100% ode to the Beastie Boys. BTW haven’t we all slept on great music because of our biases? I’m loving being introduced to all the great music I missed the first time around. ❤ you guys!
Right!? Who knew I would start listening to hip hop from other artists and enjoy it? Who knew I’d be going and watching reaction vids of past rap battles and dis tracks? Not me, but here I am. Ren is a bridge to so many genres.
I’m a 44 year old woman and this brought me back to being 15 on the beach with my friends playing licensed to ill on our boombox, checking out boys, sneaking beers and cigarettes and having the time of my life. Thank you REN!!!!! You’re eternally flawless!!!
56 - and we still did that... maybe with just a bit more serious intent. We bought the booze and cigarettes, had a bonfire and the boys... ahhh. the boys...lol. Such fun times. Youth today needs to go outside more, that's where the fun was.
I am 10 years older than you, I didn't listen to much of anything like that. My two kids might have, but I never heard it from them from radios or anything. So maybe they weren't into hip hop or rap either. LOL I do love Ren though and he's giving me music I may have ignored during that time. I was / am a country music lady, mostly old tune, disco and some soft rock. Anything from the 60' up through the 70's. I missed out on a lot of other music. TH-cam is educating me now. hahaha
This song is DEFINITELY a tribute to the Beastie Boys, and YOU NEED to have Beastie on the Channel. The Song "Whatcha, Whatcha, Want, is where this come from. I love this jam so much from Ren. Again, get a Beastie Boys reaction to their song. Their catalog of AWESOMENESS is in your wheelhouse for sure!
The Beastie Boys' "Sabotage" video was considered one of the best music videos from the 90's (and the song is fire), so yeah! Some Beastie Boys would be great!
Please react to "Crutch". Ren wrote it at the height of his illness several years ago. It features guest vocals by his ex-gf Bibi. It's hauntingly beautiful - guaranteed to give you chills! Hint... read the brief introduction Ren wrote before playing the video. The cinematography is breathtaking and was done with zero budget. Trust me, you are going to want to react to this! Be prepared to get your socks knocked off, as Ren's vocals (especially at the end of the video) will blow you away! 💛
"There's nothing that Ren can't do." Truer words were never spoken. Musically, at least... oh, and fighting extreme illness with strength and grace... oh, and creating international online treasure hunts... oh, and... seriously nothing at all he can't do. That's not possible, of course, yet somehow I really think it is! Thanks for another great reaction!
The whole video is paying homage to the beastie boys vids. "so, watcha' want", "intergalactic", "make some noise", " sure shot", "3mcs and 1 dj" which you guys should do reactions to. 1. cause you do reactions and the beastie boys do well for reactions 2. Eric the hip hop head should be versed on the beastie boys, not throwing shade just saying you should cause you won't be disappointed. ... and remember " if you roll 2 spliffs then you're double jointed" (100 points to anyone who gets that reference)
I think you will enjoy this song more upon a few more listens when you can catch all the lyrics, thank you. More Ren, and The Big Push please. I will always ask for more Ren, cause I just love all his music. ❤❤❤ Love your funny quips at the end too. 🤣
It is the greatest tribute to Beastie Boys without being an official tribute in my opinion. If you like the vibe, you should listen to "So Watcha Want" or "Pass the Mic" from the Beastie Boys. good rap with crazy lyrics that just make you smile. :)
You don't have to do reviews on Beastie Boys, but I do recommend going into their playlist and checking them out. Some great songs! Another great Ren song to check out, if you haven't is Ready for You. Shows off his all-around talent - rapping, singing, lyricist, etc. Plus, Chinchilla just dropped a new video called Cut You Off. Holy crap it is good. Great review guys, keep it up!
My dudes. You need to go down a Beastie Boys rabbit hole. The song title here is a callback to BB's "So What'Cha Want." Some of my favorites -- a little off the beaten path -- are "Root Down" and "Shake Your Rump." Some classics are "Three MCs and One DJ" and "Intergalactic."
Fantastic reaction,Ren was also in a band called the big push,it would be awesome if you would check out some of their songs, highly recommend War pigs the road to Zion hip-hop the version where he has on the red braces and many more.Ren also has another TH-cam channel called ren makes stuff, Harry Mack does a tribute to Ren and it's amazing 👍you always put a smile in my heart, thanks 🔥
Back again, Ren is really something. Freekin amazing talent, Guitar, Bass, piano!!!! Live Busking with his buddies The Big Push!!! Check him out more, there’s lots more!!!! Your Gonna enjoy the ride!!!
Yes this is a throw back to The Beastie Boys with the way he's singing. The dancing has throw backs to multiple rappers. Including Kid and Play near the end with the jump over step. Great reaction
Not sure if anyone remembers when movies had killer soundtracks. But Fast and The Furious, had a song titled Urban Assault Remix. Fred Durst of Limp Bisket had a verse that he nods to. Also the White Tee and Red Pants are also a nod as well. Gotta love the Ren Easter Eggs he puts in his videos.
Yea this is straight up a Beastie Boys homage. With a little nod to Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit fame with the red trousers and white shirt look, and Fat Boy Slim with the bad street dance fun. Love It. Also the Hi Ren my name is Ren, oh thats great man, had me on the floor the first time i heard it. Fun as fuck song, and a great reaction, cheers guys!
ERIC!!! You were spot on!! Your hip-hop knowledge may not go back to that era, but your instincts serve you will young padawan! This song is not only a nod to that era, but it is a direct "tip-of-the-hat" to The Beastie Boys, it's why he had his two buddies appear in the video, the outfits they wore, and the Beasties made the the fish-eye lens look a thing back then (360 camera's weren't around yet), plus many of their videos are of them just acting a fool around their home town of Brooklyn or NYC. GREAT reaction as usual. With you're now mature pallet for different music and genres, YOU MUST GO BACK!!!...lol, and check out some Beastie Boys, they literally have a track called "Whatcha Want", totally different from this track though, musically, but an excellent song to start with. Just don't start with "No Sleep To Brooklyn" or "Fight For Your Right To Party".....Both classic tracks, but were their first two hits, and the studio at the time encouraged them do songs with more rock, than rap in it, to get radio play. Or you could try "Shake Your Rump", "3 MCs and 1 DJ", "Sure Shot" or "Root Down", all good places to start off, and some of their best early work IMO. Also, don't forget, they were Rick Rubin's first group on Def Jam, and are credited with discovering LL Cool J and introducing him to Rick Rubin, and also talking Rubin into letting Public Enemy go on their first tour with them, giving Chuck D and company their fist nationwide exposure. Probably why Chuck D and LL were the ones that inducted the Boys into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Ok, I'll quit being a fan boy now and shut up. Great job as usual guys!!
Great reaction! I love this song. Definitely an homage to the Beastie Boys. Looking forward to more Ren, The Big Push, Chinchilla, and all Ren’s collabs! ☮️❤️😎
I too slept on said music Eric. I'm changing that. So many late 80's early 90's Hip Hop I missed out on. I really dig Pharcyde, The Roots, Jurassic Five, A Tribe Called Quest, OutKast, Beastie Boys and so many more. Wicked reaction Brothas!
Its time to introduce you to the real Mc....... Mysonne is his name. This brother is an educator, a historian, a activist, he is what hip hop should be. His story telling is on another level. Please please react to him. He is the best freestyle artist out there...... Mysonne and Fat Joe freestyle on Funk Flex.... would love to hear your views on this underated artist.... shout out to your channel all the way from South Africa.....
If you guys are interested in this kind of sound I would highly recommend reacting to Joey Valence & Brae they are a young hip hop duo bringing back this kind of style. Hooligang and Punk tactics are my personal favorites
Yeah Beastie Boy influence for sure. ERIC!!!! you really need to dive into the Beastie Boys! Go with Paul Revere, Brass Monkey, Sabotage. You will hear a lot of similarities between this song and those from the Beastie Boys.
The whole Beastie Boys License to Ill album is pure fire and plays a critical role in hip hop history. They even discovered LL Cool J and got him hooked up to Def Jam. Start with their song "Paul Revere", it's a clinic in rap storytelling.
100% ode to the Beastie Boys. BTW haven’t we all slept on great music because of our biases? I’m loving being introduced to all the great music I missed the first time around. ❤ you guys!
For some reason I hear some Jurassic 5 influence in the chorus.
Right!? Who knew I would start listening to hip hop from other artists and enjoy it? Who knew I’d be going and watching reaction vids of past rap battles and dis tracks? Not me, but here I am. Ren is a bridge to so many genres.
@@Meow-Meow501 completely agree. Music…the great uniter!
@@Meow-Meow501 Ren is our gateway artist.
Facts!!! ❤
Ren's video locations tend to work on the daying "Ask forgiveness not permission". 😂
It's a Beastie Boys tribute xo
I’m a 44 year old woman and this brought me back to being 15 on the beach with my friends playing licensed to ill on our boombox, checking out boys, sneaking beers and cigarettes and having the time of my life. Thank you REN!!!!! You’re eternally flawless!!!
I'm 49... And feel the exact same way!!!... Except girls instead!!
56 - and we still did that... maybe with just a bit more serious intent. We bought the booze and cigarettes, had a bonfire and the boys... ahhh. the boys...lol. Such fun times. Youth today needs to go outside more, that's where the fun was.

right!?
54 here and man those were good days!!!!!
It’s 100% a tribute to the Beastie Boys. It’s so damn good!
hope you guys go thru the new Ren album...it's so good.
Yeah total Beastie boys vibes! Love Ren days 🤘🏻Nice one ❤️❤️

The blond guy is Viktus who collaborated in Down on the beat

Ren - Seven Sins...! Do EET! Trust me! You will both love it! It is FIRE!!!!
PLEASE DO SEVEN SINS of the new album
That shirt could also read.. (We Get It Ren You Can Music) ... He "can music" more than any artist today.
❤ #Ren definitely beastie boys vibe he was going for ❤
I think you will enjoy this song more upon a few more listens when you can catch all the lyrics, thank you. More Ren, and The Big Push please. I will always ask for more Ren, cause I just love all his music. ❤❤❤ Love your funny quips at the end too. 🤣
Thanks for doing this one guys! Every time this comes on I can't help but turn it up and smile.
I hear Beastie Boys!!!! 💜💜💜 I met The Beastie Boys in 1987 in Seattle, they were touring with RUN DMC!!! I'm loving Ren!!!!
I've been waiting for more Ren from you guys
Same!! I love their vids abt Ren because he never sticks with 1 type of music or beat
The guy in the purple is Victus ❤
Beastie Boys - Fight for Your Right
You'll love it
Absolutely. I didn't listen to hip-hop much "back then", but that song was simply one of the great songs of that time...
*the fact that Ren has opened ur eyes to who u might have missed out on in the past is really cool 😄*
yeah he purposely made it sound very beastie boys and kris kross vibes.
Wait, Eric you’re a hip hop head and “don’t know much about the beastie boys”???
It is the greatest tribute to Beastie Boys without being an official tribute in my opinion.
If you like the vibe, you should listen to "So Watcha Want" or "Pass the Mic" from the Beastie Boys. good rap with crazy lyrics that just make you smile. :)
Yes, Beastie Boys all day long.
You don't have to do reviews on Beastie Boys, but I do recommend going into their playlist and checking them out. Some great songs!

Definitely a Beastie Boys vibe happening here and so much more 👍 I really liked the Video!
This has a total Beastie Boys vibe fo sho
❤❤
Wicked ways will wreck you guys
Fantastic reaction,Ren was also in a band called the big push,it would be awesome if you would check out some of their songs, highly recommend War pigs the road to Zion hip-hop the version where he has on the red braces and many more.Ren also has another TH-cam channel called ren makes stuff, Harry Mack does a tribute to Ren and it's amazing 👍you always put a smile in my heart, thanks 🔥
I Think you will Like Hold On by Ren its over looked a lot because its 7 or 8yrs old but it's a very underrated Song although not by his Fans
Not when you bang his RENS DEMOS CD volume 1 and 2 everyday combined with Freckled Angels and Sick Boi. We know!
If you enjoy scratching Kyle you guys have to check out Coast Contra - Breathe and Stop. 😉
Back again, Ren is really something. Freekin amazing talent, Guitar, Bass, piano!!!! Live Busking with his buddies The Big Push!!! Check him out more, there’s lots more!!!! Your Gonna enjoy the ride!!!
I believe this was before his "Hi Ren" song, so it was kind of referencing the song before anyone knew, almost like an inside joke with himself
😏🥳❤️🔥❤️🔥💯😎 He's SOOO fun!😄
He really is! 😊🎉🎉
Yes this is a throw back to The Beastie Boys with the way he's singing. The dancing has throw backs to multiple rappers. Including Kid and Play near the end with the jump over step. Great reaction
Yeah, they were doing some Beastie Boys poses even, also some Bloodhound Gang.
Just awesome!
This is one of my happy songs. It's very much a call back to the Beastie Boys!
Beastie Boys vibes for sure, out of all the songs I've heard from Ren, he just doesn't miss on anything, great reaction fellas, CHEERS!!!
One of my many favorites ❤
Thank you
Ren never misses, it’s such a fun upbeat song. Another great reaction.
F. Yeah. Let's just let Ren do Ren. And we can all add a million amazing songs to our playlist.
This song/vid is directly inspired by the Beastie Boys - Intergalactic. Watch the vid and you know 😊
Have you seen Ren Uninvited? Think you might enjoy that one 😅
Not sure if anyone remembers when movies had killer soundtracks. But Fast and The Furious, had a song titled Urban Assault Remix. Fred Durst of Limp Bisket had a verse that he nods to. Also the White Tee and Red Pants are also a nod as well. Gotta love the Ren Easter Eggs he puts in his videos.
Love it! This is one of my favs. Can’t believe you haven’t done it yet!!
Time to do Beastie Boy reactions for sure.
This is such a fun one...takes me back... 😊
A great Beastie Boys throwback.
A beautiful song!
Could you react to the band AUNAURA at some point?
They are the best new metal band that I've heard
Yea this is straight up a Beastie Boys homage. With a little nod to Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit fame with the red trousers and white shirt look, and Fat Boy Slim with the bad street dance fun. Love It.
Also the Hi Ren my name is Ren, oh thats great man, had me on the floor the first time i heard it. Fun as fuck song, and a great reaction, cheers guys!
Yes, this is most definitely a Beastie Boys hommage 🥳
And he fid an amazing job with that
Rens Bittersweet Symphony is dope as fuck. A def must see.
Beastie Boys are my 💩 and apparently they are to Ren too
The big push, TH-cam , ren busking it’s amazing
Love this song! So fun!!
I got Beasty Boys sounds from it too. Ren is amazing.
100% an ode to BB and a few others as well as mid to late 80’s feel 🤘🏼
Definitely paying homage to the beastie boys!
Gave me an "Eminem - The King and I" feel...good stuff!
It's a Beastie Boys tribute for sure.... "homage" includes a "flute loop" for the trainspotters
Beastie Boys, So What'cha Want. This is dope af.
ERIC!!! You were spot on!! Your hip-hop knowledge may not go back to that era, but your instincts serve you will young padawan!

This gives me a Beastie Boys type vibe. I swear Ren is the best and most awesome
Absolutely Beastie Boys. Nailed it!
Eric you are speaking all of our truths about many different genres and artists. Cheers guys! 💯
Great reaction! I love this song. Definitely an homage to the Beastie Boys. Looking forward to more Ren, The Big Push, Chinchilla, and all Ren’s collabs! ☮️❤️😎
Love the tribute to Beauty Boys! I saw costumes like BB’s Intergalactic ❤️
Definitely reminds me of Beastie Boys!! Love this!!
This is DEFINITELY “Beastie Boyz!” #80’s Vibes #mp3 #break dancing Lmao 😂😂😂
"Beastie Boy's", it's what it puts me in mind of
Great reaction, thanks Gents 🙏🐊❤️🦉👍
Awesome reaction thank you guys Ren ❤
This is one of my fave Ren songs and videos. It reminds me of Beastie Boys, including the outfits.
it's totally Hey Ladies, Intergalactic vibes. Adam "MCA" would've love it
Love this. Definitely brings back to my teenaged years. Just a fun time. Like this when I commute.
I too slept on said music Eric. I'm changing that. So many late 80's early 90's Hip Hop I missed out on. I really dig Pharcyde, The Roots, Jurassic Five, A Tribe Called Quest, OutKast, Beastie Boys and so many more. Wicked reaction Brothas!

Been waiting for you to do this one. You need to check out more pig push and the new songs on sickboi album
If you are taking recommendations i would like to recommend jeris Johnson two most recent songs they are "when the darkness comes" and "take me away"
U boys will luv this an its wat we all want!😂
This was a lot of fun checking out this song with you guys
This is one of my favorites and go to for my hype song before business meetings!!😂😂❤
he wrote and did the music for this one in 2016!!! just think about this. this and The Hunger both from 2016!!!!
No question who it's a nod to (you had it right) and as Ren has said numerous times the 90's was his era of influence.
The dude in the purple top is Viktus from the Down on the Beat track.
So cool watching you guys vibe & smile to this one, one of my favs!
If you guys are interested in this kind of sound I would highly recommend reacting to Joey Valence & Brae they are a young hip hop duo bringing back this kind of style. Hooligang and Punk tactics are my personal favorites
I could definitely hear the Beastie Boys…but I was getting a bit of early ‘Asian Dub Foundation’ at the beginning too…anyone else?…love the song btw 😊
Please do univated song.
Beastie boys yayyyy. I saw korn/slipknot do sabotage together at Wembly. One of the best gigs. If you haven't seen it's a must to check out.
The end where they get kicked from the store, is reminiscent of The Beastie Boys being kicked from a subway.
Yeah Beastie Boy influence for sure. ERIC!!!! you really need to dive into the Beastie Boys! Go with Paul Revere, Brass Monkey, Sabotage. You will hear a lot of similarities between this song and those from the Beastie Boys.
i need to catch up with your reaction vids. you guys are funny, and great personalities.
The whole Beastie Boys License to Ill album is pure fire and plays a critical role in hip hop history. They even discovered LL Cool J and got him hooked up to Def Jam. Start with their song "Paul Revere", it's a clinic in rap storytelling.
