Also, Ren's not gonna copyright strike you so you can actually make money reacting to him. If you do get a copyright strike you can appeal it and he'll get rid of it for you.
great reaction. Luke was the videographer on this one. This was a fun, murderous breath of fresh air! The hook is so dang catchy too. Glad you haven't quit doing the reactions. It's cool when you fall into speaking dutch and switch back and forth, don't understand it, but I like the way it sounds.
I work in the UK with a lot of guys whose first language isn't English, you have a very strong grasp of it. I always try to remember my pronunciations and slang when speaking to my European brothers. did chuckle at some of the words you struggled with , I heard them all, in my first language though obviously. Please don't stop your reactions, the technical breakdowns you give are very good, much respect 👏🏻
Keep writing, keep producing your own music. Join an agency too, because you'd make a cracking actor/model. You're so charismatic on screen and the camera loves you. Dual language as well. (My friend started acting at the ripe old age of 44; we all took the plss but three years on, and he's in a tv series.) ❤
Having watched several of Anthony's reactions, I have to admit he's a good looking bloke. Was thinking just that as I flicked through the comments and saw this. The camera just loves some people

Lets be honest Ren only makes absolute bangers, a different feel for every mood... This one tho... catchy and like you say full of substance. Been on near constant repeat since it dropped. Such a fire tune. I cannot wait for the album. soon as that gets announced im investing. Please give me a Vinyl edition tho Ren Please. EDIT: I understand Anthony if you decide to stop reactions but know man i for one will miss your reactions a lot. You and BP have become my daily watching when im chilling out and youve bought so much good music into my world. You will absolutely be missed if you stop.
The way he sung Murderer is just like in the song Murderer from Barrington Levy, old school Reggea Legend. Nice how Ren shows his appreciation for musical history..
Fun Fact..Ren said last night on the after party on twitch he doesn't want to be a famous musician his dream is to be a director..got a bit of a shock, but get it also, so he is doing what he is good at to get there, I'm actually glad YOU did a reaction you are up there with a few favourites..just when you said you wanted to do something different also, you are good at this, may be what you do to get where you want to be going like Ren. Just a thought.
Love your Ren reactions. Thanks so much. You can feel your love for music. Ren said on Twitch it was a 1 take, but they passed the camera through the car windows to someone else. Also, he said it's Linked to Animal flow. As in the start of animal flow there is the same guy tied up with the pig :)
That had me wondering too. Like.. are the tracks all going to be linked together in some way to make or be part of a larger ongoing story? Because that would be amazing and such a Ren thing to do. The storyteller in him would deffo do this.
Not true, Luke Flegg confirmed on Joe E Sparks comment section that they cut twice for the through window shots, the car indoor shot is different from the outdoor shot and Luke did it all on his own as he wasn't confident in having someone else doing the shot he wanted. He laments he didn't show the empty back seat
@@DenTweedJust went and read what he wrote and I think there's a misunderstanding there, Luke said they did a second day of takes to get the 'float through the window' shot right- he didn't say they made any cuts. Ren definitely said this was a one take video.
@@Apollo.Rising No, no misunderstanding, there's 2 cuts One is very noticable once you see it. Don't read further if you don't want to notice it every time from now on: The car window cut when he exits again (when abducting) you see on the right a blue car some distance away with no car close by (just the blue bins) yet once he is through the car window you see a white car very close by and no blue bins (further on you see they're a bit further than the blue bins now). Also you can feel Ren's abduction timing is off, he's barely at the car when the exiting starts but already at the back of the car when we pan to the back. It's only a short amount of time but it's off
He was actually almost arrested at one point though. After the money game part one video, he went to like Tesco’s or Co-op with the baseball bat still. He had to show the policeman that arrived his channel to prove that it was just for a video and that he wasn’t caring around a dangerous weapon.😹
This song gets you hooked immediately and each bar is intensely building with energy! Ren came through again and its exciting! Anthony, please dont go anywhere because if you do, we'll have to send Ren out after you❤❤ Seriously, love and respect you❤❤
5:39 - Yessir. Everything from my phone to my social media is for me to reach out to people on my terms. Everything stays muted (except for like three numbers that can ring through), everything stays closed, so I am only ever interacting with the world at my best and when I want to. It's like only walking out your front door when you can come correct, otherwise you're streaking or inviting the world into your house.
Luke Flegg shot this one, and he's responded to a few reactors to say it was only him--no pass offs--and a spotter. He apparently needed several takes before they got it, but get it they did.
I’m a firm believer in walking away from things that don’t bring you joy. Sometimes nothing seems to bring much joy … and usually that means it’s time to shake the tree and let the debris fall away so you can see things more clearly. What ever you choose to do (continue on the reaction path or walk away), I hope it’s the right choice for you. However! I will surely miss watching your reactions ♥️
Great reaction Anthony!! This song is suck in my head so much... and i love it! Ren said on twitch how all videos are connected... they dude they kidnap is the dude that is tied up in animal flow beginning too! He is always thinking way ahead!
Wacht...... WAT????? Ik dacht dus oprecht dat je een Amerikaan was die "per ongeluk" in België terecht was gekomen!!!! Chapeau!!!!!! Ik doe het je niet na! 😍 Groetjes van je noorderbuur 😘 I always appreciate your reaction. Love your calm, soothing voice explaining things. I'm a 52 year old woman who always said that rap isn't music. It's for people how can't sing. I was a proud New Waver in the 80's and later got into Grunge. Then I found Ren and connected with him. We share in a way the same life with chronic illness and I was blown away by his lyrics. Those where my words said in a way I couldn't. And through your reactions I learned that there is so much more technicality to rap. I KNOW NOW WHAT BARS ARE!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 I changed my mind.... Rap is music..... but not al rap! 😅
So a little background info: This video was shot in march of 2022. So this is still, once again, a video from brighton. There is even a video from it were they got caught shooting this. Very funny.
I watched Joe E Sparks reaction and he believes that they were passing the camera off to different people. Which makes sense when you're watching it, the transitions are so clean. Someone was already in the backseat of the car and the camera was handed to them thru the window. I kinda don't wanna know... just chalk it up to the magic of Ren and his team 💜🦇💚
@@Corvid76that's simply not true. The videographer Luke Flegg confirmed it was just him filming from start to finish. They did however lean in through the window, cut, then get in the car to restart. Same with getting out. Cut, got out, leaned as far as they could through the window, and brought the camera out through the window for the last shot.
Good morning, Anthony. I wanted to tell you that you're killin' it with your reactions. Watching this reaction first this a.m. gave me a much welcomed laugh-thanks, man! It helped me turn the corner to a better mood as I wait for meds to kick in. I know this is TMI, but I wanted you to know. You are much appreciated. much love, kathleen
Please don't stop doing reactions! I've only been a subsriber to your channel for a short amount of time but I really, really like the way you do your reactions and the chill vibe you have. Even if you only did 1 or 2 days a week and maybe did a couple of videos each time. There are a lot of reaction channels out there but only a handful of them that you can tell know what they are talking about when it comes to technical stuff like the song writing and the videography. And there are only a few that you can tell truly love music and you do both, have the knowledge and show love for the music itself. Great reaction to this one! And just remember, Ren is dropping 4 songs in August and the rest of the Sick Boi album in September so that's like 18 songs over the next 2 months❤️❤️❤️❤ ❤
Sad to hear you bit fed up man.. You gotta enjoy your life don't let anything bring you down.. Love your reactions to Ren so far do what makes you happy ❤
Ahh man, don't stop! I love watching your perspective. One of my favourite reactors! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. That camera work in the car blew my mind too. Sam is crazy good.
I hope you will never lose your drive to do reactions, as you are among my favorite reactors. Today was no exception; I always enjoy your insights and commentary. Have a blessed weekend.
Been waiting for your reaction, I love your analysis of this. Obviously language counts, because meaning matters, but after that I'm realising that rap is all musicality. This making of rhythm and choosing of words that sound pleasing to the ear is present in prose, but it's super concentrated in rap. It's beautiful, seriously.
Thanks for sharing your time with us. Sucks the platform doesn’t make it more worth your while so am glad to see what you do react to. I am a ren fan and found you through that or black Pegasus and am really glad.
It's such a catchy song and so so good, an instant fav! Loved your reaction as always, great job man! Also as someone who doesn't have English as their first language (I'm Spanish) I feel you, it can be hard to express some things in English and they come out easily in your first language but you're doing really well with your English, hard to tell you're not a native speaker for those who don't know you!
Great reaction thank you Anthony. It's a catchy little number. I believe it is a one take, but sam isn't the cinematographer. Always enjoy your honesty. I hope all is well with you - you seem a little low ❤
Keep with the Ren reactions dude, you are one of the best without a doubt. Could see you had fun with this track as well, I love how Ren switches between singing and rapping in this which can't be easy to do
Thanks for a great reaction to a complete banger of a track. 🔥🔥 Went to bed with this in my head a couple of hours after the premiere and had it on repeatedly since then. Think this is a great homage to Barrington Levy. Love how, as you said, Ren incorporates old styles and blends them into his work. Can’t wait to see what he does next. Thanks Anthony 🔥
Hey Antony I’m sorry to hear that you’re going through some burnout right now. I want to thank you for being open about it. And showing just as with all elements of mental health and self care we will all experience varying degrees of the highs and lows of all of spectrum of life. And sometimes we need to hear it from people like you (those in the limelight/appear to have it all) to realise we are not alone. I know that you know this But maybe you might appreciate hearing/being reminded by someone else? You are also 100% correct ‘you can not please everyone’ we all go through a period in life where we believe if we try hard enough surely we will be able to? Then comes the realisation that we have pert near killed our selves trying to please them all. Followed by the freedom of no longer caring and just enjoying being ourselves without having to worry about what others may think of us. I would go so far as to say it’s part of ‘defining ourselves’ btw I will be buying some of your merch. You are a huge talent in your own right and I am sure if you wanted to change the direction/content of your channel in whichever way sparks your creative joy then your true fans will come along on that journey with you. I for sure will be one of them. Apart from enjoying your knowledge and the way you share it with helping us to understand the many nuances of music and what you are reacting to, I personally love the timbre of your voice so I would listen to you read out the phone book! 😂 The First Time Reaction lane in TH-cam in my opinion is over saturated so I would have no problem with you bringing us music videos of artists you love and may have watched a 1000 times , you could share why you love it and still point out all of the technical stuff people like me have no clue about. You could say what ever it is you want to share with us and we will watch it and enjoy seeing your love and passion and your own enjoyment. Obviously I have no clue how TH-cam works or the limitations they put on you but essentially I’m trying to say just bring us what brings you joy and sparks your creativity and we will love it too! Those that don’t just love it simply don’t belong in your tribe and that is perfectly ok! They can scroll on by and your intended tribe will find their way to you. With ❤ from 🇦🇺
I think Ren shows that anyone can feel that rage and be the murderer. Look at the reactions to the Oil protestors in London where people, to be fair, have shown incredible restraint but have been driven by frustration to violence. Anyone can get to that.
Ren does the Rap Genre justice plus the inclusion of many other musical elements stretches the Genre. Correction: Luke is the pro videographer for today, like he's got something to prove with the smooth moves! Glad you reconsidered, Anthony!!
I was astounded by the camera work this time as well. Per usual. Not a lot of people notice or appreciate Sam’s work. He captures the movements and emotions so well. Him and Ren are in sync. On a different level. I also was wondering how he got out of the car with the camera. Watched it like 15 times but it does look like he opens the door slightly but I could be wrong.
There's a reason why you're one of the top Reactors Ray, and a favourite amongst the RENegades, you add substance to the substance, help explain the cadences & rhyme schemes etc. This isn't the first time either I've seen you say Ren puts you "in the mood" or inspires your own music production so as someone else said, if Ren puts you in your element stick with Ren and the artists who fire or inspire you for any reactions. The Toblerone bar is the ultimate disrespect for anyone who wants to make Ren an enemy- not only will he F your daughter, but he'll watch her eating the bone & enjoying it like a delicious treat while calling your daughter a dog. I can imagine that would drive a lot of fathers crazy if an enemy did that to his precious daughter- It's such a naughty line!
Sinister with a boppin beat. How Ren. 😏 Love it, and your reaction! Definitely a 90s-esque rap with a smidgen of reggae. So good! P.S. The entire video is seemingly a one-take, but I don't think it was shot by Samuel. (Don't care if it wasn't actually a one-take that weirdos are arguing about. The final result masterfully appears to be a one-take. Great job, and I also love the focus shift from the Pig's eyes to Ren further away.)
@Antohony Ray Reacts ben blij dat een belgishe rapper/reactor so veel credit krijgt en dat hij mijn favorite aristen ook in het oog heeft,, you sir got my sub.
First, go Ren, second great reaction, and finally, I would not know that English is not your first language until,I heard you speaking Dutch. I mean even when you say y’all it is spot on ( trust me I am from Alabama and I say y’all many times a day 😂😂) Also, your grammar is much better than most average Americans. Your voice is made to be heard so please don’t stop reactions! But, if you do I will still listen to your music because it is so wonderful! Great reaction! Keep doing you! 🫶🏻
AND btw Anthony....i simply love your reactions! You are smart, funny and really know your stuff. You are wise to protect your mental health but I would really miss hearing and watching you! Your English is most excellent also.
Do what you love! You are a fun reactor, maybe only do a few here and there (or just do all the Ren ones as he is about to drop the whole album soon!!!!!!) I also enjoy your music which I found through your reaction videos. Much love!
This is a Great reaction! Thanks so much. I totally understand burnout and hope you will remember to relax and breathe. I prescribe listening to your favorite Ren tracks for their sheer totality. Let your mind enjoy without feeling the pressure to analyze anything about them.. Under it all, Ren's work is dedicated to healing even when it's not obvious in the title Or lyrics. To reinvigorate, put yourself In Joy! The Renegades love you very much and will continue to do so even if you take a long vacation. (PS I just saw that this reaction has garnered FIFTEEN THOUSAND views in 2 short days!! Ren will be dropping a whole wheel barrow filled with new tracks very soon, so if you feel like it, you might consider doing reactions to Ren only!!)
I hope you don’t stop doing reaction videos. You’re one of my favorites ! You’re a natural at explaining and breaking things down that I may miss or don’t quite understand. ❤😊
You have a better grasp on English than most of us English speakers 😂😂. I if you need to take a hiatus to make more songs for us. Please do😊. Mental health though comes before anything . Take a break have some fun. We will be here waiting. ❤️🔥 reaction
Please Ray don't 🛑 you yourself has reached others and introduce us to inspiring music too my 6 yr old gets a kick when you rap in your native tongue😂❤❤😂😂
Don't comment often, but just wanted to say that I've enjoyed your reactions. You'll be missed if you stop, but if it is no longer giving you joy, then move on to what does
Ah, I didn't realize you were Flemish. I grew up very close to Flanders and it will always be my home land. Also, I was just in Ireland and the driving on the left, steering wheel on the right was disconcerting for me as well 😊
Anthony… I’ve been seeing you for a minute but never gave you the flowers… today I subscribed and liked. Appreciate you for your reactions and original music. All ❤❤❤
I appreciate your responses to Ren's videos. Your breakdowns on what is happening with the music in a way i can understand is invaluable (I'm not a musician of any kind). please dont stop doing these. maybe more of a structured setting where it isnt a first react but a dissection and analysis with examples of influences you hear in the music? I BELIEVE analysis of your peers advances your own understanding of the subject (and your gonna do it any way, right?), please keep allowing us to see what you see. Thank you!
ty for reacting to this anthony. stay healthy do what you want to do forget us selfish masses.\, but if i could make one request dont stop making music cause its fire and you are one of the few around that i like musically speaking.
If Ren puts you in your element, just do Ren reactions. I'm still here for it dude 😂
also Harry Mack do that to him👌🏼🔥
Also, Ren's not gonna copyright strike you so you can actually make money reacting to him. If you do get a copyright strike you can appeal it and he'll get rid of it for you.

REN: MURDERER
[Chorus]
If you catch me alone, you better get out my zone because I'm ready to kill
I'll sit on my throne made of bodies and bones because I'm mentally ill
I'm feeling alive, I got the will to survive, so never test my skill
For goodness sake, man, I'm ready to break, man, murderer
Homie, it's the way that I get down, rat-tat-tat-tat
Murderer
If you see me on the corner of my town, get back-back-back
Murderer
Swing for your jaw on the first round, attack, -tack, -tack
Murderer
Homiе, it's the way that I get down
Yeah
[Verse 1]
I was born shamеless, fighting out in Brighton with the neighbours
Brother, ask your mother what my name is
I was born famous, trendsetter, hot stepper, greatest
Shocking like a finger in the anus
I was born wasted, stoned out my brain brother, faded
Writing catchy syllables, contagious
I was born courageous, naked and fucking outrageous
With a microphone, I rock stages
I jump on the rhythm, a rhyming cyclone
And I pull excalibur right out the stone
King punk, the precision it hits like Stallone
Rocky, keep it cocky, I'll be Al Capone
I walk alone, sit on the authors throne
And if you want it, I'll deny it like a mortgage loan
Your daughter's home, we'll be staying home alone
Condone the bone and eat it like a Toblerone, bitch
[Chorus]
If you catch me alone, you better get out my zone because I'm ready to kill
I'll sit on my throne made of bodies and bones because I'm mentally ill
I'm feeling alive, I got the will to survive, so never test my skill
For goodness sake, man, I'm ready to break, man, murderer
Homie, it's the way that I get down, rat-tat-tat-tat
Murderer
If you see me on the corner of my town, get back-back-back
Murderer
Swing for your jaw on the first round, attack, -tack, -tack
Murderer
Homie, it's the way that I get down
Yeah
[Verse 2]
The bigger they come, the bigger they fall
The trigger, the gun, I'm clipping them all
Like eeny-meeny-miny-moe
I line them up against the wall
I don't mean metaphorically, lyrical bullets
I mean actually fucking kill 'em, squeeze the trigger and pull it
Blood splat, how's it going lad, rhymes are flowing mad
Trust that I'm a pro at that, seeds are sewing, bad boy
I'm an addict, volcanic, a mind that's twisted and manic
The rhymes are gifted, God damn it
I push the button, we panic
Breathe, I seize the land sky and the seas, it's easy
See me freestyle freely
What, man?
Yes, I came to rock, man
Drop it like it's hot, fam
Wearing clothes from Oxfam, God damn!
I am a blood-sucking titan from the streets of Brighton
Hit you with my right-hand, sucker
[Chorus]
If you catch me alone, you better get out my zone because I'm ready to kill
I'll sit on my throne made of bodies and bones because I'm mentally ill
I'm feeling alive, I got the will to survive, so never test my skill
For goodness sake, man, I'm ready to break, man, murderer
Homie, it's the way that I get down, rat-tat-tat-tat
Murderer
If you see me on the corner of my town, get back-back-back
Murderer
Swing for your jaw on the first round, attack, -tack, -tack
Murderer
Homie, it's the way that I get down
Yeah

Homie, it's the-, homie, it's the-
Lets be honest Ren only makes absolute bangers, a different feel for every mood... This one tho... catchy and like you say full of substance. Been on near constant repeat since it dropped. Such a fire tune. I cannot wait for the album. soon as that gets announced im investing. Please give me a Vinyl edition tho Ren Please.
EDIT: I understand Anthony if you decide to stop reactions but know man i for one will miss your reactions a lot. You and BP have become my daily watching when im chilling out and youve bought so much good music into my world. You will absolutely be missed if you stop.
Said it before but the man does not write filler songs
The way he sung Murderer is just like in the song Murderer from Barrington Levy, old school Reggea Legend.
Nice how Ren shows his appreciation for musical history..

I also heard that someone called 999 and they were told like yeah, it’s Ren - he told us in advance“
He was actually almost arrested at one point though. After the money game part one video, he went to like Tesco’s or Co-op with the baseball bat still.
He had to show the policeman that arrived his channel to prove that it was just for a video and that he wasn’t caring around a dangerous weapon.😹
This song gets you hooked immediately and each bar is intensely building with energy! Ren came through again and its exciting! Anthony, please dont go anywhere because if you do, we'll have to send Ren out after you❤❤ Seriously, love and respect you❤❤

yes true and Luke needed to use some cuts as he was alone (according to Luke on Joe E's reaction channel). great video!
I knew that you would LOVE this one.
The song is really catchy and has MASSIVE replay value.
The video is quirky.
100% Ren.
I’m a firm believer in walking away from things that don’t bring you joy. Sometimes nothing seems to bring much joy … and usually that means it’s time to shake the tree and let the debris fall away so you can see things more clearly.
What ever you choose to do (continue on the reaction path or walk away), I hope it’s the right choice for you.
However! I will surely miss watching your reactions ♥️
Great reaction and you definitely fooled me that English isn't your first language. And you rap and write lyrics in it?! That's amazing.
This is great. The chorus stays with you, and the video leaves you wanting to know the rest of the story cliffhanger.
Great reaction Anthony!! This song is suck in my head so much... and i love it! Ren said on twitch how all videos are connected... they dude they kidnap is the dude that is tied up in animal flow beginning too! He is always thinking way ahead!
Wacht...... WAT????? Ik dacht dus oprecht dat je een Amerikaan was die "per ongeluk" in België terecht was gekomen!!!! Chapeau!!!!!! Ik doe het je niet na! 😍 Groetjes van je noorderbuur 😘
I always appreciate your reaction. Love your calm, soothing voice explaining things. I'm a 52 year old woman who always said that rap isn't music. It's for people how can't sing. I was a proud New Waver in the 80's and later got into Grunge. Then I found Ren and connected with him. We share in a way the same life with chronic illness and I was blown away by his lyrics. Those where my words said in a way I couldn't.
And through your reactions I learned that there is so much more technicality to rap. I KNOW NOW WHAT BARS ARE!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 I changed my mind.... Rap is music..... but not al rap! 😅
This reggae vibe is Ren's lane. I hope he drops a reggae album one day. 🔥
So a little background info: This video was shot in march of 2022. So this is still, once again, a video from brighton.
There is even a video from it were they got caught shooting this. Very funny.
Let’s get it!!!!!!!
I watched Joe E Sparks reaction and he believes that they were passing the camera off to different people. Which makes sense when you're watching it, the transitions are so clean. Someone was already in the backseat of the car and the camera was handed to them thru the window. I kinda don't wanna know... just chalk it up to the magic of Ren and his team 💜🦇💚
Ren confirmed that it was just a simply passing of the camera to the next person on his live stream
@@Corvid76that's simply not true.
The videographer Luke Flegg confirmed it was just him filming from start to finish.
They did however lean in through the window, cut, then get in the car to restart. Same with getting out. Cut, got out, leaned as far as they could through the window, and brought the camera out through the window for the last shot.
He was so adamant to get it perfect/near perfect, they had to do a 2nd day of filming for it
Good morning, Anthony. I wanted to tell you that you're killin' it with your reactions. Watching this reaction first this a.m. gave me a much welcomed laugh-thanks, man! It helped me turn the corner to a better mood as I wait for meds to kick in. I know this is TMI, but I wanted you to know. You are much appreciated. much love, kathleen
Please don't stop doing reactions! I've only been a subsriber to your channel for a short amount of time but I really, really like the way you do your reactions and the chill vibe you have. Even if you only did 1 or 2 days a week and maybe did a couple of videos each time. There are a lot of reaction channels out there but only a handful of them that you can tell know what they are talking about when it comes to technical stuff like the song writing and the videography. And there are only a few that you can tell truly love music and you do both, have the knowledge and show love for the music itself.
Great reaction to this one! And just remember, Ren is dropping 4 songs in August and the rest of the Sick Boi album in September so that's like 18 songs over the next 2 months❤️❤️❤️❤ ❤
Sad to hear you bit fed up man.. You gotta enjoy your life don't let anything bring you down.. Love your reactions to Ren so far do what makes you happy ❤
The hook was inspired by Barrington Levy's song "murderer" 😊
93' Murderer · Barrington Levy, homage from Ren ;)
Yes!! Finally someone saying it!
@@felixbeaulieu852 Props to Ren too, he dropped Levy's name it in his live stream, Surprised no ones picked up on it!
That coarse is so catchy! People going down the street singing 🎵Murderer🎵. Much love Anthony, have a great day!
Ahh man, don't stop! I love watching your perspective. One of my favourite reactors! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. That camera work in the car blew my mind too. Sam is crazy good.
I hope you will never lose your drive to do reactions, as you are among my favorite reactors. Today was no exception; I always enjoy your insights and commentary. Have a blessed weekend.
Been waiting for your reaction, I love your analysis of this. Obviously language counts, because meaning matters, but after that I'm realising that rap is all musicality. This making of rhythm and choosing of words that sound pleasing to the ear is present in prose, but it's super concentrated in rap. It's beautiful, seriously.
Thanks for sharing your time with us. Sucks the platform doesn’t make it more worth your while so am glad to see what you do react to. I am a ren fan and found you through that or black Pegasus and am really glad.
One take, one camera, two camera people. Well thought out.
And what more can be said...Ren.
Blessings.
Do what you enjoy, no point putting yourself through the ringer if it isn't worth it. Really enjoy your reactions for what it is worth!
❤❤❤ Thanks for reacting to this today 😀 I would have waited until you were in the mood, but it's good to see Ren cheered you up
It's such a catchy song and so so good, an instant fav! Loved your reaction as always, great job man! Also as someone who doesn't have English as their first language (I'm Spanish) I feel you, it can be hard to express some things in English and they come out easily in your first language but you're doing really well with your English, hard to tell you're not a native speaker for those who don't know you!
Great reaction thank you Anthony. It's a catchy little number. I believe it is a one take, but sam isn't the cinematographer.
Always enjoy your honesty. I hope all is well with you - you seem a little low ❤
Ren's music is just straight interesting. The lyrics, rhythms and flows just slam. He tells stories. He's unique
Keep with the Ren reactions dude, you are one of the best without a doubt. Could see you had fun with this track as well, I love how Ren switches between singing and rapping in this which can't be easy to do
Thanks for a great reaction to a complete banger of a track. 🔥🔥 Went to bed with this in my head a couple of hours after the premiere and had it on repeatedly since then.
Think this is a great homage to Barrington Levy. Love how, as you said, Ren incorporates old styles and blends them into his work. Can’t wait to see what he does next.
Thanks Anthony 🔥
I think Ren has both vibrato and tremolo in his singing voice.
Hey Antony I’m sorry to hear that you’re going through some burnout right now.
I want to thank you for being open about it. And showing just as with all elements of mental health and self care we will all experience varying degrees of the highs and lows of all of spectrum of life.
And sometimes we need to hear it from people like you (those in the limelight/appear to have it all) to realise we are not alone.
I know that you know this But maybe you might appreciate hearing/being reminded by someone else?
You are also 100% correct ‘you can not please everyone’ we all go through a period in life where we believe if we try hard enough surely we will be able to?
Then comes the realisation that we have pert near killed our selves trying to please them all.
Followed by the freedom of no longer caring and just enjoying being ourselves without having to worry about what others may think of us. I would go so far as to say it’s part of ‘defining ourselves’ btw I will be buying some of your merch.
You are a huge talent in your own right and I am sure if you wanted to change the direction/content of your channel in whichever way sparks your creative joy then your true fans will come along on that journey with you. I for sure will be one of them.
Apart from enjoying your knowledge and the way you share it with helping us to understand the many nuances of music and what you are reacting to, I personally love the timbre of your voice so I would listen to you read out the phone book! 😂
The First Time Reaction lane in TH-cam in my opinion is over saturated so I would have no problem with you bringing us music videos of artists you love and may have watched a 1000 times , you could share why you love it and still point out all of the technical stuff people like me have no clue about. You could say what ever it is you want to share with us and we will watch it and enjoy seeing your love and passion and your own enjoyment.
Obviously I have no clue how TH-cam works or the limitations they put on you but essentially I’m trying to say just bring us what brings you joy and sparks your creativity and we will love it too! Those that don’t just love it simply don’t belong in your tribe and that is perfectly ok! They can scroll on by and your intended tribe will find their way to you.
With ❤ from 🇦🇺
I think Ren shows that anyone can feel that rage and be the murderer. Look at the reactions to the Oil protestors in London where people, to be fair, have shown incredible restraint but have been driven by frustration to violence. Anyone can get to that.
Your reactions are the best on the 'tube, in my humble opinion. I only watch 2 or 3 reaction channels these days, and I never miss yours. 💜 💯
Ren does the Rap Genre justice plus the inclusion of many other musical elements stretches the Genre. Correction: Luke is the pro videographer for today, like he's got something to prove with the smooth moves! Glad you reconsidered, Anthony!!
Luke Flegg that was the videographer for this one 👍🎥
@@BeeyaCreativeSelf Thanks for correcting me. ✌️
I was astounded by the camera work this time as well. Per usual. Not a lot of people notice or appreciate Sam’s work. He captures the movements and emotions so well. Him and Ren are in sync. On a different level. I also was wondering how he got out of the car with the camera. Watched it like 15 times but it does look like he opens the door slightly but I could be wrong.
It was Luke Flegg that was the videographer for this one ,tho both him and Samuel are very talented 👍
@@BeeyaCreativeSelf oh nice. Yea they both do fantastic work. They know the image Ren is going for. The timing for some of the lyrics was perfect
Don't give up man! Your one of my top go too's for reactions. But you do what you have to, keep your chin up bro. ❤from the UK 🇬🇧 🇬🇧
There's a reason why you're one of the top Reactors Ray, and a favourite amongst the RENegades, you add substance to the substance, help explain the cadences & rhyme schemes etc. This isn't the first time either I've seen you say Ren puts you "in the mood" or inspires your own music production so as someone else said, if Ren puts you in your element stick with Ren and the artists who fire or inspire you for any reactions.
The Toblerone bar is the ultimate disrespect for anyone who wants to make Ren an enemy- not only will he F your daughter, but he'll watch her eating the bone & enjoying it like a delicious treat while calling your daughter a dog. I can imagine that would drive a lot of fathers crazy if an enemy did that to his precious daughter- It's such a naughty line!
Sinister with a boppin beat. How Ren. 😏 Love it, and your reaction! Definitely a 90s-esque rap with a smidgen of reggae. So good!
P.S. The entire video is seemingly a one-take, but I don't think it was shot by Samuel. (Don't care if it wasn't actually a one-take that weirdos are arguing about. The final result masterfully appears to be a one-take. Great job, and I also love the focus shift from the Pig's eyes to Ren further away.)
@Antohony Ray Reacts
ben blij dat een belgishe rapper/reactor so veel credit krijgt en dat hij mijn favorite aristen ook in het oog heeft,, you sir got my sub.
First, go Ren, second great reaction, and finally, I would not know that English is not your first language until,I heard you speaking Dutch. I mean even when you say y’all it is spot on ( trust me I am from Alabama and I say y’all many times a day 😂😂) Also, your grammar is much better than most average Americans. Your voice is made to be heard so please don’t stop reactions! But, if you do I will still listen to your music because it is so wonderful! Great reaction! Keep doing you! 🫶🏻
"It's a small world after all" had just been beaten out by "Murderer" at the catchiest song to get stuck in your head all bloody day.
AND btw Anthony....i simply love your reactions! You are smart, funny and really know your stuff. You are wise to protect your mental health but I would really miss hearing and watching you! Your English is most excellent also.
Do what you love! You are a fun reactor, maybe only do a few here and there (or just do all the Ren ones as he is about to drop the whole album soon!!!!!!) I also enjoy your music which I found through your reaction videos. Much love!
Keep going Ray we need you, no pressure, just love
Take care man
Daz
He definitely got that old school soul vibe, love it
Luv how u said an old soul. After listening to Ren’s music now for a while now that’s a fire explanation of Ren. Everything he brings is fire 🔥
This is a Great reaction! Thanks so much. I totally understand burnout and hope you will remember to relax and breathe. I prescribe listening to your favorite Ren tracks for their sheer totality. Let your mind enjoy without feeling the pressure to analyze anything about them.. Under it all, Ren's work is dedicated to healing even when it's not obvious in the title Or lyrics. To reinvigorate, put yourself In Joy! The Renegades love you very much and will continue to do so even if you take a long vacation. (PS I just saw that this reaction has garnered FIFTEEN THOUSAND views in 2 short days!! Ren will be dropping a whole wheel barrow filled with new tracks very soon, so if you feel like it, you might consider doing reactions to Ren only!!)
Please don’t stop reacting you’re one of the best. By that I mean your analysis is excellent, keep it going.
We love the reactions!
here comes the hotstepper lol, beat reminds me of house of pain. song is fire and hes a lyrical gangsta in this one! thanks for a great reaction
I hope you don’t stop doing reaction videos. You’re one of my favorites ! You’re a natural at explaining and breaking things down that I may miss or don’t quite understand. ❤😊
You have a better grasp on English than most of us English speakers 😂😂. I if you need to take a hiatus to make more songs for us. Please do😊. Mental health though comes before anything . Take a break have some fun. We will be here waiting. ❤️🔥 reaction
I really enjoy your reactions!!
Great reaction, thanks, enjoyed that a lot 🖤
Your Rocky impression is GOLD! AND great responses - always! X
Love your reactions and your English is phenomenal for it not being your first language!
AND you have a sexy voice.
Great reaction I was waiting on yours. Keep doing what makes you happy!
Please Ray don't 🛑 you yourself has reached others and introduce us to inspiring music too my 6 yr old gets a kick when you rap in your native tongue😂❤❤😂😂
Glad you found your inspiration to keep grinding for another day. We appreciate what you do. DON'T STOP!!! Okay???
I love it when a artists influences bleed out in their music. Ultimate homage imo.
Even though one doesn’t speak Dutch, when you rap in you native tongue the feeling translates, if you understand what is meant…
Do whatever makes you happy a lot of us would still be here. They passed it to someone hiding in the backseat, the camera
Great reaction. Do what's best for you, man. Life's too short to not do what you love instead of wasting time on what you don't. ❤
Don't comment often, but just wanted to say that I've enjoyed your reactions. You'll be missed if you stop, but if it is no longer giving you joy, then move on to what does
I’m enjoying this breakdown ❤
I’m so stoked! A Ren song for my workout playlist 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for your great reaction!
Ah, I didn't realize you were Flemish. I grew up very close to Flanders and it will always be my home land. Also, I was just in Ireland and the driving on the left, steering wheel on the right was disconcerting for me as well 😊
Keep doing reactions mate, you're obviously very good at it.... This tune has some strong Barrington Levy vibes in the hook. Great reaction!!
Love YOUR bangerz #AnthonyRayReacts. #Ren's is a proper banger too, love the beat. Groovy as
Great reaction, thank you for posting.
Anthony… I’ve been seeing you for a minute but never gave you the flowers… today I subscribed and liked. Appreciate you for your reactions and original music. All ❤❤❤
The chorus seems to be a tribute or shout out to a 1980's reggae song by Barrington Levy also titled, "Murderer."
I appreciate your responses to Ren's videos. Your breakdowns on what is happening with the music in a way i can understand is invaluable (I'm not a musician of any kind).
please dont stop doing these. maybe more of a structured setting where it isnt a first react but a dissection and analysis with examples of influences you hear in the music? I BELIEVE analysis of your peers advances your own understanding of the subject (and your gonna do it any way, right?), please keep allowing us to see what you see.
Thank you!
ty for reacting to this anthony. stay healthy do what you want to do forget us selfish masses.\, but if i could make one request dont stop making music cause its fire and you are one of the few around that i like musically speaking.
LoL someone called the police actually lolol. But Ren had informed the Brighton Police he would be filming and the context.
Great reaction, great breakdown. Keep going we enjoy it.
Woke up with this song in my head 😂❤
great break down of a really difficult lyrics. Thank you!
please keep reacting love your break down of music ❤❤❤
Great reaction to a great song. Sending hugs 🤗
Just brilliant, great reaction.
Here for it my man!
Absolutely looooeve it, all the stuff coming from you ❤❤❤
Congrats on 200K subs bro
Since Ren drop the song and I vibe it, I was waiting to hear your break down.
This could be Part One just don't know what Ren is going to pull out of the bag yet :) Redrum may even be in the trunk :)
