You’re both intelligent , funny and down to earth guys.Loving your Ren reactions 👌🏻

By all means, be silly… be serious… be critical… be honest… be emotional… be inspired… be awestruck… and be all things in between. It’s your channel and your reactions - so just be authentic and be yourselves and you’ll be ‘Golden’. 😉

I'm in my 60s. You don't scare me. Have at it.

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

You paused at one point for nearly 3 minutes, discussing the origins of guillotines, and that was just way too long of an interruption, it completely ruined the flow of the performance and your reaction. The goofing around in that section was excessive and honestly, not amusing. I almost gave this reaction a Dislike because of it, but I gave it a Like because I'm a big Ren fan. Being a little goofy is okay, but it should be infrequent and in much smaller doses.

[@LeeannG]

His friend Sam Tompkins sounds very much like JT. Their busking sessions are incredible!

[@Codex7777]

The trouble with Sam is, he just does the same thing, over and over and over again, like a one trick pony. I get bored of it pretty quickly, tbh. He's also frequently flat or off-key. Yey I've noticed that most people are overly impressed by the ability to sing in a high key, to the exclusion of every other vocal consideration. Personally, I think Ren's vocals are on a whole other level to Sam's, yet judging by comments, I'm very obviously in a minority. :)

[@Apollo.Rising]

Really enjoying your journey down the rabbit hole! You'll be excited to hear he's releasing a Nas retake Thurs March 14! If you're wanting some more singing Ren I'd suggest Chalk Outlines (Live) for an emotional vibe or I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop with his band The Big Push for a more happy vibey vibe. Both are incredible performances

Whenever you see "retake" in one of Ren's titles, he has taken the music from another artist's song and done his own lyrics over it.

I discovered you today (Big Ren fan) and have binged watched your whole Ren series. I love how you manage to pick up on things I haven’t, despite me having listened to some of these songs hundreds of times. You also seem to have some amazing interpretations of the music. I would love to hear you react to Dominoes though, it’s on of his older songs and a little more direct with the lyrics but it’s a big message about society and I find it really powerful to listen to.

talent cannot be measured. Art cannot be measured. There is art that pleases us and art that we don't like. But still is art. You can eat amazing food at a 3 Stars Restaurant made by a famous chef or you can eat at the food truck next corner and you'd still be eating food. There is a bunch of stuff JT can do that Ren cannot (or have not done yet) like Dancing or being on a stage by his own with no instrument to play and still have to entertain.... Don't get me wrong I prefer Ren to JT but I will never say that this artist is more talented than the other. We'd have to define "talent"

This was another brilliant ReNtake. Just Ren doing Ren things. He has music in his soul and pours so much soul into everything he does 🐰🕳️

[@debrashrider4062]

Yeah this rabbit hole goes into "Infinity and Beyond" as said by Buzz Light Year.

[@rogerstarkey5390]

"The world is yours" line comes from his own "money game 2. "the world is yours step out on the stage to a round of applause" . (Maybe he felt "awkward" using his own song?) Then he referenced the subject matter in his "money game" trilogy.... ("The world is flawed, when the power makes money and the money makes wars")

[@vladimirklimenko2296]

He's also paying homage to Nas. "The World Is Yours" on the classic Illmatic.

I would have loved to sit in the bar with a martini enjoying this awesome song and man. Thanks guys, enjoy your Ren reactions

[@CaptainDonato22]

Great (and funny) reaction! Loved the “blooper reel” at the end. Ren definitely hit some JT-ish high vocals in this. But I truly believe he was channeling Prince in the Back on 74 song. Not so much the radio-Prince songs, but more of his soul/gospel stuff. The way Ren can change his pitch, alter his voice, go high to low and everywhere in between, add/subtract vibrato, emanate soulful and smoky tones, and sing with his whole face… yeah definite and absolute Prince vibes. How he can channel so many iconic singers (Prince, Sting, Marley, etc…) and yet still sound so phenomenally unique and refreshingly one of a kind - just MIND BOGGLING!!!

[@davidd6725]

As rappers, I'm really surprised you guys don't do harry mack reactions. You'd be super impressed, it'd blow your mind. 100% off the top freestyles that are better than most writtens from mainstream artists

[@davidd6725]

Is the heart a hint that you guys are planning on checking his videos out? Lol. There's hundreds of hours of content. Omegle Bars 45 is one of the most popular videos from a few years ago. There's 100 episodes of Omegle Bars before he pivoted away from it.

Just came over from a failing link to Gorran Kendall live busk (Malaga Busky Busk Busking pt 2).

[@improveourselves3929]

Yup - riff is indeed the little section of music, whereas rift is the split between two sections of land, or between two people emotionally.

[@Qalibrated]

"Ren & Sam Tompkins - Improvising Around Stevie Wonder (Live Performance)" should be top of your list! It hasn't gotten that much attention in the reactor space but it might be my favorite (or atleast top 3) live busking performances.

The original artist for Back on 74 is a contemporary artist named Jungle and the official video is brilliant, a one take dance video. His version honors, musically that song, and near the end of his rap he says "massive like Jungle". Clearly a nod to the original artist.

Love the throw-in of the guitar lick from "Message in a Bottle" throughout the "Back on 74" cover. It really does work well. The Jungle original retake, with that being such a new song by Jungle. You just said what aboyt The Police riff as i was typing as i watched😊 his added bars to this cover of Back on 74 are very cheeky. But he also has major Sting vocals when that part comes in. His singing has always been great, but it is getting even better. Yes "wax strip grooves, don't stay still when, I make my move" but also wax grooves on a LP. Too cheeky.😊 Check out Jungle's original.

His solo stuff is hot as hell and his stuff with his band, The Big Push, is also fire hot. The Money Game trilogy is one of my faves, but so is Bongo Bong (TBP), and Dominoes and his busking sessions with the band and his duets with Sam Thompkins...I mean...you need a Ren (& friends) WEEK just to scratch the surface.
