First genesis reaction I’ve seen where someone actually wants to pick through it. So many bits get me. The “uhuh, mmhmm” The guttural “ahah” when ren jumps up from his chair. Love every version of this track, nice reaction 👌
Love Ren's music. "Money game 1 & 2", " Chalk Outlines' with Chinchilla live , a little blues music of Sam Tompkins & Ren - Earned it / Mans world/Falling is amazing. Well, all of them are amazing. Thanks, Cliff. Have a great day.
Ren pins his lyrics as the first comment on his videos. If you miss anything, it’s really worth reading them, his words are always smart and poetic. Thanks Cliff!
At the start where he looks like he is going to eat the chips is also part of his story. He can eat chicken and a few vegetables only. This sets the scene for his describing the rest of this reflection. Powerful.
Cliff Beats. You will find this helpful. It was written in 2016 and is still online today. Headline: “Lyme disease forces musician to give up his dream career with Sony after devastating symptoms leave him bedbound for 23 hours a day.”
It's the little nuances isn' it, a msg in every scene and verse. Ren is an enigma. I hate to compare, but he does play guitar like a God, sings like a freaking Angel, writes songs like he's Shakespeare, storytells them like he's hired by the KIng to entertain him. Rap's like he's standing next to Eminem and TechN9ne. Acts like he's an Oscar's nominee. Produces like he's Dre. Addresses all humanities issues, and with honesty, and a rawness. Jaw on the floor good. A once in every 20 years artist/band. Who can appeal to a 16 year old and an 80 year simultaneously. Incredible. And........... an artist who no-one can box or label. Peace and love fellow Ren disciple, @JW, if I was gonna join a cult, it would be Ren's, I raise my fist to the anti capitalistic pi**ed. His lyrics and bars are spot on phew. Needing a scuba tank I been so long down Ren's rabbit hole😂
@@zed4225 I have to agree. I’m a card carrying cult member myself. New track dropping on his birthday, the 29th March. He said it’s going to be a banger.
Absolutely, the other rap retakes are fire as well. The only thing is that he doesn't own the rights for the beats for those, have to be honest to Cliff after so much support :). I saw other reactors reacting to them though, don't know how it works. Would love to watch Cliff analyzing them of course.
I am thankful that we have platform's like this that allows music to be seen,cause I never would have known artists like Ren and others,cause this Ren music is a blessing, I normally don't listen to heavy accents artists, no disrespect it's because I can't follow the lyrics and that's pointless to just like a beat....But he's crisp and clear,the guy is so musically talented
I was very hard of hearing since birth, I have Bluetooth hearing aids now. I just got in the habit of reading the lyrics, that habit stays with me, even though the hearing aids make words much clearer .
@@toniyoung5131 I am with you,I enjoy lyric videos the most,seeing it as the artist says it gives me a better understanding with what they are saying and I can follow the message/meaning of the content,hell the more lyrical artists I'll listen to a new track a few times pick up what i can then i get om here to my go to's and get all that I missed,alot of times I'll watch same song from 4 different reactors and get 4 different takes but then I'll piece shit together to get 1 final thought on that song.....sorry for the book i just replied with lol damn music will do that
Ren was misdiagnosed years ago , he was bed ridden with 23hrs in bed. He was sycotic with alot of mental illness, he also had alot of general illness. 7 years after it started he was told he had been bitten by a Tick and had Lyme Disease, Ren is in Canada for special treatment possibly including operations. I'm sure we all wish him well and that the Canadian treatment helps.
Ya its soo sad but it's true he did get dropped as soon as they heard he was ill... this man is a lyrical genius and paints such vivid imagery when he tells his stories... love his music and it hits home for me on some topics and I try and share his music with anyone I know dealing with similar things in their life... listen to his music and everyone has something they can relate to in them.... props for the reaction bro and props to ren for doing what he does best 👌
Based on intererviews as devastated as he was to be dropped from the label it was that the clock ran out on it. He got sick right after he got signed and didnt recover in time to release anything he had started working on with them. All of the hard feelings are towards his disease and the misdiagnoses that robbed him of all of those years and thinking he had missed the boat and it would never happen for him. That's what so much of the negative voice in Hi Ren is about. A decade plus of being tortured by that gremlin convincing him it was over and not worth trying. That his sense of his talent was inflated. Gaslighting himself into nearly giving up on life not just music.
Awesome reaction as always. Love this one!!😍 It seems to me Ren has one of them majestic minds. The double sides of it makes it a dangerous place at times but he is proving to be able to guide it pretty even now. Praying for his health to return to him well too! Cannot wait to see watcha got next! Peace and love always until there is no more!😊❤
Great Reaction! Yeah great tune! Ren is so amazing, I agree we shud all be pushing him out to everyone we know! His stuff w The Big Push is pretty awesome too… watching him play the bass like a lead guitar blows me away. Love ya ‘Beats’! Keep grinding’!! 🔥🔥 Jonathan
Thank you. I'm down the Ren rabbit hole too and it's great to find other people that feel the same way. I'm kind of blown away by him and have to stop myself watching too many videos because I have ADHD and I can get pretty hyper focused on things I like and then i can't actually focus on anything else! I'm dreaming about tracksuits at this point due to watching so many reactions to his music!
I'm spitting bars and humming beats quietly at work, as it seems Ive listened to Ren so much, Ren is imprinting on my brain, insane in the membrane hehe. No complaints here. If going to focus on something I'd go with Ren too
Great reaction. I hope TH-cam leaves you well alone at the moment. A lot of reactors are having issues with TH-cam restrictions and blocking. I'm always looking forward to your reactions 🖤
Fire reaction and analysis as usual! I really enjoy it man, thanks a lot. Next, Ren-Power (another rap song, not part of this album he is releasing, a separate single he did 8-9 months ago I think) please.
Hi Cliff so glad you’ve found Ren, amazing artist. The videos are all made in Brighton, my home town, You really need to check out chalk outlines and the tale of Jenny and screech, a trilogy, and play in order of Jenny’s tale, screech’s tale and violets tale amazing story telling
As always love your reaction. Ren is supernatural, seriously. I haven't heard one song that isn't absolutely beautiful art. I love that you talk about mental health, it's so important to have these conversations. It saves people's lives to talk about it. 🫂🫶✡️🕉
New subscriber here really love your reactions! Power and Money game pt 2 are also great songs of his. You should also check out some of his lives - a couple of my faves are a cover of 'I shot the sheriff' with his band and blind eyed with Sam tompkins. Have a great day :)
I think in the last few lines of the opening "I'm put on life support, I've been put up on a higher shelf" he's talking about the people around him. A very common theme for mental health is those around you compensating for you, hence the life support, and setting high expectations for you, hence the higher shelf. I think it's supposed to be a commentary on how those things can be detrimental. Falling short of those expectations, or learning to rely on that life support too much can be just as bad as the mental health in the first place. The whole song is amazing but those two lines always hit home for me.
Ren & Sam Tompkins Earned it/Man's World/Falling its a street performance that'll absolutely blow you away ....like KC &JoJo ain't got shit on then 2 lol them boys getting down in those streets ,never seen a crowd as big as that like a damn concert crowd
Chalk outlines live with Chinchilla is a great suggestion but if you fancy seeing the fun side of Ren going old school and tipping his hat towards the Beastie Boys then try 'What You Want'. m.th-cam.com/video/jrjp4Du0rEc/w-d-xo.html
Please do money game 1 and 2. Those are really good. I really enjoy your reactions. They are so authentic and I love that you always support all people! Lots of love from Germany :)
Impossible for me to pickREN’s best track but Genesis has to be up there. Amazing track that every time I listen to it makes me think. Love it. Great reaction.
Thank you so much! I’m glad you’re enjoying watching with me! This whole channel is about love and helping artists spread their message! I’m always here for you too! It’s all love 🙏
lmao i remember first watching this and being so shook by “pupils dilate in the dark, people die late in the dark” and now it’s so exciting to watch other people discover his music. i’d do anything to experience violets tale again for the first time
Ren is a National Treasure simple.
Hes a world treasure. I'm convinced he's the most talented person on the planet and I mean talent of any kind
@@davebrown9707he definitely arguably the most talented in multiple departments. Being able to spit bars, story tell, beatbox, play instruments... And have such a sick voice with the versatility to do Jamaican/EDM/balleds/punk... He's insane
'Chalk Outlines' live with ' Chinchilla' would be a great next,there's also a few vids of them busking together that are great also
Yes I can't get that song out of my head it's so beautiful
It shows a different side to his talents... a real ear worm tune.
I agree. I sang it all day.
I called that one out a couple times too, one of my favorite Ren tracks
Dont cry. There's a pill for everything
This dude is so damn good, he's got us all addicted now. He's a poet, singer, a substance mc, a chopper, a true artist 💪 just pray life gets easier for him cuz we need him here 🙏✊
And blowing off the ceiling
With rhymes that I’m revealing
Producer, poet, singer song writer with the feeling
I split the wicket cricket team
Im beating it like billy jean
Its time for heroes libertines
I stretch your minds like limousines
I rip the scripture spitting quick that splits an atom spoken wit and I’m
dope and gold and poking holes in MCs like a voodoo kit
A brit that's lit this misfit brit that chits the chat a strategist
a passionate blasphemous alchemist molding a manuscript
Have you seen his acoustic version of this ? Fire !
100, absolute fire
"What You Want" by Ren is freakin' awesome. Definetly check that one out.
Cool old school shit, really! A bit of a change of mood as well, not all of his stuff is dark.
Shout out to the Beastie Boys
First genesis reaction I’ve seen where someone actually wants to pick through it. So many bits get me.
The “uhuh, mmhmm”
The guttural “ahah” when ren jumps up from his chair.
Love every version of this track, nice reaction 👌
Ren - Love music 1 2 & 3 👌
Love Ren's music. "Money game 1 & 2", " Chalk Outlines' with Chinchilla live , a little blues music of Sam Tompkins & Ren - Earned it / Mans world/Falling is amazing. Well, all of them are amazing. Thanks, Cliff. Have a great day.
So so many people sleep on this track but it is insanely good, I must have listened to this hundreds of times.
Love your support for Ren brother.
And your support for independent music and talent.
What you want & Power by REN 👍🏻🔥🔥
I found him 2 weeks ago and I haven't listened to anything else. He is incredible. Diazipam is deep but very good.
I'm a Ren addict now!!! Seriously amazing 🔥
🎉Congratulations 180K🎉 Here for you and #ren always ❤️
need to check out 🙏🏼 Money game pt 1 and Humble 🔥💯 love the reaction 👊🏼Thx ✌🏼
I'm convinced we are watching the most impactful artist of our lifetime come to form in Ren.
This belongs on the radio immediately!
Ren pins his lyrics as the first comment on his videos. If you miss anything, it’s really worth reading them, his words are always smart and poetic. Thanks Cliff!
The Hunger will blow you away!!

Search it - exactly those words. It will answer some of your questions
It's the little nuances isn' it, a msg in every scene and verse.
Ren is an enigma.
I hate to compare, but he does play guitar like a God, sings like a freaking Angel, writes songs like he's Shakespeare, storytells them like he's hired by the KIng to entertain him. Rap's like he's standing next to Eminem and TechN9ne. Acts like he's an Oscar's nominee. Produces like he's Dre. Addresses all humanities issues, and with honesty, and a rawness.
Jaw on the floor good. A once in every 20 years artist/band. Who can appeal to a 16 year old and an 80 year simultaneously. Incredible. And........... an artist who no-one can box or label.
Peace and love fellow Ren disciple, @JW, if I was gonna join a cult, it would be Ren's, I raise my fist to the anti capitalistic pi**ed.
His lyrics and bars are spot on phew. Needing a scuba tank I been so long down Ren's rabbit hole😂
@@zed4225 I have to agree. I’m a card carrying cult member myself. New track dropping on his birthday, the 29th March. He said it’s going to be a banger.
Yes, Chalk Outlines and Sick Boi are 2 of my favorites. I just discovered Ren and now he is my favorite artists.
Check out Ren "Losing it" its hip hop on steroids 💯 🔥
I second this 🔥🔥🔥its sooo good x
Absolutely, the other rap retakes are fire as well. The only thing is that he doesn't own the rights for the beats for those, have to be honest to Cliff after so much support :).

@@nondetection8882 I’ve seen a few ppl reactin to his retakes as well so don’t think it matters too much, I honestly have no idea though lol xxx
I LOVE the little hums in the middle of the song. Idk why, but it's my favorite part.
I am thankful that we have platform's like this that allows music to be seen,cause I never would have known artists like Ren and others,cause this Ren music is a blessing, I normally don't listen to heavy accents artists, no disrespect it's because I can't follow the lyrics and that's pointless to just like a beat....But he's crisp and clear,the guy is so musically talented

I think it won't be very long before Ren is a household name!
Knew this one would be coming, the live acoustic version is fire
Penitence, blind eye, latch🔥
His entire catalog is fire! Been wearing Spotify out since I ran across Ren.
This was the first song I stumbled across of Rens a few months ago and I've been obsessed ever since with his work. I absolutely love this song.
Cliff, so glad you’re taking this journey. I’m so here for it. Thank you. ✌🏻❤️😊
Thank you ❤❤❤❤
Thanks Cliff,definitely here to follow your Ren journey ❤
The HUNGER!! Have u done that one yet?? It’s crazy good! Oh I see you did!! And I watched it already! I gotta lay if the weed! 😂😂😂😂
Dude, you are lovely. I come for the Ren reactions and always leave feeling how great it is that someone cares as much as you do
you should check out ren and sam tompkins blind eyes (live)

Keep it going with Ren. Respect Bro' 🎯💯🎵🔥
I’ve gone down the Ren rabbit hole too. This guy’s music and artistry is so captivating. Nothing mainstream comes close.
Oh and you are amazing telling ppl they can hit you up if feeling crap. That’s a really big deal. Kudos. ❤
Love your reactions.
Enjoying the ride along! ✨
This is the very first song i heard from him and immediately fell in love with Ren ♥️♥️♥️
Ren is insane, love the beat and the deeper meaning of genesis but money game has to be the most underrated song on the planet.
You are seriously so genuine! 🥰🥰🥰 The shoutouts are amazing!
Awesome reaction as always.
Love this one!!😍
It seems to me Ren has one of them majestic minds. The double sides of it makes it a dangerous place at times but he is proving to be able to guide it pretty even now. Praying for his health to return to him well too!

Peace and love always until there is no more!😊❤
Noah was late for the Ark........ maybe the most underrated bar ever. ❤🔥🍻

Losing It is incredible. Check that out when you can!
Great reaction. I hope TH-cam leaves you well alone at the moment. A lot of reactors are having issues with TH-cam restrictions and blocking. I'm always looking forward to your reactions 🖤
Great reaction man. Love Rens wordplay in this song.
When those 808s drop in my brain melts 🤯❤
You’ve done him proud ! What a catalog
This kid is so entertaining! I’m loving this journey
So glad everyone is finding Ren! Cliff thanks for the reactions 🔥 as always. 🤍
THIS IS A HIT.
Power, What You Want, Money Game 1&2... so many bangers!
Fire reaction and analysis as usual! I really enjoy it man, thanks a lot. Next, Ren-Power (another rap song, not part of this album he is releasing, a separate single he did 8-9 months ago I think) please.
Keep it going Cliff! Long time fan & love your reactions more than 99.9% of TH-cam reation channels!
Idk how I missed your reaction to this one. Genisis is prob my fav... Love this.
Haha "people die late in the dark" I never noticed untill you pointed it out! Brilliant! P.s. I always think your profile pic is an alien 👽🎧
Love seeing a Brighton lad doing bits 🔥
just subscribed after watching a lot of your reviews. This man is a genius.
Glad to have you! Thank you so much for the love 🙏
Great :) I love this song and honestly ...your reactions to Ren too ;)
In a world where everyone is so negative on social media it’s refreshing to see someone be positive. Keep up the good work
Hi Cliff so glad you’ve found Ren, amazing artist. The videos are all made in Brighton, my home town, You really need to check out chalk outlines and the tale of Jenny and screech, a trilogy, and play in order of Jenny’s tale, screech’s tale and violets tale amazing story telling
Yay I was hoping you’d check this one out🎉
Yes! One of my favorites! I play this one at least once every day. Those views are going to keep growing! Loved your reaction Cliff!
“Pupils dilate, people die late”. Another great react 🖤
im here, late i now, but im here, i told you i would be Cliff, keep em coming
So refreshing 😊 I love Ren his lyrics are amazing
Sammy and Ren when a man loves a women xx you will be surprised, also u will love it xx ❤️🐢❤️ xx
Try watching his live acoustic version of this, also try 'How to be me' live with Cinchilla it will give you a good idea of what he is capable of.
As always love your reaction. Ren is supernatural, seriously. I haven't heard one song that isn't absolutely beautiful art. I love that you talk about mental health, it's so important to have these conversations. It saves people's lives to talk about it. 🫂🫶✡️🕉
Check out his live version of this song, he sings the hook bit 🤯🔥
Still crazy they just send you on your way after they dilated my eyes . They put so much in I had to take off of work the next day because of it.
Yes!!!!!! I love Genesis!!!
Yes, the low views are criminal.
He doesn't miss

Gotta do what went wrong part 1 and 2. They are my favorite Ren songs
I agree with you 100%!!!!
Sam and Ren busking, so joyful !
Thank you, I haven't have someone tell me they love me for sometime and then feel it. Peace brother, I love also.
You'll have to watch Ren's Genesis (Live acoustic) and Genesis (Drum and bass remix) videos which are also excellent!
THAT beat omg i thumping this in the car ...got to get my DJ to play this at work.
gah damn...
Ren & Sam Tompkins Earned it/Man's World/Falling its a street performance that'll absolutely blow you away ....like KC &JoJo ain't got shit on then 2 lol them boys getting down in those streets ,never seen a crowd as big as that like a damn concert crowd
Chalk outlines live with Chinchilla is a great suggestion but if you fancy seeing the fun side of Ren going old school and tipping his hat towards the Beastie Boys then try 'What You Want'.

Gotta get the" What you want ".....Beastie Boys homage
It's a joy to be a part of the Ren-aissance!
Can’t stop crying in a good way to ren and chinchilla how to be me
Ren is absolutely superb!
Impossible for me to pickREN’s best track but Genesis has to be up there. Amazing track that every time I listen to it makes me think. Love it. Great reaction.
