RENS BAND?! SMOOOTH!! The Big Push- I Shot the Sheriff/ Road To Zion/ HipHop (REACTION)

[@TheBigPushBand]

Love this, thank you so much! It really means the world to us to see the reaction and impact our music has on others ❤

[@TheReactTwinss]

Man oh man! Thank you all so much! Watching our video and taking the time to comment and show support for us! Truly truly means so much more thank you know coming from you all❤️ Going through a bit of a rough patch in life and this just made me and us both become filled with so much positive energy and so much hope! Love you guys! And thank you for the amazing Tunes! Can’t wait to visit and hopefully see y’all live on the street playing🙏🏼😆

[@Barnes466]

You guys are all great!!! Best of luck in the future from a fellow guitarist!

[@anne-mariesoutar231]

You guy's be 🔥🔥🔥

[@MikeLyons2011]

There was a saying back in the day that "you can't fake The Funk". I'm as white as the belly of a blind cave fish but I can feel this in my soul. It is very clear that my man Ren can feel it too. Loved the reaction guys.

[@TheReactTwinss]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love that saying! And thank youuuuuy

[@andycopland3179]

Dude... white as the belly of a blind cave fish.... I'm stealing it.

[@Lulabee2024]

😂😂😂 best comment EVER ❤️❤️

[@Snowlys]

Bro chill out you don’t gotta knock yourself for being white if you real it’s gonna show. Don’t say that corny shit

[@jameskelly3764]

I am as white as you best saying ever...lol thank you

[@fangirl6115]

I AM listening to this with a glass of wine 😆🇬🇧

[@DaveyHotrod]

Me too! 😁

[@GregDaniel78]

You're wondering how Ren can sound like he's got an authentic Jamaican patois? A lot of London and South East dialect and slang has elements of Carribbean and African speech influences. Plus, Bob himself spent quite a few years at the height of his career in London, leaving his mark on UK music. And yeah, Ren... Can do anything pretty much.

[@TheReactTwinss]

I had no clue about that! That’s crazyyyyyy

[@Lozza2993]

Patois was formed from a mixture of English, Scottish, Spanish and African phrases.

[@murf493]

Right there's a massive population of people of Jamaican and Caribbean descent in the UK so if it's something you're around all the time I feel like you could pick it up pretty easily like someone from London moving to New York within a few months they could probably disguise their voice as American pretty well

[@EV4RY]

People say some have music in their bones, well Ren has a Polyphonic skeleton and everything he makes is golden ❤

[@studioborgatta3504]

He is doing a singing style from the Jazz world called "Skat" its actually pretty dope that he went there with his vocals and actually used it to transition to the next song...freaking genius actually

[@ChrisLawton66]

Road To Zion was by Damian Marley and Hip Hop was by Dead Prez "John Wick on guitar"! 😂 😂 "Dababdabab" was what's called a skat vocal. It's a jazz thing. FYI, Ren says he'll reverse any copyright strikes on his tunes.

[@angelaprzybylski1425]

Ya but the big push may be a little different. Since it's not just him

[@PeteyyPorker]

@@angelaprzybylski1425 The Big Push are independent artists, although unfortunately currently on a Hiatus. I doubt any member of the band will enforce a copyright strike

[@type1d760]

But the problem with that is that some fake account is copyright claiming all of Ren's videos/music. Some other KZbin reactors have talked about it because their channels almost got taken down even though they don't own the copyright rights. It's crazy!

[@DenTweed]

He's not freestyling, it's Dead Prez - Hip Hop. And Road to Zion is Damian Marley (son of) & Nas

[@deadassdgaf100]

nas? the covers are bob marley / damian marley / dead prez...in that order.

[@DenTweed]

@@deadassdgaf100 It's Damian Marley ft Nas - Road to Zion. Nas has co-writer credits on that track. And we know the order, it's in the title... I was commenting on their question at the end of the video and then refering to their earlier question in the video when they said they didn't know by who Road to Zion was

[@deadassdgaf100]

@@DenTweed the songs are in a certain order in title, however what i expanded on IS NOT 'in the title'. if you didn't know which song was originally which marley's or that the dead prez cover on the end was unconnected to either marley completely. 🤦🏻‍♀️ so, NO, smartass what i clarified is most definitely NOT in the title. granted, i had no knowledge of any nas connection whatsoever, so i see what you meant by stating that, but that's completely neither here nor there to this point.

[@DenTweed]

@@deadassdgaf100 Smartass? Why tf are you going off at me, I was answering the questions asked IN the video. I'm very much aware what the tracks are, thank you.

[@deadassdgaf100]

@@DenTweed "it's in the title" is incorrect, so that statement wasn't informative. if not sarcastic than what? oblivious?

[@carolebuckle7977]

Ren lives & played in Brighton . 🇬🇧🖤

[@loisbest77]

Ren says, as long as you're pulling the right guitar faces, it will sound good 😆

[@mynameisfen]

Since the 50’s the UK had an influx of Jamaican immigrants and in the 70’s a huge reggae movement started which greatly influenced British culture in general and also the music culture. A Jamaican patois was adopted by white British youths throughout the 70’s and 80’s which is along with other aspects of Jamaican identity it’s now fabric of UK culture as a whole. REN’s speaking voice has elements of that patois which makes it easier for him to sing with certain inflections - it also helps that he feels the music in his soul, as you can tell. He’s saying “with a little bit of luck we can make it through the night” - it’s a UK garage dub from the 90’s.

[@andyhernandez4539]

Yes, he reminds me of Sting on this one👍

[@weylynguerriero2265]

Ren is on a different level. You can't fake talent like this! So good love that you guys love Ren too. Thank you to my favorite reactors!

[@meme-ls7ft]

The best part of this is that you can tell they really enjoy performing and just hanging out with the crowd. 👍🔥🔥😎

[@Jarflex101]

Ren and Sam Tompkins - No Diggity /Walking on the moon and Chalk outlines!!!

[@alisonhiggins8459]

The most unique talent for some time. Rare. Troubled, talented poet, producer, rapper, producer, visionary and makes me believe in people. Hope he is well in Canada.

[@MissMeKate]

It's insane how good he is just busking. This wouldn't be out of place on a big stage at a festival, and all those people are just getting a full concert for free in the street while they do their shopping!

[@kimberlycoffey601]

It really only gets better with the other live performances.

[@Nickren0]

Just left the live... and this is a great reaction😂

[@pennytipp]

Haha, I think you guys now need to react to Hip-Hop by the Dead Prez so you can see what he was singing, not free styling. I think you’d love the original.

[@cindya9572]

Ren supports the reactors and lets you keep the revenue from his music. I saw several people say that on other channels, and he also has replied to other reactors and said that if there's a copywrite strike just contest it and it will be removed. He understands how important the reactors are to introduce more people to his music.

[@stevensmeeth117]

Ren is a talented man.

[@dylanmcgowan3932]

I can’t speak for Ren but in Britain we weee raised on reggae music as much as any other . You can hear it in Hi Ren when he really sings at the end ✌️

[@8cylinderstolife737]

Hip Hop is by Dead Prez, they put out one of the most underrated rap albums ever. You should check it out as they influenced a lot of other rappers.

[@DaveyHotrod]

They put out several. The follow up RBG: Revolutionary But Gangsta was incredible. The Hell Yeah remix with Jay Z was sick...

[@Spunky62]

Ren is SPECIAL! 😉🤷‍♀️😁❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥💯✌️

[@shanemason4031]

Y'all should check out Ren/Sam Tompkins and the performance of Earned it/a Man's World/Falling, you'll be amazed at Sam's voice,he is amazing and Ren does his thing too, Great performance 💯🔥

[@salishseamermaid]

Yes please!!

[@seanreynolds6544]

Like I said he can do it all. Very diverse.

[@kimberlycoffey601]

Loved this reaction!❤ you have to do War Pigs and Ren and Sam Tompkins doing Earned It/Man’s World/Falling. Please and thank you 🙏🏻 ❤😊

[@collinking4310]

Definitely a must!!

[@Ghost23.09]

Fabulous reaction ❤

[@sammyd8860]

Guys, I have watched so many of your Ren reactions and I just love your energy - you're loving life and you put a smile on my face every time. And I agree with you, there is absolutely NOTHING that Ren can't do. Keep smiling, keep laughing and I will be right here watching and smiling back at you

[@jasons2851]

Love he did the Dead Prez Hip Hop at the end

[@meilaw2877]

A Man's World next... Or a cover of Sting's Englishman in New York

[@zed4225]

It's Brighton, south coast of the UK. Ren's imn Canada getting treatment trying to get well enough to get back to back to what he's fire at, creating. Entertaining and dropping jaws on the floor lol G'day @ItsMrMills, hope your both going ok. Love 'The Big Push', hope when Ren tours one day, they are with him.

[@MrBluegrouse]

Good stuff, guys.

[@davideastham]

You should check out his Earned it/Mans World/ Falling with Sam Tompkins. It's awesome !!

[@Parula06]

So good! Ren is of course, spectacular, and the band is *loaded* with talent. That's called scat singing he's doing in The Road to Zion, type of beat-based syllable singing that originated in jazz. Can you imagine driving downtown and hearing this wafting around the corner from where you parked? I'd go full MacBeth, but we don't have artists this great busking on the street where I live. I wish! Love seeing you guys get so pumped by this! Edited to add: "I wasn't expecting that!" -- the universal response to listening to anything by Ren

[@Keeley-Rabbit-Hole]

Another lively fun reaction. Blind eyed next because you need to hear Sam Tompkins voice too. Ren is so good a showcasing other people’s talent. Angry car park attendant version is my favourite. But maybe you could do the original and then that one back to back. Same song but performed very differently. The big push had three front men. They can all sing. There is a live version of sweet little lady, that I really love.🐇🕳️🖤

[@mikesnyder6358]

Trenchtown Rock, a classic Bob Marley tune, might be where that 'One Good Thing About Music...' line originated. That fact that Dead Prez lifted it for their song and Ren wove it back into both Bob and Damian Marley songs, is well... so very Ren.

[@kathleenswift7979]

Watch them do Heroes, David Bowie cover, great video as well 😁

[@katrinakent1684]

6:15 if you want to witness someone who can sing good without pulling faces, check out Unchained Melody by The Righteous Brothers. Man hits the highest note without so much as an eyebrow lifting! 😉

You are correct

Ren has told reactors to not worry about the copyright on any of his songs. He assures that there will be no issue.

[@KelleyTalksAlot]

I'm so glad you did this one!! Him and Sam Tompkins doing Man's world and 2 others is phenomenal 😂😂 fire reaction!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@antonymification212]

I've so been looking forward to you two reacting to this one and you did not disappoint. Ren had commented on many channels and said not to worry about copyright claims with him, he just wants to get the music out. If you get a strike, appeal it and he'll/they approve. I didn't understand how it works as a creater, just passing on the message. Thanks and keep it up.

[@shirleycarter2231]

Guys! Been waiting for you to do this , I knew you would love it. Great reaction!! Hip Hop is by Dead Prez that was fire ❤❤

[@Tessimistic420]

Came over here, after the live nothing but 💯 fun energy. Listening to music with friends in the car. Just know real always find real. Y'all are real don't let anyone tell you different, if you want to change/try something different do it as long as you know that's what you both want to do, an you'll be fine. This is how you guys are growing fast ❤️

[@WitchyDebs]

And this is why Ren is truly unique and has no genre, other than genius, he is one of a kind! ❤

[@rudyb.]

Ren has lotsa influence from the the singer, Sting, and the 80’s band, The Police. Combine that with Roots Reggae and rap…the guy is talented/gifted w/music. Took me on a journey.

[@jenniferedwards9005]

I came from the live to watch this, it was really good reaction..I figured you'd like it. It seems there really isn't anything he can't do.. lol

[@beverleytarran2983]

Your faces so funny 🇬🇧

[@dissonancy9762]

Ren is ridiculously talented! But I associate weird faces more with playing the guitar really well than singing. If you want to see someone looking absolutely gorgeous while hitting insane notes, check out 'Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean' by Finnish band Nightwish, live in Buenos Aires, with Floor Jansen (a fellow Dutchie) singing. Although a better Nightwish song for anyone to start with might be the Wacken 2013 version of 'Ghost Love Score'. I am curious about what you guys think of that song!

[@freddyhochauf9489]

You are like Ren intensly underrated! Not so much need to find new words...just let us continue witness how you feel it and express that. Amazing! 😁

[@Danandrea919]

This is my favorite Big Push video, and like Hi Ren, I watch every reaction I find. I've seen dozens, maybe even hundreds... You two freakin' beautiful people are my favorite!! 😊 I LOVE your Ren reactions! And you have this 59 year old hippie chick laughing out loud every time!! Y'all are adorable and natural, and I'll be catching up on all your reactions. Much love! ❤

Maybe the screen recording issue is related to working memory instead of storage?

[@omnomshibob]

If you're interested the beginning of that last track was DJ Luck and MC Neat: Little Bit of Luck.

[@MikeLyons2011]

I thought he was saying "a little bit of love" but he has that BRI-ISH accent so it's easy to miss the consonants sometimes.

[@omnomshibob]

@@MikeLyons2011 yeah we love cutting letters out of words, I have to be really careful to pronounce words correctly when I'm travelling or folks literally can't understand me.

[@MikeLyons2011]

@@omnomshibob I love it, its just that words like love and luck sound a lot alike, especially in a song. I'm from Louisiana and people down here dwell on vowels (Southern drawl), sometimes to the point that its unintelligible. I find Ren's diction incredible in most of his performances and I normally have no trouble understanding him. Lots of Love and Luck to you from across the pond.

Let's Go!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@hilarycharman-2924]

Great reaction. Please check out War Pigs by The Big Push

[@Codex7777]

That vocal technique, that Ren used, is called 'scatting'. It's been around for a long time. It's been used in a lot of genres, particularly jazz. The rap in the middle of 'Hip-Hop' is, funnily enough, from 'Hip-Hop'. :)

Hell yeah! ❤😮🔥🔥🔥recommend the big push with ren sweet little lady❤

[@belsren]

Have just discovered ren and slowly going through some reactions so I can relive that moment of discovery when his sheer talent hits you. Love your reaction. Road to Zion is a song by Damian Marley, Bob Marleys song. The funny beep boppedy sounds he makes is called scat, a type of jazz singing made famous by Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald. And the the song he goes into after The Road to Zion is called With A Little Bit of Luck - it's a UK garage song from 1999 by DJ Luck and MC Neat.

[@kennethmichael5404]

An "ugly" singer is just someone who is truly emoting through their vocals. When you FEEL it, nothing else matters, including how you look as you feel it.

[@andycopland3179]

You know, as a white guy from England I can say that Bob Marley is without a doubt, one of the most influential artists to ever walk the planet. Whenever I hear Bob, I'm taken back to GA where I was smashing a girl who was a friend. It just happened; a little booger sugar, drinks and Bob... we'd go on that friends with benefits run every time that combination was involved. Great memories and great song. Rens cool too.

[@kght222]

on the intro to the song i love how he is just eating it up. just chewing up the stage and putting on the show.
