The link below will take you to our newest SONG. It's a DABI RAP called “Dark Flames” Thank you for watching! kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYCzpHmPjJaejdk

[@rachaddle6581]

Fish n chips & smashed peas😁

[@protarget1]

Ren, was going to eat Fish and Chip, with Mushy Peas. In the bottle is Vinegar. In the UK, we can't eat Fish n' Chips without salt and vinegar 😊

[@IronRaspberry]

It’s mushy peas! Also Ren is on a very limited diet. He can’t eat foods like that. It would make him very sick.

[@cody2oo]

Ocean, hold on are also fire rap verses. More than just displaying rap speed like losing it. Ocean should have been a song that got radio play its so good.

[@tribute1965]

Both Fire! Humble as well.

[@Steven90108Runs]

Great reaction! Did you catch my favourite bar... "Pupils dilate in the dark People die late in the dark" ...?😊

[@kristinekarlson113]

As others have said, check out The Hunger (like a lightspeed journey through Hip Hop History), or Losing It (Fisher Rap Retake), in which he raps over EDM). He also has some older songs in which he raps really well (the official video for Blind Eyed - with Sam Tompkins), or Hold On, an older original song that just has a lyric video I believe. He also raps at the end of a busking session with his band (The Big Push - I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop). Amazing performance.

[@lynette.]

Thats fish and chips with mushy peas.

[@goobydoot]

Yes and he can’t eat it any more. His body wont tolerate much.

[@ammogan]

I once heard a reactor call it Chicken strips, Fries and guacamole . Hey, I'm American and I knew what it was! Oh bless 'em☺

[@jeffwilson3205]

With malt vinegar…

[@andrewf3746]

Mega tastey....I am hungry now lol. Extra salt n vinegar please hehehe

[@leeb8657]

I thought it looked a little like 2 battered sausages than a fish ... not like it matters🐖🐖 x

[@tribute1965]

You're right. Ren is a cheat code. He's not a "rapper". He's a "musician, producer, singer, songwriter, rapper". If you want to see just how deep the well is, check out Humble, How To Be Me LIVE, Money Game Pt2, and his band The Big Push Sweet Little Lady and I Shot The Sheriff/Road To Zion/Hip Hop. His cup runneth over!!!! Great reaction.

[@xchakeix]

This is my favorite song of his. I don't know if it's his best rap performance but the whole package is just killer.

[@mvlpix4419]

agreed. ren is one of the best music artists right now. but most of his tracks are not like “songs” i would put in my playlist. it’s more like a musical kinda thing, like theatre. but genesis is definitely my favorite “song” by him. next to “humble” those are for sure playlist material

[@xchakeix]

@mvlpix 44 I mean he has a ton of songs. The Tales trilogy and Hi Ren are the only performance pieces really. Everything off of his Freckled Angels album is traditional "songs" along with most of the stuff from his Demos albums.

[@iamnobody2]

illest or the hunger or fisher rap retake are his best rap performances i think, genesis is perhaps better as a SONG, much like power and what you want also don't feature as crazy rapping skills as the aforementioned, but arguably work better as songs.

[@strawhatboys]

Perfectly stated, I agree 💯

[@the4got107]

Life is funny too

[@cas9065]

Penitence gas a great flow sequence too.

[@54oddrod]

Ren absolutely goes off in the songs, "ocean" and "humble" both well worth checking out

[@Colleen998]

Nice reaction! You should check out Ren's Live Acoustic version of Genesis too. It has a totally different feeling than this one but is really good.

[@kimberlymartell4555]

Yes I enjoy all his live versions he does. I even saw the live one from Hunger

[@sykosocial]

great reaction, you've got some double audio source though. something to look at in the future

[@strawhatboys]

Dammit, I didn’t catch that until your comment. I fixed the audio for the future. Thank you and huge apologies

[@sykosocial]

@@strawhatboys no worries, just lookin' out!

[@zed4225]

I love 'The Hunger' when comes to showing off #REN'S rapping skills, or 'Losing It (Fisher retake)'. ❣️ Great react, hope your going ok #Austin👋🏼

[@anakintimbrook8840]

Good reaction :) If you haven't seen The Hunger, you really need to. Dude rapping like a madman. Also, Losing It Fisher Retake... This is an old EDM beat which has just these words "I'm losing it" and Ren added the rest. Effing amazing writing and performance. I think The Hunger and Losing It are my favorite (s).

[@strawhatboys]

I’ve actually done reactions to the hunger and losing it. I loved both of them!

[@anakintimbrook8840]

@@strawhatboys great! I will look for those reactions. Thanks! Glad you viewed/reacted!

[@bcagz9835]

@@strawhatboys “Losing it” is worth reacting to. It’s a really fun rap flex. Tons of flow switches, doubles, and different schemes in there. It’s a fun song.

[@ukdnbmarsh]

i take it you know about Rens band called The Big Push , check these guys out, so many fantastic covers, my favourite by far is the - I Shot the Sheriff / Road to Zion / Hip Hop medley

[@JimGraham-jj8fv]

I’m surprised nobody has said there is a eco from start of ren..

[@chefstar72]

It's just a great song in general. I've stopped looking for his best because I can listen and enjoy all of it so far. Even the stuff that I normally wouldn't from other artists.

[@dianeemanuel8541]

Love your reaction- enlightening food for thought. Love this track. ❤❤❤❤

[@RavenZahadoom]

If your judging it by technical showcasing, The Hunger and the Fisher rap retakes are better. But there is some great word play in this one also.

[@waynen6996]

At the start the food fish and chips and mushy peas. This to me is a chilled rap 💙💎🕊️

[@bethanyblackburn9967]

Just found ur reactions! Welcome renegade! 😂 down the rabbit hole you go😁!!!

[@ricksurratt9034]

Great reaction I enjoyed your insight

[@gavinwilson2071]

This is my favourite of Ren's hip hop stuff but Life is Funny is right up there too.

[@user-yv7zu7qv8r]

Ren has a song Heretic which is good obviously but has an anime video to it studio Ghibli style which I assume you would enjoy

[@testpattern23]

I think Losing It is his best rap track, rapping over an EDM dance track...it's a club banger.

[@Thomas.Saunders]

I like this song a lot, of course. Really liked the reaction too, and yeah - I missed the part you mentioned about the hook.

[@jondutton9394]

Loving your reaction videos bro❤. you do talk as fast as ren can rap too 😂.

[@tommoxjr]

That’s fish, chips ‘n’ mushy peas with salt and malt vinegar. Ambrosia for the masses!

[@tommoxjr]

None of which Ren can eat due to the diet he has to follow to repair the damage done by Lyme disease.

[@RedStarWhiteWolf22]

“The Hunger” for sure my favorite rap scheme of his

[@dianeemanuel8541]

Fish chips and mushy peas and he puts vinegar on it. He can’t eat it because he is on a strict anti inflammatory diet for his illness.

[@sammyd8860]

This is one of my favourite Ren tracks - it just has its own groove

[@andrewsheldon2839]

Fish and chips with mushy peas. He's applying salt and malt vinegar.

[@donald1379]

Ren is amazing....great reaction thanks

[@francesdoll4039]

Live the acoustic version even more!❤

[@PainReigns125]

Wtf I went to subscribe to you, and I'm already subscribed. how in the world did that ever happen?

[@normaleehi]

the hook always reminds me of big boi's 'kill jill'

[@strawhatboys]

Truuuuuuuu

[@natemoyer335]

Give Power and What You Want a listen. Two of my favorites from Ren

[@clairerichardson5367]

2 Battered sausages, chips and mushy peas on the plate.

[@LookDeeper]

Talking of Stevie Wonder, he also makes a reference to Django Reinhardt in The Hunger, he has a good depth of musical taste.

[@gggoldman1]

More!!!!!!!!!!

[@tomsmith1977]

The hunger is his strongest display of rap flows.

[@jynxtheturtle4454]

If you haven't done a reaction to hunger then your missin out on some crazy flow switches

[@GramadinGG]

That's mushy peas. It's a thing in the UK.

[@darlinesly9364]

I also love his Halftime Nas retake.

[@simonejarvis3753]

That's fish chips and mushy peas! It's delicious xx

[@woodywoodman2319]

Surprised you havent done his latest Bangers... Wicked Ways, Seven Sins, Loco, Sick Boi pt2, Castles made of Sand!!! His best Raps IMHO!!!

[@dogtrainerjen]

My favorite Ren rapping is Love Music Part 3. Yahoo!!!

[@user-fc3vp9yz2o]

Fish & Chips w/ Mushy Peas (there's a whole slew of jokes there), as for leaving it, he's on a very strict diet

[@Silkytoaster]

Exactly

[@cobblepott4169]

It's also a metaphor for his life. He was signed to a label and expected to go in a certain direction, but then his health had other ideas.

[@shirleycarter2231]

You want to hear all the lyrics and feel the fire, then try Genesis live acoustic…. It’s electrifying ❤

[@RiddlersLabyrinth]

Fish and Chips with Mushy peas, with a splash of vinegar. Ren is on a restrictive diet for his health, so probably couldn't eat these. Watched Genesis 3 times today already, 1 of the original and 2 reactions.

[@pirada74]

🔥🔥🔥

[@colinross2592]

Love music part 2 or 3

[@Annie_MaycoxMUA]

Also have you heard his newest one Murderer it’s 🔥

[@Michael-et9wn]

Ren, is the Man! 😮😊

[@brianito7779]

Fish and chips with mushy peas and vinegar.

[@lynette.]

Have you tried the Hunger another rap.

[@MrXyzzy99]

Ennio Macaroni in here too

[@danielcrouch7897]

If you like old school rap (beastie boys style) then check out - Ren - "what you want"

[@strawhatboys]

I do and I will!

[@markmiller897]

He's eating fish and chips with mushy peas. And probably malt vinegar shaken over the top of everything.

[@54oddrod]

Food at the beginning is, fish,chips(fries) and mushy peas

[@hermajestysminstrelcycle8207]

If you're looking for some more technical pieces, may I suggest Losin' It (Fisher Rap Retake), The Hunger and Money Game Pt. 2. If you want to get into his singing, may I suggest anything he's done with Chinchilla (Chalk Outlines, How To Be Me), Humble and Ocean.

[@therealestninja]

My favorite rap performance by Ren is The Hunger.

[@ignis86]

looks like fish n chips (fries) and maybe some avacado/guac?

[@BIGFERG32]

Its mushy peas, and he puts salt and vinegar on the chips.

[@54oddrod]

If you haven seen ocean or humble yet theyre both well worth checking out

[@jonathanohnona9191]

money games is his best chorus......

[@faolanalley3840]

Fish, chips, and mushy peas.

[@user-nu6ji7rx3b]

That's fish n chips London style with guacamole

[@tnwhitwell]

nno. it's mushy peas. video was shot in Brighton.

[@Annie_MaycoxMUA]

Seriously go listen to his live version of this it’s insane !!!!!

[@petefranchella9125]

fish n chips and mushy peas

[@EarleyDaysYet]

That’s salt & vinegar he’s adding - common on fish & chips. He’s not actually capable of eating that stuff due to his health issues.

[@sunshynff]

Hey man, great reaction, great break down, and don't mind the hate it you criticize part of the song, as long as you do it the way I've always seen you do it, when it comes from knowledge of your craft, and you never slam the artist, often you just say, I would have gone a different direction right there, or it could have been done that way...honesty will get you more true subs in the long run, stay true to you. Not sure how many requests you look over, or who's requesting, but if I know your taste in bars, which I think I do, the Ren song for you is The Hunger. Genesis is dope, no doubt, but if you're looking for 2-1/2 minutes of pure hip-hop rap flexin', The Hunger is your song. Ren switches flow easily 6-7 times, I think when he released the track it was almost like he was making a resume' to the rap world, saying "Ok, everyone keeps saying I can kind of rap, or incorporate it into my songs, but can I really rap?" Then he drops The Hunger. We're talking top tier, hang with any rapper in the game, level rapping. Enjoy. (Don't forget, he makes his own beats)

[@jeffyjoffy8700]

Fish and chips

[@gggoldman1]

Mushy peas and vinegar

[@PainReigns125]

Thems be mushy peas

[@antonyelliott667]

This my favourite of his raps but "The Hunger" is technically more impressive, not that this isn't

[@DeuceTreyz]

Headphone user here, feedback.. the audio has a weird reverb/echo btw.

[@strawhatboys]

Yea there was a weird thing with my obs, I fixed it

[@neurocide]

Those additional voice layers are not actually there. Something's wrong with your audio setup on this video. Sounds like you applied some kind of echo filter to the track.

[@TheColdrush22]

I appreciate this, but the echo dude. If you rewatched this, you understand that. So either you didn't watch your final cut or you didn't care about it.

[@traviso7810]

The food looks like fish n chips. Probably balsamic vinegar he putting on it.

[@tnwhitwell]

malt vinegar

[@woodywoodman2319]

You've barely touched his works! His older works are my favorite! Genesis is good... but no where near his most lyrical best!

[@supertuscans9512]

Hunger is better than this & by a wide margin. Losing it is also very good and is just fun.

[@Silkytoaster]

And Power is super fun and good - Hell all Ren’s music is good - I can’t find my favourite . Just have a playlist for each mood I am in.

[@DocHogan]

Maaaan...i don't know how Comments could steer you so wrong. As great as Genesis is (and it IS great), it's by far one of his weakest rap tracks imo. The Hungerr, What You Want, Money Game Part 2, Losing It Fisher Retake... all better than Genesis; lyricism, flows, production, all objectively much much better. That Genesis groove, though.... it tugs at something deep deep down

[@tribute1965]

One great thing about Ren (IMO) is not every track is about flexing. Genesis is the story of his life and how "creation" (Genesis) is in a way, his medicine. He has a similar message in Power. Another incredible song. But it's not "rappity rap".

[@DocHogan]

@@tribute1965 Definitely agree. And I *do* think that this is one of his absolute best _songs_, but that this was recommended as his "best RAP" was just a complete fail ;)

Why do so many of the guys that react to ren. Miss out on ren’s life is funny. That’s just something else.🤷🏻‍♂️

I’ll add it to the list for sure
