@@tesskennedy4959 your last sentence seems incomplete. not sure what "tech person" or "algorithmic expert" have to do with this.

So yes: they will continue to provoke thought each -- for 10 to 15 minutes... then people move on to the next thing... IMHO. I love Ren and he IS a great inspiration for me (making music again after decades) but virtually none of my (very diverse) peers _relate_ to Ren's subjects or musical style(s) let alone care for his life story. I don't know what they hear and feel in music when they listen to music. Maybe it's just pretty noise to them poor souls... I should probably ask them one day. There's one single other musician among my friends that appreciates Ren's *art*, *musical craft* and *the messages*, another hates the Hiphop and Rap and prefers the songs of TBP, but they're just "another good Rock Band" to her.
REN - when you said you didn't have the answers but we did - the collective mind - I finally got it. It may sound glib or superficial but it is not - it is utterly profound. We don't need you, or anyone else, to tell us what to do; we need each other.
I'm well on my way to being a cynical old man but your heart on your sleeve, beautiful messages reaching so many and the community and movement you're creating is about the only thing giving me hope these days Ren. Thank you. Long may you reign
After the emotional turmoil of the treasure hunt life stream and the Money Game 3 drop, that stream really pushed me over the emotional edge. Being an empath is a blessing and a curse. I've never been as emotionally triggered as much as I have been tonight. You feel so deeply and it's flowing out of you. Thank you for your art 🖤
I thought the money game you created was going to be like Violet’s riddles, then I found out money was involved and I started to see discrepancies between different people. Honestly I didn’t participate because I was and felt alone and this was meant for many people working together, so I silently watched from the distance. When I saw the ending of the money game I was angry, for me that money, that piece of paper, meant a possibility, meant food, meant a roof, for many who doesn’t have it. Still, I was seeing your point, I did understood where you were coming from and I shared your values, but I felt extremely conflicted between both ends, I felt uncomfortable for a while until you went live on twitch. Then you explained yourself, and even if I was still conflicted by my own thoughts I understood better the whole view, nothing that I didn’t knew before, but yet I found more clarity. Basically, what I want to say, is that you have a beautiful way to create discomfort. A magnificent way to express yourself and make others come together to see and feel shit that we already knew was there but in such a way that makes us feel more empowered, more capable and hopefully more willing to take a step and change. I think this and other subjects you talk about are so important, we need to discuss and debate, listen and be heard. We need to come together and change before it’s too late. I’ve said it a thousand times, what you do goes beyond music, beyond art. I’m so fucking glad I found you. And as always 10/10 song and video, probably my favourite video so far. Love you Ren💕
Ren you are amazing. This subject is so frustrating because it seems that the answer is right in front of everyone. And so many won't take that path. Never apologize for your feelings and frustrations ❤️ This is SO important and YOU are making a change!
Ren, you made me cry ugly tears three times today. Nonetheless, this was an amazing journey, and I’m excited for the album tomorrow! Congratulations to you and the whole team for pulling it off perfectly. The impact you are making is huge; we're all very proud to witness your mind at work. Thank you for an amazing night, and I hope you can get some rest after all this chaos ✌️❤️
Your an amazing human being Ren with a heart of gold and a passion for things that really matter. Keep being you always, Your a shining star mate You make me smile 😊
What incredible words you have to share, as always. And in its own way seeing you cry is very humbling. Not many are willing to show their emotions while also having these kinds of conversations, if they have these conversations at all. If we were to all come together in ways that you have proven can be done, we really could change the world. Love you Ren. Keep up everything you do, keep changing lives, and of course keep your health up 💚
The ending to your live treasure hunt was so so beautiful, truthful and intelligently portrayed. Your passion for a better tomorrow is inspiring. You are magical! Big up yourself!
Dear Ren, thank you for being you and making this phenomenal stuff. You are the one and only artist that can touch my soul. With your deep thoughts, your meaningful but catchy af music, your one of a kind artistry, your cheeky and loving personality you make me feel again. I mean REALLY feel! You make me love, you make me angry, you make me sad, you make me happy, you make me thoughtful, you make me thankful ... A real rollercoaster of emotions. I really feel alive again. Thank you! ❤❤❤❤❤
Ren, when I listen to you, in your songs or your spoken word and to my children (about your age) - then I have the belief that perhaps these problems can be solved after all. I have been desperate so many times in my life and felt misunderstood and accused because I represent exactly these theses that you now express through your art. I am grateful for my socially critical and empathetic children and I thank you for bringing this thinking to the outside world. Thank you very much - very much👏👏👏🤝👍 one of many mothers With my warmest regards from Germany 🎼👀🙋♀️
Enjoyed this, my first twitch stream. Kind of like the fireworks at the end of a carnival, what with money game and the other money game. Both freaking GENIUS by the way. As many others have already said, never apologise for getting emotional - it shows how passionate you are about your work, and the topics that drive it ❤
Ren keep being real. Your tears show our youth that showing emotions is a strength not a weakness. I have bipolar and am a sxcuide survivor. I also lost a soulmate to jumping 80ft off a building. Losing him forces me to never try again. After experiencing the devestation of loosing someone there is no way I could put others through that hell. You and your team are frigging amazing! Don't ever sell out and loose yourself!
Love you Ren. You are wise, insightful, passionate and very knowledgeable. No need to apologise for your passion. Especially when you’ve been creating ground breaking art on the topic. I was blown away by MG3…. Thank you for your genius and pioneering spirit 🔥♥️
Long live this emerging philosopher king. I am so proud to bear witness to this young man’s historic journey. This is greatness unfolding. This is what beloved looks like. And it makes me cry.
This was amazing. I would have died wondering what was in that second suitcase had they not gone through with burning the first one! Was thrilled they did it. I was so happy with the ending. Money isn't "it". This perfectly illustrated your point in this whole money game. Just genius Ren, amazing. I have so much respect for your ideas, music, art and the way you're putting it all out there and putting yourself all out there. These values you promote are some I hold dearly in my heart and I hope we can make the future a better place together ♡
This was a really special stream. I loved it and I love how deeply you feel your feelings. You are a great artist (and an even lovelier human being).❤❤
During the last 7 months. You have been the single one person, who has brought me to tears the most times. I ressonate so deeply with your "philosophy" and worldview. I really really hope, that you'll never stop preaching what you do. The world needs to hear it. We all need to remember it. We are in this together
I love money game 3 so much. It was incredible and it felt like I was watching a movie. It gave me Eyes wide shot vibes. I love all the new songs on the album. Uninvited is so much fun! Made me feel young and want to go out and be spontaneous like that but I’m too scared. I love you Ren and your beautiful heart makes me want to hug you and protect you. Your vulnerability makes such a connection to who understands it. ❤️❤️
I’m the same way when sleep deprived, emotions right on the surface. It shows how much you care about what you’re doing, as if there was any doubt! All I can say is thank you for marshalling your life force in this intentional creative way, through all the pain and obstacles. What you’re making really is something special to see and feel a part of. The money game collaborative experience challenged me and I dare say will change me for the better in how I interact with the world, if I let it and don’t forget it.
Just YES! Tears & Love 💖 Confronting, passionate, real, raw, insanely clever, incredibly simple, twistedly complicated, precipice standing... ?What?... Parable? Allegory? ?What? Does it even have a label?! Does it even need a label?! Mind f*cking blown brother. Thank you Ren and Sam, Vik and the crew just effing wow 👌 🌏🌱💚🌳🍃 👫🍎 🆓🐳 ☮️
I already love the new song you surprise us with here! The violins mixed with your voice are fantastic! ♥️ Thanks for the sneak prewiev 🤩 and great twitch stream, I appreciate your honesty and naturalness! ♥️
You are so intellectually stimulating, Ren. I think the biggest reason that you are reaching so many people right now, on a bigger picture than just amazing music and artistry, is the fact that you make people think and empathize.
You need to reach the masses for nothing else than to spread the word good sir. You are the leader we need. You ask the questions that open up the mind and bring us all together.
So proud of you Ren!! Wish so much I could have caught this twitch stream live but too busy chasing my own Money Game at work today… well, I work for Special Education so not that much money, 🫤but it pays the bills and can be rewarding. Your video was EPIC!! You and Sam really outdid yourselves this time! ♥️🐷💸 I hope you can slow down a bit after your album drops tomorrow. Take care of that 👂 😢 Wish you had people there to take care of you. Sucks to be so far from home for so long. Sending cyber hugs and ear drops. ❤
Keep feeling Ren, keep thinking, keep creating. You are a shining example of someone who is here for a reason and is living up to their destiny. Your words resonate, completely. Sleep deprivation or not...I hear you and agree whole heartedly. You are not alone ❤
"suits you sir" only some uk viewers would get that..but altogether the video and attention to detail were above and beyond every little detail draws you in..and then it unfolds..grand piano and a grand masterpiece.never stop !!
I love the points you are trying to make here and with the money game project as a whole. I belong to an offroad vehicle recovery facebook group in southern California. Thousands of people belong to the group and anyone can post a request for help on there when they break down or get stuck. One of the founding principles of the group is that no money is ever to be requested for the sevice we provide. At first the justification is that we will all be in the situation of needing help at some point, but seeing the shock, confusion, and finally appreciation on their face when they realize they aren't going to be taken advantage of in their vulnerable position like they expected is enough for me to keep doing it.
Bless ... I am so happy to see this here. And yes, Love your passion - hope you get to come down a bit and get some good rest here very soon. So so grateful for all that you have done for us and for sharing this journey with the world! We will never heal if we don't acknowledge the wounds in the world. Rain Rain Rain
I love that about the accent thingy!!! I’m from the south and I try to talk like you and my family and friends all laugh at me and say well bless your heart honey!!! 😂 MG3 was outstanding and you deserve an Oscar, Tony and Grammy for that magnificent work of art you shared with the universe! I know you’ll never read this but I still have to put it out there and maybe by chance someday you’ll glance over it and if you do please know you’ve changed my life for the better and I dearly love you my friend! ❤
Thank you for being who you are and spreading love. You are making such a huge impact. You ARE doing special things with your life and the world is a better place for hearing your voice.
I got my Sick Boi cd last week, put it immediately in my car cd player, and listened to a few tracks before work. When I started up my car at the end of a long day and Ren came on I thought “Oh my Goodness they’re playing Ren now on American radio stations!” then I realized it was the cd 😂❤
Your amazing heart shows through in everything that you do. You brought me to tears so many times today and I just wanted to hug you. You are wise beyond your years and are an inspiration every day. You inspire me to be better, to do better. Much love to you Ren ❤❤❤
Microscopically departing from "one take" to preserve the piece as a whole was the right choice. You put art before ego right when tempted. Luv ya Bruv.
Im so happy to see this! And to have been part of this journey! Laughs, tears, smiles and love. Today... actual the last 2 weeks have been a fricken journey! Please don't apologise for caring. More people need to care! You are challenging people to open their eyes and think critically and the world needs more of that, asking with some action! Thank you! ❤
I loved the ending of the game and I love the choice that was made... because we all know, inherently what is the right thing to do. We've been taught and conditioned to ignore that knowledge. I think that's the at least part of the point that Ren was trying to make. We know what we need to do. Do we have the courage to do it? I truly hope so. That's a world that I would like to see.
Well we’re doing a lot better with you in our lives REN, Money Game 3 was absolutely brilliant. I believe you should be shown in schools. Love you man❤
That game was so neat! The story line and watching it play out. But this whole project was such a trip. Definitely inspiring. The lessons learned and also seeing people from different platforms come together was lovely. I have so much I could say but I’m sure with all the amazing people you have in your circle it wouldn’t be anything you hadn’t heard before. ❤️
You are amazing and your passion is inspiring and contagious. You are lighting candles instead of screaming at the darkness. You are guiding ppl to look and see. Love you and your heart! Keep that passion, keep that internal drive and you will inspire people everywhere. I never understood why they researched things like pig orgasms and pour money into protesting other people's genitals and sexual practices instead of maybe putting that hate and effort to fix the health care system. To research chronic pain disorders. To find a way to help people deal with 24/7 pain and acceptance and tricks to handle it. Or to educate others on invisible illness and empathy. Especially empathy. Sorry for the rant. Truly you are a gem and a priceless gift to this world. So much love ❤️ Cheers, 'Nixy
The whole thing has been fascinating! I am excited to get my CD, had the email to say it's been shipped, soooo... :D Woohoo. You are such a fun and refreshing change, I'm happy to be a RENagade. :D
I missed the live stream so I'm so thankful that you posted this! I look forward to more content in the future. This was such an original way to get people thinking. Great job all around and also a fantastic job on Sick Boi! ☺️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💕🎊🎈🎉
I could go on and on but I too haven't had much sleep. So I'll keep it short. YOU ARE AMAZING!!!! A blessing in this crazy world. You're touching people's lives and hearts. Mine included. Also your views or beliefs are spot on, in my opinion. The needs of the many🖖
Thank you for the game, for the fun 2 weeks, for making a community, for your music, for the motivation and inspiration you give, for being an educator!
(psa: I'm really sorry for the chapter of a book, I have many rabbit holes in my own brain already 🤣) (psa2: Ren you're amazing, keep creating, music, videos, games, whatever the fuck you want! This was bloody brilliant, and yes I'm brazilian writing in english with a british accent, sue me 🤸🏻♀️🤸🏻♀️🤣) First of all, a giant hug to the whole team that created and managed this entire game/event/therapy😂. It was brilliant. I had so much fun, and I went slightly crazier and I kinda wanna *choke* ren and jake but in a wholesome way. This week was chaos and I live for it. I hope you someday feel safe in your our own community to understand you weren't crying alone ='). The whole... topic, and everything else. Intense and real. No apologies necessary, but I get it, we feel like we need to apologize for everything, it sucks. But you don't, k? ^~^ The whole process was taxing by itself, and then the reason for it all, why you wanted this theme, the reactions for this topic. Tears were dropped around the world, we're united in that. You created and fostered a beautiful community that I'm so very glad to have found along with your music. People I can call friends without, in my head, correct it to "maybe possible friend" due to trusting issues 🤸🏻♀️ Shit happens. I'm just glad to be part of the Renegades, and proud to say I'm your fan. Unfortunately not many artists I can say that about nowadays. Thank you. MG3, wtf? You said you made all the melodies, strings and all, absurd!!!!! My body has physical reactions to certain notes or instrumentals or vocals, and every fucking song I've heard fucks me up, in the best of ways. But this one? Maybe it has the "I was in the game" lenses, but that song is an entire masterpiece. The perfect balance, as always, of raw material and adding insane production without removing the rawness. Sorcery I say! The silences were *chef kiss* perfection. It made me feel in a theater watching a play in 3 acts. But everything is cohese and connected. And the throwbacks from violet, mg1 and mg2 (i assume violet cause of last year's arg for her tale), broke my heart in such a beautiful way. The story, the message, the way you storytell with lyrics, not just bars bars, but poetry, and how you deliver the words, the cadence of them, the placement and timing, how strong or soft it's sung/said. Just genius, man. I have no idea how you do it, but boy am I glad you do it! You storytell like a singer and an actor baby's child, best way I can explain. And when you come back from the music zone, you're a down to earth nice guy who just wants an unstable emo tattooed girl 🤣. I don't know if you found the balance between art and humanity and that's why everything is so good and relatable (personally speaking), but something's up there that not everyone has. And the new song? Miss me with that shit!!! What the actual fuck was that? That alone was lifechanging. My entire body was encapsulated and I have no idea how to explain THAT particular feeling to people who don't have this disorder/whatever, maybe like a bath of your own tears, with bubbles, and blackjack, and hookers. Sorry. For real, not like the brain hug, more like a brain scratch. The instrumental is ridiculous, fuck the fuck off. The cadence of the percussion (did it go through a mixer, does it have some sort of electro effect? Dunno if it's my ears, the strings sound crystal clear, and the percussion sounds "glitchy" but intentionally. There's texture to your songs. Again, no clue how you and others mix and produce your stuff, but is smooth af! The transitions of melodies and instrumentals and how it matches your voice and your cadence. The mix of the high strings and the acoustic raw almost percussion-like and then BAM, BAM BAM, fuck man. Really? Why? The silence and the whisper/throwback/homage to sick boi, instrumentals coming back as you keep talk-rapping-singing, in perfect synch, stronger and on a higher note, matching the more emotional/angry texture. Cadence up, strings less clear, angrier, percussion clearer and stronger and faster, piano follows sandwiched but still very much present. Adding elements and layers, then removing them, piano goes, screech/devil/shadow vocal texture, layers of vocals on the back (of course you'd do that ❤️). The high pitch almost breaking, as if playing in anger. The rap and cuts on the vocals and melody with an accent of percussion. The drop and the comeback. So different but mashed so well with the first part, like a crescendo for something, and Ren just annihilating with the lyrics while the instrumentals and melody changes altogether. My possibly ADHD brain was very very very comfortable in that headspace. When the strings came back at Sloth, agh. Just *sigh* fuck. After Greed just fuck off. So intense. It literally disrupts my body, again, in a great way. And just drops. End. Bye. So cruel. So perfect. Fuck you, I love you and your brain and ears and vocal cords and hands and humanity, humility, anarchy, having your opinions and still accepting others' and welcoming change. For real. Thank you for your artistry and your humanity. I'm way too nihilistic, I'm already grieving the future, but your music, and your community, dunno man, there may be something to this whole humanity thing ^~^. Much love from Brazil and this chaotic brazilian who is still thinking about fucking samsara, binaries, medieval slippers, Shakespeare, the bible (can't complain about that, is kinda cool seeing it through this lenses, as an agnostic myself) and goddamn toblerone 🤦🏻♀️ Love you, love you team, love you rencord and all socials with renegades. It was an honor to be part of this magical adventure. And may Ren never speak to us again cause he'll be too busy winning emmys, cheers 🥂
And by the way, I so dig your music! I dance like a fiend to it, look up lyrics, and attempt to sing and rap with it. You are blessed! I went crazy the first time Animal Flow hit me in the face. I have yet to hear any of the Money Games. So that's the next thing. Keep us poppin!
This is the most brilliant piece of art I've ever witnessed. 3 is the quintessential grand finale, perfectly led into by the Livestream and preceding games, and previous money game songs and videos. I'm blown the f away, and unabashedly in love with your art, and your heart.
Ren, you're such a beautiful soul! Never EVER apologize for having so much love for people in your heart! You're literally changing the world into a better place this very minute! I feel so privileged to be sharing the same time in the world with you and your friends/team members!❤❤❤
😂😅 I love the name of your new channel! And every day of my life, i appreciate highly to be born in this era for having this amazing philo-musical experience since i had encounter your creations. Thank you for your so intelligent and important fights! I'm working each days with little children (0-5 years old) and their families and each day of my life is a part of this fights of yours. So, be assured that those fights are becoming OUR fights, with an increase number of people who are also fighting to create new structures and stopped to fight against the old ones. I firmly believe that I am and still going to change the world because i touched so many people with my ideas and my solutions to be able to stop using and care about those méga ancient economical and social structures. I'm 59 years old, and I was always like I am now. Never stopped to believe that those changes are coming! So, beautiful camarade, all hopes are permitted! (sorry for my bizarre english, i'm french and still learn your language! Take care my dear! I beleive in you!!! You are an absolute blessing for our era! ❤❤❤
Hi Ren. I have to say I first was very confused with this "money game" you started. I came to peace with it all at the end because I now understand so much clearly what your message is. Your voice is a great one to listen to, obviously not talking about you vocals only. Thank you for the message you carry around and share in such a clear and perfect way. You calm my spirit when it comes to the world situation, it is priceless in itself. Please go on, thank you for all you are and have the balls to be.
Ren - don’t ever stop or apologize for being passionate about what you do and your beliefs. They come from a genuine place. And the way you transform these ideas and ideals into art is such a gift. You are also building and cultivating a community that has the power to transform the world. You guided us through exercises that demonstrated the power of collective intelligence. We love you Ren ❤
I think Canadians are rubbing off on him... Sorry I said that! ;P

This entire Money Game project is brilliant. This is going to provoke thought and conversation for years to come. Well done.
I'd like to agree yet I'm also afraid it'll also disappear in the "next news cycle" for too many people.

Just received the download for your album too, nice one 👍

Loved the last couple of weeks, damn the time difference, this sick gurl missed it all live, but thanks for putting the streams up!!! 💖💖💖

He's a clever little bugger !
From another cynical person who is getting older too. Take care mate.
@@elenawilliams32an example of the community already 🙏 Thank you. You too ✌️
After the emotional turmoil of the treasure hunt life stream and the Money Game 3 drop, that stream really pushed me over the emotional edge.
Being an empath is a blessing and a curse. I've never been as emotionally triggered as much as I have been tonight.
You feel so deeply and it's flowing out of you.
Thank you for your art 🖤
Yes ❤
Me too!
So you feel that too? I am SO skeptical of people rapidly gaining fame, but, my gut says Ren is genuine.

Seeing musicians livestream is always a new experience. Seeing the art is great, but so is seeing the artist.
Its actually nice to know you cry over the same things I do and the same way. You're genuine and please never stop being you. ❤
Oh Ren, so passionate about this! Thank you for using your platform to educate xx

And as always 10/10 song and video, probably my favourite video so far.
Love you Ren💕
Ren makes us uncomfortable enough to think, to have a conversation with ourselves, and with others. He pulls people together....its quite unique...
I doubt that it was real £££ as its difficult to burn, and even if you did, you could take the embers to a bank, and they would reimburse
@@MariaSookias-b1u it wasn’t real money (Ren talked about it on the stream) but still that was my first reaction about it

Not many are willing to show their emotions while also having these kinds of conversations, if they have these conversations at all. If we were to all come together in ways that you have proven can be done, we really could change the world. Love you Ren. Keep up everything you do, keep changing lives, and of course keep your health up 💚
I love and appreciate how Genuine you are REN ..no need to apologize for your reactions and emotions to serious topics that affect our daily lives ❤
The ending to your live treasure hunt was so so beautiful, truthful and intelligently portrayed. Your passion for a better tomorrow is inspiring. You are magical! Big up yourself!
God I love him! Such a personal connection with his fans, it’s incredible.
That is a big part of his success, I don't think there has ever been an artist that works so hard at engaging and interacting with their fanbase.
@@TeresaFloweryagreed it really gets you rooting for him ❤
Dear Ren, thank you for being you and making this phenomenal stuff. You are the one and only artist that can touch my soul. With your deep thoughts, your meaningful but catchy af music, your one of a kind artistry, your cheeky and loving personality you make me feel again. I mean REALLY feel! You make me love, you make me angry, you make me sad, you make me happy, you make me thoughtful, you make me thankful ... A real rollercoaster of emotions. I really feel alive again. Thank you! ❤❤❤❤❤
Ren, when I listen to you, in your songs or your spoken word and to my children (about your age) - then I have the belief that perhaps these problems can be solved after all. I have been desperate so many times in my life and felt misunderstood and accused because I represent exactly these theses that you now express through your art. I am grateful for my socially critical and empathetic children and I thank you for bringing this thinking to the outside world. Thank you very much - very much👏👏👏🤝👍
one of many mothers
With my warmest regards from Germany 🎼👀🙋♀️
Enjoyed this, my first twitch stream. Kind of like the fireworks at the end of a carnival, what with money game and the other money game. Both freaking GENIUS by the way.
As many others have already said, never apologise for getting emotional - it shows how passionate you are about your work, and the topics that drive it ❤
Ren keep being real. Your tears show our youth that showing emotions is a strength not a weakness. I have bipolar and am a sxcuide survivor. I also lost a soulmate to jumping 80ft off a building. Losing him forces me to never try again. After experiencing the devestation of loosing someone there is no way I could put others through that hell. You and your team are frigging amazing! Don't ever sell out and loose yourself!
Love you Ren. You are wise, insightful, passionate and very knowledgeable. No need to apologise for your passion. Especially when you’ve been creating ground breaking art on the topic. I was blown away by MG3…. Thank you for your genius and pioneering spirit 🔥♥️
Long live this emerging philosopher king. I am so proud to bear witness to this young man’s historic journey.
This is greatness unfolding. This is what beloved looks like.
And it makes me cry.
Thank you for making stuff Ren. All the stuff. ! Appreciate you Human 🎉🙏💜
This was amazing. I would have died wondering what was in that second suitcase had they not gone through with burning the first one! Was thrilled they did it. I was so happy with the ending. Money isn't "it". This perfectly illustrated your point in this whole money game. Just genius Ren, amazing. I have so much respect for your ideas, music, art and the way you're putting it all out there and putting yourself all out there. These values you promote are some I hold dearly in my heart and I hope we can make the future a better place together ♡
Everything about the past week has been magical ❤ You are appreciated, Ren.
This was a really special stream. I loved it and I love how deeply you feel your feelings. You are a great artist (and an even lovelier human being).❤❤
yassss!!! I wanted to see parts of this again...I could go without seeing you cry. Hope you're feeling as proud of yourself as you should be. ❤❤❤
Thanks Ren🙏 for posting these twitch streams for us oldies who might be signed up to Twitch & Discord but are too befuddled navigate 😅
💯
During the last 7 months.
You have been the single one person, who has brought me to tears the most times.
I ressonate so deeply with your "philosophy" and worldview.
I really really hope, that you'll never stop preaching what you do.
The world needs to hear it.
We all need to remember it.
We are in this together
thank you all, ren and the gang, u guys are life changing
I love money game 3 so much. It was incredible and it felt like I was watching a movie. It gave me Eyes wide shot vibes. I love all the new songs on the album. Uninvited is so much fun! Made me feel young and want to go out and be spontaneous like that but I’m too scared. I love you Ren and your beautiful heart makes me want to hug you and protect you. Your vulnerability makes such a connection to who understands it. ❤️❤️
Ren my dearest boy. Please keep a posse of protection around your being!!! Spiritual self as well.
I’m the same way when sleep deprived, emotions right on the surface. It shows how much you care about what you’re doing, as if there was any doubt! All I can say is thank you for marshalling your life force in this intentional creative way, through all the pain and obstacles. What you’re making really is something special to see and feel a part of. The money game collaborative experience challenged me and I dare say will change me for the better in how I interact with the world, if I let it and don’t forget it.
Just YES! Tears & Love 💖 Confronting, passionate, real, raw, insanely clever, incredibly simple, twistedly complicated, precipice standing... ?What?...
Parable? Allegory? ?What?
Does it even have a label?!
Does it even need a label?!
Mind f*cking blown brother.
Thank you Ren and Sam, Vik and the crew just effing wow 👌 🌏🌱💚🌳🍃
👫🍎
🆓🐳
☮️
Ren, we are going to be ok. Only if you never change and keep on doing what you think is best❤️🙏 We love you for you!
I cried watching this. Thank you for being a REAL BEAUTIFUL human. 💜
Life has given me so many “good times” w/o money 💴. Money means nothing to me! Money is another form of division. Wake up folks 😢
I already love the new song you surprise us with here! The violins mixed with your voice are fantastic! ♥️ Thanks for the sneak prewiev 🤩 and great twitch stream, I appreciate your honesty and naturalness! ♥️
It’s not money that people in need want it’s community that comes together and so there should be nobody in need!
You are so intellectually stimulating, Ren. I think the biggest reason that you are reaching so many people right now, on a bigger picture than just amazing music and artistry, is the fact that you make people think and empathize.
You need to reach the masses for nothing else than to spread the word good sir. You are the leader we need. You ask the questions that open up the mind and bring us all together.
So proud of you Ren!! Wish so much I could have caught this twitch stream live but too busy chasing my own Money Game at work today… well, I work for Special Education so not that much money, 🫤but it pays the bills and can be rewarding. Your video was EPIC!! You and Sam really outdid yourselves this time! ♥️🐷💸 I hope you can slow down a bit after your album drops tomorrow. Take care of that 👂 😢 Wish you had people there to take care of you. Sucks to be so far from home for so long. Sending cyber hugs and ear drops. ❤
All the stuff! MG3 was incredible. Ren I feel excited and hopeful about the album release. Feel better soon.
MG3 was f*cking brilliant! Pure art!!
Keep feeling Ren, keep thinking, keep creating. You are a shining example of someone who is here for a reason and is living up to their destiny. Your words resonate, completely. Sleep deprivation or not...I hear you and agree whole heartedly. You are not alone ❤
"suits you sir" only some uk viewers would get that..but altogether the video and attention to detail were above and beyond every little detail draws you in..and then it unfolds..grand piano and a grand masterpiece.never stop !!
Classic! “Suits you sir” was actually based on a tailors in Brighton (you might already know that piece of useless info)
I love the points you are trying to make here and with the money game project as a whole.
I belong to an offroad vehicle recovery facebook group in southern California. Thousands of people belong to the group and anyone can post a request for help on there when they break down or get stuck.
One of the founding principles of the group is that no money is ever to be requested for the sevice we provide.
At first the justification is that we will all be in the situation of needing help at some point, but seeing the shock, confusion, and finally appreciation on their face when they realize they aren't going to be taken advantage of in their vulnerable position like they expected is enough for me to keep doing it.
Bless ... I am so happy to see this here. And yes, Love your passion - hope you get to come down a bit and get some good rest here very soon. So so grateful for all that you have done for us and for sharing this journey with the world! We will never heal if we don't acknowledge the wounds in the world.
Rain Rain Rain
Thanks for making this channel you need some where to put all your awesome art pieces ❤❤❤
Sending love from Springfield, Illinois!! ❤ Love you Ren! 🎉 -Another INFJ
Chitown here! ...Ren...what a gift!! 😁
I love that about the accent thingy!!! I’m from the south and I try to talk like you and my family and friends all laugh at me and say well bless your heart honey!!! 😂 MG3 was outstanding and you deserve an Oscar, Tony and Grammy for that magnificent work of art you shared with the universe! I know you’ll never read this but I still have to put it out there and maybe by chance someday you’ll glance over it and if you do please know you’ve changed my life for the better and I dearly love you my friend! ❤
Thank you for making stuff 💛
Thank you for being who you are and spreading love. You are making such a huge impact. You ARE doing special things with your life and the world is a better place for hearing your voice.
Well done mate for bringing people together and spreading happiness ❤️
I got my Sick Boi cd last week, put it immediately in my car cd player, and listened to a few tracks before work. When I started up my car at the end of a long day and Ren came on I thought “Oh my Goodness they’re playing Ren now on American radio stations!” then I realized it was the cd 😂❤
Oh yea! Keep the suits coming! You look quite delicious in a suit 😂
Found my way over here without any clues.
Your amazing heart shows through in everything that you do. You brought me to tears so many times today and I just wanted to hug you. You are wise beyond your years and are an inspiration every day. You inspire me to be better, to do better. Much love to you Ren ❤❤❤
Just bought the album. Going to go to bed now and listen to it. Absolute excited! 🤗
Microscopically departing from "one take" to preserve the piece as a whole was the right choice. You put art before ego right when tempted. Luv ya Bruv.
Im so happy to see this! And to have been part of this journey! Laughs, tears, smiles and love. Today... actual the last 2 weeks have been a fricken journey! Please don't apologise for caring. More people need to care! You are challenging people to open their eyes and think critically and the world needs more of that, asking with some action! Thank you! ❤
I appreciate that you show us the stressed/normal stuff going on in the background.
I loved the ending of the game and I love the choice that was made... because we all know, inherently what is the right thing to do. We've been taught and conditioned to ignore that knowledge. I think that's the at least part of the point that Ren was trying to make. We know what we need to do. Do we have the courage to do it? I truly hope so. That's a world that I would like to see.
Oh Ren, You're the treasure!
What you’ve done, just wow 🔥
You should be so proud 👏
Thank you for sharing your gift with us!
Awesome, im so glad to be able to revisit this!
Well we’re doing a lot better with you in our lives REN, Money Game 3 was absolutely brilliant. I believe you should be shown in schools.
Love you man❤
That game was so neat! The story line and watching it play out. But this whole project was such a trip. Definitely inspiring. The lessons learned and also seeing people from different platforms come together was lovely. I have so much I could say but I’m sure with all the amazing people you have in your circle it wouldn’t be anything you hadn’t heard before. ❤️
All things you are making, is amazing stuff.
A lot with a message....... i love it ❤
You are amazing and your passion is inspiring and contagious. You are lighting candles instead of screaming at the darkness. You are guiding ppl to look and see.
Love you and your heart! Keep that passion, keep that internal drive and you will inspire people everywhere.
I never understood why they researched things like pig orgasms and pour money into protesting other people's genitals and sexual practices instead of maybe putting that hate and effort to fix the health care system. To research chronic pain disorders. To find a way to help people deal with 24/7 pain and acceptance and tricks to handle it. Or to educate others on invisible illness and empathy. Especially empathy.
Sorry for the rant. Truly you are a gem and a priceless gift to this world.
So much love ❤️
Cheers,
'Nixy
The whole thing has been fascinating! I am excited to get my CD, had the email to say it's been shipped, soooo... :D Woohoo. You are such a fun and refreshing change, I'm happy to be a RENagade. :D
Thank you for making a channel for those of us not on twitch
I missed the live stream so I'm so thankful that you posted this!
I look forward to more content in the future.
This was such an original way to get people thinking.
Great job all around and also a fantastic job on Sick Boi! ☺️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💕🎊🎈🎉
The 10-minute rant from 04:12 should be shown in schools 💖 What a beautiful human being Ren is
Collective community is what we need......😊
There is much to learn on our own, with and from each other. The emotional reaction is normal. You worked hard and so few learned, enough yet.
I could go on and on but I too haven't had much sleep. So I'll keep it short. YOU ARE AMAZING!!!! A blessing in this crazy world. You're touching people's lives and hearts. Mine included. Also your views or beliefs are spot on, in my opinion. The needs of the many🖖
Thank you for the game, for the fun 2 weeks, for making a community, for your music, for the motivation and inspiration you give, for being an educator!
From one Ren to another the Money 🤑 Game 🎮 trilogy is lava. Liquid 🔥 fire.
(psa: I'm really sorry for the chapter of a book, I have many rabbit holes in my own brain already 🤣)
(psa2: Ren you're amazing, keep creating, music, videos, games, whatever the fuck you want! This was bloody brilliant, and yes I'm brazilian writing in english with a british accent, sue me 🤸🏻♀️🤸🏻♀️🤣)
First of all, a giant hug to the whole team that created and managed this entire game/event/therapy😂. It was brilliant. I had so much fun, and I went slightly crazier and I kinda wanna *choke* ren and jake but in a wholesome way. This week was chaos and I live for it.
I hope you someday feel safe in your our own community to understand you weren't crying alone ='). The whole... topic, and everything else. Intense and real. No apologies necessary, but I get it, we feel like we need to apologize for everything, it sucks. But you don't, k? ^~^ The whole process was taxing by itself, and then the reason for it all, why you wanted this theme, the reactions for this topic. Tears were dropped around the world, we're united in that. You created and fostered a beautiful community that I'm so very glad to have found along with your music. People I can call friends without, in my head, correct it to "maybe possible friend" due to trusting issues 🤸🏻♀️ Shit happens. I'm just glad to be part of the Renegades, and proud to say I'm your fan. Unfortunately not many artists I can say that about nowadays. Thank you.
MG3, wtf? You said you made all the melodies, strings and all, absurd!!!!! My body has physical reactions to certain notes or instrumentals or vocals, and every fucking song I've heard fucks me up, in the best of ways. But this one? Maybe it has the "I was in the game" lenses, but that song is an entire masterpiece. The perfect balance, as always, of raw material and adding insane production without removing the rawness. Sorcery I say! The silences were *chef kiss* perfection. It made me feel in a theater watching a play in 3 acts. But everything is cohese and connected. And the throwbacks from violet, mg1 and mg2 (i assume violet cause of last year's arg for her tale), broke my heart in such a beautiful way. The story, the message, the way you storytell with lyrics, not just bars bars, but poetry, and how you deliver the words, the cadence of them, the placement and timing, how strong or soft it's sung/said. Just genius, man. I have no idea how you do it, but boy am I glad you do it! You storytell like a singer and an actor baby's child, best way I can explain. And when you come back from the music zone, you're a down to earth nice guy who just wants an unstable emo tattooed girl 🤣. I don't know if you found the balance between art and humanity and that's why everything is so good and relatable (personally speaking), but something's up there that not everyone has.
And the new song? Miss me with that shit!!! What the actual fuck was that? That alone was lifechanging. My entire body was encapsulated and I have no idea how to explain THAT particular feeling to people who don't have this disorder/whatever, maybe like a bath of your own tears, with bubbles, and blackjack, and hookers. Sorry. For real, not like the brain hug, more like a brain scratch. The instrumental is ridiculous, fuck the fuck off. The cadence of the percussion (did it go through a mixer, does it have some sort of electro effect? Dunno if it's my ears, the strings sound crystal clear, and the percussion sounds "glitchy" but intentionally. There's texture to your songs. Again, no clue how you and others mix and produce your stuff, but is smooth af! The transitions of melodies and instrumentals and how it matches your voice and your cadence. The mix of the high strings and the acoustic raw almost percussion-like and then BAM, BAM BAM, fuck man. Really? Why? The silence and the whisper/throwback/homage to sick boi, instrumentals coming back as you keep talk-rapping-singing, in perfect synch, stronger and on a higher note, matching the more emotional/angry texture. Cadence up, strings less clear, angrier, percussion clearer and stronger and faster, piano follows sandwiched but still very much present. Adding elements and layers, then removing them, piano goes, screech/devil/shadow vocal texture, layers of vocals on the back (of course you'd do that ❤️). The high pitch almost breaking, as if playing in anger. The rap and cuts on the vocals and melody with an accent of percussion. The drop and the comeback. So different but mashed so well with the first part, like a crescendo for something, and Ren just annihilating with the lyrics while the instrumentals and melody changes altogether. My possibly ADHD brain was very very very comfortable in that headspace. When the strings came back at Sloth, agh. Just *sigh* fuck. After Greed just fuck off. So intense. It literally disrupts my body, again, in a great way. And just drops. End. Bye. So cruel. So perfect.
Fuck you, I love you and your brain and ears and vocal cords and hands and humanity, humility, anarchy, having your opinions and still accepting others' and welcoming change. For real. Thank you for your artistry and your humanity. I'm way too nihilistic, I'm already grieving the future, but your music, and your community, dunno man, there may be something to this whole humanity thing ^~^.
Much love from Brazil and this chaotic brazilian who is still thinking about fucking samsara, binaries, medieval slippers, Shakespeare, the bible (can't complain about that, is kinda cool seeing it through this lenses, as an agnostic myself) and goddamn toblerone 🤦🏻♀️ Love you, love you team, love you rencord and all socials with renegades. It was an honor to be part of this magical adventure. And may Ren never speak to us again cause he'll be too busy winning emmys, cheers 🥂
I enjoy the bold metaphor of the burning of money and your discussion here. Thank you Ren. I appreciate your passion and the points you made.
And by the way, I so dig your music! I dance like a fiend to it, look up lyrics, and attempt to sing and rap with it. You are blessed! I went crazy the first time Animal Flow hit me in the face. I have yet to hear any of the Money Games. So that's the next thing.
Keep us poppin!
I like every song you do! You're one of a kind! Money game ❤❤
I am so thankful to be living thru all of this.
Ren is beloved. I pledge to him my eyes and ears and heart and soul.
Where he leads, I will follow.
Thank you ren ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ love what you do. I have learned to much from you and your music
This is the most brilliant piece of art I've ever witnessed. 3 is the quintessential grand finale, perfectly led into by the Livestream and preceding games, and previous money game songs and videos. I'm blown the f away, and unabashedly in love with your art, and your heart.
You’re so switched on , what a boiii ! ❤
Ahhh love it... seven sins.. so excited for the cd bundle to arrive..
Love you mate❤ thank you❤
Ren, you're such a beautiful soul! Never EVER apologize for having so much love for people in your heart! You're literally changing the world into a better place this very minute! I feel so privileged to be sharing the same time in the world with you and your friends/team members!❤❤❤
I feel that you are an amazing young man.. so much talent, and above all, lot of humility and love.. l certainly like your energy and intelligent..
😂😅 I love the name of your new channel! And every day of my life, i appreciate highly to be born in this era for having this amazing philo-musical experience since i had encounter your creations. Thank you for your so intelligent and important fights! I'm working each days with little children (0-5 years old) and their families and each day of my life is a part of this fights of yours. So, be assured that those fights are becoming OUR fights, with an increase number of people who are also fighting to create new structures and stopped to fight against the old ones. I firmly believe that I am and still going to change the world because i touched so many people with my ideas and my solutions to be able to stop using and care about those méga ancient economical and social structures. I'm 59 years old, and I was always like I am now. Never stopped to believe that those changes are coming! So, beautiful camarade, all hopes are permitted! (sorry for my bizarre english, i'm french and still learn your language! Take care my dear! I beleive in you!!! You are an absolute blessing for our era! ❤❤❤
Hi Ren. I have to say I first was very confused with this "money game" you started. I came to peace with it all at the end because I now understand so much clearly what your message is. Your voice is a great one to listen to, obviously not talking about you vocals only. Thank you for the message you carry around and share in such a clear and perfect way. You calm my spirit when it comes to the world situation, it is priceless in itself. Please go on, thank you for all you are and have the balls to be.
Congratulations Ren!!! MG 3 is🔥🔥
Was here for the live just commenting for the new channel. Amazing song.
Thanks for the amazing ride over the last two weeks.
And congratulations on your number 1 album in New Zealand (and some other countries).
Ren your heart is so beautiful. Your compassion and empathy are a painful necessity. Don’t apologize for giving a shit. You’re changing the world. 💜😊💜
Amen Ren, your so very passionate and heartfelt . Love Your till the END MATE🏆💞🤟🏻🙏🏼✌🏼 PRAYERS FOR A MIRACULOUS HEALING MATE.
Thank you for this channel. ❤❤❤
