The Big Push - I Shot The Sheriff/Road To Zion/Hip Hop | Reaction

[@GloomBug]

Finally a reaction to the ‘a little bit of luck’ section! We needed a British take just to appreciate that part!😂Thanks guys❤️

[@waxingmiracle]

OMG i've been thinking the same for so feckin long!

[@captainusagi]

I was the lone teenager in school in the US constantly bangin 2step and garage. So i lost it when hearing that part

[@jsims44]

Facts. Only other reactor to give a proper reaction to that was my man @brainsqueezereactions Siah, you got some bangin tracks bro. I’m running these bitches on a loop. KP, you’re next. Appreciate this channel so much 🫶

[@JennaSaisQuoi11]

Yessss! I hadn’t seen anyone react to that transition yet. Not with the respect it deserves.

[@sharoncarlisle9453]

Right? It usually gets ignored.

[@STEELMENPODCAST-l4y]

The Big Push have remained friendly. They split when Ren went to Canada for treatment almost two years ago. Romain, who played the guitar solo, appeared with Ren at the Sky Arts awards last week.

[@MissyGail4eva]

And at the Secret Garden Party... 😊

[@digdougist]

Also the guitarist in chair in the first money game.

[@randar1969]

No need to be bitter they had a great time and time changes things and circumstances. Besides wih Rens nr1 position now people looked into the Big Push more then they probably ever thought possible.

[@sunshynff]

It wasn't just because Ren went to Canada, according to Ren, at their last busking gig, he told the crowd he was headed somewhere for a new kind of medical treatment and that the other 3 all had amazing opportunities to pursue individually and that they would all be on opposites ends of the globe from each other for a year or so.

[@twistedpixel756]

unfortunately, Ren's treatment was unsuccessful, and he will be heading back to Canada soon for another round. So it may not be in the cards to have a revival anytime soon.

[@theamazingtif]

I have never seen an artist more free than Ren. He’s unapologetically himself and it’s a beautiful thing.

[@lynngaar9863]

I love the fact that Siah felt that and commented on it. Ren inspires that freedom in all of us. 💜

Big Push musicians in their own right too. They have their own thing to do to. Ren is surrounded by excellent talent.

[@Jenniferannes]

The band played their last show at the Brighton Dome in September 2022 they split because they were all going in different directions. Ren had to go to Canada for treatment of his health, was initially only supposed to be for 3-6 months turned out to be 18 months. Glen the drummer got married and moved to Australia, Gorran on bass here is travelling and Romain the Frenchman with the black guitar is also focussing in his solo stuff. They are all still good friends and Ren had Romain play guitar for his recent Sky Arts Awards performance, they also played a couple of songs together at Rens show at The Secert Garden Party festival ealier this summer.

[@francesdoll4039]

Romain also had his own set on Friday night and we saw Ren hanging out in the back doorway watching his friend play.

It is a lot of fun.

[@bosbornefischer]

You have unlocked the new characters ***ROMAIN AXISA*** and ***GORRAN KENDALL***!! Romain also has his own solo career, as well as being an amazing quarter of The Big Push. Knew this would blow you both away. Those smiles were everything! Gotcha! When Ren performs, he's said that he is always seeking flow-state--a state where his conscious mind is off, and he's just a conduit for the performance. This is one of the best examples of how in-tune the entire band is with each other, and how different the music is as a result. The band decided to disband and Ren, Romain, and Gorran are currently pursuing separate solo careers, and Glenn (the drummer) is currently living and working in Australia.

[@MissyGail4eva]

And the boys have a small but loyal following, too, aka the Romainiacs and the 𝖦𝗈𝗋𝗋ɑ𐓣𝗀υ𝗍ɑ𐓣 𝖯𝗈ɕƙ౿𝗍 𝖦ɑ𐓣𝗀!

[@Diego.Ambrosini]

"One good thing about music, when it heats you, you fell no pain". The first line on Dead Prez's Hip Hop, but originally from Bob Marley's Trenchtown Rock. Such a truthful message, and Ren must feel it very close to his heart.

[@sciaticsfletcher]

My most favourite reaction to this mashup, right here!! I KNEW this was the one for you guys. AMAZING reaction, knew it would play out like this. Cheers brothers.

[@StuffSteph]

That's what I love about him too, he's a "student of music". His musical awareness is like no one I've heard before.

[@krystalIvy1996]

The instant pause, follower by "what?!" Had me hysterically laughing 🤣 You guys didn't dissapoint 😊

[@kjsdottor]

I was waiting for this! I literally burst out laughing and clapping when he sang his first phrase and I saw the looks on your faces!❤

[@ms.lisamarie82]

Best day ever!!!!! I knew this one would get you excited...this level of pure joy and happiness in the music is exactly what our boy Ren needs right now!!!😁

[@shirleywenlock-hot7460]

The Big Push disbanded in Dec of 22 when Ren had to leave for medical treatments in Canada, where he stayed until July of this year. Sadly he just found out that he has to return for more treatments since he's had a set back.

[@sheenadees2701]

Yeah, he had a pretty crushing blow that, along with finding out that there is no audio to the secret party recording really bummed him out, and then didn't his laptop burn out earlier this week? Get liquid spilled on it or something? He's not having a good week. I'm praying for him that this time, it works.

[@randar1969]

Set back was to be expected with those treatment things go worse before they go better. But everyone responds different to those treatments.

[@andybricks576]

Yeah I just heard about that terrible News earlier, he said he's going to start another course of the treatment. All my prayers go out to him & with the help & support of his friends, family & fans Ren will beat this Lyme disease & path the way for any other sufferer to see it can be beaten. 🔥

[@mightymouse6821]

I found you boys with REN reactions. I love your energy and will be here to stay. Thank you both for the positive energy.❤

[@daphneparkin6869]

That was a lot of fun! The Big Push members are solo players in their own right, Romain Axisa - guitar solo, Gorran Kendall on bass, Glenn Chambers on drums. They came together when Ren and Romain shared a flat and started busking, then joined by Gorran and lastly by Glenn. They disbanded when Ren had to go to Canada for medical treatment. Romain is the guy under the sack in Money Game 1, and again for Money Game 2 at the Sky Arts Awards recently.

[@sanfordgfogg]

Who else has noticed that he tells the band "like drum-n-bass now" just as he enters Dead Prez's rap section? Just more indication on how he also communicates to the band the direction that he wants to express the vocals as he's feeling them. Any ensemble musician also can easily see the spots where he changes the pace, tempo, flow, and feel as he goes through this performance. The band members are awesome in that they watch and listen to each other so that they cooperate.

[@Jinxy44]

I love the jamming effect of a Ren arrangement on the go. Maestro musician. 👍

[@iamlpinthe312]

The Big Push … the band without a frontman, because they’re had 3! Best mates and band mates who put their mutual love and respect for the art and the music above individual egos. They’re all multi instrumentalists and switch off on lead. People of Brighton were blessed indeed with these guys! Wade in the Water/ Nina Simone/ Troubles

[@Diosky27]

that wade in the water video almost had me in tears! All amazing musicians. Wish I could have seen them in person!

[@Anxiety_513]

So glad you checked this one out! It's so good! ❤ Edited to add, check out their cover of bongo bong!

[@guyincognito7442]

Ren has mentioned in interviews that he became absolutely addicted to busking. You can see it in this video, like he was born to perform 10K is soooo close now, brothers! I can’t wait for TDIP reacts to TDIP! 😁

[@belsren]

Yess finally a reactor who picked up DJ Luck and MC Neat. Ren ties up the history and evolution of black music in this performance so smoothly and perfectly. Reggae, hip hop, garage, scatting…he graduated already! Awesome reaction 👌🏻👏🏻 .

I’ve seen so many reactions to this video and have never heard any commentary on that section. Thanks for sharing info about the song! I’m 54 and live in the US and I’ve never heard the song.

[@DavidLindes]

Yeah, I don't think I'd ever heard it before, either -- other than in this cover, but it didn't carry any meaning (no wonder a lot of reactors don't say anything about it, I guess)... but I went and looked it up when they did react, and... now I've heard it, and it makes this more rich. :)

[@jmango2636]

Bongo Bong by the The Big Push is a must next … BTW my new fav crew you two ❤

Great reaction! You guys impress with your insights on Ren ("he's so free with his voice" "he's a student of all music") even though you've only dipped your toe into the deep water that is Ren. Art, music, theater, philosophy, fun. So much fun waiting for you guys.😊

[@portiadavenport9866]

Your two's smiles have made my night. I think you're fast becoming many Renegades favourite reactors you're certainly mine love :) Should be remembered that he had little else to do when confined in his bedroom for 6yrs, but watch youtube videos and teach himself all he could Hahaha most of us Brits were influenced Ska and Two Tone back in the day....the best of times

Been looking forward to this one! You did not disappoint 🙏🏻 It’s refreshing to see someone pick up on the DJ Luck and MC Neat joint!! All the American reactors don’t get it but I knew you boys would!!

[@markhayes4347]

Check that crowd out, this was years ago when he was busking so that's just a standard thursday morning. imagine you're just nipping into Wilkinsons for some bin liners, you walk round the corner, and all of a sudden, you're in the middle of the big pushstock.

[@hummingbirdstones]

You two slay me! What a great reaction! You are correct in that Ren will never play the same song the same way twice. There are a couple of other versions of this on The Big Push's channel. Much love!

[@mstmy7082]

Oh so many of our American watchers just don't know this banger of Neat and Luck, it simply flies over their heads and they're not to sure what to make of it. A true British banger!

You got it exactly right saying if Ren performed that again another day it wouldn't be the same, he's said this before that he vibes with that moment on that day and how he's feeling right then so performances of same songs can be varied ❤ Great reaction guys, can't wait for more haha

Romain Axisa still lives in Brighton, but Gorran Kendall went travelling and the last I heard he was in Spain. They both have their own channels. I heard that the drummer, Glen Chambers, got married and moved to Singapore? Ren has said he is open to getting back together if the others want it. Romain recently played guitar for Ren on live TV There are various versions of Ren performing these songs and they are all different. I think you would love Ren's retake of Back on 74/Message in a bottle
