Y'allternative FIRST EVER REACTION To REN - Money Game Part 3

[@kennethmichael5404]

Ren wrote all of the music for this including the orchestral parts (as well as the story itself) He said he practiced quite a bit to get the piano intro right. He also said that this isn't precisely a one take, it has a single cut in it, but it had to due to some logistics and time constraints. He explained it all in his Twitch live stream after the video dropped. He's really proud of this one, and should be. It's another great example of Ren's pure musical ARTISTRY. (btw- the gun was a replica, incapable of firing, so rest easy) The greatest sculptures in history were created slowly, persistently, over a long period of time, one small chip at a time. Chip, chip, chipping away. Ren's illness is the marble, his musical artistry is the chisel...and look at the masterpieces he's now created. A modern day musical Michaelangelo forged through fire....and the world is better for it.

[@im2yz4u17]

You don't want to watch this again. I keep watching it like a train wreck. However, it is not a wreck, it is a pure work of art yet again. The message of the story is about the evils of money and the grab for power. It turns humans into monsters. Ren brings this out in vivid colors.

[@Codex7777]

He's an artistic genius! The poetry, the wordplay, the intelligence, the piano playing, the acting, the LIVE performance. What it took to do this live, with so many variables! All from Ren's imagination and executed brilliantly by Ren and Sam (his friend and co-director). There's so much beauty and truth in this piece, that I think it's tragic that you're never going to watch it again, just because you found parts of it 'uncomfortable'. It's not meant to be comfortable. It's shining a light on real-life. This is not Disney. If you shy away from this, you may as well shy away from real-life, because real-life isn't easy or comfortable either. You CAN stay in a bubble but no bubble lasts forever. It will burst eventually and the only thing you will have gained is... zero preparation for when the shit really hits the fan.

[@justinatest9456]

It's worth another watch just to appreciate the story telling. And another one to appreciate the amazing camera work. And another just to pay attention to Ren's acting, which he is nailing while also delivering all those lyrics live in one take (there's one edit in the wheelchair). Also, the piano and strings are played live. The whole thing's a literal masterpiece.

[@BaronRice-ib4ms]

Love Ren, and really enjoy watching your reactions to his music.

[@davidricks7128]

Ren's Sick Boi album has just hit number 1 in the UK album charts

[@mysteriousfigure3808]

Seems like all you've seen of Ren is the heavy stuff so if you want a bit of a switch up and some good vibes from him, check out his song "Power", or "Fire", or "Loosing it", or "Humble"... but you should definitely not miss his "Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full version)" - it's still heavy topics, but done with such mastery of the storytelling craft you feel like you lived through a movie and were in it.

[@markchasse8992]

A short movie. But the piano and strings are dope and can't get enough.

[@markuss7249]

The whole intention gets more clear, and would have been more understandable, if you had watched Money Game 1 and 2. (the music video with the 9 million views). So this really is like a movie. A piece of art. Little detail: while playing the piano, he still had that money bag tied on his head, and then when he realized in front of the mirror, that he was hidden, he freed himself, got conscience (The red pill effect/Matrix) and entered the real world

[@manuelper]

It's pretty easy to understand, it's a pretty linear and clear story. It's great, as are the other two parts, but you don't need to see P1&2 to 'get it'.

[@hazmania]

@@manuelpersadly some "reactors" lack the IQ to understand anything conceptual. Not meaning to be cruel, just stating a fact. Think this is one such time. Watching how she couldnt sit still, constantly fidgeting, means she was never really paying attention. She's no one I'll bother with again. I'm sure it's mutual.

[@mikegandalf]

You in no way need to watch the other parts to understand this.

[@twistedpixel756]

@@mikegandalf the story is the lyrics, particularly the chorus, of the other two. For example, "Poison in the veins" became Jimmy's drug use.

[@dawnpatterson8708]

I think that this is a generalized character. He said that he was trying to blur the lines between music and film. THAT he did. This amazing MASTERPIECE, hit 1 MILLION VIEWS in just 3 days.

[@Sobergirl_]

14:04 I will be honest… I jam out to Money Game Part 1 & 2 a lot. They have a different vibe than Part 3. The third one kinda goes more with the first one as far as video theme.

[@Turntablist_Mk2]

When Ren makes these "songs" i think the intention is to deliver the message, not to become a playlist song. He has plenty of playlist songs but this is an entire package that requires the video for full impact. He is a visionary, it's just how his mind works.

[@peterveste6976]

this is art at its finest masterpiece, have just listen to his album and the first track seven sins is amazing hopefully be Number 1 in the UK this Friday thank you for continuing to react and support my favourite artist ever ❤❤❤

[@RenxChilla]

'For Joe' is a live song Ren plays keyboard on,pretty heavy though but beautiful also.'Losing It' or 'What you Want' if you fancy seeing his fun side

[@D3LTA_39]

Another deep and powerful song by REN! He is such an amazing storyteller in his art! And that piano at the beginning? LOVE LOVE LOVE! MY GOD! If only someone else would put out some more piano updates! 🙃

[@jasonhannon2386]

A very talented educational philosopher of present times at its deepest💯❤️😎

[@djtidy01]

One small cut in the whole video, when ren sits down in the wheelchair 1st time Sick boi was released last Friday with 4 new songs on it.

[@jason___19__]

I get chills more and more each time I listen to it. Seen all the reactions. Its so eerie so powerful. Its not a jam in the car song, no. But its so great. Its a masterpiece. 1 and 2 are semi related. All are about money running the world and greed and corruption.

[@coltenparks9642]

Idk I turned it on this morning driving to work it was pretty dope

[@paulort1184]

He incorporates a degree of shock art, and does it well.

[@derthbrentlystudios1241]

I'm huge fan of your reactions. Also I absolutely love that water bottle I have the same kind it's nice and big and has the straw thingy

[@margaretc5679]

Lighter fare and too often overlooked - Sweet Little Lady (live acoustic) from The Big Push. You'll love it!

[@jpbryant]

If you want to see what versatility REN has as an independent artist, blind react to his work with his band ‘The Big Push’ and his duets with another wonderful artist ‘Chinchilla’. A good start would be to watch ”I shot the Sherriff / Road to Zion”! Happy rabbit holing!!

[@staceyjayneplatt9527]

🇬🇧🇺🇸👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@Gosswillerusn]

the whole album is released and it hit #1 in the Uk

[@kennethmichael5404]

Go listen to "Uninvited" next...it will definitely lift your spirits after this heavy one. I promise. Smiles guaranteed.

[@serratedchimera3871]

At least I wasn't the only person who teared up. I've watched this song close to 30 times on 29 different channels and I've teared up each time. I'm starting to think I'm just a big baby. Love the reaction 💞💞💯 money game 1 & 2 would have helped. Money game 1 was how he sees the money game money game 2 is a world view of it and 3 is just storytelling from birth to death where money is taught that it's everything you need and how bad it can go if you're only taught that it's the only thing that matters. Well umm yea that's just my opinion tho. Looking forward to seeing you watch the others if you decide too

[@markchasse8992]

Love your cat in the window ❤

[@stevejarvis4174]

Watch money game p1& 2 and then watch 3 again and it all fits ...

[@sahuero9620]

Love Music Pt 1, 2, 3, 4 and Humble

[@margaretc5679]

Great reaction!

[@Hexenkind1]

Album is out, yes. And everything that you reacted to except "Hi Ren" is on this album. 18 songs. Totally see why it is hard to relisten. But for me it is worth it to go through, even if it hurts.

[@andrewwest8334]

Pretty sure I’ve encouraged you to listen to these before but… if you want a break from the heavy Ren stuff and to check out his lighter, more fun stuff, you can’t go wrong with Humble, Love Music Parts 1-4 (3 is my fave!), Ocean, Losing It, What You Want, Bitter Sweet Symphony retake, Hold On, Everybody Drops, Run Away, there are loads! Oh and the Big Push stuff too - War Pigs, I Shot the Sheriff…

[@rexrogers1859]

Thanks for promoting Ren's generational artistry, even if you don't interact with people commenting on your channel. That's too bad.... Enjoy your day

[@patschm4153]

ren's already a legend

[@maddfishy1975]

Rens message is that we need to end greed. We have billionaires sat on mountains of wealth yet we have children starving to death in poorer countries. The cycle of going to school, get good grades, attending a great university or college, getting a great job, earning as much as possible, buying a nice house, have kids and repeat the cycle. All the time we alienate ourselves from others. We need to live as a community and the only time we should look down on anyone is when we’re helping them up.

[@billmonb4579]

Check out the behind the scenes of this one. So Kewl seeing him in real life and he actually invited a couple reactors. Knox and Wolf

[@caladonn2659]

Ren said "Mold will Grow upon the Surface that Consumes til it dies, and Our Fate could be the same without this Story to the Wise" His Solution is to be a Teacher opening the Eyes of Millions with his Art and his Heart! If enough of Us actually LISTEN to his words, then Maybe, Just Maybe the Hunan Race may Survive!

[@ianrose56]

Well said, not enough get that fact.!! Rens a Messenger, just like Jesus was..!! Don't ignore his message,and his message is everywhere.!!! Great reaction, btw..😁👌👍🇬🇧

[@mjj29]

Great reaction, would love to see you react to The Tale of Jenny and Screech (full). Another storytelling masterpiece from Ren

[@nonagrey3422]

Your tat work is incredible

[@markchasse8992]

Has vibes of the movie "The Game". So she goes to the gym. :-). If you do listen, watch another reaction video of this production.

[@sharis9095]

If you want some different Ren stuff.. there are a lot of covers with his band The Big Push (if a choice go with red suspenders). He has Halloween creepy "Children of the Moon"... naughty stuff like "Love Music part 4 and Uninvited... Rap... The Hunger, Losing It, Power. All stuff you could listen to in your car (or gym playlist). Ren is a deep well... you'll find something for every mood.

[@Nick60606]

Great reaction! I still think Hi Ren is his masterpiece because visually is more of a living painting and I also can relate to it more because of my illness. But this is by far his and Samuel's best video and demonstration of his acting skills. Super talented guys............... Some people say he should be on Broadway Not a good idea to have that kind of pressure with his health issues, Lyme is a tough one. Keep it a s simple as you can Ren.

[@Pablopax4]

While the album is mainly fairly heavy it's not all dark. The track "Uninvited' is my new favourite, It's beautiful, funny and a bit dirty in it's metaphors. I'd recommend that as a palate cleanser. X.

[@pitapita3559]

10:51 That was what it looks like to "Pull the trigger of a Money Game"

[@Seamus.MacLeod]

Huge hugs. Hit me like a ton of bricks too, but I keep coming back to it. It IS a bloody movie. It's the story of a boy who spent his whole life trying to get his father's approval. And no matter what he did, it was never enough. So when Dad died, he lost it. His well built empire fell apart along with him. No, it's all Ren; no actual person. I'll go deeper into some of the messages once you watch the other parts. Like an onion it is.

[@Medicinemen100]

You can't just jump in anywhere with Ren if you want to 'get it' and understand what's been done here. It's the final part of the trilogy. All the parts intertwine 'Presses on the trigger of a money game' would mean so much more to you. You have to go and take the standard entrace videos to the Ren rabbit hole also. Being 'Hi Ren' and ' The Tales of Jenny and Screech' to see how he as mastered the 'One Take' video. I've subscribed:)

[@Sobergirl_]

16:10 Straight up! Peaky Blinders😂 He does resemble Thomas Shelby too, don’t he? I don’t know much about “Jimmy”. Maybe a character or an alter ego. He mentions him in a Big Push song too… All My Heroes, I think.

[@belindamelville2270]

Ren❤❤❤

[@BPDProductions-fd9fe]

You not alone, a small part of myself was wondering "Is Ren going to actually off himself to really drive home the message " when I was reacting to it.

[@djh9022]

I don’t think it’s depressing at all, its a lesson against greed. It’s great.

[@lukehoude]

Sick boi album reaction and brave 2 reaction would be amazing to see

[@TizzleFry419]

You should listen to Money Game 1 and 2 as soon as possible. There are several running themes. The melody that runs through all three was so good played by the string quartet. Even the rain ties into the chorus of parts 1 and 2. While I really like part 3, I think part 2 is my favorite.

[@desiredbydesign6188]

Your such a princess

[@Nico12233]

Hi Ren, Jenny and Screech and the Money Game are really heavy and dark, but you should check out Ren busking with the Big Push and Back to 74. Those are more cheerful and also demonstrate his genius, but in a different way.

[@justinatest9456]

Looks like you've not seen Ren's other masterpiece "The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full)". It's three separate songs he released over a couple of years that tell a cohesive story, so they must be viewed in proper order. They are now available in one 13 minute video with the title above. Highly recommended.

[@DonutCockapoo]

Yeah you’re right - it’s a true story about one of the Peaky Blinders who became the youngest ever senator in the States and got shot and crippled by a Columbia drug cartel after selling Nukes in the Middle East… 😇

[@GhostWatcher2024]

Lol @ your wtf... yes, he really ratcheted up the tension with the intentional neglect for trigger discipline. And yeah, this one is brutal. But then so was Su!cide and Seven Sins on this same album. You should definitely watch Money Game (part 1 live) and Money Game 2 (lyric video)... and then watch this part 3 again. To be clear, Ren does NOT want to watch the world burn, he's trying to save the world but kicking us all in the brains.

[@charliecrowley1070]

Truth is less important than the money we design! If your focusis money it will blurr the truth, if you see real truth it will show you an easier path to money. We could build utopias if people would use their brains. If we teach children to be sheep and put themselves before the hood their is more money for me. Just think if we taught the children inventions and individual thinking is great! Fighting is bad but sometimes you have to do it but ONLY when it's your last choice. Don't chase your truth but chase the real truth of every human being!
