REN SMASHED THIS!!! | Pain Salesmen | PROF | REN | Rapper REACTION | COMMENTARY

[@sonicfear4472]

Prof been in the game for along time, he's similar to Ren in the sense of Lyrical ability and having his own unique vocal stylism. This was a collab that we didn't know we needed in our lives, but then Ren has a long record of pairing with other unique and equally talented artists.

[@BLIND82]

He's not on Ren's level period. He's good but Ren is spectacular in EVERYTHING

[@helenjarvis7755]

Ren is headlining a festival in the UK at the moment and deep in rehearsals He did some promo but its Profs track so that's probably why you missed this ones release

[@EydeRedman]

I think they both did their thing in the right places I loved both of their parts This is a collaboration not a rap Battle ❤ I loved it but don’t think comparing them is helpful I would love to see them do more together Let’s just support them 😊 Prof was witty and sarcastic and ren killed the rap part 11:01 ❤❤❤❤ Love those two

[@katarinafiebelkorn8171]

​@@BLIND82I disagree with you on that especially if you haven't heard profs live performances

[@rogeliobermudez532]

​@@BLIND82I respectfully disagree, I don't think any artist loves their craft more than Prof at the moment 👍🏽

[@oscarfriendsthedeatons2573]

Prof is the shit!! Ren is the shit!! What a colab! Get on some Prof sir!!

[@kerrianderson2954]

Great reaction as always 😊 even Prof said Ren murdered him on his own song 😂

[@pauzeandrewind]

He did??? Lmaooo that's funny

[@primitivedogs4638]

Bodybag Prof, haha😅

[@jesslmath33]

Prof is a fire independent artist who has so much creativity and his own style. Love him as well as Ren! Definitely should check out some more Prof, I’m here for it!! Thank you for another great reaction, I love hearing what you have to say, wise and knowledgeable ❤️

[@JoeYo77]

This is definitely one of Ren‘s best verses you hit the nail on the head with that one and how crazy is it that he dropped that verse and then half a day later the president former president gets shot? If it would’ve turned out worse, they would’ve had some CIA going up to Ren’s house. That’s crazy.

[@pauzeandrewind]

Oh damn, you right!

[@CROWreactions]

Definitely sleeping on PROF brotha. I’m a hardcore REN fan and not too far into the PROF rabbit hole. So when I heard about this Collab and was so pumped. Every song I have listened to so far of PROFs I love. LOUISIANA by Prof really hit me in the heart. You love layers and he is definitely a layered artist. Brotha REN killed his verse in this and Prof did what Prof does too. I loved it 🔥

[@helenjarvis7755]

Ren fan but Love Louisianna too

[@LoutTsu]

Everyone check out CROWreactions if you haven't!!!

[@Veeliscious]

Same

[@JonniPants]

I concur on Louisiana. Hits the feels so hard. But Pack a Lunch or Horse for fun.

[@Cunning.Stunt7]

@Crow 🫶🏼 Orb Lady here! 💋 I'm seeing you, again, for a reason. 🌟 💫 😉

[@Bearlissimo]

11:45 "Prof it" (do it Prof's way) Profit (making money) Prophet when we're in your hood... (We are telling you the way)... It's a triple for me.

[@hummingbirdstones]

This was my first exposure to Prof, too. The song is fire and Ren killed his verse. The hook hasn't left my head since it dropped. Great reaction! ❤

[@mauraleib]

Great reaction thanks ❤

[@ChrisB-k7b]

welcome to the team :)

[@annaberkley7575]

This collaboration was amazing. Prof and Ren sound so good together. Lets talk about those harmonies on the hook. Sooooo good. Prof and Ren can rap, but those harmonies were excellent also. Those boys can sannng, too.

[@louannlang7471]

Those harmonies give me chills EVERY SINGLE TIME.

[@Veeliscious]

i love how on Prof's Insta when he dropped it live, it gave Him goose bumps all over again. It was a magical colab for sure. I want More!

[@warmfuzzyfeeling]

@@Veeliscious loved that video, when Prof gets excited by his own songs he's so cute!

[@nada-8-4-2]

Prof is great hooks smooth tone, and intelligent or fun lyrics

[@steviehinton9403]

Love your reactions and the love you show Ren. You are definitely sleeping on Prof. For range I would check out Fire Lessons, Andre the Giant, High Priced Shoes, video for Lousiana, Flower Boy and Tombstones to start. They sound so good together!

[@ChrisLawton66]

One thing I've noticed about Ren is that he doesn't work with just anyone. Also, I really appreciate your breakdowns.

[@kimbrown7992]

Excellent reaction. I enjoy the intelligent conversation you present w/ each video.

[@hollyryalsgrubb1273]

Exactly this! Well said.

[@falloncj]

The hooks is pure ear candy. Ren delivers outstanding bars and his intelligence around structure to the bars just shines here. I've listened to this on a loop driving around and it's such a vibe. Love how much you enjoyed this listen and connected with it.

[@iamsquatty]

That syllable scheme from ren tho 😂💜

[@MegsD79]

I think you would like Prof and Redman Pack A Lunch. Prof does some serious songs like this one and he makes some hilarious music as well. He produces his beats, raps and sings as well. I think that's why this collab was so great. I would love an EP or Mixtape with Prof and Ren! 💙💙💙🔥🔥🔥 #FreeSickBoi

[@morecrayonsplzmcw4836]

Fire...Prof is well worth checking on.

[@joncreamer6372]

Prof - Horse

[@bkkidd2112]

Love that you understood that it is not only a commentary on modern society but also how they themselves profit off it for better or worse. Love your reactions and insights.

[@jujugar9442]

Glad you pointed that out. I’ve seen lots of reactors that didn’t even realize this was social commentary. 😮

[@francesdoll4039]

Are you aware the Ren's Sick Boi video was removed from You Tube and held for leverage to steong arm more money and new contract from Ren . After the beat producer sold him a beat with a stolen sample.! #saveSickBoi. #freeSickBoi

[@rossmitchell4352]

He should've known better being an independent artist. All Rens fault. He knows what the music industry is like. It's on him. You do your own research especially with samples. Ohh and if you wanna argue I've been a qualified sound technician since 97. And also an independent artist.

[@rossmitchell4352]

You said leverage.......you mean the original artist wants what's due.

[@francesdoll4039]

Have not seen original contract, but publisher did not pay the beat maker in my understanding. Won't argue since there are too many unknowns. Thank you for commenting from your experience.

[@rossmitchell4352]

@@francesdoll4039 you must obtain the owners of the copyright material being used, which can either be the publisher or the actual owner of the material (who still retains the copyright of their recording). Depending on the deal they struck.on release of material. It's not actually that complicated if you look into it. Ren from what i have read just took someone's word it was fine to use but did not have the owners permission. I get he isn t happy and blames a third party. But as an independent artist. Using samples is a must for checking it yourself. Yes you have a team around you to help. But so many artists including ones that are not independent have fallen foul of this ownership loophole. I feel for him. But he knows the industry and as an independent artist should have checked himself. A teachable moment. He says he has reached out to the artist. And it sounds like he does not own the copyright to his material rather than the publisher. One famous one was a track by 'The Verve' called Sweet Symphony. Sampled strings from the rolling stones track called 'The Last Times'. Their legal battle went on for over 2 decades. It took the death of the publisher to actually release through his son to credit Jagger and Richards on the song for them to actually make money. One of the biggest indy music songs there has ever been. They were initially sued mechanically which means songwriter for about £2 million pounds back in 1999. It took until 2020 i believe to release the sample. You should check out the verve track if you are not aware of it. The band literally missed out on almost 100 million pounds due to the tracks popularity. It's a difficult area but if you know what you're doing and who to get permission from then all is good. Poor display from the rolling stones although it was the publisher that owned it they were a big enough band to have stepped in and done something. It's not like they needed the royalties. Anyway you should check out the verve track. Absolute classic.

[@francesdoll4039]

@@rossmitchell4352 can Ren just delete sample and release song with a new chanr? It seems strange because only the video was removed from You Tube.

[@LoutTsu]

Big time yes to more Prof!!! There's plenty of good suggestions in here already. This was one of the very best commentaries I have heard on this song - thank you!

[@JuliaBumstead]

my go to playlist has been full of Ren and Prof for the last year! stoked to see them together!!

[@debthecpn]

Great reaction, REN and Prof we need more . ❤

[@thetalantonx]

8:36 - Yep, it's the Nas - Halftime (Retake.) Fun fact - the original runtime of Halftime is 4:20. Ren's retake? 2:10. Exactly half the time.

[@MicahPitman-mk4wd]

So happy I caught this reaction early. One of my favorite reactors. Love the original stuff you do as well.

[@chastaparker]

I really liked this track! As usual, I appreciate it even more after hearing you break it down. I will definitely be checking out more Prof - LOVED Ren's verse!

[@DusCostea-kt1dg]

REN always pure 🔥🔥 but PLEASE go try some Prof he really is a great vibe 🎵🎶🍯🤌🙏💪🐝🍀

[@jonathanbradshaw2665]

This introduced me to Prof and I've been deep diving the Prof rabbithole. Guy's a genius. Totally unique, I love his stripped back beats and his vocal style and flows are both enigmatic, sometimes comedy, *loads* of pure flex and sometimes totally heart-breaking. His melody choices are so strange but affecting. He has a load of live takes of his albums and they are total fire!

[@cherylwitter5038]

Recently found Prof and been going down the rabbit hole and love it and I already love Ren🔥❤️

[@cheetara32]

Id not heard of Prof until this dropped with Ren, now Ive gone through his back catalogue and its good! His beats remind me a bit of Missy and Timbaland but then he has great bars as well as a great voice .. I hope he comes to the UK as his tour looks awesome!

[@optimistinmyprime]

Immediately watched! I appreciate your reactions and music so much. Prof and Ren are like PBJ, didn't know I needed this collab in my life. 😅

[@Idonknowwhat]

Profs opening is amazing “prostituting my losses” in kind of saying he’s selling out his troubles by making music that tells his stories just to make money, and Ren just being there is perfect because both of them have their hype/fun songs but they also have their own emotional songs and to come together and just knock it out the park, shit if they tried to showed up at my door like the video I’d buy whatever they wanted me to

[@zgawt37]

You are definitely sleeping on Prof. Check out Tarzan, Andre the Giant, Bar Breaker, High Priced Shoes, Creek Boy, Pack A Lunch, Horse, Squad Goals his "Live from the Gallery' performance of Heaven and Fire Lessons. You right, this a true collab! Ren's scheme was dope AF and Prof had impeccable flow, this song been on repeat!

[@hollyryalsgrubb1273]

This is the reaction and analysis I've been waiting for! Keep on with the Pauze and Rewind goodness.

[@MegsD79]

Been waiting on your reaction to this one! 💙💙💙🔥🔥🔥 #FreeSickBoi

You are hands down one of my fav reaction artists out there. Thank you so much for your insights and breakdowns and appreciation for music, the soul of music

[@pauzeandrewind]

Thank you!!

[@SaumZ]

It's time to go down the Prof rabbit hole. He makes most of his own beats In his "Live from the Gallery" series, he made the art in the background. He can sing serious, or chop it up. He has the best live show in the business, bar none. Sells out every event. Just do everything on the most recent album Horse Andre the Giant Bar Breaker Lousiana - the official music video The man has it all

[@knyoung2]

Prof and Ren own my play list. Both musical geniuses forged in pain. Loved this. Gampo's and Renegade's unit. Please please go down the Prof rabbit hole.

[@lucygonzalez-zo5nz]

Absolutely love your breakdowns. Thank you sir!

[@louannlang7471]

Prof w/ Redman Pack a Lunch and ANYTHING on his album Horse is 💥💥 or ANY of his LIVE RECORDINGS. I'm pretty sure you're gonna dig Prof. Fantastic reaction from you once again. You never disappoint.

[@katstephenson8493]

I love the 'FISHER' at the end...Great reaction 🇬🇧☮️

[@Veeliscious]

Nice excitable reaction. I like the distinction you drew between a "collaboration" and a "feature". Ren introduced me to Prof a year ago and literally Prof & Ren are all I play now - they both cover every mood & flavour I need covered. I literally can't stop playing this one though, its absolutely fire and that beat Prof made is Dope AF. Definitely check out & react to more Prof. Creek Boy, Tough Boy, Squad Goals, High Priced Shoes, Tombstones, Louisianna. I could go on and on - he too has an over 10 year back catalogue for you to work your way through

[@kinseyclose4968]

Dive in the prof catalog, TRUST ME ❤

[@veronicaleontin9701]

Yes, to this reaction! My type of thinking as well!

[@hannaftw3684]

I mean holy frick this was the collab I didn't know I could have but jeez it's amazing. I remember Ren doing a video I think it was after hitting 1 million subs or getting that number 1 where he spoke of the responsibilities of having fame or an audience. If people are unclear about Ren having a bloody idea about what it means to have an audience and selling his pain, and how he knows how it is complicated that he is using the shizzle from his darkest times that make people notice him and gave him success. Like he is very clear with in money game one through three he knows very well how he is a part of the money game. Jeebus this is amazingly good.

[@Jadedxx]

Prof ft Redman Pack a Lunch is fire. So is andre the great. Hes so different from other rappers and his vibe is a bop 🔥🤟

[@jess_Bond]

Prof is definitely one of the best out thetr right now❤❤❤

[@PBaka13]

It dropped the same day as The Death of Slim Shady so it kind of got missed by a lot of people i think.

[@Veeliscious]

Yeah such a shame it got overshadowed. Even none the big Avengers Reactors have got round to it yet

[@robert_5974]

Ren killed it and this collab was amazing! I'm looking forward to more from them. I hope we get a little EP project or something

Don’t sleep on PROF! Dude is 🔥🔥🔥

[@petecabrina]

I think that bar is one of his best too and because I can so relate, the end part 'a pain in the anus, my homeostasis is waking up wasted' is also so apt for the tech life as well and what it can do to people's health and mental health, metaphor and very literal for someone with the health issues he has had too. But of course the part about social media is so apt for our times too.

[@TottoHolm]

Typical of Prof to raise his collabs levels 🔥 Please react more to Prof. Some suggestions: Time Bomb, Andre The Giant, Flower Boy, Horse, Fire Lessons, Pack A Lunch ft. Redman, Gampo, Devil's Gate ft. Kevin Gates, Squad Goals, Animal Patrol, Creek Boy, Poor Me, Lousiana, Judy, High Priced Shoes, Cutthroat, Tarzan, Bar Breaker, and the list goes on. Take a pick, they are all amazing songs😂 Personal favorites: 1. Flower Boy. 2. Pack A Lunch. 3. Fire Lessons. 4. Time Bomb. 5. Andre The Giant.

I had no idea about this track. Love Ren. Gonna have to check out Prof.

[@Timberfalls]

Sleeping on Prof. He has 3 styles of rap either soulful and melodic rap/ fun comedy rap/ hardcore bangers. Check out Prof - Louisiana, Prof - pack a lunch, Prof - Fire lessons. This would be a good range of what he does. Very fire artist worth going through.

[@kali9850]

I'm new to Prof but LOVING his music. I would recommend Fire Lessons, High Priced Shoes (personally, I like the live one because he's funny), Pack a Lunch, Louisiana, Soupy... and just most of the Horse album, really.

[@kali9850]

Actually, the music video for High Priced Shoes is pretty funny too.

[@pauzeandrewind]

[@FloydPepper1975]

Totally agree about this being one of his best verses. Can't stop listening to it. For me, it's probably in second place, just behind his second verse on Genesis. Great reaction, btw.

[@Suziejouk-zj6eo]

Great reaction ❤

[@Emilie-one]

Definitely don’t sleep on Prof. I was for a long time but found him when I heard there would be a collab with Ren, who is my favorite . Prof he is fire. Check out Andre the giant, high priced shoes, pack a lunch, horse for fun tracks. For some serious ones check out Louisiana( talking about the George Floyd riots in 2020) and Flower boy( live) . He is unique.

[@stranger2Utube]

Great analysis as always! ❤ While I'm not super knowledgeable about Prof yet, I can say this 1. He's awesome 2. He has a lot of fun / funny songs that are almost parodies of so many rappers' fakeness (i.e. "pack a lunch" instead of "pack a punch" lol) 3. When he gets serious it hits deep. You should definitely see "Luisiana" (music video) and "Flower Boy" (live version)

[@dmasters1970]

[@rveino2978]

Great reaction this song is about the big farma peace

[@Lift_Eachother_Up]

❤ Another great reaction. You sparked a question in my mind and I tried to find research about it specifically I found random opinion articles etc. so it would be interesting to put together a large study not on the effects of violence in media but the effects of kindness in media and see results in people's behavior and thinking. It has been studied that kindness is spread extremely easy because of the good feelings you get from receiving and giving. It sounds like a no brainer that if the governments of the world and "free media" try and only push this kindness the world would have enormous positive changes. I mean maybe that's part of the answer on how do we as a society stop the hatred and aggression instead of currently making it worse.

[@pauzeandrewind]

Love the thinking here! 💯

[@gggoldman1]

You have to dive into Prof. one of the best independents out there.

[@Shiroar]

I didn’t know Prof before this either, but it speaks volumes to want Ren on his track. Well apparently he originally had someone else in mind for the feature, but I can’t imagine anyone doing a better job at it. Technically it is just a feature, not a collaboration, but it’s clear that Ren really understood the concept and came up with ideas that fit perfectly. So much that it feels more like a collaboration. And made Prof swear at him for killing it like that on his track 😂 I guess that’s always the risk if you ask Ren to do a feature, but I still hope more do so he can spread his magic ✨

[@Veeliscious]

I loved watching that Live he did - I keep revisiting it on the Ren Not Ren channel - makes me giggle every time
