These comments aren’t it. Why are people so judgmental when they don’t even know them. Great reaction, I’ve subscribed and off to watch all of your Ren reactions.
@@ROMsquadI'm sorry for the negativity but the guy in this vid just needs to stop talking. He proper ruined it. You could see the emotional reaction from the girl but the guy looked as thick as a brick.
I generally find It’s best to not get caught up in how other people should do things. Life is so much simpler and peaceful when I just let humans be humans.
Bri really gets this song... He really doesnt... you can see it on their faces. I think Bri needs to rewatch this with him and explain some of the things that he missed. He even looked at her once and said "did you get that" the look that she gave him was priceless. lol
Lmao right?! Every time he told her something that wasn’t her opinion she was like a brick wall. Pay attention to the lady sir, she had some insight in there dyiiiiiiing to break free
She really do, even right at the start she could tell where this was going. Some of us are just more sensitive than others for many various reasons. I have still not been able to watch this masterful art without starting to cry / tears falling. But i have the luxury of being able to fully immerse myself in what music and true artistry has to offer. I can tell just from this reaction that BRI is most likely a very kind, sensitive, confident and beautiful soul.
Yes!! This one definitely hit me in a personal way ❤ it took everything in me not to ugly cry on camera that's for sure his words and voice Truly amazing
I loved watching Bri, she really understood the depth of this song. I understand her reaction, mine was similar - except I was unable to STOP crying. I had to watch it several times before I could finally suck it up. Great follow ups to this: 1. Sick Boi (it is a continuation of Hi Ren - same set dressing); 2. Loosing it (great flex song, just plain fun, shows his rapping ability); 3. Power (more info about his life and SUCH a vibe - actually lifts you up); 4. The Hunger (just plain dope). Welcome to the Ren Rabbit Hole Family, friends. All positivity in his corner of the internet.
I'm glad you did this one... it's where most people start and it lets you know he's not really in a genre. He has video's that are deep, dark, heartbreaking, inspiring, funny, and just really creative. He has songs that you play at the gym to pump up, songs that you sing in the car, songs that you listen to in the dark... You never know what it'll be except amazing.
Arright, brother. I have to bust you on this...at the end you were like, "That was mad deep. What are your thoughts?" Her: "That was emotional." You: "That's all you got?", as if it was a worse reaction than, "That was mad deep." LOL. Love that you checked Ren out. Subbed!
You subbed based on this video? This is hands down the worst reaction i've seen on this song all because of this moron. He should probably stick to reacting to dumbass gangsta rap or something.
please stop being condecsening to the lady she know more than you think , for one she exibited all the classic markers of knowing what he is singing about , heres an example ,when Ren starts singing your lady bites her lip , classic , look at any Ren Hi Ren reaction and the body language doesnt lie .
Brother, I’ve been on the Ren ride for 5 or 6 months now. I had forgotten about you until you popped up with that Masochist reaction. I’m really excited to watch you guys fall down the Ren rabbit hole. It’s deep and has many, many layers. The man is beyond talented. He is a multi instrumentalist, he produces his own beats, writes his own music, directs these amazing videos and acts out his lyrics. A lyricist with his pen and can basically do any genre of music. He can sing it or rap it with the top level of artists. I know this is a lot, but I don’t believe I covered very thing this guy can do. Enjoy, because I’m gonna enjoy watching every one of your reactions to Ren.
I’ve been here since January and I’m someone that has little stretches of obsessive that I thoroughly enjoy, but they rarely last longer than 2 or 3 months. I’ve just given up on wondering when this is going to end.
Usually I hate a menu that’s too big, I get overwhelmed because I don’t want to order the wrong thing. Good news though! Everything in the restaurant of Ren is fucking delicious
All his Love Music’s are fire (1-4) but they each bring something different to the table.. you also get to see his growth as an artist as 1 was made +- 9 years ago, 2 +-7, 3 about 4 years ago and 4 dropped in the last month. 1 is a vibe, 2 has a crazy Bond scheme, 3 is just crazy and 4 is just amazing and different… I think it’s a pretty cool journey to take.. jmo 😋😁
This entire reaction video is one person understanding the assignment....and the other trying to sound like they understand the assignment. @@_Common_Logic_
For REN, this was truly his reality. Ren had misdiagnosed Lyme disease for 7 years by conventional doctors who deemed him mentally ill, but when patients are experiencing neurological symptoms, they very often become misdiagnosed. Lyme disease can present itself as many neurological conditions including Acute Transverse Myelitis[3], Ptosis[4], Seizures, and Chronic Fatigue[1] and these symptoms can be often misdiagnosed or deemed psychosomatic. Second is dealing with the symptoms of Lyme neuroborreliosis, these neurological symptoms often leave patients feeling drained and debilitated as they begin losing their quality of life. Over time, patients find themselves unable to do the things they love as they struggle to get ahead of their progressing symptoms.
Yes... Welcome to the RENaissance!!! Y'all gonna get TONS of recommendations! All will be Great! As All his work! Just be prepared to Constantly be mind Blown!!! He's a multi-instrumentalist... who crosses Genres with ease!!! Mastering Allnof them! From Hard Rap, to Pop, to Reggae, to Bardcore, to Rock!!! For the little Lady... I recommend Murderer from him, followed by the acoustic version! Then on... be amazed by any random track from him!!!
This song definitely hit homegirl hard... its ok to cry little sis, tears cleanse the soul. And here we're all family... we got you. So adjust your crown and stand tall cause your a queen.
Finally you did Hi Ren..I enjoyed your reaction with Bri..Thank you for droppin this early😊I know you love rap so i think SickBoi is definitely next good one to react from Ren..
Ren is on another level bro. Every genre... He produces his own beats/music.. comes up with the concepts for all the videos. Unbelievable talent. Pulling himself through his ongoing illness to create music for himself and us!
can't wait till y'all dive into the rest of his catalog, Check out "The Hunger" or "Ocean" for some impressive rapping, flow switches, cadences, metaphors, doubles, the whole shebang. but literally any song'll do, he gets into just about every genre so be ready none of his songs sound the same, they all got their own flava. oh and he makes all his own beats and most of his vids are 1 take. oh and go buy his album drops oct 13 i think
I’ve stopped crying until one of them does. Still can’t make it through a suicide reaction without having a super cathartic ugly cry and I’m totally okay with that.
I agree with MONEY GAME PT. 1, but the algorithm for some reason has recently been suggesting MONEY GAME PT. 2 (LIVE) as the follow up. DO NOT DO THAT ONE NEXT (although feel free to react to it after you've heard the (OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO)) as it's only 1/3 of the entire song with no music. React to MONEY GAME PT 2 (OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO) as the follow up. That version includes the entire song with music.
Oh man 5.31 in I just wanted to dive through the screen and give her a huge hug. Iv gone down the rabbit hole over the last 5/6 days and watched 30/40 reactions to this video and you duck have had the most row and real one yet. I was the same duck. Much love guys keep up the good work and I hope you find the happiness we all look for. Much love from the UK XXXXXX
Here is some additional information on Ren's story that I gathered from old newspaper interviews, articles, and Ren's public livestreams and posts. A handful of people frequently post an earlier version of my comment to various reactions that they copied and pasted verbatim, so if this is a repeat just ignore this comment. I keep editing the information, as needed, and have removed details about Ren that some found to be too personal, such as his full name and D.O.B. All the information here was gathered exclusively from sources Ren personally approved for public release. Ren is a Welsh musician/independent artist/producer, self-taught multi-instrumentalist. He pursued a career in music from an early age. In 2009, while studying music performance at Bath Spa University, Ren began to experience health issues and was struggling to attend his lectures, which eventually caused him to discontinue his studies and return home. In addition, Ren was signed by Sony Records in 2010 and was working on an album when his health deteriorated to the point that he was unable to go on; consequently, his contract with Sony was dissolved. Ren would later relocate to Brighton. Ren's illness often kept him in bed for up to 23 hours daily. Ren was initially misdiagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder, and chronic fatigue syndrome, which led him to experience psychosis and develop PTSD. It would take seven years before a doctor in Belgium finally correctly diagnosed Ren with autoimmunity, Lyme disease, and resulting damage to the brain, organs, joints, and PTSD. Ren eventually underwent stem cell therapy in the United States, which improved his health, but it has not been a cure. Ren is in Calgary, Canada for at least six months (Summer of 2023), undergoing treatments such as IV therapy and other interventions five days a week, as well as surgeries (wisdom tooth removal and cavitation surgery). His Canadian doctor discovered that Ren also developed a condition called Mast Cell Activation Disorder (MCAD), which has affected the myelin sheath in his brain, his thyroid, and adrenals as well as his bones/joints. Hence, Ren is receiving additional treatments for this previously undiagnosed condition. He recently took a break from treatments and returned to the UK to visit family and friends, and to produce some very ambitious musical projects to be released soon. Let's keep supporting Ren as he undergoes his treatments. Check out and subscribe to his channel; if you are a content creator, ask your audience to subscribe to Ren. Ren's YT channel just surpassed 1 million subscribers. and his videos have garnered millions and millions of views. Listen to some of his earlier work, like and comment on his performances, and let's lift Ren's spirits. If you are a believer, pray for him. Ren is an artist with something to say to the world, and his work is important in these troubling times. Someone has finally created a Wikipedia page for Ren, so there is additional information available.
I just found you and subbed right away. Really looking forward to your next step down the Ren journey. This is definitely MORE than a song. It is truly a work of art.
“Sick boi” uses the same set and gives a bit more context to his journey. If you want more surprises check out “the tale of Jenny and screech” or he has a huge rap catalogue. I’m sure anything you watch will be entertaining - he’s so different
Ren is the Best rapper and story teller out there no one can hold a candle to him !!!!! Jenny and Screech and Violates Tale is fire and than Animal Flow !!!!
Task for Bri... Watch this back and count every time you talk over her, interupt her, explain things to her that she clearly understands already. Then please learn from that and give her space to express herself.
@@Cabiriad brilliant? Again, it’s a fun song, but let’s chill on the hyperbole “Cum twice bustin’ a nut you can’t fake it” “I’m very very good, it’s good, it’s big in the hood, it’s big like a bear, a bear in the woods” Wow this is next level shit man
This is the kind of artistry that gives "broken" people hope. Ren, through this performance piece, has become to a lot of people exactly what he stated in the song, "...the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope". So powerful, so impactful. The song structure itself is incredible. It starts off as a battle between his positive (Angel) and negative (Demon) aspects, the negative then makes an overpowering last ditch effort to reign supreme, tearing free and trying to take control, but ultimately fails as the final act, being the "God" aspect, emerges Triumphant, though still acknowledging and accepting that it will ALWAYS be a battle because we are all "a coin with 2 different sides". It's a beautifully cathartic and raw musical masterpiece. Ren is truly special. Welcome to the Ren rabbit-hole, it's a trip worth taking. This was the 4th take he did and yes, it was done live. Wait until you hear some of his other stuff, especially his storytelling ("The Tale of Jenny & Screech"). You haven't even touched the breadth of this young man's talent yet. The pig character (imo) represents the doctors and therapist who have essentially butchered him for years through their misdiagnosis. It's the system that focuses on peddling more pills than on genuinely trying to help to fix broken/ill people, caring more about profit than individual health. The bastardization of the hippocratic oath. He literally thought he was going insane because he was told repeatedly that the pain and symptoms he was experiencing were all in his head (psychosomatic). He had reached a point where he literally resigned himself to dying before he reached 30. Turns out he had Lyme's disease the whole time and it ran rampant through his system for 10 years, even to the point of causing brain damage. Ironically, if Ren hadn't gone through what he has, would he have ever made the art he has? There's no question that his suffering has shaped his music and now he's finally getting the recognition he undoubtedly deserves. I've said it before, I'll say it again, Ren is special.
That 'loosen the noose...' line gets me every time, similarly in Chalk Outlines with '...standing on my toes so I can breathe', two simple lines but so profound in their meaning and as you say, so relatable for many people.
Ive prob watched a hundred different reactions to "Hi Ren", and Brie is only the second one to recognize the Eminem melody in the very beginning. Cool ;-) Enjoyed your reaction & love Ren ❤ New sub
So great seeing a new channel reaction, just subbed as I want more.... there are 200 videos including The Big Push ( the man he is in ) , I would go Chalk Outline Live with Chinchilla ( must be Live ) , if you want rap, Losing it or the Hunger! If you like Reggae, the LIVE version of " I Shot The Sheriff/ Road to Zion/Hip Hop as it is a classic!
Common Stages of Reaction for the song 'Hi Ren' by Ren: This looks creepy. Pig mask, ha. Guitar sounds nice. Nylon strings. Oh he’s singing. Falsetto. I did not expect that. Will the whole song be like this? Okay, he’s rapping now. Cool. He's good. Has anyone noticed he looks like Tommy Shelby? This guy is scary. Now he seems nice. Oh I see what he’s doing. This is interesting, it's like Eminem or Plan B. This is intense. Time has lost its meaning. The mean guy is a jerk. This is INTENSE! Make it stop, I need to cry a bit. I haven’t blinked or taken a breath in four minutes. OMG THERE GOES THE 4TH WALL!!! How did he know what I was thinking? YES! You tell him Ren. You are a genius! Okay, scary just guy got way scarier. (You didn't know it was the devil, you would have dressed properly.) The hopium arrives and I'm so here for it. 'Loosen the noose on the rope'. ... HOLY SHITBALLS HE CAN SING!!! Damn, he can really sing. OOO-OO-OO-OO-OO-... (your head bobs, tears in your eyes, you get it now) I need some time to be still, wait there's more? He's talking now and peering into my soul. I was not expecting to feel this much. That was the longest nine minutes that has ever passed instantly. (you sit in deafening silence as you contemplate existence) "Good art makes you think about the art, great art makes you think about your life."
This was pure genius, from the one take video, the lyrics, down to the level of relateability to anyone who still battles with or who has struggled with mental disorders.
I've probably reacted and watched to reactions to this performance about 50 times, and I'm sure this one is among the top 10, at the very least. Above all because you visibly pondered (in real time, as a first reaction) without pausing that much. Also, the dynamic was very cool, like: He: ...like... you got that? She: yeah, sure I did (way before you, my guy) I have to say that that Eastern-looking gaze pierces like a bullet. Great reaction, hope to see more of you guys regardless of the content.
I listened to this song today for the first time and have gone through all reactions I found. The amazing thing is that it seems to strike the same nerve in everyone I have watched. Your reaction was wonderful.
Hi'ya ROM, to the rest of your viewers Hi'yall New to your channel. Hi Ren , Was MASTERFUL I would consider it ART ! I have never seen anyone speak about mental illness, or portray a vision of mental illness / split personality that leaves you with a complete understanding of what is going on inside the mind. One has to wonder how frustrating it must be for the people who have these illnesses to explain this experience not only to Doctor's But the Judicial System .They are mocked in court or called crazy . Or they are not believed it all. I can't credit this man enough. I hope everybody sees "HI Ren" Doctor's, Judge's, Prosecutors & Defense Attorneys, Friends, Family, more importantly ,Our EDUCATORS. ( It's the vessel that could change the WORLD 🌎 The way we see it & how we act on It ) This should be produced in every Language. Lisa
Dude I hope you have that woman a huge hug and cooked up some food. Like her emotions flowing through parts of that song say loads and coke I don’t know you but them emotions say it all
You have to check lut Love Music parts 1,2,3 and 4. Oceans, Humble, Chalk Outlines, Money Game 1 and 2, Hold On, Losing It, Domino's, and so much more. He is the diverse artist out there. And he goes deep
It's hard to tell you what Ren track to check out next, but id suggest "how to be me" live with chinchilla. Then, "losing it". Then, him busking (live performances) with his band, "the big push".... so many genres. Id also read up on his background to get a feel for who he is. (Misdiagnosed lymes disease, almost died from it. Best friend took his own life, lost a record deal because of health, went independent, now blowing up and getting healthy). Really a sad but beautiful tale.
New drinking game, take a shot everytime he says "Know what I mean", after this video most of use are dead lol. Seriously thank you for reacting to this great performance :)
Great reaction! The sound is one live take ( he used the 3rd or 4th take). Take a look at REN’s “The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full)” trilogy - 3 live takes, by the way. Do not split them up, trust me.
Just discovered you guys. Loving your reactions to the genius that is Ren. You should cover Chalk Outlines with Chinchilla next. Guaranteed tears in the eyes for sure!!
Aye Love you both. Great on you!. Next Do "Ren Muderer official video and Murderer Accustic" both together in the same video. That will trip your minds and get your subs and views up a lot. Than do chalk outlines LIVE! and then a great one for Bri is "Ren - Dominoes (Official Lyric Video)" Than Ren Ren - Money Game (Official Music Video) and Ren - Money Game Part 2 (Official Lyric Video) Together in one video. then "Ren - Illest Of Our Time (Official Music Video)" than "Ren - Animal Flow (Official Music Video) and Ren - Animal Flow (Live Acoustic Video) in one video. Then "Ren - Power (Official Music Video)" Al so many more!! Ren Has so many songs and not one is bad. P.S Don't Listen to the songs before. HAHA Thanks
His band is great too the big push they were street performers they did a cover of sting English man in New York and I shot the sheriff,road to Zion ,hip hop mash up definitely check it out worth it
Straight man comment. I like a guy who is really in touch with the emotional content and really understands it but looks like he could destroy me physically in less than 10 seconds. Props.
These comments aren’t it. Why are people so judgmental when they don’t even know them. Great reaction, I’ve subscribed and off to watch all of your Ren reactions.
Thank you fam we appreciate you you love and respect
yeah! i was thinking, hey! give the brother a chance, not all is instant : ))
great reaction both of you.
namaste
@@ROMsquadI'm sorry for the negativity but the guy in this vid just needs to stop talking. He proper ruined it.
You could see the emotional reaction from the girl but the guy looked as thick as a brick.
@@Sean-pm2vd maybe because he has adhd he explains that in most vids
@@passionatedexth I've adhd. That's not a reason.
Anyone feel like she's that one that should be pausing and asking him "Did you get that?" She clearly gets it bruh.
You had the same impression I did. He seems to think he has to explain it to her. He doesn't.
I generally find It’s best to not get caught up in how other people should do things. Life is so much simpler and peaceful when I just let humans be humans.

too many interruptions. he doesn't have to explain every verse.
@@Hobodeluxe960 he essentially killed this vid by stopping and spewing mansplaining pablum. ugh
The girl with you just fell in love with Ren before our very eyes 😜
How she struggled with her emotions and impressions....💖
She soaked it all up, and he just threw it all out.
Yeah very interesting how it affected them individually. Bri was very much caught up in the message and identifying with it. Bri didn't need words.
Yes!! This one definitely hit me in a personal way ❤ it took everything in me not to ugly cry on camera that's for sure his words and voice Truly amazing

Ren is like the greatest restaurant with so many flavours both separate and fused. He does everything!! Anything you choose from Ren will be awesome.
Couldn't agree more! From what I'm seeing
This is the truth. You can’t go wrong with Ren
Truth. Nobody Like The Ren. Ren is still freaking me the fck out. reminds me of Prince and so many other greats and his Bob marley and right on spot.
Usually I hate a menu that’s too big, I get overwhelmed because I don’t want to order the wrong thing. Good news though! Everything in the restaurant of Ren is fucking delicious
He has no filler music. None. Every thing he has put out has been another magic trick. ❤
This crazy, I left your channel on Tom and came back to Ren, in real life and on here. Sweet👁
I was going to suggest this one too❤️ happy to finally watch with y'all. This is the artist brain in my opinion. Love music 3 is 🎶❤️🎶👍
All his Love Music’s are fire (1-4) but they each bring something different to the table.. you also get to see his growth as an artist as 1 was made +- 9 years ago, 2 +-7, 3 about 4 years ago and 4 dropped in the last month. 1 is a vibe, 2 has a crazy Bond scheme, 3 is just crazy and 4 is just amazing and different… I think it’s a pretty cool journey to take.. jmo 😋😁

The look on her face during the periods of mansplaining…. 🤣

Yes... Welcome to the RENaissance!!!
Y'all gonna get TONS of recommendations!
All will be Great! As All his work! Just be prepared to Constantly be mind Blown!!!
He's a multi-instrumentalist... who crosses Genres with ease!!! Mastering Allnof them! From Hard Rap, to Pop, to Reggae, to Bardcore, to Rock!!!
For the little Lady... I recommend Murderer from him, followed by the acoustic version!
Then on... be amazed by any random track from him!!!
A good follow up to this one would be Ren's "Sick Boi". It gives you a bit more of his story. Plus, it's got a sick beat.
Love watching Ren newbies get blown away ❤
This song definitely hit homegirl hard... its ok to cry little sis, tears cleanse the soul. And here we're all family... we got you. So adjust your crown and stand tall cause your a queen.
You are amazing.. I appreciate you and your kind words ❤
Finally you did Hi Ren..I enjoyed your reaction with Bri..Thank you for droppin this early😊I know you love rap so i think SickBoi is definitely next good one to react from Ren..
Ren is on another level bro. Every genre... He produces his own beats/music.. comes up with the concepts for all the videos. Unbelievable talent. Pulling himself through his ongoing illness to create music for himself and us!
I don’t think you got it at all but you could tell Bri did. I think everybody wanted you to be quiet during the video, including her.
You speak over and control, this beautiful lady.
can't wait till y'all dive into the rest of his catalog, Check out "The Hunger" or "Ocean" for some impressive rapping, flow switches, cadences, metaphors, doubles, the whole shebang. but literally any song'll do, he gets into just about every genre so be ready none of his songs sound the same, they all got their own flava. oh and he makes all his own beats and most of his vids are 1 take. oh and go buy his album drops oct 13 i think
Thanks fam you been with me for a minute I appreciate you always coming through love and respect I’ll get to all of his music he is different
I watch every Hi Ren reaction I find... Hundreds by now. I still cry every time!
I’ve stopped crying until one of them does. Still can’t make it through a suicide reaction without having a super cathartic ugly cry and I’m totally okay with that.
Same. Still get chills every time he stands to "sing from the top of his lungs."
SAME
Ren should make an album titled, “I wasn’t expecting that”.
😂🤣💯💯💯
I feel like she understood the song better than he did lol. And no, it is not a play, that is his real life story.
So glad you decided to check out more Ren. Enjoy the journey. ❤❤🔥🔥 Be sure to check out Money Game Part 1 & 2 before Part 3 is released on 10/12.😊
I agree with MONEY GAME PT. 1, but the algorithm for some reason has recently been suggesting MONEY GAME PT. 2 (LIVE) as the follow up.

Here is some additional information on Ren's story that I gathered from old newspaper interviews, articles, and Ren's public livestreams and posts. A handful of people frequently post an earlier version of my comment to various reactions that they copied and pasted verbatim, so if this is a repeat just ignore this comment. I keep editing the information, as needed, and have removed details about Ren that some found to be too personal, such as his full name and D.O.B. All the information here was gathered exclusively from sources Ren personally approved for public release.
Ren is a Welsh musician/independent artist/producer, self-taught multi-instrumentalist. He pursued a career in music from an early age. In 2009, while studying music performance at Bath Spa University, Ren began to experience health issues and was struggling to attend his lectures, which eventually caused him to discontinue his studies and return home. In addition, Ren was signed by Sony Records in 2010 and was working on an album when his health deteriorated to the point that he was unable to go on; consequently, his contract with Sony was dissolved. Ren would later relocate to Brighton.
Ren's illness often kept him in bed for up to 23 hours daily. Ren was initially misdiagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder, and chronic fatigue syndrome, which led him to experience psychosis and develop PTSD. It would take seven years before a doctor in Belgium finally correctly diagnosed Ren with autoimmunity, Lyme disease, and resulting damage to the brain, organs, joints, and PTSD. Ren eventually underwent stem cell therapy in the United States, which improved his health, but it has not been a cure.
Ren is in Calgary, Canada for at least six months (Summer of 2023), undergoing treatments such as IV therapy and other interventions five days a week, as well as surgeries (wisdom tooth removal and cavitation surgery). His Canadian doctor discovered that Ren also developed a condition called Mast Cell Activation Disorder (MCAD), which has affected the myelin sheath in his brain, his thyroid, and adrenals as well as his bones/joints. Hence, Ren is receiving additional treatments for this previously undiagnosed condition. He recently took a break from treatments and returned to the UK to visit family and friends, and to produce some very ambitious musical projects to be released soon.
Let's keep supporting Ren as he undergoes his treatments. Check out and subscribe to his channel; if you are a content creator, ask your audience to subscribe to Ren. Ren's YT channel just surpassed 1 million subscribers. and his videos have garnered millions and millions of views. Listen to some of his earlier work, like and comment on his performances, and let's lift Ren's spirits. If you are a believer, pray for him. Ren is an artist with something to say to the world, and his work is important in these troubling times. Someone has finally created a Wikipedia page for Ren, so there is additional information available.
Hi Jens! 👋
She totally gets it..her eyes tell all.
she does she broke down after the video this one really hit
@@ROMsquad Tell her welcome to our little club over here with Ren. Looking forward to your next reaction!
I just found you and subbed right away.
Really looking forward to your next step down the Ren journey.
This is definitely MORE than a song.
It is truly a work of art.
Oh yea I definitely agree a perfect piece of art ❤
“Sick boi” uses the same set and gives a bit more context to his journey. If you want more surprises check out “the tale of Jenny and screech” or he has a huge rap catalogue. I’m sure anything you watch will be entertaining - he’s so different
Ren is the Best rapper and story teller out there no one can hold a candle to him !!!!! Jenny and Screech and Violates Tale is fire and than Animal Flow !!!!
Your beautiful face was an epic picture. Thank you, everyone got you....
Thank you so much ❤
Task for Bri...
Watch this back and count every time you talk over her, interupt her, explain things to her that she clearly understands already.
Then please learn from that and give her space to express herself.
LOSING IT will blow your mind
Yes she does she broke down after the video this one really hit
@ROMsquad His Tales trilogy will Blow yalls mind!
But........... his Crutch video... be be ready to hold her for hours!!!
@scabthecatand while it’s a fun song, it’s not at the top of my “Ren songs that blew my mind” list
"Losing It" is brilliant and a helluva good time.
@@Cabiriad brilliant? Again, it’s a fun song, but let’s chill on the hyperbole
“Cum twice bustin’ a nut you can’t fake it”
“I’m very very good, it’s good, it’s big in the hood, it’s big like a bear, a bear in the woods”
Wow this is next level shit man
Subscribed to watch your trip down the Ren rabbit hole - tie yourself in because this adventure has more twists and turns than a roller coaster.
Hi I loved your reactions! I hope you continue down the rabbit hole. I'll be here to watch, and you will be amazed! subbed
This is the kind of artistry that gives "broken" people hope. Ren, through this performance piece, has become to a lot of people exactly what he stated in the song, "...the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope". So powerful, so impactful. The song structure itself is incredible. It starts off as a battle between his positive (Angel) and negative (Demon) aspects, the negative then makes an overpowering last ditch effort to reign supreme, tearing free and trying to take control, but ultimately fails as the final act, being the "God" aspect, emerges Triumphant, though still acknowledging and accepting that it will ALWAYS be a battle because we are all "a coin with 2 different sides". It's a beautifully cathartic and raw musical masterpiece. Ren is truly special. Welcome to the Ren rabbit-hole, it's a trip worth taking. This was the 4th take he did and yes, it was done live. Wait until you hear some of his other stuff, especially his storytelling ("The Tale of Jenny & Screech"). You haven't even touched the breadth of this young man's talent yet.
The pig character (imo) represents the doctors and therapist who have essentially butchered him for years through their misdiagnosis. It's the system that focuses on peddling more pills than on genuinely trying to help to fix broken/ill people, caring more about profit than individual health. The bastardization of the hippocratic oath. He literally thought he was going insane because he was told repeatedly that the pain and symptoms he was experiencing were all in his head (psychosomatic). He had reached a point where he literally resigned himself to dying before he reached 30. Turns out he had Lyme's disease the whole time and it ran rampant through his system for 10 years, even to the point of causing brain damage. Ironically, if Ren hadn't gone through what he has, would he have ever made the art he has? There's no question that his suffering has shaped his music and now he's finally getting the recognition he undoubtedly deserves. I've said it before, I'll say it again, Ren is special.
That 'loosen the noose...' line gets me every time, similarly in Chalk Outlines with '...standing on my toes so I can breathe', two simple lines but so profound in their meaning and as you say, so relatable for many people.
Many many reactors have broke down crying to this song I have too Ren is an awesome artist.
Enjoy this journey..... not one bad song in his repertoire
I can't wait! ❤❤
"Crutch" is extremely sad.
Bri - You absolutely got this song
💯💯💯🖤🖤
Y'all truly just fell into the Deepest Rabbit Hole on the interweb!!!
Best Buckle Up!!!!
Prolific Artist Beyond His Years.....please keep them coming and support this young man
You think this is different! Watch The Tale of Jenny and Screech (it must be the full version) three parts of amazement.
Ive prob watched a hundred different reactions to "Hi Ren", and Brie is only the second one to recognize the Eminem melody in the very beginning. Cool ;-) Enjoyed your reaction & love Ren ❤ New sub
Yay!! I was hoping I wasn't the only one who caught the Em melody ❤❤ thanks for the love
3:30…Bro you were talking to yourself for a minute 🤣🤣🤣
So great seeing a new channel reaction, just subbed as I want more.... there are 200 videos including The Big Push ( the man he is in ) , I would go Chalk Outline Live with Chinchilla ( must be Live ) , if you want rap, Losing it or the Hunger! If you like Reggae, the LIVE version of " I Shot The Sheriff/ Road to Zion/Hip Hop as it is a classic!
Bri your reaction made this video.
❤
You can learn so much about a couple, watching them react on stuff...
Amazing. If the end of the song doesn’t pick you up then I’m not sure what would. Great reaction guys!!
Tale of Jenny and Screech is a must from Ren.
welcome to the Ren family.
the girl is awesome. you can see the curiosity, joy, humor, sadness on her face. she is truly experiencing shit. its rad
Thank you for noticing!! 🥰🥰❤
Common Stages of Reaction for the song 'Hi Ren' by Ren:
This looks creepy. Pig mask, ha.
Guitar sounds nice. Nylon strings.
Oh he’s singing. Falsetto. I did not expect that. Will the whole song be like this?
Okay, he’s rapping now. Cool. He's good. Has anyone noticed he looks like Tommy Shelby?
This guy is scary.
Now he seems nice.
Oh I see what he’s doing.
This is interesting, it's like Eminem or Plan B.
This is intense. Time has lost its meaning.
The mean guy is a jerk.
This is INTENSE!
Make it stop, I need to cry a bit.
I haven’t blinked or taken a breath in four minutes.
OMG THERE GOES THE 4TH WALL!!! How did he know what I was thinking?
YES! You tell him Ren. You are a genius!
Okay, scary just guy got way scarier. (You didn't know it was the devil, you would have dressed properly.)
The hopium arrives and I'm so here for it.
'Loosen the noose on the rope'.
...
HOLY SHITBALLS HE CAN SING!!! Damn, he can really sing.
OOO-OO-OO-OO-OO-... (your head bobs, tears in your eyes, you get it now)
I need some time to be still, wait there's more?
He's talking now and peering into my soul. I was not expecting to feel this much.
That was the longest nine minutes that has ever passed instantly.
(you sit in deafening silence as you contemplate existence)
"Good art makes you think about the art, great art makes you think about your life."
Welcome to the Ren Rollercoaster. Buckle up folks, it's a wild ride!!
Welcome to his rabbit hole...
I'm glad that at least she understood it.
Welcome to the world of REN fasten your Seatbelts
❤ #Ren he can do it all ❤
Nice reaction! ❤ Thank you!
Thank you for the love ❤
This was pure genius, from the one take video, the lyrics, down to the level of relateability to anyone who still battles with or who has struggled with mental disorders.
I've probably reacted and watched to reactions to this performance about 50 times, and I'm sure this one is among the top 10, at the very least. Above all because you visibly pondered (in real time, as a first reaction) without pausing that much.
Also, the dynamic was very cool, like:
He: ...like... you got that?
She: yeah, sure I did (way before you, my guy)
I have to say that that Eastern-looking gaze pierces like a bullet.
Great reaction, hope to see more of you guys regardless of the content.
I listened to this song today for the first time and have gone through all reactions I found. The amazing thing is that it seems to strike the same nerve in everyone I have watched. Your reaction was wonderful.
When you see anyone discover the voice of hope after suffering hardship it will stir your soul.
She took in way more than he did. He tries to explain it to her 😂😂😂
Hi'ya ROM, to the rest of your viewers Hi'yall New to your channel.
Hi Ren , Was MASTERFUL I would consider it ART ! I have never seen anyone speak about mental illness, or portray a vision of mental illness / split personality that leaves you with a complete understanding of what is going on inside the mind. One has to wonder how frustrating it must be for the people who have these illnesses to explain this experience not only to Doctor's But the Judicial System .They are mocked in court or called crazy . Or they are not believed it all. I can't credit this man enough. I hope everybody sees "HI Ren" Doctor's, Judge's, Prosecutors & Defense Attorneys, Friends, Family, more importantly ,Our EDUCATORS. ( It's the vessel that could change the WORLD 🌎 The way we see it & how we act on It ) This should be produced in every Language. Lisa
Everything Ren does is fire. As you noticed, he knows how to make people feel.
We are abundant here, wanting to be made to feel. Me too!
Shes got a beautiful empath soul.
Dude I hope you have that woman a huge hug and cooked up some food. Like her emotions flowing through parts of that song say loads and coke I don’t know you but them emotions say it all
Run girl run!
You have to check lut Love Music parts 1,2,3 and 4. Oceans, Humble, Chalk Outlines, Money Game 1 and 2, Hold On, Losing It, Domino's, and so much more. He is the diverse artist out there. And he
goes deep
The perfect song to describe any of us who have ever had imposter syndrome. That’s why his music is so loved because we can all connect.
It's hard to tell you what Ren track to check out next, but id suggest "how to be me" live with chinchilla. Then, "losing it". Then, him busking (live performances) with his band, "the big push".... so many genres. Id also read up on his background to get a feel for who he is. (Misdiagnosed lymes disease, almost died from it. Best friend took his own life, lost a record deal because of health, went independent, now blowing up and getting healthy). Really a sad but beautiful tale.
Go for Sick Boi next. It’s the natural follow on from Hi Ren 😀👍
Great reaction. Loved the song choice, and the insight. Always a good time. hope you're both doing well.
New drinking game, take a shot everytime he says "Know what I mean", after this video most of use are dead lol. Seriously thank you for reacting to this great performance :)
I heard this many times now and I still get emotional 🔥
I enjoyed your reaction. See you in the next one 😊
Bri, beautiful reaction.
Not multiple personalities, but his subconscious talking to his true self. Not a play, autobiographical rap opera.
Ahh I see... That is awesome.. thank you for the info ❤
Great reaction! The sound is one live take ( he used the 3rd or 4th take). Take a look at REN’s “The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full)” trilogy - 3 live takes, by the way. Do not split them up, trust me.
Oh good! I was hoping you'd do this one next.
Just discovered you guys. Loving your reactions to the genius that is Ren. You should cover Chalk Outlines with Chinchilla next. Guaranteed tears in the eyes for sure!!
Aye Love you both. Great on you!. Next Do "Ren Muderer official video and Murderer Accustic" both together in the same video. That will trip your minds and get your subs and views up a lot. Than do chalk outlines LIVE! and then a great one for Bri is "Ren - Dominoes (Official Lyric Video)" Than Ren Ren - Money Game (Official Music Video) and Ren - Money Game Part 2 (Official Lyric Video) Together in one video. then "Ren - Illest Of Our Time (Official Music Video)" than "Ren - Animal Flow (Official Music Video) and Ren - Animal Flow (Live Acoustic Video) in one video. Then "Ren - Power (Official Music Video)" Al so many more!! Ren Has so many songs and not one is bad. P.S Don't Listen to the songs before. HAHA Thanks
Loved the reaction from u both!
His band is great too the big push they were street performers they did a cover of sting English man in New York and I shot the sheriff,road to Zion ,hip hop mash up definitely check it out worth it
Straight man comment. I like a guy who is really in touch with the emotional content and really understands it but looks like he could destroy me physically in less than 10 seconds. Props.
❤🙏❤
It was beautiful, you are beautiful, we must always strive to be better
Iv been waitin for ROM to jump on the Ren train for 6 months.
You ain't lying I remember all the requests I was going through some ish but now I'm getting it together thanks fam

Great reaction. I was trying to find the song to buy one day. They had it under folk music (I guess).....I was like na that's a real life hit 🤣
