This Was WILD !! Twin Rappers React To REN - What You Want For The Very FIRST TIME !! This Is RAP !!

[@sicpuppy9500]

Great reaction guys, but you have not seen nothing yet. "Losin it", " The Hunger", "Illest of our time" just to name a few. followed by a plethora of killer vids

[@arielbussart1305]

[@RENfan1265]

The one in the purple is Vitkus. He is in a few of Ren's videos and also wears the pig mask. He is also a very good rapper, he has a verse in Down with the Beat, and he also has a solo channel

[@omnomshibob]

Viktus

[@djmoon8373]

Good call on it being Viktus wearing the pig mask. I just clued into this fact the other day. I heard on "Down on the beat", which I had listened to countless time,es previously, and it suddenly clicked in my head that the voice matched. I appreciate you pointing that out.

[@amandamackie6481]

Definitely check out Victus. He's another independent artist whose big mates with Ren. I'm sure Sam Tompkins was in there at the end whose also worth checking out.✨

[@gazdoyle7857]

Hunger, losing it and illest gonna blow your twin minds

[@mariajoseurizar5093]

Some Ren suggestions: -Génesis -Power -The Hunger -Animal flow

[@bosbornefischer]

Ren self-references a LOT. Sometimes it's song titles, like "Hi Ren", sometimes it's parts of lyrics. He also makes a lot of pop-culture references. You really want your socks blown off, check out Losing It. It will blow you away.

BREAKDANCE REQUEST!!! 🔥🔥🔥I freaking❤ your Ren reactions soooo much!!!

[@sigally]

You guys caught things that I haven't heard by anyone else. Ren loves old school Hip Hop. The 90s are his thing. Easter eggs in every track. He uses so many references that most people can't get unless their familiar with them. He never throws in words just as filler. I wonder how much you'll get with Losing It & Wicked Ways when and if you do those.

As many have already mentioned, the blond guy is Viktus, a rapper and good friend of Ren's, and the smaller guy is Samuel, as in "A Video by Samuel and Ren," think Tale of Jenny and Screech.

Having all of Rens ( and The Big Push ) tracks so many many times it is great to see you revisit with such a high degree of knowledge and energy. Really enjoying the music education lessons as well with your reactions. You seriously are only 2% through the Ren Journey of a Lifetime.

[@BD-BOY22]

Viktus is the taller one with the blonde hair he is also a rapper. He is on one of ren's tracks "down on the beat" he also has a few tracks you should listen too as he is very good. You should react to: the hunger, illest of our time, losing it and Power just to name a few. Loving your reactions boys keep up the good work

[@jodiwest3534]

He's so brilliant on Down On The Beat. That low register voice is chefs kiss

[@docdurdin]

Boys, welcome back to the world of Ren. Somehow, Ren has absorbed every genre and every decade of music you can think of. He is the creator, the producer and the mixer. Since you like this you must listen to " Losing It, an EDM he mixed into a rap.

[@susieq3571]

Please do the song Murderer by Ren, its unbelievable and doesn't get enough hype. 😊

[@seaknight-v5m]

Amazingly Ren wasn't even born when the beasties were booming he is truly a master of mimicry and a scholar of those that came before. This is how musicians should be pushing musical boundaries and questioning beliefs, not all these milli vanilli, painting by numbers types of corporate crass we've had to endure for 30 + years. Never has been a better time to be an independent artist, with a global audience on tap, talent will always shine out. Ren has risen like a second Sun shining brightly over everything, long may it continue. Fingers crossed he gets well enough to tour I feel his shows would be unlike anything seen before or possibly again. 👏 👏 👏

[@TheSpano1]

Yes please I want to see you breakdance to this one!!!

[@jasonklenetsky2217]

Rens musical influences are super diverse. From Tom Jones to Rage Against the Machine, to Nina Simone and Jimi Hendrix. Eminem, and bunch of British artists as well as punk.

[@Haffelpaff]

Sick Boi would help you understand his backstory a bit better, in his song about the 90s he talks about his influences, but the best rapflows to me are the hunger and illest of our time, he even did a rap battle - but Ren Style. Danceable would be „losing it“ there is another Trilogy called „Money Game“. And if you want to hear him and his friends sing so fucking good that you can‘t, he did live music videos with the female Singer and his Friend Chinchilla, who set a record for the first female indempendend artist charting with her single „little girl gone“. Together they made not fun lyrical ballad. And Ren busking with his „little Brother“ Sam Tomkins is just crazy

[@TobiiRheaStarr]

Welsh are British lol. Great Britain. 😂 and yea this is an homage to the BB 🖤

[@TobiiRheaStarr]

Also you missed the end off, Ren has a lot out of outtakes etc 😂

[@sicpuppy9500]

The Tall guy w/ facial tats wearing the purple jacket when they came out of the store is Viktus, who is featured in " Down On The Beat ". "Viktus": has a YT channel of the same name

[@stewrmo]

Loved that lads. Just for your information, Ren usually pins his lyrics as the first comment. Just incase you need them! One love from Scotland. 💙

[@TuPham-gn9vt]

Fun reaction. Would love to see you break dance to Ren's "What You Want".

[@rovcanada1]

BTW, guys, the Welsh ARE British, as are the English and the Scottish. They are the three countries that are physically located on the British Isles, i.e. the island of Great Britain. Where Americans get confused is the 'United Kingdom' thing. This includes Northern Ireland, which is physically not on the 'Great Britain' island, but it is one of the four countries that comprise the United Kingdom. Just think of the United Kingdom as 4 'States', whereas the United States of America has 50 such 'States' that comprise the 'Union'. The UK has 46 less 'States' than what the USA has for its own Union ... that's all.

[@Ph4n_t0m]

As a half-Brit half-American, I say thank you! That's a brilliant mnemonic! Adopted!

[@JonathanKeenan]

Just to underline what the person is saying there. England, Scotland and Wales make up Great Britain. The British Isles adds Northern Ireland (UK) and the country that is the Rebublic of Ireland. The Great in Britain, is an evolution of the greek. I believe it just means greater or bigger. All the best.

[@VideosbyLisaLisa]

And to complicate it further for U.S. reactors are the accents. There isn't really a British (England, Scotland, Wales = Great Britain) accent or a UK accent (GB + N. Ireland) as those are 4 countries, but there's the multitude of accents (pronunciation) that can sound so different within a seemingly (to us Americans) small area. England alone is smaller than the size of Oregon, but has more regional accents and than all of the U.S. And if you listen to rap, you're in for a world of learning because the slang within the dialects can change or not exist at all. Oh, and then the whole Cockney rhyming thing... 😅

[@jeffmartin_UK]

[@arjunaugarow]

Instant fan of you guys. Love your energy and good vibes. I bet you are both great teachers and popular with your kids.

[@Colleen_OH]

All the vocals in this song are just layers of Ren. (He is an excellent producer and creates most of his own beats and does all of his own audio mixing). The other characters in the video are only adding to the Beastie Boys homage visually, although Viktus is actually a rapper as well.

[@carljwnc]

Viktus, guy in the purple track suit...also guy in the pig mask at the beginning of Hi Ren, has a KZbin channel. Only a few videos, but y'all should check them out. I'm a fan, and I think he's really just getting wound up, show him some reaction love.

[@djmoon8373]

Thank you Colleen, that is exactly what I was trying to say. Although I would simply add the fact that he beatboxes on several of his tracks as well. Ren does it all, including being a self-taught, multi-instrumentalist.

[@asiccawright]

Uhm... you MUST share a video of y'all dancing to this!!!

[@nrsvlda70]

So glad you guys saw something light from Ren… he’s so incredibly multi-faceted - you’ve not even scratched the surface yet! Several more ‘rapity-rap’ songs (including beat-boxing).. but he’s also an incredible singer too. Can’t wait for your next Ren reaction!!

[@guesswho2827]

My 3rd video with you guys and all I can say is; Ha! You fell into the "worm hole" (referencing one of your Hi Ren view).

[@Codex7777]

As others have said, you haven't seen/heard anything yet, when it comes to Ren rapping. He really is a rap god! Try 'The Hunger', 'Losing It', 'Sick Boi' and Sick Boi part2' (my favourite)! To see/hear him doing it live on the street, check out, "Ren and Sam Tompkins - Improvising Around Stevie Wonder". Your mind will be blown! Not just because he raps, live, like a rap god but because he sings like a (fallen) angel and plays guitar like a demon. However, as rappers, you'll love his rap skills! :) Btw, always play a video to the end. You missed a funny little nugget at the end, on this one. :)

[@jasonklenetsky2217]

I was in a breakdancing club in the 80’s, lol. Would be cool to see what you got in your bag. Check out The Hunger, it has some triple time. Or “Losing It”, which also has some triple time rap. Wicked Ways also…

[@djmoon8373]

You are quite correct sir. I tried to point this out when I said that the other two were only included in the video because with the track being an homage to the Beastie Boys, it would have appeared a little odd if the video featured Ren on his own.

[@karlbecker8775]

I can't be sure, but I'm pretty sure the track is all Ren layered to make it sound like a crew.

[@FaerieCastle]

Oooo throwing in for Animal Flow, The Hunger, Losing It, Illest of Our Time and Power for sure!!!!

[@DogDocKat]

[@debrashrider4062]

Well Ren is Welsh (born and raised in Wales. Vikus is English born and raised in England. I am not sure who the others in the video are. Also one interesting bit of info: creation dates and release dates are not always in order. He might create a song with or without a video and not release it for weeks or months. While releasing newer ones right away. It seems to be for maybe a reason, or no reason at all. So release dates do not reflect newer or older.

[@Colleen_OH]

One of them is named Benny who you will see wearing a tricorn hat in the crowd in a lot of The Big Push busking videos. The other is named Jake (but not the same Jake who drove the car in the Murderer video).

[@davideastham]

What you want was released several months before Hi Ren in 2022. He references a lot of his songs in the songs he writes.

[@djmoon8373]

Ok gentleman, I am watching your video on my tv while writing this comment on my PC, so that I can react to your comments & questions and not miss any. Yes, obviously this is indeed his homage to The Beastie Boys. As far as the Adidas track suits, Ren is a big fan of the look and can often be found rocking the look. Before I go any further, ignore everyone else, you need to watch "Losing it (Fisher Rap version). While I don't know you, and have only watched a couple of your videos, I promise you, you will absolutely love it. Also, his rhyming in it is epic. As for who the other two in the video are, they are two of his best friends, One is the gentleman who shoots all his "one-shot" videos, of which he has many. Although it looks in the video like they are rapping on the track more than they actually are. The reason they are in the video is to make them look more like the Beastie Boys. It would be strange if it was Ren on his own in the video. Watch "Losing it" and you will be losing it. I would have to check the dates on the videos, but I thought it was before "Hi Ren", but given the line in this track, it would seem that I am mistaken. By the way, you also REALLY need to check out some of his busking videos as a member of "The Big Push". His talent at guitar playing, (self taught by the way), in addition to his singing will blow your minds. I know the hip hop tracks are more your style, but they show you a better look at his range and the unreal amount of talent his has. By the way, yes, he does beat box on quite a few of his tracks. Just another skill in his toolbox of talents my friends. Heres my final thought, watch Losing it (Fisher rap version) I promise that it will be a high addition on your favorite playlist. Enjoyed the video gents, review Losing it and I'll subscribe immediately.

@@francesdoll4039 you are quite correct, I was mistaken. Speaking of which, I believe you meant Viktus, who is the solo rapper who did "Down on the beat" with Ren. The third gentleman I too am at a loss when it comes to his name. What I do know for a fact though, is the three were never a "group". The reason the two are in the video is because the track pays homage to the Beastie Boys, so it would have appeared a little odd if it were only Ren in the video. If you doubt that fact, then find another track by this "group". Unless you are going to tell me that they formed for this one track and then tragically the group broke up. Lmao.
