I FANNED OUT...YUP!! | REN CASTLES MADE OF SAND-REACTION | THE PAUSE FACTORY

[@ClearTheRubble7]

You said one of the best things I've ever heard a reactor say about Ren--that he makes you feel like you're walking right beside him as he's singing or rapping about his experiences. Yes! Exactly! And yes, that goes for all great musicians and artists, with Ren being one of the greatest.

[@jorice5528]

Facts ❤

[@melodyyoung9640]

Yes. Ren is really close to average. We all get it. He is this time.

[@SandyNoblitt]

Yes

[@sabinemeurer2972]

Absolutely! ❤

[@katemc8992]

Animal flow....try acoustic version...think it might wi you over....respect from Manchester UK 🔥🔥🔥

[@shellyblythe1558]

I don't know why more reactors aren't showing this song as much love as others. It is straight 🔥 one of my favs

[@robertlenzo3303]

I believe it was only released to those who bought the album.

[@lleldridge1]

It's my fav too. But I believe only the BandCamp download version has this track. I understand Ren added it as an incentive for more people to download when he was edging toward that #1 in the UK.

[@Than211]

@@robertlenzo3303 It's because it was a special release when he was pushing for #1, so everyone who bought the album early never got it, myself included. Granted, I'm glad Ren put it up on YT for us to listen to but for us early buyers of the album, we don't have the digital version of the song.

[@independentfreethinkeroutl2176]

Because the title sounds like it would be another downer... i thought i heard all 50+ of gis songs

[@belgand5555]

Thanks… 🫶🏻♥️🫶🏻 after you hear Animal Flow a few times it’s different… now it gets under my skin in a good way… I know I’m not alone as it was now featured in a car commercial lol… some of his songs just be like that… Appreciate you!🙏🏻

[@kjsdottor]

I came back to this react again and I really like your description of feeling like you're right there with him. Same when watching his Bittersweet Symphony take.

[@sigally]

You're a great reactor for me because you get Ren's Hip Hop the way most don't. Most reactors don't get the layers, the doubles, etc. But you get them. Ren's musical influences are all over the place. From the Hip Hop greats like Dre, Eminem, 50 cent, Nate Dog, Lauryn, Kdot and many others. Those are just some in Hip Hop. He has influences in all genres. Sting,The Clash Sex Pistols, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage against the machine to name just a few.

[@jodienaiburg4076]

First time seeing this reactor and I agree 💯. So glad I came across this.

[@jorice5528]

💯 me too 👏👏🔥🥰

[@jodienaiburg4076]

That is the best description of what its like listening to Ren's music....Ren does the music and you feel you are right there next to him walking down the block watching everything he is talking about it... he creates the vision with his words.... THAT IS A GIFT. Great reactions! 🥰🥰

[@michaelthony9525]

Funfact: the hook is sampled from the outro from the anime Samurai Champloo

[@seanjenkins4311]

I knew I recognized it from somewhere. Thank you. I spent days trying to figure it out.

[@jacks9624]

"... I stare at empty ceiling cos it reflects what's inside" Dang

[@AprilJMoon]

I actually got deeper into the Ren rabbit hole because I went searching for tracks/music of his I can pick apart just to know that he isn't 'all that'. Never did find anything, and I am happy that I didn't because it proves that my 1st instincts were correct. Yeah, there are tracks that don't get regular plays, but that's because he has so many that I REALLY love

[@LuckyLeftyD]

YOU and this song deserve all I can give. Thank you Jay.

[@Dad-JanieWorld]

I legit get happy watching you react to Ren. There a ton of reactors bro. But you appreciate it like me. I’m a 43 white dude in Ohio lol. 😂. Just cool as hell what a Rapper from across the pond can do on the internet.

[@pmalex68]

You hands down do the best breakdowns of Ren’s bars. Love watching you cause you get so deep and I learn more. Thanks

[@jeffreyaverett1800]

If you haven't checked out the acoustic version of Animal Flow, I would highly recommend doing so. I had similar feelings the first time listening to the original (it has grown on me since), but the acoustic version is a whole different animal. 💛🤘🤙✌️

[@carolkellison9359]

You are my favorite Ren reactor. You are so animated and fun to watch..

[@SandraP3796]

I love this song. Hardly anyone reacts to it. Thank you for your great reaction

[@StantonMoira]

I’m fan girling you as a reactor. You are da bomb. Love your reactions. ❤

[@H8tfulJay]

Love!!!

[@ChristinaLee727]

Same!

[@Kierron85]

When you cried out “shut up!” I nearly lost it. So much passion. Killing it as always!

[@Melanie-AlwaysJustMe]

Jay this was straight fire 🔥 amazing reaction. I love how you enjoy Ren's music. He is a true amazing artist. I can listen to him all day too!!! If you do the album, you know we are here for it 🔥 Love ya man! ✌🏻💚💪🏻 P s. It took me long enough to get over here and watch these recent reactions, made my whole week 💜🥰

[@comrie22]

What a treat! I looove when you react to ren! He is a genius and you know it ❤

[@stephaniewilson1153]

I think I just stepped into the twilight zone. How have I not heard this Ren track before?!!!!! WTF?? This is amazing. Definitely one of my new favs. Loved your reaction.

[@genebeck4646]

Bro you need to react to his track with edan nash you will love it🔥

[@LuckyLeftyD]

When I need to listen to this song, I do. When I really want to feel it, I watch this. ❤

[@Mirrorhead66]

I’ve followed you since Hi Ren. Love your reactions. Love your insights and passion when it comes to Ren. Keep up the great work brother. Uk Renegade ❤🐷🐷🐷

[@williamfulcher314]

im late af but, glad youre back bro. youre one of my favorite reactors

[@jacmacsgirl]

Will you please react to Ren Back to 74. I need someone to react that really understands R & B. These kids are killing me out here.

[@H8tfulJay]

🤣🤣 I promise I got you!!

[@JR_99_97]

I've been checking mu phone like every 2 hours for Jay to do back on 74

[@H8tfulJay]

@@JR_99_97 I'll get it dropped on Weds!!!

[@idiocracyunfolding9053]

Ren is a beast. Ge leveling uo right now.

[@steviehinton9403]

I am so happy that you are reacting to Castles! It and Sick Boi 2 are my favorites on this album. I enjoy your reactions and love your breakdowns!

[@jdmmike7225]

Absolutely. Sick Boi pt 2 is thermite 🔥 First tune on my playlist lol.

[@PippaHinchleyComedy]

Loving your reactions and you have an uncanny ability to get ALL the words every time - don't see any other Americans except maybe Knox hearing them. I'm a Brit and I have to.play back multiple times on the really fast stuff to catch it all! Give Animal Flow another shot tho - how can u not vibe to that bongo rythm!? Peace n love. Pip

[@mrdarengilbert3907]

Respect man

[@seagull01-cp8pb]

Why do so many people not like Animal Flow? One of my faves. Great reaction though.💕👍🦇

[@woodywoodman2319]

Ren makes Music!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@raymondduncil5786]

Truly a underrated song 🎉🎉🎉

[@jorice5528]

Superb reaction to this freakin beauty 👏👏👏🥰 This is BP’s favourite off the sick boi (bonus tracks) album. 100% facts Ren makes you feel like you’re right there with him 👏👏👏❤

[@CarlosPeligro3]

I’ve been watching your Ren videos from awhile back. Thought I subscribed, but now fo sho!!! ForRENsick Investigators.

[@PippaHinchleyComedy]

Jaaaay!!! Please do Ren n Chinchilla - CHALK OUTLINES! And Big Push I Shot The Sheriff/Zion/HipHop... the one where he wears red braces (suspenders to you!) is the one you want with best sound. Thx! Pipx

[@Scarlett.13.13]

I think this is one of the strongest rap performances of Ren. Shame it won't be available on Spotify. I still feel like this should have been on the album instead of maybe Masochist?..

[@TheManWhoCan1998]

I think Masochist was one of the realest songs on the album. He wasn’t afraid to show the darker emotion of anger that all of us have sometimes, but refuse to admit it. Everyone has light and darkness. It’s how you frame it and how you cope with it.

[@sabinemeurer2972]

Thank you! ❤ "At any given point of time" - I feel the same. Ren is a modern poet and a hell of a producer with insane rap and singing skills. ❤

[@jasonklenetsky5687]

This song is great to jam out to in the car. It’s been scientifically proven.

[@Lotus.Lottie]

Jayyyyyyy, please do REN’s Back on 74/Message in a Bottle retake from the last couple weeks, so 🔥

[@melodyyoung9640]

you have to listen to animal flow a few times. it's the best

[@jdmmike7225]

This track is definitely the hidden gem of this album. Ren is definitely a honor student of the game. Great reaction bro 🤙🔥

[@Danielle-ed9kt]

🔥 🔥 🔥

[@melissawinstead8848]

😲The whole album??? YAY🤗(Kermit hands) I'm here for it!! Lmao. You almost didn't make it thru this one... I don't know how you're gonna get thru the album. The whole album is like this!!😂😂😂😂 Ren is FIRE thru and thru and he is a such a good human. It sucks hes gone thru what he has albeit I think the travesty of it has made him into a beautiful soul on this Earth! Life can be so bittersweet! Peace and love always until there is no more!😊❤

[@montanaford6090]

I can't wait for you to react to "Back on 74", his latest. Very different then this, but I'm sure you'll appreciate it! I enjoy your reactions to Ren!!!💯🔥🔥🔥

[@ricksurratt9034]

Oh so good

[@JoH4LH44]

Like me. I too listen back to Ren “lyrical shit all day” long and well into the night. Great reaction Thanks ❤

[@lleldridge1]

Thanks Jay, I'm so conflicted about how much I love this track, honestly it's my fav on the album. The beat and sample (some sort of Japanese anime track) is so 🔥🔥🔥, but I feel bad for vibing because the lyrics are so heavy. Ren does this a lot, serious lyrics laid on top of a vibey beat. Glad you're dipping into Ren tracks again... many have really great lyric videos now. Looking forward to your continued Ren journey. Cheers!

[@dumpster_muffin]

Run it 🔙❤🔥

[@IamGrootOG]

First time I heard this song. Glad it was with my dude! 😎

[@michaelwalsh7359]

Congrats on the shout out man! I really enjoy the reactions and this was another one I heard here first! Thanks for doing what you do man! Looking forward to more reactions!

[@user-iq42]

Ren standing beside you, sometimes I feel you standing beside me. Thank you for letting me watch with you. NYC 90s girl

[@Turntablist_Mk2]

When the songs u cut off the album are better than everyone elses "A" game lol.

[@MariRoxUrSox]

This song is straight 🔥🔥🔥 Not many reactors do this one, so I get so psyched whenever I see it. Great reaction as always, and congrats on Ren finding you and on finally getting the album. I vote Yes! to doing it with us... I'm definitely here for it! ❤

[@carissamarple]

Ren ❤ Jay 💚

[@iamnobody2]

this is a nujabes beat, the godfather of lofi hiphop. ren does amazing with it

[@tan5taafl]

From effed up Monday to happy day with Jay. Right on! It’s like a surprise Santa. Thanks for sharing ✌️

[@edwardkent]

Probably the best rapping effort from the boy wonder from Whales, even though i say that myself

[@bethellen1962]

[@Earthling-12358]

Nice to see you in the crowd, keeping up with Ren, walking down the street. 🎶🎶

[@nada-8-4-2]

Don't ever change the way you react, love your style

[@cody2oo]

Blows my mind he put this as an extra track. Easily one of the best, point blank period.

[@lysfleming3331]

I had never heard this before! Great reaction.

[@michaelphipps8647]

Yeah it's 🔥

[@hollyryalsgrubb1273]

I cannot figure out why he didn't include this one on the standard Sick Boi album. It is way Up There on my list of favorites.

[@MissyGail4eva]

'Cause he actually can see into the future and knew that he would be in a race for the #1 album with Mr. Rick roll himself, and knew that to push him through the gate for the win he would need to drop a last minute digital copy of his album with "Castles" as one of it's exclusive bonus tracks.. of which I happily ordered, making it my 8th download, lol

[@PaulHunter1972]

When you have one of the most creative artist of our time and one of the greatest reactors that catches everything, I fuck with this, thanks brother.

[@ElectraBlack39L]

You have one of my favorite openings where you smack your logo.

Damn! Epic thanks 4 react

[@louisecrowther8017]

H8teful Jay, I love your Ren reactions, not as much as I love Ren but near enough 🥰😊Ren we love & support you ALWAYS & this beat down is 🔥

[@elwray3506]

I could think of one or two songs, that he could have left off the album, just to fit this one in. Not that those were bad, but this one is clearly one of his best.

[@benttl77]

This one sounds like he talkin to us about his week while at lunch at the oriental buffet

[@peterveste6976]

thank you for reacting to this one and supporting my favourite artist ever great breakdown sending big love from the UK ❤❤

[@Bearlissimo]

My favourite Ren reactor... Please please please check out Ren - Nas Halftime Retake!!! Bar fest.

[@MoreKellBellPlease]

Great reaction! This song was only available when you buy the album on Band Camp, but I had already bought myself a CD, a Vinyl, and gifted others digital copies so I couldn't bring myself to buy another copy lol. Love this song. I can't believe he left it off the album. It's one of the best!

[@H8tfulJay]

I saw the vinyl!! I want the alternate art one so bad man!!!

[@ericgrady5102]

He does the exact same thing to me....can't even put it into words. Absolutely amazing. The man is an alien

One of Ren’s best. Enjoyed this a lot 💜💜

Fucking mad track...i get super excited when i c u react to Ren! Makes my day everytime! Can't wait for u to react to the album! Had to pause with u not fucking with Animal Flow, that's the track i wake up to everyday to get me motivated and moving! Fucking love it! The beat is crazy good to these ears! Is reminiscent of early Kanye 'Blackskin'! Great reaction to this slept on track my friend xx appreciate u!

Great reaction, great album, not a bad one on it, thank you 🙏🦉❤️🐊👍

[@WorldGoneMad968]

"I need to know exactly who you grew up listening to bro, because I hear everything in this shit". You hear everything because he was literally influenced by everything. He's a musical encyclopedia. Every genre you can name and every flavour within each one. His influences shine through in most of his songs. BTW...love your reactions. Smiled my ass off watching you fan out over thi sone!

[@drealyn1486]

great reaction! One of my favorite songs off the album, pity he only put it on the one available via bandcamp so a lot of people are missing out on it!

[@geofthompson3844]

This is definitely top tier from Ren and that's saying something, because he's very rarely below a 9 out of ten. And your reaction is brilliant because it is so clear to me that you are absolutely loving our boy as much as us.❤

[@panchomcsporran2083]

Ren said he has hard drives full of songs at various stages, he recons more than a thousand.

[@kenspencer3448]

YOU are one of the only reactors reacting to this gem! Love it, Jay

[@cas9065]

I would love that, hearing you go through the full album.
