Ren is Heavily Underrated | Ren- Genesis (Reaction)

I’m becoming more and more impressed with this dude with every song I hear. He is one of the most versatile artists I’ve come across in a while with a very refreshing take on music. And most importantly, he’s is himself to the fullest.

This dude is so damn good, he's got us all addicted now. He's a poet, singer, a substance mc, a chopper, a true artist 💪 just pray life gets easier for him cuz we need him here 🙏✊

[@nondetection8882]

And blowing off the ceiling With rhymes that I’m revealing Producer, poet, singer song writer with the feeling I split the wicket cricket team Im beating it like billy jean Its time for heroes libertines I stretch your minds like limousines I rip the scripture spitting quick that splits an atom spoken wit and I’m dope and gold and poking holes in MCs like a voodoo kit A brit that's lit this misfit brit that chits the chat a strategist a passionate blasphemous alchemist molding a manuscript

[@adrienne1958l]

Have you seen his acoustic version of this ? Fire !

[@zed4225]

100, absolute fire

[@Hi-SickBoiFan]

'Chalk Outlines' live with ' Chinchilla' would be a great next,there's also a few vids of them busking together that are great also

[@Acadian.FrenchFry]

Yes I can't get that song out of my head it's so beautiful

[@stephencarter9385]

It shows a different side to his talents... a real ear worm tune.

[@19Andrea78]

I agree. I sang it all day.

[@Sog8045]

I called that one out a couple times too, one of my favorite Ren tracks

[@eloerch7]

Dont cry. There's a pill for everything

[@britishbulldog3410]

Ren is a National Treasure simple.

[@davebrown9707]

Hes a world treasure. I'm convinced he's the most talented person on the planet and I mean talent of any kind

[@liambradley6718]

​@@davebrown9707he definitely arguably the most talented in multiple departments. Being able to spit bars, story tell, beatbox, play instruments... And have such a sick voice with the versatility to do Jamaican/EDM/balleds/punk... He's insane

[@tylerscott5780]

"What You Want" by Ren is freakin' awesome. Definetly check that one out.

[@nondetection8882]

Cool old school shit, really! A bit of a change of mood as well, not all of his stuff is dark.

[@BeerdedPatriot]

Shout out to the Beastie Boys

[@jimf4194]

What you want & Power by REN 👍🏻🔥🔥

[@sandratjoa9082]

Love Ren's music. "Money game 1 & 2", " Chalk Outlines' with Chinchilla live , a little blues music of Sam Tompkins & Ren - Earned it / Mans world/Falling is amazing. Well, all of them are amazing. Thanks, Cliff. Have a great day.

[@dannyboy6326]

Ren - Love music 1 2 & 3 👌

[@ryderjohnson1293]

This belongs on the radio immediately!

[@chrisrkennedy173]

I found him 2 weeks ago and I haven't listened to anything else. He is incredible. Diazipam is deep but very good.

[@BeeLZBeeb]

First genesis reaction I’ve seen where someone actually wants to pick through it. So many bits get me. The “uhuh, mmhmm” The guttural “ahah” when ren jumps up from his chair. Love every version of this track, nice reaction 👌

[@scottwatson9453]

I think it won't be very long before Ren is a household name!

[@MissMaria1969]

Thank you ❤❤❤❤

[@jw1289]

At the start where he looks like he is going to eat the chips is also part of his story. He can eat chicken and a few vegetables only. This sets the scene for his describing the rest of this reflection. Powerful.

[@jw1289]

Cliff Beats. You will find this helpful. It was written in 2016 and is still online today. Headline: “Lyme disease forces musician to give up his dream career with Sony after devastating symptoms leave him bedbound for 23 hours a day.”

[@jw1289]

Search it - exactly those words. It will answer some of your questions

[@zed4225]

It's the little nuances isn' it, a msg in every scene and verse. Ren is an enigma. I hate to compare, but he does play guitar like a God, sings like a freaking Angel, writes songs like he's Shakespeare, storytells them like he's hired by the KIng to entertain him. Rap's like he's standing next to Eminem and TechN9ne. Acts like he's an Oscar's nominee. Produces like he's Dre. Addresses all humanities issues, and with honesty, and a rawness. Jaw on the floor good. A once in every 20 years artist/band. Who can appeal to a 16 year old and an 80 year simultaneously. Incredible. And........... an artist who no-one can box or label. Peace and love fellow Ren disciple, @JW, if I was gonna join a cult, it would be Ren's, I raise my fist to the anti capitalistic pi**ed. His lyrics and bars are spot on phew. Needing a scuba tank I been so long down Ren's rabbit hole😂

[@jw1289]

@@zed4225 I have to agree. I’m a card carrying cult member myself. New track dropping on his birthday, the 29th March. He said it’s going to be a banger.

[@Tessimistic420]

🎉Congratulations 180K🎉 Here for you and #ren always ❤️

[@123mountaingirl]

Ren pins his lyrics as the first comment on his videos. If you miss anything, it’s really worth reading them, his words are always smart and poetic. Thanks Cliff!

[@daystate1694]

you should check out ren and sam tompkins blind eyes (live)

[@Comedy.tunes.battier]

Knew this one would be coming, the live acoustic version is fire

[@Comedy.tunes.battier]

Penitence, blind eye, latch🔥

[@Maverick-lk4ck]

I am thankful that we have platform's like this that allows music to be seen,cause I never would have known artists like Ren and others,cause this Ren music is a blessing, I normally don't listen to heavy accents artists, no disrespect it's because I can't follow the lyrics and that's pointless to just like a beat....But he's crisp and clear,the guy is so musically talented

[@toniyoung5131]

I was very hard of hearing since birth, I have Bluetooth hearing aids now. I just got in the habit of reading the lyrics, that habit stays with me, even though the hearing aids make words much clearer .

[@Maverick-lk4ck]

@@toniyoung5131 I am with you,I enjoy lyric videos the most,seeing it as the artist says it gives me a better understanding with what they are saying and I can follow the message/meaning of the content,hell the more lyrical artists I'll listen to a new track a few times pick up what i can then i get om here to my go to's and get all that I missed,alot of times I'll watch same song from 4 different reactors and get 4 different takes but then I'll piece shit together to get 1 final thought on that song.....sorry for the book i just replied with lol damn music will do that

[@lesliprovince7354]

Yes, Chalk Outlines and Sick Boi are 2 of my favorites. I just discovered Ren and now he is my favorite artists.

[@annanelahie4782]

Love your support for Ren brother. And your support for independent music and talent.

[@PatrioticBlues]

His entire catalog is fire! Been wearing Spotify out since I ran across Ren.

[@DonnaPoynton.]

Thanks Cliff,definitely here to follow your Ren journey ❤

[@tpatt525_Tiff_]

I LOVE the little hums in the middle of the song. Idk why, but it's my favorite part.

[@angelaevans410]

This was the first song I stumbled across of Rens a few months ago and I've been obsessed ever since with his work. I absolutely love this song.

[@jenjensage7242]

Cliff, so glad you’re taking this journey. I’m so here for it. Thank you. ✌🏻❤️😊

[@johnl3624]

Ya its soo sad but it's true he did get dropped as soon as they heard he was ill... this man is a lyrical genius and paints such vivid imagery when he tells his stories... love his music and it hits home for me on some topics and I try and share his music with anyone I know dealing with similar things in their life... listen to his music and everyone has something they can relate to in them.... props for the reaction bro and props to ren for doing what he does best 👌

[@brucew5130]

I’ve gone down the Ren rabbit hole too. This guy’s music and artistry is so captivating. Nothing mainstream comes close.

[@jamesdack3809]

Ren is insane, love the beat and the deeper meaning of genesis but money game has to be the most underrated song on the planet.

[@hazellinajane]

Dude, you are lovely. I come for the Ren reactions and always leave feeling how great it is that someone cares as much as you do

[@mrsmith6763]

Keep it going with Ren. Respect Bro' 🎯💯🎵🔥

[@jonathanshoop8554]

The flow and rhymes schemes in this are insanely 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@smack_pop7]

This is the very first song i heard from him and immediately fell in love with Ren ♥️♥️♥️

[@gabbymcclymont3563]

Ren was misdiagnosed years ago , he was bed ridden with 23hrs in bed. He was sycotic with alot of mental illness, he also had alot of general illness. 7 years after it started he was told he had been bitten by a Tick and had Lyme Disease, Ren is in Canada for special treatment possibly including operations. I'm sure we all wish him well and that the Canadian treatment helps.

[@Lou-xq9br]

I'm a Ren addict now!!! Seriously amazing 🔥

[@lillyvanpug]

Great reaction. I hope KZbin leaves you well alone at the moment. A lot of reactors are having issues with KZbin restrictions and blocking. I'm always looking forward to your reactions 🖤

[@nettinoo]

Thank you. I'm down the Ren rabbit hole too and it's great to find other people that feel the same way. I'm kind of blown away by him and have to stop myself watching too many videos because I have ADHD and I can get pretty hyper focused on things I like and then i can't actually focus on anything else! I'm dreaming about tracksuits at this point due to watching so many reactions to his music!

[@Xarah8]

This. Exactly this.

[@zed4225]

I'm spitting bars and humming beats quietly at work, as it seems Ive listened to Ren so much, Ren is imprinting on my brain, insane in the membrane hehe. No complaints here. If going to focus on something I'd go with Ren too

[@goomah35]

The HUNGER!! Have u done that one yet?? It’s crazy good! Oh I see you did!! And I watched it already! I gotta lay if the weed! 😂😂😂😂

So glad everyone is finding Ren! Cliff thanks for the reactions 🔥 as always. 🤍

need to check out 🙏🏼 Money game pt 1 and Humble 🔥💯 love the reaction 👊🏼Thx ✌🏼

[@nondetection8882]

Fire reaction and analysis as usual! I really enjoy it man, thanks a lot. Next, Ren-Power (another rap song, not part of this album he is releasing, a separate single he did 8-9 months ago I think) please.

[@helenk43]

Yay been waitin for more Ren 😊he’s amazing, I can’t get enough of his music lol.Keep em comin dude ❤xxx

[@francespitts8021]

New subscriber here really love your reactions! Power and Money game pt 2 are also great songs of his. You should also check out some of his lives - a couple of my faves are a cover of 'I shot the sheriff' with his band and blind eyed with Sam tompkins. Have a great day :)

just subscribed after watching a lot of your reviews. This man is a genius.

[@CliffBeatsOfficial]

Glad to have you! Thank you so much for the love 🙏

[@ryanmichael457]

This kid is so entertaining! I’m loving this journey

[@zackbryans4982]

I think in the last few lines of the opening "I'm put on life support, I've been put up on a higher shelf" he's talking about the people around him. A very common theme for mental health is those around you compensating for you, hence the life support, and setting high expectations for you, hence the higher shelf. I think it's supposed to be a commentary on how those things can be detrimental. Falling short of those expectations, or learning to rely on that life support too much can be just as bad as the mental health in the first place. The whole song is amazing but those two lines always hit home for me.

[@jonreed6448]

Try watching his live acoustic version of this, also try 'How to be me' live with Cinchilla it will give you a good idea of what he is capable of.

[@Technician8901]

Gotta do what went wrong part 1 and 2. They are my favorite Ren songs

[@melissawinstead8848]

Awesome reaction as always. Love this one!!😍 It seems to me Ren has one of them majestic minds. The double sides of it makes it a dangerous place at times but he is proving to be able to guide it pretty even now. Praying for his health to return to him well too! Cannot wait to see watcha got next! Peace and love always until there is no more!😊❤

[@PeteFindsObscureStuff]

Hi Cliff. Ren was signed by Sony in 2010 but became so ill he couldn't continue so they dropped him in 2011.

[@Bhodisatvas]

So so many people sleep on this track but it is insanely good, I must have listened to this hundreds of times.

[@markstanden165]

Hi Cliff so glad you’ve found Ren, amazing artist. The videos are all made in Brighton, my home town, You really need to check out chalk outlines and the tale of Jenny and screech, a trilogy, and play in order of Jenny’s tale, screech’s tale and violets tale amazing story telling

[@Colleen998]

You'll have to watch Ren's Genesis (Live acoustic) and Genesis (Drum and bass remix) videos which are also excellent!

“Pupils dilate, people die late”. Another great react 🖤

[@ChrisLawton66]

He does his own beats too. There's a great acoustic version of this. And yeah, Sony dropped him.

Absolutely, the other rap retakes are fire as well. The only thing is that he doesn't own the rights for the beats for those, have to be honest to Cliff after so much support :). I saw other reactors reacting to them though, don't know how it works. Would love to watch Cliff analyzing them of course.

He was signed by Sony when he was 18 in 2010 and dropped in 2016 due to illness.
