This is just MESSED UP!!! | REN - The Tale of Jenny & Screech | RAPPER REACTION | & Commentary

[@RenMakesMusic]

Appreciate the reaction man! Subbed!!

[@pauzeandrewind]

Much love, G! It's been an absolute pleasure getting to know your body of work. Really glad your fans came through with the recommendations. Thanks for all you do, and I can't wait to check out more. I hope 2024 is a year of continued success for you! 🙌🏽

[@davideastham]

Happy New Year to you Ren. Thank you for everything you do. Much love and mushy peas.

[@thehangingparsiple5692]

It's a great reaction ❤

[@KarriSimone]

​@@pauzeandrewindGod I love the actual connection between Ren and his supporters/fans. It really feels as if he is my mate from across the pond. I trust people who really like Rens music😅

[@JoeYo77]

So he read a clipping in the local paper about a night walker getting killed and finished with its such a shame. I think he found that disrespectful and he turned it into an amazing song I guess giving Jenny the proper respect. She deserved it music so everyone’s interpretation, but she said something on those lines.

[@Bearlissimo]

In the lead up to this, Ren released a "Screech Instagram Stories" in which Ren returns to London from a gig, has his phone stolen by a hooded youth, then the remainder of the day was "Screech" using Ren's phone... It's a ton of additional context in the lead up to "The Tales".

[@pauzeandrewind]

Oh wow! Layers!

[@Bearlissimo]

@@pauzeandrewind it's actually on UA-cam if you search for it.

[@MissyGail4eva]

​@@pauzeandrewindAs RENegades, should one expect nothing less as we tumble down the rabbit hole? 🌈ᥫ᭡

[@RoarinRoots]

Ren is a artistic connoisseur. He has some amazing new creative ways to promote stuff. That in self could also be considered an art. There was one for this track so realistic that Ren actually wound up getting cancelled and lost loads of subscribers over. Then they found out it was a promo for the upcoming release.

[@Bearlissimo]

@@RoarinRoots that's exactly what I'm talking about, only without spoilers.

[@jasonremy1627]

That reaction to the end of Violet's Tale. We've all been there. It's unreal how good a story teller he is.

[@JoelMyaer]

Great reaction again! Wait until you think about this.. Jenny was 14 too & walking in high heels late at night on a path she's walked 1000 times before?? And later, with Patrick not being home and Screech's girl was 'busy' at the same time??

[@pauzeandrewind]

Crazy!

[@TheBorderRyker]

Layers 👌🏻

[@Dsdnv]

Generational trauma. Jenny was indeed 14 years old just like Screech but her life probably wasn't very glamorous either. What kind of 14 year old has walked streets thousand times wearing high heels..?
I think it's pretty insane how Violets tale starts with depictions of child abuse but still manages to get darker and darker as it progresses. First you hear in very graphic detail what Stevie does to her, then as you're already devastated, you hear about the pregnancy. And then the ending hits you like a ton of bricks and as you process what you heard and start tying all the details together, the first two parts become so much worse.

[@pauzeandrewind]

Yeah, I was wondering about the high heels part myself. Wow, just crazy to think about.

[@DusCostea-kt1dg]

Both his friend and girlfriend weren't available to help Screech because they were together 😜

[@MissyGail4eva]

​@@DusCostea-kt1dgPatrick was indeed a very naughty boy, lol. 🌈ᥫ᭡

[@robmarar]

@@pauzeandrewind Here's a little info on London city. The Sussex Gardens area in Paddington - is considered one of the capital's most notorious red light districts. Late at night this area would be a playground for street walkers & muggers, plus when Ren wrote this, knife crimes were & are on the rise. ✌

[@dapablo2]

as an aside maybe Patrick being away was why his girl was busy?

[@Shiroar]

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. And Ren uses this ability to shed light on far too real issues.

[@aura81295]

"Ren is an exceptional story teller" - you said it all right there. Great review. Thank you

[@Pablopax4]

Ordinarily, Police in the UK don't go around armed with acoustic guitars, I believe they are a special unit that deploys on a murderer hunt.

[@pauzeandrewind]

🤣

[@kellyt5341]

🤣.... Usually not armed with acoustic guitars. Screech wished it was just the cops strumming a pretty tune on his acoustic guitar.

[@kellyt5341]

@@EvilTwinOfSteveG Remember that cartoon or show when someone grabbed a big breath to blow the dart through the wood straw? Except the person on the other end of the straw blew it back through the straw and it went down the original blowers throat. Bugs Bunny comes to mind for some reason.

[@AlSnoopsReid]

@@EvilTwinOfSteveG 🤣🤣🤣 Yea and they always have a recorder handy just in case you confess, 😉😉😉

[@himynameis3664]

This is pure art. Never mind the superb guitar playing. The epic camera shots and use of instruments as objects in the video. And of course the epic tragedy told. Makes the whole thing a work of art, in a totally different class to 95% of music today

[@thehangingparsiple5692]

I personally think Ren deliberately incorporates outside noises as part of his scene setting. That clatter as he leans against the door in the alleyway at the start, for example; it makes us jump, it makes us feel something is about to go down. But maybe I'm talking total sht 😂

[@anaiswinter9893]

I absolutely adore the extra sounds........the door sound, the cough, later the seagulls........and I could just listen to him play guitar or piano on end. It´s a shame I live in Germany and will probably never see a performance......but I get these live performances. Genius. And currently my hyperfixation. My friend tries not to roll his eyes when i talk about Ren-related stuff endlessly. I try to reign it in but sometimes my autism just says "fuck it"......he has to tell me to stop talking......then I will, very politely.

[@Scoggie]

Who's violet has become a staple of every reaction video of this series. I love it

[@cardbuddy4988]

Ren should sell Who’s Violet? t-shirts.

[@cardbuddy4988]

Jenny did not do alright though. She was a hooker. High heeled shoes, walking the streets a thousand times, Screech threatening to slice the “rosy” off her cheeks was likely the bright blush she had to wear to look older than 14.

[@francesdoll4039]

Ren has said he spends hours of meticulous mixing to get the sound he wants in these videos And in the Big Push busking videos.
He does a great live 360⁰ event of this trilogy. I think you would love watching that. He put out an invitation on Instagram and had people guided from the train station toca secret location. Magic ensues

[@pauzeandrewind]

Oh that sounds cool!

[@NightFogFilms]

​@pauzeandrewind You can also click and drag your mouse around the video for different angles, hence 360. It's really cool.

Quality reaction again mate 👌 I love Ren and his music and you’ve definitely become one my favourite reactors to his stuff! I’ll try spread the word of your channel in the comments sections of Ren related videos. He has a hardcore following on UA-cam so it might send some traffic your way and I know they’ll appreciate your reactions like I do. I’d recommend doing ‘Ren X Chinchilla…Chalk Outlines (live)’ as your next one on the Ren reaction train. Safe bro :)

[@pauzeandrewind]

That would mean a lot, thank you! It's hard getting my videos to show up anywhere. I appreciate you. Thanks for watching!

[@MySnottyattaC]

Havik, you came up on my feed 2 days ago -really happy for it....guess the algorithm led me here. I've seen countless reactors watching this trilogy about Jenny, Screech & Violet. I so appreciate your thoughts both regarding Rens storytelling but also your view on the actual video and how it's made.
Yes, such a mess...these 3 people they didn't had a chans, did they?. There's many of us that survived a life of domestic violence and abuse: the more we talk about it less shame will surround the topic. I hope you're up for more Ren!
There's an amazing catalog of his music to choose from.

[@whisperingfist]

I've seen a lot of reactions to this song, and I'm really pleased that you identified Screech as a victim of tragedy too, as this is often missed, with him being painted solely as the villain. He's a 14 year old kid who's clearly had a shoddy upbringing, and you can see how devastated he is by it when he tries to speak to his friend Patrick and then his girlfriend won't see him, just when he needs some support and reassurance. Don't get me wrong, what he's done is fucked up, and there's no walking away from that, but essentially he's a scared kid who acts a lot tougher than he actually is. I really like that you got that, when so many others appear to miss it.

[@sampanther8854]

Excellent 👍👌👏 you get it.. ❤✌️

[@russ12358]

Your reactions are really the best. You bring so much to the analysis. The song, so much beyond just rap. The choreography of the video AND the camerawork itself. And life stories. You bring the whole picture together in breaking down a Ren video. Great job.

[@user-wt7yw7xk1n]

The best visualization of this story. Your'e quality

[@brettharper4763]

Ren has said that Screech and Jenny’s tale was inspired by real life events. He wrote Violet’s tale years later to give some sort of closure to their story. He’s a fantastic writer and storyteller but he also pays attention to every detail in his music videos.
As for next thing to watch, Murderer or Loosing It are my favorite newer songs that he’s done but he also just dropped a video called Eden that I think you’d enjoy.
Also, HMack dropped a new Beardyman colab video that is fire.

[@pauzeandrewind]

I'll be checking those out, thank you!

[@MissyGail4eva]

​@@pauzeandrewind Yes, it was initially loosely inspired by a news article Ren read in passing, in which a woman had been killed in a robbery gone wrong, and then later the suspect was killed whilst attempting to be apprehended. What stuck with Ren was the young age of both the victim and the suspect, their proximity at death to one another, and the senseless nature of the whole debacle. This was then echoed by the final quote in the article attributed to the policeman who had pulled the trigger, "It's such a shame". That's why the line "It's such a shame" is carried through so many of Ren's songs with storylines, not only 'The Tales', but also 'The Money Game' trilogy, coming into a collective full circle in the last lines of TMG3,
"Here's the words of his father, it's such a damn shame.
Then he presses on the trigger of a money game."
(oh, btw.. this was my first reaction to you and I'm delighted by your enthusiasm and your nuanced perspective..for myself, authenticity is the key to these reactions, and you, my dear sir, are so genuine you're minted. Subscribed. 🌈ᥫ᭡

Very authentic reaction. I’ll be back. ✌️

[@Clarkchapin]

I’d love to catch your reaction to Losing It - Fisher Rap Retake by Ren. He raps over Fisher’s popular EDM track, but it’s Ren just splashing his skills and interwoven music and pop references throughout. Key though is the insane number of rap callouts and references throughout. Pauze & Rewind could really sleuth those out and I think you’d get off on how obscure and layered in they can be. You may even need a spreadsheet.

[@mldkenny]

Great reaction to this most amazing performance. Ren is such a unique human being." Chalk Outlines LIVE " with Chinchilla is a must and so is " How to be Me " ( also Live ) just brilliant.

Your channel was recommended by Disco Doc who is the best Ren reactor and reviews other reactors. I really liked your reaction, you appreciated both artistic and technical aspects. This story is common, it happens everywhere every day. Domestic violence generates the most murders in the world, and there are unfortunately countries where it is legal for idiotic religious reasons. I subscribed.

[@mistyramsey1840]

He gives a whole Quinton movie right here with a flash back AND a twist ending 💥 What I've always wondered was, if Violet was being molested, were the twins the result of that or were they Stevies? "Violet, she fell fast"... he never says how long her and Stevie were together before that night in the hospital so there's a possibility of the story taking an even darker turn. It's the most masterful piece of music I've ever heard ❤️‍🔥 I love seeing reactors like you, who can appreciate all the beautiful details from the use of the environmental acoustics to just the sheer dopeness of those guitar solos. Nicely done 🤘
