One thing most people overlook is that while young Screech was terrorizing the streets, Jenny was walking them. What is a 14 year old in high heels and rosy cheeks doing late at night on streets that she has walked 1000 times before? This opens up conversation about the foster care system, as well. This song says so much without expressly saying it. It is masterfully written.

[@BrandonWestfall]

Forster Care as well as prostitution. They also miss the fact Patrick was with Screech's girlfriend.

[@johngalasso8074]

Then maybe I "missed" that's where Patrick was. Other than a reasonable guess, where is that implied?

[@triggerhappysound]

@@johngalasso8074 In the song itself? It's not whatsoever. However it is very much implied in some instagram stuff that Ren did promoting it (if I remember correctly it was done as if Ren had had his phone stolen and the thief - in this case Screech - was uploading videos from it).

[@Kennyancat]

And where was Patrick in the middle of the night and why was screeches girlfriend "busy" late at night as well hmm

[@johngalasso8074]

@triggerhappysound like I said, unless there's something I missed like IG promotion. I don't think the song implies it at all, it's just one of many possible inferences.

[@ryderjohnson1293]

"I forgot Ren was there" I can't think of a higher compliment to pay an artist.

[@lokephoenix1039]

I’ve said this on many reaction videos: NO ONE is ready for the last line of Violet’s Tale. The reaction as soon as the word “twins” was said says it all

[@jasonklenetsky5687]

There’s a good chance that the reason Patrick wasn’t home was the same reason “babe” was busy.

[@Snacky_Tayahz]

wow, so many potential layers to a well fleshed out story! Didn't think of that!

[@uninteractt]

omg this is like the only part of the song i didnt go that deep into but woah.

[@brianarsuaga5008]

I've watched this performance of Ren a hundred times and nearly as many reactions. Many by professional musicians. I never heard anyone call out how Ren dissolves away, where you almost forget he's there. I hadn't appreciated that, before. Thanks

[@Pablopax4]

Been watching you both for about 3 years I'm guessing, glad you are onboard, this is Ren's year, only 11 months since Hi Ren dropped and he scores a number one album in the UK. As an independent artist no less.

[@dougoneill7266]

Brilliant achievement for him and his team. well deserved.

[@darrellwood1594]

RIP Jenny and Screech.They came into the world the same day and left this world on the same day!

[@supasoulproductions]

His Money Game is another great 3 parter. He also has major rapping skills ...The Hunger, Animal Flow, Seven Sins, Sick Boi (Which is the title of his new hip hop album that went to #1 in the UK). Also he was in a wonderful band called The Big Push who made a name for themselves busking in Brighton...I Shot the Sheriff, War Pigs, Englishmen In New York. HIs talent level is immense and so is his creativity. Welcome to the Ren-egades!

Amazing how you call him Bard! Thats what he's known as. Ren is a modern bard playing a style called bard-core! ❤

[@AidyShaw]

Yeah. A troubadour, a bard. Gets it.

[@TheSwede9]

I love the point you made that Ren doesn't always need beats and producers and a whole bunch of things around him to just captivate you and be a great musician. He does some great things on amazing beats as well, which I believe he produces a lot of the time. He's just so versatile. I hope ya'll dive deeper into the rabbit hole because he's so multifaceted.

[@jjkehrley]

The greatest thing though, when Ren does need beats, the tend to be his own beats!

[@firefighterchick]

Ren is simply a genius. He can do it all. A lyricist, singer rapper, plays piano guitar and beat boxes. He deserves every bit of success. This is definitely one of his gut wrenching ones. All as an independent artist.

[@michellewhite70]

I have heard the Violet's Tale and the Tale of Jenny & Screech many times, and I still get the chills when he says their names at the end.

[@AP-gb3eh]

The tragedy and horror of generational violence in a live performance,outside with a camera man ,that’s it. Locations chosen by acoustics and availability. He has a wide range of music and has been performing since he was a teenager,now 33 years old. As he has said performing and playing are skills you work at. Ren has supported himself by busking on the streets but his time has come. There are some great performances with his bandmates from the Big Push a band that broke up in late 2022. He has done some great duets with various musicians. Lots of people will tell you about his horrific health issues that sidelined his career, but enjoy his musical journey it’s a gas ☮️

[@chrisdaccardi8821]

I'm here for the Ren journey! Money Game Trilogy is absolutely epic. Everything Ren does is outstanding! 🤘😎🤘

[@christendomdefenderbeready3251]

Yet you do not know >>> # WATCH THE PEAKY BLINDERS ???

[@christendomdefenderbeready3251]

future proves past

[@gclladd4540]

Ren has been making music for years, most of which is on his channel, every song he makes is outstanding in it's own right, now he is starting to gain success which has long been overdue. There is an enormous catalogue of his music available online spanning his entire career both as a single artist, collaborator and band member covering all types of music.

[@mikemedrano8579]

Money Game parts 1-3 are a must watch. Part 3 is his most ambitious video yet. Lifelong metalhead here. I saw Hi Ren in January and haven't been this hyped about an artist since I heard The Beatles at 7 years old.

[@magnus60901]

I was born in 1966, making me only four when the Beatles broke up. When I first heard “Hi REN, I imaged I was feeling how the people felt when the first heard Sgt. Pepper. In my opinion “Hi Ren” the Jenny and Screech saga, and “Chalk Outline” are REN’s indisputable masterpieces. The rest of his catalog is “just” extremely good.

[@garbeal2397]

He is by far the most talented musician of this generation.

[@dustinbritton4779]

Ren dropped sick boi album roughly 2 weeks ago and it hit number1 in the UK! I believe there are 18 songs and all bangers! He has such a range of style that makes him more versatile than most people out today. He is also an independent artist! 🔥 🔥

[@ClearTheRubble7]

It was climbing the charts in the US, starting at 137 and reaching 54 last week or the week before. I lost track of where it is now, but it's done amazingly well for the work of a fully independent artist. Excellent album! 🤠

[@Krust_Acean]

Run down that rabbit hole. There's much more

[@brandonfornwalt2616]

So much. It’s all unique and very authentic

[@AlSnoopsReid]

Another story most reactors miss out on is called What Went Wrong and What Went Wrong ll. It is done by Ren and Sam Tompkins and it's definitely worth some of your time. Much love from Scotland.

[@sarahh7834]

I’ve just recommend Ren and sam what went wrong 1&2 , it’s definitely a fun vibe but a serious undertone. In my top 10 from Ren for sure

[@canadianteslamartin9221]

I don’t believe the videographer is Sam Tompkins, you have the wrong Sam lol

[@gcarap]

@@canadianteslamartin9221 He meant What Went Wrong was Ren and Sam Tompkins,, he was bot talking about Samuel the videographer.

[@AlSnoopsReid]

@@canadianteslamartin9221 I didn't say the videographer was Sam Tompkins! I could perhaps have worded my comment better by saying that Ren and Sam Tompkins both appeared in the video, but it is still true that "it is done by Ren and sam Tompkins". Perhaps you shouldn't make the assumption that I was talking about who the videographer was when I didn't mention the word video or videographer anywhere in my comment.

[@AlSnoopsReid]

@@gcarap Thanks for having my back there my friend. As I put in my answer to him, I didn't mention video or videographer anywhere in my comment.

[@keithedwards689]

I hope that you noticed that 90% of his videos are recorded live and in 1 take. He plays that guitar and sings right there in front of you .. an amazing artist .. and without a label behind him .. he doesn't need them.

[@Shelleyc1972]

I love that you caught the rewind he played on the guitar after he said it. Then after Violet was beaten he used the guitar to fast forward to take you back to the beginning right before she's in the hospital. He's so genius. Like all the nuances I'm still hearing people finding it. Thanks guys!

[@michaelbradley7529]

Ren's portfolio is so diverse it's mind blowing. Once you get thru the usual Ren requests, you should react to Ren's "Love Music" parts 1 thru 4. Then go straight into his recent album release that is currently number 1 in the UK charts.

[@charleenk71]

It reached #1 that first full week, but I believe it has dropped significantly as of current

[@michaelbradley7529]

He made it to the UK album charts place 1 a few weeks ago. Check him out with his band The Big Push.

[@patrickquinlan3056]

I have always loved your reactions. Please do more Ren reactions. Ren is not a newcomer. His health stopped him from enjoying a career. He started making beats when he was 12. He just released his second album which is now number one in the UK. I recommend "Humble". You will love it.

[@troynorton7627]

What she said rang so true ‘one million of DNA’. Teaches you to be on alert. Just be wary sometimes. Brings you into a woman’s world.

[@zachsmith1741]

This is one of my favorite reactions, for sure. You guys reacted the same way I did... completely mind melted, yet incredibly impressed with Ren and the layers of this story. Wow!

[@xdaniedx]

Actually Ren calls his style "Bardcore" but he does so many different genres. From folk storytelling like this video, to rap and reggae. He plays guitar, piano and bass also. He actually is mainly a singer, and story teller but he loves rap so he just released a rap album he put out himself, totally independent, and he got the number one spot in the UK beating out Rick Astley. All this while he's been in Canada for almost a year getting treatment for Lyme disease that ravaged his body for almost a decade because he was misdiagnosed. They told him he was bipolar, was making it up, everything other than Lyme disease so he's on Canada getting this treatment that will help with the nerve damage, neurological damage, brain damage and hopefully will let him eat more than the 5 or 6 foods he can eat that don't make him horribly sick. So while sick he got a frigging number one album and he's very interactive with reactors and loves them because if it wasn't for ya'll spreading his music he wouldn't have the number one album and he past a million followers on KZbin not thst long ago either! His newest video, "The Money Game Part 3" is another 9 minutes of AMAZING storytelling! He's amazing and continue down his rabbit hole, you won't be disappointed!

[@williamparrish9954]

Ren is a musical genius he sings and raps play drum bass piano he produces mixes his own beats he also beatboxes

Money game is incredible. There are 3 of them and the 3rd one is one of the grestest things ive ever heard in my life. If you watch the 2nd one makes sure its the lyric video as there's 2 versions and the lyric one is best. At the very least watch the 3rd one its amazing.

[@MCP920]

Never have I ever! He’s brilliant. Far more than two years. Wonderful reaction. Thank you.

[@Anisoptera-Wings]

I’m new to the Ren rabbit hole, but he is leading me to so many people I would probably never have come across without him. I’ve had to pause at this reaction because you spotted the transgenerational trauma and the fact that he isn’t “The Artist” in these pieces. He’s just the vehicle for the story. Now I want to see what else you guys have been doing before I jump back onto the Ren rollercoaster. What a wild* ride! ❤

You both *NAILED IT* on your reaction, thoughts, insights and you’re damn right it’s better for him to be an independent artist. 🤔 he might even be able to got #1 on the UK charts without a f’kn corporate label to poison his visions... oh wait… he just did.

Thanks for doing this one! 🔥 You never will know what you will get with Ren. Raps, sings, storytells, pop sounding. He does it all. Im here for anything by Ren. Also very great job of yall getting the story, by how they was separated and how that happened. Some dont get it. To see his rap skills, check out Power, Hunger, What you Want, Genesis ect

[@kielia727]

Ren has a large catalog including his music with his band The Big Push. He just dropped an album called Sick Boi. He charted at number one in the UK. Rens music is diverse. There is little that he can't do . He can Rap rap as well. We in the USA are missing out. Please do more Ren. Also, don't know if you all know this but Ren has been very ill for a very long time. He has Lyme disease and was misdiagnosed for 10 years. He is currently in Canada undergoing treatment and has been for a long while. While there he promoted his album , wrote and preformed songs and showed the world what a wonderful person he is. Also most of his work are one takes and he produces his own work. I've never known anyone like him.

[@reactivereplays5666]

I have watched this song maybe 60 times now... This is the first time I noticed on part 2 Ren starts the song saying, "The story it starts, right at the end". At the end of the song Ren says, "The story it ends right at the start". He ALWAYS brings the stories full circle... (like MG3) talking in code for the Renagades so no spoilers! Ren is a stylebender! There is NO genre he cannot do! He can sing, rap, act, beatbox, produce, make his own beats, play piano, drums, guitar, base, he can write (both musically and spoken word at Shakespearian levels) and MORE! He is a one man band! Edit:19:19 You agree lol... I said wrote my comment before you said Shakespeare. Jenny was like her mother and froze in fear which enraged Screech even more. Who was just like his father. With Ren... THIS IS THE NORM! 20:54 I SWEAR! 21:35 You could go for another hour... I have been goin for months on Ren!

I discovered Ren in late Feb and I can't stop listening to him. His new album Sick Boi went #1 in the UK just a few weeks ago. His song Sick Boi is a great follow up to Hi Ren. Money Game 1, 2 and (recently released) #3 is spectacular, make sure #2 is the lyric (completed) video. He does a song with Chinchilla called Chalk Outlines which is amazing. Ren has a deeper rabbit hole than you realize and he dabbles in all genres. I also love Power, Losing It (an EDM track by Fisher that he raps over, personal fave), Murderer (hip hop and accoustic version), The Hunger and so much more. His band, The Big Push, is also worth checking out, with songs such as I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop (video with red suspenders), Englishman in New York, and Bongo Bong are fantastic! I can't wait for you both to learn more about him. He truly is very special. Much love from ON, Canada.

Ren was signed and his label dropped him due to his severe illness which was misdiagnosed for yearssssss. I don't think he'll ever sign his soul away. Thankfully. Loving all these independent GOATS doing things themselves,🔥🔥🔥 you have to check some of Upchurch's new songs on his country album. So good.

[@keithelliott3771]

Your description of Ren as a troubadour was perfect for this Shakespearean Tragedy.

[@BrandonWestfall]

Ren is an absolute beast of a human being. You really can't go wrong with anything he releases. I just had a 6 hour road trip to Utah and am driving back to Idhao tomorrow. I spent the bulk of that 6 hours listening to his entire discography. I highly recommend listening to Losing It or Love Music 1, 2, and 3 if you're looking for up beat fun songs. He has a lot of serious songs but he has a lot of fun songs as well. You just need to know what to look for. My personal favorites are Freckled Angels (Written for his late friend Joe Hughes, react to both the live and studio versions if you choose this one), and Fire. He chose to release Sick Boi at $5/album to make sure everyone could afford it. He also goes out of his way to remove any copyright claims on reactions. Don't sleep on Ren. He'll change your life.

[@dougphelps6917]

If you really break this story down... you have even more questions. Was Patrick not home because he was busy with Screech's girl? Then Jenny's father never left her room? Was she moved out because she was already pregnant when she met Stevie? Is that why he thinks she is nothing but a slut? Are Jenny and Screech not only Violet's children, but her fathers children as well? Is Jenny walking the street in high heels... because she is literally a street walker? Ren indicates this story was based partially on a story he read in the news papers... where a young street walker was killed by a teen. He ends both Jenny and Screech's story saying it is such a shame because that is how the story ended in the paper... the police saying it was such a shame... great reaction. The Ren rabbit hole is deep...

[@nannyogtha]

I’m going to push back on the “slut” as an insult having a deeper meaning. That is the vocabulary of an abuser. Slut/whore is a go-to for them. When I stopped my neighbor from beating his dog he called me a slut. I was 11 yo. My mom was abused for 30 years - accusations of promiscuity were rampant. Even accused her of sleeping with my husband - her son in law. So yeah. Violet’s tale is horrifying enough without the incest baby shit or even a hint of victim blaming (“well she was pregnant so…”) Just wanted to clarify. :)

[@Embalmer2u.]

Glad you made it back to Ren! Welcome aboard.

[@carlahelin5203]

OMG! I’m soooo excited that you have now entered into the Ren rabbit hole! You are the very first reactors I ever watched. Love you guys! Since finding Ren back in March that is all I listen to so was pumped when I saw you were doing Hi Ren. Then so let down that you weren’t able to watch the entire video as the ending, according to Ren, is the part he is most proud of and needed to get the full effect. All of REN’s music is genius! On top of that he is a super selfless guy and just the best, really. He has quiet the back story dealing with undiagnosed Lyme disease and is still currently getting treatment for autoimmune problems. I’m sure some other Renagades will comment more details. I recommend Money Game 1, 2 and 3. (Make sure #2 is the lyric video, it packs more punch then the live version) For more fun and Power, and his band The Big Push live “War Pigs”and I Shot the Sherrif”

[@Phazetic99]

On I had to pause this because something you guys were talking about. When you said Ren was selfless, that the star was the story and the characters. What a great observation. My favourite movie actors are the ones you wouldn't even recognise because they become the characters perfectly. Gary Oldman comes to mind, and Joachim Pheonix. They are such great actors that the person they are dissolved into the character they play, similar to what you are saying about Ren here. Love it

[@sharis9095]

More Ren please. I love watching thoughtful reactors discover the depth of Ren's talent. The tales actually came out a few years ago, Ren just isn't on the radio. He's independent and he has to work/play/pay for everything but he gets to make the story the way he wants instead of having it cleaned up for the mainstream. There's a whole history about Ren's health and when/how his music came out... I won't go into it but it's as compelling a story as these Tales.

[@joelmastrobattisto422]

Such a great reaction, you guys are spot on. You definitely need to run down the Ren rabbit hole. Not all songs are like this as a matter of fact, almost every song is very different from one another. But one thing in common they are all fantastic. I have yet to listen to a Rend song that was bad. If I were you, I would start listening to the Ren X Chinchilla songs. Chalk outlines, and How to be me

[@cyclops60]

Great reaction guys, you really nailed it! It really is astonishing, the thing that stands out for me is how convincing and scary his acting is. He also plays with you by distracting you with his guitar skills before launching back into the nightmare.

And I've watched these 100's of times and that's never occured to me, so thank you!

[@TheHammerIRJ420]

Ren and his videographer/director friend Sam want to make more musical storytelling videos like this with other artists in a series on Netflix. They want to use videos like this to build their resume up to show Netflix what they can offer. I am all in on the idea of a musical Black Mirror series created by Ren.

I would consider re rewatching Hi Ren to the end as the ending was what made that piece of art as good or better than Jenny and Screech. Ren has many layers that bend music classification. His hip hop stuff is insane.

That twist hits everyone. Ren is such an immersive story teller, we start watching a video literally titled "Tale of Jenny and Screech" and by the time we get to Violet's tale, we are so hooked into Ren, we don't realize yes, this is STILL the tale of Jenny and Screech... we just don't realize how yet. Then the end hits you like a truck that you see coming at the last second, but can't do a thing about. You just see the end of the story coming, and know it's gonna hurt.

Ren is amazing! So many good tracks and pieces of art. Genesis, Dominoes, Seven Sins, Power, Depression, Dear God, Humble, Crutch, Oceans, Chalk Outlines, Sick Boi, Suic*de, The Money Game Trilogy, What Went Wrong (Parts 1&2), and Blind Eyed just to name a few of the best ...

They were born and died on the same day as well, truly amazing

Your reaction to this song has instantly become my favorite. Ren is just fabulous and I get so excited watching people experience him for the first time! Fantastic reaction! Thank you!!

Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole! My recommendation Money game 1,2 & 3 in order Sam and Ren what went wrong 1&2 The big push - I shot the sheriff/hip hop And then anything else you haven’t reacted to yet!

[@jeffreyaverett1800]

Definitely check out the Money Game trilogy. Also, Freckled Angels, Suicide and For Joe in that order. There is so much great work out there from Ren. His collaborations with Chinchilla and busking with his band The Big Push are also incredible. Ren can be intoxicating and should come with an addiction warning. 🤘✌️

I have watched dozens of reactions to this performance and I just love your take on it. You may be late to the party but you are really doing justice to his talents. You both have so much more of his content to enjoy yet that I almost envy you (seeing it all for the first time).

I feel like he is doing to music what Quentin Tarantino did to film when he first came on the scene. He makes it so raw and visceral, but you can't stop listening and watching. Even as you struggle to process it. Brilliant.

This just blew my mind! You guys are such a blessing, I've found so many incredible performances on this channel. Thank both of you 👍

[@BrandonWestfall]

It's interesting hearing you say "give him a movie." Ren's stated in the past he actually wants to direct a film and he see his music as a way to getting to that goal.

[@ladonnahafen9938]

I love that you said Ren should have a movie. He hopes to do a Netflix series of dark musical storytelling similar to these tales. This is proof of concept.

[@majbrat]

Literally, our own modern-day Bard to make us think about how our world needs to change. Ren is truly epic.

I've seen dozens of reactions to this, and this was by far the purist reaction. You was so into the story and your reaction to the twist at the end was amazing
