BYOB Reacts To The Big Push [REN] - I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop | V587

[@belinda35]

Ren and Romain did live together for over 6 years. They began busking together and The Big Push was born from that. They lived together up until Ren had to go to Canada for treatment, at which time The Big Push disbanded and they all began to do their own thing.

[@RedStarWhiteWolf22]

He’s 33 now but not in this video. Love your reactions!! Ren is such a gift! 🙏🏻💖🪶🎶🐺

[@Parula06]

Drummer is Glenn Chambers, and he's top notch. Romain and Ren were roommates before forming a band, they had both broken up with girlfriends and needed a flatmate. Girls squealing spontaneously when Ren points a finger is a harbinger of things to come, IMO -- he's got *massive* charisma. I hope this band is able to get back together somehow, although it seems unlikely (Glenn got married and is in Asia, I think). Tons of Ren and The Big Push are on Spotify, I have about 4 hours of their music on Spotify playlists.

[@salishseaartsfoundation]

A reunion of the Big Push .isn't out of the question. I hope Ren brings them along when he's able to tour. It's just me but I don't see the resemblance to Shelby beyond the haircut. It looks like he's been growing his hair out recently. It' looks good! None of that matters given Ren's incredible talent. Can't wait for his drop July 29.The still from the video looks gorgeous.

[@TuPham-gn9vt]

Ren is 33. He was born in 1990. Btw He has an old song called "1990s".

[@graceydez6199]

We in England have a huge bond with Jamaica. We had a bunch of migrations after WW2 to fill jobs. Our Jamaican cousins have of course brought the culture that is part of our melting pot. We had a movement called “Mods” who connected through Ska (a derivative of Reggie and dub) and Vespa motor cycles. Brighton was the Mecca of Mods. Brighton is also where Ren spent his formative years. So thats the Reggie/dub connection for you. 😊

[@SlCKB0Y-sb1kg]

The commonwealth link is something Americans will never understand. My dad, an Aussie spent a lot of time in the 60s with the West Indian community in Notting Hill (well before it became gentrified) and has some amazing cultural stories.

[@leonbrooks2107]

I wish more people would talk about the melting pot our country has been since before the Romans. For me it’s what gives our country its huge cultural relevance and what powers our impact on the movie, music a general art world wide. Ren has a massive blend of musical influences and he seems to personify that blend.

[@yearbyred8588]

He’s actually 33. We Brits all look young….😉

[@markbrooks8144]

I don’t.

[@kathleenswift7979]

Except me🤣

[@redangel169]

A lot of you do...what's up with that?

[@jimrobinson4142]

Speak for yourself 😂

[@suzannesantos86]

That’s true…except for our teeth 🥶✌🏼

[@TrianglesAndCircles]

If I was walking the streets of anywhere and heard this I would go find it and happily be late for wherever I was going.

[@jeremybrown2049]

Support this man at every opportunity!! Saving human souls 1 by 1

[@thehangingparsiple5692]

Don't know if anyone else has said, but he taught himself guitar through watching KZbin!

[@Cunning.Stunt.777]

Ahhhh Busking here in England/Uk is pure amazing. Always drop £ for the talented buskers ❤

[@kevinhayes7830]

Ren is a once in a generation talent he's a artist his work is art not just music 😎👍

[@CorgiDaddy2]

No you are wrong. He's a once in a lifetime artist. I've never seen so much talent wrapped up into one person.

[@WildwoodSon]

Great reaction; there is a video of Big Push's last concert before Ren moved to Canada for treatment; He introduces the band and how they met. Worth a watch. Peace.

[@Silkytoaster]

Do you have the link for that video ?

[@schmeevo1]

I think they would love Bongo Bong. great channel. nice people

[@keimahane]

Love that, "Why you think I was playing that Reggae earlier?" So good, you guys are so much fun.

[@mattayc266]

Rens guitar is an extension of him it sing and with the rest of the band just pure brilliance look at everyone its like a street concert and everyone is invited 😊❤

[@markbeckens]

Money game 1 and 2 is My favorite and he's going to be releasing 3 soon. Another suggestion would be the trilogy. Jenny and Screech's tales and Violet's tale.

[@mothermaclean]

He is 33 years old he's music is on sportify

[@peterveste6976]

thank you for sharing my favourite artist ever with your friends ❤❤❤

[@lauraheim8381]

Favorite new genre is “people reacting to Ren videos “!

[@helenjarvis7755]

Great atmosphere with the three of you and getting to watch Ren and the Big Push 👏👌

[@Perspectiveon]

💥So many good pieces to choose from. For quite some time this was #1 on my playlist closely followed by "Wade in the water/Trouble so hard". Just switched to "Ready for you". Enjoyed your positive vibes in this reaction. 👍

[@RockPowerUSA]

I sincerely hope he doesn't deny them the fun and experience of "LOSING IT"... I guess I mean ME. I've been selfish again. I have noticed.

[@Hdamaall]

This man is to Music, what Stevie Ray Vaughan was to the Guitar

[@1118alpet]

He's 33 as of March 29th.

[@jessicaspaw528]

Dude can beatbox, too!!!! 😂

[@zerofox3d]

Hats off for that Peaky Birmingham accent, you’d blend right in 👍

[@jessicaspaw528]

That deep voice he does and I Shot the Sheriff sounds like velvet!!

[@jeremybyrd8555]

Just found yall today and this was fun. I'd love to see the 3 of yall jam out to Bongo Bong from The Big Push. It's their version of an all time French/Latin Classic.

[@tvadakia]

Ren is 33. He’s on Apple Music all day every day.

[@christinefuss9585]

and Spotify and Prime music

[@cherylmack1260]

Then immediatly after this they played so intense Rock and Roll. by the Rolling Stones. That day wasn't done yet for those guys. I asked Echo to play chalk outline and she played it and even more.

[@stevereid1673]

It was Rock but it was Sabbath with a nod to Rage Against the Machine.

[@woodywoodman2319]

Those transistions... Wow!!!

[@RockPowerUSA]

If you're wondering if it was a good idea to separate each of the videos into individual KZbin videos instead of conglomerating them together, I whole hardly vote that it's a good idea. 👍 He could become an addiction or I prefer "medication" 4 times a day finding first reactioners. I don't subscribe as often as I used to but I did with you. Something authentic in your reviews made me do it, I'm sure. Thanks again.

[@seth1455]

whole heartedly

[@dawnpatterson8708]

This was great. I am enjoying the BYOB perspective. As well as your joy of sharing Ren with them. Thank you

[@violetfemme411]

"Law of Attraction" YES! l love that reference 💜

[@TobiiRheaStarr]

Defo have these two back for more REN! 🖤

[@AmaBrigitte]

That was a wonderfully presented reaction! Ren is one of those artists who has the "it" factor and he is able to connect to people of all walks of life! His music connects everyone and causes people to feel things that mainstream music has been lacking! I cant wait to see more Ren on your channel😊

[@MCP920]

Ren. 🖤

[@Lynxeye-Youtube]

English Man in New York & Bongo Bong... Try it!

Gorran met Rxomain and pkayed with him ,then met Ren who was Romain's roommate for 6 years, right up to when Ren went to Canada. They have some lockdown videos from Live Nation,done from their apt.

[@pamquick600]

Thank You. What a GREAT REACTION!!! Just subscribed!!!

[@PeteFindsObscureStuff]

Loved this. Liked and subbed. Keep going down the various Ren related rabbit holes

[@eileentaylor1691]

there is so much, 'hi ren' and 'jenny and screech' trilogy...amazing

[@patriciacloix71]

Quel talent polyvalent pur chef d'œuvre REN j'écoute de la musique depuis mon plus jeune âge mais la je suis scotchée wow merci à vous 3 🙏👏👍🎸💖🇫🇷

[@jeremybrown2049]

I love the reaction, BYOB!! Looks like we gained a couple more Ren fans!! Careful going down the rabbit 🐇 hole 🕳

[@zebjohnson5580]

It's like Bob Marley welded to Jimi Hendricks

[@stevensmeeth117]

I don't think that Americans have heard of busking!! It's popular in Australia, the U.K and other parts of the world. The performers play and the crowd puts money in the guitar case!! That's how alot of people start their music career!! Much love from Australia.............

[@MelvinMaya]

I've known what busking is for probably at least 10 years or so, so it wasn't a new one for me. But you're right, for some reason a lot of Americans don't know what it is, but it's also not a word we use here, so it kinda makes sense for people to not be familiar with it. That's part of what I enjoy about doing reactions though, is learning about other countries and cultures through the reactions.

[@stevensmeeth117]

@@MelvinMaya Cheers mate have you heard of Black Pegasus?? He had never heard of busking and he said most Americans haven't heard of busking except Las Vagas!!

[@MelvinMaya]

Yes, I check out his content from time to time and I noticed he seems to point it out in his videos. I think it's all relative to where you live or perhaps countries you may have visited. I'm in Houston, TX and it's a HUGE city. Although we do have some "street performers aka buskers" here, it's not a very big scene. I would think New York subways would probably be the closest comparison to what Ren and his mates do. I think I first heard of the term "busking" back when I first discovered DubFX on KZbin (10-12 years ago). Coincidentally, I saw that Black Pegasus has a reaction video that came out last week I think to DubFX. I opted not to do a reaction to DubFX since I've known who he is for so long, and I also haven't looked him up recently to see if he's still putting out content on KZbin. But now I'm curious to go back and look at some of those to see if he was performing in the same locations as Ren.

[@jolandafrijlink6103]

He's on spotify too.

[@normaleehi]

its 4 songs actually, including dj luck's 'a little bit of luck'

[@steviesbadtv]

Great Rxn! Found you in my feed w all the Ren catalog I’m addicted to…!! Going to binge your other Ren Rxn’s…!! 💯🔥 (Have you seen or reacted to any of Tom McDonald’s music? … another incredibly talented independent artist who’s got 30 number one billboard hits and uses his platform to help people with addiction mental health issues and a lot of commentary against the cultural and governmental systems screwing us all over these days.!! Check out his songs called “The System“, “Brainwashed“, “I wish“, “Castles“, and “best rapper ever“…. 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯

[@carriedecker7190]

He does have some of his stuff on Amazon music

[@davidricks7128]

There's a story I think Ren told it. One day the police came to find out why there was a crowd gathering , they saw it was Ren doing his busking so they just walked away an left the crowd to enjoy the show

[@jeffreyallen-uw9uh]

[@adam.4487]

Must hear Ren with the big push singing Wade in the Water / Nina Simone/Trouble So hard Romain is amazing with his guitar solo. Three are still in the music business, the drummer is not, he is now writing code I guess I read somewhere. Someone needs to help with that info, so don't take my word for it. P.S. My name is Ada init M, not Adam. LOL

[@gavinlocke800]

love BYOB on this.....shout out from South Africa

[@summer12336]

What a wholesome reaction, you all were brilliant. Busking is very common in the UK 😊

[@alanrnmahler]

Love this cover and the review. Ren has So much talent!!!!

[@RicardoOliveira-dk8xe]

[@ArtandSoul360]

Ren can play guitar (obviously 😂), bass guitar, drums and piano/keyboards. Gorran plays guitar and bass. Romain plays guitar and piano keyboards. Glen plays the drums and pots and pans on occasion. 😂 Ren, Gorran and Romain all sing and each one has a unique voice that allows them to do a wide variety of covers and originals.

[@stjohnstanley8861]

The Big Push should be the biggest band in the world.

[@richinalee]

Bass dude, bass

[@momishka7]

There’s also a live dead Prez performance on Dave Chappelle‘s block party. Thank you for introducing people to run that’s a beautiful thing I try to too ❤❤❤

[@inspiredfunkmark]

right on dude.. first time I seen ren it's Thomas Shelby !!

[@dbrgr68]

bongo bong is great. new sub cheers folks

[@vornamenachname9905]

Rens guitar play on this one reminds me of John Mayer. He makes the guitar sing instead of playing it. Incredible talented. Oh and btw: I'm happy that you appreciate Romains music! He's a wonderful artist too When it comes to the big push Ren told a story that once, after busking for a longer time, he announced the band will play in brighton on a specific day. When showing up and they wanted to prepare for the gig already around a thousand people were waiting in the streets for the band to appear and the police blocked the roads so they could play safely.
