Ren took creative licence with the news story in 2005, so it is firmly "inspired by" rather than a "retelling of". That is his gift shining as a story writer.
Lol... well done! Jenny and Screech is based on a true story. Violets tale was created by Ren about 2 years later. Bigger things... both 14, Jenny had walked the streets in high heels a 1000 times (prostitution), was silent like her Mother. Screech was a mirror of his father. The whole tale speaks of the repetition of life.... amazing
I agree that Screech was like his father, but you do have to wonder exactly who his father is... I know that Stevie is an unhinged "prick" regardless, but his continued use of "slut" and "liar" makes me wonder if he thought she was cheating... maybe she was already pregnant when she met him without realising it. She had just left home when she met Stevie, where she was relentlessly abused by her own dad. I always wonder if the reason Stevie calls her a liar is because her pre-natal scans show that she conceived before they got together. It's sickening, but entirely possible that the twins' dad is also their grandfather!
Probably the most important 13 minute video ever made, I’ve done a playlist with some of the hidden Easter eggs and my theories about the main characters in these tales and how they are all connected on my YT.
Ren saw a headline of a 14-year-old boy charged with murder (I think of a prostitute), and he wondered how that could have happened. He was also bothered by the police response, "it's such a shame." To the UK, it's like saying "thoughts and prayers" in the U.S. It’s said in response to horrific crimes, but it's been said so many times, it doesn't mean anything. He ends Jenny and Screech's tales with that line/sentiment to be aware of society's apathy.
Ren’s storytelling is so good tho. If you think about it, Screech was like his father and Jenny was like her mother. Notice how Jenny was quiet and timid like Violet. Screech was addicted and violent. The cycle continues… then ends.
Ren seriously is the best story teller out there. This started off being based off a story Ren read in the newspaper about a young man that slashed and killed a young prostitute. The reporter ended the report with “it’s such a shame” hence Ren using that line a lot. Jenny’s tale came out in feb 2019, screech’s in sept 2019 and violets tale in July 2022. Patrick was with Screech’s girlfriend hence she was “busy”. Notice how Jenny was a quiet girl like her Mom Violet and Screech was violent like his dad stevie. Generational abuse. Such a well written and presented story but definitely very hard to watch especially when you have been through abuse yourself. Sending you lots of love 🖤🫶
Not being a dick but are you serious when you say Jenny was 14 in high heels walking the streets is the final twist instead of the actually final twist that not 1 person seen coming ?
@westbank5436 it's what you have to rethink as soon as you realise they were twins up until that point Jenny is ageless and could be a full grown woman because of the reference to wearing high heels. That's why to me it's the final twist.
@@lynette.I didn't realize we didn't know Jenny's age at first but they gave us Screech's age 5 lines in when he is introduced. I've been listening to this song for about a year so I felt like I always knew they were 14. So I get your point, like I said I wasn't trying to be mean but the final twist blew my mind and I didn't get it my first listen. I was on my phone with no earbuds in so it went right by me.
@@lynette. I just like to make sure my fellow Renegades know I'm not being mean and Ren makes you want to do better and treat ppl better but I only do that with the Ren community because we all think alike lol Other ppl can kiss my ass because they suck and could careless about how you feel.
BRO, you're the first one besides myself to say anything about sampling that guitar riff on screech's part, SO FIRE. I literally come back to it to hear it again lol.
Wales is part of the UK. Where did you think it was? lol. The officer shooting Screech/James was merely artistic and dramatic licence. Police typically don't carry guns, unless they're in a specialist firearms team. Some plain clothes officers aldo have licences but even thy would only emply them for very specific operations. A patrolling officer just wouldn't have had a gun. A good thing too! One statistic that's stayed with me, is the fact that, on average, US police kill more people in a single month, than British police have killed in more than 2 decades!
He made up 95% of it - it started as a news articke about a 14 year old boy who murdered someone and the police sayinh 'it's such a shame' - that was more or less it. The rest is Ren! ❤😊
There was at least one untold story within each Tale (probably more): Jenny's Tale - Jenny was a 14-year-old prostitute Screech's Tale - Patrick was not home for the very same reason why Screech's girlfriend was "busy" Violet's Tale - Stevie is NOT the father
Oh hey is the incest thing actually proven? I always wondered if the reason Stevie constantly calls Violet "slut" and "liar" is because she was already pregnant when they met (likely without knowing). It doesn't change the fact that Screech was like his dad, as people always say. Plus the generational violence theme is still valid, likely even more so! It's just that even more troubling, his dad was also his grandfather 😢
@@cassandrawood Well the incest itself was stated in the song, and Violet had to already be pregnant when she left home in order to collect welfare at 16. Sounds more than just circumstantial.
@gcarap agreed 100%. A welfare scheme for a 16 year old to live independently isn't something all 16 year olds would have access to. Only in special circumstances! Very likely it's something organised by social services for her protection.
Jenny’s Tale is about a girl named Jenny walking down a street in London that she’s been down so many times before. She has a chance encounter with a 14-yr-old boy named James (his nickname is Screech) who is a street kid, a thief and stuff. He robs Jenny and ends up killing her with a knife, which ends Jenny’s Tale. Screech’s Tale begins moments after James (Screech) killed Jenny. He knocks on his friend Patrick’s door, looking for a place to hide, and no one answers. He calls his girlfriend to see if he can come to her place, and she says she’s busy. He has nowhere to go and a police officer finds him, he tries to fight the officer and gets shot 4 times, which ends Screech’s tale. Violet’s Tale is a prequel of sorts. A quiet girl named Violet grew up in a terrible home, her mother was a drinker and her father “tucked her tight, but never left the room” (abused her). She moved out at 16, and met a guy named Stevie who also abused her. He comes home one night after drinking and smoking and beats her within an inch of her life (she’s the one fighting for her life). Then there’s “the doctor, in a state of shock, saw something here so very wrong. See, Violet, she was pregnant, Violet, she was nine months gone”. Violet breaks her silence to ask the doctor to save her babies if she dies. Her babies are twins, a girl named Jenny, and a boy named Screech. This isn’t explicitly stated in the songs: Their father murdered their mother, it’s a safe bet to assume they’d end up in the system. They were separated after birth. Credit: Reddit(BestBudzz)
Didn't see your reaction to just Violet's tale so Im glad you rewatched it in the trilogy esp if it hits you differently. Youll know by now how diverse Ren is and is fenre breaking stuff. Hope you're Renegades to by the end of the journey...xx ✨
It was set in London and yes they do have guns, if an incident involves a dangerous situation, the armed police deal with it. I don't know what being from Wales makes any difference though. England and Wales have the same Laws under the UK Government.
This is set in London where every copper is armed and in big city's all have armed response units, its civilians that are not armed that don't mean knife crime and violence don't exist in Britain because it's everywhere
There are always little Easter eggs with Ren. That trumpet sound is also a vocal warm-up technique. So he's a minstrel warming up his voice &/or just messing around. But then the minstrel also clears his throat before he begins his tale. The man seems to know & think of damn near everything!
This was prompted by a newspaper story and people saying its such a shame then a few months later came Screeches tale then it was nearly 2 years later he released Violets tale tying it all together.
First time on your channel. I dig the reaction. I’m glad you watched all 3 parts. He’s really a generational talent. Idk how many of his songs you have done but I saw my man with the glasses lip synching Violets Tale so I’m gonna guess quite a few. Ren is like Prince and Lauryn Hill had a Caucasian kid in Whales. It’s not really a true story small part. Two kids grew up in the system and one killed three other not knowing they’re related. I remember he read a small clip in the newspaper. I don’t remember if they were brother and sister or actually twins or cousins or what. But the rest of it is from his imagination just highlighting how history repeats itself and somebody has to break the cycle and it’s the victim that usually has to which is cruel and unfair. I’m pretty sure he said the last line was it’s such a shame.. And he didn’t think that did the victim Justice.
It wasn't really based on true events. Inspired by, may be more accurate. Ren read a short news article, no more than a handful of sentences. It said that a 14 year old boy had been arrested for the murder of a young woman in a knife attack. That's it. Apart from the time and place that's pretty much all it said. The rest is all from Ren's imagination. Even the scant few details that were in the article, Ren changed.
Good reaction, though I share the frustration mentioned by others of Sincere Life's fractured attention. I recognize and respect that since you seem to be reacting in a livestream you feel a responsibility to stay connected to and engaged in the chat, but I think most of us who enjoy watching reactions are just missing how engrossing this material can be when reactors are able to focus. Dash was definitely on it, so we still got our engagement "fix" 😅
I've never seen/heard him confirm, but some have wondered if the feeling Jenny had was a reference to a connection between twins that some have reported. Anyways, welcome to Bardcore. Ever since I saw this, I've been waiting for the right moment to scream "Come on let's fucking have you then!"
Um, do you realize how silly it is to say the 1st part is true but the twin part is not. Well, NSS...the 1st part...the attempted mugging and murder and they caught the killer happens in any given town, on any given day, in any given country. Of course you can say that part is true. In all reality, I'm sure the part of this tale about them being twins is probably true more often than we realize somewhere in the world. Unless you hear Ren say it's based off a story he read or saw on the news, you can safely bet he came up with the idea to present a bigger message. Be mindful of how you treat everyone, no matter where you are. You never know your connection. My husband's stepmom was murdered randomly...by her cousin. He tried to rob her in her hotel room. He didn't recognize her as she had been living in another state the previous 10 years and had just moved home after leaving my husband's dad. They found his blood at the scene and after testing found out the familial connection and that's how they caught him. He was all tweaked out and just looking to get money to get his next fix. He's in prison...I think for the rest of his life.
wait........did u guys rly ask what song is about brandas baby ??????????? ...or who rap about it ? srly? im from germany and i know instantly it was TUPAC ! cmon guys....

Came in the world together. And left the world the same day
Yep crazy part is they also died blocks away from their mother
@@AlmostJokingPod 🤯🤯
It really reminds me of the musical 'Blood Brothers', look it up if you want more heartbreak.
Lol... well done! Jenny and Screech is based on a true story. Violets tale was created by Ren about 2 years later.
Bigger things... both 14, Jenny had walked the streets in high heels a 1000 times (prostitution), was silent like her Mother. Screech was a mirror of his father. The whole tale speaks of the repetition of life.... amazing
Yep, well said.
Only Jenny's tale was based of a newspaper article. The rest is all ren
I agree that Screech was like his father, but you do have to wonder exactly who his father is... I know that Stevie is an unhinged "prick" regardless, but his continued use of "slut" and "liar" makes me wonder if he thought she was cheating... maybe she was already pregnant when she met him without realising it.
She had just left home when she met Stevie, where she was relentlessly abused by her own dad.
I always wonder if the reason Stevie calls her a liar is because her pre-natal scans show that she conceived before they got together. It's sickening, but entirely possible that the twins' dad is also their grandfather!
prostitute? have you never seen a 14 year old girl working in a shop with heels?
Probably the most important 13 minute video ever made, I’ve done a playlist with some of the hidden Easter eggs and my theories about the main characters in these tales and how they are all connected on my YT.
You dont listen to ren, you experience ren
The radio would be a HUGE waste of his other talents. One has to get the FULL experience. He's got so much MORE than sound.
Ren saw a headline of a 14-year-old boy charged with murder (I think of a prostitute), and he wondered how that could have happened. He was also bothered by the police response, "it's such a shame."

Awesome reaction! Ren is his own genre, bardcore is what he has been called.
At least the guy in the white was paying attention. The other guy was in Cloud-cuckoo-land! lol. :)
100%
Ren is a real good story teller , this trilogy was amazing and sad.
Ren seriously is the best story teller out there.
This started off being based off a story Ren read in the newspaper about a young man that slashed and killed a young prostitute. The reporter ended the report with “it’s such a shame” hence Ren using that line a lot.

Patrick was with Screech’s girlfriend hence she was “busy”.
Notice how Jenny was a quiet girl like her Mom Violet and Screech was violent like his dad stevie. Generational abuse.
Such a well written and presented story but definitely very hard to watch especially when you have been through abuse yourself.
Sending you lots of love 🖤🫶
I think her father would be the father in this scenario, and Stevie just the perpetuation of her trauma hence the “lie” but just my own conjecture ❤❤
Everything he does is fire. He can also do everything
If you notice when he says we must rewind the hands of time for Violets tale he plays the gutair backwards like hes rewinding time. Shit is dope.
You guys should check out his latest drop to hear some of his vocal abilities and he's always cold on the guitar
This song is where the term Bardcore came from.
Also, notice these are all “one takes”.
The final twist is when you realise Jenny was 14 in high heels walking the streets .
Not being a dick but are you serious when you say Jenny was 14 in high heels walking the streets is the final twist instead of the actually final twist that not 1 person seen coming ?

One take live shots and audio in all his videos. Notice the acoustic changes in Violet's Tale. Crazy smart artist. Awesome reaction!
at the start of Jenny tale Ren was beatboxing trumpet

They do have guns and he is Welsh but I think grew up in Bristol but the story is in London Paddington.

The is guns in England they are just illegal. Just like drugs are illegal you can still get them
