Hi Nicole brilliant reaction, thank you:) now, Money Game Part 3. Before you react to it might I make a suggestion. Ren played a game with the world. Solve puzzles get clues with a suitcase filled with cash hidden somewhere on our beautiful planet. Not worth reacting to but fun to watch as it was in the build up to when he dropped his most ambitious video to dates I won’t spoil it for you but at the end of his game/experiment he literally said it could not have gone any better. It’s somewhere on his channel and well worth a watch just to build the mood before you react to the song which I know 100% you’re going to love. I subbed for the Ren reactions but stayed for H Mack and ren and love those little surprises:)

[@simonadams8770]

Ok so thought I’d best check. Video hard to find so the tittle of it is money game: live treasure hunt. If you watch enjoy:) ps there is also someone that put together all 28 videos to this beast of a promo idea completely self funded by Ren called Ren- Money game-Live treasure Hunt by Billy Vatcher. Anyhoo little bit of fun for you there:)

[@badwolf1587]

Always love ❤️ your Ren reactions ❤💙🦋💙🦋 you bring joy to every day I see a new one 🦋💙🦋💙

[@EmmaHatter]

Please Please react to Blind Eyed MC sessions Ren and Sam Tompkins. Love your reactions and look forward to them. Thank you❤

[@ssgroen]

watch the Vibrato..... not to much. Last bit was beautifull!

[@cazzhalsall9186]

Can you imagine him getting up on stage and performing Money Game part 2 to a room full of "elites" and celebrities?! Because he did, he performed this live at the Sky Arts Awards last month, and I could not be prouder!! He's a badass 🤣 he's got a video of it on his channel! You should definitely check it out, he captivated the whole audience 💜💜

[@stuartfoster9211]

When he essentially shouted 'you mother******s' straight at them 😂😂😂😂

[@shaqibkhan4380]

That performance was literally Spine-chillingly beautiful

[@shaqibkhan4380]

@@stuartfoster9211 He knew exactly what he was doing. And he definitely took joy in doing it. He's a cheeky boy but that's why we love him so!

[@CasperLD]

​@stuartfoster9211 that was the best.

[@Marcin-o2z]

First and last? If they won't find a way to make money of him, thay will ignore him. Fortunately btw.

[@DBS6567]

i bumped into to Ren maybe 6 months ago, when i say bumped, i mean he absolutely smashed my head in, i wasn't ready, not at all, i consider myself as a guy that appreciates good good music, both of a bygone era and new, i thought i knew what good music was about. and i loved it. ....... then i watched " Hi Ren "and my mind was blown, along with my emotions, i watched it countless times. and every time i was struck the same, then i found " jenny and screech" and then "violets tale" OMFG, i have never been so emotionally disturbed by music. the lyrics, the video, the music, his ability to mix it all into an emotional roller-coaster his singing ability, his guitar playing, how much talent does one man get to own ? he is a master at what he does, i'm nearly sixty, i have never been so affected by music in all my years. Ren, i salute you sir. i never knew that music could be a kick in the bollocks, and draw actual tears,,

[@greglecig5549]

You are just an absolute joy to watch. You are so good at doing this! Money Game 3 is gonna be a hell of a ride 🎉

[@JonniPants]

That's what I came here to say, so I'll just add my +1 here. 💜

[@ricksexton8888]

I am so excited to watch your rection to Money Game part 3. :)

[@dextro3481]

I was about to write the same!

[@willmccoy]

Same. Her reactions are priceless

[@markwhitehouse9333]

Yup- MG3 will blow your mind

[@KarbonSym]

She’s not prepared for Part 3……

[@bobsmith613]

I love it when Ren makes people completely forget to analyze the music! His messages are beyond profound, and he delivers the punches that so many are afraid to throw. But the magic is how he DOES use melody and harmony to present it all in a beautifully crafted masterpiece!!!

[@ariadnepyanfar1048]

I was wondering if Nicole Maria completely unconsciously started singing along to Part 2, she was so focussed in on the song.

[@dpkast]

He's proverbially kicking the whole world in the nuts. It's like a slap in the face that the world needs for everyone to wake up and look at themselves first before judging anyone else.

[@sarahirwin8912]

Ren changed my life. Sincerely. I've been living with a debilitating mystery illness for 2 years now. I've spent a lot of time stuck in bed, in pain, "a bed where I never deep rest. A bed where I'm always depressed." But he's changed my outlook and hope for my life.

[@amye.mccormick923]

Welcome. Lots of chronically I'll folks here. Tens the ONLY KNE who helped me understand my ME/CFS JSNT MY FAULT. The disease lingers but Ren is a healing force.

[@majbrat]

I hope you find some resolution and less pain. ❤ sending love❤

[@MicheleMcAdoo]

@@sarahirwin8912 it's amazing how many times I have read that statement in Ren comments. He does change lives!! He's really here changing the whole world! ✨💖✨😊

[@Gamerone64]

Part 2 is basically the history of Shell Oil. Another part in 2 i like and many miss is the flashes of Charlie Chaplin in his speaking role of The Great Dictator. One of the better speeches ever done imo.

[@AnotherFacelessDigitalNoOne]

Huge piece of art, timeless art and still very applicable ❤

[@snihjen8470]

Fun fact: the reason Charlie and Adolf both have that mustache is because they are both WW1 veterans. Back then it was all about the fabulous mustaches, but you can't have one when you are wearing a gasmask.

[@akakiospelekanos7637]

Everyday we learn about something new!

[@a382453]

Nicole, I absolutely love your reactions. Your emotions and intelligent analysis. More Ren please :) :) Ren is so deep. Not only is he a master of his music, but the message in his art is second to none. Ren's talent carries through song after song after song. Nicole, you are still scratching the surface ... and you have many more yet to experience :) :)

[@jacks9624]

LOVE your voice, dear lady! Do not ever stop, please! And about the world being an instrument... Yes. But also, everything in this material sphere is just energy vibrating, which means that this world is also Music. How great is that?

[@NikolettaOfficial]

Just amazing! I say that all the time:)

[@robbrennan9229]

One of the greatest quotes in history is in part one. “Our opinions aren’t our own and we follow like sheep, There’s no left, no right, in the middle we sleep” . Preach Ren

[@badwolf1587]

I nearly jumped out of my seat when I saw MORE REN FROM YOU!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@johnalexbarr]

I actually sat up!!! Love these reactions

[@ariadnepyanfar1048]

I clicked so fast

[@RyanESmail]

I can’t wait for you to see Money Game 3 because opera tends to be this emotionally driven theatrical performance and that is literally perfect to describe what he does in that video

[@neilcooper2966]

I still catch myself humming this, months after hearing it last.

[@leofoxtrot]

You are gonna LOVE part 3!!

[@alanmai5656]

cant wait for part 3, best out of the 3 i think

[@michaelwalsh7359]

Nicole, these reacts and your little surprises are top notch. Not that I needed another reason to listen to these songs over and over but I find myself coming to listen on your reaction surprises just as much. I throw on my headphones and just melt away into the music! I absolutely adore what you bring to these songs and want to hear more! Do you have anything similar that’s just you singing? Anything of yours you might suggest? ❤❤❤

[@KevL_262]

I love your Ren reactions and really hope you'll go down the whole catalog.... there are so many gems to discover!

[@dillonpatterson4310]

In behind the scences Ren refers to the people with the bags as hostsges. The hostage mask. Money has blinded them, has taken them hostage and most dont realize it.

[@DakotaDogProductionsAk83]

I absolutely LOVE your Ren reactions Nicole! You don’t miss anything! Subtle melody changes, the powerful lyrics, the deep meaning, you see and hear it all 🫡💪🤘🎉

[@brettAnichols]

Your voice is enchanting! Thank you for this reaction and the very special thing that you add to it 🌟

[@wakkoedu]

Also, now you realize why Ren was making funny of himself on Hi Ren: Oh Ren we hear all before "she sell sea shells on a see shore".

[@ZephyrsLoki]

Was coming to say this!! So few people seem to notice!

[@KathyAnne28]

21:40 "i don't like" 😂 Poor Miss Nikoletta. We love you! I interpret the end as Ren showing that we hurt others from greed but we're also hurting ourselves when we do.

[@Ph4n_t0m]

You're definitely a Renegade - the 'sorry-not-sorry' shamelessly going back over the lyrics until you get it because we all know Ren hides gems in there! I love it! This is what we do we love something - we savour it! Go for it Nicole - we're here with you

[@TheMartinScott]

"He's a storyteller" - Love how you examine and give attention to the art. -I'm still amazed how everything Ren does is so good and so interesting. As you are discovering, and I can also attest, literally all of Ren's work is really good art.

[@MizCriz46]

RE: the rubber gloves - He's depicting actual torture techniques. The "everyman" participant in the money game is a prisoner being subjected to torture for his "guilt." The unexpected thwack with the rubber gloves & the loud noises of the bat - which could be used to beat him - would increase the terror of the blindfolded prisoner. The Shell Oil Co.began with the Samuel family selling rare shells in a London shop. There was an attempt to corner the market on those. "Why just shells? Sell oil as well." They obviously did expand into selling oil.

[@danguy1712]

The "torture" parts seem like a combination of Kubrick's singing in the rain beating from clockwork orange with Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs stuck in the middle with you torture scene and the "bear jew" banging the baseball bat in the cave in Inglorious Bastards

[@Lib3x]

i think of it as he said in the kujobeat song, "i love to spank the greedy"

[@iamlpinthe312]

I love the Renegades. Just saying

[@thecarterbunch]

Love your reactions to Ren. You get it. 🙂 I’m addicted to Ren reactions, but realise that I/we need to watch more of his own channel, to help him. I watch ads on his (and your) posts so they are monetised.

[@s2kkev292]

That’s the way to do it 👏

[@NikolettaOfficial]

wow thank you so much:)

[@JoRiceRenegade4Eva]

Me too 👏👏👏👍🏻🥰

[@BlessingMoon.]

Once the blind man sees the control game is up. This is why it’s time for that game to end. This is why the ending the way it does. Fantastic reaction. Thank you. 💛Blessed Be.

[@yolandescheepers7262]

I can just imagine how awesome it would be if Ren used your singing in one of his songs..❤❤ it would be amazing ❤❤

[@seth1455]

it' would be awesome if he did, loved this one today, up there with the 'Violets tale' homage very melancholic but hauntingly beautiful, thanks Nicole

[@chaozplayz4032]

I have been waiting for this video since the first reaction to ren, glad to watch this video now :D

[@Hexenkind1]

More beautiful singing with Ren: Do "I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop" with the Red Suspenders on that he did with his old band "The Big Push". You will ABSOLUTELY love it! It's a mashup of 4 songs, not just those 3.

[@GB_slacker]

And in that video you will get to meet the incredible guitarist playing the “Sack Man” in Money Game pt 1, Romain Axisa. You absolutely need to be introduced to The Big Push.

[@jaredbrookman6393]

You're such an amazing reactor! Thanks for delving so deeply into the Renverse ❤

[@mrdarengilbert3907]

I can see a Ren featuring Maria one day and I imagine it will be beyond beautiful

[@jclarke8849]

Now that would be a thing.......can't wait until Maria sees Part 3.

[@philiphalpin1997]

Absolutely, once he's over the latest downfall in his health.

[@DakotaDogProductionsAk83]

Best reactions EVER 🥇🙏🫶

[@NikolettaOfficial]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@braca977]

Great reaction. I can't wait for you to hear MG3...you'll be blown away. Also...your voice, the looks, everything is perfect about this channel.

[@Hexenkind1]

The sack man got eyes to see now. Yes. A wonderful starting point to form your own thoughts on it.

[@jimcowen5014]

I’ve been waiting for these - the shock, awe and understanding of the nursery rhyme was process. Love your reaction - can’t wait for MG3 … thank you!

[@Melly01]

I feel the self-immolation at the end of Part 1, reflects the act of the monk who self-immolated in 1963 in protest against the persecution of Buddhists by the South Vietnamese government. There are other instances of monks self-immolating, mostly done for political or religious reasons, often as a form of protest or in acts of martyrdom. It has been practiced for many centuries, especially in India, for various reasons, including jauhar, political protest, devotion, and renouncement. It feels like Ren's protest against the money game.

[@martinrobinson936]

This!

[@In_42_Space]

Loved the reaction. Can’t wait for Tuesday to see what you make of MG3.

[@Codex7777]

I hope Ren sees some of your reactions. I'm certain it would raise his spirits! :) I'm also sure that he'd love what you do after the reactions! :)

[@tfodthogtmfof7644]

He has a discord server where renegades often post links to the reaction videos. So everyone knows where to find reactions to watch (including Ren).

[@anthonyirvine1881]

My view is the man with the cover over his head. Is being told to play the guitar. Being told to stop... while blinded. Basically we do everything we're told while blind to the people who are making us do these things. Also drawing the eyes could symbolise that person finally seing the truth. And ren pouring the petrol over himself symbolic to him burning the system. Think it's open to interpretation there's many ways you could see it, I think.

[@gregschindler184]

And he's blinded by a money bag....

[@GB_slacker]

Also, it’s an homage to the self-immolating monk on the Rage Against the Machine album cover.

[@DJLast1977]

Your joy & enthusiasm are so infectious. It's impossible not to be giddy when you get excited. I've always thought of the hooded guitarist as a metaphor for the worker at the bottom of the money pyramid, forced to blindly play whenever a moneyed overlord demands it, while also hearing his own potential injury or death echoing in the bat hits, never knowing when you could lose it all. But you keep playing, because that's all there is to do when you're a resident of fear.

[@DJLast1977]

Also, your hair looks amazing today. Not that it's ever looked bad, just particularly shiny & shampoo-commercialish today.

[@frabo1000]

You are quickly becoming one of my favorite reactors! Keep them coming! ❤

[@paddythefly]

Another welcome to Ren´s rabbithole... it´s deep and beautyfull to hear and see! It is really a pleasure to watch you on the journey we all had started!

[@Hexenkind1]

Oh btw: He uses the sea shells line in "Hi Ren" at one point in the song. Reference back to part 2 of this series.

[@jameafinlay1800]

You really do have an amazing voice ❤

[@DavidPChristian2]

The blinded hero of Part One is Romain Axisa, Ren's roommate and bandmate in The Big Push. Ren commented recently that "kidnapping" his mates is a theme in his work.

[@GB_slacker]

Poor Joe Flack. He’s been “chloroformed,” thrown in a car trunk in one video and tied up/tortured by a man in a pig mask in another. Although they did tie up Ren in 2 videos, as well.😂

[@Dstinii]

@@GB_slacker Oh, don't forget what he did to Kai!!

[@GB_slacker]

@@Dstinii Yeah, but Kai got a little revenge in the same video 😉

[@mariogansbeke]

I'm sure that in 10 or 20 years from now colleges are given in uni to dissect and study Ren's texts. As they did for Shakespeare or any other great mind. And if not, they should... LOL

[@JoRiceRenegade4Eva]

1000% concur with this statement, and there’s so much more yet to come 👏👏👏🙏

[@martinnuneztrujillo2989]

21:42 its THE cutest reaction to Ren setting himself on fire... ever hahahahah

[@gregcampbell2977]

OMG your vocals on top... f$%@ing gorgeous!!

[@s2kkev292]

Right?!

[@JeffSparrow87]

Since he drew eyes on his bag. He started to see the player as a person instead of a pawn. That's why he could not burn him. He saw the way of his mistakes (or at least from the person(s) perspective he was playing), so instead, he burned himself. At least that is my take from money game part 1

[@RyanSiggelkow]

Yeah, I always felt that it was indicative of the acknowledgement of complicity--turning the mirror on himself. Instead of causing more harm to others to further excel at the ol' money game, the character decides to take himself out of the game;yet, the game is too vast and he only sees the one way out.

[@JeffSparrow87]

@@RyanSiggelkow sounds plausible as well

[@Tattoo_Shmitty]

I am here for them!

[@manuelmaniscalco255]

stunning surprise!

[@davidharrah5065]

awesome job on the accompaniment. sounded great and I an only imagine how tough that was with the format lol.

[@larka742]

The company "Shell" started with importing and selling seashells.... thats why the fuel company is called "Shell". His lyrics is a direct reference to that company..

[@bunyipdan]

Ren usually post his official lyrics and pins them in comment section of his YT videos

[@justinsanchez9333]

I really want REN to see this and all you do, this was absolutely incredible. We need to get REN and Nicole to do a song together!

[@cjonesufc]

I’m a huge Ren fan and I’ve been a fan of these types of channels for years. There are a handful I always go to (I’m sure you can guess which ones) and I’ve been commenting about a hidden gem of a live performance by a very well known group. It’s a little different for them, but it offers an incredible opportunity to see not only a vocal legend perform, but in which her sister shows off her own formidable singing chops instead of just wailing on the guitar. Heart’s cover of Led Zeppelin’s “Battle of Evermore” from their Alive in Seattle set is one of my all time favorite live performances and deserves to be seen by reactors who know something about singing.

[@cindya9572]

I wonder how many caught that Ren referenced Money Game 2 in Hi Ren: "She sells seashells on the seashore".

[@somechick3917]

Love your reactions. Hope Ren finds them, especially the ending gifts. 💙💙

[@whiskeysnow1031]

Can you please do Ren and Chinchilla, How to be me. Would really love to see that reaction. And love the ones you have done so far!!

[@TheMuckful]

Really appreciate your Ren reactions. And so happy you saved part 3 for a separate reaction. It totally deserves its own reaction!

[@andyholloway11]

This is why I hope Ren stays independent. He has the platform to say things that need to be said and the ability to articulate it better than most. Most record labels wouldn't support songs like these.

[@Shauk]

I wouldn't be mad if you collab'd on a track in the future with Ren. Cuz dang. He had some ladies sing with him on "back on 74" too

[@stebwest]

ren is one of the most talented people i have ever seen or heard, genius lyricist, master story teller, and he sounds so great with any genre of music even without music.

[@pitapita3559]

21:40 He is Saying We can each only purify ourselves of orienting towards the money game and it's service, rather than true love of lives in truth and mercy (another word for love)... he hopes we have eyes to see this now

[@Instantphojo]

Nicole Making Tuesday Great Again!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@RyanSiggelkow]

I love the rhythmic cadence in so many parts of this song, parallelling the money game just chugging along generation after generation. It's not the individuals that drive the system, it's the momentum of the system itself. Those oh-so-important individuals are just another in a long line of seashell sellers patting themselves on the back.

[@simonadams8770]

Oh my I’ve just got to the point when you finished MG pt2 and your face spoke a gazillion words without saying a thing. Priceless. I so can’t wait for part 3……… need it now, hahaha

[@LittleBallOfPurr]

Where you have it paused at 5:50 at 55 seconds into the song, it's such a visually dramatic scene, makes me want to have it as a picture on my wall, or on one of those displate things. The videography in Ren's work is always so exceptional, Sam (Samuel Perry-Falvey) is a legend to me too.

I am absolutely loving this channel. The end add ons are glorious. As for Ren, yes, i was hooked when Hi Ren came about and have sought out everything i can of his work. I am also so damned impressed by the crew he has w him. [edit - the cinematography and timing and landscapes... the does not just happen. He has a CREW alongside him] The busking... that is just raw talent...The Big Push years... but here... Ren was still early on. By $ Game 3 he had made it to #1 on the charts as an independent artist and he put that $$ earned back into his production. Better mic's, more people... this man is easily the greatest creator that I've heard in a decade. And he is so kind to his reactors. Danke, Love, for this react.
