I ALWAYS SUBSCRIBE TO ANYONE WHO SUPPORTS REN!!! I am a 53 year old Rock and Roll girl! Ren has opened me up to so much and has renewed my love of music!
Ask any of the British invasion groups of the 60s & 70s rock n roll band that swamped America, who were you're idols, even though they were all 99% white they'd say the black Rhythm and blues bands in segregated 50s America. The UK wasnt segregated so American black music was massively popular here.
Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong Dancing cheek to cheek Classic loved by the British. My grandparents used to love jazz greats. Post ww2. The British would ignore any segregation the usa army tried to put upon them. Nope they drink in the pubs and clubs with us brits said. Having none of it, proudvof my country for that .
All of the big nightclubs in the 60s were white kids dancing to black music - my Dad was tight with the promoter at Mojo in Sheffield, one of the original soul clubs in the UK. That promoter, Peter Stringfellow went on to be a dubious character but it was one of the superclubs back in the day. The acid house scene in the UK was British in spirit but the music was straight from the warehouses in Chicago and Detroit. Trax, Underground...those labels sparked dozens of genres of iconic British music.
"UK wasn't segregated"?! Uhm... Tell that to all the brown people who not only got colonized by the brits, but also more or less lured to the UK as cheap labour. Need context? Boy, I'm here to state the facts😸 Go Google "small ax" and read up on how the white brits treated the in all fairness just as British POC. There's even a drama-series on the events that played out during the 60s and 70s called "Small Ax". If you're not the reading kind you can always watch that. Because as Bob Marley said: *if you are the big tree we are the small ax*... I wish you the best, better luck next time! 😸 /S
That's not shot in Wales btw, that's in Brighton, England. Ren was born in Wales, but moved to Brighton about 15 years ago... All the roads in the UK are pretty similar tho.
The stuff where you can see Ren is filmed in Brighton (some fans plotted the route on the "Ren's Brighton" map), but the forward-facing shots were shot in videographer Sam Perry-Falvey's hometown of Bristol. 😊
Nat King Cole had a tv show on national television. He was a huge star across the US and the world. Old white lady here and our house was filled with albums,Nat- Louis Armstrong- The Mills Brothers - Cab Calloway - Ella Fitzgerald- Dinah Washington- Then the Jazz greats too many to name ☮️
Humble is another song you guys probably would love. Murderer is his most mainstream style but fire, with a great acustic live version. Animal flow is pretty fucking sick video and its a track that my wife requests for the car. I could listen to talk radio or a lesson on music theory while driving so ill take her opinion on the cruising songs. Illest of our times is the closest to Genesis but a little more aggressive.
roads are that small because they are built on the original roads used by Romans, walking paths or old horse and cart dirt tracks. cities and towns in the UK been around for hundreds if not thousands of years so the roads are built around those existing places. America didn't exist so the roads were made at the same time as the cities that's why they are so straight and wide compared to the UK. but its really not hard to drive those roads, you just pull over and give way when there's an area to do it. no one has the right of way its just who ever is closer to an area to pull in that will give way.
Nice reaction! Would love to hear you guys react to REN, seven sins. Personally I think it’s the best track off his album and tells the story of his illness while breaking down the seven sins in a very poetic way.
When traveling from North America to Europe for the first time, one quickly realizes just how young North America really is. Many, many buildings in the UK are 500 - 1000 years old or more...so are the roads, built long before North America was "discovered".
@@AlmostJokingPod 0:30 min of the song he mention that he learned licks like John Frusciante at the same time while he played the guitar licks John Frusciante on the track. John Frusciante is a Guitarist from the Band Red hot chilli pepper.
US jazz musicians couldn’t believe when they got to France, 40s/50s that they were idolised by white folk, could check in to any hotel etc, just be treated in a proper way, that for many - even greats like Armstrong and Ellington was unknown in America. There’s a whole US history that Europeans get, and parts America won’t acknowledge. Love your reactions. 👍🏽👍
Ahhhhh i dismissed you guys talking bout rap being black in a video.... rhyming used to be called flyting, long before modern poetry and it wasn't exclusively a race thing... nothing should be a race thing! Race is a bullshit construction, ita not real! Unlike ren who is a real as it gets!
It might not be real to you but it's real to the people who have been subjected to it. Racism is all over the world but things are better today for the most part (except for the bullshit politicians who race bait). I'm Jewish and the racism is real in a similar way.
Not all of America are racist. My RENegade sisters and brothers come in all colors and I love them all. As Michael once said, we can make the world better by starting with the man in the mirror. Always be eager to help someone within your abilities - regardless of their color - and don't say things or use words you don't want others to say or use.
I hate to talk politics during a Ren reaction, but don't kid yourselves that there are no racial issues in the UK . Black and white issues may have lessened .But there are many races and ethnic groups in Britain. I don't say this to throw shade , i say it because unfortunately there is plenty of hate in the world to go around . Ren is one of those people in the world who is truly trying make things better . If our eyes are not open to the realities, we can not make changes.
I. From Canada and don't even notice race at all i don't even see color. Unless I have to compete in a track event and of course my exes new boyfriends 😂😂😂😂
The UK is no where near as Racist as America. You said it yourself America is about Race. Think about it you have African Americans, you have Irish Americans others say owe I have Scottish or English blood. In the UK were either from England so English or from Wales so Welsh or from Scotland so there Scottish no other races I have Welsh in my blood but am not English Welsh an just English.
I grew up 50+ years ago and didn’t think a thing about race. We had his records and my parents loved him, didn’t point it out that he was black (we could see it) and that it made any difference at all. Things were so much better before Obama was president.
Yo, I need to say how myself and everyone I know here in the UK feel,. Skin is skin, it comes in many colors but that's only skin deep. Everyone bleeds red. Everyone feels pain, hope and joy the same way. If you're Nat King Cole, Robert Johnson, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis, Biggie or any other G,O,A,T of the ages, you should pay the respect that they deserve. Ethnicity doesn't define greatness and it never truly has.
A lot of these streets were built before cars were invented. ;)
And double-parking is a real bugger 😅
Ya'll gotta watch Ren- Seven Sins, on of his greatest songs (in my opinion)
This was filmed in my hometown, Brighton, UK, but most of the streets in citys in the UK are pretty much like that 😀
Looks like south London to me 😎❤️💛💚🖤✊🏿🇯🇲🏴
@@nubien9definitely Brighton, I know those streets, but yeh, as I said, most cities in UK look like that
It's Bristol, Gloucester Road:

I’d like you guys to I react to seven sins. This one was great. Thanks.
Good reaction! You haven't done Murderer yet. Maybe on your next live stream. It's another one that most people like.

You two are so great to watch 👏🏼 the “dimples” had me dying!! 😆
Was filmed in Brighton ❤
You want narrow streets? Try some of the valleys in south wales. Nightmare to get through.
Hereford has some of the tightest roads I’ve ever worked on. I work all over Wales and the West England.
Ren sent me here, therefore I must subscribe... thanks for the react.
Thanks!
Thank you lovely!

That video I believe was filmed at Brighton , coastal town 🔥🇬🇧❤️
you guys have great reactions and this was no exception! Thanks!
Great reaction boys.. 👊
Great Reaction guys!!!
Good reaction ! And I really like this song
In that first verse he mentions RHCP, The sex pistols and Nat King Cole. He was dropping bombs.
Ren knows a lot about everything! Keep checking him out. 🔥 ❤

No doubt! Hate to admit it, but I did the dimple thing too! 😂
Me too
Good job guys, I really do enjoy you guys. Keep it 💯. See you next time.
The UK is nowhere near as bad as America for racism but it still exists. The roads are small because the houses were built before cars.

Yeah I unsub from all races (mostly black) who bring race into any conversation. These dudes are prejudices/ignorant. Unsubbed won't be back.
It might not be real to you but it's real to the people who have been subjected to it. Racism is all over the world but things are better today for the most part (except for the bullshit politicians who race bait). I'm Jewish and the racism is real in a similar way.
Ain't that right! Saying you're a different "race" makes you an alien.
Enjoying your reactions. Check out Ren singing -Fred again and Back in 74 and Chinchilla duets 🤌🏼Have you checked the money the Game trilogy ?🔥
Come to the uk 🇬🇧 free pints 🍺🍺🍺 waiting for you!

Class is a larger divide in the UK than race is
"Nat King Cole" is a musical reference and absolutely sod all to do with 'Black History.' When you keep on perpetuating shit it never goes away...
youre right about racism and world. f sinatra & L armstrong... its just 2 great musicians in most of europe. ✌️
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
ŔEN never misses
What You Want is his nod to the Beastie Boys...🔥🔥!!
There wernt cars when they built the roads
Having spent a good amount of time in the UK, I can say I witnessed quite a bit of racism.
Victims worry about race all the time
for the algorithm
