REN & The Big Push - I shot the sheriff- REACTION! Ren has a band!??

[@TheBigPushBand]

Big love dude! Appreciate the support ❤

[@kalanhitchens8782]

How's Ren doing? Any recent news on his health?

[@MissUnforgiven]

I used to say I would go back and watch Marley if I had a trip back to any concert in time, but that changed the day I came across your video of this day. I wish I could have been there, you played some of the most important music of my life that day. those people don’t realise what a wonderful concert they were part of that day. If you guys hook up for a reunion I want to be there!

[@Shiroar]

Ren can do whatever he puts his mind to. Sing, rap, beatbox, produce, play multiple instruments, perform and tell stories like a modern day bard. You’re just dangling your feet over the Ren rabbit hole. Come join us down here. We will squeeze together to make space 😂

[@codexdelux]

He had a comment on facebook where someone said "he should stick to being a singer" after he wrote some words about a childhood memory (haters gonna hate etc..) His reply was: I'm not a singer, i'm just a person who sings :)

[@antonymification212]

All the Love! ❤️❤️❤️

[@fearthenation8901]

Every now and then.. I come back and watch this one.. ❤❤

[@C4.Cooper]

It's funny you mentioned the regae artist option. I asked Rens permission before I sent his music to a family friend, Juma Sultan. He was Jimi Hendrix's percussionist. It also happened to be his birthday the other day, and he's still performing in his 80"s. Ren responded within a couple hours, which, to me reinforced his uncommon human connection with his fans that just seems so natural for him. After he mentioned Jimi in Hi Ren, hearing more of his music, witnessing the effect Ren has had on people regarding all of these things that separate or connect us, and his gratitude for the support in return, I thought of what Juma would always say when he talked about Jimi. He hated being called the greatest. Everyone just let him be great and make music. After Ren told me he would play Jimis records over and over while learning guitar and gave me the ok, I don't think I tried lining up a Playlist order so hard in my life before that moment! Wrote a long message to Juma trying my hardest to describe all that is Ren with all the links to his info of course and now I just saw a live performance of their band pop up today I need to send him because it's exactly what you were talking about here, covering some great songs! I'm excited to see what Juma's thoughts are. I didn't let him dive in blind like a reactor..... and I'm not throwing The Hunger at him as #1.😂 I did tell Ren I'm glad Juma's still around to hear his music today. He's an amazing person too.

[@sianradford237]

I'm a 66 year old woman who took a deep dive down the Ren rabbit hole a week ago, still down there. Don't want to surface. I've fallen in love with this young and, with rap, with everything he's created. He's a poet, actor, singer, amazing rapper, song writer and a warm, vulnerable human being. We need this guy's talent and humanity so much right now so we can connect to our own humanity. He's taken me into the chambers of my heart that echo's in places I never knew existed and I want to remain there. Moving between his genius and psychosis he is able to transform his pain into what we've become privy to in his creations.......WOW

[@patriciacloix71]

Lu et approuvé idem pour moi excellent quel génie ce jeune REN talentueux brilliant phénomènal wow wow 😱🇫🇷👏👍🙏💖

[@Clagnuts]

I'm lucky enough to have seen these guys live many times, around the streets and beach in Brighton and on stage. The energy around their performances and the diversity of genres they could adopt were something else to witness. I like to think that the original artists would have felt honoured to see their creations done such full justice and brought to younger generations. The band are on indefinite hiatus while Ren is in Canada getting medical treatment and I believe Gorran (bass) and Glenn (drums) took the opportunity to go travelling. I'm hoping that they find their way back together in future but for now at least we have Ren killing it, and both Gorran Kendall and Romain Axisa also have their own solo material on KZbin, well worth a look.

[@elinkeykramme6511]

Thank you, i Will look into this materiale also… 🇩🇰👍

[@Linusrox123]

It is telling about his level of talent that his amazing stage presence kinda falls to the bottom of the rave-comments list!

[@mattblatchley2061]

😮

[@aranstuparyk1559]

Wade in the Water/Nina Simone/Trouble So Hard by the Big Push is another incredible showcase for Ren's voice and this incredible band. They did this for years on the streets of Brighton, England.

[@firstbornunicorn1545]

This is a MUST! it's absolutely incredible!

[@pauldurrant8907]

I agree wade in the water is so good

[@pxyfox2000]

OMG I haven't even seen this anywhere...I gotta find it it must be just amazing. This boy can can do anything utterly amazing

[@tamaraorzol4456]

Omg This must be whatched 💯🔥

[@koalaofdoom]

Agreed 100%. They even had that version on spotify for the past year or so. Simply amazing. Sadly was just pulled a few weeks back, I assume due to copyright etc.

[@JennyAnton]

We DID know it! I have seen Ren busking many times and always knew he was brilliant. The world is finally catching up!

[@xztream2455]

Sorry to admit i'm a bit jealous now 😅

[@kght222]

7:10 you would be amazed at how often this type of thing happens and just doesn't get recorded. but in this case it was an actual planned concert and while it is essentially a street corner it is considered a public venue.

[@mysticeyes10000]

It’s fun to go back to your very first reactions.

[@robertsaaf1467]

When he drops into "with a little bit of luck we can make it through the night" he's covering the unamed song of this video called "A Little Bit Of Luck" by DJ Luck & MC Neat. From back in 1999. Which is so cool and completely unexpected for me!

[@adam.4487]

Ren is a chameleon and changes his voice, his tune, his music with his environment, his mood, or who he is singing with or subject of his message. ♥ He's like a box of chocolate. :))))))

[@TheColdrush22]

This might be my fav reaction of this song ever. And I am so with you on everything you said.

[@iaincphotography6051]

Had to come back and watch this again, just so much fun, go BP.

[@brianmathisinmontana]

Love your reaction: the sequence of “ok, he’s good, wait, bro, this is…I need to stop and analyze-stop singing along and pay attention and go to work-why am I dancing in my chair, followed by respect. Music is amazing when it reaches it’s potential.

[@W4ll_fl0w3r]

The Big Push is Ren at his healthiest over the last few yrs... their last concert was right before he came to Canada for treatment!!!! Right!?!? Lol I swear there is nothing this kid can't do.. lol he skats he beat boxes lol .. seriously he follows this set with war pigs!! His passion for music is an artform in and of itself lol ❤️ my guy he does Stevie wonder!!! Sings Wade in the water... everything!! Much love and mad respect ❤️❤️ BP OH lol and he can't just do it lol he does do it 😜

[@starronin4580]

Epic! From CD to worldwide viewers..and imo...its not cultural appropriation, its cultural appreciation! There's a difference

[@TheRealAb216]

Wu-Tang had so much cross over in the skating community in the 90s. Tony hawk games brought metal heads and hip hop heads and punks and skaters all together .

[@politikilter6446]

How does he sound like that? Well, England is where Reggae and SKA took off - outside of Jamaica. There was an entire generation of Brits who grew up on the fusion of Punk and SKA from the 70s and 80s! Ren is just following that trend, that never really went away.

[@belsren]

It was so good he literally made you take your hat off!

[@cas9065]

Really enjoyed your reaction in the stream and here. The Big Push are amazing. There are more amazing covers, including Manu Chao's Bongo Bong, or their own Sweet Little Lady, but you haven't even covered Ren's Raps proper, yet! Power, Genesis, The Hunger, Losing it, but also Heretic and Life is funny. And then are his duets with Chinchilla, or Humble with Eden. Their last street performance was October 22, before he got ready for Canada. I really hope you guys help him out. He cannot make the most out of this boost right now on the IV.

[@godlikemonolith]

I’ve seen them several times on the streets of Brighton. Everyone knows what they are seeing. The city is built for them. Loves them. They represent the best of Brighton and what it should represent.

[@mrgboxx]

i was watching these Ren videos years ago and thinking man, how can this massive talent just be left in the shadows. years later, a few weeks ago i see Hi Ren and was okay, its his time now.

[@emmajames4106]

The Big Push Bongo Bong! It's so good and they also do a great cover of Englishman in New York

[@annaspurlock439]

There’s so much great Big Push. Check out Bongo Bong by the big push.

[@SGI999]

Thanks for a great reaction! Bless you very much for introducing the new Ren supporters to another side of his music. The Big Push had something special going on and maybe they’ll get together again one day. The other band members are so very talented in their own right. Such a unique diversity of styles from the TBP it would freak you out really lol enough from me Keep up the great work I like your style.👏👍

[@jukeboxdave6026]

Hi my friend great reaction have a look at ren what do you want more 90s then me and I am a 67 year old great grandad love and respect from the UK 👍👍👍👍👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍

[@roberthodson]

Bruh... you CAN sing. Learning music is not a question of being blessed with a talent -- you have a voice, and with some lessons, you will sound amazing. I can tell...

[@jrbush1]

That was awesome when you realized he was covering Dead Prez.

[@julieyates405]

There is a recording of their last concert at The Dome in Brighton which shows The Big Push on a stage, somewhere on KZbin, which is brilliant. It demonstrates not just the musical talent but absolute showmanship too. They closed the roads when huge crouds gathered to watch them busk on the streets of Brighton.... The big difference was there was a full on performance from a hugely talented National Treasure.

[@dianeemanuel8541]

Every member of this band is fantastic- Ren surrounds hit with talented creative folks. They have solo work worth checking out.

[@VictoriaDuncan-mq7zu]

OMG the people there didn’t know what they were in for. HISTORY. I really love REN’s joy and how he times and encourages His band members, all of whom know the significance of this moment.

[@katemc8992]

You just have to surrender to the talent....the cap off moment😁💫💥

[@8cylinderstolife737]

Your face when he first started singing is EXACTLY how I reacted when I first heard this from Ren/The Big Push. Literally dumbfounded. Bob Marley is my favorite artist of all time, when I was a teen in the Philly area (late 80's early 90's) my tag was "Bob is God", and the fact he sounds sooo much like him is insane.

[@merileebleything-md2ju]

Thanks! I would love for you to do a busking reaction. Some popular rock and pop bands started as buskers, and their early work shows why they're so popular now. I'd love to see your reaction to: AnnenMayKantereit ( from Tom's Diner fame, and one of Ren's favorites) "Sometimes I Like to Lie" and Milky Chance "Firebird" (Cardinal Sessions) and Giant Rooks (also from Tom's Diner) "Bright Lies" (also Cardinal Sessions) Thanks in advance for your consideration. I love your reactions and your guests, providing so much insight. You have become my favorite reactionary.

[@BlackPegasusRaps]

thank you so much for the support and the super. Thank you. I will try to check another one of these recommendations out but make sure to watch our AMK Toms diners reaction here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/havIk4ypl9Z-b80

[@ObieR]

Oh damn I hope this is the one with road to Zion that’s the best version! But looking forward to it!

[@kto_66]

Amazing Street musician composer arranger talented individual... Anything he touches turns to Gold

[@maxmoore9955]

All British grew up listening to ska and Reggae, its in our blood.

[@Barnes466]

Probably the best cover of that song I've ever heard. Wow!

[@studioborgatta3504]

Screw what twitter says, good music is good music, it is a celebration, it is a tribute and it is original all at the same time. It is a Genre shift and many people in that crowd probably don't even know who Dead Prez is, so all he and the band are doing is bringing attention to the greats and will probably bring some downloads on their Spotify playlists. I am 55, I have lived through some great genre's, this is the next one happening right before our very eyes and it is beautiful, I am all in and enjoying the beauty of their art, the way they hear the past and bring it into their ears. So far what I hear is nothing but fire!

[@katarinafiebelkorn8171]

Please pray for this artist I saw a few hours ago he posted he has to go through surgery and is really being affected by his auto immune condition it is on his community tab on his KZbin page

[@glennhansen6794]

Thank you for showing this, much love. Great reaction.

[@redangel169]

The arrangement of the mash ups is just incredible.

[@teddyillusion2186]

You said it man! Like this guy just came out of no where and blew my mind. His vocals bring me to tears so much emotion in his voice. Hi Ren felt like it just bursted out of his soul and not something that had ever been rehursed

[@AndreasLudwigPhD]

So love your reactions. So authentic. Thanks so much!

[@richardgeraghty3702]

Definitely the best reaction I've seen from you dude. I had heard of Ren before but never heard his music till two weeks ago. I'm hooked like a fish on a huge hook. Ren and The Big Push are incredible. I understand that they are not playing together right now because Ren has medical issues. I sincerely hope they reform when things are better. I listen to these guys every day now with a huge smile on my face. Imagine the heights they could achieve. It's mind boggling. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@j.t.3798]

Generational talent! You can't put this man into the genre box. 🔥

[@mcmoose64]

I would love to see your reaction to Ren's (Big Push) version of Englishman in New York. This kid is FUQING amazing !

[@samgardiner771]

Absolutely loved this reaction ❤

[@adamturner8732]

BP going to a real rabbit hole with REN... good night!

[@Av3rageD4D]

Love your reactions, and just heard of Ren last week myself! Huge fan of his music already, and have definitely gone down that rabbit hole. Could you please do a reaction to Ren x Chinchilla - Chalk Outlines. Thank you, and keep up the great work with these reactions!

[@fangirl6115]

Wait until you hear him street perform with Sam Tompkins. 'Man's World ' amazing !

[@SGI999]

Such a great reaction!👏👏 I had to watch it again!I will love this particular performance forever.

[@dianesorensen2549]

You’re not wrong, his talent is next level…next several levels in fact. The Bard💯 I also think Ren in particular is completely uninhibited with how he presents. He has no fear tryiny anything new, he just goes for it.

[@DoomGoy88]

Some serious pink Floyd vibes in the opening of this one. You can hear how they influenced his style here perfectly.

[@ScottyRosencrance-dq4pj]

This is so awesome to watch you grow like you have. I think you have at least. Shit. You said you want to get to 100,000 subscribers. I know I’ve watched you 30 times and I know the rest of us renegades are on board. You know your shit and your presentation is beautiful! With the best Actually YOU ARE THE BEST REACTIONER I KNOW AND ESOECIAKLY TO REN!! Let’s go! Thank you so much. Keep them coming

[@rodb9275]

I'm so in love with Ren. This is my 2nd fav of his. Though, it could be tied with Hi Ren. SO good. By now, I've seen you introduce your friends to this. I'm finally subscribing

[@starburstppl]

I'm addicted to this performance! Amazing!!!

[@waxingmiracle]

Soo coool!

[@danalynn2404]

Ren Is Frikin Awesome. I just found him a month ago and have watched his I'm REN video 24 times already. He had a record deal with Sony 10 years ago but he go sick. He's in Canada getting care now. Hope you keep exsposing folks to this beautifully Talented young man.

[@patriciacloix71]

Un surdoué REN wow polyvalent j'écoute en boucle merci infiniment à vous pour vos très bonnes réactions cool génial je vous suit depuis la France 🎸🙏💖👍👏

[@reactivereplays5666]

Bro I gave you the link and requested this... SOO glad you did it! Back for my 3 listen. 1:52 says I was right that you cannot expect the versatility of this guy....

[@shotgon5458]

Man, this is the kind if stuff that needs to be setup on every other block when cities have these festivals. Like the strawberry festival, music festival, etc., etc. This is what sets a super cool vibe for everyone walking the streets and checking out all the vendors, etc. Gotta set a tempo and put plenty of beer stands up. Good times for sure!!

[@victsn]

Your face, instantly. 😆👌🏼Perfect reaction!

[@studioborgatta3504]

Oh, those kids in that street Know exactly what they are experiencing, look at em, the are all feeling it. Oh how I wish I was there in Brighton that day!

[@analisasmith7927]

The Big Push did their own songs too - try Watch Out - but their cover of Bongo Bong is great too! In fact there's loads of good songs!!!:)

[@MissMaria1969]

Awesome thank you ❤❤❤

[@psilocybin4109]

It is really nice to see you react to something by yourself, for yourself, before you put people on. Keep up your good work bp. Lol black pegasus, big push. BP = BP

[@mama_nez]

You gotta check out Chalk Outlines from Ren!!

[@Lou-xq9br]

#ren 🔥 outstanding everything he does

[@RB-jf5ww]

After watching your most recent videos, I went back to watch the original first watches for you. It’s soooo funny and fun to super impose your current work with this earlier stuff on ren. Lol

[@jameskelly3764]

Ren caught me off gaurd...Jesus bless this man and his talent..my favorite and its only been a month of listening

[@loganyarborough7783]

Romain Axisa is a great one to check out also, he is one of my favorites! Love your reactions as always!

[@aimeekeel]

Freaking love Ren. Glad he’s getting so much traction.

[@jimkhana007]

1:48 the face says it all 😂🤣😂

[@jadejameson5312]

More Ren MORE REN!!!! Cummon man don't make us wait! So excited to see you react

[@meilaw2877]

Ren is just magical

[@MsCheesemonster13]

This is my favourite Ren reaction ever 💛

[@SandyNoblitt]

Told you he does Regga. He is so multi talent in all feilds.

[@JackdawLifts]

Need his one with Sam Tompkins and more busking ones… some of his best

[@lisamayreed6399]

Ren and the big push....amazing!❤👍🔥🔥🔥❤

[@MrBluegrouse]

The Englishman in NY cover by Ren and The Big Push is outstanding. Seriously good.

[@lynette.]

Such a talented artist.

[@odochartaighofodonegal2351]

Our brother REN is one special dude. And everything he touches becomes Gold.

[@stevenmonte7397]

Ren has the talent to be that dude! It's starting to look like there's nothing he cant' do. Music needs him around!!! This band is TIGHT!!!

[@meilaw2877]

He deserves some recognition for ALL his talents

[@meaghanhoffmann5869]

2 weeks later i'm back here watching this reaction for a 3rd time.

[@mightyakkylex]

You need to do paint it black from the same set, it's amazing

[@belindamelville2270]

Ren...👏👏👏👏👏

[@smack_pop7]

😂😂yup that's what i said,i would give anything to see him live, hopefully one day he will step in US of A ✌️♥️

[@kronikassassin]

Oh how far we've come

[@jukeboxdave6026]

Great reaction my friend it was dope 68 years old great grandad big sir Bob Marley fan love and respect from the UK 👍👍👍👍👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍

[@cathyhetzel7692]

Genius!! ❤

[@loganyarborough7783]

If you want to see a rock cover The Big Push does WarPigs and it is outstanding! He starts off saying playing Warpigs after their last song is like getting a massage and then a kick in the face lol (He is wearing the same thing in that video also, I think it was done right after this one)

[@DukeOfTwist]

Here is that Ren playing loop pedals n covering the Beatles as requested lol "The Big Push jamming Come Together (Beatles) while Josh,Josh buys new strings! Brighton Busking"

[@abysstruthpoet]

Whats funny to me i realized after a few reaction videos i actually know u from the nyc hip-hop scene from the myspace days found out about u through final outlaw when i was a hip-hop blogger. Its crazy ive been following you for over 15 years dead ass got one your CDs somewhere now watching you do reaction videos is crazy

[@mikey-mot]

Generational talent! Undefinable talent!

[@mellanapa]

"with a little bit of dough we can make it through the night", that's what he says in the middle. Remember they buskin = need the goodwill from the people getting themselves a experience for life... Btw, have you seen what Ren can do with a bass? There's another medley/mash up with TBP where they cover Nina Simone, but that bass tho... Jeez... 🤯

[@wastefulungratfuls]

A guy with Jamaican heritage has invited him to visit and Jam anytime... He loved it

[@BasiliskGER]

Peace and love fam 🙏
