Ren - Murderer (Live acoustic video) | reaction

[@RenMakesMusic]

Appreciate you man!!!!! Also bangin falsetto!!!

[@salishseamermaid]

Ren, I think I love this even more than the original. (And now I'm singing "murderer!" softly as I make my nursing rounds😂)

[@TriggerHappyRob]

Ren your a beast I’ve listen to every busking, big push, and everything you’ve been dropping and it’s just unreal how much of a godlike artist you are! Stay up brother much love!!!!!

[@zed4225]

#Ren and we appreciate you

[@tafinzer]

No one shows more love and appreciation for your artistry than th9s man.

[@ThatSingerReactions]

Brother smh you have ridiculous talent smh but you know how I feel man 💯

[@robmarar]

Did you catch the Dr. Dre riff from "Next Episode" ft. Snoop Dog that Ren put in the live version?

[@lindseybriggs2771]

You are also the only commentator who really gets Jacob Collier that I have seen and I think that's amazing. Your musical ear is obviously off-the-charts.

[@woodywoodman2319]

And he's playing Dr. Dre guitar riff, a whole different melody, over it all at the same time!!! Now That's Hard to do!!! Surprised ya missed it!

[@crispywheats]

Ren is a master of syncopation. Really adds to both the reggae and jazz feels; keeps his cadences/flows extra interesting.

[@Lulabee2024]

Your Ren reactions are MY FAVORITES. The respect you show and the excitement you express is EVERYTHING. Thank you.

[@TheGuyWithNoSubsForAReason]

Agreed

[@timbuckohfive2751]

Dude you got some pipes of your own>>>>

[@ThatSingerReactions]

Thank you so much ❤

[@Codex7777]

When you know that Ren's two big vocal icons are Nina Simone and Jeff Buckley, his vocals come into focus even more. You start to realise that those parts you thought were just random coincidences with how he sings, maybe even throwaway, are actually absolutely deliberate. I love how he plays with vocal light and shade and inserts little subtleties and nuances into his delivery, that can be missed if you're not tuned into it. I also love how he isn't afraid to play around on the edges of perfection, before reeling it back in, to make the imperfection perfect. I love it when vocalists do that. Tbh, I think Ren's voice is vastly under appreciated. He has an incredible voice! :)

[@caprise-music6722]

The fact he played The Next Episode melody while rapping that second verse is what blew my mind the most about this whole thing

[@Parula06]

Me, too. My mind almost froze up when I saw him do that. He's the magic man. Talent and chops off the chart.

[@xdaniedx]

Ren filming this in L.A. and playing a quick tribute to Dr. Dre by playing the beat to his song "The Next Episode" during his last verse is God teir musicianship while being aware of your surroundings and music history!

[@themojoslide]

It was also recorded on the 50th anniversary of hip hop so I'm told!

[@MrWidestripes]

100% and the nod to Barrington Levi, guy's next level

[@steveb8764]

Was that L.A. ?

[@zed4225]

#ThatSingerReactions, I love your channel, you have a lovely way about you and a fantastic voice.

[@amandatheyahoo411]

Love his voice too! So good.

[@allybandy3047]

I was shivering over every little change he made from the original. His acoustic versions are magical.

[@Hexenkind1]

Tidbits from barrington levy's "murderer", damian marleys "welcome to jamrock" and dr.dre's "the next episode" and ini kamozes "world a music (out in the streets they call it merther)" that is a sample on welcome to jamrock in there. Filmed in Los Angeles 6 days ago. Fun fact: "Merther" is basically the term for listening to reggae while smoking weed. The "merging" of it. Just loved it very much. Oh and also: There is a version of "murderer" from barrington levy featuring none other than rakim himself.

[@DraGon-ge6po]

The only thing that gives me more joy than watching Ren's music videos is watching reactions to Ren's music videos 😄

[@kellie7180]

I already commented, But.....getting to the very end I was captivated with all the spot-on comments you were making. I have to mention more...you are connecting on a special level from your own background and that was made very clear, and I love it so much! Having a vocal and performing background myself, It tickles me to no end when a reactor brings things up that truly resonates. He has such a "natural" gift that I believe one is born with in a sense. And continues to craft his gifts which become more and more stellar with age. Bringing the jazz, swing, reggae, and rap together cohesively. He scats, plays guitar and intuitively finds notes and chord progressions that all-combined is extraordinary to me. Anyway, if you read this, thank you. And thank you for your special insights that I love to watch. ♥️

[@bigbirchwood67]

Ren’s RENovated RENdition Music style is a genre in itself! RENovated RENdition!

[@Veeliscious]

Excited with you on this react!I love how Ren does a cover of his own song and makes it more "Ren". Here his rapping has a more singing quality to it, his little ad-libs and solo guitar riffs add a little Ren spicy seasoning like Jerk Sauce and the whole thing has his bouncy, busking party vibe to it. His accoustic versions are like the Buy One Get The Limited Edition Free offer - like a bottle of Bailey's Original Irish Cream, with the Tiramisu flavoured version - they're the same but each have their own distinctive & very more-ish flavoured twist and you can enjoy both equally in the same sitting.

[@catherinerobbins3887]

I can't believe his bag isn't hip hop/ rap but busking singing. He's so incredibly amazing. I'm gonna say it here cause I haven't before and kinda scared of the backlash. But he's almost a Jesus savior for music. The second coming of all talent. ❤

[@kevbruce9191]

Seriously Nick, you're the best reactor in the business 👏 I've seen tons of channels but they're not in your knowledge or presentation class bro 💯

[@woodywoodman2319]

Bro... he's dropping Love Music pt 4 in 3 days... that means ya got 3 days to do part 1, 2 and 3! Lol

[@ThatSingerReactions]

I'm on it!!!

[@kevbruce9191]

Ren said yest that the record labels are knocking his door down atm. Credit to him that he has stood firm 👏 🙌 👌

[@mattrleon]

One of the best parts of my day is waking up to see what the AVENGERS have for today, All you guys are seriously bad ass, as a 30 yr long Metal guitarist i see music in a way few do, you guys see what i see.. REN is DIFFERENT... this cat is IT!!! And Knox CALM DOWN YOU KILLED THAT MAN!!! Sooo good.. sorry i know this isnt the place but wanted to show love.. AVENGERS!!!!!!! I also posted this on Cliff (Rob)''s page

[@Inspir8ion5611]

Thank you for showing the genuine joy you felt for Ren! I enjoyed it.

[@justmejoy124]

Love the Dr Dre pickin at 816

[@atwellorama]

Singing, playing guitar, rapping, breath control, and adding in a melody from another song just for this instance. You catch Dr. Dre there? "The Next Episode". Insane talent.

[@Lynds77]

Love your channel ❤❤ you have an incredible glow and charisma

[@puppenbuhnebauchkribbeln1183]

I appreciate your appreciation sooo much - perfect reaction to Ren's absolutely BEAUTIFUL Django Rasta-Reinhard-Gangsta-Mix of Murderer 🩵🙏🏼

[@Desincarne]

I think you went into what I like to call 'reactor's trance' at a point after the solo where his double speed rap segued into another verse, because you didn't say a word about him incorporating the riff from Dre's The Next Episode, which I thought would make your head explode. 😝

[@sandiraymond1761]

Your voice is so nice. ❤ I love watching you smile when you're impressed by the video.

[@kylefrandsen2665]

Filmed in L.A.. A few bars after the guitar solo when he starts singing again, listen to the guitar part and you'll hear a tribute to Dr. Dre. This is what Ren does while he's on vacation 🤣

[@susanperine1068]

Enjoyed this reaction SO MUCH!! You have so much to add to WHY this work is soooooo fantastic!! Great Job! Ren is a treasure of our time!!!!! Stupendous talent!! Thank you for breaking it down !😮😊❤

[@Lynds77]

@ThatSingerReactions thank you so much for your energy and enthusiasm ❤. You have an amazing voice yourself! Are you American? Id love to hear more of your voice, do you have anything available for us to hear? You make my day, we love you here in Toronto Ontario Canada 🇨🇦. Where are you from? Have a blessed day my friend 🤜🏻🤛🏽

[@Beldvlmnt]

HOLY IM PUMPED

[@MartinFransson]

Seeing how so many reactors miss the Dr Dre shout out makes me feel OLD! 😅

[@eveline5858]

👍Yes very well ! subscriber, I love your passionate reactions 🥰

[@mikemedrano8579]

Not a lot of people have commented on how he playes around with his vocals on this. You get it.

[@Shiroar]

Ren has talent and musicality from head to toe and all the way out to the tips of his fingers. I think I love this version even more with all the little scatting bits and the added/changed melodies. Just brilliant. The GOAT in the rabbit hole kills it again.

[@mldkenny]

I love it that Ren popped in to show his love and respect, you so deserve it as you are such an Awesome reactor ( with a smooth voice ) This track is up a few levels for sure, and live, incredible!

[@lisaswanson7442]

I love how much you appreciate RENs creative genius!

[@normaleehi]

9:05 this is what I been saying! ppl can talk about his singing, rapping, playing, writing, but above all I say Ren is a master at breathing. its essential to his survival and his work and his mythos. its emphasized often in his songs, and its a key to how he maintains his Ren

[@normaleehi]

that,, and possibly serial murder?? who can say

[@theguywithabow]

His work ethic is crazy. Last week he was getting medical stuff done, this week he's on vacation, and gives us one of his best arrangements...another reactor said "he's just sitting on a ##£%^%£ing hill!"

[@nubien9]

This is like starting a tv or book series & liking the pilot. 😎❤️💛💚🖤✊🏿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇯🇲

[@2nicnag2]

The only artist that I have no clue what I’m going to hear (type of music) yet know I will always like it

[@theguywithabow]

Your excitement when it comes to Ren is contagious lol

[@EandJ937]

And he’s in L.A. switched to a Dre beat and beeeeoch 😂

[@thekencot]

Your just bangin period Bro Ren ! Like he said !!Doing this all at once with Your Man taking up back bass & and guitar walk !!nicely mixed ! Your the Man !!!! Your guitar playing & singing off the Charts !!

[@francesdoll4039]

You missed the little Dr Dre melody on the guitar after the shoot em lines! Otherwise a great reaction!❤❤❤

[@brianbalcer]

Love the Dr Dre guitar

[@Singlespeedjo]

I’ve been waiting for your reaction! I knew it would be a good one😊😊❤🔥. REN never fails us!

[@yvonnewyke6897]

You are now in my top 3 reactors, love love love your enthusiasm and your voice mwah ❤

[@kellie7180]

I absolutely love your channel. Loving what you bring to us, and always authentic and giving us real. I Adore this acoustic version SO much! Ren is sooooo talented. With sooo many layers. Just a gift, man. Blessed.

[@patcow9999]

Beautiful reaction, enjoyed that. The jazzy and reggae elements, hinted at in the original song drop, really clear here. Loved your singing along and singer insights. The other guitarist indeed well worth a shout out, keeps the riff and melody going throughout. Ren is a serial multi-tasker, even found time to drop a famous Dr Dre melody into the song seamlessly! I love his acoustic takes, so different but take nothing away from the original songs impact.

[@didierblasco8116]

incredible talent for sure ! And you got your part Mr Singer . Fire reaction as always . Much Love !

[@hollyryalsgrubb1273]

His joy in performing is infectious.

[@celseapack4083]

I discovered you through your reactions to Ren. I follow you now because you enjoy Ren like I do. Anyone who can recognize the actual genius of Ren is my kind of people❤

[@vickyterry3150]

I LOVE your reactions!! You're one of my favorite reactors! And when you react to Ren's music, it's a double joy for me.

[@justmejoy124]

Ready to watch the song that's stayed stuck in my head for day hooked by the hook

[@DyvmSlorm]

The musicality is monstrously melodious.

[@JohnEdwards-wl5po]

You've got pipes fella & you're right on the talent. Respect from the uk

[@anandasouthard7760]

You remind me so much of my best friend from high school theater class! Your enthusiasm just shines and I love hearing you sing along! REN is amazing as always! He’s a human synthesizer!

[@serendipity1237]

“THAT WAS SO JAZZY” 😂

[@lucygonzalez-zo5nz]

This is the avenger’s reaction I was most looking forward to. I love your reactions.😍

[@hilarycharman-2924]

Thank you for your great musical breakdown it helps us understand even more how talented Ren really is 😊

[@kylene27]

That first line gets me every time with that held out "murder".

[@violetfemme411]

Another beautiful reaction. I love this channel 💜

[@ChristerAndersson-e6u]

Thank you for your REN reactions!!! For beeing such a generous and loving reactor! You spread positive energi and joy and your emotions feels so genuine! Thank you, you are the best!!!

[@caladonn2659]

Ren is the Original "Bardcore Genre Bender" The Master Bard himself ( Shakespeare ) would have understood exactly where Ren was coming from. Ren isn't just a songwriter but rather a Performance Art Master who blends music and character acting from all the styles over the last 500 years and makes it modern and relatable to all generations even if normally you may not be a fan of whatever genre he is currently performing. The Ren Rabbit Hole is Deep and Powerful! Get Ready for the Ride of your Life!

[@ambersargent2251]

Ren's ability is undeniable. Straight up. I've been watching music reactions for a long time, but Ren's music got me involved. Never had a single sub until I found him, and now I can never go back, lol. Anyway, you are one of my favs. Great reaction ❤️

[@Phoenix_flying]

Love your excellent reactions and your perfect pitch. Awesome!

[@Lunabracco]

I have never been interested in listening to guitar music before, but Rens guitar playing I could listen to a cd of just him playing guitar music ! I also just love his music ! He's amazing in every respect!!❤

[@Ann-vi5ns]

It’s pure joy listening to your Reactions. TY

[@alimac1469]

Loving the acoustic versions ❤

[@_Bobskee_]

Would love to hear more of you singing.

[@CyndeLooWho]

He reminds me of Amy Winehouse. He puts out exactly what he wants, it’s not what anyone else is doing, yet at the same time it’s timeless and classic, bending different genres to fit his vision and, most important, he doesn’t allow himself to get bullied into making changes for commercial reasons.

[@mrsainsburys1]

Awesome reaction, thank you I always appreciate your sterling reviews 🐊👍🙏❤️🦉

[@debrashrider4062]

Better late then Never...... its so great to see you feel the music as you also follow the lyrics....

[@AnaSmyth]

My Favorite reaction hands down! What a great creactive performance!

I so Love this Song right in LA . He is Treating himself before back to the Regimented Treatments.❤❤

[@timbuckohfive2751]

Ren is on a whole different level.

[@spruce381]

Man, I’d all but given up on any new music being as good as all I’d heard, but this dude is doing something that excites and delights me. Love your reaction

[@andrewrolfe3453]

I really liked the little nod to Dre, awesome talent!

[@lynette.]

I love like all the best his acoustic (in🇬🇧 we call it unplugged) versions of his tracks always have beautifully subtle differences. So can be enjoyed different so we get 2 ways to enjoy one song.

[@Rickro72]

I he good at what he does Ren. He is pretty spot on about your talents imo.🙏✌️🤙

[@RikaShae]

You’re so talented! Loved watching you sing along with Ren. So sick!

[@sammyd8860]

The acoustic versions allow him to reimagine the song and express himself much more freely/fluidly. His musicianship is incredible. Great reaction.

[@waynen6996]

His respect to 'the next episode ' nate dogg and Warren G being LA ,after his solo....💙💎🕊️ Anyway thank you for your share 💙💎🕊️

[@2nicnag2]

I appreciate your reactions because you are a singer yourself and can explain things, just like about all that he is doing that we may not even realize

[@kevbruce9191]

We luv ya Nick! Your musical knowledge is awesome 👌

[@susiejo143]

Ren is a gift from God❤

[@j.t.3798]

Amazing talent, just dripping off this man! 🔥

[@MsCheesemonster13]

Well you might be late to comment, but this is (easily) my favourite reaction to the live ocoustic version. Thank you. 😊

[@mikehalonen305]

( Im not a guitar guy) But most of Rens stuff is on a Spanish style guitar ( hi ren, the tails, ect.then plays a American style guitar when he's in CALIFORNIA he's so good at what he does. INTELLIGENCE!

[@mikecornelson3848]
