the big cities there’s a massive Caribbean influence stemming from the Windrush generation coming over after the war, a lot of UK rappers especially from London use patois and slang mainly from Jamaica, reggae and ska have been part of UK music for decades
I have so many reaction suggestions for you Rob, but while you're on the current rabbit hole, check out Harry Mack's tribute to Ren and/or Ren's reaction to Harry Mack's tribute to Ren. 🤘🤙✌️
The King Dotta diss is worth watching, I don't think you will be disappointed. I was very sceptical of it all at the start but Ren's retort was very Ren.
Welcome back! Just starting to watch, but to answer your question the King Dotta diss is worth watching. I'm sure other people will give you more of a rundown of how it all went down, but Ren and Dotta agreed to the diss. And yeah, Ren managed to do a great diss track and remain very true to himself. It's really cool.
@@liquorandwhoas Again, people will have a lot more to say about him than I'll get into here, but he's just a dude, making music, dissing folks. Looking at the exchange as part of the hip-hop culture is a great way to go into it. Ren agreed to it, I'm pretty sure to just show he could do it, and he managed to incorporate his culture as well. If you don't watch Dotta's first Dotta will be in your comments asking why you didn't. Heh. I will tell you that Dotta liked Ren's diss and has a lot of respect for Ren now, which he didn't really appear to before.
@@liquorandwhoas, ha, and I managed to forget to answer your question. There was likely no way you would have heard of Dotta before this. I think he had under 1000 subscribers when it all went down.
I agree with everything above. And I hope that you watch Dotta’s diss first since that is the right order. And I understand that Dotta gets disappointed, too many reaktors only watch Ren’s answer and declare that he won without giving Dotta the chans. Don’t get me wrong, Ren did win. But I’m all for hearing both sides
Get on with it ♦️♥️♣️♠️......do it.... Humble ft Eden Nash...LA here come the unstable... Barrington Levy....dre the next episode ft snoopp dogg... love music 🍀and where was Al capon incasirated..... The Rock
I misheard the same line as you did. But my interpretation on it was ”I walk alone, sit upon the water throne and if you want it ...” I thought, well I also like to go alone and I wont give it up till I'm done 😂
Water throne 😂 When I first heard Jenny and screech, I heard Ren call screech a 40 yr old instead of a 14 yr old. I kept thinking why are the cops saying a boy is running at him when he is 40 yrs old. I didn't have the lyrics back then, was new to youtube.
I went through your Ren playlist, and did not find The Big Push War Pigs. Man, if you have not seen that one, please consider it, as a rock-head guitar-playing man I'm sure you'll enjoy it
Man going back to school at 45 inspiring dude. I'm in I.T. ... successful but it offers no sense of purpose or value, you're just a cog in the machine. I've been wanting to go back to school but for some reason I keep feeling like what's the point I'm 40? Guys like you wake me the fuck up haha
Bro - it may just be a week in - but I can only encourage ANYONE who is unhappy and contemplating these thoughts to GO FOR IT. My dad used to say "How are you gonna score if you don't shoot?!" and I guess he's right. Life is too short to spend half of it (the working days) unhappy and miserable. So I'd say: GO FOR IT, man. And if it fails: at least you won't have to always ask yourself "what if?".
@@liquorandwhoas way to go, both of you! I did it at 37, and getting ready to do it again. Found some study a while ago which claimed people should go for a different profession every 10 yrs or so, to give ourselves the opportunity to explore our potential in at least 3 areas we find interesting, because boxing ourselves into doing just one thing ends up sucking the life out of us. And also... I find it a lot easier the second time, less stressful and easier to link new things with what i already know. And it lifted my spirit also, to be doing something new.
Suggestion: Check out more of Chinchilla. Authentic, Empowering, Unique, Thought Provoking - As Ren has said, she is his female counterpart. She is empowering to men and women. Instead of the traditional, "I'm better than that," or "I wouldn't ever get hurt,"-she presents an authentic path, "I f**ked up, I got hurt, I learned from it." Songs: All of them, but start with any from the last year, or "Fingers Live" and next "Fingers official video" -PS Some vocal professionals have said that she may be the best singer today.
It was suggested by another reacter that the inspiration for the beginning of Murderer was from 'World a Reggae (Out in the Street They Call It Murder)', though you did mention that.
I can feel your excitement/enthusiasm towards your new adventures coming through. I am experiencing a similar reboot along with a lifelong friend. At 57, we're both being molded into this new life due to health issues and a vehicle accident. What could have been the beginning of a downward spiral brought us closer and became a newfound freedom rather than a disability. I know I mentioned this in your last posts comments, but it's so good to have you back. I've missed the banter and bonding over the love of good music and the intelligence that you tackle it with. Looking forward to your next drop AND that day in the future when we have that "cola" face to face. 🍻🤘🤙✌️
I enjoy this version so much. He was in my knowlage at this time recording in holidays in the US (but I heard later as well UK..so i'm not 100% sure where he exactly was).
Sooo good to see your face pop up in my feed again! I'm mad TH-cam didn't let me know you did Money Game 3 yesterday, but I'm going to go watch that one next. Looking forward to watching you catch up on all the juicy Ren content that's come out since Murderer. The King Dotta diss is good fun, I would make sure to give a cursory listen to Dotta's original diss (Kingdom Come) beforehand because Ren's response uses references from it. Some other extra content that would be fun to check out other than the songs off the album would be his video called 'Eden' (not really a song, but good thought provoking content. It was the finale of a 2 week long AR game he put on for the release of the album), his One Million Subscribers video, and 'Ren - Spontaneous Stream Jam' uploaded by Hexenkind1. Also, Harry Mack did a tribute to Ren you should definitely check out. Ren reacted to it on his alternate channel 'RenMakesStuff'. I knew you'd love this track, it's one of my favorites of his recent content. That's LA in the background, and I believe the audio was a one take with some spliced in B Roll footage from after the shoot once it was dark. As always really enjoyed the gems you dropped about music production and history along the way. Congrats on going back to school, that's exciting and you seem happier! Ironically I'm at a similar spot in my life, I'm preparing to leave my career as a designer and go back to school to be a therapist for many of the same reasons you gave. Money Game 3 really gave me a push in that direction, actually. The grind of corporate greed is exhausting and soul sucking to be a part of day in and day out. It's exciting to have a new direction in life!
Great job brother. Caught the Dre beat immediately! Very few catch it at all much less so quickly. Btw, as far as for that "mistake or self congratulations"? during that solo, you said it reminded you of the roaring 20's to 40's music, or cabaret. I found it very reminiscent of the the playing style of possibly the greatest guitarist of all time Django Reinhardt, who in a line in "The Hunger" he calls out and who was such a huge star in Paris during those same years. Once again, great to have you back. Big ups from Humboldt County
Great to have you back Rob!! As you are into Ska/Punk, have you heard anything by Beat The Red Light or Redeemon?? The lead singer/Trombonist is a mate of mine!!
Ive always heard music in the same way as you do. Being very hard of hearing until i got digital hearing aids in my 40s, (I'm now 70) I'm hearing it all anew through Bluetooth in my aids and only now are the lyrics clear. The sound is most important.
I think you will be pleasantly surprised by the way Ren turned the script on the typical 'diss' tradition. So, even if you don't do a reaction, I recommend you give his response to K.Dotta a listen...

This was filmed in Los Angeles, hence the homage to Dre.
Ahhhhh! THAT makes sense! Thx, fam!
The Guitar solo is heavily inspired by Django Reinhardt's "Minor Swing", so your 1920s French Jazz note is right on.
Yeah in the UK especially the big cities there’s a massive Caribbean influence stemming from the Windrush generation coming over after the war, a lot of UK rappers especially from London use patois and slang mainly from Jamaica, reggae and ska have been part of UK music for decades
This one and Seven Sins are my favorites.
The Diss is a must watch😂

But...
Must watch right to the end (the music reminds us where we are... *Savage* !)
This performance is awesome, Ren is astounding!!
I love the subtle differences he brings to his acoustic treatments. It was filmed in LA when he had a break from treatment .
Welcome back! Just starting to watch, but to answer your question the King Dotta diss is worth watching. I'm sure other people will give you more of a rundown of how it all went down, but Ren and Dotta agreed to the diss. And yeah, Ren managed to do a great diss track and remain very true to himself.

Gotcha - but WHO IS this ominous "King Dotta"? Should one have heard of him?

The solo starts Bluesy but get's into Django Reinhardt territory pretty quick. Ren likes Django.
Was I just "mentioned in despatches" re MG3?
"Laughed out loud!!"???
Welcome back! 🙏 wishing you all good things in 2024❤ great reaction 🎉
You're the first reactor to pick up on the Inokomoze reference and I was so stoked to hear you make it.
I went through your Ren playlist, and did not find The Big Push War Pigs.

Yes!! Chinchiilla is amazing.
I love the acoustic version. Fire. 🔥🔥🔥
This was recorded in the San Gabriel hills in LA California.
Ren got the murderer section from Barrington Levy - murderer, filmed in Cali the Dre section was to celebrate 50 years of hip hop.
You also hear it in the Jamrock busking session ( where Ren almost passes out).
#RenMakesMusic #Ren 🔥🔥!! 🌎🧡
❤️🫶❤ you know I'm here for you and #Ren always
Much love, girl! I know you're still on track and I tip my hat HARD to that!
Love it… glad again to see you! ⭐️🎶⭐️

Glad your back😊
Again, so happy to have you back! Lovely reaction and can't wait for more from you.
I recommend to watch Ren's 1 million subscriber speech if you haven't seen it.
Nice! Looks like Canada to me too. Its the palm trees that give it away.

The solo was pure Django Reinheardt
Thank you for one of the deepest understandings of this performance. Please ditch the noisemaker. 😊❤😂
Great reaction! I love this version better than the produced version.
Have you checked out Coast Contra yet? I believe they are here to save hip=hop!
Viel Erfolg und Spass mit der Zweitausbildung! Schreiner ist ein genialer Beruf :)
Seen this video like 15 times + never noticed that medical strap.
Yes definitely check out Rens dis and the one knox did his stan retake is 🔥 so good
Los Angeles
Great to have you back Rob!!
As you are into Ska/Punk, have you heard anything by Beat The Red Light or Redeemon?? The lead singer/Trombonist is a mate of mine!!

The other guitarist is James Marino, a Los Angeles session musician who has toured with some big acts.
It's Los Angeles
Brandy with coke? Subbed for more Ren and ones you have done 👍🏻
Where the F did you go man! I missed you! Cheers from Sevierville, Tn, USA
I think you will be pleasantly surprised by the way Ren turned the script on the typical 'diss' tradition. So, even if you don't do a reaction, I recommend you give his response to K.Dotta a listen...
The king dotta is worth reacting even if it's a side step, you'll enjoy it , it's as a good message
mjau
Just noticed this looks like he still has on his medical strap if you have ever gone to hospital they keep that on so hopefully no miss hapes.
wow 9 minutes to start 🤨 nice reaction once it does playout though
The diss requires watching Knox's responses to get the entire context. Ren's response is last.
