New sub here from Arizona, I'm here for any and all Ren reactions. As a 54 year old music lover my whole life, Ren has reconfigured my mind for the better and REN-EWED my heart & soul by making me really hear music for the 1st time in my life! Thank you for the great reaction! 😁 what an amazing journey awaits you!
I enjoyed your reaction. Thank you. It was measured and appreciative. Subbed. I'm new to your channel, so I don't know what you like. Ren is a genre bender. He does everything, and always in his own way. if you like the performance stuff, then try The trilogy: The Tale of Jenny and Screech (and Violet's Tale) - all three. They go together. if you like rap, then hear him flex with 'The Hunger' or 'Losing It' if you want to hear his remarkable vocal skills, try Fred Again Mash Up if you want to hear him do Reggae, try I Shot the Sherrif/Road to Zion/Hip Hop, with his band, The Big Push. The one with the Red Braces. If you want to hear his ensemble work, with other members of The Big Push, try 'Bongo Bong' If you want to tear up, try 'Suicide' or 'Crutch' If you want to get political, try Money Game 1, 2, and 3, and Money Ties. If you want to hear his song writing and duetting, try 'Chalk Outline' or 'How to be Me' with Chinchilla. If you want to get into his biography, try 'Sick Boi'. if you want to hear him blow an almighty fuse, try Kujo Beatdown (a response to getting hustled by a beat producer - Kujo) He also does a lot of cheeky fun stuff. If that appeals, try 'Uninvited' or 'Love Music 4'. There is no end to him. Whatever you pick, it is bound to surprise.
So nice to meet you!! I'm in the chronically ill camp of the Renegades, and although every Ren song is my favorite, Seven Sins and How to be Me (live with Chinchilla) and Troubles tell my story. You can't go wrong though, Ren doesn't make bad songs!!!💜
Loved the reaction! I have a strong feeling you're about to join the RENegades. "Favourite" is a real tough one with Rens' music. "Sick Boi" is a good follow-up, which helps to put Rens' mental and physical health struggles into perspective. For storytelling, the trilogy, "The Tale of Jenny and Screech" is quite brilliant. If you want mind blowing rap and beats, try "The Hunger". If you want something up-ful and positive, there's "Power". A song that will reduce you to tears is, "For Joe". Close to my heart (and perhaps yours) is a song about the downside of antidepressants, "Chalk Outline". His street-band, The Big Push are really something too - the mash-up that starts with "I Shot the Sheriff" is fantastic. He also duets with numerous friends, including the amazing Chinchilla -"Chalk Outlines" or "How to be Me" come to mind. With Ren, whatever musical direction you go in (and he does it all) you won't be disappointed. He's genuinely something special. (And a really nice bloke).
🔥🔥🔥 lets go That was a live performance recorded in one take by the way Since Ren is a singer and rapper and a musician that plays piano bass guitar produces beats and his own music, its hard to pick up one sing cause all are diffferent , but I like "Fred Again" mash up its an acoustic live recorded song ( not rap) as well. Peace✌️
FRED again Mashup 5 edm songs re configured and sung with his acoustic guitar with enough emotion to leave you speechless. Chalk Outlines live with Chinchilla forpiwerful singing duet. Wade in the Water/Trouble so Hard/Nina Simone, with The Big Push
I can't pick a favorite but the one I resonate with most is sevin sins. But I've listen to this one at least a couple of thousand times at this point watching others. IT NEVER GETS OLD watching others discover him
Impossible to pick a favorite. Ren’s songs are all completely different. He doesn’t have a genre. I tend to listen to the albums all the way through. He’s a genius, and it comes through in his music. He doesn’t ever disappoint. He’s struggling with his health right now. Any love you can show him would be greatly appreciated. Your subs will grow exponentially. Great reaction, mate! I subbed. 😉❤️
Welcome to Ren, he’s his own man and crosses many genres. His personal story is amazing too. Buckle up my friend you’re about to be blown away. For a personal favourite choice, try out ‘Hold on’ he wrote and performed it at the height of his illness.
I'd been waiting for this! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've got news for you though he's not just a rapper. He's an artist. For instance did you notice the entire video was done live and was a one take? As for further reactions his Money Game Trilogy is phenomenal. If you'd like to see other styles from him his Tales Trilogy is story driven. Back On 74 is great if you'd like more singing. Basically you can't go wrong
I'm happy to see a few Ren fans have found ya. Good music and a good fan base. Also don't forget Ren supports reactors so if you have any issues with videos getting claimed just reach out to him and his team and they'll fix it. You're in for quite the ride here and I'm excited to watch it. Also if you wanna know what kind of person Ren is watch his million subscriber video.
@@Darkmage4 Hopefully it gets fixed soon. It'll likely be more his team than Ren himself as he's had a health set back and is due another intensive round of treatment. Hopefully it goes even better for him this time and he can get back to doing what he loves
How to be me and/or Chalk Outlines are probably the most beautiful. Murderer and Power are very catchy. Money Game 1-3 are amazing (lyric video for 2). And the 3 parts of The Tale of Jenny and Screech for story telling. So many good tracks
Great reaction!❤ Thanks for supporting Ren! My favorites of Ren are: The trilogy of Jenny’s Tale, Screech’s Tale & Violet’s Tale The Hunger The Big Push (REN’s band) busking on the streets in the UK: I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/HipHop (the Live video with Ren wearing red suspenders) Money Game part 1, 2 & 3
Nice reaction. Lots of his music is powerful and emotional and will make you shake to your core. But he’s also got tons of lighter hearted and fun tunes with great videos (one of his best friends does the cinematography). Some fun ones would be: What you Want Losing It (Fisher) Any of the 4 love songs (or all) He also used to play in 2 bands (The Big Push and Trick the Fox). I’d listen to the Big Push’s Bongo Bong, I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop (*has to be the one in red suspenders) or War Pigs. All of it is so fun and his talent and the talent he collaborates with are impeccable and will wow you each time. But the crème of the crop is the Tale of Jenny and Screech (and Violet’s tale) trilogy. Best storytelling in this century. Enjoy the ride. And the Ren fan base (known as the Renegades). We’ll have your back all the way through.
Ren is a student of music he goes right back to early styles of music and early rap. He loves early Nas Eminem etc Vera Hall and Django Reinhardt Nat King Cole Nina Simone Sting Etc
For rap check out Losing It. For singing check out Back on 74/Message in a bottle. I think I'm down to about 5 favorites now. 😅 Welcome to the Reniverse! Looming forward to more Ren reactions.
Welcome to the wonderful world of ren, where you can always expect the unexpected 😊 subbed in hopes of more ren reactions, hes truly a once in a generation type artist 🥹💜💜
REN will leave you speechless, laughing, crying & everything in between ❤ he’s one in a billion artist! His Band The Big Push are all top notch artists as well. If you do Jenny & Screech’s tales make sure to do the trilogy all together. ❤
Ok!! When I introduce an artist to my channel I do 3 days (1 week) of that artist only! So I’ll definitely do the trilogy! Wednesday, Friday, Saturdays are my upload days! So look forward to that. I don’t know when I’ll do it. Probably this week for next week. Or the next week after that! 😁
@cabbagebank haha. Maybe! I do have other artists I have to do! Usually do them in rotation. Like I’m not sure if you’ve heard of these artists, but I also do VoicePlay, a Japanese Band called Band-Maid, Tommy Johansson, Dan Vasc, and a few others. 😁 but I intend to add 1 more day eventually to the roster. It depends on time! lol. As I also stream games too. 😊
Su*c*de, For Joe,Sic Boi, Murderer,Money Game 1-3,and Tale of Jenny & Screech (&Violet) trilogy also, the Hunger, Genesis, Humble,Ocean,Chalk Outlines,and I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop mash up with his babd the Big Push….the list is ENDLESS & EVERY song is INCREDIBLE!!! Ren is a lyrical master and genius!his words are from a place of personal experience and wisdom from real honest pain….and we Renegades ADORE,RESPECT,LOVE, ADMIRE,& SUPPORT Ren is ALL he does.he is a TRUE & AUTHENTIC artist!! Thank you for your reaction. 🎶❤️✌🏻
Hi, loving your reaction of Ren, Good one to listen to is penitence with Molly McKinna maybe not next, but later in the rabbit hole also Chalk outlines with chinchilla, all amazing artists
Great reaction! I've subscribed. You can't go wrong with any of the suggestions in the comments for your next Ren adventure. He's amazing. Some lyrics from his song "Losing It/Fisher Rap Retake" sum him up (there's a bit of rapper flexing here, which he's brilliant at and richly deserves): "The rhythm, the rebel, the bass and the treble The angel, the devil, you're not on my level I'm very unsettled, I'm very disheveled I'm messed in my mental, just check my credentials". Indeed.
Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole it's deep and very wonderful. So much to discover. For his story telling try the tales. Jenny and Screeches tale (full). Masterpiece
You have stumbled in to a great deep rabbit hole... You will constantly be left speechless. The journey is sometimes hard but you will always be thankful for embarking in it
I think you gonna like Genesis (one of my fevorite)❤, If you want some rap +guitar Tales of Jenny and Screech (trilogy 13min video). And Ren look younger then he actually is (he is 34 years )
When Ren is introduced to new listeners / Reactors as a 'Rapper, it grinds my gears. Yes, he can Rap, brilliantly! But he is Far FAR More than this. Rapping is "only one string to his bow."! And - there are a LOT of people out there who have no time for or interest in Rap, which means many may dismiss such a recommendation- & then MISS Out on one of THE GREATEST CREATIVE MULTI-SKILLED & INDEPENDANT ARTISTS we have on this planet in our lifetimes.
Well, considering this is a rap song, and his lyrics/rapping skills are beyond and better than Eminem. Then this song is a rap. I do music too, I do rap as well. I however don’t consider myself a rapper. As I am an EDM artist too. But I label my rap songs as… rap. I don’t get why several people are so mad that I put the greatest rapper of all time in the title. When THIS song literally IS a RAP song…
Fire reaction😊. Subbed for more Ren reactions. "Power" is my favorite but "Masochist" is also very good. Hard but good..😁 That said, all are good. Also the collabs that Ren did with others...good...🤗 There's not one collab i didn't like. Big push, a band he was in...also fire. You can't go wrong with Ren..🙈🥰
Ren is just special. Whatever you react to, you can't go wrong. If you want more unique sort of theater art like "Hi Ren," 'bardcore,' if you will, go for "The Tales of Jenny & Screech." Do the full 3 part piece (there is also Violet's Tale included) all at once. It flows together in a way that it doesn't when you do them separately. If you want something more singing/guitar, upbeat, do, "Back On 74/Message In A Bottle (Retake)." If you want serious rap, rap, go for, "The Hunger." If you want a fun homage to The Beastie Boys, go with, "What You Want." If you go down this rabbit hole, you will likely wind up in tears at some point; Ren sings of real life and doesn't shy away from some of the heavier topics. You may want to intersperse those heavier topics with lighter songs as palette cleansers in between. Some may hit a bit too close to home, so pace yourself even though you'll want to dive in and never stop. I envy you, being at the beginning of your Ren journey. You will likely find yourself thrown into Ren's fans, his built-in audience of Renegades, because we all like to relive our first experiences with Ren's catalog of art. Welcome! 😉
As a Renegade I love them all. 😍 But… “How to be me” with Ren and Chinchilla the live version or “Back to ‘74” 😅 New sub for more Ren - nice reaction 👌
Wow, glad you found us. Favorite song? That's gonna be hard for most of us. For more story telling with a message philosophically, the Tales of Jenny and Screech full version with Violet's Tale is a must but trigger warning. It's deep and dark.
I always say that my favorite Ren song is the one I'm listening to. 😂 However, of his rap songs, Money Ties and Murderer are high on the list. For singing, Fred Again Mashup (a song he created from four Fred Again songs) and Chalk Outlines.
Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole. Your brilliant reaction suggests that you are a nascent Renegade. I have subbed to enjoy this wonderous journey with you.
Subbed! I'll throw "Losing It" into the Ren pile -- original rap lyrics over an EDM beat by Fisher. Really fun stuff, good as a cushion in between some of his more somber tracks.
Thanks for your reaction 👍❤ There isn't a single song by Ren that I think is bad. There are some songs by him that have made a lot of people cry. And welcome to the world of Ren. A roller coaster ride through emotions, wisdom, musical genius and genres. Ren Eryn Gill is a multi-instrumentalist and producer. He sings, raps and writes his songs, lyrics and video scripts himself. He was born in Wales in 1990. He moved to Brighton in 2013 and did a lot of busking. He studied music performance at Bath Spa University. In 2009 he became seriously ill and had difficulty attending lectures. In 2010, he was signed to Sony Records. However, as his health continued to deteriorate, he had to terminate the contract. Today he is an independent artist. In October 2023, his album "Sick Boi" was number one in the British album charts. Ren was initially misdiagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder and chronic fatigue syndrome, which led to him suffering from psychosis. It was not until seven years later that a doctor in Belgium finally diagnosed him with autoimmunity and Lyme disease, which led to brain, organ and joint damage as well as PTSD. After stem cell therapy in the United States, his health improved considerably. However, he continues to suffer greatly from his illnesses. In early 2023, he went to Canada for about a year and a half for treatment. In July 2024 he came back to the UK to play hist first concert after five years (look for The Secret Garden Party). At the end of September, Ren posted that the treatment for Lyme disease co-infection Bartonella had not worked. Eight months of grueling treatment with various antibiotics had not led to success. He therefore wanted to travel back to Canada for further treatment at the end of October 2024. Then the symptoms of Bartonella came back. But unfortunately, things got even worse: During a video shoot, he had an autoimmune flare and experienced severe pain. He had to be taken to the emergency room. He lost vision in one eye for three days. He started recovering in the UK and is now back in Canada for further treatment. He just made a brief comment on the outcome of the US election on his community tab. I really hope that means he's feeling a little better. On his RenMakesStuff channel you can find an autobiographical reading about his story in eight chapters. From the end of his best friend Joe, over becoming ill, getting and losing the contract with Sony, via his odyssey through various diagnosis and attempts of treatments to becoming at least better after his stem cell treatment. Absolutely worth watching. You will understand his songs even better afterwards and they become even more intense. Very personal and emotional videos. His song Troubles is a kind of condensation of these readings.
Try Chalk Outlines (I think you will adore this even though it is a duet - Probably close to what you do content wise). In fact maybe lot of his Rap you will relate to. My favourite Rap: 1. Castles made of Sand (special track only available on Bandicam) 2. Lost All Faith (Lyric Video) - all his lyric video's are great 3. Seven Sins To be honest these are advanced Ren Pain songs. They are probably best watched after some others because Ren has layers but you can watch them early.... Catsles is just a pure pain song but OMG, the words... over an Anime beat. Great Songs(S) or Rap(R) (he has many, no particular order for what comes to mind) S - Chalk Outlines (I think you will recognise this as 100% a depression song) S - Back on 74 / Message ina bottle remake S - Fred Agan Mashup R - Ready for You S - Humble R - Power R - Hold On R - Money game series (I like 1 most because it is gritty, but part 3 won awards) S/R - The Tale of Jenny and screech (13 minute version) Do Not list to Violets tale separatey as it is part 3 of this masterpiece. S/R - Murderer (both versions are great) R - Sick Boi R - Wicked Ways R - Mashochist R - The Hunger jesus, I'll stop there, so many more
RENEGADES ASSEMBLE! Ohhhhh MAN brother you have no idea what you stumbled into. I'm a 70s rock and roll hippie in my mid-60s and there was the me before Ren and now there's the better me after Ren. You are now a member of a family known as the RENegades and we are legion. We all love and care for each other and we are always there for each other as well as anyone we can help in the ways that we are individually able to - just as much of Ren's material ushers us to do. Anyway, welcome, others can guide you I just wanted to welcome you, new brother, because I know - like anyone else - once you hear Ren's music and messages you will be helpless but to become a sibling RENegade 😉
Nice!! We do movie nights! Classic horrors as well! We’ve done silent horrors to 50s-90s every Saturday night we do lives with movie reactions! We can’t show movies anymore because we got a strike at one point. lol. So, we have people watch along with other links! Normally 8:30PM central time. Every Saturday, and every other Friday. This Friday being a found footage night. Hell House LLC! (One of my faves!) I am the co host with @kitzmomediagroup. (Whom I also recommended REN too as well btw!) you’re welcome to join us! 😁
Hey! Great reaction 😁. And new sub here. #RENegade
4 วันที่ผ่านมา +1
1st Q: my fav is Money Game pt.2, but it's better to discover the series in order. 2nd Q: where should you go next into that rabbit hole? The usual answer is Screech & Jennie's tales (full) if you want to go deeper. But in his catalogue there's no miss, no skip. So you could as well go random. Then, you'll get to his busking band: The Big Push. Prepare yourself for a nice good slap in the face EACH TIME! Enjoy
Welcome from a closet Renagade. Ren is a rabbit hole that is quite large. A favorite Ren song is a tough question, because his catalogue is so diverse. For Story telling I would pick the ""Tales" trilogy (The Tales of Jenny and Screech) or Money Game 3. For Fun Ren ... I enjoy "Power," "Losing It", "What you Want". For rappity rap ... I think the "Hunger" wins ... His backstory is quite rough. as he was misdagnosed with mental illness (psychosis) while having Lyme Disease. He is slightly better, but living with Lyme Disease for as long as he did he suffered quite a bit of permanent damage and still suffers from chronic auto immune issues.
Thanks for your reaction ❤️ I wonder if the poor subtitles can be changed by others, or we just have to wait for a TH-cam human to correct it. It's so bad 😢
Oh.. I wrote my comment before you asked the favorite question.. My favorite song is all songs from Ren 😅 But at the moment I listen to Depression and Murderer over and over 🥳🥳
Haha. Yeahh… so, for subtitles, the creator can do it themselves. It is auto generated. Or a creator can have people appointed to do it. Otherwise. All he has to do is copy/paste his lyrics in, and it’ll fix it.
Subbed for MORE REN! Would like to see you react to Murderer official music video and Murderer live version in one go! Tales Trilogy is a must, also. Soon, if not next. ❤
I think for the most part I did. There may have been excitement and I didn’t rewind it at certain points. lol. But I normally 100% do actually rewind. 😁
Just think it's also live like most of Ren music. I suggest listening to Mackay first after this, suicide and his song that's a follow up to suicide called for Joe. But for Joe is my favorite but you'll def tear up because it's all real
Favorite Ren? Not possible to choose! But OK, here are some performances to show the polar opposites of his abilities, covering different genres like pop, rap, soul, reggae, EDM, grunge, folk - genres are in (-): -Back on 74 (Soul) - Halftime (Rap - old school boom bap Hip Hop) - Wicked Ways (UK style Rap) - Mackay (Classic piano instrumental) -Swan Song, with his band The Big Push (Folk) - I shot the sheriff/ Road to Zion/ Hip Hop (reggae and rap mashup) -The Tale of Jenny & Screech (Bardcore) - Ready for you (pop) - Jessica (RnB/Rap) - Crutch (pop/grunge/metal) - Down On The Beat (EDM/Rap) Enjoy!
@ And bear in mind he’s a multi instrumentalist, writing, producing, performing while also directing, acting and arranging his own videos. This is an artist who is even more versatile than Prince was!
Great reaction! Ren often brings out emotion in people, hes a musical genius and an amazing human being. If you like music that's more toward the mental health or health issues in general, i would suggest Sick Boi Chalk outlines How to be me Troubles Dominoes For Joe Su*cide Just to name a couple on the heavier side. 😊
Ren was making music before NF and is a far superior rapper and performer. Believe me you haven't heard anything yet, when it comes to him rapping. Ren can rap like a rap god and is a world-class lyricist, up there with Pink Floyd, Dylan, Bowie etc. If there's any "inspiration" there, it's likely the other way around! :) Also, unlike NF, he's fully independent! As for Eminem, he's apparently a huge admirer of Ren's. When it comes to rapping I'd place Ren objectively on the same level as Eminem, though personally, I think Ren's even better! :) BUT... Ren is a LOT more than just a rapper and he writes and performs in every genre. Ren raps like a rap god, scats and beatboxes brilliantly but he also has incredible vocals, capable of multiple voices, styles and tones. You'll be blown away when you hear him really sing! :) Ren plays about a dozen instruments well. Half of them RIDICULOUSLY well! All self-taught! He sets up his own recordings and is his own audio engineer. He's a top-notch producer, who lays down his own music/beats audio. Any backing singing or background vocalisations you hear on Ren tracks, is usually Ren himself. He's an incredible performer and his stage presence is palpable! Ren directs and edits most of his own videos and many of those videos, like Hi Ren, are recorded live, in a single take! A technique for which he's renowned and has won numerous major international awards for! His songwriting is world-class! Especially his lyricism. He's a poet really and a bloody GREAT poet at that! :) Ren is fully independent. No label, no financial backing, no PR machine or publicist, no management company. Every label under the Sun has tried to sign Ren. He's turned them all down! With Ren it really is all about the music! :) Ren is chronically ill, has long term damage to his body and brain and is in constant, 24hr pain! At his worst he was bedridden for the best part of 7 years! He has Lyme's disease, MCAS, Bartonella, severe autoimmunity, (making him highly allergic to virtually all food) neuropathy, adhd, ptsd and chroinic depression. He also suffers from a whole host of associated conditions! I won't go into further details, or I'd be here all night. Suffice it to say that he's suffered horrendously and continues to do so. He's currently back in Canada, undergoing months of intensive, unpleasant and debilitating treatment. Among many other effects, his health problems and treatments have left him unable to tour or to properly promote his work. Despite all the above and despite being out of the country at the time, in the middle of an earlier session of an 18 months of intensive experimental treatment in Canada... Ren made history last year, becoming the first fully independent artist to achieve a number 1 UK album! Knocking Drake off the top spot in the process! The album,'Sick Boi', also went top 10 in several other countries, topped the US hip-hop album chart and reached number 1 on the iTunes worldwide chart! Ren's a unique artist. A musical genius! A once in a generation talent! He's also a wonderful and inspirational human being, as you'll discover. :) After hearing just a single song, you may believe that all I've written is hyperbole. If you continue getting to know the man and his music, you'll realise that it really isn't. :) tl/dr - Ren's great! Ren's music is great! Definitely react to more Ren! You won't be disappointed. You WILL be surprised... constantly! :)
That is quite a life! I suffer from back pain 24/7 and a bad ankle. I just got used to hiding it very well. I’ve never heard of ren before, and that actually makes me a bit sad! Because if Eminem really likes ren, then why haven’t I heard of him? He should have at least been in my recommendations! Either way, I’m listening now!! 😁 I’m rooting for him! I hope he recovers well!
❤ subbing for more Ren please, im hoping u join us in the rabbit hole. My favourite Ren songs are back on 74 and what u want and seven sins. He does a heck of a lot of hard songs, but i enjoy the light ones like these
Hahaha! tbh I wouldn't put it up on my channel if I didn't enjoy it! :D I dont want my face to be straight, and not really reacting to it. But REN is good, and I'll be doing more soon! :D
It's always best NOT to use auto-generated subtitles. They'll lead you astray a LOT more than if you just focus on listening instead. They also detract from the performance and Ren's a consummate performer. Even if the subtitles were 100% accurate, (instead of 50%) words account for only a small percentage of human communication. If you feel you need to catch every lyric on a first listen, you're better off pulling them up from a lyric website, so that you can check those that you miss. Also Ren usually pins the lyrics in the comments. :)
Yeah, I get you! The subtitles are not for me though. :) even if they’re messed up. At least my viewers who view my other videos are able to follow along if the lyrics are available. ☺️
Tales of Jenny and Screech.. MUST do all three together. But buckle up, there is not a REN song that isn’t better than the last one you heard. I’m 67 yo.. Ren may be the greatest talent in my lifetime.
By no means is it meant to be an insult. Nor Intended. This was my FIRST song from him. This is a rap song. So, you can understand why I added it in? Whatever the song is, is what the tags are added in as. So, if it was a rock song. rock tag would have been added. If it was an EDM song, a tag would have been added as an EDM, and so on so forth. I hope you can understand that.
@Darkmage4 ok. If you say so. Imo, 99% of us reaction watchers like me have seen Ren's videos hundreds of times already and I'm pretty sure they would agree that the captions on Ren's videos are terrible. I'll let the other responders inform you but like I said, it will be a spoiler if you can read before he sings on J&S tales. Just saying.
Oh they have, I know. But a few viewers that watch my content like captions on even if it’s messed up due to hearing impairment. I always link the original video too for anyone wanting to read the lyrics if the artist posted the lyrics. I myself don’t pay attention to them unless I’m specifically asked to pay attention to them on others. Also got to remember. Everyone there that knows ren, like you said has seen the videos hundreds of times but me introducing a new artist to a channel of 2000 people who are watchers of other artists also get to view a new artist when I introduce them to this. I in hopes to do reactions to add more music to others’ library. 😁 funny thing is. I get 100s of complaints of having them off, and get 100s of complaints having them on. Can’t please everyone I’m sure you very well know. :) Also, I checked some of your videos, since we have mutual followings like Matti, Thinking Art Entertainment (friends with Wes btw!) And Peter McKinnon, probably a few more I am missing! But I too have several movies. Found footage! Definitely check those out if you want! I do a variety on this channel! :)
@@Darkmage4 I would think if they have hearing impairment, they would use their own captions to follow your video and the captions would still pick up the captions to Ren's video. But ok. It's your channel. You are right you can't please everyone. My saying is "You can't please 100% of the people 100% of the time". It's cool we follow some of the channels. I love horror shorts and creating them as well. I have a few on my channel. I will go check out your found footage. Is that the ones with the cemeteries? I just watched one.

New sub here from Arizona, I'm here for any and all Ren reactions. As a 54 year old music lover my whole life, Ren has reconfigured my mind for the better and REN-EWED my heart & soul by making me really hear music for the 1st time in my life! Thank you for the great reaction! 😁 what an amazing journey awaits you!
Thanks for subbing!! And indeed! 😁
Every song i hear becomes my new favorite. Glad you hopped aboard the Ren train. Subbed for Ren!
Thanks! And there will be many more reactions to come! 😁
I enjoyed your reaction. Thank you. It was measured and appreciative. Subbed.
I'm new to your channel, so I don't know what you like. Ren is a genre bender. He does everything, and always in his own way.
if you like the performance stuff, then try The trilogy: The Tale of Jenny and Screech (and Violet's Tale) - all three. They go together.
if you like rap, then hear him flex with 'The Hunger' or 'Losing It'
if you want to hear his remarkable vocal skills, try Fred Again Mash Up
if you want to hear him do Reggae, try I Shot the Sherrif/Road to Zion/Hip Hop, with his band, The Big Push. The one with the Red Braces.
If you want to hear his ensemble work, with other members of The Big Push, try 'Bongo Bong'
If you want to tear up, try 'Suicide' or 'Crutch'
If you want to get political, try Money Game 1, 2, and 3, and Money Ties.
If you want to hear his song writing and duetting, try 'Chalk Outline' or 'How to be Me' with Chinchilla.
If you want to get into his biography, try 'Sick Boi'.
if you want to hear him blow an almighty fuse, try Kujo Beatdown (a response to getting hustled by a beat producer - Kujo)
He also does a lot of cheeky fun stuff. If that appeals, try 'Uninvited' or 'Love Music 4'.
There is no end to him. Whatever you pick, it is bound to surprise.
I’m down for whatever! 😁 thank you!!
Asking me what my favorite Ren song is like asking me which one of my kids are my favorite.😮
Hahahaha. Understandable!! 🤣
That's a lot of kids.
@@1998TDM 😂😂
So... the first born?! 🤔😜😂
There’s ALWAYS one who’s the favorite,not intentionally usually, regardless every parent secretly has their favorite kid,lol 😂😂😂
The next one is usually the Tales of Jenny and Screech full version. Ren is awesome and his fans are amazing ... we call ourselves Renegades.
Ok thanks! 😁
Yeah if you want a mini movie one man show this one is the best!! One that touches me deeply is "Crutch"
So nice to meet you!! I'm in the chronically ill camp of the Renegades, and although every Ren song is my favorite, Seven Sins and How to be Me (live with Chinchilla) and Troubles tell my story. You can't go wrong though, Ren doesn't make bad songs!!!💜
@@Darkmage4 definitely this one but turn off the subtitles as it will ruin the story if you leave them on.
@carolinekaeser I turned them off! I did Jenny’s Tale. The first one will be out Wednesday 2PM central. 😁
Loved the reaction! I have a strong feeling you're about to join the RENegades.
"Favourite" is a real tough one with Rens' music. "Sick Boi" is a good follow-up, which helps to put Rens' mental and physical health struggles into perspective. For storytelling, the trilogy, "The Tale of Jenny and Screech" is quite brilliant. If you want mind blowing rap and beats, try "The Hunger". If you want something up-ful and positive, there's "Power". A song that will reduce you to tears is, "For Joe". Close to my heart (and perhaps yours) is a song about the downside of antidepressants, "Chalk Outline". His street-band, The Big Push are really something too - the mash-up that starts with "I Shot the Sheriff" is fantastic. He also duets with numerous friends, including the amazing Chinchilla -"Chalk Outlines" or "How to be Me" come to mind.
With Ren, whatever musical direction you go in (and he does it all) you won't be disappointed. He's genuinely something special. (And a really nice bloke).
Great reaction, subbed, Ren's genre is Swiss army knife.
Hi there! Ren’s King Dotta diss track (Dumb King Come) uses no beats or backing track if you’d like to check that out.
Every song is different, he's a musical genius, get ready ✌️
Looking forward to it!! 😁
Please react to his song POWER..its a vibe.
🔥🔥🔥 lets go
That was a live performance recorded in one take by the way
Since Ren is a singer and rapper and a musician that plays piano bass guitar produces beats and his own music, its hard to pick up one sing cause all are diffferent , but I like "Fred Again" mash up its an acoustic live recorded song ( not rap) as well.
Peace✌️
Yes! Seems to be the general consensus! And I love that he is a jack of all trades! I can’t wait to see what he’s got in store! Thanks!! 😊
The Tales of Jenny and Screech (and Violet) are usually done next.
Thanks! Have those in my list for my next round of REN!! 😁
FRED again Mashup
5 edm songs re configured and sung with his acoustic guitar with enough emotion to leave you speechless.
Chalk Outlines live with Chinchilla forpiwerful singing duet. Wade in the Water/Trouble so Hard/Nina Simone, with The Big Push
@@francesdoll4039 ohhhh really!? I love EDM! So I’ll definitely check those out!!
Fred Again Mashup is my personal favorite Ren track.
You have no idea the beautiful journey you just stumbled upon my friend! Favorite? ALL OF THEM. The ren rabbit hole goes deep and far... enjoy!
I can't pick a favorite but the one I resonate with most is sevin sins. But I've listen to this one at least a couple of thousand times at this point watching others. IT NEVER GETS OLD watching others discover him
I cant wait!! :D It's going to be exciting! :D
Impossible to pick a favorite. Ren’s songs are all completely different. He doesn’t have a genre. I tend to listen to the albums all the way through. He’s a genius, and it comes through in his music. He doesn’t ever disappoint. He’s struggling with his health right now. Any love you can show him would be greatly appreciated. Your subs will grow exponentially. Great reaction, mate! I subbed. 😉❤️
Yeah! I read someone saying that.. I hope he recovers well! ♥️ and thanks for subbing! 😁
Great reaction. Subbed to follow your Ren journey, hold tight, it's bumpy as shit
Ren is awesome
His rapping skills are quite literally amazing! I cannot wait to see his other Genres! 😁
Welcome to Ren, he’s his own man and crosses many genres. His personal story is amazing too.
Buckle up my friend you’re about to be blown away.
For a personal favourite choice, try out ‘Hold on’ he wrote and performed it at the height of his illness.
I'd been waiting for this! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've got news for you though he's not just a rapper. He's an artist. For instance did you notice the entire video was done live and was a one take?
As for further reactions his Money Game Trilogy is phenomenal. If you'd like to see other styles from him his Tales Trilogy is story driven. Back On 74 is great if you'd like more singing. Basically you can't go wrong
I did not know that! He did this very well!! I’ll check those out!!
I'm happy to see a few Ren fans have found ya. Good music and a good fan base. Also don't forget Ren supports reactors so if you have any issues with videos getting claimed just reach out to him and his team and they'll fix it.
You're in for quite the ride here and I'm excited to watch it.
Also if you wanna know what kind of person Ren is watch his million subscriber video.
@guyhood6916 Yes, this one is actually claimed! So, I will go and do that then. Thank you!! 😊
@@Darkmage4 Hopefully it gets fixed soon. It'll likely be more his team than Ren himself as he's had a health set back and is due another intensive round of treatment. Hopefully it goes even better for him this time and he can get back to doing what he loves
How to be me and/or Chalk Outlines are probably the most beautiful. Murderer and Power are very catchy. Money Game 1-3 are amazing (lyric video for 2). And the 3 parts of The Tale of Jenny and Screech for story telling. So many good tracks
Great reaction . Usually after hi ren people go either sick boi or tales of jenny and screech ( full 13 min video) or money games parts 1 2 3
Can't decide on my favourite Ren track, its impossible to choose. You'll understand as you go down the Ren Rabbit Hole x
Can’t wait to go deeper! 😁
Great reaction!❤ Thanks for supporting Ren!
My favorites of Ren are:
The trilogy of Jenny’s Tale, Screech’s Tale & Violet’s Tale
The Hunger
The Big Push (REN’s band) busking on the streets in the UK:
I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/HipHop
(the Live video with Ren wearing red suspenders)
Money Game part 1, 2 & 3
Thanks! 😁😁
New sub here! Welcome to the rabbit hole!
There is a lot but the song I most identify with is Sick Boi
Another RENegade here to watch your journey into our world of Ren....
If you're a real mage, you better go down that rabbit hole. Because you can call me out if I'm wrong, but Ren must be a f***ing wizard!
Hahahahaha. Indeed I will be!!
My suggestion is "Back on 74 & Message in a bottle retake"
@henrikstornblom great suggestion its so different from Hi Ren as a contrast
I have to watch it it's such a vibe
Nice reaction. Lots of his music is powerful and emotional and will make you shake to your core. But he’s also got tons of lighter hearted and fun tunes with great videos (one of his best friends does the cinematography). Some fun ones would be:
What you Want
Losing It (Fisher)
Any of the 4 love songs (or all)
He also used to play in 2 bands (The Big Push and Trick the Fox). I’d listen to the Big Push’s Bongo Bong, I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop (*has to be the one in red suspenders) or War Pigs. All of it is so fun and his talent and the talent he collaborates with are impeccable and will wow you each time.
But the crème of the crop is the Tale of Jenny and Screech (and Violet’s tale) trilogy. Best storytelling in this century.
Enjoy the ride. And the Ren fan base (known as the Renegades). We’ll have your back all the way through.
Ohh thanks for the information! Can’t wait to listen to more!! New artists I usually do a week! Consists of 3 days so I will be doing that soon!
Ren is a student of music he goes right back to early styles of music and early rap. He loves early Nas Eminem etc
Vera Hall and Django Reinhardt Nat King Cole Nina Simone
Sting Etc
For rap check out Losing It. For singing check out Back on 74/Message in a bottle. I think I'm down to about 5 favorites now. 😅 Welcome to the Reniverse! Looming forward to more Ren reactions.
Welcome to the wonderful world of ren, where you can always expect the unexpected 😊 subbed in hopes of more ren reactions, hes truly a once in a generation type artist 🥹💜💜
He ain’t leaving my channel! 😁 thank you!!
@Darkmage4 yessssss! Hes so good. I look forward to your ren journey. Its a long way down into the rabbit hole, alice 🐇🕳😁💜
REN will leave you speechless, laughing, crying & everything in between ❤ he’s one in a billion artist! His Band The Big Push are all top notch artists as well. If you do Jenny & Screech’s tales make sure to do the trilogy all together. ❤
Ok!! When I introduce an artist to my channel I do 3 days (1 week) of that artist only! So I’ll definitely do the trilogy! Wednesday, Friday, Saturdays are my upload days! So look forward to that. I don’t know when I’ll do it. Probably this week for next week. Or the next week after that! 😁
@@Darkmage4I bet you a pickled egg you’ll want to do more than 1 week as his catalogue is all killer no filler and goes deep, every song different. 😜
@cabbagebank haha. Maybe! I do have other artists I have to do! Usually do them in rotation.
Like I’m not sure if you’ve heard of these artists, but I also do VoicePlay, a Japanese Band called Band-Maid, Tommy Johansson, Dan Vasc, and a few others. 😁 but I intend to add 1 more day eventually to the roster. It depends on time! lol. As I also stream games too. 😊
Su*c*de, For Joe,Sic Boi, Murderer,Money Game 1-3,and Tale of Jenny & Screech (&Violet) trilogy also, the Hunger, Genesis, Humble,Ocean,Chalk Outlines,and I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop mash up with his babd the Big Push….the list is ENDLESS & EVERY song is INCREDIBLE!!! Ren is a lyrical master and genius!his words are from a place of personal experience and wisdom from real honest pain….and we Renegades ADORE,RESPECT,LOVE, ADMIRE,& SUPPORT Ren is ALL he does.he is a TRUE & AUTHENTIC artist!! Thank you for your reaction. 🎶❤️✌🏻
@@stephaniegeer1691 yess I’m stating on Jenny’s Tale! This week! So watch for that! 😁
Hi, loving your reaction of Ren, Good one to listen to is penitence with Molly McKinna maybe not next, but later in the rabbit hole also Chalk outlines with chinchilla, all amazing artists
Great reaction! I've subscribed. You can't go wrong with any of the suggestions in the comments for your next Ren adventure. He's amazing. Some lyrics from his song "Losing It/Fisher Rap Retake" sum him up (there's a bit of rapper flexing here, which he's brilliant at and richly deserves):
"The rhythm, the rebel, the bass and the treble
The angel, the devil, you're not on my level
I'm very unsettled, I'm very disheveled
I'm messed in my mental, just check my credentials". Indeed.
Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole it's deep and very wonderful. So much to discover. For his story telling try the tales. Jenny and Screeches tale (full). Masterpiece
You have stumbled in to a great deep rabbit hole... You will constantly be left speechless. The journey is sometimes hard but you will always be thankful for embarking in it
Journeys are meant to be adventurous and can get hard! Looking forward to more!! 😁
I think you gonna like Genesis (one of my fevorite)❤, If you want some rap +guitar Tales of Jenny and Screech (trilogy 13min video). And Ren look younger then he actually is (he is 34 years )
Ok thank you!! I’ll check that out! And him and I are the same age! Lol
When Ren is introduced to new listeners / Reactors as a 'Rapper, it grinds my gears. Yes, he can Rap, brilliantly!
But he is Far FAR More than this. Rapping is "only one string to his bow."!
And - there are a LOT of people out there who have no time for or interest in Rap, which means many may dismiss such a recommendation- & then MISS Out on one of THE GREATEST CREATIVE MULTI-SKILLED & INDEPENDANT ARTISTS we have on this planet in our lifetimes.
Well, considering this is a rap song, and his lyrics/rapping skills are beyond and better than Eminem. Then this song is a rap.
I do music too, I do rap as well. I however don’t consider myself a rapper. As I am an EDM artist too. But I label my rap songs as… rap. I don’t get why several people are so mad that I put the greatest rapper of all time in the title. When THIS song literally IS a RAP song…
Fire reaction😊. Subbed for more Ren reactions. "Power" is my favorite but "Masochist" is also very good. Hard but good..😁
That said, all are good. Also the collabs that Ren did with others...good...🤗
There's not one collab i didn't like. Big push, a band he was in...also fire. You can't go wrong with Ren..🙈🥰
Thanks for subbing! And I’ll check those out!
@Darkmage4 thank you and welcome to the Reneverse....🤗
Ren is just special. Whatever you react to, you can't go wrong. If you want more unique sort of theater art like "Hi Ren," 'bardcore,' if you will, go for "The Tales of Jenny & Screech." Do the full 3 part piece (there is also Violet's Tale included) all at once. It flows together in a way that it doesn't when you do them separately. If you want something more singing/guitar, upbeat, do, "Back On 74/Message In A Bottle (Retake)." If you want serious rap, rap, go for, "The Hunger." If you want a fun homage to The Beastie Boys, go with, "What You Want." If you go down this rabbit hole, you will likely wind up in tears at some point; Ren sings of real life and doesn't shy away from some of the heavier topics. You may want to intersperse those heavier topics with lighter songs as palette cleansers in between. Some may hit a bit too close to home, so pace yourself even though you'll want to dive in and never stop. I envy you, being at the beginning of your Ren journey. You will likely find yourself thrown into Ren's fans, his built-in audience of Renegades, because we all like to relive our first experiences with Ren's catalog of art. Welcome! 😉
Nice job. REN is the king of live 1-takes. If you like this, I bet you’ll appreciate REN’s Money Game(s). Keep it up - Cheers!
That's amazing! For my music, I have to do several takes! He did this very well! :D
As a Renegade I love them all. 😍
But…
“How to be me” with Ren and Chinchilla the live version or “Back to ‘74” 😅
New sub for more Ren - nice reaction 👌
Wow, glad you found us. Favorite song? That's gonna be hard for most of us. For more story telling with a message philosophically, the Tales of Jenny and Screech full version with Violet's Tale is a must but trigger warning. It's deep and dark.
Thanks! And so far those seem to be the general consensus. 😁 I’ll be starting that soon!
Welcome to the Reniverse so enjoy this amazing journey👍
Thank you! Will do! 😁
I always say that my favorite Ren song is the one I'm listening to. 😂
However, of his rap songs, Money Ties and Murderer are high on the list.
For singing, Fred Again Mashup (a song he created from four Fred Again songs) and Chalk Outlines.
Es el mejor
Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole. Your brilliant reaction suggests that you are a nascent Renegade. I have subbed to enjoy this wonderous journey with you.
Yes! Will be doing more! :D
Ren❤❤❤❤
You will get used to saying I didn't expect that when it comes to Ren. Extremely versatile.
Subbed! I'll throw "Losing It" into the Ren pile -- original rap lyrics over an EDM beat by Fisher. Really fun stuff, good as a cushion in between some of his more somber tracks.
Ok!! Thanks! 😁
Seven Sins 😊
There is life before hi ren and life after new sub 🇬🇧
Interesting!! Ok!! 😁❤️ and thanks!!
Thanks for your reaction 👍❤
There isn't a single song by Ren that I think is bad. There are some songs by him that have made a lot of people cry.
And welcome to the world of Ren. A roller coaster ride through emotions, wisdom, musical genius and genres.
Ren Eryn Gill is a multi-instrumentalist and producer. He sings, raps and writes his songs, lyrics and video scripts himself. He was born in Wales in 1990. He moved to Brighton in 2013 and did a lot of busking. He studied music performance at Bath Spa University. In 2009 he became seriously ill and had difficulty attending lectures. In 2010, he was signed to Sony Records. However, as his health continued to deteriorate, he had to terminate the contract. Today he is an independent artist. In October 2023, his album "Sick Boi" was number one in the British album charts.
Ren was initially misdiagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder and chronic fatigue syndrome, which led to him suffering from psychosis. It was not until seven years later that a doctor in Belgium finally diagnosed him with autoimmunity and Lyme disease, which led to brain, organ and joint damage as well as PTSD. After stem cell therapy in the United States, his health improved considerably. However, he continues to suffer greatly from his illnesses. In early 2023, he went to Canada for about a year and a half for treatment. In July 2024 he came back to the UK to play hist first concert after five years (look for The Secret Garden Party).
At the end of September, Ren posted that the treatment for Lyme disease co-infection Bartonella had not worked. Eight months of grueling treatment with various antibiotics had not led to success. He therefore wanted to travel back to Canada for further treatment at the end of October 2024. Then the symptoms of Bartonella came back. But unfortunately, things got even worse: During a video shoot, he had an autoimmune flare and experienced severe pain. He had to be taken to the emergency room. He lost vision in one eye for three days. He started recovering in the UK and is now back in Canada for further treatment. He just made a brief comment on the outcome of the US election on his community tab. I really hope that means he's feeling a little better.
On his RenMakesStuff channel you can find an autobiographical reading about his story in eight chapters. From the end of his best friend Joe, over becoming ill, getting and losing the contract with Sony, via his odyssey through various diagnosis and attempts of treatments to becoming at least better after his stem cell treatment. Absolutely worth watching. You will understand his songs even better afterwards and they become even more intense. Very personal and emotional videos.
His song Troubles is a kind of condensation of these readings.
Holy shit what a story! Hopefully he is feeling better! Thanks for the info! ❤️
@Darkmage4 Sadly not. He's currently in Canada having some more intense treatment.
Try Chalk Outlines (I think you will adore this even though it is a duet - Probably close to what you do content wise). In fact maybe lot of his Rap you will relate to.
My favourite Rap:
1. Castles made of Sand (special track only available on Bandicam)
2. Lost All Faith (Lyric Video) - all his lyric video's are great
3. Seven Sins
To be honest these are advanced Ren Pain songs. They are probably best watched after some others because Ren has layers but you can watch them early.... Catsles is just a pure pain song but OMG, the words... over an Anime beat.
Great Songs(S) or Rap(R) (he has many, no particular order for what comes to mind)
S - Chalk Outlines (I think you will recognise this as 100% a depression song)
S - Back on 74 / Message ina bottle remake
S - Fred Agan Mashup
R - Ready for You
S - Humble
R - Power
R - Hold On
R - Money game series (I like 1 most because it is gritty, but part 3 won awards)
S/R - The Tale of Jenny and screech (13 minute version) Do Not list to Violets tale separatey as it is part 3 of this masterpiece.
S/R - Murderer (both versions are great)
R - Sick Boi
R - Wicked Ways
R - Mashochist
R - The Hunger
jesus, I'll stop there, so many more
@@nada-8-4-2 Hahaa. Thanks! He does have quite the discography! Definitely on this journey for the long haul!! 😁
RENEGADES ASSEMBLE! Ohhhhh MAN brother you have no idea what you stumbled into. I'm a 70s rock and roll hippie in my mid-60s and there was the me before Ren and now there's the better me after Ren. You are now a member of a family known as the RENegades and we are legion. We all love and care for each other and we are always there for each other as well as anyone we can help in the ways that we are individually able to - just as much of Ren's material ushers us to do.
Anyway, welcome, others can guide you I just wanted to welcome you, new brother, because I know - like anyone else - once you hear Ren's music and messages you will be helpless but to become a sibling RENegade 😉
Thanks for the warm welcoming!! ❤️ also, fellow horror fan too??
@@Darkmage4 not into the slashers like Freddy and Jason and like that, but I do love a good _American Mary, Life_ or _Bone Tomahawk_ 😊
Nice!! We do movie nights! Classic horrors as well! We’ve done silent horrors to 50s-90s every Saturday night we do lives with movie reactions! We can’t show movies anymore because we got a strike at one point. lol. So, we have people watch along with other links!
Normally 8:30PM central time. Every Saturday, and every other Friday. This Friday being a found footage night. Hell House LLC! (One of my faves!) I am the co host with @kitzmomediagroup. (Whom I also recommended REN too as well btw!) you’re welcome to join us! 😁
U r going to have soooo much fun with REN. The man is just so much more. Pick a genre he does it!😂❤❤❤❤ new sub
A multi talented artist! Love it! 😁 thanks for subbing very much appreciated!!
Hey! Great reaction 😁. And new sub here. #RENegade
1st Q: my fav is Money Game pt.2, but it's better to discover the series in order.
2nd Q: where should you go next into that rabbit hole? The usual answer is Screech & Jennie's tales (full) if you want to go deeper. But in his catalogue there's no miss, no skip. So you could as well go random. Then, you'll get to his busking band: The Big Push.
Prepare yourself for a nice good slap in the face EACH TIME! Enjoy
Thanks! :D I cannot wait to listen to more! :D
Welcome to the Renegades! Next stop is The Tale of Jenny and Screech, full 13 minute video. My favorite Ren video is Animal Flow.
Yes! Tale of Jenny will be out this week! I’ll be recording Monday! 😁 I cannot wait to listen!
Welcome from a closet Renagade. Ren is a rabbit hole that is quite large. A favorite Ren song is a tough question, because his catalogue is so diverse. For Story telling I would pick the ""Tales" trilogy (The Tales of Jenny and Screech) or Money Game 3. For Fun Ren ... I enjoy "Power," "Losing It", "What you Want". For rappity rap ... I think the "Hunger" wins ... His backstory is quite rough. as he was misdagnosed with mental illness (psychosis) while having Lyme Disease. He is slightly better, but living with Lyme Disease for as long as he did he suffered quite a bit of permanent damage and still suffers from chronic auto immune issues.
Ren is brilliant new sub
Thanks for your reaction ❤️
I wonder if the poor subtitles can be changed by others, or we just have to wait for a TH-cam human to correct it. It's so bad 😢
Oh.. I wrote my comment before you asked the favorite question.. My favorite song is all songs from Ren 😅 But at the moment I listen to Depression and Murderer over and over 🥳🥳
Haha. Yeahh… so, for subtitles, the creator can do it themselves. It is auto generated.
Or a creator can have people appointed to do it.
Otherwise. All he has to do is copy/paste his lyrics in, and it’ll fix it.
Welcome to the RENiverse!!
PS I subbed!
Thanks and thanks!! ❤️
Subbed for MORE REN! Would like to see you react to Murderer official music video and Murderer live version in one go! Tales Trilogy is a must, also. Soon, if not next. ❤
Thanks!! And will do!! 😁
Welcome to the Renegade family!
Thanks!! 😊
If you listen, they will come!
Listen to them all, new and old. Hint: you have no idea what to expect.
Much love ❤️ Sue
If you rewind a little, after pausing, you won't miss anything. :)
I think for the most part I did. There may have been excitement and I didn’t rewind it at certain points. lol. But I normally 100% do actually rewind. 😁
Just think it's also live like most of Ren music. I suggest listening to Mackay first after this, suicide and his song that's a follow up to suicide called for Joe. But for Joe is my favorite but you'll def tear up because it's all real
Thanks! I’ll write all that down!! 😁
Sick Boi
ChalkOutlines live
The Tales
The Hunger
New sub, here for your Ren journey.
Thanks!! 😁
Favorite Ren? Not possible to choose! But OK, here are some performances to show the polar opposites of his abilities, covering different genres like pop, rap, soul, reggae, EDM, grunge, folk - genres are in (-):
-Back on 74 (Soul)
- Halftime (Rap - old school boom bap Hip Hop)
- Wicked Ways (UK style Rap)
- Mackay (Classic piano instrumental)
-Swan Song, with his band The Big Push (Folk)
- I shot the sheriff/ Road to Zion/ Hip Hop (reggae and rap mashup)
-The Tale of Jenny & Screech (Bardcore)
- Ready for you (pop)
- Jessica (RnB/Rap)
- Crutch (pop/grunge/metal)
- Down On The Beat (EDM/Rap)
Enjoy!
Haha ok! Thanks! I love when an artist does a variety of styles. Keeps it fresh! I’m looking forward to listening to more!
@ And bear in mind he’s a multi instrumentalist, writing, producing, performing while also directing, acting and arranging his own videos. This is an artist who is even more versatile than Prince was!
🔥❤️
Great reaction! Ren often brings out emotion in people, hes a musical genius and an amazing human being. If you like music that's more toward the mental health or health issues in general, i would suggest
Sick Boi
Chalk outlines
How to be me
Troubles
Dominoes
For Joe
Su*cide
Just to name a couple on the heavier side. 😊
Honestly it's hard to pick a favourite song! He's got so many good songs that will blow your mind each time!
Thank you! I’ll add to my list! And thanks! He’s actually inspired me for my own music too! ☺️
If i had to Pick some favorites i guess it would be losing it, money game Part 3, the hunger and suicide. 👍🏻
Thanks! Some of that is in my list! 😁
Ren was making music before NF and is a far superior rapper and performer. Believe me you haven't heard anything yet, when it comes to him rapping. Ren can rap like a rap god and is a world-class lyricist, up there with Pink Floyd, Dylan, Bowie etc. If there's any "inspiration" there, it's likely the other way around! :) Also, unlike NF, he's fully independent! As for Eminem, he's apparently a huge admirer of Ren's. When it comes to rapping I'd place Ren objectively on the same level as Eminem, though personally, I think Ren's even better! :)
BUT... Ren is a LOT more than just a rapper and he writes and performs in every genre. Ren raps like a rap god, scats and beatboxes brilliantly but he also has incredible vocals, capable of multiple voices, styles and tones. You'll be blown away when you hear him really sing! :) Ren plays about a dozen instruments well. Half of them RIDICULOUSLY well! All self-taught! He sets up his own recordings and is his own audio engineer. He's a top-notch producer, who lays down his own music/beats audio. Any backing singing or background vocalisations you hear on Ren tracks, is usually Ren himself. He's an incredible performer and his stage presence is palpable! Ren directs and edits most of his own videos and many of those videos, like Hi Ren, are recorded live, in a single take! A technique for which he's renowned and has won numerous major international awards for! His songwriting is world-class! Especially his lyricism. He's a poet really and a bloody GREAT poet at that! :)
Ren is fully independent. No label, no financial backing, no PR machine or publicist, no management company. Every label under the Sun has tried to sign Ren. He's turned them all down! With Ren it really is all about the music! :)
Ren is chronically ill, has long term damage to his body and brain and is in constant, 24hr pain! At his worst he was bedridden for the best part of 7 years! He has Lyme's disease, MCAS, Bartonella, severe autoimmunity, (making him highly allergic to virtually all food) neuropathy, adhd, ptsd and chroinic depression. He also suffers from a whole host of associated conditions! I won't go into further details, or I'd be here all night. Suffice it to say that he's suffered horrendously and continues to do so. He's currently back in Canada, undergoing months of intensive, unpleasant and debilitating treatment. Among many other effects, his health problems and treatments have left him unable to tour or to properly promote his work.
Despite all the above and despite being out of the country at the time, in the middle of an earlier session of an 18 months of intensive experimental treatment in Canada... Ren made history last year, becoming the first fully independent artist to achieve a number 1 UK album! Knocking Drake off the top spot in the process! The album,'Sick Boi', also went top 10 in several other countries, topped the US hip-hop album chart and reached number 1 on the iTunes worldwide chart!
Ren's a unique artist. A musical genius! A once in a generation talent! He's also a wonderful and inspirational human being, as you'll discover. :) After hearing just a single song, you may believe that all I've written is hyperbole. If you continue getting to know the man and his music, you'll realise that it really isn't. :)
tl/dr - Ren's great! Ren's music is great! Definitely react to more Ren! You won't be disappointed. You WILL be surprised... constantly! :)
That is quite a life! I suffer from back pain 24/7 and a bad ankle. I just got used to hiding it very well.
I’ve never heard of ren before, and that actually makes me a bit sad! Because if Eminem really likes ren, then why haven’t I heard of him? He should have at least been in my recommendations! Either way, I’m listening now!! 😁
I’m rooting for him! I hope he recovers well!
Heretic or Ready for You older Ren songs or Genesis Nas Halftime retake so many I cant pick one
❤ subbing for more Ren please, im hoping u join us in the rabbit hole. My favourite Ren songs are back on 74 and what u want and seven sins. He does a heck of a lot of hard songs, but i enjoy the light ones like these
Money game 1,2,3 are pretty nose on for this week
I’ll add those to my list! Thanks for subbing!’ ❤️ I’ll definitely be doing more! 😁
I subbed and 👍🏻! Even before watching. Knew you would like Ren. 😉
Hahaha! tbh I wouldn't put it up on my channel if I didn't enjoy it! :D I dont want my face to be straight, and not really reacting to it. But REN is good, and I'll be doing more soon! :D
@ good, what’s next?
@troy9er Tales of Jenny! 😁
Right now im stuck in "illness of our time", but all of his songs are sick, just i have fazes which one im listening the most 😅
I know that feeling! Haha some artists I get fixated on one song and just have it on repeat. lol.
Thought it was "illest of our time"
@davidlarson4050 oh, yeah sr autocorrect 😅
It's always best NOT to use auto-generated subtitles. They'll lead you astray a LOT more than if you just focus on listening instead. They also detract from the performance and Ren's a consummate performer. Even if the subtitles were 100% accurate, (instead of 50%) words account for only a small percentage of human communication. If you feel you need to catch every lyric on a first listen, you're better off pulling them up from a lyric website, so that you can check those that you miss. Also Ren usually pins the lyrics in the comments. :)
Yeah, I get you! The subtitles are not for me though. :) even if they’re messed up. At least my viewers who view my other videos are able to follow along if the lyrics are available. ☺️
But you should listen every each by releasing time, because he makes references to his previous songs 😉
Gotcha! So start from the beginning and go from there! Haha.
You MUST check out Prof
Tales of Jenny and Screech.. MUST do all three together. But buckle up, there is not a REN song that isn’t better than the last one you heard. I’m 67 yo.. Ren may be the greatest talent in my lifetime.
Ren is not a rapper but does like to rap.He is just a musical genius.Do not insult him with the rapper tag.
By no means is it meant to be an insult. Nor Intended. This was my FIRST song from him. This is a rap song. So, you can understand why I added it in? Whatever the song is, is what the tags are added in as. So, if it was a rock song. rock tag would have been added. If it was an EDM song, a tag would have been added as an EDM, and so on so forth. I hope you can understand that.
Ooooooh you have no idea what you`re getting yourself into
enjoy the ride
Definitely will! 😁😁
@@Darkmage4 will, I pushed the bell already and waiting for your next one
Captions, ugh. Turn them off especially when doing Jenny & Screech FULL. It could be a spoiler.
I keep them on for certain viewers of mine. 🙂
@Darkmage4 ok. If you say so. Imo, 99% of us reaction watchers like me have seen Ren's videos hundreds of times already and I'm pretty sure they would agree that the captions on Ren's videos are terrible. I'll let the other responders inform you but like I said, it will be a spoiler if you can read before he sings on J&S tales. Just saying.
Oh they have, I know. But a few viewers that watch my content like captions on even if it’s messed up due to hearing impairment. I always link the original video too for anyone wanting to read the lyrics if the artist posted the lyrics.
I myself don’t pay attention to them unless I’m specifically asked to pay attention to them on others.
Also got to remember. Everyone there that knows ren, like you said has seen the videos hundreds of times but me introducing a new artist to a channel of 2000 people who are watchers of other artists also get to view a new artist when I introduce them to this. I in hopes to do reactions to add more music to others’ library. 😁 funny thing is. I get 100s of complaints of having them off, and get 100s of complaints having them on. Can’t please everyone I’m sure you very well know. :)
Also, I checked some of your videos, since we have mutual followings like Matti, Thinking Art Entertainment (friends with Wes btw!) And Peter McKinnon, probably a few more I am missing! But I too have several movies. Found footage! Definitely check those out if you want! I do a variety on this channel! :)
@@Darkmage4 I would think if they have hearing impairment, they would use their own captions to follow your video and the captions would still pick up the captions to Ren's video. But ok. It's your channel.
You are right you can't please everyone. My saying is "You can't please 100% of the people 100% of the time".
It's cool we follow some of the channels. I love horror shorts and creating them as well. I have a few on my channel. I will go check out your found footage. Is that the ones with the cemeteries? I just watched one.
