Thanks guys! He said this video comes before animal flow where the kidnapped guy is shown tied up in the beginning.

[@woodywoodman2319]

Oh wow... as much as I Love Rens work... I wish he'd have waited to maintain continuity!!! Either way ... Ren is changing the Game!!!

[@chguardi]

@@jhoop842 Ren trusts his fans to figure it out. I like this more than straight line continuity. Ren is everything except point A to point B

[@terrancecaad915]

Makes sense but damn he’s wild. Story telling, being able to just be an overall performer. He’s everything and it’s crazy.

[@darthjoosboxx6267]

Is it Animal Flow or Money Game?

[@Krissiecam]

@@darthjoosboxx6267 He said Animal Flow, but he also said it is all connected in his head, so who knows apart from Ren himself? Maybe it’s both!

[@tylerlove2052]

I think the fact he’s independent is such a big deal because he just does whatever he feels like, and it’s magical! Thanks to social media he can still get his songs out to the public, and we get to enjoy and experience it! Thanks for the reaction!

[@nickgullett6771]

Tom Macdonald does the same!

[@Icclebloo]

That 'murderer' hook is from an old Barrington Levi track - reggae had a massive infleunce on UK subculture in the late 80s / early 90s

[@atwellorama]

I just went and listened to that track, and yeah. Totally. Barrington actually has a short here on YT freestyling it.

[@Icclebloo]

@@atwellorama as soon as I heard it I was like "ooh, ohh - I know that!"

[@DonxKarleone]

Glad someone said it.

[@butchershoppequartet8690]

Ren is Tarantino level in filmmaking. His whole thing is a massive performance.

[@raisnaix]

YOU MUST WATCH his band, The Big Push, doing "I Shot The Sheriff/Road To Zion/HipHop" - it's a live performance busking on the streets. It's AMAZING!!

[@Susu_Laing]

Yeeeees! Would be so cool ❤️

[@jenro643]

Can we also appreciate that Ren's video was a one take shot with no cuts?! Just crazy! lol

[@yilomina2047]

exactly this

[@ildikosos775]

I think there is a cut, when he leaves the building. When camera turns, and we see the wall for a while.

[@jenro643]

@@ildikosos775 Quite possible! But I wouldn’t put it past him to do it in one take. He’s done that a lot in his other videos as well :) Even only one cut is impressive. Music videos nowadays can get so busy I can hardly register the image before it switches to the next.

[@yilomina2047]

@@ildikosos775 It's certainly possible that there's a cut, but one-takes are kind of Ren's thing

[@DenTweed]

Luke Flegg confirmed the through the car window shots are cuts One is very noticable once you see it. Don't read further if you don't want to notice it every time from now on: The car window cut when he exits again (when abducting) you see on the right a blue car some distance away with no car close by (just the blue bins) yet once he is through the car window you see a white car very close by. Also you can feel Ren's abduction timing is off, he's barely at the car when the exiting starts but already at the back of the car when we pan to the back. It's only a short amount of time but it's off

[@Tommy-123]

We have loads of Jamaican influences in the UK. Im about rens age n growin but in the 90s, the pop songs often had a more jamaican rapper rather than American type rappers. I always thought rap was a Jamaican thing until i got into my teens.

[@Icclebloo]

Dancehall reggae was massive in the late 80s / early 90s!

[@DenTweed]

Barrington Levy was also used a lot in the Jungle scene, which is the kind of music that made Ren start producing beats as he fell in love with Drum 'n Bass / Jungle and wanted to make some himself

[@rammie1976]

@@DenTweed yeh this - sure he mentioned he got into it because he heard an Aphrodite track when he was a kid.

[@triggerhappysound]

As someone about a decade older, reggae and ska music/influences were all over the place in the 80s too.

I'm a sucker for some good cinematography and one shot's are like my favorite. This video plus the music was so damn good. Mad props to Ren and his team.

[@redangel169]

I love that his cheeky side shined through so much in this one, some of the lyrics were hilarious.

[@LaurindaTimmins]

Barrington Levy's Murderer - old school reggae feel.

[@slimhanson5792]

As a Metal Head kind of guy I really appreciate Ren's style and how inventive he is,,I agree about the Jamaican style also...thanks for doing this guys...He is a amazing artist.

[@EmmaLuna7]

He’s dropping 1 a week next month! Prepping for the 18 track ‘sick boi’ record

[@vincentscott3558]

That whole video is one shot, his videographer is a real talent too, some of the shots, the movement from the stair to the back seat of the car and back out to the rear of the car , the backwards movement through the window at the start, it amazing. Great reaction boys.

[@SmoofDizzle]

I'm so impressed w/ Ren and his team, I love a good one shot especially in a music video format.

[@kiarasp8190]

There are actually some cuts, the videographer Luke confirmed ! Still an amazing video.

[@vincentscott3558]

@@kiarasp8190 Wow, I never spotted one of them. Thanks for the info.

[@PBaka13]

@@vincentscott3558 I could be wrong but I assume it's the transition in and out of the car. It's too smooth and you never really see the door open, but it's done so well it's hard to tell.

[@ghostfacedkilla2849]

We get it Ren, You can music

[@j4m35reacts]

Ren never misses! Another absolute banger! He has covered some Bob Marley in the past, so yes you are totally right to mention that influence. Love you guys, keep going!

[@blanana_m]

I love this song

[@CaliMorningstar]

I just want to say about the Jamaican and Carribbean influences. The windrush generation were a group of immigrants from the Caribbean that came to the UK in around the late 1940s to around the 1970s. Their culture was ingrained into British culture so much so that a lot of British slang is basically Jamaican slang. We also gained a lot of musical inspiration from them and thats why Bob Marley is held in such high regard here. And to further add on, one of the most iconic artists Britain have produced is Eddy Grant, a British Guyanese artist who also influenced a generation. I'd recommend checking out Electric Avenue by Eddy Grant also check out some songs by Skindred they're a welsh metal band fronted by a Welsh Jamaican singer so i wouldnt be surprised if Ren was heavily influenced by them as he's also Welsh.

[@napitedella7416]

Thanks a lot! Now i can say to my friend that he isn't just trying to imitate the style. I knew Ren had it had some kind of reasoning to it, or heritage etc.

[@DenTweed]

@@napitedella7416 Carribean/Jamaican culture is really ingrained in the UK. Major UK genres (think Ska Punk, Jungle/Drum 'n Bass, Grime, etc...) are directly a product from that influence and also why UK MC's are more like Jamaican toasters than being like US hip hop MC's because of SoundSystem culture and such. This track in particular is inspired by Barrington Levy's Murderer, someone who had big succes in the UK and who also got sampled a lot inJungle (which Ren partly grew up on). This is absolutely no imitation but a serious part of his musical heritage/environment

[@acradic]

I laughed out loud when you said "there must be something after this; he can't leave us hanging".

[@michaellongbottom3331]

I love his stuff because he's not just a great rapper, but he's an amazing singer and he switches it up so seamlessly :)

[@dawnpatterson8708]

This was GREAT guys. Thank you. The song is SUPER catchy. The video is quirky and 100% Ren. Loved it.

[@mcflyjp]

💪👋

[@MegsD79]

Glad you guys are safe! This song is a banger! So excited for the entire Sick Boi album! I think the reggae influence is Bob Marley and Ska bands. Ska was/is still big in the UK. Ren and his old band, The Big Push, have a video on KZbin where they are performing on the street corner (busking) and they do I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop. He sounds so much like Bob Marley in that performance! ❤️❤️❤️ Love your reaction! As hyped and pumped as the rest of us were! Can tell you are true fans of Ren and not just reacting to him for views! That's awesome! You guys going to make a We Know Ronnie AND Ren, You Can Music shirt? Or Ronnie on one side and Ren on the other (like 1 front, 1 back?) 🤣🤣🤣

[@markdrechsler5660]

Jamaica, and a lot of other Caribbean islands, were once British colonies. Some still are, and are members of the British Commonwealth. There were a lot of immigrants going from the Caribbean to England in the 60’s, and reggae became an influence. You can hear it popping up in early punk and ska in the 70’s.

So, i'm only 1:52 into reaction guys and 100% that's the UK, massive Jamaican/Caribbean influences through the communities throughout much of the UK, in honesty no matter what colour we grow up with all these influences and cultures, i'm currently remembering sitting in my mates house front porch chatting making too much noise and being cussed out my their mum in patois - you were quiet quick! lol parties, meals and so many memories but yes musically massive influences of the Jamaican culture in the UK ....back to it!

Hip Hop -- Rap arrived in Britan with the Jamaican community, as well as the influences from USA they also influenced Canada the same way. Check out the songs of Snow (mid 1990's-2000's). Also a white Rapper. Song "Informer" was a favorite of mine back then.

[@tearesa37]

I’m late to this video because of work and the weather here. So much flooding and power outages, but I was so excited for this.

[@Codex7777]

Jamaica was part of the British Empire and remains part of the Commonwealth. There's been large scale immigration from the Caribbean to the UK, especially from Jamaica. The immigration started after WW2 but hit it's peak in the 60s and 70s. As a result, ska and reggae have been a big part of British cultural life for a long time. It even helped bridge cultural divides. The huge ska revival of the late 70s and early 80s where ska became one of the dominant chart genres illustrates this, as virtually all the British ska bands were mixed race. Thus it's no surprise to hear ska and reggae influences in British music and many of those influences are 'home-grown'. Btw, did you know that Bob Marley's father was a white Englishman? :)

[@johnberwyn23]

With Jamaica being an ex-British colony and still part of the Commonwealth, the UK has a very strong link with Reggae. Bob Marley also lived in London for three years and recorded Exodus here.

[@donnakurtz9293]

Love you guys... probably the channel I most come to as you are so fun and have more of the music I have been recently finding (some very late in the scheme of things). This was a lot of fun too... just to try and explain the thing that goes on (at least with me) on some of the music. Like this one. Love Ren. But when I first head this one I was not on board. Generally not any kind of Rap or Hip Hop fan (just missed that whole gig during my life span) but folks like Ronnie Radke and Ren that have introduced it in their own way in songs I like have opened my eyes to appreciate it and love it in context of certain songs ... anyway.. I think the main issue was that without any of that kind of background or understanding of the type of things implied (I have heard something to do with "rap battles") What I was hearing and seeing did not seem to portray the Ren we know and love. The music aside the whole gangster kind of thing... cloraform (sp) and stuffing a guy in the trunk was not expected. All this blabbing to say.. that through listening to a few different kind of reactions (some more specifically take apart the musical layers and others more kind of the ties to what happens and connections to old standard ideas in kind of that rap battle kind of "taken it on" "try me" .. kind of attitude. I have slowly come to have fun with this as well and really enjoy the totality. Thanks guys. You always make me laugh too.
