Ren - KUJO BEAT DOWN (Rock Artist Reaction)

[@conanlucas6183]

I love that he's not gonna cut him with a blade but with a "razor blade" pen. the pen is mightier than the sword

[@Maakzz]

Thomas Shelby and razor blades... Such a deadly combo!

[@1individeo]

That's because he says Kujo is a worm... too small to use anything other than a razor blade

[@David-k9u2v]

In the UK, the razor balde pen is a weapon. You glue a blade on each side of the pen, and the gap is so small that cuts can't heal and will leave deep scaring. Think it was maybe used in a British movie. It's technically a very subtle good double entendre and we know ren loves them 😂

[@sirseigan]

​​@@David-k9u2v Very good that you pointed that out! UK do have some really disturbing elements of reoccuring, almost ritualistic, bladework (read cutting) in their "street cultures", streching over a very long time period. From renegade "knife gangs" to "glascow smiles" and razorblade caps (and pens apparently)...

[@rich1-1872]

Wow! Well done picking that out, I never noticed that switch with Ren and kujo first time I watched it.

[@Fraxxxi]

There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.

[@christopherfreeman3442]

A comment so erudite Kvothe himself would approve.

[@rosebudremedy6252]

Oof. So good.

[@carlagroves4810]

Brilliant!! ❤😅

[@juelz5844]

you mean; the anger of a gentle ren

[@stephenwhyburn6184]

Demons run when a good man goes to war

[@christycarrigg1642]

They traded spots because it represents that Ren is tied and held hostage like his song was.

[@arianakiva]

Yes. This.

[@YeOleSkater]

Not was, Kujo is STILL holding Sick Boi hostage.

[@jasonbuckley4118]

@@YeOleSkater while the strike remains yes, Ren is taking the song down regardless to upload a new version of the Sick Boi song with a different Sample. so even if Kujo wanted to say he has it hostage; well he doesn't anymore, all he's done is put a strike on his channel.

[@YeOleSkater]

@@jasonbuckley4118... Yeah well, it gets even more interesting because aparently Kujo tried to copywrite strike Kujo Beatdown too. He even succeeded for about 30 seconds. I've seen a screenshot of the song being unavailable due to copywrite strike listing Kujo Beats as the reporting agent

[@AndaraBledin]

Per Ren's commentary during his post-premier Twitch stream, the swapping places is to recognize that Kujo probably feels like a victim, too, even though he was the one that started it all by stealing the sample.

[@sharis9095]

Scary Ren is just as amazing as compassionate Ren, naughty Ren, fun Ren... whatever the X factor is, they double dipped him.

[@JoRiceRenegade4Eva]

Quadruple dipped dare I think 🤔 🔥🔥❤️

[@SickBoiRENegade]

Double dipped 😂 I luv that!!❤ So true🫶

[@robingayle68]

I'm kinda turned on but I'm conflicted about it 😂❤

[@cmacbybs4748]

So so true, I say better think Kanye 🤷‍♀️

[@Onlooker1]

I think Rens tied up because Sick boi (the song) was restrained by Kujo but that song was Ren. It was his life story, his struggles, his image and his principles and world view

[@AidyShaw]

And to those of us that used Ren's music as help whilst we were scared and fucked in hospital, it was help. Ren said he hates that Kujo ruined that aspect of Sick Boi

[@Chegirl]

Ren's a great actor but that anger was chanelled straight from his soul. He's pissed and rightfully so. Great reaction guys! ❤

[@twistedwitchery7091]

💯🖤

REN IS EXCEEDINGLY BRILLIANT❤❤❤❤❤

[@renaynay08]

I am trying to watch as many Reactors I can just to push this on out. Ren is a master!

[@TashaBryanRENegade]

Hell yeah! With you on that. A few epic reactors I love tryna gets their subs up where I can: Obviously our boy Knox, OmeezyTheGreat LoccDWolf, Chlooeeeeox, AileenSenpai, SlashleyReacts, Doug (a composer, can't remember the channel name), SheaWhatNow RykerRoad (those lads are awesome) our big sister Rosalie Elliot

[@kazpwright]

Same. Am loving every single one!! ❤‍🔥

[@WaywordDaughter]

I watched knox and the over to yous .. I commented at the beginning Ren looks like a heart in the red jump suit, Beating powerfully with anger and stress, even his legs look like the chambers of a heart.. THEN..There is also the point when Light Ren chooses to allow Dark Ren to take the reins.. The heartbeat changes to a slower more controlled heart rate light Ren dealing with the stress of holding back dark Ren and the stress of the whole situation, suddenly he finds relief when dark Ren takes over and DR lives for this and thats a comfortable heart rate for him while dishing out the verbal preamble. The part where Ren swaps places with kujo for me represents Sick boi being held captive, but it also happens on the beat of the word NIGHTMARES, for me that symbolised Ren can control his emotions during the day however at night his sub conscious can't be controlled and sick boi is still playing on his mind in nightmares. There is so much imagery conjured up in these lyrics and the visuals. What a f**king delight to see it.

[@spiritthingw]

Ren is the greatest artist ever, no filter, fights his own battles, loves his fans and we love him!! He's the most honest artist out there. Love Ren!! He's brilliant ❤

[@AidyShaw]

The G.O.A.T. without doubt.

[@Lynxeye-Youtube]

Jesus, Mary, Joseph!.... Holy Mother of God!... It's anger, it's pure fury... but it feels so good!... And it sounds huge, free, powerful and beautiful! Once again Ren does what he does best - he makes us feel the power of feelings and, through that, he opens our minds so that we can better understand and manage what is going on around us, entangles us, but also what frees us and gives us justice and pleasure. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Ren! And thank you very much for the reaction.

[@Clashonyhesly]

Totally nailed it!!

[@spitwicked6188]

The fifth reaction video I've watch. I'm watching them all! Great reaction. On to #6.

[@johnaistrup9250]

Great reaction guys! I watched Dotta's reaction and he was fire over this video! Pleased Ren did the shout out to him. I think the creative process for Ren is cathartic for him. I wish to god I had even a percent of his creativity! As for Kujo, well I think he must be kicking himself for not taking Ren up on his offer to collaberate! Great vid!

[@Threadbow]

Dotta shout out was cool af. I hope one day for a track with Ren n Dotta

[@lillyvanpug]

Watching the reaction community dropping all these videos is warming my heart 🖤 You guys are the best

[@spiritofhonuguidanceforlife]

The choir represents the choir that kujo stole the original beat from.

[@clintgilbertson2712]

It would have been so amazing if REN brought in the actual Bulgarian choir for this song.

[@theflowerflame.]

...let's make this a number one hit ❤

[@philth8540]

The joy on your face when you react to Ren brings me back time after time. Nice one lads, this well deserved beat down was a lot to take in 😅

[@mimikannisto4418]

Ren also mentioned Jimmy and taking money from the cookie jar. Which was money game 3. The people in the white coats in the back and on the floor is the choir from sick boi. It was the choir sample that Kujo stole that caused this. So Ren will likely have to higher a choir maybe even the original choir directly for the beat remake for sick boi 2.0.

[@michelejohnk1598]

I would have a freak out if he actually gets the original choir for sick boy remake.... 😂

[@mimikannisto4418]

@@michelejohnk1598 Someone said that the choir here is the original choir. We will have to verify that claim from Ren.

[@lwsnrobert]

Crazy that the choir dies right on the word legally. More than a diss track. It's diss theatre.

[@ricksurratt9034]

Did Kendrick on him 👍🏽🐷✌🏼🥊😡

[@matildafishes9931]

Thank you for doing this reaction for Ren! You're amazing. 😊 It's sad to me that Kujo thought that pulling Ren's music down would greedily benefit him. I love how Ren turned this around. ❤

[@adammcdonald6870]

Ren 100% needs to be in a movie or a TV show.

[@020redbandita]

Ren is a father grieving for his baby. Any artist worth his salt will see his art as his babies. Kujo killed one of them. Ren going full on vigilante. 🪑🪑

[@stacy4823]

I watched the premier, but missed so much that you pointed out. I always learn from watching your reactions.

[@MegsD79]

This song has just become my favorite Ren track and before today I couldn't pick one if you put a gun to my head before this song!!!! I'm hoping that he's selling this single and it counts towards the charts! A number one would be the icing on the cake!!!! 💥💥💥💙💙💙🔥🔥🔥 PS - Kujo has listed that he has songwriter credits on Sick Boi on Beat Stars!! Knox Hill posted the receipts showing this lie on his reaction to this song/video!!

[@Courtneyp85]

Buying the Kujo Beat Down on Bandcamp tomorrow!

​@Courtneyp85 just bought it! It's $1.32 or 1£ minimum but you can contribute whatever you want to above the minimum 💙

[@ChickenWings103]

Cool how the moment when Ren turns the lights out at the end, it looks as if he lunges back towards them

[@noctuscp]

How quickly the entire reaction community got behind Ren speaks to the kind of person he is. Thank you for having his back.

[@susybetts3876]

KUJO BEAT DOWN BRILLIANT!! It’s a beautifully talented release of anger! the lyrics, the music, the production, the filmmaking. All of it is AMAZING. I love love love it. ❤️❤️❤️You have immortalised in music 😱The PAIN. 😱 that greedy grubby fingers brought to you, to me and multitudes of people in this life time.🙏🙏🙏 How dare they bring more ANGST😡 to your life. Leaving them tied up with their mouth’s taped and in the dark(click) was a fitting ending. PERFECTION ❤️❤️❤️ Love your reactions guys ❤

[@N8T1V3-5F]

6:36 yeah don't hate on Ren, he respects women and like I tell all my ladies don't go hit a man or anybody unless you expect to get hit back So this is Ren verbally hitting back

Little tipp: you can go frame by frame using "," and "." 😉

[@FischtankProductions]

How am i just finding this out. Thank you so much

[@AndreKgooner]

Are the people in the back, the choir that did the original track that was sampled and not registered. If so, that's crazy that he got them in the beatdown vid.

[@polarmoss]

So crazy how ReN made 🍋. ❤❤😂

[@BeeLZBeeb]

So much fun watching all the reactions tonight Rens use of language tickles a deep itch in my brain. 🔥 💀 The people represent the Bulgarian choir that the sample was of.

[@EMBRACEtheSHADE3]

Does anyone else want a track with Ren and Ronnie Radke??

[@jamesh2401]

It'd be interesting, but my first choice would be a collab between Ren & Jelly Roll. I think the two of them would have such meaningful stuff to put out there, two differing backgrounds with crossing experiences. Random collab would be Ren and Rocco DeLuca

[@Onlooker1]

Absolutely....can you imagine the song and the video clip with those two working together....it would be one for the history books I reckon

[@BekkaGotLost]

Hell yeah

[@juliannewman8720]

No disrespect to ren but Ronnie radke is really about that life lol.. Ronnie has some real real burning hate in him haha which makes him great

[@nicktitchner296]

The fact he used a choir both in this song and in the video is just icing on the cake, given that the choir sample in the beat he used for Sick Boi is what was the copyrighted material that Kujo stole then sold. Fucking brilliant 🤌

As with all of REN’s live versions of his classic songs I can’t choose between them because they are each great in different ways. I love the mountainous scenery and the slower pace of life where I live in Vermont now.❤

Well caught guys! I didn't notice the switch before your vid and I've watched a lot of reactions. I don't think anyone else picked it up either 👏👏👏

[@lochieplaysgames3706]

The way I see the little frame where ren is in the seat and kujo is crouched in front is that it’s the fact that kujo took “the sick boy” the song or In this little case ren the “sick boy” and used it against him because in the dms was there not a part where kujo was saying for ren to do this and that and he can have the song back???? Idk that’s how I see it let me know what you think?

[@belindadupuis7787]

[@donald1379]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥thanks guys appreciate you👍👍

[@davidperkins6752]

abuse or bullying not required. Ren is perfectly capable of taking care of business by himself! this was absolute fire. i strongly suggest that kujo walks away while he has anything at all left. given the circumstances, i highly doubt there are many who would be willing to risk working with him now. his best course of action right now would be to own his transgressions, publicly apologise and then lay low for a while until everything calms the fk down. i'm moderately confident that he won't be doing that. that would require a degree of integrity and intelligence that i believe is beyond him. i sincerely hope i'm wrong.

Hey man! Loved the reaction to Ren's song! A little tip for future reactions, when you are watching a KZbin video, you can use ( , and . ) to skip fram by frame in a video, so you don't have to spam pause or hope you catch the frame you want to see! Keep up the great work! Love from The Kingdom of Sweden!

[@rhill3575]

I hope that the choral music in the beat came from the same choir that kujo ripped off in the sick boi beat.
