Renaissance Man Reaction to Ren - Money Game Pt 2 (Official Lyric Video) Why do I look so happy?

[@natb5187]

Why do people get so annoyed when reactors actually react lol? Pausing and commenting is just part of the experience. Also, its not like many of the viewers haven't seen the video already. Keep doing what you're doing.

[@JonniPants]

For seriously. It boggles.

[@Codex7777]

Why do people love to virtue signal? It's a mystery... ;) :) Most people are fine with pausing, as long as it isn't incessant and as long as it's accompanied by a rewind. The issue isn't so much with the audience, as with the reactor. It can be frustrating seeing a reactor miss out on a really good moment, lyric, transition or emotional build. You want them experience all those things! :) Luckily, this reactor doesn't tend to pause excessively and he nearly always rewinds. :)

[@walk_in_solo1543]

100% I would assume majority, if not all have already heard the song in it's entirety. I love watching reactions to see if people think the same as me, or notice things/interpret things differently. The beauty of music. My only peeve is when they dont rewind a few seconds before resuming the video.

[@lisas6388]

Right!

[@brandymoran9646]

Right? I get bored when they just watch the video through and spend 5 minutes commenting. I can watch it through on my own.

Charles Arthur Salvador (aka Charles Bronson) Britain's most notorious Prisoner

[@Ph4n_t0m]

That nursery-rhyme break-down is what Ren was refering to when he mocks himself in Hi Ren "she sells sea shells"... kind of an easter egg (kind of)

[@CabinFever52]

Probably also a reference to Shell Oil Company getting its start by selling sea shells.

[@krikat3485]

Possible reason for smaller views right now is that Ren is headlining the Saturday night show at the Secret Garden Party in Huntington this weekend. All attention is there, right now, as it is REN’s first ‘solo’ show in 4 or 5 years. Thanks for your excellent reaction, though. I am sure you will gain an audience from all the Renegades in the very near future.

[@MrKdux007]

Thanks for the great reactions. I'm a 55yo Canadian. I did a lot of audio and visual production in the 80's to the 2000's. I'd just like to point out a couple of things I've picked up that have impressed the hell out of me. In his early videos Ren was operating on a shoestring. In an interview about Jenny's tale and Screeches tale he mentions the video was recorded on a phone. The Lav mic used in his early videos was actually quite cheap. A large percentage of Post-production was spent cleaning it up. (what we would call in analog days "riding the pots"). One of the first videos he did after he actually had some money to play with was Money Game 3. I was really interested/worried how having a budget would change the style and inventiveness forced on him earlier. I'm guessing the $$ spent on the camera rig for MG3 was probably more than any 10 of his previous videos. Although the technical quality definitely went way up, his approach still seemed to be "use the tech to realize the vision" not splash out on flashy that looked cool but obscured the story. In another interview Ren said that the major difference for him was not having to spend tedious days fixing problems caused by cheap equipment. Thanks again

Ren is deliberate about almost everything he does. Spelling, however, is not one of them! Even his best-produced lyric videos often have typos.

❤❤ I see you added/made a white edition of your sculpture for your collection! Very impressive. "Ren is INSPIRING" YES my dear friend he is. In so many types of ways to so many types of ppl. He loves to inspire others and loves when others inspire others. His motto " A rising tide lifts all ships". There are a couple things that came to mind during your reaction and previous ones that I feel like you should really check out. First I thinks it's absolutely a MUST for you to watch and react to his 1 million subscriber video : defining success. Secondly Rens Fred Again Mashup. Since you like his rain, rain, rain. Fred again mashup is in my top 3 favorite Ren songs. It talks to my soul. 😊

Even though I watched this over a year ago, I still enjoy seeing you see it for the first time. Anyone who appreciates Ren, I am here. You have so..much music ahead on this Ren adventure. Newest one he had is a collab with Prof, "Pain Salesman". His newest solo, "Troubles" are excellent. Maybe mix in some new Ren, I love it all, and new fans are finding Ren daily.

It's the UK prisoner Bronson

[@goaty1964]

It's the real story of Shell Oil..

[@Punatik]

The Bronson reference is about the 2008 movie with the same name. It’s about a British criminal and bare knuckle fighter. “Hit ‘em like Bronson.”

[@LB3_tx]

I thought Richard Branson the marketing genius and billionaire magistrate of the Virgin Group.

[@TheMartinScott]

Ha, I was going to emphasize the inspirational aspect of Ren, which you also highlighted in your editor notes. Ren's music and art offer much to draw from for direct inspiration. He inspires people to reach for the stars while inspiring them to be comfortable with being human. Finding peace (balance) in this dichotomy inspires joy, humility, and the ability to laugh at the absurdity of the human condition. P.S. After listening to "Night after Night," I can see your love of art runs deep as a creator. It also suggests you will enjoy going back to Ren's early work and enjoying the entire journey. Thanks again for sharing your time and thoughts with us. I've enjoyed it.

[@QueenMisteltoe]

For me - personally - I prefer the pauses and analysis. It’s not like I haven’t heard the whole song 100000 times before 😅 I enjoy your reactions - you do you 🎶

[@PoliticallyPink]

You've got a great blueprint for tackling Ren. I have one suggestion: instead of Chalk Outlines, do How To Be Me with Chinchilla. Of course you'll want to check out some Chinchilla solo, too! Also, don't miss out on some originals from The Big Push: Radio, All My Heroes, Watch Out, Precious. Looking forward to all of it!

[@5siggi]

I love that you are getting inspiration from Ren. You're a talented man! I see those beautiful sculptures behind you. The "Rain Rain Rain" part really caught my attention too. I love R&B and the Blues along with many other genres but some of my favorite songs by Ren and The Big Push, go along that genre. I love...The Big Push - What Kind Of Woman Is This live, covering Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters and Jimi Hendrix. Another one is The Big Push - Praise You ( Fatboy Slim Cover ) and of course, The Big Push, War Pigs (Black Sabbath Cover). The number one Big Push recommendation is The Big Push - I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop Also an excellent choice. The Big Push - Sweet Little Lady (live acoustic) I believe it's one of their originals if I'm not mistaken. I better stop before I list their whole catalog. I forgot to mention some Ren songs. Ren - Hold On (Official), Dominoes (great message in that song), What You Want (Beastie Boys style) Ok, I'll stop now 😉

"sell oil as well": In the 19th century a British businessman began selling novelty music-boxes with inlaid exotic sea-shells. When he died his sons took over and expanded into trading oil. They kept a seashell as the logo of their company.

[@VideosbyLisaLisa]

Glad you liked it. Look forward to MG3. (I think you may like the live version of "Chalk Outlines," which is the one-take video (versus the studio recording, which has an animated (lyric?) video). Both are good, but the live performance is so emotive).

[@francescavandaele985]

Oh absolutely do the live version

[@karenrivera1369]

"Hit 'em like Bronson" is referenced by the video clip of actor, Tom Hardy who portrays British criminal Charles Bronson in the movie "Bronson". kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppLEap6krq9-qNUsi=inYg7Vfln_dfYZNd Also, its well known that all artists take inspiration from other artists. Ive heard many reactors, who are varying artists themselves (singers, rappers, writer, cinematographers), also comment (after watching several Ren videos) that they have been inspired by Ren to try something different in their next piece of work. I thinknRen would be humbly, proud to know this! Enjoying your reactions!

[@mrsainsburys1]

Great reaction, I’m here for a reaction/insight so thank you 🙏🐊❤️🦉👍

[@lucygonzalez-zo5nz]

I believe Ren uses an old television set on the video purposefully. Because television is used to basically brain wash us with advertisements, news, ect… It is well known that watching television can cause brain waves to slow down, leading to a pattern of alpha and delta brain waves which is a hypnosis kinda state. Ren is very intentional. I know this was your first listen and watch. But if you watch a second time and look at the images he used behind the text you’ll see exactly how powerful the video actually is. Basically he is using the money game’s own technology in a way of exposing the money game itself. Not sure if all that made sense🤪 Thank you, great reaction.

[@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl]

While editing I actually see the video again a couple of times. I peripherally noticed many of the images as I was reading but paid more attention later.

[@steveherman6909]

I have to agree with some of the other comments here regarding being a reactor. I'm personally not a fan of the ooh and ahh types out there, unless it's a one off on a piece that leaves them speechless. As music comes to us in many different forms, so does the way folks hear and perceive a song. Some do vocal analysis, others deep dive into lyrical content. You do you Ken, as with The Warning and many other bands covered on your channel, the musical and production choices a band or artist makes is why I have enjoyed your reactions. Since your own discovery of Ren and his very thoughtful arrangements, you reinforce why many of us appreciate the man, pointing out subtleties of the music that keep us engaged in the delivery of his lyrical messages.

[@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl]

Thank you for the comment AND the support. It is appreciated.

Hi Ken, I found your reactions today. I found Ren via tiktok, followed for a while. My son is the youtube user..never really used it much. I heard abot s8ck boi and as a Chronic pain patient with adhd and cptsd it appealed to me. Then i found the music. Its only now im seeing the videos, then i found the reaction community (thinking , why would so many people watch people watching) oh I wasnt ready! There are Ren groups on fb and i found the International art group and those people are so lovely. Ren is my kind of guy, can be childish but is emotionally aware and mature.

Thanks for the solid view! I appreciate you taking the time. And pause all you want. Though I sometimes think that the people who are looking for someone to just watch and not comment are really just looking for someone to experience the music with. I remember in my youth I'd get around with my buddies from school and listen to the latest NIN album, or when Possum Kingdom came out we'd just chill in a room and listen to that on repeat. The internet has created a wonderful ability to socialize with people, but many things we might do together if we were in person don't have adequate proxies in this new socialization medium. It's a thinker.

He has been producing beats since he was 12 and with his creativity it is always very interesting. You will see… Ren gave us a little history lesson in Money Game part one and here’s the economics class. It takes a very clever and flexible mind to break down a complex topic in a way that everyone can understand it. To then do it using a well known nursery rhyme? And in the form of rap?

[@lisabradley10070]

Bit late finding this reaction. The line 'hit 'em like Bronson' refers to a notorious UK prisoner, the video actually features an image of him as portrayed in the film (Bronson) by Tom Hardy. As per Wikipedia Charles Arthur Salvador (born Michael Gordon Peterson; 6 December 1952; formerly known as Charles Ali Ahmed) better known by his professional name of Charles Bronson First arrested as a petty criminal, he was convicted and sentenced in 1974 to seven years' imprisonment for armed robbery. Further sentences were imposed because of attacks on prisoners and guards. Upon his release in 1987, he began a bare-knuckle boxing career in the East End of London. His promoter thought he needed a more suitable name and suggested he change it to Charles Bronson, after the American actor. He was returned to prison in 1988 on conviction concerning another robbery. He is a violent prisoner, and has taken numerous hostages in the course of confrontations with guards, resulting in sentences of life imprisonment. He has been held at times in each of England's three special psychiatric hospitals.

ADHD and spelling mistakes go hand in hand. Brain is so far ahead of the fingers that mistakes happen and then when we read over things, our brains know what we said so it sort of just overlooks the mistakes (unless we did something REALLY weird... I've got a bad habit of writing the first few letters of one word and the other half will be part of the next word! Those usually stick out as being WRONG, but less glaring mistakes get missed)

[@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl]

All too familiar as my ex-wife had adult adhd and was prone to those things as well.

[@ratmackay]

@@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl just for clarification...a couple of things. 1) Ren is an ADHDer so I wasn't just applying my own experience for no reason there and 2) there's really no such thing as "adult ADHD". While someone might not get diagnosed until adulthood, they always had it. Especially in women (and women of a certain age), ADHD and Autism went un/underdiagnosed due to the pervasive opinion that they were almost exclusively conditions that young boys had. Most of the models set up around them didn't even take women and girls into consideration and they often present differently...but you don't develop either condition later in life, just the presentation may change and become more noticeable leading to a diagnosis. (Not saying that you didn't know any/all of that...but I don't want anyone who might see it to get the wrong idea about what ADHD is and think that you can "catch" it later!)

[@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl]

Adult ADHD is just what the therapist who diagnosed her called it. Didn't make sense to me either but I was just saying what she said. Clarification and passing on of knowledge is never a bad thing and I wish more people did so so we would all learn more rather than let people continue to say things mistakenly.

If you get too much flack for pausing too much, with the shorter videos, you could compromise by watching it through without any pausing for a flowing reaction then play it again Sam for analysis which I'm sure we'll stay for. I've seen other reactors do this with much success and appreciation You're welcome 😊

And when you do pause for a chat, it's very good that you rewind, allowing flow 👍

Diamonds in particular are an egregious case of the ills of Capitalism. DeBeers holds vast amounts of diamonds in reserve to keep the price up. And they mark them so that you know they're actual mined diamonds and try to sell the idea of mined diamonds being better than created ones, despite the fact that created diamonds are superior in every possible way. And they'd be even better, yet, if DeBeers didn't actively fight against the technology improving just to protect their investement.

Too true. If I was with a woman that insisted on real diamonds at an exorbitant cost rather than a synthetic that looks exactly the same, I would have doubts she has her priorities straight since I am not rich.

@@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl My first husband gave me a ring with a diamond, but only because he'd bought it for a prior relationship that didn't last. My now husband and I don't even _have_ rings. 😸

I cant wait for you to react to money game part 3. And not keen on the 1st money game but i love 2&3. I also cant wait for you to react to the big push. I gotta be honest, it doesn't bother me that you pause it but please please please don't do it so much with the 3rd money game because it loses the actual story. You'll understand what i mean when you watch/listen to it. I REALLY hope you take note of that what I'm saying. I'd appreciate it more than you will ever know! Also please please please react the beautiful song and video - the big push - precious official video ❤❤❤

[@ige-individualgroupeffort-kenl]

I can't promise anything but I will see how it goes. A couple of people have said that so I will try.
