I found this many Beasts/Monsters/Murderers that are mentioned/referenced in "Losing It" 1. Fee fee, fi fi, fo fo, fum - Giant from Jack & the Beanstalk 2. Scooby Doo - & Crew hunt Monsters 3. Ghost 4. Poltergeist 5. I’m a Demon 6. Morgan Freeman - imprisoned for murder in Shawshank Redemption. 7. Rag and Bone Man - known as the bone-grubber, bone-picker. 8. Macbeth - the protagonist is a monster due to the murders he committed. 9. A Werewolf out in the moonlight 10. A blood sucking parasite - Lyme Disease Tick 11. Vampire 12. Venom - Marvel Universe 13. Pop one, pop two, drop three men redlight/greenlight - Squid Games Murders 14. Godzilla 15. Gorilla in the Jungle - King Kong 16. Bear in the Wood - Grizzly 17. Mordor Lord - Sauron 18. Nazgul - Dark Servants of Sauron 19. The Devil There are many other groupings like Actors/Films, Singers/Songs & of course Sexual Innuendo lol. Oh and double & Triple entendre sprinkled everywhere thru the lyrics.
pink floyd, movie, the wall, i even think it is the start of the movie, but: vacum cleaner sound and chatter, camera pick up and floor view all the way to pink. same start of video, if u seen movie, u know . )) ans btw, his outfit is a hint to, i just cant place it
I'm a full on metal and rock fan but this is one of my favourite Ren songs, the video is so brilliant in every way!! It's fun and groovy - just love it, so many cultural references. Glad you reacted to this one, knew you'd love it.
This one is so much fun!! It’s not easy to rap over an EDM beat, but he likes to challenge himself. But I also love that he had so much fun putting this video together! So creative
Dope reaction!! The Rhythm The Rebel - 1988 Chuck D, Public Enemy “Rebel Without a Pause” Dope f’kn track. In 1991 R.A.F. dropped Chuck D’s rap into house music track. Then 2022 Ren raps over Fischer’s 2018 EDM beats. “Bring that beat back…” 🤘🏼🎧🤟🏼
Whoever they are that say REN is “bad”, (I assume they mean lacking talent) are obviously either lacking taste & musical knowledge or sad & angry little humans who strive to be as talented but fail, or they’re both! His talent shines out like a lighthouse beam on a dark night. Those people might strive for such gifts, but with uptight, jealous, angry little minds as they obviously have, they’ll never gain the love & respect that REN has. He has friends that help him achieve his dreams, with little or no thought of what they get out of it, they do it all for him, ‘cos they care. And only a genuinely kind, charismatic & big hearted person has friends like that. REN is gifted young man & such gifts deserve all the rewards the “entertainment industry” can provide! Love your breakdowns & reactions, you’re one of the few that “get” all Ren’s content, thank you. Love from Annie, in Cornwall, UK🙂🌸
You're right, Ren is so good it's insane. Between KnoxHill breaking down the bars, and Anthony Ray catching so many cultural references that go over so many heads, no Ren song is completely reacted to until both of you have reacted to it. Even then, I know there's a lot we're still missing.
I’d recommend checking out @dicodec. He’s a big Ren fan and does a great job breaking down all cool production Ren. Even going as far as eliminating tracks to show the cool details.
As an Elder of the Net, Ren is an artist that reminds me of the “good ol’ days” of 80’s 90’s and 2K’s of music and music videos. Long Live the Ren! Yeh Boi’s lol Anyone else want to see a Ren/Prof collaboration??
Love the reaction, you are super observant!...it is the same sea front shot as genesis but just closer into the centre of Brighton. Either way its an absolute banger, makes me smile!! 🙂
Lmao. This song makes my ADHD so freaking happy🤗 Everytime I hear it my insides jump up and down like a kid on a bed!! 😂 Peace and love always until there is no more!😊❤
I am glad you appreciated this one. The beat is so out of my style and for some of the people it is a deal breaker when they react but somehow this song grew on me with time; it is kind of brilliant to listen though. So many easter eggs hidden. I absolutely love the last part. Saying repetition and repeating the same word thrice. And "chopping" part theb going into a mini chopping flow.
Just the jealous people who say he is not good. Cause they can only wish they could do what Ren can. People even in the music industry can't do half the things Ren does. Heck they can't even sing or rap let alone play a instrument.. If they say he isn't good. Then why did Sony sign him up then, you have to be good to get notice by big companies, before is illness took over him and affected him throughout it..
This one will always sit in my top 5 Ren tracks list ❤ And I agree. People who say he isn't good are nuts. You don't have to like it, but if you don't recognise the talent, there's something wrong.
Who in their right mind would say he's not good?! They need to clean the wax outta their ears because he's great at everything he does, and, he's a supurb human being to boot. Sheesh...
It always surprises me when I see someone who has reacted to a lot of Ren finally react to this! I love this song and video. It truly is amazing. Great reaction!
Great reaction my dude! I am a little surprised you just heard this one, but also...kinda happy! Means I got to hear again through fresh ears once more! 😉😉
I love watching reactors checking out Losing It….just the flow switches, trying to catch all the references and when he goes beast mode…..watching your face being completely into what is going on. This is one of my favourite Ren retakes 🔥🔥🔥great reaction!
Holy hell, that BOMB bar! Did you see what I did there? I have watched eleventy million reactions to this and that's the first time anyone has explained that. Fucking DEVIOUS Ren!! 🔥
I love this and have lost count how many times I have listened to it and I had to laugh when you said about having the confidence to stand on the underground and perform like that because for me personally I would rather throw myself on the tracks!! Also im presuming the filming when you mentioned Genesis was done on the Seafront at Brighton.
Yours is one of my favorite reactions to this song. You broke down more bars than anyone I've watched and I really appreciate that. I still need to find out what the bears in the wood reference relates to though. It reminds me of something and I just can't figure it out.
I thought I’d caught all the references made in this song but I was so very wrong. Thank you for the Drake/ Kanye feud angle. That was awesome. It’s the reason I don’t miss any content you produce. Bravo!
Yeah, totally agree! That was a dope insight! Thing is, even when reactors/fans say they might be over-reaching, the interpretation still fits most of the time, and we might learn something new, like in this instance. Thanks Anthony!
Not only is his rap game and ability to truly sing just insane but his video's are amazing. So many of his videos are 1 single take with no cuts which is just insane.
Its such a fun track with loads of favourite parts? and a visual feast. Yep, it's Brighton seafront where he also filmed Genesis. As to his cajones for filming /performing in public like that on the underground platform, that confidence will have been honed over so many years busking on the streets, often without even the back-up bravado of having your mates around filming you etc
The rhythm the rebel is the opening words to Rebel without a Pause by Public Enemy. U r the first person to catch that. I caught it first time i heard this but I’m also 49yrs old. So I listened to that song a lot growing up. Great catch
Ren has brought me to many reactors channels - yours is one of only a couple I’ve subbed to. Love your intelligence, insight and knowledge of what your talking about, I learn something from you every video see. Big love and respect from New England, USA!
"...Dig it like a shovel, rhyme devil, on a heavenly level, bang the bass, turn up the treble!" - SNAP "I Got the Power" might be the old school rhyme scheme your were thinking of with bass, treble, devil, angel, etc...
Public Enemy - Takes a Nation of Millions is where "the rhythm the rebel" bar comes from. If you haven't bumped that one from start to finish, it's probably the holy grail of old school hip hop.
I think this may be my favourite reaction of yours to date. Your joy is palpable & I am sooo glad you've done this track ❤ He has so many for reactors... The Renegades will always have something new to enjoy with you. And yes, same location as Genesis when he's running towards the camera. Brighton sea front. I actually took pics sitting there a few months ago just because I knew Ren had been filming there 😂
Love this reaction! I think my favorite to this song, and there have been some greats. You pick up so much and love it in the same way I feel it, super satisfying. You've got a new sub here for sure
Ren actually shot most of this one himself. There was an interview with his regular videographer where he mentioned it. He said it was just about completely Ren.
Locations for the shoot were Churchill Square Shopping centre, Stone Street & Castle Street (Location for Murderer Video too), Western Road & Kings Road (Location for Genesus video) in Brighton and London Victoria underground Station in London. Can't quite place the car park or the Gym.
Yes it's all filmed in Brighton and when he's sitting on the stairs that's where he filmed Murderer that's where they all lived ,Romain,Koran and Glen 😊😊
I love this! That must’ve been crazy intricate to work out filming wise with the prep, change of clothes, etcétera etcétera. Blows the top of my head off just thinking about it! I liked the original by Fisher but that was just instrumental… this is ‘mental’!! One of my faves of his…. great reaction 😊❤London x
Rewatch for me. On the Roxanne by Police part . I love that song I remember before I lost my mom of which had limited hearing , I remember she really loved the rhythmic beat to that song when it came over the radio. It caught her attention and she smiled and wanted to dance to it. Fond memory for me🧡
Fischer is an Australian EDM MC /DJ - Losing It is his EDM track that only has the occasional “ I’m Losing It “ for Lyrics. REN’s version he added lyrics over the original. Ren calls it a retake when he uses someone’s music with his lyrics- Losing it Fischer Retake and Bittersweet Symphony (The Verve) Retake. Live both.
I heard another reactor say that the line when he says "I'm about to go Beast Mode, I'm about to go Mcbeth" is referring to Paul Mcbeth, an American Disc Golfer, who is supposedly the best of his generation. If you google him, there are a lot of videos with titles like, INSANE Paul Mcbeth BeastMode hightlights.
Yes Anthony the part that mentions the rhythm the rebel of which was familiar to you was a reference to the Public Enemy song called Rebel without a pause 💪great catch
Ren made this as an homage to Fisher an Australian producer of this backing track and makes no money from it just showing respect for a great dance track!!!
I found this many Beasts/Monsters/Murderers that are mentioned/referenced in "Losing It"

same start of video, if u seen movie, u know . ))

I'm a full on metal and rock fan but this is one of my favourite Ren songs, the video is so brilliant in every way!! It's fun and groovy - just love it, so many cultural references. Glad you reacted to this one, knew you'd love it.
Leave it to Ren to write a literary line like "I'm a Mordor Lord, the Nasgul will reign". Dude is special.
This one is so much fun!! It’s not easy to rap over an EDM beat, but he likes to challenge himself. But I also love that he had so much fun putting this video together! So creative
Any other rapper would see the complex beat as an unclimbable mountain. All Ren saw was a playground.
Dope reaction!! The Rhythm The Rebel - 1988 Chuck D, Public Enemy “Rebel Without a Pause” Dope f’kn track. In 1991 R.A.F. dropped Chuck D’s rap into house music track. Then 2022 Ren raps over Fischer’s 2018 EDM beats. “Bring that beat back…” 🤘🏼🎧🤟🏼

Love your breakdowns & reactions, you’re one of the few that “get” all Ren’s content, thank you. Love from Annie, in Cornwall, UK🙂🌸
I truly believe every connection you can make with Ren’s lyrics does exist within the songs… and then add about 3 more for each one
A reference to add to your collection if you don't already know....Bongo bong is a song he covered with the Big Push. Such a fun tune.
This video rocks... the camera work is amazing!!
Ren has supplanted all of my favorite artists. He is truly something special. NF is a very close second. They are just so unique.
You're right, Ren is so good it's insane. Between KnoxHill breaking down the bars, and Anthony Ray catching so many cultural references that go over so many heads, no Ren song is completely reacted to until both of you have reacted to it. Even then, I know there's a lot we're still missing.
Yeah, he caught multiple things I haven't noticed or knew about and I have watched all of the Losing It reactions I could find.
I’d recommend checking out @dicodec. He’s a big Ren fan and does a great job breaking down all cool production Ren. Even going as far as eliminating tracks to show the cool details.
This might be my favorite Ren song, at least at the moment. My favorite seems to switch throughout the day.
Agree completely. I freaking love this one.
As an Elder of the Net, Ren is an artist that reminds me of the “good ol’ days” of 80’s 90’s and 2K’s of music and music videos. Long Live the Ren!
Yeh Boi’s
lol
Anyone else want to see a Ren/Prof collaboration??
I just decided to remind you of this comment:-D
Love the reaction, you are super observant!...it is the same sea front shot as genesis but just closer into the centre of Brighton. Either way its an absolute banger, makes me smile!! 🙂
Lmao. This song makes my ADHD so freaking happy🤗
Everytime I hear it my insides jump up and down like a kid on a bed!! 😂
Peace and love always until there is no more!😊❤
Ren all the filming of this video. Just amazing😳💕👍🦇
I am glad you appreciated this one. The beat is so out of my style and for some of the people it is a deal breaker when they react but somehow this song grew on me with time; it is kind of brilliant to listen though. So many easter eggs hidden. I absolutely love the last part. Saying repetition and repeating the same word thrice. And "chopping" part theb going into a mini chopping flow.
Just the jealous people who say he is not good. Cause they can only wish they could do what Ren can. People even in the music industry can't do half the things Ren does. Heck they can't even sing or rap let alone play a instrument.. If they say he isn't good. Then why did Sony sign him up then, you have to be good to get notice by big companies, before is illness took over him and affected him throughout it..
He was noticed at 17 and signed at 19....then his life imploded from there and he has been fighting ever since.
This one will always sit in my top 5 Ren tracks list ❤
And I agree. People who say he isn't good are nuts. You don't have to like it, but if you don't recognise the talent, there's something wrong.
Been waiting for you to get around to this one 😁👍
Who in their right mind would say he's not good?! They need to clean the wax outta their ears because he's great at everything he does, and, he's a supurb human being to boot. Sheesh...
All but one of my friends. I'm sure they'll catch up in a couple of decades.
It always surprises me when I see someone who has reacted to a lot of Ren finally react to this! I love this song and video. It truly is amazing. Great reaction!
Gold and fire brother, no matter what ren song you listen to he's spitting both
Great reaction my dude! I am a little surprised you just heard this one, but also...kinda happy! Means I got to hear again through fresh ears once more! 😉😉
A couple of decades busking on the streets probably teaches you how to deal with the anxiety about performin in public 🙂
Also that’s shot on the London Underground and everyone knows that you don’t make eye contact with anyone, so do what you like!
In Blind Eyed he says that his rhymes set him free of his anxieties.
I love watching reactors checking out Losing It….just the flow switches, trying to catch all the references and when he goes beast mode…..watching your face being completely into what is going on. This is one of my favourite Ren retakes 🔥🔥🔥great reaction!
One of my favorites! I love it!
Yes, filmed on Brighton promenade. Brighton is Ren's hometown, it's in the UK South Coast below London 😊
so glad you reacted to this one its one of my favourites thank you ❤❤
This one is such a banger,Thanks Anthony❤
I noticed you haven't reviewed Money game 1 & 2, I would recommend giving that a try, Money game 3 is on its way shortly.!!
Holy hell, that BOMB bar! Did you see what I did there? I have watched eleventy million reactions to this and that's the first time anyone has explained that. Fucking DEVIOUS Ren!! 🔥
great reaction dude!! cant believe you hadnt seen this one already!!! deffo a fun track!
After listening to your breakdown of the song I appreciate it all the more. Again. Ren is a freakin musical genius! 😮
Love this song. The flows, the lyrics and his performance are all amazing. Great reaction ❤
Wow I forgot you never did this one Anthony, it's one of the most popular ones. It's insane indeed. A pleasure watching you react, as always. 🔥
I love this and have lost count how many times I have listened to it and I had to laugh when you said about having the confidence to stand on the underground and perform like that because for me personally I would rather throw myself on the tracks!! Also im presuming the filming when you mentioned Genesis was done on the Seafront at Brighton.
That song is a journey! Great reaction!
Yours is one of my favorite reactions to this song. You broke down more bars than anyone I've watched and I really appreciate that. I still need to find out what the bears in the wood reference relates to though. It reminds me of something and I just can't figure it out.
The reason that video has so many views is because I have watched it 1.7 million times myself. It's so good.
I thought I’d caught all the references made in this song but I was so very wrong. Thank you for the Drake/ Kanye feud angle. That was awesome. It’s the reason I don’t miss any content you produce. Bravo!
Yeah, totally agree! That was a dope insight! Thing is, even when reactors/fans say they might be over-reaching, the interpretation still fits most of the time, and we might learn something new, like in this instance. Thanks Anthony!
Not only is his rap game and ability to truly sing just insane but his video's are amazing. So many of his videos are 1 single take with no cuts which is just insane.
The rhythm the rebel = Public enemy - Rebel without a pause
Its such a fun track with loads of favourite parts? and a visual feast. Yep, it's Brighton seafront where he also filmed Genesis. As to his cajones for filming /performing in public like that on the underground platform, that confidence will have been honed over so many years busking on the streets, often without even the back-up bravado of having your mates around filming you etc
Total banger. Love this song
This is one of my favorite songs of Ren’s. It’s fun and catchy and has a lot of old references. 💖
This guy's observational and analytical skills are on point. Much respect.
He is the different that we need in this world ❤
The rhythm the rebel is the opening words to Rebel without a Pause by Public Enemy. U r the first person to catch that. I caught it first time i heard this but I’m also 49yrs old. So I listened to that song a lot growing up. Great catch
Dude... loved this. Such a fun vibe🎉
This might be one of the top three best songs I've ever heard in my life
Sam told Joey in his interview that most of the video was Ren shooting this one.. pure Genius once again
Ren has brought me to many reactors channels - yours is one of only a couple I’ve subbed to. Love your intelligence, insight and knowledge of what your talking about, I learn something from you every video see. Big love and respect from New England, USA!
LOL!! I love this song AND your honest, knowledgeable reaction! So much fun!
I have been WAITING for you to react to this!!!!!!❤❤❤
"...Dig it like a shovel, rhyme devil, on a heavenly level, bang the bass, turn up the treble!" - SNAP "I Got the Power"
might be the old school rhyme scheme your were thinking of with bass, treble, devil, angel, etc...
Public Enemy - Takes a Nation of Millions is where "the rhythm the rebel" bar comes from. If you haven't bumped that one from start to finish, it's probably the holy grail of old school hip hop.
I think this may be my favourite reaction of yours to date. Your joy is palpable & I am sooo glad you've done this track ❤ He has so many for reactors... The Renegades will always have something new to enjoy with you.
And yes, same location as Genesis when he's running towards the camera. Brighton sea front. I actually took pics sitting there a few months ago just because I knew Ren had been filming there 😂
He’s just so very good at it all. Powerhouse.
I love this song so much ❤️ thanks for reacting to it. I can't believe you hadn't heard it yet.
I remember your first Ren reaction. I didn't know there was so much more either. ❤😊
Love this reaction! I think my favorite to this song, and there have been some greats. You pick up so much and love it in the same way I feel it, super satisfying. You've got a new sub here for sure
Ren actually shot most of this one himself. There was an interview with his regular videographer where he mentioned it. He said it was just about completely Ren.
13:51 Public Enemy - Rebel Without a Pause
Edit: 14:19 Yes, that is Brighton Front.
So far the 2 things I've seen that Ren can't do is basketball and boxing. But he tries! He's a legend
Ren is like nothing I've ever seen before. Ren is life.
Locations for the shoot were Churchill Square Shopping centre, Stone Street & Castle Street (Location for Murderer Video too), Western Road & Kings Road (Location for Genesus video) in Brighton and London Victoria underground Station in London. Can't quite place the car park or the Gym.
Yes it's all filmed in Brighton and when he's sitting on the stairs that's where he filmed Murderer that's where they all lived ,Romain,Koran and Glen 😊😊
I can't believe you haven't heard this one before! One of the best!
knox hill,black pegasus and sir anthony...the holy trinity of reaction 💯🔥
Every track I listen to I think is my favourite. Until I think they all definitely are my favourite. Great reaction. 😘😘😘😘
Love this one! Glad to see it through your lens! ❤️🔥❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
Love witching your Ren reactions, very informative, i learn something new every time!
This is fire one of my favorite Ren songs...great reaction appreciate you.
Love this!! One of my top 5 Ren tunes
Loved your reaction. This piece is genius!
Inlove this song from him so much 😂 its such a hype song
SUPERB!
I love this! That must’ve been crazy intricate to work out filming wise with the prep, change of clothes, etcétera etcétera. Blows the top of my head off just thinking about it! I liked the original by Fisher but that was just instrumental… this is ‘mental’!! One of my faves of his…. great reaction 😊❤London x
Rewatch for me. On the Roxanne by Police part . I love that song I remember before I lost my mom of which had limited hearing , I remember she really loved the rhythmic beat to that song when it came over the radio. It caught her attention and she smiled and wanted to dance to it. Fond memory for me🧡
This is just next level...on so many levels
Bongo Bong.. Great cover him and the Big Push did!!!
Fischer is an Australian EDM MC /DJ - Losing It is his EDM track that only has the occasional “ I’m Losing It “ for Lyrics. REN’s version he added lyrics over the original. Ren calls it a retake when he uses someone’s music with his lyrics- Losing it Fischer Retake and Bittersweet Symphony (The Verve) Retake. Live both.
This is one of my favorites. Ren IS different. So impressive.
Yeah where he's running is where Genesis was filmed (Brighton seafront), good spot.
I just have two words for you : THANK YOU 🎉
He rides the beat like a Boss!!!!
You are aces at these reactions. And, yes, this is a top level song. It has 40 minutes of stuff condensed into a 4 minute song.
“The Rhythm, The Rebel” - Public Enemy 👍
it's Brighton on the south coast of England. Most of his videos are filmed there
Another great reaction, you get the content and help us understand the ones we don't know.
I heard another reactor say that the line when he says "I'm about to go Beast Mode, I'm about to go Mcbeth" is referring to Paul Mcbeth, an American Disc Golfer, who is supposedly the best of his generation. If you google him, there are a lot of videos with titles like, INSANE Paul Mcbeth BeastMode hightlights.
I'm so surprised you hadn't seen this before, I knew youd love it, and totally get it 🖤
Its filmed in Brighton UK .
Yes Anthony the part that mentions the rhythm the rebel of which was familiar to you was a reference to the Public Enemy song called Rebel without a pause 💪great catch
This is Ren having fun and I fucking love it! That cheeky humour 😂
😂 ...My favor..❤❤❤ Thank you from Italy dear! ❤
Your reaction is priceless😂😂😂.He can spit for sure❤
This one is always and in all ways just super fun audibly and visually.
God he is just so talented& gifted, love you man ❤
Ren made this as an homage to Fisher an Australian producer of this backing track and makes no money from it just showing respect for a great dance track!!!
Been waiting ages to see you react to this one!
