AMERICAN RAPPER RACTS TO-Ren - The Hunger

[@vickyterry3150]

In the very beginning he says, "genuine Frankenstein, I made a monster." Frankenstein's monster was sewn together with a bunch of body parts from different people, just like Ren stitched together all these different flows into one song. Also, just FYI, Ren always pins the lyrics in the first comment on his videos. Can't wait to see what you do next!

[@toolfankrk]

If you want Beastie Boys vibes from Ren try "What you want"

[@endlessrage4062]

Beat me to it, bruvva. Yeah, man, I second this guys comment. ‘What you want’ is pure homage to Beastie Boys….

[@chrisrisher6045]

💯 % 🔥

[@tunokies]

😎👍🏼

[@TechnoTone]

What they ☝said. 😄

[@BigBob473]

I was about to type this but knew someone already had. 👍

[@elenaorujev3494]

Check out Sick Boi, Losing It, Genesis, Power, Illest of Our Time, Chalk Outlines, How to Be Me, and Money Game 1 and 2 - all great Ren gems! Also - the Tale of Jenny and Screech (full), which is an amazing story-telling trilogy. He has a huge catalog of great songs, which are all pretty different! He is versatile, eloquent, and super clever!

[@R48817x]

Also anything wth Sam Tompkins, escpecially their busking vids

[@liamohagan5922]

Hes in a bang to theirs a video where they do i shot the sheriff and two other songs back to back , the big push

[@Jadedxx]

Plus the Big Push! 🔥🔥🔥

[@sharis9095]

Don't forget my favourite Ren video... Crutch with Bibi. Hauntingly beautiful and completely different.

[@Night_Parade]

Just listen to it all lol

[@eddiebirdie1545]

Man the 'port and starboard' symbolism that you picked up was on point, i was waiting for a reactor to pick up on it, man you're the first 💣💥smoke one for me fellas ✌🐦.

[@distractjen]

yeah that was cool, learned something today

[@johnsearing9736]

He picked this exact location bc in 90s rap videos or hip hop graffiti was all over the place. The jacket he wore is the same aspect. He's a true student of the game and always try to show respect to the ones before him.

[@jorel80]

Yep. You’re in it now! I highly recommend “Chalk Outlines” for yet another side of Ren. Also worth noting that most of his newer videos (but not this one) are one-take live recordings and you can tell if you watch and listen carefully. He is able to deliver amazing live performances on camera with little to no editing or overdubs.

[@lanmandragoran8337]

Live version of chalk outlines, with chinchilla, specifically.

[@TornSoul062473]

I feel like this is both a love letter to rap, and Ren showing the influences that brought him up.

[@lillyvanpug]

That was the song that introduced me to Ren's rapping talent and it absolutely blew me away 🤯 the flowswitches, alliteration, clever bars- the only thing that sucks is, that the song isn't longer 😂 Edit: this is a random site I the UK. It's actually where they found the wheelchair for Hi Ren as far as I know

[@serendipitish]

It's an empty lot in Ren's hometown of Brighton, on the south coast of England; almost all of his videos were filmed somewhere around the city. (Ren was born in Wales but has lived in Brighton for many years.)

[@charliecosta3971]

If you really want to see his talent at top level. It's a Man's World with Sam Tompkins busking on Brighton High Street. Amazing

[@marcdoorish]

I think the green and red flares are to represent his Welsh heritage (Welsh flag is green and red) He was born and raised in Wales and moved to Brighton in England.

[@julieyates405]

The deeper you go into Ren's art and personal story, the more you understand his lyrics. He rose to his feet on the streets, sharing his messages, music and art as a busker after being sick for a decade. Watch the messages in the lyrics and images. The pig features in Money Game. The location I believe is a disused area of Sussex beach, possibly Newhaven, close to a dock, that's unsafe due to unstable cliffs and tides. Our Ren is a creative genius, multi talented and a very nice chap. It's brilliant he is being supported by you guys. I hope you come to love him as much as we do in the UK x

[@TechFreak94]

He uses so many different styles across genres and yet it is uniquely him still. Ren is absurdly talented and skilled! He's super cool and chill too. He usually checks out reactions to his music.

[@MathewHess-yp2vp]

Welcome to step 2 in the Ren rabbit hole... personally I'd recommend I shot the sheriff next then chalk outlines if you want to be completely mind fu$&&d! Then fall back to Genesis, Money Game 1 and 2, and by then you'll do them all I have no doubt! And I'll be here for them all No Doubt! ✌️

[@MsCogan555]

Hello DDP ❤, Firstly, thank you for sharing your genuine reaction and for not cutting it. Ren has an ability to crack you wide open and that's OK. Never apologise for you emotions. Due to the success recently and getting Kujo beats out there, I have gone through the reaction community the last 2 was. I'm here for your journey DDP, Il9ve your empathy. Cptsd warrior here and I just l9ve the RENagades ❤

[@larrymenconi5287]

Hope the fact that he is doing this all on his own , I mean as far as support , no label , no sponsorship , from top to bottom , and like you said , if you pay attention , everything you see and hear , every tiny detail was thought about and is there for a reason, one take videos , no cuts, a majority of them live, on those parameters, I’d like to see what a 10 is, that has nothing necessarily to havin to like it or not of course, but what he’s trying to show , and say , and what he wants you to feel whatever that might be on whatever type song he is doin , it’s as close to musical perfection as I’ve ever seen , and being independent an independent artist, I don’t even know where that puts it , love the channel guys

[@StephiesCorner]

He is independent. Ren and his crew do everything. He rocks with a low budget.

[@sybrown8559]

Fair and yeah I can see Beastie Boys influence. As crazy as it sounds, I hear Dr Seuss type rhyme schemes from Ren. Still suggesting “Sick BOI” as a more recent rap product from Ren. Then “I shot the sheriff” and “The tale of Jenny and Screech” (which may be better than Hi REN). Keep it up! Subs will follow!! Just subscribed.

[@craiggrant8600]

Everything he does is different!

[@juliabear2322]

Dudes your missing soooooo much.. keep watching all the way down the rabbit hole..Ren is freaking amazing....

[@Lou-xq9br]

Every #Ren song sound's different! Love him!!

[@1118alpet]

He's in the UK here. Every song he does is different, almost. Beastie Boys vibe is insane in his song "What you want".

[@kiarasp8190]

Illest of our time, Power, Life is Funny, Losing it, so much to check out!

[@ObieR]

Brother just discovered your channel last night with Hi Ren. Great reaction def subbed! Have a suggestion for the next Ren vids. Def do his I shot the sherif/road to Zion mashup it’s AMAZING. All his stuff with chinchilla, Sam Tompkins, and his band the big push are INCREDIBLE

[@deanc486]

As Below. Ren's track 'What you Want' If you are after that Beastie Boys vibe. Enjoy! Might I suggest 'Genesis' and 'Crucify Your Culture' There is so much of Ren's and his collaborators music to listen to. I haven't come across a bad piece yet. Enjoy!

[@simplysimon9868]

They found the wheelchair here for his Hi Ren video. Ren definitely has studied music and history. From Rap to Rock to Reggae influences. Every genre and throwbacks in lyrics his music is deep and you got to hear a few times to pick stuff up. His Rabbit hole is so good and doesn't disappoint. Great reaction guys 👍👍

[@dianeemanuel8541]

He is a chameleon - just wait til you get to The Big Push videos or How to be Me or……. Great reaction❤❤

[@stephenshanebeaty]

Gotta? Say I'm new to the channel but you're becoming one of my favorites brother.

[@mothermaclean]

He is in Brighton in England, he was born in Wales in uk then moved to Brighton

Hence the red and green flares...colours of Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@lakeeriedigital4977]

Great reaction fellas

[@GJStone-tf7vl]

Don't think one should compare the guitar art with the rap art. The rap art is him playing, Having fun, being light hearted. The guitar is more heart/ deeper, most of the time...

[@sistermoon1970]

Ok your now my favourite 🫶 all the songs as already mentioned are worth a reaction, but I can’t wait for to do What You Want, and The Big Push - I Shot The Sherrif/Road To Zion/Hip Hop (make sure you go for this one) New Uk sub ✊🫶

[@nicknice2904]

The dude is amazing. If u watch a few of his videos its impossible not to watch more. Love the reaction. We all want more Ren reactions

[@lussacmomin6178]

Wanna witness that he's the rap God react to 1.Life is funny 2.Money game pt2 3.love music pt2 and pt3 4.what you want 5.Hold on

[@johnraygun9868]

damn i didnt think about the plane thing but , when i was in the army we did a lot of air insertions and we were always told Red Right Return meaning if you look forward and the red light is on the right side its coming at you

[@davidjones4252]

The pig is a recurring character, and after his latest announced song release, I think the pig represents the pigs in George Orwell's "Animal Farm"... They became like the ruling class in what was supposed to be a free and equal society: "The pigs start to resemble humans, as they walk upright, carry whips, drink alcohol, and wear clothes. The Seven Commandments are abridged to just one phrase: "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others". His work has a depth to it you don't see often, both in the music and in visual symbolism in some of his videos... In this one, I thin he's just showing off some of his skills... It's when you get into Money Game, Sick Boi, Illest of our Time, and Crucify Your Culture (just to name a few), where you have to really pay attention

[@DukeOfTwist]

I'm thinking Professor Pyg from DC Comics is a deranged enemy of Batman, broadly considered to be amongst his darkest and most disturbing. Pyg is a twisted surgeon, obsessed with the myth of Pygmalion and notions of physical perfection. Due to this, he kidnaps Gotham citizens to horrifically transform into his obedient, "Dollotrons" . Professor Pyg is also the leader of the Circus of Strange, a syndicate of circus-freak themed meta-human (human-animal hybrids) criminals.

[@davidjones4252]

@@DukeOfTwist Holy crap... Good catch! I had completely forgotten about him (Which is a bit embarrassing, seeing as how I was part owner of a comic/gaming store when he first appeared LOL). The pig in both Hi Ren & Sick Boi look just like the character.

[@dianeemanuel8541]

This was filmed in England. Trainers are tennis shoes.

[@davidudel694]

Wait to you here him sign sign. But you should do his trilogy. Jenny, screech, and violets tale in that order. Ren likes to rap, but that is not where his talent shows the best in my humble opinion. Personally, I like his stuff he does with his band THE BIG PUSH. But that's the beauty of Ren, he does so many different styles. You never know what you will get. My personal favorite is his song, HOLD ON.

[@johnnymayweather7476]

Hommie's plane analogy catch is brilliant.

[@nickcarrolchick951]

been growing Callie weed indoors in uk since late ‘90’s (illegally) that’s what rens talking about! The vid is filmed just outside Brighton by the sea. We used to hold illegal raves there back in the 80’s Soooo much love for Ren Thanks for reaction vids!!!!!

Great reaction, glad i stumbled upon your channel 😊 i would like to request something that might not be in your wheelhouse... Falling in Reverse, with their new one "Watch the World Burn"....i have a feeling you'd love it! ❤

[@williamfulcher314]

i used to work on helicopters when i was in the military. the number 1 side of the aircraft has greenish blue lights on it. the number 2 side has red lights. we used to say 'Rudolph has 1 red nose and 2 blue balls' to remember the sides. you are 100% correct my sir

[@lanmandragoran8337]

I would love if you looked into "Chalk Outlines" with Chinchilla LIVE next. For the next "Oh, this is different!"

[@anticafo]

Subbed! Stocked you guys came back to Ren so quickly, that's awesome! This is just a beginning! He also was in a band the Big Push and if you check out their cover medley of I shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop - you'll yet another side of Ren and it's an absolute fire performance!!

[@ridgeback4374]

He did a beastie boys homage with "what you want". I highly recommend that one

[@AngelDeJesus-m3c]

The Hunger and him getting older is about him losing our on his dreams of being an artist. His missed diagnosis and years of suffering, both physically and mentally, would have made 99.9% of people to quit on their dreams. Ren can't wait to have big music corporations to back him so he did it himself with the help of the best friends anyone could ever hope for. Ren is a beast with an animal flow. He slices up beats like he slices through bread. When he goes bowling,he uses decapitated heads. He loses brains in the lanes that's why they call him miscellaneous(miss a lane- gutter ball.. Great writing , rapping, beatboxing. Fire!

[@matmachin9992]

I always hit the like button on any Ren reaction, whether I sub is dependent on the video.

[@JensRandolff]

Another great reaction. Ren’s Hip Hop/Rap style songs are all worth checking out if you enjoy this genre; they are pretty amazing. Check out “Genesis,” “What You Want,” “Losing it (FISHER rap retake),” “Right Here, Right Now (Fatboy Slim one shot retake),” "Life is Funny," “Love Music (Parts 1, 2, and 3),” “Crucify Your Culture,” “Power,” "Hold On," his new release “Bittersweet symphony (The Verve retake),” and his latest release "The Illest Of Our Time," just to name a few.

[@amydavies2529]

He's dropping a new one May 4th, might want to be on that

[@tretvfrmdabx2544]

thx u luv for the info, def going to do that!!!!

For me this wasn’t a song as such, more of a flex to show you what he COULD do. I’d personally say it’s a solid 9+ for technicality, but musically I probably wouldn’t be pumping it in the car. The man is so versatile!

[@WitsEndGirl]

A really interesting reaction. You've had loads of recommendations but truth is you can't go too far wrong. I believe this a site in Brighton, England, where Ren has lived for a good while.

[@linwhat6550]

What you want! Please do 'What you want' next You will take a trip back in time! Because of his versatility he's just giving you a sample of each flow.

[@bpiraeus-p3b]

Welcome to the RENaissance, a home for the lost and broken; enjoy the ride If you want to dive more into the rap side of his catalogue, I'd start with "What You Want" which is a brilliant homage to the Beasties, followed with "Genesis" followed by "Sick Boy" followed by "Illest of Our Time" (this one goes after the previous one so you have some grasp of the meaning) and the trail goes from there For more ... Rock(?) fare... Follow the breadcrumbs to The Big Push ... and dive in (I personally suggest Sweet Little Lady, Swan Song, Englishman in New York, and the cherry on top ... I Shot The Sherriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop) Last but not least, don't be afraid to check down the alleys, Ren has built himself a circle of talented musician friends that will surprise you and make you glad you chose to look for hidden treasure. Well DAMN .. I can't tell you how many times I've seen this and I hadn't caught the plane formation before ... WOW
