He is paying tribute to cult film classics ..Animal Farm being the main theme based with scenes from these classics like The Shining (girl on bike in hallway) Witches of Eastwick ( 3 girls round Rens feet ) A clockwork orange ( dressed in white with a cane ) Silence of the Lambs ( cannibal stair scene with lamb ) the chocolate factory (the beat ) Wind in the willows and creature from the black lagoon ( bathroom scene toad and creature in bath ) All cult classical movies.. Im sure there are more .. this is a piece of art ..nice reaction
I’ve been sick most of my life as well. All you have to do is read and watch movies! Been there, done that! Ren wouldn’t be who he is if he hadn’t been sick. He’s helping me make peace with my life and see value in it. I love his body of work!!!
Ren is a testament that talent is enough. No special effects. No cgi. No paid dancers almost nude. Just talent and hard work. Can't forget the hard work. Took them 9 hours to get this one take down.
@@farrahwalker6222 Yep. The pigs take over & abuse their power too. They write a manifesto on the wall . The last line is "All animals are equal". As it all goes v v wrong, the pigs start walking on 2 legs & becoming more abusive & human in their behaviour: & the animals reading the manifesto again, see that the line is now altered, to: "Some animals are more equal than others".
The video may well be animal farm references but Ren confirmed in interview that the song lyrics weren’t written with animal farm or any deep meanings whatsoever. It was just a purely flexing type track.
You didn't catch the references to Animal Farm by George Orwell. He also had references to Kubricks Clockwork orange and the Shining, and then there was even a reference to Willy Wonka, from Charlie and Chocolate factory.
The writing on the whiteboard in the opening left to right pan from Ren's face is from George Orwell's Animal farm. At the top you'll see it says "4 legs good, 2 legs bad“ and then right at the bottom it says "All animals are created equal"
Ren gets into your brain, the beats, the melody, the emotion, the intelligence, the story..... one way or another this guy will get you asking yourself questions....then asking other people questions .... then those questions lead you to ,,,,, well you can all have your own journey ... but you wont quite be the same after truly listening x
Ren is in his own lane. I think some of the reasons he's so different is because his influences are so diverse. 80's, 90's and modern rap/hip hop, reggae, rock, blues and jazz. He is an amazing singer as well as a rapper. Check out his live street performance with his band The Big Push of I Shot The Sheriff/Road To Zion/Hip Hop. It will fill in some big gaps as far as who Ren is. Great reaction as always. Peace.
Old man with old ears much appreciate your pausing and breakdowns 👍Never been a rap follower, but I've liked listening to popular rappers but not listening (you know what I mean) . Then along came Hi Ren and Ren and the rest of his shit. I was hooked understood some of what he was saying, but not understanding rap I went to reaction videos. Got to say love the way you break things down and are giving me even more appreciation of him. 🍻
He isn't chopping steaks bro. If you look closely there is a human head in a bird cage above the pig. The animals eat the humans and so does he. That's what makes him the cannibal king. Crazy. Great reaction!!!
Some people have said the message is muddied, but it''s easy to get several interpretations out of it. I understand the Animal Farm themes, but without the video it feels more like a man at war with himself. There is constant reference to self destructive behavior, most obviously cannibalism, and I just took it as a indicative of the dark places Ren has been to mentally in the past. After all, the pain and resulting psychosis were eating at him for a while.
“This is a soundtrack for madness” 😹 As others have commented, he pulled in Animal Farm, Kubrick, and other cinematic influences. And if you listen to the interview he just did with Justin Hawkins, Ren said if he ever gets the opportunity to act he would love to play a villain 😼 I would love to see that! I think he would be much better than Jared Leto. But what’s also impressive is Ren’s talent as a director. The fact that he came up with the ideas for this video and was able to bring it to life with no money … and in one shot! … is incredible. In the description you can read how he did it. He borrowed his friend’s apartment and got 80 of his friends involved. Even the last scene was just backlit using car headlights, but it’s stunning. Oh you are going to like Money Game 1 and 2! Part 2 is my favorite
Dope reaction as always bro. On his live Twitch stream he did the day Animal Flow was released Ren said he's putting out a Hip Hop album. He's never put out a full Hip Hop album put only singles so he said he's got that in the works then he's going back to his roots and putting out a singing album. The man is all over the place and I can't wait for anything and everything he releases!
Let me preface this with a bit of backstory: My friends and co-workers have NEVER caught me speechless, and, if given enough time to elaborate, I can explain most shit to most people. I have explained early Hitler's appeal to a disenfranchised Germany. I have explained the CIAs *everything*, and why they thought they needed to do it. Ren, however, has SOMETHING that I cannot define that separates him from everyone else. It's not his attitude or flow, both are done elsewhere, and together. It's not his pure belief in what he's saying, many artists believe their own messages. Ren is just built different in some nebulous way that I, personally, cannot find words for.
cuz he is trying to explain colors to us color-blind bunch. Perhaps we can get the jist of what he's talking about, but to fully see what he sees... dang
I've been hitting this Animal Flow a few times from a few reactions and I love this beat. I did have to go to his site to get my lyrics correct and it was worth it. It's clever how he has them in the commentary and so you can have his lyrics right there on the side. That might be all but I just picked that up from him. Lol
Little by little->Welp. That's about how you have to take Ren into your brain.😁 I couldn't wait for you to do this one. (Psst...that dam thing coming around the corner scared the hell out of me too😂) Money game 1 and 2 is goooood! Really really good. But then...Ren hasn't missed yet as far as I can see....i've been down this rabbit hole for a long time now. It's quite lovely down here! Don't let the madness scare you! 🤗 Peace and love always until there is no more!😊❤
Im 60, so I recognized it was about Orwell's, Animal Farm. Where if I remember right, two pigs decided to take over the farm telling the farmer all animals are equal, including the farmer. God, it's been so long ago but if I remember right, the Animals at the end realize how important the Farmer is to their survival and decide to embrace the farmer. It was something like that. Now how does that translate to his life today? I have no idea because Ren is Ren. Who knows what goes on in that boys mind. Im just here enjoying the ride, every single bump. Because it can be a crazy ride at times. But then again, this could be nothing but a big flex. Saying all you other rappers are just animals, but Im the farmer MFers.
Ren is just brilliant, and if you are not from Britain, he loves taking the piss and he does it so well, the references and statements he makes are hilarious
Thank you for reacting to anything by Ren. Bisecting or dissecting Ren's brain may be too much of a challenge for normal human beings. Yes, it's Animal Farm, one of my favorite books. Many other references in this video. I would love to be inside Ren's brain, I feel a commonality with him that sometimes scares me but mostly excites and thrills me. I keep seeing the genius of Ren. I am seeing the connections of his lyrics to other written works of art in literature. Truly amazing. Ren is amazing! I also wondered about the mind of George Orwell from some of his other books. Everything Ren does is either fun, sad, outrageous, crazy, deep with meaning, or educational. Some of the music by Ren is for a much younger audience than my generation but it's still quite amazing even for my esthetics and preference in music. Ren, amazing human for sure, wish he was one of my grandsons. ☺ Ren is brilliant! Never underestimate Ren.
Heck yea Jay 🔥💕🥰🎶 fire reaction as always 💚 Ren is different for sure. I haven't read Animal Farm, not since i was young. So i re-read it. Ren captured it perfectly. Some of the scenes were so dark, like the kitchen scene, their is a human head in that swinging birdcage above the butcher animals head...animal is butchering humans and animals are eating it in the end scene. Video of Madness is correct lmao. I cant wait for the Money game 1 and 2. Excited for more Ren from you! Much love ✌💚💪
'Lord of the Slums' was pretty spot on with how I took it. Imagine if someone as ambitious as Ren had no morals, he would be trouble lol. He could take over stuff.
The Genre is mostly called "metalcore"! There are many other bands from that genre like "architects" or "enter shikari"! These guys are real monsters while playing live! Thx 4 the reaction! ❤
Just think... if an English teacher could show this video 1st.. they tell class it was a nod to the book (Animal Farm by Orwell) and then assigning the book .. how many students would actually look forward to reading. I can't remember what grade it was required reading but this would've really pulled everyone in.
Braggadocious flex. Yes. I don't think i've heard one reactor notice that part. If you just go down in the comments and read the lyrics without the music and video, you will see he is flexing on his foes. 🔥
This is just my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt. I think this song is one act in a much larger collection of music...an opera for a lack of a better term...at least with this, "Hi Ren", and "Sick Boi". The Pig Butcher character is a recurring theme in these videos, and I see it as the Dark Ren's (in terms of the dichotomy expressed in "Hi Ren) perception of the medical industry and his supposed caregivers. Up until now we've only seen the Dark Ren part of his personality shown in juxtaposition to his light side, battling with each other. I believe this is the Dark Ren personification, in full control, unmitigated by his human morality, not bifurcated with his light side in anyway. Just unchecked, raw, lizard brain, cynical darkness, being expressed in song. This is how Dark Ren sees the world. This is a portrayal of one of his manic episodes.
This song is truth. Ren knows that humans are the most brutal animals on earth and he cofronts the listener with this. Modern society hides this truth with our supermarket mentality. It's unnerving but it is true nonetheless. It is brilliant really.
If I remember correctly, in Animal Farm, the animals who rebel against the humans eventually start acting like the humans. So they become the thing they despised at the beginning of the book. REN is commenting on our current culture.
Next reaction VOB "KILLING IN THE NAME" RATM cover VOB BAND TRIO HIJABERS from 🇮🇩 VOB consert LIVE AT FRANCE. TRANS MUSICALES DE RENNES 2021👍 VOB AMAZING super talented 🤟
Commenting from the future for anyone making the journey with me: 1:13 - the dude tied up is the guy kidnapped in Murderer.

And the painting of the dogs playing poker

It also shares the rhythm of The Dreaming by Kate Bush.
I am glad this is the top comment, it really needs to be pinned.
Dude tied up net to his chauffeur right at the start (below the lines from Animal Farm) is the mark from 'Murderer'.
Ren is a testament that talent is enough. No special effects. No cgi. No paid dancers almost nude. Just talent and hard work. Can't forget the hard work. Took them 9 hours to get this one take down.
Not even paid actors period! Friends and friends of friends!
ONE TAKE?
Yes it was a 1 take. Like %93 of Rens stuff are all1 take/live takes!@@M0nTyKe
Its based on the book..animal farm. A story where the animals take over a farm from the humans....great book.
Take over, but become the very thing they fought against. Well, at least the pigs.
@@blubirdhill2608 is that why he features the pig head often?
@@farrahwalker6222 Yep. The pigs take over & abuse their power too. They write a manifesto on the wall . The last line is "All animals are equal". As it all goes v v wrong, the pigs start walking on 2 legs & becoming more abusive & human in their behaviour: & the animals reading the manifesto again, see that the line is now altered, to: "Some animals are more equal than others".
@@sarahholland2600 I know the book from so so many years ago. I now know the reference in Rens videos thanks to your response.
The video may well be animal farm references but Ren confirmed in interview that the song lyrics weren’t written with animal farm or any deep meanings whatsoever. It was just a purely flexing type track.
It’s based on the book Animal Farm with a healthy dash of Clockwork Orange. Hit it out of the park on this one.
Burning parliament down is definitely an aminal farm thing, but also in money game 2 he had that line about 10 downing st burning in a fire
yeah boi more ren and more chinchilla plz
You didn't catch the references to Animal Farm by George Orwell. He also had references to Kubricks Clockwork orange and the Shining, and then there was even a reference to Willy Wonka, from Charlie and Chocolate factory.
The writing on the whiteboard in the opening left to right pan from Ren's face is from George Orwell's Animal farm.
At the top you'll see it says "4 legs good, 2 legs bad“ and then right at the bottom it says "All animals are created equal"
I've never seen u bob ur head so much on a song..this was fire and fun
Ren gets into your brain, the beats, the melody, the emotion, the intelligence, the story..... one way or another this guy will get you asking yourself questions....then asking other people questions .... then those questions lead you to ,,,,, well you can all have your own journey ... but you wont quite be the same after truly listening x
Yum yum yum yum! 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant reaction to an absolutely amazing track! These lyrics are probably the best I've ever heard and I'm over 50. 😂
"yum yum yum yum" :)
Ren is in his own lane. I think some of the reasons he's so different is because his influences are so diverse. 80's, 90's and modern rap/hip hop, reggae, rock, blues and jazz. He is an amazing singer as well as a rapper.
Check out his live street performance with his band The Big Push of I Shot The Sheriff/Road To Zion/Hip Hop. It will fill in some big gaps as far as who Ren is. Great reaction as always. Peace.
U should check out the acoustic version 🖤

must me together as a reaction.
This is a piece of art... Nice reaction !
He's not dressed exactly like the leader of the droogs gang in Clockwork Orange but the reference is definitely there.

Impassible
This song is brilliant!
Ren is a fkn anomaly in the music world. That's all
Little by little->Welp. That's about how you have to take Ren into your brain.😁
I couldn't wait for you to do this one. (Psst...that dam thing coming around the corner scared the hell out of me too😂)
Money game 1 and 2 is goooood! Really really good.

It's quite lovely down here!
Don't let the madness scare you! 🤗
Peace and love always until there is no more!😊❤
I have been enjoying this song for the last few days
Haven't seen you react to Genesis yet or money game part 1 & 2... and I'm totally with you when you do to see your reaction 🙌
