[@reneeterra9863]

If you wanna hear Rock Ren….you have to listen to The Big Push’s rendition of WAR PIGS….trust you will be BLOWN AWAY!!❤❤

[@BBB_photography_adventures]

yes please!

[@ramonacooper2283]

I was just gonna say that!! Yes! War Pigs in the red suspenders is the best!!

[@zachhenderson7982]

Great pick for sure. Crucify your culture is another good one

[@mrsmith6763]

My first thought too.......🎯

[@PeteFindsObscureStuff]

Also Love Music pt 3 pays homage to Rage Against The Machine too!

[@uriahgentry4989]

That s*** was fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@KylieIsOverIt]

Great reaction, as always! Listen back with the context that the song is almost entirely double entendres about him being sick and frustrated about not finding solutions/getting well while fighting autoimmunity for the last 15+ years. The genius of the dual meaning in his lyrics is, frankly, intimidating. He operates on another level.

[@benstarmes6356]

Yes, spot on! There is almost no line that doesn't come at you from multiple angles, it bears multiple listens to catch and even them it remains badass

[@timflesner663]

And the 4 5 6 cucify a catholic kind of a reference back to the freddy krueger nursury rhyme thing and earlier he started with the 123

[@guitarmuscle6968]

Another great reaction, like a lot of American reactors I don’t know if you got the double meaning of “illest” Rens not boasting about being “illest” as in the best, he’s literally referring too his illness and not being able to be cured so he is feels he’s remaining the “illest of our time”

[@ululaknits2734]

He's fire... he doesn't use the same shish everyone else uses... there's a f@ckin dictionary of culture in there... and he's alternating cadences and rhymes... he's sick! 🙌🏻❤️ love from Argentina. Can’t wait for Animal Flow.. on the 4th..

[@patriciacloix71]

Ren est un surdoué génie une intelligence intelc instruit et j'en passe incroyable ce jeune OMG wouahhhh 🙏👍👏😱😍

[@ceekayy79]

I love the enthusiasm but you're nowhere near through all of his original stuff. There are some really heavy emotional songs that I haven't seen you do like Heretic, Depression, Insomnia and Dear God just to name a few. Every single one of them are 🔥🔥🔥 and yes, several of the live busking videos.

[@MarkTomblin]

Great reaction. Love the enthusiasm. ❤ The Big Push - I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop is definitely where to go next if you want to see another arrow to Ren's bow. However, Animal Flow (a new song!) is dropping soon.

[@lesliehaigh6765]

i shot the sheriff one got be seen to believe

[@greenmonster4918]

'war pigs' immediately followed next in that set, and that's where you want to go if you want to see rock, or his own 'crucify your culture' is heavily Rage against the machine influenced.

[@marleeni1970]

Love your reactions!!! His lyrics are always in pinned comment on his vids :) And he's dropping a new one on 5/5/23 called Animal Flow, cannot wait for it and your reaction!!

[@ThreeShadesofWhatever]

Thank you!

[@jenjenjen2222]

5/4 actually 😊💜

[@philliphall9817]

@@jenjenjen2222 The 4th of May

[@jenjenjen2222]

@@philliphall9817 yes, that’s the American calendar. Apologies if that was confusing 💜

[@philliphall9817]

@@jenjenjen2222 All good just wanted to make sure the date was clarified for other people here.

[@greglecig5549]

Ops = Opposition or “snitch” or “police depending on how you’re saying it - have you checked out the 2 Ren and Chinchilla songs? “Chalk outlines” live and “how to be me” and for more fire rap check “losing it”

[@joeseconi250]

I love both those songs...great suggestion

[@GramadinGG]

I believe OPin' comes from Chicago drill, where you have opposition, they are your opponents, so they're you're ops, aka OPin idk though

[@TheMindOfJeremy]

May the 4th comes Animal Flow, Ren's newest track...CAN'T WAIT!!!

[@kellyt5341]

They had alphabet shaped noodles in spaghetti sauce from the makers of spaghetti-o's. Not sure how long they lasted, but we ate them. The letters were hard to tell apart.

[@TheChristafershawn]

They still exist.

[@BigBob473]

I always love the "Heavy Mercury" (Element is heavy) and "Freddie Mercury" double word play. Awesome reaction as usual guys!

[@stampandscrap7494]

Mercury is also Quick silver.. Silver Tongue is fast.

[@vickyterry3150]

Mercury was also the god of messages, eloquence and communication in ancient Rome.

[@lillyvanpug]

This song is pretty much Ren giving us a tour of his mindspace. He has had such a terrible history with physical and mental issues, looking for answers as to why he is so ill, but he doesn't seem to find it. His doubles in this are amazingly clever. Also, the flowswitches 🤯

[@carlahelin5203]

Thanks for breaking down the lyrics. And your comic inserts crack me up! You also keep me entertained! And the fact you are so excited about Ren makes you guys so fun to watch your reactions.

[@greenmonster4918]

🤣🤣Yeah, you guys are NOWHERE NEAR finished with Ren's catalogue! 🤣🤣 And it's ALL fire!

[@loganbothma9822]

😂"eat your vaggies"👀SNOOK,TFW🤣hey Billy glad to see your hand is cured🙏🏻🥂♥️🇿🇦REN💯

[@dicodec]

Double tracked vocals and the second track has effects on it with slight distortion which creates that undertone you were talking about. Very good production

[@Darf652]

Turn it up to 11 is also a This Is Spinal Tap reference

[@bunyipdan]

Take a look at The Big Push Black Sabbath medley War Pigs if you are chasing Ren Rocking it live.....after that his first major album release was Freckled Angels (it gives an insight into how he developed into the artist he is)

[@peterwilliamson5953]

war pigs deffo

[@bunyipdan]

@Rawrjur Totally enjoy their original material......I don't think you can put Ren in a pigeon hole/genre, guess their live RENdition/Medley of Black Sabbath just sticks out to me cause they really rock it

[@grandmabaddie]

In u.k we have alphabet spaghetti in a can, my kids always made words instead of eating them 😂

[@didierblasco8116]

More Renaissance please and don't forget Chinchilla for more Chinchills

[@davidfaulkner2289]

This guy has more styles to his original music “Loosing it” is over an EDM beat 🤯Make sure you do the right “I shot the sheriff/Road to zion/hip hop” - White t-shirt, Red braces(Suspenders) . it’s important 😂. loving your reactions 👏👏👏

[@Dkiddeh]

Have you seen the Foo Fighters Retake from ren? That would semi-classify as Rock ? Anyway, great reaction once again gentleman! Keep it up

[@palliard]

The Demogorgon of Oppin, I think is saying OP in, or "OP" which is short for "overpowered" in video games. You might say in World of Warcraft, oh this class is OP, or overpowered because they have some stats that when combined properly just kill anyone else too easily(because of poor balance in programming). He's saying he's overpowered, but connecting it to the demogorgon from Stranger Things so it's like he's overpowered in the underworld. It's an amazing rhyme and connection, and I haven't heard anyone comment on this, but I think it's right. I'm loving Ren, I cry watching "Hi Ren" most days, it really cuts to the heart. And don't forget 11, the character, and how SHE is OP in stranger things.

[@nguyenngoc-ee8lc]

If you’re looking for a rock song from Ren then check out The Big Push’s original song Sweet Little Lady. Ren ft Bibi’s Crutch also has a touch of rock on the latter half of the song

[@bpiraeus-p3b]

heh .. bar hunt, man I hope you got all night, the double and triple meanings abound Funny thing about that elevator scene with the out of sync head nodding, Ren had mentioned that it was intended to be in time, but if you ask me, it gives it a much more chaotic feel that fits with the undertone of the music.

[@mothermaclean]

His new song hits Thursday and I cant wait all his next album is hip hop then he's working on rock maybe

[@mothermaclean]

@Rawrjur but in his interview with Justin hawkins he said 16 songs are down the hip hop and he has a catalogue of songs ready for his next album and yes he would like to do rock

[@bradtowell507]

I do believe it's "I turn it up to eleven the Demigorgan of Hawkin." It's the only thing that fits the Stranger Things theme. Great reaction!

[@angelaphillips7970]

He pins the lyrics in the comments to most of his songs!

[@mdtexeira]

'I'm coughing catchy bronchitis' - His bars are the disease which he coughs when he raps, and they are catchy because, well, they are. You are in your funeral coffin because you've caught them. Essentially, he's saying that you're a victim of his talent...he's infected you with the dopeness of his music.

[@robertmuir2904]

Even the song title. Illest of our time. He’s been dealing with illness. He’s ill as in dope. He’s always playin with words in everything. Kid is a genius.

[@SandyNoblitt]

Ren is in his own lane. He is creating a new genre.

[@Tsitrassong]

Ren dropped animal flow, yesterday. It's a must!

[@ThreeShadesofWhatever]

Just dropped our Reaction!

[@chefstar72]

"I pick the world up, I'm squattin." He makes you think he really is. Every Single thing I've heard from this guy. 🚒 🔥

[@joguipo]

Right... Ren himself puts up the lyrics on the comments of his videos. That would be a good way to catch the proper ones. Big love from Spain

[@shazza175]

Loving your Ren reactions! You NEED to hear the two live performances with Chinchilla - Chalk Outlines and How to Be Me. Jaw dropping amazing.

[@dubbayabird6680]

Great reaction ! The band Ren was in, the big push, has an awesome remake of praise you by Fatboy slim. It's gotta be one of my favorites from them

[@mldkenny]

Great reaction to a terrific song.

[@Nolefan.Since.80]

LMAO!! That Lego cut was absolutely epic!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@ThreeShadesofWhatever]

🤣🤣🤣

[@redbandita020]

2:07 well spotted, Billy! Tom Macdonald uses this effect a lot when indicating Beast Mode in songs like "Best Rapper Ever" (his "Hi Ren" equivalent) and "No Response" #RENaissance #HangoverGang #RENegades #HOG

[@PippaHinchleyComedy]

Illest of our time is a double entendre - as in unwell - and illness double meaning and bars throughout!

[@TheChristafershawn]

Ren- Diazepam, Heretic, Money Game Pt 2 , Ready For You, Crutch..........all top notch.

[@hog660]

He usually posts the lyric in a pinned comment on the videos. And if you want a good insight into his story, check out the interview he did with Justin Hawkins.

[@oldmanonthebackporch3349]

My interpretation of the iron lung was it was a reference to his ill health, being the illest of our time. He does have amazing control over his breathing when he sings though. Could be either, or both🤔

[@papacarl2002]

Hell yeah. Dope reaction. You nailed it 17:36 - whatever mood he’s in is the next genre we’re gonna get - it’s like Ren is constantly regenerating and growing. So f’kn glad to have an artist like Ren and killer reactors like you guys to help spread the word. 🤘🏼🎧🤟🏼

[@mercedeswarrenash5929]

Blessed with an iron lung.. an illness will kill him aka polio. But he’s allowed to exist in this moment, but is also held captive by the device that saves his life. How many times are we held captive by the premise that something will save our lives & we allow us to be enslaved by it.

[@rickyfrost8352]

I love watching Ren reactions, they are never boring because everything he brings is new. This makes me excited about music again in a stagnant age of music we now have Ren!!!

[@lynette.]

Watch the Justin Hawkes interview you will learn so much about him.

[@rachelannweissmusic3801]

Loving the reactions, but fr it was choosing a clip of “Robin Hood: men in tights” to throw in that fully sold me. Subscribed! ❤

[@timflesner663]

Thanks for the catching the warriors feel. I keep saying that. And the sound has john carpenter music vibes...like assault on precinct 13, the thing and halloween...while he talksvabout freddy krueger, the sound kinda evokes micheal myers vibes...

[@lisawhitfield9251]

Ren pins his lyrics to every video 👌

[@salishseamermaid]

Ren is in a category of his own.

[@Aurora-cv5to]

In an interview this week he said the album he's working on now is ..............ROCK

[@clintsummers2704]

F’in followed for The Warriors reference! Let’s go!!👊🏻🔥

[@christianemmler6496]

the lyrics are in the first comment of the original video provided by Ren himself

[@docdurdin]

Alphabet pasta, also referred to as alfabeto and alphabetti spaghetti in the UK, is a pasta that has been mechanically cut

[@Swisswavey]

Just so many references to health/medicine in there. Awesome.

[@Jay-br9ee]

You boys must be my age or around that 48 lol! Once Ren comes to America it's going to sell out concerts! Man American people have no idea about him well most don't lol. But I've been in the rabbit hole for the last 2 months and I've turned my daughter and sons onto him. My daughter loves him as do I. I relate 1000% with ren!! The music industry needed Him. He is going to give me faith in the music industry. I really haven't seen no beats like Ren since the GOATs The Beastie Boys! He does it all. So he isn't just 1 genre of music. Rap, Hip Hop, Rock, Classic Rock which is my favorite genre like Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, blues and more genres than all people that like Ren but don't like the same genre of music as each other but both will like Ren no matter if you like rap, hip hop, classic rock and rock and more! THE WORLD NEEDS REN!! So glad .

[@paulashanks3129]

His song Losing It will get you bouncing ❤😊

[@Veeliscious]

Just came across you via Animal Flow and came straight here next as a new sub. Love seeing you so get into it with your excitement and again, love your clip inserts ("Warriors, come out to playaay"😆). One double entendre here many have missed is "Call the Police on the Beat before I damage it" - The beat can also refer to Police "on the Beat", ie foot patrol on their well beaten/trodden path. Right, I've got an appetite now to watch your Renaction to The Hunger..🏃‍♀️

[@mercedeswarrenash5929]

Another reference that is relevant is Chalk Outlines. The cornea is only accurate to 2/3 of our ocular perception. It can expand in the dark but can still only encapsulate 3/4 of our actual experience or existents.

[@Bbowers3428]

Fun fact: Snookie snacks is what you call the clap in the early 2010’s

[@jasonfink1269]

Many different flows in his "I love music 3"

[@simiangimp2282]

Opping is basically a Brit military term, running or performing Operations. Like a stealth mission 😂

[@scs3973]

11.. Spinal Tap reference... "yeh but this amp goes up to 11!"

[@jodiwest3534]

Holy fuck the warriors?? Omg that jerked my memory HARD. I LOVED that movie

[@butchershoppequartet8690]

For me, this song cements his we are human; we are animals.

[@funnywolffarm]

I've just jumped into Ren but Screech is a recurring character theme as well; appropriate that he brought it into this as that character is a thoughtless, action-only actor in previous productions. thanks for the view

[@VincentOReilly-ts4jl]

The Big Push will crush all doubts about rens range

[@dubbayabird6680]

Oh! And he has a new song dropping tomorrow, can't wait for animal flow 😊

[@ChristopherLanier-c7b]

When u know Rens background of working hard to get in the industry and at one point was signed by SONY records YET his illness led to him needing to take an extended leave and thus SONY dropped him. SO he gets to feeling like he's a rap star then damn; he don't feel so good; but with out missing a beat he's up on the roof top- fighting to take his place again as a rap god. I need to have coffee with this gentleman! ReN please come tour the US! I am so happy he is in a position of full artistic control now and not under a lable... he is a lable!

[@PoliticallyPink]

If you guys wanna hear Ren do yet another genre, listen to "Fire." ---aaand there ya go! Dude just said he wanted to hear rock. "Fire" is rock. Like early-80's rock.

[@SIRAssassin888]

Animal flow is coming Thursday don’t miss it

[@feathersz1952]

Ren said the video is based on the book “Animal Farm”

[@amariebfree5326]

Just FYI Ren posts the lyrics as a pinned comment on each video.

[@danitheuerkauf7095]

Ren is the lead in the big push war pigs.

[@StevenJago-j2y]

Love the channel gents , you two have great chemistry and bounce of each other nicely, ren is a master, I've never seen an artist who can swap genres so smoothly, he's a music chameleon, you should delve into him with the big push, does a lovely cover of Englishman in newyork, bongo bong. Different but cool, and as others mentioned war pigs cover,

[@joeseconi250]

I look forward to your Ren reactions they always make me smile seeing how excited you get when you see this amazing artist. I shot the sheriff is a great intro into The Big Push Looking forward to seeing more Ren Peace from NYC

[@LaceyMediaProductions]

Ren puts the lyrics in his comments section... Coughing catchy Bronchitis (catchy as in a song is catchy) you're in your funeral coffin (coughin')

[@jmango2636]

[@Proud.American58]

Great reaction. Love the clips! Anyway, check out Ren’s “Life is Funny”, “Right Here, Right Now”(Fatboy Slim one shot retake), “Genesis”, “Crucify Your Culture” and “Humble”. Still so much more beyond what you’ve done and these.
