Never forget this: One reason we renegades love you is because it’s like you’re having it for your first time… Ren virgins… And it reminds us of our first time which was so exquisite.
This... This is why I watch the reaction. I love the reaction at the end. You can literally see the gear grinding behind the eyes as the consequences are being calculated. It is amazing
"It's like he listened to every single conceivable artist in the World and said 'F' you lot...said 'nah'...I'm gonna do this" - totally love that! Really love your reactions!!
Yes! That! I've never heard such an amazing and true description of the RENgenre 👏🏼 So happy you found REN and we found you! Loved it when you said he inspired you two to go straight away to the booth and/or taking the mike with you to the kids! 😅 Great reactionS, new subscriber!
@@bonnievonbraun6276and they’re gonna go nuts when they buckle into the Money Game trilogy and then go back to K*jo Beatdown! I’m so frikkin here for the descent down the rabbithole, take my money now boys! 😍
@@dontpanic5507 that's the thing with Ren, there's so much to choose from lol but these boys seem to like Ren's bars and production. Plus, The Hunger is only a 2 min video. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Losing It would be a good one next actually. They've done Sick Boi, Hi Ren, Kujo and Jenny and Screech so something a bit more light hearted would be welcomed.
Nobody gave Ren permission to film there. His philosophy is to ask forgiveness rather than permission. Someone apparently screamed at him to shut the f up when recording Jenny's tale. Violet's tale was filmed in the bike shed basement of a friend's apartment block in Brighton, where Ren lives. Ren was a busker for years and developed a skill for drawing people in. I reckon you should do Back on 74/Message in a bottle retake next. Just one recent example of many of how the man can sing too.
Wow ... You said, "I don't think I've heard anything better". My guys, you are in for a treat ... I said those same words several times on my journey through Ren's catalog. More Ren please :)
Next I recommend you watch a live performance of Ren busking with his band The Big Push to actually blow your minds just a bit further. 🤯🤯🤣The video title is: "The Big Push - I Shot the Sheriff / Road to Zion / Hip Hop" Get ready to watch Ren perform live & sing a beautiful Mash-up of Bob Marley, Damian Marley, & Dead Prez. and with you both being true Hip Hop heads, Knowing the OG's that came before you, allows you to appreciate the way Ren spit's that famous Dead Prez. classic hit "Bigger than a Hip Hop" released 1999". So, before you dive into the deep end of Ren's world of art, I Highly Recommend you watch ((Ren get his Reggie On)). You'll both love it. 👍 Peace from ya boy in Canada. ✌
Yes! Yes! Yes! It is one of my faves!!! Can you imagine having been there for a street concert & having that memory! I grew up in Austin, Tx in late 80’s & early 90’s…..music scene was amazing. Now it’s ridiculously commercial (ACL Fest is so 🤮🤮). I used to go to free & cheap concerts all the time. Good times!
As usual nobody gave them permission to film. It was the building where a friend lived, the hospital bed was set up in the bike room. The reason Ren has his knees up is that they got a kids hospital bed and didn't notice till they assembled it.
Annnndddd that’s why we wanted to see your eyes 👀 😂 Isn’t he amazing!?!?!?! So glad y’all are loving the journey! Welcome new Brothers Renegades, TDIP fam.
This is easily one of my favorites! Love y’all’s reactions ❤ you should checkout Ren’s band - the big push - I shot the sheriff/road to Zion/hip hop. It’s unreal
You're sat there in your Jamaica shirt, not watching Ren pay tribute to the great Bob Marley. Guys c'mon, you won't be disappointed. Big Push - I shot the Sheriff/ Road to Zion/Hip Hop.
I have seen many comments in hundreds of reactions that claim this cat is a true 1 of 1. From the young to people in their 70’s. I truly believe it. He’s definitely a generational artist. We might not see another as good and diverse in our lifetime.
My favourite bit is the guy in blue glasses clocking the finite detail of how good the camera work is during the story telling masterclass. Bravo guys, you smashed it
Yes. Ren IS The Modern Shakespeare. Our new Bard. And I think you're right. During those 9 years when Ren was so disabled by his illness, could barely get out of bed for long patches, I'm sure he was studying just about every type of music on the planet! And THEN... he synthesised all the bits he liked into his own REN-GENRE! Masterpiece for sure.❤
Ren can also beat box...Ren doesn't ask permission to film..he says he would rather apologise than ask for permission...plus he has a good relationship with the police in Brighton they all know him 😂 great reaction guys❤
Great reaction guys, I'm 62 been into music all my life. I've played in bands etc. Ren is the best I've ever seen!! I think the schools will be kicking out Shakespeare, and studying Ren's lyrics in GCSE English Literature at some point in the future. They filmed these at night in Brighton, and it took several attempts to get right, many of the issues were car alarms going off, sirens, and someone shouting "shut the fuck up" 🤣along with the difficulty of the whole live performance from both Ren and Sam the camera man.
Probably my fav Jenny and Screech reaction and I’ve probably watched every one ever done. You guys really see the amazing talent we are witnessing before our eyes. I loved your suggestion that Ren has likely watched every style, genre, of music current or past, and fused all of that into the music, theater, performance we now see as purely REN!! He really is his own genre. And delivers messages to mankind. It’s crazy!
This is Ren in Bardcore mode. I saw a video somewhere where he performed this live in the streets and scenes from the Tales were set out along the way to where he was playing. It was amazing. Going down this rabbit hole is a trip. Great reaction!
Yeah, it's the first (earliest) video under the Live tab on Ren's channel. The actual performance is also available as a 360° video among his regular videos. That one is great since you can look around and spot the little kids singing along to Screech's foul-mouthed lyrics. 😂
One of Ren and Samuel Perry Falvey's (his friend and videographer) long term aims is to get a series on Netflix. I reckon he'll get there now his health is improving. You have got so much more of his story and music to go. Deep hole you've fallen into. Here's an idea... "Troubles" next.
This is where my Ren journey began years back. This is what solidified him as a true artist in my mind. A new school bard of sorts. So glad you found him. He is brilliant.❤
You two have no idea how much I’m enjoying watching you guys realize what the hell you got yourselves into and discovering the wonders of this dude. We’ve all been there, but none of us can experience him for the first time again, so watching others do it is the next best thing there is. I’m here for it! Also, look at those sub numbers, brothers! Up up up!
You are fast becoming one of my favourite reactors to Ren . Kudos to you both . Thank you for a great reaction . I will leave any recommendations to others , i know i will enjoy all. Sending ❤ to my fellow 🇬🇧
Lol he doesnt get permission. He just does it and hopes no one interrupts. I like hoe he uses the lapel and cam mike and spaces between them and the space in the room in violets tale to create that reverb and sound. It's actually insane control and knowledge. Its genius.
Best Ren comment ive heard in 5k reactions... Ren took ALL THE ARTISTS IN THE WORLD ,,,,,, AND ONE UPPED THEM ALL....... LIKE CATLIN CLARK..... WNBA ,,,,,IS THE LAST THING I EVER WOULD HAVE GUESSED HAD MY ATTENTION 😮😂❤🎉🎉❤
Ren is a modern day bard painting such vivid imagery with his storytelling that it pulls you in and forces you to keep watching - even when it gets physically uncomfortable during Violet’s Tale. And Ren uses this ability to shed light on far too real issues in the world. Ren is special. Also side note: thank you for taking off the sun glasses. I rarely watch reactions where the reactors cover up parts of their face. I’m here to see the reactions after all. Anyway a little more constructive feedback: please pause when you have something to say cause I can’t actually hear what you’re saying over the music 😅
100% - I wanted to add this too. We WANT to hear what you have to say and if you talk over/under the track it diminishes OUR experience of tuning in for your experience of the videos 😊
Yoooo, I wanted y’all to watch this one next! ❤ The storytelling in this is CRAZY! 🤯 I can watch this over and over and never get tired because Ren puts you in like a trance with his storytelling/acting. 😂 You can never get the first-time watch back, but watching others seeing it for the first time is JUST as exciting! 👏😄 Ren is something special, man! Looooved y’all’s reaction and how you were speechless by the end! 😄🫶
Great reaction. It is from this that many dubbed REN’s genre as “Bardcore.” I’ve often stated that he spins this tale so well that upon hearing it, Shakespeare would clear his players from the stage and offer it up to Ren. Incredibly heartbreaking tales, performed in such a beautiful way. Just brilliant.
Ren is a student of the game, he listened to every other artist and said, I like this that so-and-so does. I like this that so-and-so does and on and on and on and took all of them and he’s a conglomeration of music history. You can tell by listening to a lot of his really good raps. He is truly a generational talent.
Not only has he listened to the music but he’s read the stories too. George Orwell, Dylan Thomas, Aldous Huxley, Kurt Vonnegut (his personal favourite). He’s not just “clever” or “talented” - he’s put in the hours and he’s extremely well read. Those years stuck in his room were spent productively, you can tell. He’s made diamonds from coal.
😅🤣♥️ Love it! Told y'all he was special! In Jenny's Tale you will see someone out on a balcony or something. I think people are use to Ren filming out on the street at this point lol! Patiently waiting for the next one guys!
I have been following REN for a few years now, so glad you’re turned on to him. He will definitely jump on a pod with you guys. I will put the word out. Bigups I am subscribed now.
One more reaction and you should hit 10k subs. Thats the Ren effect. Word is getting out to the Renegades 100k is not out of the question by the time the journey is over and then he is releasing a new album with a new version of the tales. 😊
Oooh boys you have quite the journey ahead of you 🤣 I LOVE watching peoples reactions when the penny drops!! Awesome reaction, can't wait to watch the rest of your Ren journey! ❤️
Great reaction!!! I’m a new sub here as a huge REN fan so glad you guys are really understanding REN is an incredible artist watching all your REN reactions and your reactions are just so good can see so genuine too!! Keep them coming nice to see you guys from 🇬🇧 too
This reaction was great and gents, I sure as hell hope Ren gets on the cast. Someone shared this in his Patreon, so chances of him seeing it are super high. I'd love to see it Also, your faces at the culminating line of Jenny's Tale were GOLD *chef's kiss*
Absolutely the best reaction I've seen to this song and believe i have seen plenty enough, subscribed just tofollow you on your journey down the rabbit hole with this true artist
You guys are fantastic, you earned a sub. He has so much in his bag that you have not seen yet. I think it’s time now you start looking at some of the other stuff, that you will enjoy. One of my favorites of his is the song, Genesis, then you have Murderer, illest Of Our Time, The Hunger, Animal Flow, and my absolute top favorite Ren song of all time, which is a vivid description of his journey through his teetering faith while going through his health problems. The song.” Seven Sins.” is an absolute masterpiece of flow changes and descriptive storytelling, absolutely bone chilling. And I didn’t even recommend any of his collaborations with the artist chinchilla which once you’ve go down that rabbit hole, their collaborations are phenomenal, but she’s a phenomenal artist as well.
I am really enjoying watching your fall into the Rabbit Hole. I am reliving my own journey through your eyes and genuine reactions. Further Up! Further In! there is so much more to discover
I’m loving binging your Ren reactions!! Amazing when we find new reactors, who know their stuff, who we can go on the Ren journey all over again with. Love you guys! 🥰
Another fantastic reaction to an incredible piece of theatre. Just one man with a guitar and he can take us through every emotion. There’s so many versions of Ren to explore. Enjoy the ride❤️
Love this reaction! Welcome to the world of Ren!!! There is so much more to see, you can't even imagine what this guy can do, and the thing he has been through.♥
Great reaction. Since finding Ren I've experienced a feeling that is so rare and mind-boggling, more than once. The feeling of "i just witnessed something so profound, which carries the weight and satisfaction of a classic work of art, and the guy who did it is my age and his genius brain is still ambitious and full of potential." It's an exciting feeling to have your faith restored in creativity and in the capabilities of people.
Your reactions at the end were perfection! My favorite part of watching Ren reactions, are the expressions on peoples faces when it hits them! Check out Chinchilla, too guys! She and Ren are musical siblings. If you haven't already, Fingers (Live) is a MUST. It's the one with the red background in the thumbnail.
Brothers, brothers brothers brothers. What a reaction I have seen a lot of Ren reactions over the years. This has to be one of the best. Welcome to the family boys. Big love from Western Australia’s biggest renegade.
Wish you guys were tapped in a year ago when he was chasing #1 album in UK. He was neck n’ neck with Rick Astley toward the end, but the Renegades pulled together and made Sick Boi top of the UK charts! Man, that was a special time 😊 You should do a reaction to the video of Ren and his mates listening to the radio the moment it was announced! 🥇
It is SUCH a joy to see you guys go on the journey I myself and all us Renegades have gone on. It is a wonderful thing to see the awe I still feel every time with Ren reflected in you two. Also, thank you so so much for not wearing dark sunglasses while reacting to this.
Amazing reaction - authentic & insightful ❤ Do hope Ren sees this reaction because of just how much you appreciated what he created. Looking forward to seeing your future reactions.
You're definitely up there with knox as my favourite reactors. Tdip for the vibes and knox for the full breakdown analysis. The tales of jenny and screech will always be my favourite to watch reaction-wise. I'll never get that first experience back, but i love watching as the penny drops for others when the twist hits at the end!
Can't wait till you guys get to the good stuff! lol, it's all good stuff...don't forget 'The Big Push' a band he worked with for some time, performing on the streets of Brighton in England.
Okay, I've only just started watching this but I have to say, I think it's right back when you did Kujo Beatdown you said he's a story teller. I laughed cos you were so spot on, & yet you could have no idea how right you were until you watch The Tale of Jenny & Screech.
Hi first visit to you guys and really enjoyed your reaction. I'm addicted to watching reactions to Ren, especially Hi Ren and Jenny & Screech. I tell ya you are in for such a treat as you experience more Ren and I'll be here to see it all, your going to love it 😃
Ahh I loved your reaction and I've watched 100's of Ren reactions , yours is definitely in the top. I love seeing people discover Ren for the first time , the rabbit hole is really deep and I'm here for it 👍
You guys have the best Ren reactions. The back and forth between you is great to watch, and you do a great job of taking the whole of the production in between you.
Found you through Ren reaction video's. Sharing the love.❤️👍😄👍 Liked and subscribed. Loved your reactions! THIS IS MY FAVOURITE REACTION TO JENNY AND SCREECH!
Loved your break down, not sure if anyone mentioned it yet but these three segments are single take videos, no cuts.... discuss! Looking forward to the rest of your journey...
Just some info.. Ren came up with the original tale of "Jenny" after reading an article in a news paper about the murder of a prostitute in London by a young lad, someone commented in the article "It's such a shame", which is why it is so prominent in the song. Violet died in 2005, the tale of "Jenny" was released in 2019, which is why Screech and Jenny are 14 years old n the song. Jenny was 14 years old and walking the streets of London in high heels indicating she was a "working" girl ("she'd walked these streets 1000 times before"). Screech got his nickname from being "quick on his feet", "screech" being the sound trainers make as you dodge and run on an indoor training court. "The blade that could slice concrete" was actual a line in a tv advertisement in the 80's/90's IRC on late night shopping channels. When Screech tries to meet up with his girlfriend and she tells him she's busy, she was busy (cough cough) being with Patrick (Ren confirmed this) The tales are a generational story of abuse and the victims of abuse, Jenny much like her mother kept quiet and accepted her fate in silence and resignation, Screech was reactionary and quick to anger just like his father. What many people fail to understand is that Screech although the "obvious" bad guy in the tales, he was only 14, he had been brought up in foster care or an orphanage, he was obviously not being given the help/support/discipline he needed at that age in that situation, and from the moment he fatefully turned the corner and met Jenny face to face everything he did was fear, adrenaline fueled reactions to a situation that rapidly spiralled out of his control... Suffice to say, Screech was the bad guy, but he was also a victim as well, and I think that, that is the whole point of the story Ren tries to get across "It's such a shame". (copy pasted) loved your reactions!
Ren is definitely a modern day bard! This has been one of the best reactions to the tales that I have seen and I have seen a lot! Much love y’all!❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
You got me locked in guy's. I've subbed for the journey. I know you're gonna like his Fred Again mashup. Jeezzs you've a long journey to go with Ren, I'm so here for it! ❤ from D in the UK 🇬🇧 oh yeah BTW you are quickly becoming one of the best UK reactors imo.❤
Wonderful, thank you! It's so incredible watch those pieces through your eyes. And you are so right! The Boi can compound a fable, indeed! Gilliam Renspeare! 💙
Ren does a rare music genre called bardcore. It mixes elizabeathen/victorian style composition with modern musical influence. I was in a punk metal band in the 90s and we wrote a bardcore song, it was extremely difficult and complex with so many working parts that we never did it again.
I love the way he does the winding back of time and then takes a moment to shake it off like it was unpleasant to time travel and even more so cause he knew this story already and it's a freakin beast!
New to the channel! Great reaction guys! Welcome to the Ren- rabbit hole! Don't know if you guys know but Ren actually has a Number 1 album in the UK! Keep up the great work guys! Love from Bloackpool 🇬🇧
Can’t wait to see more from you two!! I hope Ren sees your reactions. Watch his 1 Million subscribers video to get insight on him as a person. Watch his Bittersweet Symphony Retake (music video, not the newer live one). Think you’d appreciate the Ode to Britain.
First, this was one of the best reactions of Jenny, Screech, and Violet. You guys are Gr8!!!
What’s really funny is that hospital room was filmed in an apartment building’s bike shed.
@@CarlosPeligro3 facts
Agreed
Agreed ❤️. London folk get it.
@renmakesstuff

This... This is why I watch the reaction. I love the reaction at the end. You can literally see the gear grinding behind the eyes as the consequences are being calculated. It is amazing
So true
FACT!!
So true! ❤
100% true! Anyone who watches and connects with it like we do is special and part of the Renegade community.... x
"It's like he listened to every single conceivable artist in the World and said 'F' you lot...said 'nah'...I'm gonna do this" - totally love that! Really love your reactions!!
Yes! That! I've never heard such an amazing and true description of the RENgenre 👏🏼
So happy you found REN and we found you!
Loved it when you said he inspired you two to go straight away to the booth and/or taking the mike with you to the kids! 😅
Great reactionS, new subscriber!
And they haven't even done any of the "Love Music" series yet . . .😄
@@bonnievonbraun6276and they’re gonna go nuts when they buckle into the Money Game trilogy and then go back to K*jo Beatdown! I’m so frikkin here for the descent down the rabbithole, take my money now boys! 😍
YES!!! THIS!
Exactly what I thought! He's got skills and is in a league all his own!
If you're a fan of RnB, you might like Ren's cover of "Back On 74/Message In A Bottle".
It’s sooo good!
YES! My favorite singing Ren AND AMAZING backup vocalists!!!
I loved Back on 74/Message in a Bottle.
One man with a camera, one man with a guitar, and one of the most captivating and compelling pieces of storytelling you've ever seen.
Do 'The Hunger' next. He showcases his rap ability. The guy is unreal.
I think The Hunger would be good or Losing It would be fun to see, even Halftime would fit in nicely to shake things up for them a bit.
@@dontpanic5507 that's the thing with Ren, there's so much to choose from lol but these boys seem to like Ren's bars and production. Plus, The Hunger is only a 2 min video.

Again great reaction, generational abuse is a scurge on humanity. Ren once again highlighting the topics in a way that we all get in real life. ❤
His Nas retake is next tier 🎉🎉
@@MajorMumwett I am keeping up with these two and look forward to whatever path they take. Getting to know them better.
Nobody gave Ren permission to film there. His philosophy is to ask forgiveness rather than permission. Someone apparently screamed at him to shut the f up when recording Jenny's tale. Violet's tale was filmed in the bike shed basement of a friend's apartment block in Brighton, where Ren lives. Ren was a busker for years and developed a skill for drawing people in. I reckon you should do Back on 74/Message in a bottle retake next. Just one recent example of many of how the man can sing too.
I agree that they would likely enjoy the 1974 Retake. I would also suggest his old band The Big Push busking and performing I Shot The Sheriff.
Please do back on 74 message in a bottle 🙏 😅❤
Damn, I got that mixed up, I thought it was during Screech's Tale - when he shouts out "And they call me fcuking Screech". Oops.
Is that the animal flow hall???
Wow ... You said, "I don't think I've heard anything better". My guys, you are in for a treat ... I said those same words several times on my journey through Ren's catalog. More Ren please :)
Check out "losin it'
Yes. Every song he releases is my new favorite song. ❤
One of the best quotes ever - "It's like he listened to every single artist in the world and said, "fuck you lot!" "
Nice one.
Very nice
Absolutely! To a tee!
Facts tho
Next I recommend you watch a live performance of Ren busking with his band The Big Push to actually blow your minds just a bit further. 🤯🤯🤣The video title is:
"The Big Push - I Shot the Sheriff / Road to Zion / Hip Hop"
Get ready to watch Ren perform live & sing a beautiful Mash-up of Bob Marley, Damian Marley, & Dead Prez. and with you both being true Hip Hop heads, Knowing the OG's that came before you, allows you to appreciate the way Ren spit's that famous Dead Prez. classic hit "Bigger than a Hip Hop" released 1999". So, before you dive into the deep end of Ren's world of art, I Highly Recommend you watch ((Ren get his Reggie On)). You'll both love it. 👍
Peace from ya boy in Canada. ✌
I agree - it's such a different side and equally as good!
This right here
The one with red suspenders!!
Yes! Yes! Yes! It is one of my faves!!! Can you imagine having been there for a street concert & having that memory! I grew up in Austin, Tx in late 80’s & early 90’s…..music scene was amazing. Now it’s ridiculously commercial (ACL Fest is so 🤮🤮). I used to go to free & cheap concerts all the time. Good times!
My sentiments exactly!

Appreciate you Courtney! ❤️
@thedreadinitpodcast i agree with Courtney. You should check out some Pig Push. That's the band he used to be in. You are going to be blown away 😂
Make sure you do the big push 'I shot the sheriff' vid where he's wearing the red suspenders, thanks courtney, my favorite!
You're sat there in your Jamaica shirt, not watching Ren pay tribute to the great Bob Marley. Guys c'mon, you won't be disappointed. Big Push - I shot the Sheriff/ Road to Zion/Hip Hop.

You’ve seen nothing yet, this is just a sweetener, keep it going, he has a massive catalogue.

Yes. Ren IS The Modern Shakespeare. Our new Bard.

Masterpiece for sure.❤
And you ain't seen nuttin yet!! Bro is more versatile than any other artist I've ever seen.
Ren can also beat box...Ren doesn't ask permission to film..he says he would rather apologise than ask for permission...plus he has a good relationship with the police in Brighton they all know him 😂 great reaction guys❤
I so glad you're enjoying him as much as the rest of us are. Ren is unique. 🦄
I LOVE watching people react to this it always blows peoples minds 😂❤
Blind Eyed with angry car park attendant, it shows exactly what Ren is all about. he is a special human.
Great reaction guys, I'm 62 been into music all my life. I've played in bands etc. Ren is the best I've ever seen!! I think the schools will be kicking out Shakespeare, and studying Ren's lyrics in GCSE English Literature at some point in the future. They filmed these at night in Brighton, and it took several attempts to get right, many of the issues were car alarms going off, sirens, and someone shouting "shut the fuck up" 🤣along with the difficulty of the whole live performance from both Ren and Sam the camera man.

Same here! ☮️💙😎
No one in theworld is doing what Ren does I’m 63 he’s phenomenal
Yoooo, I wanted y’all to watch this one next! ❤ The storytelling in this is CRAZY! 🤯 I can watch this over and over and never get tired because Ren puts you in like a trance with his storytelling/acting. 😂 You can never get the first-time watch back, but watching others seeing it for the first time is JUST as exciting! 👏😄 Ren is something special, man! Looooved y’all’s reaction and how you were speechless by the end! 😄🫶
Great reaction. It is from this that many dubbed REN’s genre as “Bardcore.”
I’ve often stated that he spins this tale so well that upon hearing it, Shakespeare would clear his players from the stage and offer it up to Ren.
Incredibly heartbreaking tales, performed in such a beautiful way.
Just brilliant.
Ren is a student of the game, he listened to every other artist and said, I like this that so-and-so does. I like this that so-and-so does and on and on and on and took all of them and he’s a conglomeration of music history. You can tell by listening to a lot of his really good raps. He is truly a generational talent.
Not only has he listened to the music but he’s read the stories too. George Orwell, Dylan Thomas, Aldous Huxley, Kurt Vonnegut (his personal favourite). He’s not just “clever” or “talented” - he’s put in the hours and he’s extremely well read. Those years stuck in his room were spent productively, you can tell. He’s made diamonds from coal.
“Let him cook jackie” is the greatest thing I’ve ever heard on a reaction
😅🤣♥️ Love it! Told y'all he was special! In Jenny's Tale you will see someone out on a balcony or something. I think people are use to Ren filming out on the street at this point lol! Patiently waiting for the next one guys!
I have been following REN for a few years now, so glad you’re turned on to him. He will definitely jump on a pod with you guys. I will put the word out. Bigups I am subscribed now.
These tales from Ren are 🔥 and your reactions are 🔥 .. thanks guys.
Omg iv been on a ren rabbit hole today, and hand on heart deff my fav top 3 ❤ love your reaction, keep up the awsome content 🐷
One more reaction and you should hit 10k subs. Thats the Ren effect. Word is getting out to the Renegades 100k is not out of the question by the time the journey is over and then he is releasing a new album with a new version of the tales. 😊
We want to remain humble 😂 10k is still the goal cos ANYTHING can happen!
@@thedreadinitpodcast humble??? 🤣
Title of a banging track by Ren. Check it out x
Oooh boys you have quite the journey ahead of you 🤣
I LOVE watching peoples reactions when the penny drops!!
Awesome reaction, can't wait to watch the rest of your Ren journey! ❤️
Great reaction!!! I’m a new sub here as a huge REN fan so glad you guys are really understanding REN is an incredible artist watching all your REN reactions and your reactions are just so good can see so genuine too!! Keep them coming nice to see you guys from 🇬🇧 too
I just subbed to
@@Finley-fish let’s go! let’s support these guys too, road to 11k by the end of year now 🙏🏻🙌🏻
Down the Ren rabbit hole you go. Just consider. Most of Rens work are filmed as one take shots. Brilliant work.
This reaction was great and gents, I sure as hell hope Ren gets on the cast. Someone shared this in his Patreon, so chances of him seeing it are super high. I'd love to see it
Also, your faces at the culminating line of Jenny's Tale were GOLD *chef's kiss*
Absolutely the best reaction I've seen to this song and believe i have seen plenty enough, subscribed just tofollow you on your journey down the rabbit hole with this true artist
And remember: this is all just his voice and a guitar! And all were done in 1 continuous take! Pure talent and imagination!
Great reaction! Love it! lol
Blows your mind when you first watch this video! One of my favorite reactions to this!
Everytime i hear one of these songs i cant help singing along. The whole story is so sad, but the art is beautiful
I have watched hundreds of hours of Ren reactions, and this ranks near the top of my favorite reactions to Ren. Beautifully done. Subscribing.
You guys are fantastic, you earned a sub. He has so much in his bag that you have not seen yet. I think it’s time now you start looking at some of the other stuff, that you will enjoy. One of my favorites of his is the song, Genesis, then you have Murderer, illest Of Our Time, The Hunger, Animal Flow, and my absolute top favorite Ren song of all time, which is a vivid description of his journey through his teetering faith while going through his health problems. The song.” Seven Sins.” is an absolute masterpiece of flow changes and descriptive storytelling, absolutely bone chilling. And I didn’t even recommend any of his collaborations with the artist chinchilla which once you’ve go down that rabbit hole, their collaborations are phenomenal, but she’s a phenomenal artist as well.
I am really enjoying watching your fall into the Rabbit Hole. I am reliving my own journey through your eyes and genuine reactions. Further Up! Further In! there is so much more to discover
Back On 74 Message In A Bottle retake !! Animal Flow !! Humble!! Oceans!!
I’m loving binging your Ren reactions!! Amazing when we find new reactors, who know their stuff, who we can go on the Ren journey all over again with. Love you guys! 🥰
Another fantastic reaction to an incredible piece of theatre. Just one man with a guitar and he can take us through every emotion. There’s so many versions of Ren to explore. Enjoy the ride❤️
Can’t wait to see your reaction! This is one of my absolute favourte Ren songs…commenting in excitement before you’ve even started haha
Love this reaction! Welcome to the world of Ren!!! There is so much more to see, you can't even imagine what this guy can do, and the thing he has been through.♥
Great reaction. Since finding Ren I've experienced a feeling that is so rare and mind-boggling, more than once. The feeling of "i just witnessed something so profound, which carries the weight and satisfaction of a classic work of art, and the guy who did it is my age and his genius brain is still ambitious and full of potential." It's an exciting feeling to have your faith restored in creativity and in the capabilities of people.
Your reactions at the end were perfection! My favorite part of watching Ren reactions, are the expressions on peoples faces when it hits them!
Check out Chinchilla, too guys! She and Ren are musical siblings. If you haven't already, Fingers (Live) is a MUST. It's the one with the red background in the thumbnail.
Brothers, brothers brothers brothers. What a reaction
I have seen a lot of Ren reactions over the years. This has to be one of the best. Welcome to the family boys.
Big love from Western Australia’s biggest renegade.
I fully got chills re watching this with you guys! He’s something special is our Ren 💚
Wish you guys were tapped in a year ago when he was chasing #1 album in UK. He was neck n’ neck with Rick Astley toward the end, but the Renegades pulled together and made Sick Boi top of the UK charts! Man, that was a special time 😊 You should do a reaction to the video of Ren and his mates listening to the radio the moment it was announced! 🥇
It is SUCH a joy to see you guys go on the journey I myself and all us Renegades have gone on. It is a wonderful thing to see the awe I still feel every time with Ren reflected in you two.
Also, thank you so so much for not wearing dark sunglasses while reacting to this.
Amazing reaction - authentic & insightful ❤
Do hope Ren sees this reaction because of just how much you appreciated what he created.
Looking forward to seeing your future reactions.
You're definitely up there with knox as my favourite reactors. Tdip for the vibes and knox for the full breakdown analysis. The tales of jenny and screech will always be my favourite to watch reaction-wise. I'll never get that first experience back, but i love watching as the penny drops for others when the twist hits at the end!
That's our Sick Boi a Genius and a once in a generation Artist🔥 Ren must be protected at all costs!!!❤🤍❤
Loved this reaction ❤. Glad you gave Ren another chance. If you wanna hear Ren do R&B, check out his "Back on 74" retake
Bardcore! No one else is like Ren! Loving your reactions! ❤
Can't wait till you guys get to the good stuff! lol, it's all good stuff...don't forget 'The Big Push' a band he worked with for some time, performing on the streets of Brighton in England.
Ask him he would probably do it I've never seen somebody so kind and helpful truly a good guy
I love seeing y’all’s eyes.
Thank you guys for sharing y’all’s energies with the world.
Ren is the guy of this decade. Our man.
Okay, I've only just started watching this but I have to say, I think it's right back when you did Kujo Beatdown you said he's a story teller. I laughed cos you were so spot on, & yet you could have no idea how right you were until you watch The Tale of Jenny & Screech.
Hi first visit to you guys and really enjoyed your reaction. I'm addicted to watching reactions to Ren, especially Hi Ren and Jenny & Screech.
I tell ya you are in for such a treat as you experience more Ren and I'll be here to see it all, your going to love it 😃
Appreciate you joining up with the TDIP Family, Julie!
K&S ❤️
He done each one live and one take on each tale! They always do the filming on the sly and hopefully it goes well!
Ahh I loved your reaction and I've watched 100's of Ren reactions , yours is definitely in the top. I love seeing people discover Ren for the first time , the rabbit hole is really deep and I'm here for it 👍
You guys have the best Ren reactions. The back and forth between you is great to watch, and you do a great job of taking the whole of the production in between you.
Found you through Ren reaction video's. Sharing the love.❤️👍😄👍 Liked and subscribed. Loved your reactions! THIS IS MY FAVOURITE REACTION TO JENNY AND SCREECH!
Loved your break down, not sure if anyone mentioned it yet but these three segments are single take videos, no cuts.... discuss!
Looking forward to the rest of your journey...
Just some info..
Ren came up with the original tale of "Jenny" after reading an article in a news paper about the murder of a prostitute in London by a young lad, someone commented in the article "It's such a shame", which is why it is so prominent in the song.
Violet died in 2005, the tale of "Jenny" was released in 2019, which is why Screech and Jenny are 14 years old n the song.
Jenny was 14 years old and walking the streets of London in high heels indicating she was a "working" girl ("she'd walked these streets 1000 times before").
Screech got his nickname from being "quick on his feet", "screech" being the sound trainers make as you dodge and run on an indoor training court.
"The blade that could slice concrete" was actual a line in a tv advertisement in the 80's/90's IRC on late night shopping channels.
When Screech tries to meet up with his girlfriend and she tells him she's busy, she was busy (cough cough) being with Patrick (Ren confirmed this)
The tales are a generational story of abuse and the victims of abuse, Jenny much like her mother kept quiet and accepted her fate in silence and resignation, Screech was reactionary and quick to anger just like his father.
What many people fail to understand is that Screech although the "obvious" bad guy in the tales, he was only 14, he had been brought up in foster care or an orphanage, he was obviously not being given the help/support/discipline he needed at that age in that situation, and from the moment he fatefully turned the corner and met Jenny face to face everything he did was fear, adrenaline fueled reactions to a situation that rapidly spiralled out of his control... Suffice to say, Screech was the bad guy, but he was also a victim as well, and I think that, that is the whole point of the story Ren tries to get across "It's such a shame".
(copy pasted)
loved your reactions!
Ren is definitely a modern day bard! This has been one of the best reactions to the tales that I have seen and I have seen a lot! Much love y’all!❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
Yaaaaaaay! One of the best storytellers out there!
You've quickly become my absolute favourite reactors! Your insights coupled with your top tier comedy is pure gold!
You got me locked in guy's. I've subbed for the journey. I know you're gonna like his Fred Again mashup. Jeezzs you've a long journey to go with Ren, I'm so here for it! ❤ from D in the UK 🇬🇧 oh yeah BTW you are quickly becoming one of the best UK reactors imo.❤
Wonderful, thank you! It's so incredible watch those pieces through your eyes. And you are so right! The Boi can compound a fable, indeed! Gilliam Renspeare! 💙
I love your reaction! The “let him cook” got me pressing the subscribe button 😂
Ren does a rare music genre called bardcore. It mixes elizabeathen/victorian style composition with modern musical influence.
I was in a punk metal band in the 90s and we wrote a bardcore song, it was extremely difficult and complex with so many working parts that we never did it again.
Ren and the Renegades call this style bardcore. Because he is like an old timey Bard who used to travel around and tell stories
I love the way he does the winding back of time and then takes a moment to shake it off like it was unpleasant to time travel and even more so cause he knew this story already and it's a freakin beast!
New to the channel! Great reaction guys! Welcome to the Ren- rabbit hole!
Don't know if you guys know but Ren actually has a Number 1 album in the UK!
Keep up the great work guys! Love from Bloackpool 🇬🇧
Great reactions fellas. Remember. All ONE takes....Hes unique....A British treasure. 😊
Its nice to see UK reactors who understand his accent too 😂❤
Can’t wait to see more from you two!! I hope Ren sees your reactions.
Watch his 1 Million subscribers video to get insight on him as a person.
Watch his Bittersweet Symphony Retake (music video, not the newer live one). Think you’d appreciate the Ode to Britain.
