What else should we react to? 🤔 Comment below! Also if you like the song in the intro check out my new song “I Need A Minute” now! th-cam.com/video/gjFZIaOv_x8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=w14NQF9jEsOjbPQh
The big push is not just about a cover band, their original stuff is amazing too Please react to their song Precious, there’s no where near enough ppl react to that song I swear
Oh wow! Time has come to stop denying yourself the joys of The Big Push! Yay! Yes - I think Ren messed up (sorry, switched up) the lyrics at the end of Hip Hop and you’re the only reactor (that I’ve seen) who’s picked up on this. It’s not an issue at all, of course, and takes nothing away from this magnificent mash-up of covers, but I can let my mind be at peace now knowing that if Knox Hill says they’re switched up, then I can stop doubting myself! I think you’d like their cover of Bongo Bong. ❤
That 'little bit of luck' part is most known in the UK as a garage song called 'Little Bit of Luck' by DJ Luck and MC Neat in like 1999 or 2000. But you're right, Bugzy did re-use it in 2017 for 'Through The Night' :)
Romain Axisa is the dude on the solo. He has his own fire music as well but more rock/folk. You should just look into each band member, they each are amazing. It's Alright is my favorite Big Push song but is completely different than most their other music.
Wow! For some reason I thought you had already reacted to this 😂 You need to do the big push version of warpigs and also wade in the water....both killer performances but the whole band
Can listen to these guys for weeks without getting bored. Absolutely love Ren's solo stuff but praying these guys get back together...like a shot of joy to the heart 😍
This is one of the boys' best performances. Ren's vocals and Romain's un abashed joy during his solos is just luscious! So was watching you just enjoy without the need to break it all down, Knox! ❤️
I was just rewatching some of your Ren reactions yesterday and was all “wait has Knox not checked out The Big Push yet?” And here we are! Fucking loved the intro of recognising our favourite boi Dave 🤣
Thanks Knox! Did you chose Ren today because it's his #HiRenniversary ? Ha Ps the " I think his name is Dave " part was hilarious 😂And love Romains part too!❤
This is such a great performance. I’m always jealous of the audience ❤ You know you’re a great guitarist when you are playing the solo in a band with Ren🔥 Great reaction Knox😊
As a band they never miss, every cover has their own flavour with sound design and the originals all slap. "Wade in the water/Nina Simone/ Trouble so hard" is my fav, it's pure soul and blues.
What a great channel you have created Knox, please, please react to The Big Push 3 original tracks that hardly anybody reacts to, Precious, Swan Song and Icarus, 3 different genres and 3 bangers, please do all 3 in one post, it would be heaven.
Now you've done it... not only did you do a Big Push but asked for recommendation. War Pigs, Swan Song, English Man in New York, Bongo Bongo, Praise You, Why My Woman... there's so many. All amazing. Although I still don't see Ren's Crutch - with Bibi on your channel?
I can not belive you have not react it before. This is so fire. I want just a full version of hip hop singed by ran. I give dead prez all my respect, but i love this version more 🔥🔥🔥
I've been waiting forever for this one!! ❤ The Big Push made me so proud to be a Bob Marley fan! Thanks for doing this Knox!! Love hearing your thoughts on things.
Love this, I've watched it so many times and don't get fed up with it, love the stuff done in their flat just sitting around, English man in New York , bongo bong and Praise You are amazing, then there is Watch Out their own song, War Pigs and Paint it Black from the same busking session. In the UK all their music is on Amazon prime
One of the many things I admire about Ren is that he's responsible for me meeting The Big Push. Their catalogue is so deep and wide, the musicianship of all the members is off the chain, and the musical chemistry between them makes it all work. If you're going to go down this rabbit hole, I'm here for it.
Don't think I've ever seen yoh so excited &full of Renergy as when he upped the Hip, Hop! The Little Bit of Luck was DJ Luck & MC Neat from the UK Garage scene - but true to Ren added his own flavour "With a little bit of Love" 💕
Probably one of the best live bands I've seen, and they're busking! What a gig! You should react to the other tracks they do on same day - awesome stuff!
" I need to pay for the privelage of seeing this" Yessss. I was thinking the same thing as I reacted to this, just didn't end up saying it out loud! Such a fantastic performance, and just imagine the energy exchange happening in the crowd! Always enjoy watching your reactions!
you know what, it was nice to see you enjoy the performance as much as you did and not have to breakdown lyrics for a change. Also 'little bit of luck' taken from DJ luck and MC Neat a UK garage tune i think. Great vid as always, thanks .
Within 30 seconds, Knox went from being a reactor and analyzing the song to just relaxing and just straight up vibing to this jam. Knox, just be careful, their next song/medley from this set features Black Sabbath's "War Pigs" and tends to "punch people in the face".
Loved you reaction and glad to see you. Was going to email you that this is Ren's 1yr anniversary of Hi Ren and hope you'd do a Ren reaction and there you are!
That IS what The Big Push is about so you should definitely check out some more of their stuff, both original songs and busking videos. It’s a very rewarding rabbit hole to dive down ❤
I think Dave is an ok musician. With a little bit of practice he might make an album that makes number 1. Also their rendition of War Pigs from the same gig (yes im calling it a gig because that is what it is) is one to watch too.
Thank you so much for reacting to this, Knox! Like many others (who try not to miss anyone reacting to this amazing performance), I was missing and waiting for your take on this. Your obvious joy and familiarity and participation was so much fun, that I watched it twice in a row! (OK, even more than that...!). Please do react to more of The Big Push; both their originals (all good; my personal favorite “It’s Alright”, which contrasts nicely with Ren’s older classic beauty “It’s Alright”) and their covers. A lot of reactors continue that same legendary “red suspenders” busking session with War Pigs (ending is just “chef’s kiss” relevant today) and Paint it Black and Watch Out. Swan Song is amazing and different... you get the drift! ;)
Honestly, my favorite video on TH-cam. Everything in it is a vibe, and I dig that vibe, whatever it is. Love the feeling expressed through the guitar, both Ren and Romain. The live, free music everyone is clearly enjoying. Everything you’re looking for all wrapped up in a bow. So damn good. My other favorite is the Wade in the Water/Nina Simone/Trouble so Hard Big Push mashup. That’s fire too🔥
Shocked you hadn't done this one yet. I have seen you do so many that I figured you got to this one early on. I still go back and watch this one every now and then.
I love this! Thank you for this reaction. ❤ Just as an aside, apparently, you're my number 2 atrist on YT 😊 Ren being number 1 but hey for someone who doesn't like rap music generally that's amazing. 😊❤
❤❤❤❤ this such a vibe i was loving the rap along parts with you and dave to dead Prez. Oh man I am hoping you can check out Sam and Ren "Blind Eyed", specifically, the MC Sessions version and the Angry Car Park version :) you're gonna love it and gonna laugh ❤
Yes! I second that recommendation of those two versions,in that order, of “Blind-Eyed”! The epitome of finding Joy in life when everything seems to go wrong...
Absolutely love how they combine the original Bob Marley reggae feel with the bluesy guitar tones from the cover that Clapton did too, absolute musical geniuses 🙂
Exactly, this is the kind of performance or band I wanna go and see. I wanna here their musicality and ability to strip it back, do guitar solos/intros or whatever and build the song up, and then go ham at some points, they took us on such a sick ride, Reggae, ska, jazzy, drumbnbass, hip-hop. Love it!!!!
I see him as more of a 'Melodic Rapper' { A Ren invention? } + a really good guitarist and not bad pianist also. Genre SKIPPER! But that's exactly what Busking is!- A raw improv concert. Whenever I see this I can 'see' The Big Push in a huge arena - with the entire crowd in the palm of their hand. Can't you see it just going off!? No shade on their solo careers, but they simply HAVE to get back together! Maybe a 4 or 5 date Arena World Tour per ann.?
Brother knox!!🫡 Just commenting on this again to remind you to listen & watch this masterpiece again on days that your not feeling good or sad or drained man. Cause i know this one will give you a oh so small smile on your face whatever the situation you'll be in at that moment&time. Cause music is our way of surviving n keep going thrue life. You know it, i know it & all your fans know it. Proud of you ma guy! X love as always, Melvin
Terrific reaction. Usually (well, all the time, actually) you annoy me to distraction with the frequency of your interruptions but this time you got it about right. Fair play.
I think it might be discussed in the comments on the original video but the quality of the recording and mixing of these busking sessions is unreal. All down to Ren of course.
Today has been rubbish but it has improved loads now that you've done this! ❤ Love watching these with you and there was enough rap in it not to be too much of a departure from Dave's other stuff. 😂
I clap at the end every single time I’ve heard it played it and watched a reaction to it. No exception Professor. Your facial expressions said all. A joy to finally have your reaction to this brilliant street performance where the crowd is an intrinsic part of the magic these blokes made together. I will never forget the day I first heard these lads playing. TH-cam gave me the best musical gift ever. Cheers🍵🍵❤
What makes The Big Push such a great band is that they are all multi instrumentalists and they are all masters of their craft. They can, and they DO, switch up taking lead (vocals and guitar) WITHOUT EGO! They are so much fun to watch because they are not just “ A band” ; they are a Band of Brothers. You can feel it when they play. You can see it in the eye contact between Ren and Romain. They share a mutual respect for both the music AND each other. They play off each other’s energy and it’s impossible not have a huge smile on your face when you see and hear them. They also do a War Pigs mash up from this busking session. And for more of Rens amazing vocals check out Ren & Sam Tompkins doing Earned It/ Mans World / Fallen….PLEASE.
I have been dying to say this and it might rub some people the wrong way but, this is coming from a place of love and positivity so, please keep that in mind. I have watched this performance about a hundred times and my absolute favorite part is something that I haven't seen anyone mention. Ren is singing Bob Marley. The crowd is mostly white faces, and Romain found that one beautiful Jamaican woman in the front of the crowd and kneeled before her while he played a Bob Marley song. It is so stunning and beautiful and perfect and it gets me every single time. I see you, Romain Axisa! +1000 Rizz, as my son would say. I think nobody talks about it because they're afraid of it turning into a conversation about race and I totally understand that, as an American, in the current situation. But, I don't think it's wrong or inappropriate to shine a light on Romain acknowledging that he is a white man playing this song that we would not have without Jamaicans and Bob Marley. This is the appropriate way to acknowledge that you are aware of what you are doing and you pay respect to where you got it. It's such a perfect example of how to be humble and honorable while using something that came from another culture to your benefit. I've just always felt so moved when I see it and I don't feel like Romain is given enough flowers for such a beautiful gesture. 💐
Take a dive down Knox's videos. He has been a fan and supporter of Ren for quite some time now, with many reaction videos. However, he hasn't fallen down the rabbit hole yet of The Big Push yet, but I'm hoping that this is where this video is leading. 😊 But yeah, you should definitely check out some more of Knox reacting to Ren. He gets his music and breaks it down beautifully. ❤
What else should we react to? 🤔 Comment below! Also if you like the song in the intro check out my new song “I Need A Minute” now! th-cam.com/video/gjFZIaOv_x8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=w14NQF9jEsOjbPQh
The big push is not just about a cover band, their original stuff is amazing too
Please react to their song Precious, there’s no where near enough ppl react to that song I swear
Where is are reaction to GAWN and SHAQ Chaos
Big Push Fatboy Slim Praise you cover and War Pigs cover Pleeeeeease!❤
EVERYTHING!!! That is all! 😁
react to the rest of sick boi!!!
This Dave guy sure seems to be talented. One day he'll have a number 1 record!
It’d have to be an album, Cos they don’t play really good music like this guy Dave’s in/on the singles charts😂
Nice one 😂✌❤🐦.
Sick Boi album UK number 1..............so deserved !
🤣
Dave is a sick boi. More where that came from Knox 🐇🕳️🖤
Watching you reacting to Ren is like... as if you have found your long lost brother and you are SO proud of him ❤
I remember Ren saying in an interview that after awhile busking the Police would show up see who it was and block traffic so they could play
Glad you got round to this, Knox! Hands up who agrees this band has a tonne of unfinished business, make it happen, Ren! ✋
🙌🏻🙌🏻
Yes ! 100% ♥️
✋
✋️✋️✋️✋️
Next at this venue is a black sabbath and Rage against the Machine mash up .Brilliant. honestly.
whoever doesn't bobble their head during this song is dead inside
Oh wow! Time has come to stop denying yourself the joys of The Big Push! Yay!
Yes - I think Ren messed up (sorry, switched up) the lyrics at the end of Hip Hop and you’re the only reactor (that I’ve seen) who’s picked up on this. It’s not an issue at all, of course, and takes nothing away from this magnificent mash-up of covers, but I can let my mind be at peace now knowing that if Knox Hill says they’re switched up, then I can stop doubting myself!
I think you’d like their cover of Bongo Bong. ❤
And they went from this into "War Pigs" . . . and "Paint It Black". Epic day of busking in Brighton.
My favorite busking session from these guys. So good, Ren really channeled his inner Bob Marley on this one
Ren really shines in this video
That 'little bit of luck' part is most known in the UK as a garage song called 'Little Bit of Luck' by DJ Luck and MC Neat in like 1999 or 2000. But you're right, Bugzy did re-use it in 2017 for 'Through The Night' :)
Romain Axisa is the dude on the solo. He has his own fire music as well but more rock/folk.
You should just look into each band member, they each are amazing.
It's Alright is my favorite Big Push song but is completely different than most their other music.
FINALLY!!! LOL...next is War Pigs from this same busking session. Will blow your mind.
Knox, I don't think I've ever seen you so giddy as when they dropped into DeadPrez. This is what Ren does. Pure joy pouring out.
Wow! For some reason I thought you had already reacted to this 😂
You need to do the big push version of warpigs and also wade in the water....both killer performances but the whole band
The Big Push’s take on Bongo Bong is a must listen
Can listen to these guys for weeks without getting bored. Absolutely love Ren's solo stuff but praying these guys get back together...like a shot of joy to the heart 😍
It was so much fun watching it with you and seeing you enjoying it.
This is one of the boys' best performances. Ren's vocals and Romain's un abashed joy during his solos is just luscious! So was watching you just enjoy without the need to break it all down, Knox! ❤️
As talented as Ren is, I think Romain is better on the guitar. That solo was a pure joy to witness.
I was just rewatching some of your Ren reactions yesterday and was all “wait has Knox not checked out The Big Push yet?” And here we are! Fucking loved the intro of recognising our favourite boi Dave 🤣
Thanks Knox! Did you chose Ren today because it's his #HiRenniversary ? Ha
Ps the " I think his name is Dave " part was hilarious 😂And love Romains part too!❤
This is such a great performance. I’m always jealous of the audience ❤
You know you’re a great guitarist when you are playing the solo in a band with Ren🔥
Great reaction Knox😊
girl same.
You MUST DO BLIND- EYED with Sam Tompkins. Ren said so. MC version maybe?? They are all good.
@@francesdoll4039 The parking garage version of that song is simply amazing!
As a band they never miss, every cover has their own flavour with sound design and the originals all slap. "Wade in the water/Nina Simone/ Trouble so hard" is my fav, it's pure soul and blues.
This looks like such a magical day - glad you finally got to see it!
Here for this, best performance imo
Shout out to Dave
😂😂
C'est REN pas Dave pourquoi Dave qui est-ce svp
What a great channel you have created Knox, please, please react to The Big Push 3 original tracks that hardly anybody reacts to, Precious, Swan Song and Icarus, 3 different genres and 3 bangers, please do all 3 in one post, it would be heaven.
I would love to see what Dead Prez thinks of this performance
Now you've done it... not only did you do a Big Push but asked for recommendation. War Pigs, Swan Song, English Man in New York, Bongo Bongo, Praise You, Why My Woman... there's so many. All amazing. Although I still don't see Ren's Crutch - with Bibi on your channel?
There is a video visualizer of Seven Sins that someone just made. Awesome visuals. I thought it was just Bob Marley's son who sang this.
I can not belive you have not react it before. This is so fire. I want just a full version of hip hop singed by ran. I give dead prez all my respect, but i love this version more 🔥🔥🔥
Me too!!!!
I love Romain solo,also. ❤❤
I've been waiting forever for this one!! ❤ The Big Push made me so proud to be a Bob Marley fan! Thanks for doing this Knox!! Love hearing your thoughts on things.
Whatttttttt this is your Big Push cherry? So good
Love this, I've watched it so many times and don't get fed up with it, love the stuff done in their flat just sitting around, English man in New York , bongo bong and Praise You are amazing, then there is Watch Out their own song, War Pigs and Paint it Black from the same busking session. In the UK all their music is on Amazon prime
Honestly, never thought someone would be able to perform this song even better than Marley himself. But he did it!!! 🎉😂❤
At Last!!! And the perfect reaction. Wade in the Water/ Nina Simone is incredible ( Bongo Bong will life anyone's spirit sky high )
Ren is the definition of a genuine artist
One of my fav Ren ('Dave')😆/The Big Push busking videos ;-) thanks, Knox! ❤️🔥
The set finale "Paint it black" is the best version. So unhinged.
The middle part was "A little bit of luck" from "Dj Luck & MC Neat" btw
His voice is like Sting’s. And The Police are one of his favourite bands.
“Dave” 😂
Thanks Knox
Soooooo many of us love this one
I’m glad you did also
I hope you and your family are well
Take care man
Daz

So glad you got to this one. The amount of talent here is off the charts ❤
this and swan song are my favourite big push songs thank you for reacting ❤❤❤
This whole month is me getting the chills all over again dipping back into the Ren music I discovered last year after Hi Ren was released.. so good
Props to their drummer, too. He was a perfect fit for them.
I needed this today!!!! Great live music. Ren, please get well, we need you busking again. We will be waiting. Great reaction Knox!!
you know what, it was nice to see you enjoy the performance as much as you did and not have to breakdown lyrics for a change. Also 'little bit of luck' taken from DJ luck and MC Neat a UK garage tune i think.
Great vid as always, thanks .
Knox mate you're gonna have to hand in that honorary Brit card for not knowing that lol
I loved watching how much you enjoyed this. The Big Push have so much great stuff! Please do more of them.
Takes me back to sitting on a beach at a restaurant for lunch in Hawaii listening to a live band. Such cool vibes! 😎 🏝️
There are so many great TBP videos but this is still my favorite. Thanks Knox
Within 30 seconds, Knox went from being a reactor and analyzing the song to just relaxing and just straight up vibing to this jam.
Knox, just be careful, their next song/medley from this set features Black Sabbath's "War Pigs" and tends to "punch people in the face".
Listen to his first band Trick the Fox. He was around 22.
Wow, just wow. That was an extraclass Performance. Entrance fee needed here!
As a band, they are so tight.
The man is the Swiss Army Knife of music…
Loved you reaction and glad to see you. Was going to email you that this is Ren's 1yr anniversary of Hi Ren and hope you'd do a Ren reaction and there you are!
Ren & Sam Tompkins earned it/mans world
Please react to Blind Eyed with Ren and Sam. Specifically, the live version on the street. It's amazing.
Repeat, Amazing!
Yes! Love that one too!
Ahhh where’s the LOVE button thank you for doing this one KH!! xoxo
That IS what The Big Push is about so you should definitely check out some more of their stuff, both original songs and busking videos. It’s a very rewarding rabbit hole to dive down ❤
I think Dave is an ok musician. With a little bit of practice he might make an album that makes number 1. Also their rendition of War Pigs from the same gig (yes im calling it a gig because that is what it is) is one to watch too.

Ren and Romain 💯
Both at the top of the list 4 sure:)
I can't believe you hadn't seen this one! One of my favorites! ❤
Dang, I just watched this again and I think it is my favorite reaction to red suspenders session. Just the best. Im now happy this Saturday morning
So fun... Love when you can tell the reactor is genuinely having a great time.
Great reaction!! it would be awesome if you could react to Blind eyed by Ren and Sam :) ps. the one with the angry car attendant is great!!
Great reaction. Loved how much you enjoyed it. You've got to do more of Dave and the Big Push😊😊
Shocked you hadn't done this one yet. I have seen you do so many that I figured you got to this one early on. I still go back and watch this one every now and then.
This is one epic cover, giving Matisyahu vibes but has his own flair respectfully 🙏👆💚💛♥️
I love this! Thank you for this reaction. ❤
Just as an aside, apparently, you're my number 2 atrist on YT 😊 Ren being number 1 but hey for someone who doesn't like rap music generally that's amazing. 😊❤
Same. :) and Chinch #3
❤❤❤❤ this such a vibe i was loving the rap along parts with you and dave to dead Prez. Oh man I am hoping you can check out Sam and Ren "Blind Eyed", specifically, the MC Sessions version and the Angry Car Park version :) you're gonna love it and gonna laugh ❤
Yes! I second that recommendation of those two versions,in that order, of “Blind-Eyed”! The epitome of finding Joy in life when everything seems to go wrong...
You just got to react to "The Big Push - Bongo Bong (Manu Chao cover)" How much fun can you have on a rooftop?
Absolutely love how they combine the original Bob Marley reggae feel with the bluesy guitar tones from the cover that Clapton did too, absolute musical geniuses 🙂
Exactly, this is the kind of performance or band I wanna go and see. I wanna here their musicality and ability to strip it back, do guitar solos/intros or whatever and build the song up, and then go ham at some points, they took us on such a sick ride, Reggae, ska, jazzy, drumbnbass, hip-hop. Love it!!!!

Defo need more of Dave and crew! They’re fab. Dave does switch up lyrics and makes them his own quite frequently. 🖤
Think I need to check out this Dave guy 😂 I'm excited that he just announced a new album is ready to go 😊
Brother knox!!🫡
Just commenting on this again to remind you to listen & watch this masterpiece again on days that your not feeling good or sad or drained man.
Cause i know this one will give you a oh so small smile on your face whatever the situation you'll be in at that moment&time.
Cause music is our way of surviving n keep going thrue life. You know it, i know it & all your fans know it.
Proud of you ma guy!
X love as always,
Melvin
Wow!! Way over Due!!
Terrific reaction. Usually (well, all the time, actually) you annoy me to distraction with the frequency of your interruptions but this time you got it about right. Fair play.
THANK YOU for not pausing it during Romain's first solo cause that shit is G as fuck and PURE GOLD!!!!
I think it might be discussed in the comments on the original video but the quality of the recording and mixing of these busking sessions is unreal. All down to Ren of course.
Loved your utter abandoned joy in this reaction Knox❤😊
Perfection. The perfect mash up perfectly delivered.
Today has been rubbish but it has improved loads now that you've done this! ❤ Love watching these with you and there was enough rap in it not to be too much of a departure from Dave's other stuff. 😂
YEs, so glad you got onto this

What makes The Big Push such a great band is that they are all multi instrumentalists and they are all masters of their craft.

@@nubien9 ~ All love and nothing but love, my friend. Thank you for hearing my words and understanding my heart. Blessings. ❤️
Lovely comment!
@@oldgreymare3677 ~ Thank you. I just really am impressed by Romain's presence of mind, in the moment, to see her and know exactly what to do. ❤️
Such an amazing performance! Right after this they went into War Pigs, which is also worth checking out. Thanks for reacting to this one ❤❤
That Dave guy also does a great job on Wade in the Water
Dude...watching you get into this music put a huge smile on my face. I was right here nodding along with you. Great reaction, bro!
Ugh I am so happy your finally got around to Ren. An exceptional artist and one I would love to see you react to more.
Take a dive down Knox's videos. He has been a fan and supporter of Ren for quite some time now, with many reaction videos. However, he hasn't fallen down the rabbit hole yet of The Big Push yet, but I'm hoping that this is where this video is leading. 😊 But yeah, you should definitely check out some more of Knox reacting to Ren. He gets his music and breaks it down beautifully. ❤
