- Watch me react to Ren Losing it ( FISHER rap retake )! Check out the other REN reactions on my channel if you want to follow my journey in discovering him. I saw inspiration from Eminem on this rap, and also can see Ren make his own sound off of it. Overall, I enjoyed this song as well, although a couple flows did not hit as well as the flows from The Hunger. His references, inner rhymes, and cadence were all A tier in my opinion. What did you think of his song? How would you review Ren on this rap? Let me know!

Since I am seeing it a lot in the comments; I am kidding about banning him because of a camera angle LOL! Was a joke people hahaha. Anyway, which should I check out next? Genesis or Chalk Outlines? These seem to be the most requested in the comments.
Genesis is a rap song (which I think you'd like) where Chalk outlines is... I don't know how to describe it. Indie maybe?
Both are great songs.
My top 3 Ren tracks are Power, Genesis and Chalk Outlines. Chalk Outlines will be a change up from the last few you've done, and it's beautiful. So that's my vote 💗
Chalk Outlines blew me away with the harmonies. Goosebumps.
Chalk outlines!
I’m 46 and I knew you you were joking as it’s not something a man my age wants to see so the shock value of that was real cuz I didn’t know where it was going but after watching the song a few times I love this song cuz it was showing all rens talents of a rapper . Weird thing is I got you were joking but I wonder about the youth in Britain today that don’t get or see jokes or sarcasm when it’s presented as that what we do best 😂
“We’re not doing this again.” Proceeds to do it again immediately. Addictive, yo
LOL
Pure fun Ren, flex with humour 😁 I don't have a problem with the angle 🤣
LOL
I don't have a problem with that angle shot either. 😁
four door ford and Mordor Lord, nice
Losing It is definitely more of a fun song, but then I think it’s nice to see him let loose and remind us all to laugh when possible even if life sucks most of the time.
Oh and also pretty sure I saw Ren mention Eminem in a Q&A when asked about which three artists he would love to collaborate with. I sure wouldn’t mind seeing that happen someday…
Also hello to your cat ❤
You're right, he did say that about Eminem.
The fact that is illness forced him to find ways to occupy his mind means he probably was a bulimic movie watcher music listener book reader. His references from street culture to any culture is 😱
terabyte = computer storage, werewolves and vampires = terror bite
Fireeeee
I feel like that switch up into what you said sounded like Em's Venom is 100% a shout out to Em. I think Ren shouts out to some of the areas he's known and then basically does a double word play with "what you reckon?" but I've heard it also read as "recon", as if in the first instance he's asking Em "What you think?" or similarly with "recon" it's almost like he knows Em has looked at him already. Regardless, the lines that follow are, "Back on my bullsh*t, did you see what I did there? New kid on the block, """Flip the drop of the music I twist it, beat it, abuse it"""" " Where I think he's talking about the Venom reference even after that flow has ended. Just a complete theory by the way, I'm certainly not a lyrical analyst by any stretch of the imagination, but that's just what I pick up from it and I feel like Ren is clever enough to put that together, you're the first reaction I've seen pick up on that I thought I was crazy at first
I think it might be deliberate: at 9:56 when he is going "beast-mode" he looks like a young Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols. I think I read somewhere punk is one of his influences.
Go to his channel & check out "Guns of Brixton" in his busking playlist! Joe Strummer would be PROUD! Also, Big Push does a punk cover of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun."
Bro you got your sh_t together. Old head facts you share and explain! Your doing it right, never lose it.
❤️
Thank you man this is very kind 🙏
Love the reaction and your insight. Much appreciated.
craziest part of all this, is this was a beat that was already out there (fisher- losing it) and hes made this rap to go with it
Thank you for showing Ren the support and love to this incredibly multi faceted artist . Much respect.
I’m loving the way you break things down I subbed after watching this one. This is by far my favorite Ren song it’s so fun and gets me hyped like nothing else. Great reaction! 👍🏼👍🏼
the pop 1 pop2 pop3 men pop myself for revenge and all the red light green light and hallway running plus the blue sweats is all referring to Squid Games.
Yes, another reference to movies/TV!
@@xFayze was on my way to posting "I guess you didn't watch it" :P
I think there's also a mischievous/joke brag about his skills in there. Like it's "pop1, pop2; drop 3 men" - in other words he only needs 2 shots to drop 3 guys.
That's certainly possible, I hadn't thought of that. Thank you!
Great breakdown for a guy that doesn’t looks like he knows rap … which shows us all never judge a book by the cover
Most important thing first, hello Diva! 😽 And she can sleep where ever she likes. She IS a diva after all.
I've only recently gotten into rap more and really appreciate listening to what you have to say on songs like this. You point out things I would not notice on my own. Makes me enjoy the songs and the talent of the artists even more.
The shot from "that angle". haha 😂😂
If I can get Diva on camera for my next video, you'll see how her name fits her personality completely 😂. And thank you for the kind comment Melanie
Ren can do no wrong in my opinion, he's a musical genius! Mind blowing!!
agree, but he can't dribble a basketball for shit ;)
Don't forget the whole squid game reference in this lol.
Also... Godzilla v king Kong was a movie lol
Excellent reaction and insight. Ren is a very special and unique talent.
Everything he does drips of genius!
Ren is based out of Brighton, though born in Wales. You see mainly Brighton Streets, and the English Channel shoreline in his MVs. London is easily commutable from Brighton though. He also references British bands - The Kaiser Chiefs and The Police in this video. Obviously Red Light: Green Light references Squid Game
This is definitely a fun flow, I dig his versatility
This one is on constant rotation on my playlist rn....I LOVE it~!
I have to listen to it at least 5 times a day lol!! This and The Hunger. They're just amazing!
The Punjabi "R trill" at 17:09 & 17:17!!! Add Bhangra to the list of genres this man has mastered! NFW!!! Where will it end?!?!? 🤯
Sex and violence; glamourised
Tarantino flow, no lullaby
BAR - Ren is referring to his trilogy. Violet's Tale specifically as the flow of Violet's Tale jumps around the chronological time-line just like Tarantino was famous for doing in his movies.
Came to say this as well❣️. ✌🏼💖🤘🏼
I think he's a lot more famous for glamourising sex and violence, via hyper realism...
Hey 👋 my first time to your spot, Ren is absolutely fantastic.... Ya had me on that bed making thing🤣I feel ya right there ❤️
Love this track! Great reaction! Hey to your cat she’s beautiful 🖤🐈
Once more a really great reaction. Thank you! Losing it grows on you, especially as a counterbalance to the deeper ones. Have you got Power in your list, yet? It is upbeat, fun, but with more meaning and less condensed. I really like the final screen ;D
Power I forgot, that one is requested quite a bit too let me add it to my Watch List
New subber. Hi :)
Liked your breakdown.
I know what you mean about eminem. He wasn't copying him but let's share facts here... rens my age...his Nf age...we all grew up with eminem as an influence and so like NF does AT TIMES ...they both pay respect/homage to eminem.
Well said, Eminem is still the most streamed artist to this day internationally. NF and REN might incorporate some elements of Em, but their subject matter and creativity are completely a different lane from Em
Just subscribed. You are up there with Knox Hill. Absolutely top analysis. Thank you 🙏
Thank you friend! I used to watch him alot, he is on a whole different level though I have to admit
4:14 that drop hits soooo hard :D
Yeah the original song is a banger
@@oJTCx It's not only the Beat, it is because of what he did
FYI, Ren pulls techniques and inspiration from multiple artists and styles, but he also pays tribute to those artists within the lyrics. He has mentioned Eminem, Plan B, Busta Rhymes, Jimmy Hendrix, and Bob Marley... then he has mimicked all of them as if you can not tell the difference. His Bob Marley remakes were a complete tribute, and close your eyes. You may believe Mr. Marley has been reincarnated.
You made me spit out the coca cola I was drinking with the "angle" comment! 🤣
Cool reaction man, really accurate! 💪🔥
Love Music 1,2, and 3
if you remind the two rappers he‘s mentioned in his song „hi ren“ then you know who his rapping role models are. those two are „plan b“ and „eminem“. about ten years ago plan b was big in britain. he‘s been a rapper who could sing and rap just like ren. hence a big role model i guess.
Ren what you want old style rap
I want a Squid Games tracksuit.........Greenlight!
Really good react. Subbed.
Thank you!
The uncomfortable reaction to that one line and angle that every single male has is interesting. I don't get it I guess. Great reaction though.
Right? In my opinion, it reeks of insecurity. Mind you, I've seen a few men react without flinching.
Hahaha I was joking 😅
Absolutely. Bless them poor things maybes they like it a bit too much and when they say they don’t want to see it again they mean the opposite 🤷🏻♂️
@@ChrisLawton66 which ones because I haven't seen one yet
Looking at some of these comments I can’t believe that if they are from Britain that they are this butt hurt over a joke . Jeez . Us British are the best at jokes and sarcasm so can’t believe so many don’t recognise a joke when they see one
Love it when he's having so much fun with his rhymes and licks
Ren is incredibly versatile (understatement) ...
This is the first time I've seen this track, and just WOW
On my way home from work today I was listening to his tracks, as I often do .. and this one, for an example of his range, vocal and genre style: th-cam.com/video/bVvA7VOU0MI/w-d-xo.html
Big up the Bristol crews!!
nice react. genesis is a deeper rap track.
GENIUS ❤
❤ ...he ALSO references ( which almost no one has mentioned) "Mordor Lord" and from what I know of Lord of the Rings..they are pretty badass 🤣
Woohoo! Losing it!
It would be good for you, I believe, if you'd check out " Chalk Outlines", live by Ren ft Chinchilla!!! He sings in this!! No rapping, and it's so beautiful!! I can only think you'll love it!! It's on my favourite playlist now and will stay there always!!!
Ren literally says " ...venom" ❤
10:15 is a call out to Eminem's Venom, isn't it? The influence is definitely there.
I think so yea
Yeah, that's what I thought. I think he actually mentions "Venom" at the start of the section. A nod to the influence.
I think you caught more bars than any other reactor
Thank you for the reaction, I love this song! Funny, because I don’t like rap or EDM. Can only listen to it for about one minute. Can anyone explain that? Lol. Anyway, great reaction. 🖖🏻❤️🔥🫶🏼
I feel the same way about edm sometimes. For rap, there's alot of meh songs out there. A rap with multiple flow switches and good lyrics makes a huge difference for me in terms of enjoyment
When you said there's certain points where this doesn't flow as well as the hunger, I gotta agree. I like this song, but I feel like this with most things he does retakes of (as in, he didn't make the beat). I feel like it might be easier for him to match his flow with the beat if he produces both. Still great writing, but his original stuff just hits harder imo. I recommend What you want next, it's a more old-school beastie boys inspired song.
Michael Bay is the “flashy explosive directing”. REN’s line was “sex and violence… Tarantino flow”. Quentin Tarantino is kniown for sex and violence.
Hey, kitty, I hope you're a fan of Ren too 😊❤️
Diva says hi back, or atleast, that's what I hope she would say
"Digital vampire Terabyte" could also be terror bite since vampire movies are the terror genre and they bite.
Exactly that's the bar!
nice reaction...Ren is crazy good
the tom cruise bit.. i wonder if he spent a while trying to fit "top gun" into a line. that's a very rappable tom cruise movie title :p
The “Redlight, Greenlight” from Squid Game ♥️
It's a boast song and a challenge - he's telling the world how good he is. Macbeth, Thane of Cawdor, killed the king to become King. This is what he's doing. Even the start of the song - 'fee fi fo fum' - in the story of Jack that continues 'I smell the blood of an Englishman '. Ren is a beast hunting an English rapper; Ren is Welsh.
He has a song called Depression, you may want to check that one out, as well as Diazepam.
redlight/greenlight, 456 tracksuit = squid game
I didn't hear you say anything about the red light green light and his blue track suit is squid game. That was funny.
Im a demon Morgan Freeman FTW.
For some sick rapping try, Ocean-Ren ft Eden Nash. Great bars and an amazing song too. Do the one with lyrics for easier understanding
Ren, you have my permission to show the up-pantsed shot again. xFayze doesn't know what he's talking about!!
I think that beat is more UK style so it sounds a bit weird to Americans? I don't know I could be wrong.
I'm Canadian but I guess that's not much different. I agree, I have definitely not heard that type of sound much, if at all. I need to hear it a few more times before I fully decide how I feel about the beat, but it is catchy. I liked the second half better
Yeah it’s definitely a uk thing as I love this beat mixed with rap but noticed that Americans not do much
Think the original track is from Fisher, an Aussie EDM producer. No lyrics in the original, other than "I'm losing it". Rapping to an EDM beat IS different, at least to my ear. Higher, lighter, less organic sound. Less bass. More urgent. Insanely precise club music.
The beat is a 2016 (I think) club track by Fisher called Losing It. The original is just an instrumental with the only words exactly placed in REN’s retake “I’m Losing It”. Definitely more of a UK style to take a club track and rap over it, I’m not saying it doesn’t happen in the US, but it’s more prevalent in the UK with the fact that grime is largely done at 140bpm so club tracks are a natural go to for beats👍👍👍
@@Parula06 Rapping over dance music has looong been big a thing in the UK, especially in the late 80's/early 90's. Check out KLFs 'what time is love' and there's always Betty Boo's 'Doin the do' as early examples that got into the charts.
This song has WAYYY more references than iv seen any reactionist pick up, there is alot on eminem, venom as you said, but not just the tune he uses the words venom, hes also referencing the song name Losing it again an eminem song, (Lose It), hes wearing the squid game Player 456 clothes to line up with the red light green light parts, hes on about godzilla again another eminem song reference, there is just Sooooo many through the whole song :D nice reaction video tho, you gained a new sub
Bro... dig into his older stuff... Ocean, Life is Funny, Love Music pt3, etc...
I really enjoyed this reaction but it’s a bit like my dentist has become an expert at breaking down rap music😁
I don't listen to rap a lot, so I want to ask you a question: Since Ren normally writes his own beats, I would think that this song, where he wrote new lyrics to an existing beat, must radically change the lyric writing/ creative process. Or am I wrong about that? I know that on his Bittersweet Symphony retake, the Brit reactors are really praising how Ren captures the essence of what it is to live in Britain and they universally love Ren's version. But the rhyme scheme seems much simpler in Bittersweet Symphony vs Losing it.
As far as I know, writing lyrics to an already made beat confines the writer into an area they can maneuver in. Ren is still able to choose which flow and rhyme schemes to use, but there are only a limited amount that he has to pick from. From a creative aspect, producing your own beat or working with a producer in real time offers much more room for creative moments, fluid flow transitions, cool effects like the beat cutting in and out, etc. There are some producers who post themselves making beats on youtube, and often times you'll see them humming freestyle lyrics and flows while they make their beats. If Ren is participating in the production, he can choose whether he wants to follow the beat or if he wants to steer a bit and have the beat follow him (if that makes sense) vs. being constrained to only following the beat here.
@@xFayze Thanks for the reply.
OMG KITTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
im completely fine if he does that angle all the time lmfao
Hey Diva!!!!
Doesn't Ren reference Eminem "Venom" as he start the section into the tunnel.
I think so
The amount of reactors who have an issue with the "angle"...... its just art dude its nothing to be a prude about. Seriously its nothing
Paul McBeth is a 6 time world champion disc golfer. He's famous for going into beast mode.
Oh, I just thought he referenced Shakespeare and meant he was going to kill everyone. Nice double meaning there!
Nothing to do with him. It’s a reference to MACBETH by Shakespeare. Became KING of Scotland after “ killing “ the old king then started seeing ghosts
😂😂😂😂, er NO !. How to completely miss
What?!! Ban Ren?? Psh
😂
Godzilla vs Kong?
Go back and listen to the original Losing It by Fisher.
Hi Cat :)
Hi reeva 😊
🤣
Someone is confusing Tarantino with Michael Bay.
Explosive?...Tarantino is more known for his dialogue between characters.
Poor choice of word. Was thinking of the pacing of the filming in some scenes such as Kill Bill. Back and forth angle shots, quick, brutal. Was relating it to how Ren flows. He switches multiple flows and cadences without giving you a moment to breathe
@@xFayze true, Tarantino definitely chops it up... middle, beginning, end etc..
I kinda knew what you were going for, I was just taking the piss a little lol
Good reaction btw, subbed.
@@seandan7873 thank you brother!
I rather liked the angle….
Aww... Some people are so delicate and insecure. You may want to stop the Ren reactions now if you're legitimately bothered because he has some lyrics out there which might ruin your day.
Also, Tarantino isn't at all known for explosions. He's well known for his non-linear storytelling. I think a "Tarantino flow" indicates a lot of switch ups.
He was joking. Relax.
@chris everyone’s entitled to an opinion so wind your neck in
Woosh 😂
Maybe I didn't use the correct word. When I said explosive, I was thinking of movies like kill Bill where the filming is very fast paced and going all over the place, like explosive pacing. Idk, made sense in my head at the time!
Seriously, I knew he was joking so the fact your making this comment about how insecure he is , is actually a tell take sign that you don’t get humour and got offended by what was clearly a joke 🤦🏻♂️ that American culture of being offended is starting to rub off on the younger generation of brits . As old ones recognise a joke when we see one . That’s what makes Britain’s great 🤷🏻♂️
Your reactions are on point. Thank you for picking up on "you look fit with my dick in your hand". Not fitting and not what I believe this man to be,
Oh no.. Boring.
plz dont explain rap to ppl. like no-one knows what the word rhyme means. it makes u look stupid. sorry to sound like a troll. im not
...wow.
Thank you for the comment, but if me enjoying myself and making the video my way isn't what you want, I know there are plenty of other places you can get that sort of reaction. I will stick to my natural reaction behavior!
@@xFayze yes you do you ! I enjoy your reactions and analysis 👍
Some (correction, MANY MANY) people enjoy seeing someone break down rap. If that's not your cup of tea, why not just click away and find something more to your liking.
You're not being a troll, merely a selfish, rude, entitled, pathetic, jerk.
No one's forcing you to watch, you didn't pay for this entertainment (and it IS entertaining to almost everyone else watching) and it's FREE.
Maybe you just need to step away from the screen and ponder expending all that pent-up energy on something productive and useful.
Might I suggest some fresh air, sunlight, and perhaps look into trading in that attitude for one that comes with an improved social skill set.
Keep doing you mate some people are obsessed with if you don’t look the part then you have no say
Why do so many male reactors have such issues with that angle? 🤔 of course it affects me too, but in a different way I think 🫣
😂
I've seen quite a few reactions to this track and it's surprising how many male reactors keep going back to just before that angle even though they claim not to like it.🤣🤣
@@SPierced valid point
I see some guys laugh it off but most go, "ew" or "no!" Guess there's a lot of guys not comfortable with their sexuality. It's a camera angle. Watching it doesn't make you gay, fellas. It's just a bit of fun. 😆
For scientific purposes of course 😉 (I was kidding but I assume you caught that)
Just an observation on the rap speed .. the background music really escalates in speed. Is it two beats per syllable? Not sure .. need to listen again 😎
Hi Eba 🤎🧡🤎
You notice the Squid Game reference ( blue tracksuit, 456 )
Actually 4 syllable rymes,locomotive ect ect...
