I saw Hi Ren on the day it dropped. Watched his rise from the start. Amazing to see someone do that without the industry backing him. Just reactors and fans!
Ren has posted about where the video has gone. He bought the beat for Sick Boi off someone in good faith, but has recently discovered that it contained a stolen sample. The original owner of the sample is now trying to extort him for royalties. Ren is perfectly happy to provide some royalties to the owner, even though it's not his fault, but the guy is trying to take more than is reasonable. It's not yet clear where Ren stands legally here.
It's an absolute travesty- he's even demanding Royalties on 100% of the entire album now I understand - absolute greedy Parasite. "Industry is cutthroat..."
He bought a sample, not the entire beat and remixed it too. I'm also pretty sure they're threatening a 100% claim on the song, not the entire album. Still outrageous though, especially as it will affect the album too.
So, the original video has been taken down. Apparently, Ren bought the beat from a guy who stole it from someone else. That guy is now holding this whole song hostage with a copyright claim asking for more money 😮 to be greedy with Ren (of all people!?) Is really sick 😢
He bought a sample, not the entire beat and remixed it. They're threatening a 100% claim on the song, not the whole album and only if Ren doesn't pay some huge fee. Still bad but it's important to get the facts right, especially when legal shenanigans are ongoing. :)
Ren went years misdiagnosed with bi polar chronic fatigue syndrome they had him on meds that caused him to have psychosis he had a recording deal with Sony why working on his album he got sick and couldn't finish it so they parted ways he move back to Wales he would become bedridden for up 23 hours a day it would take years before he would get right diagnosis he has Lyme disease he went so long misdiagnosed he has Brain damage Organ damage Joint damage he also has Mast cell activation syndrome he can only eat few things because his body has allergic reaction to just about everything he eats also he has ADHD too he been in Canada past 2 years getting treatment he had to have IV 5 days a week they put this thing on his head that help open path ways in his brain he take hand full meds 2 times a day Ren play guitar bass drum piano produces mixes his own beats beatboxes sings and can rap he can do any Gener he also great story teller Ren was in band called the big push you should do them please do Precious with video also you should do Money game 1 2 3 tale of Jenny and Screech full video make sure it full please do Loosing it The Hunger Genesis power Ren and chinchilla chalk outlines live how to be me live Ren and Sam Tompkins Earned it/man world/falling also Sam Tompkins dead to me hero live Phone in Heaven Lose it all live Ren what you want seven sins Loco Animal flow Murder Ren ft Edan Nash Humble Occean
Ren has many styles to his storytelling. Lots of commentary on society. There's 'Money Game', parts 1, 2, and 3. There's 'The Tale of Jenny & Screech', a sad tale indeed. 'Murderer' is more of a reggae style single.
❤. Great reaction! Ren can't be put in a genre box. Ren just makes music. Try The Tales of Jenny and Screech (full version) for a full on bardcore experience or How to Be Me live with Chinchilla for great singing. His catalog is just so deep and varied. Just dive in! Thanks for the thoughtful analysis!
Got to jump on the bandwagon here and just agree with everyone else. Ren is fantastic and his writing is just out of this world. So happy you reacted to more of his stuff, would be so cool to see even more. Some of my favorites are: The Tale of Jenny and Screech (watch the complete version with all 3 videos) Money Game part 1-3 Troubles
Oh! For a moment I thought that Sick Boi had been freed. Right now, the only way we can see this video is in reactions like yours. Thank you. Very insightful reaction. #freesickboi
Being misdiagnosed and suffering the effects from treatments and medications and the downward spiral that comes from that, he has a great way describing it in a way that is relatable but also very personal. The RENagades are happy to see you falling in love with this one in a generation artist and that you see what effort he puts in to his art installations.
You seem to be a lovely person. I Ioved your reaction to Hi Ren and really appreciate your authenticity and your willingness to share it with us. Check out the FULL Jenny and Screech trilogy (13 minutes) since you seem to like his bardcore style. Not going to tell you anything about it so you can go in blind.
I love that you give this, and Hi Ren the time to focus on the details, the art, and message. The amazing thing about Ren is that all of his songs are lyrically dense with important ideas and meaning. When I saw Hi Ren, I assumed it was his masterpiece and didn't expect his other work to continue to impress me in a myriad of ways. The Ren journey is deep and wide and all of it will keep continually impressing you. Ren is the epitome of art. -Thank you for sharing your reactions; we appreciate the authenticity in sharing a bit of your humanity. Keep doing what you are doing; you're obviously clever and willing to use it to offer unique insights, for which I again say thank you. PS For a bit of insight into Ren, watch his 1 Million Subscribers video, even if you don't react to it. There are also good interviews he has done with @JustinHawkinsRidesAgain & @TheCharismaticVoice
I really look forward to more of your reactions. I think you'd really enjoy The Big Push cover of I Shot The Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop (red suspenders) It's Ren and his band busking on the street. Musically gorgeous, you'll love it. If you wanna cry some more (and hear a Bardcore story, The Tale of Jenny and Screech 13.5 minute video, 3 parts do them all at once).
Another really great reaction and analysis! Very insightful. I really like that you go back over sections of the song and discuss them. You can lessen so much about Ren from his music! Next I suggest Chalk Outlines (live with chinchilla) and the full Tales of Jenny and Screech (13+ minute version). For more lighthearted What you Want (beastie boys style) and Back in 74/Message in a Bottle retake (sort of a cover/mashup with some of his own rap thrown in too). #FreeSickBoi
I'm *SO* happy that you've brought Ren back to your channel ❤. I really enjoy your commentary and insights, and particularly your willingness to connect with the music on a personal level. You're probably going to get a bunch of recommendations to do The Tales trilogy (which is, for lack of a better term, is Ren's co-Magnum Opus, along with the Money Games trilogy), but I would recommend maybe one more of Ren's "heavy" songs - "Ren x Chinchilla - Chalk Outlines (*LIVE* Version)" because I think you'll connect with it as well. Following that, I think you'd really appreciate another side of Ren, particularly some of his busking, like "Ren & Sam Thompkins - Losing It / Mans World / Falling" (its just 1 video that is a medley of 3 songs). Looking forward to more Ren! 😊
Back on 74 /Message in a Bottle live retake, Fred Again Mashup, Penitence, The Hunger, so so many gems in this man’s catalog Also his busking and him with his former band The Big Push. It’s Magical musical mystery tour and he is about to drop new material from his forthcoming album starting next Thursday the 5th of September.
If you'd like to go further into this video's topic, a natural progression would be his money game series. there are 3 parts, part 2 dropped during the lockdowns, so the lyric version is the one to go with. Or down the medical path his collab with Chinchilla- "Chalk Outlines (live)" If you want a more theatrical, heavy hitting masterpiece, like the high ren performance, then 'The tale if Jenny and Screech' is your ticket. go with the 'official' version, which is just under a 14 minute run time. Violence trigger warning. If you want a personal touch, to get to know some of his past, I think 'For Joe' is a really good one. Fair warning though, it'll make a Biker cry, so don't expect easy. another colab with Chinchilla - "How To Be Me" shares that topic (and is a literally breathtaking performance). For some levity, 'Losing it', 'Power', his Colab's with Sam Thompkins -"Earned it/ Man's World/ Falling" and "Blind Eye", or from his band the big push: 'Bongo Bong' or "I Shot the Sherriff/ Road to Zion/Hip Hop" (
#freesickboi #savesickboi Thank you for you wonderfull reactions to Ren. We never knew we needed someone like Ren until we heard him, feel recognition and connect with his songs. Hi 🙋♀️ and subbed for more Ren reactions, from a dutch renegade...🤗
You need to react to a more fun Ren. He was in a band called The Big Push and they did a lot of busking (street performing) and it was outstanding. From some of your reaction videos I get the impression you would love the musicianship and the raw love they all have for the music. I highly recommend Wade in the Water/Nina Simone/Trouble So Hard, see a different side to Ren and then you can go back to some of his deeper stuff again, can't wait fir Tale of Jenny and Screech, but do something a little lighter from him first, you will fall more in love with him.
Great reaction, there is so much stress around this one at the moment. I hope it gets resolved quickly and the video put back up. #savesickboi #freesickboi #sickboi ❤️
Thanks for reacting - as you may have seen from other comments - Sick Boi is being held hostage by what I can only describe as a greedy, selfish parasite with zero moral conscience who is apparently threatening to claim 100% Royalties on his entire album now, not just this track. #FreeSickBoi #SaveSickBoi
It would be bad enough if they were doing this to different artist, but to do this to Ren, someone who is so generous to other artists, is downright despicable. And it will backfire on kujobeats. He could have had Renegades checking him out, but not after this. No one will ever want to work with him because he's proven himself greedy and untrustworthy. He may get some money out of this, but not near what he thinks. If this isn't resolved fairly, Ren says he will never agree to their terms. He will simply remake the song with a different beat. And then I hope the choir who had their sample stolen by kujobeats sues him over copyright infringement and takes every undeserved penny from him
once again fun reaction! maybe Tales of jenny and screech all 3 partss next? sick boy is good but normally its the road to Rens Rap! tales is his second best youtube in my opinion! eitherway cant ewait for the next one
Right now Ren is going through a legal battle with his song SickBoi. For now, it's been pulled from UA-cam and may or may not come back. His album may also be in jeopardy. #SaveSickBoi More info can be found on Ren's channel in the community posts.
15 years ago I was given my first antipsychotic and suffered severe side effects from it and had to stop immediately. I have tried almost 20 antipsychotic sense with similar results from things like waking up feeling like I’ve been eating sand all night. My throat was so sore and raw I couldn’t swallow and could barely speak. Doctor told me to stop immediately. The next one he gave me two days. My chest muscle started to hurt like ache really bad and on the third day I woke up with my T-shirt wet finding that I had been lactating because the medicine apparently could cause an increase in prolactin Even in men so now I know how my girlfriend felt when she was pregnant at least gave me some empathy. Apparently me and auntie psychotics don’t get along very well. The last ones I was on. I think it was risperidone. Did nothing for me at all didn’t make me feel better. Didn’t stop my delusions or hallucinations Didn’t have any side effects so they kept me on them in spite of the fact that they did absolutely nothing. Let’s just add another pill to my list. I’m not saying that everyone should quit the medication that would be foolish of me. Some people need it to survive but for me personally I was a guinea pig a rat in a maze and was becoming more and more addicted to the medication I was taking. In the lyrics of this song, you hear ren talk about building up tolerance. That’s exactly what happens with a lot of medications for mental health and physical pain. The longer you take them the less they work meaning that they have to increase the dosage regularly or semi regularly and in time the same thing happens you grow custom to them and another increase in dosage until eventually you reach the maximum allowable dosage and then when that wears off you’re taking a medication that is doing nothing for you but you cannot quit because you’re highly addicted it is a horrible cycle and millions if not hundreds of millions of people across the world experience it every day and it is sad with all the technology that we have that we can’t do something so simple as make a decent pill and rely on things like morphine which is now killing millions of people each year across the world we are suffering from a painkiller epidemic taking more lives than Covid could ever possibly take and no one is talking about it. It’s people like Ren who are shedding light on these subjects and God I’m thankful for him
Hi NittPicc - really nice reaction. But in I guess every Ren song you'll find the true lyrics in at least one of the first comments. No need to turn the subtitles on :D - but that's just a subjective suggestion. Your're doing that quite well
I work in the memtal health field. My conclusion is that our system of care, at least in America, is an economic model of care, not a clinical outcome model. Also, he hits on something that absolutely drives me nuts in this field. We are taught to search for and label symptoms. These, "symptoms," then inform us of a diagnosis. This label, this diagnosis, then informs the treatment. And the treatment is? Yup, reducing the symptoms. So we make up names for clusters of human experience and emotions. Then we specifically point to the emotions and reaction to these human experiences as the problem. This leads to blaming the emotions, thus the attempt to eradicate these emotions. And then we internalize these human emotions (and natural reactions to our world and life experience) as the core problem, not the fact that we live in a world that dehumanizes us at every turn.
Can I please ask you to do a reaction to RENS good friend and collaborator Chinchilla with her new song 1:5 live. You won’t be disappointed. Trust me she has collaborated with Ren on songs like talk outlines and this song really shows off her emotional and vocal range. Ren recently referred to her as his musical sibling and I couldn’t agree more
Ren has some copyright issues with the sampler he bought for the song, so he had to take it off his channel. He's trying to solve the problem. By the way: there's a lot of other great stuff by him to react to 😉.
Thank you 🙏❤ NittPicc ❤ for your 🐷 Ren - 💉🐷💊 Sick Boi reaction! #ren #sickboi #sickboialbum And then there is a Sick Boi, Part 2 ua-cam.com/video/xcxm3pCpWs8/v-deo.html
Thanks for a very thorough and insightful reaction. Did you notice that it was shot in the sane room as Hi Ren? There are so many people who can relate to this song. Let's hope that this copyright issue can be resolved. #freesickboi Next song suggestion: The Tales of Jenny and Screech Official. It's a trilogy. Please do the video that has all 3 tales together and not separately. This is Ren in master storytelling mode and beloved by many.
It's my opinion that a lot of Ren's music is all part of the same opera. In that regard, I think this song is an earlier song in the opera, whereas "Hi Ren" was the crescendo. This is early in his treatment for chronic pain, nausea, and fatigue, and they couldn't find anything wrong with him. So, this woman is hitting him with their conclusion that it's all in his head. As you can see he is trying to be cooperative. But his dark and cynical side never believed her, or any of the doctors. It turns out his dark and cynical side was right, as he was later diagnosed with Lyme disease. We see flashes of his dark and cynical side in this as it is my belief that the recurring pig butcher character is his dark and cynical interpretation of his medical caregivers. It's this dark and cynical side that he is arguing with in "Hi Ren". It's also my belief that the reason his dark and cynical side had such power over him, is specifically because it was right about THIS, the most import thing he ever faced in life.
If you want to continue with the "mental" stuff try Chalk outlines or How to be me, for more political stuff try Money Game parts 1,2 and 3, story telling try The tales of Jenny and Screetch, all 3 parts in one sitting and for something completely different Swan Song, that will get you a broad idea of his skills.
I saw Hi Ren on the day it dropped. Watched his rise from the start. Amazing to see someone do that without the industry backing him. Just reactors and fans!
the guy is a genius in my opinion. the tales need to do the whole trilogy. it will blow your mind

Wpuld love you to react to Chalk Outlines live with Chinchilla. You'll hear story in their beautiful powerful singing voices.
❤. Great reaction!
Ren can't be put in a genre box. Ren just makes music. Try The Tales of Jenny and Screech (full version) for a full on bardcore experience or How to Be Me live with Chinchilla for great singing.
His catalog is just so deep and varied. Just dive in!

@@NittPicc Yeah, they want the royalties to the entire album. They won't get what they are looking for.

The RENagades are happy to see you falling in love with this one in a generation artist and that you see what effort he puts in to his art installations.

Can I please ask you to do a reaction to RENS good friend and collaborator Chinchilla with her new song 1:5 live. You won’t be disappointed. Trust me she has collaborated with Ren on songs like talk outlines and this song really shows off her emotional and vocal range. Ren recently referred to her as his musical sibling and I couldn’t agree more
Ren has some copyright issues with the sampler he bought for the song, so he had to take it off his channel. He's trying to solve the problem.
By the way: there's a lot of other great stuff by him to react to 😉.
you gonna love
Ren - Children of the moon
Thank you 🙏❤ NittPicc ❤ for your 🐷 Ren - 💉🐷💊 Sick Boi reaction! #ren #sickboi #sickboialbum
And then there is a Sick Boi, Part 2 ua-cam.com/video/xcxm3pCpWs8/v-deo.html
We love you mate.
Thanks for a very thorough and insightful reaction. Did you notice that it was shot in the sane room as Hi Ren? There are so many people who can relate to this song. Let's hope that this copyright issue can be resolved. #freesickboi
Next song suggestion: The Tales of Jenny and Screech Official. It's a trilogy. Please do the video that has all 3 tales together and not separately. This is Ren in master storytelling mode and beloved by many.
Every style you can think of
Thank you! #Freesickboi
Great reaction. #savesickboi
This one time in band camp 😂
It's my opinion that a lot of Ren's music is all part of the same opera. In that regard, I think this song is an earlier song in the opera, whereas "Hi Ren" was the crescendo. This is early in his treatment for chronic pain, nausea, and fatigue, and they couldn't find anything wrong with him. So, this woman is hitting him with their conclusion that it's all in his head. As you can see he is trying to be cooperative. But his dark and cynical side never believed her, or any of the doctors. It turns out his dark and cynical side was right, as he was later diagnosed with Lyme disease. We see flashes of his dark and cynical side in this as it is my belief that the recurring pig butcher character is his dark and cynical interpretation of his medical caregivers. It's this dark and cynical side that he is arguing with in "Hi Ren". It's also my belief that the reason his dark and cynical side had such power over him, is specifically because it was right about THIS, the most import thing he ever faced in life.
If you want to continue with the "mental" stuff try Chalk outlines or How to be me, for more political stuff try Money Game parts 1,2 and 3, story telling try The tales of Jenny and Screetch, all 3 parts in one sitting and for something completely different Swan Song, that will get you a broad idea of his skills.
Ren is 34
