[@thehangingparsiple5692]

"Catch me staring at the stars Just know, I'm staring at me" 👌 Love Mr Apollo. ❤

[@Lou-xq9br]

❤ #ren After I seen Ren at SGP I had a few day's in Brighton so visited this fish n chip shop & most locations from video's he shot there 🥰

[@LadyGX]

Poor REN can’t eat anything on that plate without getting sick😢

[@MoreKellBellPlease]

Love Julius! He's definitely a Renegade ❤

[@nicolefagala3270]

Just awesome! Let him hear the live acoustic 😂❤

[@helenjarvis7755]

The acoustic is equally good wait until you hear him sing his own beat

[@Nanersbananers]

Yay Julius is back!

[@julius_appollo]

Love being back money game trilogy is next !!!!

[@Nanersbananers]

@@julius_appollo woohoo! Can’t wait. Loved this song of yours as well. Keep on grinding 💕

[@francesdoll4039]

❤ i love your song 10 generations. Genesis acoustic is a whole different vibe.

[@LauKaMo]

If u liked this version, watch the live version! In the live one u can see what he is able to do with his breath control. Same song, completely different somehow and the hell his breath control...

[@SteveG-k8q]

Ren loves 90s hiphop so that influences a lot of his rap songs

[@julius_appollo]

You can definitely hear and see the love he has for early hip hop I’m here for it!!!!

[@SteveG-k8q]

@julius_appollo check out his song ' what you want ' it's hilarious mate

[@darkmatter6714]

It's not a beat selection, he produces and writes his beats/music

[@julius_appollo]

I understand that but it’s still a beat selection in the sense that I’m sure he makes multiple beats and that was the one he chose to write this specific song to. We both know he’s talented enough to get his point across with only a guitar so this was unexpected and highly appreciated !!!

[@darkmatter6714]

@@julius_appollo gotcha!

[@MoreKellBellPlease]

He writes MOST of his beats. He got a couple hip hop beats off beat stars for inspiration for Sick Boi. Which led to his issue with Kujo Beats and why he made the song Kujo Beat Down. But I freaking love the beat on this one so much! Check out the acoustic version of this song also!

[@Jason_xofilos]

For the majority of his songs. Not every song for example “Sick Boi”.

[@1individeo]

​​​​go and listen to "Regulate" by Warren G.. you'll be surprised .. or not.. spoiler alert: a person gets murdered in the late night. And tajd in mind that Ren in one of his streams refered to Nate Dogg as the GOAT if you needed a hook back in 2000's

[@geofthompson3844]

Oh wow. I really loved this track Julius. Nice chill vibe, great beat and you were flowing. Great hook too. I'd happily vibe to this one 😊

[@julius_appollo]

Thanks so much !!

[@cindyloyall5237]

Check out Ren's cover of Juice worlds lucid dreams​@@julius_appollo

Love these ren reactions from Julius. Hoping for more

[@moniavedder1933]

really love see Julius reacting to Ren!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sharoncarlisle9453]

Bring Julius back to react to Power please. I really liked his song too.

[@Lulabee2024]

HAAAAYY! that hook is fire! the whole song is GREAT! but DUDE! that hook IS FKN FIRE! (talking about yours Julius!!)

[@julius_appollo]

Thanks I appreciate it !!!

[@sigally]

Some others I think he'll like.. Murderer studio & acoustic, Castles Made of Sand (Bandcamp), The Hunger (for the flows and technicals) Losing It (EDM/House beat from producer Fisher). 😊

[@sammyd8860]

This is one of my favourite Ren tracks - it has such a unique vibe. Loving Julius's reactions !

[@Vicky61407]

Such a brilliant reaction and loved your own song ❤

[@patrickallen1795]

Dude... that song at the end of the video was great!!! "10 Generations"... oh yes sir I'm going to be checking it out, that sounded amazing!!!!

[@Dazkil]

Need to do acoustic version as well it's BIBlLICAL

[@belgand5555]

Really love the song Julius especially the middle was beautiful… love the reaction… there are a few different Genesis videos acoustic and drum and bass. Thanks guys really enjoyed! 🫶🏻

[@terriebartholomew7871]

Great reaction guys! More of Ren and friends, please. Love your song Julius! ☮️💙😎

[@lucygonzalez-zo5nz]

I hope the Money Game trilogy is coming. I’m loving Julius reactions. Thank you keep them coming

[@julius_appollo]

We just did the money game trilogy it’s gonna come out soon !!!!

[@Phoenix_flying]

This was fantastic guys! Really appreciated your breakdown on this. And, just for loving Ren. Cheers, Another Renegade

[@sunshynff]

Ren's influences are all over the map, but if we're talking straight hip-hop, let me start by saying I'm an old head, and was skeptical of this kid at first, but he's made a believer out of me for sure!! He's a true student of the culture, he's studied it thoroughly and respects it, not sure I could pick one specific artist, but he most definitely has a special place in his heart for 90's East Coast Hip-hop. The street performance you guys referred to, is a mash-up of Bob Marly, another song by Ziggy Marley and Nas, and the last song is a track by Dead Prez, called "Hip-Hop", they were big in the NY underground scene in the 90s. Of course Ren has the track from earlier this year that's a tribute to Nas, where he raps over beat of "Halftime" which was on Nas's iconic illmatic album. Ren's also a huge fan of Rage Against The Machine, the god fathers of rap-rock, who don't get much recognition from the rap community, but Zack De la Rocha, the lead singer, is truly a great lyricist and dope spitter, if you guys have never checked out RATM, you REALLY SHOULD!! But DON"T start with "killing in the name of", it's a banger, but very little lyrics, start with "Take The Power Back" or "Down Rodeo" (row-day-oh, like Rodeo drive in LA) Great reaction guys, keep up the good work!! ✌💚

[@JohnSparksScotland]

Nice reaction guys - thank you!!

[@yinunit]

fish and chips (not fries, thicker soft on inside. crispy on outside) and mushy peas - nothing beats it

[@michelejohnk1598]

Ohhhhh your track was beautiful😊😊😊😊 thanks so much!! Lots of love from a German renegade

[@sigally]

10 Generations is so good. Great lyrics. ❤Ren has so many influences in Hip hop. Nas, Eminem, 50 cent, Lauryn Hill, Kendrick, Nate Dogg, Sean Paul just to name a few. Ren produced, engineers mix and masters and directs on this and on most of his tracks. There's around 4 tracks on his album Sick Boi, that he bought beats for. Even on those, he layers, adds adlibs & tweaks. 😊

[@julius_appollo]

Kendrick is one of my favorites and he definitely reminds me of him in the aspect of his ability to tell other peoples stories and his willingness to be anti political

[@suesee4855]

I think his sickness is his true influence. But he mentions a vast array of styles music, such as jazz.

[@looneytube2325]

Please, Do the Money Game Trilogy next. 🙏🏻

[@julius_appollo]

We did money game trilogy it’s coming out soon !!!!

[@jolandafrijlink6103]

This bass....fire..it goes through you.

[@perfectkismet]

You asked about Ren's influences... they're all over the map, truly. But for some clues to specifics in rap - Ren has a Halftime (Nas Retake) where he rapped over the Halftime beat... and then in it he mentioned a handful of other rappers that including Biggie, Mac Miller, 2Pac and I think Lil Peep. There's also a clip from a twitch stream up where he was just randomly singing different things that popped into his head and he did a bit of 50 cent and talked some about 50 and Nate Dogg and how great they were (he also sang Elvis, an original, House Of The Rising Sun... lol). I believe it was another 50 rap he did in the busking video with Sam Tompkins where they freestyled over a Stevie Wonder riff.That's all the oldschool references I can think of off the top of my head, though I'm sure there's more. Hope that helps!

[@perfectkismet]

Oop... he also mentions Eminem here and there, which is probably an obvious one. I love his little one minute 16 Bar Challenge he did over an Em beat, too, during lockdown.

[@carolmillins9199]

Fish and chips with mushy peas.

[@TooHighToPlay]

The DnB remix + acoustic versions are fucking fire too

[@JonniPants]

Looking forward to this one! 😄💜

[@Jinxy44]

Enjoyed this reaction. I think your guest shows good understanding of this track. Its simplicity belies the intricacy of the production. Liked his original song too. Thanks ❤ Subbed for more and to go through your previous Ren reactions - wish they were chronological tho’. Gonna have to guess what your own progression and understanding of this artist.

[@julius_appollo]

We can see about getting them in order from where I started

[@abbymathews5088]

Great reaction guys! Liked the song. 😉❤️

[@philadelphia3117]

I like your guest. He's dope.

[@Timthefamsmith]

Need to react to both "Chalk outline" and "how to be me" by Ren both featuring chinchilla

[@belindamelville2270]

Ren❤❤❤❤

[@HoboSimian]

Nice one ❤

[@stiofanocorra3403]

love ren...great tune🟩⬜🟧

[@baklivak]

I like your guest good input

[@CosmicVagabondPixie]

I **LUV** EVERYthing& ANYthing **GeniusRenTheUnicorn** BUT this one holds a very special place in my **Heart**

[@snoox27]

MASOCHIST by ren is my favourite, new sub love your video

[@piplevett4783]

Great stuff guys! Youre a great team

[@warmfuzzyfeeling]

Great reaction! You're right, it's mushy peas. First time I showed an American friend mushy peas he was deeply suspicious.... like "how do you make a pea MUSHY, and more to the point, WHY?"

[@williamharris7357]

His acoustic version of this is real good also

[@rach15ish]

Great voice Julius ❤

[@Kibashino2]

REN - POWER next for him

[@mikegonzales4199]

Mushy peas.

[@Jason_xofilos]

Now you need to listen to acoustic version.

[@Lulabee2024]

Ren is a HUGE fan of Nate Dogg, loves Kanye's earlier stuff. That's what I can think of off the top.....oh! and Beasties Boys.

Reporting

[@ItsMeBliz]

You want different do Animal Flow, it is really unique.

[@outlawking4106]

You should of done the official version then the acoustic version after it if you really want to show the true level of RENs genius

[@Sheilla357]

Recommendation, if there are more than one version, Official and Live/Acoustic, do the official first then react to the live, same video. The differences between the 2 show a different dimension into Ren's art. With Blind Eyed (Ren x Sam Tompkins), there are 4 versions, must see the Angry Car Park Attendant version, but all 4 are excellent. Mushy peas is just that - mushed up peas. Many Americans think it's guacamole. LOL

[@julius_appollo]

We will do that in the future it’s a great idea thanks !!

[@julius_appollo]

What’s the story with him and kujo beats ???

[@perfectkismet]

Ren's got a 30 minute video up explaining the entire situation (with receipts) but the shortest version possible is that Ren bought a Kujobeats beat for Sick Boi from Beatstars. After Ren went viral and blew up two issues cropped up - the publisher wasn't correctly paying Kujo (which put Ren in breach despite it not being his fault) and Kujo had put an unlicensed sample in the beat and the sample owners came for their money (which put Kujo in breach). Ren didn't know about any of it and Kujo didn't like the way Ren's lawyer was handling the situation so made a claim on the Sick Boi video, getting the video pulled and Ren's channel a copyright strike supposedly "to get his attention". In the end, Kujo tried to extort Ren for a better arrangement instead of just straightening out the initial agreement. Ren got pissed off and cut the whole thing off - he pulled the Sick Boi audio from all platforms so he both couldn't be extorted and to cut Kujo off from any future money even though it was a big financial hit for himself. Then Ren got an in person meet with the CEO of KZbin and got the video reinstated - but Ren's going to redo Sick Boi with a new self-made beat and when that's finished he'll take down the video and replace it, too. (There was more drama than that, some including Kujo's girlfriend getting involved... it was a big stressful mess Ren handled with so much class)

[@RealmsOfThePossible]

WTF are 'goose bums'? Did you mean 'goose bumps'?

[@julius_appollo]

I told him he’s changing it 🤣🤣

[@RealmsOfThePossible]

@@julius_appollo Thank god! I wasn't expecting degenerate, homeless geese or a bunch of goose asses today 🤣

[@mastiffsal8185]

Fish and chips and mushy peas - that's what he's eating. Very traditional.

[@analisasmith7927]

Altho he can’t eat any of it 🙁
