I hate Ren!! I'm a below average musician and write and record my own stuff, and I see that the more I write I am getting better, with the plan of becoming better than average, with the dream of becoming 'good'... then this bastard comes along and moves the goalpost to 'excellence' off the field and off into the stratosphere... It's like running a marathon, getting to mile 25 and suddenly the rules changes and you have to run another 120 miles uphill to get to the finish... 😂😂😂 As you can probably tell I love Ren to bits really, he's my boy!! ❤❤❤

[@StrateleStudios]

😂🤣😂👏👏👏🫶

[@craigbuschlejr.3934]

"A waste of life in the pursuit of wealth." Fantastic quote

[@StrateleStudios]

Thank you Craig 😊

[@justinatest9456]

All performed live, including the piano and strings, with only one edit (behind the wheelchair, and also possibly as he removes his hood early on). Ren's acting alone here is remarkable, as is the amazing camera work and planning of this one take. And then you factor in the insane lyric writing and story telling... There are few pieces of art as impressive as this.

[@ericstorr9880]

Two cuts. The other is when he removes the hood.🕊️

[@QueenBabylonnia]

There’s a cut when camera goes behind the wheelchair before rain, because they had to ensure mic and electric on him was protected. I only ever heard of this one cut. A comment by someone that that they thought there was a second at the hood because they thought his hand went down twice, is being carried through comments now. I have looked at this many times and slowed it down. His arm goes up to drop the hood over his back, so the hood lowers , but his hand is up, after dropping, you then see him bring his hand to his front and down. This action when you see his hand actually go down, many think its the second time. It’s not as his arm is up when hood drops so hand did not got down over back with hood. So its not a cut, and there is no place in the shot to do one successfully anyway.

[@VanillaLibrarian]

I think the hood just accidentally ended up looking like a cutting opportunity, logistically I don't think it'd make much sense to try and put one there instead of in the vertigo shot (which I don't think they did either). In the BTS footage you can see them practicing the mirror shot, and in most of them the hood doesn't actually cover the whole frame.

[@QueenBabylonnia]

@@VanillaLibrarian agree totally, it would be a bit daft to do one there anyway really, no point.

[@REN4eva]

@@QueenBabylonnia I agree. I watched JoeE Sparks reaction. He is a videographer and he too thought it looked like it could be a cut, but when he clicked frame by frame he realised that there was none. Your point proven!

[@lulumeto]

That's right "if you're not captivated you don't have a soul". My feelings exactly. Thanks for another great reaction ❤

[@payntpot7623]

Yep, he is a one off. I feel lucky to live at a time in the world that Ren also exists, and to have the ability to follow his progress via the internet.

[@caladonn2659]

Ren stated "Mold will Grow upon the Surface and Consumes til it dies, and Our Fate could be the same without this Story to the Wise" The more I hear from Ren the more I realize his Solution is to be a Teacher Opening the Eyes of Millions with his Art and his Heart! And I think Ren's message is Crystal Clear. Ambition and Passion Without Compassion Will Cause the World To Burn! But Ambition and Passion WITH Compassion Can Save It! His Compassion is Manifestly Obvious and If enough of Us actually LISTEN to his words, then Maybe, Just Maybe the Hunan Race may Survive!

[@seanemery6019]

Yes! Truth!

[@woodywoodman2319]

He's already said his next works will be singing and playing music alone! He already has most of it done too! No Rap on the next album!!! I'm Sure some will miss it... but his singing, musical abilities, and performance is equally as good if ya ask me!

[@BluRadoZ71]

Hopefully it's an album of songs that sounds like his version of Wade in the Water. That is by far my favorite video of his/Big Push.

[@sharis9095]

Thank you for watching through before review... it's so much more impactful without breaks. Ren is able to make exactly what he wants so we get to see his thoughts... not a label changing it to make more mass appeal. He is so special.

[@StrateleStudios]

Couldn't agree more! Thank you!

[@kellyt5341]

"Seven sins" is another of Ren's masterpieces, no video on this song but it doesn't need it. It is already intense enough, no video needed.

[@davidrowney6343]

Ren blurs the line between rap and performance poetry. It is multi-sense art. He creates such aesthetically engaging pieces. It's masterful.

[@djtidy01]

Only 1 small cut as the camera panned around the wheel chair when Jimmy hits 40. Incredible cinematography with a message. Ren really does it all

[@richardfield6801]

Was it a cut? Have you got insider knowledge on that? I looked really hard and couldn't see it. And I could see no reason for it here unless something had gone wrong. One reactor suggested that it was to get the quartet in place, but there was no reason why it couldn't have been already there waiting. The camera had not scanned that part of the space previously. If you know something, I'd be interested to hear.

[@Norpal]

"Not Scarface: The Musical" crammed into less than 10 minutes, while also conveying an ever-important message. Absolute masterclass.

[@Silkytoaster]

Just love how you focus so intently one what you are watching - then give you thoughtful opinion. Ren did an interview with the Zach Sang Show - if any one wants to really get to understand who Ren is and the journey of our Sick Boi then this interview will take you there . In my opinion its his best interview yet .

[@maddfishy1975]

Rens message is so deep and meaningful. We go to school, are told to do all we can to get the best grades, to attend the best colleges and universities, to get well paid jobs, chase the wealth, buy a nice house, have kids and repeat the cycle. We’re taught to earn more than we need, more than we could ever spend, while most of the world lives in poverty, bombarded by neighbouring countries. That cycle has to end. We need to become one with our planet and stop raping it for resources and wealth. We need to become one. Bring on the renvolution!

[@OlleStahlberg]

Ren is not a song writer - Ren is a piece maker (and peace maker)✨👌🏼✨

[@spinalobifida]

The lady on the left accidentally got wet when the rain started. He had to buy her a new bow. Props to her for staying still.

[@MikeyPea72]

I really enjoy your Ren reactions. You really appreciate Ren's genius and art. You may not know that Ren's "Sick Boi" album reached No 1 on the UK charts so the word is spreading thanks to you and many other reactors. Thank you.

[@lolsaXx]

Without being signed to a label! As an independent artist! I think it is incredible and an inspiration for musicians of the future.

[@24323151]

Shakespeare for the 21st century. With the added bonus of being anti-Capitalist. You couldn't want for more. Art makes you think, and great art changer's the way you think. Absolutely fucking brilliant.

[@jwarrior852]

And the award for Best Ren goes to, Ren!!!!

[@GarnetJ]

This could easily be a stage production! Ren is a master storyteller. I loved the addition of piano and strings. Ren said he’s been playing piano since he was 14 years old, so it was nice seeing him play at the beginning. The BTS that was filmed by Wolf Johnson is really good! Samuel Perry-Falvey and the crew dud a fantastic job filming the video. It’s a work of art 🖼️ with a message 💵

[@jamesdoherty6558]

ren is next level

[@dawnpatterson8708]

This was an EPIC creation.

[@twistedwirestarter160]

Glad you got to this one my friend. Ren truly is a genre or Renre of his own. Our boy hit No.1 in the UK charts with the release of Sick Boi album. The world is starting to pay attention.

[@iamsquatty]

"Renre" .... i like that 😂💜🐷

[@shirazzza]

2 words about Ren have been buzzing about in my head is - accessible & intimate. Anyone can listen to him & be drawn into his messages, very important messages. Renegade crew unite!

[@caladonn2659]

Ren is a Master at Combining all art forms to support his stories. From Location and Video Directing Worthy of Tarantino or Spielberg, to Lyrics Shakespeare would have been Proud to have Written, To an Emotional Performance on par with Marlon Brando or Morgan Freeman and the Musical Prowess of Jimmy Page or Eric Clapton and the Vocal Chops of Robert Plant or M&M! He can reach right through the Camera and Grab the Soul of his Audience and hold it in the Palm of his Hand! Ren really does have it all!

[@lisaswanson7442]

Ren is a creative genius and I am so very happy to be watching his successes!

[@piplevett4783]

Ive only just discovered you through your beat down reaction, darn algorithm kept you hidden from me. Good news ive been able to follow your journey and watch your love for Ren grow - mirroring my own experience. Much love and respect to you. thank you for the excellent reaction

Heed my words... ya need to see Money Game pt3 Official After Party... an Outstanding BTS documentary of the making of this... featuring Knox Hill, Shot by Wolf Johnson! Loads of Great video... including a birds eye view of the ending scene from the catwalk!! Plus loads more I Know you'll enjoy! Ren is Truly Special, one of a kind!!

[@tribute1965]

Great insight as always. Ren continues to to raise his game. I'd love to see you react to Seven Sins. It's also on another level. If you didn't know, his album debuted at #1 in the UK. Astounding for an independent artist. Even crazier since he's been in Canada all year getting treatments and couldn't promote it in any of the normal ways.

[@kellyt5341]

Yes, "seven sins"

[@kellyt5341]

Also number 54 out of the top 100 on the Billboard charts for the US. Number 1 album on itunes a few weeks ago as well. He had some more top 5 but can't remember the countries.

[@Jonkon75]

@@kellyt5341 new zeland and Australia I believe I saw some posters say

[@yarsheets4572]

How seriously brilliant of Ren to consider including a scene in this video which allows him to fix his hair. Otherwise, since it's a one-shot video, he'd be wearing bag hair for the entirety of the video.

[@Barzo7]

Fantastic reaction video..... Thank you

[@GW-kf1be]

❤❤❤

[@mldkenny]

The perfect reaction to such an amazing performance and he truly is " One of a Kind " simply another level.

[@salishseamermaid]

An entire feature film condensed down to nine minutes.

[@cynicalguy]

Your reactions to Ren made me smile tonight, thank you - got through about 1/3 of them - noticed you haven't done any in a while, hope you've heard the songs if even if you haven't reacted to them - he's released quite a few stunning things in the last couple months - a Pi day rap tribute to Nas (Halftime beat), a mashup of songs by British DJ/EDM Artist Fred Again played on guitar that's stunning, a retake mashup of Back on 74 by Jungle and Message in a Bottle, and a tribute to a lost friend, McKay (piano in the Hoodoos of Drumheller Alberta).

[@Thomas.Saunders]

Thanks for this reaction video, and for supporting our man Ren.

[@spruce381]

Honestly can’t think of any artist who raps over Mozart like piano, then switches to s string quartet - with a rap so good you don’t think - where are the beats - superb. ❤ Loved that it blew you away. Ta.

[@graemepenton5851]

I have watched this probably 100 times , in the end simply to watch the reaction , the verdict is unanimous , we are blessed to have this guy in these God forsaken times , things aren't looking too optimistic and he can take you away , at least for a moment .

[@elevown]

Yup it was more or less all a 1 take and the music recorded during the performance. I have heard there was a cut when it went behind the wheelchair to change his mic or something tho, and then it picked right up. Ive heard the last bit was scary- they only had the warehouse booked for so long- and he only had that 1 custom made suit- it there had been any mess up after turning the sprinklers on before the end, they could not do any more shoots since his suit was soaked!

[@sampanther8854]

Thank you for a lovelly reaction I appreciate your wise words.. Especially the part of not having a soul if you don't get Ren 😂 so true 😁💖✌️

[@craigmitchell604]

[@lynette.]

As you said WOW it leaves you speechless.

[@godinflt555]

Hope: “I’m the voice you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope…”. This return line from “Hi, Ren” is important. In the beginning of the video, Ren (Jimmy) loosens the noose from the “money bag” around his head. Similar bags were used when people were hanged so that the audience/executioners did not have to see the physical, human reaction to their death. Facing the truth of death, struggle, and, ultimately, being guilty of whichever crime someone is guilty of, is important. Ren’s tale of Jimmy is one of revelation and of hope. It is one of self-realization and regret. But also, it is one of warning to the future; a chance at something better if people would just “heed this word to the wise”. Brilliant!

[@kristin9905]

I couldn’t wait for this reaction! ❤❤❤

[@StrateleStudios]

Hope you enjoyed it!

If I had some money, I would produce him writing, building and playing a 90 minute opera piece in a real theater with the full orchestra and all (sets, costumes, effects, lights). Ren is 100% up to the level of G. Bizet or G. Gershwin. Btw, the piano intro is a rewrite of the intro of Piano Concerto in A minor, Op 16 by E. Greig. Best regards.

Glad Rensdays are back. Try "Loco" next, you'll love that the whole song is vocal acapella, and just crazy fun lyrics.

[@Pablopax4]

Apparently Andrew Lloyd Webber, the musical composer was raving about it, a surprise and not, somehow.

[@mcguigance]

I think youve hit the nail on the head ibthink we all love him because we can tell he genuinely cares because its more about the mesaage even though his songs are amazing he could do the continuing music and not stop..yet he does.

[@belgand5555]

Always enjoy your take on Ren.. I think I have seen this well over 100 times and it’s no less powerful.. all it takes is that specific part in the strings section for the tears to flow.. He has so much love for people and uses every opportunity to try to facilitate change and positivity..take care and thanks!♥️🎶💔

[@Mark-om3cl]

The string parts in this choke me up for some reason. Ren is and has knocked everything he releases out of the ball park. No one else like him. People should appreciate this talent. One of the best lyricists I’ve heard in a long long time. Everything is very poetic and his story telling and ability to make you enter the world he’s creating in a song is unreal.

[@girldownunder9043]

Hi Jeff! Ren has been dropping some new music lately. He has another one coming out this Thursday a piano instrumental but I've come here to see if you've reacted yet to his retake mashup of Back on 74/Message in a Bottle.

[@TheMindOfJeremy]

Grieg's Piano Concerto in A Minor is the familiar intro Ren plays. Outstanding video, to say the least!!!

[@thetalantonx]

Thank you so much for watching the video through before analyzing. Ren is a master storyteller and he does that through pacing, cadence, word choice, acting - and stopping the flow breaks the story.

"Suic!de" is another masterpiece by Ren. Please give it a listen. It's about his best friend that committed suicide. The song is so painful and beautiful at the same time.

[@samararobinson-t1y]

My favorite part is when he leaves the story to speak directly to the audience and then comes back into character and the way he conducts the string orchestra with hand gestures as he sits.

He seems to have an ability to see how everything is connected to everything else. The first vocal is from Violet's Tale and he ends with "It's such a damned shame" from Jenny and Screech's Tales" an allusion to the generational tragedy theme, even though Jimmy's family is obviously wealthy.
