I did want to point out he walked backwards down stairs with a cane over his head while rapping and looking at the camera without ending up in the hospital like I would have

[@bradbradford8576]

Yea wtf was he bit by a radioactive tick?! Dude's got superpowers now

[@nathandts3401]

You got a timestamp with a mic wire in it? This one can't be live. A one take video with this many extras makes this hard enough to film. We've seen him do black magic with the sound levels whilst he moves to different environments, but there's no way he rapped for however many takes this took. Still a great song and video, but no way the vocals are live.

[@jkoll42]

@@nathandts3401 He's posted they spent like 24 hours filming to get the one take video. I don't believe it's live audio because there aren't acoustics like in Jenny/Screech/Violet trilogy and there is a backing track not guitar. There's no lapel and if it was an overhead/directional combo there would be more acoustics. He's still rapping over the track...walking backwards down stairs...cane over head....looking at the camera

[@marktyler3381]

@@nathandts3401 No, it's a one take vid only, that's enough!

[@xploited-lp9tz]

He is in a hospital though. Genius of our generation. A true gift.

[@shaness112233]

Everything that Ren does feels *powerful*. He can literally recite a nursery rhyme and have me thinking, "Well, that's some deep shit, innit?"

[@iandavison3704]

Being a movie buff myself .I think he is paying tribute to cult film classics ..Animal Farm being the main theme based with scenes from these classics like The Shining (girl on bike in hallway) Witches of Eastwick ( 3 girls round Rens feet ) A clockwork orange ( dressed in white with a cane ) Silence of the Lambs ( cannibal stair scene with lamb ) the chocolate factory (the beat ) Wind in the willows and creature from the black lagoon ( bathroom scene toad and creature in bath ) All cult classical movies.. Im sure there are more .. this is a piece of art ..nice reaction.

[@endlessrage4062]

Great observation. I caught all those apart from The Shining and Witches Of Eastwick, well spotted. 👌

[@jkoll42]

Yeah I caught a bunch of them but not all. There are also easter egg callbacks to previous songs and videos

[@markmarlatt1105]

A lot of his others songs have tons of film references as well! He definitely has spent a lot of time watching and reading everything.

[@AP-gb3eh]

And Dogs playing poker just for laughs 😂

@@AP-gb3eh Cassius Marcellus Coolidge has entered the chat. It's Texas Holdem and hard to see what the royal cards are by the artwork but I think right dog won with a single ace and no other matches by either dog. Why the crap am I analyzing dogs playing poker in a music video? Someone help me.

His play on Orwell's Animal Farm is brilliant! Some Clockwork Orange vibes here too.

[@aimeekeel]

Absolutely. Love the Clockwork Orange vibes, his take on Alex fit so well here.

Yes, all of the above. It's incredible!

[@gwydion56]

I am about to be 67 years old, and this is the most exciting new talent to come forth in a long time. Ren is the creator of a new genre, and it has the power to hunt down your soul and impact you in unexpected ways. As a former mental health professional, I see his music expressing his story, which is a particularly troubling variation on the lives of so many people who struggle with mental health issues. His music hurts me in a way that makes me grow. I can't say that about anyone else in the current music scene. Your reaction was perfect.

[@laurelhager8495]

I am also 67 yrs old and i have never witnessed talent like this.loved tHE line “HUrts me in a waY that makes me grOw. He’s impactful.❤

[@JonNo86]

The thing is though, he's not new or coming out of nowhere. His upcoming album Sick Boi is actually his 4th album since he started making music AGAIN in 2016. He's actually been making music since 2002 when he was only 12 years old but he took 9 years off in 2007 because of his Lyme Disease slowly killing him and going misdiagnosed. He's been a legend in the UK for years, but the world is finally taking notice.

[@bmack1708]

You lucky bastards, you kept him for yourself all these years ...... learn to share!!!

[@zacharyroach2067]

Thats not counting his music with the big push or his original band most people don't know about "Trick the Fox"

[@lize-mtz753]

I discovered him through another reactor Knox Hill but I looked for more reactions and found this channel.

[@coreyms]

One of the best reactions Ive seen in terms of interpretation. Yes, like others have said, the Orwell Animal Farm insinuations are there, but I think you’re the first to nail down the other aspects of the meaning as well

[@bennikolajevs5865]

Ren always has two meanings

[@jonathankall3062]

Nailed this reaction ! Add this to Knox Hill’s detailed Animal Farm breakdown of the performance and these two have nailed it!! 🔥

[@TheRevWillNotBeTelevised]

I think Mr Loyd is just explaining Animal Farm in a another way. Of course these things are up for interpretation. Ren is Starlin. That isn't a good thing. It is a warning... but not that Ren is amazing. It's a warning about KZbin, TikTok, Twitter and social media in general.

[@YTDumpsterBaby]

Well Animal Farm was a commentary on communists in which mass rebelled against the "powerful." They replaced the business owners, the ruling classes and the land owners with "The people!" Except "The people who led the people turned out to be dicks who ate their own! Killed and betrayed their cause and became worse than the people they usurped. In animal farm the same shit happened except with animals.

[@corneliusnubston]

they arnt just there , they are out right stated look at whats wirtten on the whiteboard at the begining

[@TrianglesAndCircles]

Ren and his group of friends are on a path of redefining the music industry. I don't even see a fork in the road.

[@chariotreign]

Agreed :)

[@BizzonaterInc]

The man has pulled the road out from everyone and is single handedly paving a new one in the direct direction towhere he wants it to go, and all for getting on this highway

[@chariotreign]

@@BizzonaterInc Yep

[@77zhenry]

I hope this is true

[@TrianglesAndCircles]

@@77zhenry Ren - Sick Boi is now the number 1 album in the UK without a record label. For an independent artist to accomplish this is a testament to the redefinition of an industry we are watching unfold. Not just new rules - a new game.

[@patrafl0]

The one take video made with friends is also incredibly impressive.

[@achebwahs1111]

I think I recognize the church out on the street at the end being the same as where Ren and Sam busk on a few tracks?

[@cristonsloan]

Totally agree, although I'm almost 100% certain there are some hidden cuts, but done extremely well (whenever the camera lingers on a door, wall or floor and the frame fills with just one colour, for instance). Still just as impressive, with the amount of planning that needed to go on beforehand. And more entertaining and engaging than most record label artists who have a massive budget. Can't get enough of this artist!

[@greenmonster4918]

Nope, it was 1 take. It took them a bunch of tries & 8-9 hours, but the video is 1 take.

I like how this was filmed at the Ivy in Brighton. Right where he busks with his band.

[@WhoCares69]

Friends house , extras were friends and all the props etc scavenged. Video made for loose change basically. Just sheer brilliance 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Valandar2]

Ren is an example of change. His song "Hi, Ren" is one everyone should hear at least once, and his style is dynamic, ever changing, and a harbinger of a new form of music.

[@dr.snuffleupagus1204]

If there was a George Orwell Animal Farm pop-up book..... this is it 😂

[@sharis9095]

I'm not sure if you noticed... but this was also a 1 take shoot. Him, some friends, and a day in Ren's mind. This is what you end up with. It would make being his neighbour a adventure.

[@ukdnbmarsh]

Whats so great is that he is putting his story into song and words instead of letting it eat him up, so fresh, so unique and so refreshing

[@matthewcollins5451]

The day in which he dropped this song was also on purpose. He dropped this the same day of the Coronation in the UK. Of the "Illegitimate King" in his verse at 8:16 of this video.

[@vegasviking86]

It'd be dope if Ren started his own music festival. Call it Ren Fair 😏

[@tedlitschauer9061]

I see what you did there

[@joannamontgomery882]

Everyone shows up at the wrong ren fair. 😂 Personally, I'd be okay with either.

It’s very heavy on the Orwellian Animal Farm and Clockwork Orange influences. TikTok will explode with the ‘dance’ in this video! ☺️ REN is a freakin’ legend.

[@justintime82jb]

We may be witnessing the metamorphosis or evolution and presentation of a new level in musical progression and presentation! Let's also not forget to acknowledge Samuel who I believe is his cameraman! Fantastic pov .. production .. timing .. color .. imagery .. contrast .. blend .... amazing!

I'm quite fond of your reaction. You're the first I've seen who's joined his mind. He says it in the introduction, quite clearly. But you're the first one I've seen that caught that line. I love it ❤ This track is fire 🔥

[@pipgalea1376]

I think the videos are meant to be watched in sequence. Starting with Hi Ren, then Sick Boi, then Illest of our time and then animal flow. They tell a story over time.. He really is freakin mind blowing

[@kathistoops1012]

Really liked your insights, made me notice some new ways of deciphering this banging song. Ever since I heard Hi Ren I have been obsessed with this young man's myriad of talents, singing, rapping, his beats, his emotions, his storytelling, he can do it all and do it just perfectly. He has been through so much in his life and he has come through with a vengeance. I hope you will continue to do a deep dive into his catalogue. I am obsessed. I hope his health continues to improve. He is the freshest, most original artist I have heard. Thanks for your review, I hope he hears it, I know he will appreciate your thoughts. 💖

[@hereward1971]

Another banger from Ren, A quick side note on "radio play" I think were at the point where just like MTV killed the radio (cue video killed the radio star) streaming platforms like Spotify, youtube, apple car play ect ect ect is becoming the platform to push your music, people want to listen to music they like on demand instantly and radio although reaching a mass market just seems to be less important these days. Great reaction, I think any reactor could make a hour long video from any Ren track and still not get into every aspect of the track LOL He was given the title of "Bard" I think "rabbit hole" would sit just as well LOL

[@shanemolloy4731]

Animal farm , the dogs pkaying poker even the red lamp is right , the swinging head from illest of our time

[@HyperBole89]

I love that both Ren and Ronnie are both open about their problems. Also, I think it’s awesome that they’re both adhd ☺️

[@anticafo]

Awesome reaction!!! I think you nailed it - Ren seems to know who he is, even though he is playing with so many different styles and genres - they 're still all him, just different aspects. SO many artists are trying to figure it out, Ren's got it!

[@seagull01-cp8pb]

Love your take on this. Great reaction. REN’s lyrics tend to be multi-layered🦇

[@samanthafenoulhet2271]

Thanks for this great analysis - it’s also worth checking out REN’s band The Big Push to hear him in a completely different style - boy can he sing!!!! He’s a fascinating person with an incredible story

[@salishseamermaid]

Totally worth reading some Orwell to get deeper into this theme. 🙂 I'd love to see your reaction to his song Blind Eyed, with Sam Tompkins. (The Music Crowns Session version has the best sound quality, but the Angry Car Park Attendant version is the most entertaining.) Ren says that after this hip hop album, he's working on an album of more traditional guitar/piano type songs.

Great reaction Mr Boyd (of course!)!❤‍🔥 I looooved the interpretation of the last scene, clever and unique! It is actually paradoxically good that you missed one important aspect of it (because you were reading the lyrics) - the writing on the wall in the first scene, which is from George Orwell's "Animal Farm". Thank to this you were more open in your analysis. Still, I would recommend watching it for the second time with "Animal Farm" in mind.

[@adam.4487]

Thank you for reacting to anything by Ren. Bisecting or dissecting Ren's brain may be too much of a challenge for normal human beings. Be careful and just use your imagination. Yes it's Animal Farm, one of my most favorite books I have read since I was 12 years old! Many other references. I would love to be inside Ren's brain, for a few minutes, is that enough time? would I come back out myself again? Will Ren's brain explain my thoughts as well as his. I feel a commonality with him that sometimes scares me but mostly excites and thrills me. One listen is not enough, I wasn't sure, my first go through, but many many listens since I am seeing the genius of Ren again. I am seeing the connections of his lyrics to other written works of art in literature. Truly amazing. Ren is amazing! I also wondered about the mind of George Orwell from some of his books. When younger not much made sense now that I am a senior citizen, a lot more makes sense from my education, reading a lot and other observations.
