This vid just won the IMV Award for both ‘Best Music Video AND Best Director’ 2023. Congratulations to Ren. 💐 Thanks for your reaction. 🎉
Oh wow!! That's awesome. Well deserved!
Wow!!!! Ren deserves this,so happy for him!!!😀👏🎵🎶💖🫶🔮💎
I think the reason not many watched the MG1 and MG2 was because you did them right when Ren dropped the album and there were so many new songs to watch. My guess is once the fever of the new dies down those will be looked at more. Especially now that you have all three. You do great breakdowns of the video side.. it's fascinating.
I paused an ran back gave it a quick watch. One thing Ren taught me is you don't have to blow straight away. Do your best, fully commit, then put it out there. 😎❤️💛💚🖤✊🏿🇯🇲🏴
I think there's more to the story than just indifference by the Renegades.
The YT algorithm did not add Secret's MG reactions to my feed until MG3 today.
I don't know what YT is up to lately trying to shove certain videos and channels down my throat while hiding others from my view.
My guess is that for some reason YT didn't like Secret's videos and denied them exposure to a wider audience.
Agreed. And this has only just come up in my algorhythms, so ima heading back to catch up on MG 1& 2 now
Just came up in mine too. Love the reaction and quickly earned my sub. Going back to watch the others.❤
On this point, UA-cam’s algorithm just presented Secret’s reactions to me. Now I’m catching up with his reactions.
Ren's taking everything to another level.
His imagination and creativity is phenomenal.
I was beginning to lose faith in music, at 63 I thought I'd heard it all. But up pop's Ren and completely blows my socks off. The guy is a genius.
Fantastic reaction fella, subscribed and following for future reactions 👌
Thank you! Glad to have ya here man!
There is so much good music out there. If you can speak French Stromae and Kery James are a must. If not just listen to Dave Santan's music, also from the UK
If you like house/raphop you're gonna like Ren's cover of Fisher "Losing It".
Ren had never spent more than £1000 on a video until this one!
Ren should be a whole course in film school. Like “one takes 101”. This is how you do it.
I just love the details you pick up in your Ren reacts. Please keep doing them. As someone else said, I think your channel may have got lost in the algorithm and the timing of everything around the Sick Boi album drop. I think more and more Renegades will come to your channel. More Ren please!
You got it, thanks!!
Agree!!
Agree x 2
The cut was so they could move and water proof the mic. Moved to his tie. They only had one chance to get the water scene though. He only had one suit and they didn’t have time to allow him or the area to dry to redo. THANK goodness the violinist didn’t move when she got wet….. but of course they paid for her to get new strings.
I saw her start to panic when the water got her but she stood fast. hows the other violinist try to protect his with his hand.
Superb reaction to a great song and video. You picked up on so much of the skill involved in making this not just as a song, but as a performance and the videography as well. You are right about the subtle cut behind the wheelchair as Ren only had 1 suit to get wet so that last part had to work in 1 go. The first part I think he said they did around 30-35 takes to get right. Masterfully done!!
Really great reaction and review dude, one of the best I seen to this song!!
Thank you!! Great insight, that's awesome to know!
Yes & Amen to this. ❤
You spotted the one cut😂~! It was done so they could move his mic
❤Thank you for your insightful reaction, I can tell that you really appreciate Rens authentic storytelling!❤
❤❤ you are such an outstanding human being, such a wonderful eye for everything and a great ability to convey what you see and how you see connections. Truly grateful to have found your channel, your reactions are top tier. Thank you for taking the time to do these❤
What a beautiful comment, thank you so much! Glad to have you here!
Loved your perspective and reaction. I especially love your appreciation for Ren and his team from a production standpoint. I don't have any experience in your field but it is dope to see others that are in the know with production, have amazing reactions to Ren's style and execution. I would challenge one part of your response, Jimmy was not always looking for the latest and greatest because of money and money alone. He was looking to impress his father and gain his father's approval. Getting more money was the way he was trying to accomplish that and the ever changing target to gain his fathers approval is why "it" was never enough. Looking at this as just money being "why" I think misses the mark. Money is the by product, filling a void that was created by your father (in Jimmy's case) or some other part of your past and upbringing, is the why. I hope you dive into more of Ren's catalog, you will not be disappointed. Especially if you are interested in his production techniques. Thanks again, I'll look for more of your reactions.
Love this thought process! Thank you!
Yes,,and then when Jimmy's father died,he went off the deep end bc he no long could win the approval he sought......
The persistence of the expectations our parents put on us?
@@winterladyI never was very religious but some Bible-verses do have a kick-ass bar-vibe for me ( in a Pulp Fiction Ezekiel 25-17 sort of way). What you said made me think of that ‘sins of the father’-thingy. Just looked it up (King James version cos they always seem to pack the most punch😜 ):
“for I, the Lord thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me”
(*me saying ‘yeah!’ out loud right now as I’m pasting and reading this*)😂🔥
PS: to be clear: I actually do respect the content of this verse and kind of agree with its underlying message concerning generational trauma etc - I just don’t need to believe in God to believe in the underlying concept & just happen to find oldskool biblical stuff really cool 😅 😎)
There’s a difference between entertainment and art - this dude is art - you get it. 😎👍
One of the best reactions to this masterpiece that I have watched. Really appreciated your insights! Ren has released a Behind the Scenes video showing how this was filmed and giving some insights into the production. It is a great video to watch if you are interested. Can't wait for your next Ren reaction ❤❤
Thank you!!
You were right about the one cut that they had to do because of the water. It was a real gun, but he did a hand off of the cartridge when the camera panned up and actually put a blank cartridge in or one that had bullets that would not fire from that gun (memory escapes me). If you watch the BTS by Wolf Johnson, you can see how it was all done. Very interesting.
You absolutely nailed the immediate worry felt in the final scene (with the gun), and the rest of the reaction was spot on as well. Subbed. Would like to follow the beginning, middle and end of your Ren journey! ❤
Thanks so much, glad to have you here!
That "trigger control" don't really hit over here in the UK unless you've had access to firearms. 🔥🔥🔥 Reaction 😎❤️💛💚🖤✊🏿🇯🇲🏴
There’s a short out there of the magazine handoff. What was loaded was empty. Which I appreciated seeing. Nice to know he takes care of himself.
Same here!
There’s a behind the scenes documentary about the making of this video on Ren’s channel. I think you might find it very interesting. Brilliant, intelligent reaction, dude. I look forward to seeing many more. ✊🏼🐷 #Renegade
You are one of, if not my very favorite reactor to Ren's music. You do a great job of analyzing everything, from the lyrics to the messages within the lyrics, to the music itself and the videography. Your appreciation for the pure talent that is Ren, comes through and makes your reactions so dope to watch. Thanks for all your Ren reactions 🎉
Thanks so much for saying that! I'm glad you enjoy. Much love!
In the behind the scenes video by Wolf Johnson, it shows the camera tricks where he is able to show a loaded gun, and yet it’s not loaded. He had an assistant change the loaded chamber to an empty one. It’s magical lol
Such an intelligent, informed reaction. Thank you!
Great Reaction!
Ren switched out the bullets before waving the gun around - but you nailed it - it was still unnerving, knowing this.
One cut. Right where you said, behind the chair. Couldn't afford to rent the location for another day if it went wrong, because once the water flows, it's done and needs at least overnight to dry out for another take.The only other opportunity they left themselves was after Ren's piano solo opening, in the blur of the sack coming off of his head, because he was worried he couldn't reliably get a good piano take and a good take of the main section, but they didn't end up needing it, so no cut was present there.
Magazine swap under the table during the closeup of the gun, and a decommissioned gun with no pin (and probably a mid-barrel plug though I'm not sure on that one), but like you said, whatever they did is beside the point; the tension in the scene is _bonkers._ The number of reactors who literally freak out screaming "Oh my god, trigger discipline!!" right there... you got it _exactly_ on the head. Totally intended.
My favorite story though, about this video... did you notice when the sprinklers went, they malfunctioned a little, and started getting the viola player wet? She just very subtly moved her bow and her foot to keep the bow dry. Ren was so proud of her and grateful to her for not ruining the shot, that he paid to have her viola and bow restrung just in case. *That's who Ren is.* And this was _before_ the album dropped at #1 in the UK and he truly made it big, before he had what I'm sure is a pretty amazing amount of money at this point.
He also spoke openly about his own hypocrisy, about how he knows he talked in Hi Ren about how his music isn't commercial and he's not chasing that kind of success, and how Money Game is all about the problems with the mentality of chasing fame and fortune... and yet when it was looking like a #1 chart release was _possible?_ I believe his words, as close as I can, were, "I wanted it. I wanted it _bad."_ He pushed everything he could into a giant and very creative grassroots marketing effort, creating a real-life treasure hunt for his social media followers to go on, called in every favor he's ever been owed, all while _perfectly_ aware of the hypocrisy of it, and how hard he was going, participating in the money game.
Ren is amazing.
P.S. Knox Hill was in the building the first two out of three shooting days. He was supposed to play the waiter with the tray of Champaign, but got swapped out last-minute, but still helped out, hung with Ren, etc.
Dope insights! I didnt know that about the viola player, i gotta go back and catch that.
@@pauzeandrewind Oh, the other reason for the cut behind the chair (because they didn't actually _need_ a reset; they got it in one) was to move Ren's lav mic to the underside of his tie to protect it from the sprinklers.
Another great reaction! Can't wait for the Tales of Jenny and Screech.
Thank you for doing Ren. Your money games didn't show up very well in the algorithms or more would have looked. It is happening a lot I notice. I see one pop up of Ren's and notice it came out 1-4 days ago. He is an independent artist and they are shunned by everything including big labels and the music industry and they have pull on UA-cam as well. Also the high sub reactors are getting dic*ed over by You tube on a normal basis now.
Yeah, I've seen a lot of my favorites go through a lot. A lot of channels lost just in the past week. I'm not holding my breathe for this channel, but I'ma make it a fun ride until the day! Thanks for watching!
@@pauzeandrewindSubbed once I found you. Your reactions are on point.
Three cuts: 1. Beginning when the titles come up. 2. There's something slightly fishy when he takes off the hood and drops it (?) 3. Wheelchair turn. What's remarkable is there is nothing, ever, put inside the frame that doesn't have a purpose. 100%. Also, how'd they get the globe to stop on cue ?? Remote control?? Plus, the easter eggs are great, too. Just brilliant! Thanks for the thoughtful reaction :)
FINALLY: the scene where he spins the globe, continues to rap AND makes his clothes look disheveled (out of frame) and then answers the phone....is incredible timing !! Wow!
I’m pretty sure Sam confirmed there was just one cut behind the wheelchair. The BTS shows how they did it.
I think Ren's carelessness with the gun is in character with Jimmy when he is waving the gun around with his finger on the trigger of the money game. Great reaction.
More Ren Bro... trust the stranger on the interweb... Much more you'll truly enjoy!
Earned my subscription with ypur commentary of Rens work! Please... he has more layers than an onion, More Bars than a Prison!!!
Love the rain, reign, rein, rain demonstration.
Now I am going back to watch your reactions part 1 and part 2!
Yup he did cut behind the chair ❤
Power and What You Want are musts to see by Ren. Not anywhere near as heavy but still great fun tracks.
First time here, will be back for more.
Thank you!
Rain,rain,rain....
He acted out the chorus for MG 1. Therw was one cut behind the wheelchair because of the rain.
So 2 parts ,less than 20 takes for each. The very last part was teuly one take. Ren only had one suit and no way to dry the floor.
This is the last one of the series. Quite fitting.
Gun has been liaded with second empty magazine. But your analysis us right on.
The gun actually missfired. Watching the BTS he wanted us to hear the click. Wide open for further interpretation. A real artist.
Great reaction to this phenomenal video! REN just got #1 artist in the UK!
Ur reactions are very insightful & u can tell that u genuinely understand multiple aspects of music. I hope more people find this channel! 💐 Check out his new album... 19 tracks of 🔥! Seven Sins, Wicked Ways, Sick Boi pt 1 & 2, The Hunger, Illest of Our Time, Genesis, Losing It, & What You Want (his homage to the Beastie Boys). I feel like u would like these tracks because they are more traditional hip hop with bars.
#Ren #SickBoi #MoneyGame #PauzeandRewind
Thank you so much! I'll definitely check out some stuff from his new projects. Appreciate the hashtags!! 🙌🏽
Awesome reaction! I have no idea what to recommend since it's a bit like asking who you're favorite child is. For bars, "Illest of Our Time" or "Genesis." For fast rap just playing around, "Losing It" or "The Hunger." For bluesy, "Ocean." Island vibes, "Murderer" or "Humble." Intense, "Seven Sins." Singing, "Chalk Outlines." Rock, "Hold On." Heart-pulling, "Su!cide" or "For Joe." Criticism, "Sick Boi." Upbeat personal, "Power." For fun, try his 90s hip-hop homage, "What You Want." His whole Love Music series is mostly meaningless fun and word play, (and it gets more & more cheeky as the 4 parts progress).
See what I mean about, "it depends on what you're in the mood for"? Have a good time!
Thanks for all the recommendations!
@@pauzeandrewind add 'Losing It (Fisher Retake)' is Ren raping over a famous Australian EDM track.
Excellent reaction. You are very eloquent. Great insights. Thanks
Fantastic reaction. I've seen a lot of people react to MG3 and this is top tier
That's awesome, thanks for saying that. I appreciate ya watching!
Loved your reaction, but although I am a Musician, and from what you say it sounds like you are too, I thought your comments on the film element were excellent. I actually got genuine insight from a film direction perspective, not many reactors bring that to the table, respect, and subbed for sure
Two trilogies today. Making may way through 😁 This one has the same time as Hi Ren, 9mins 19 sec. Shout out to one of Ren's best friends, the award winning cinematographer Samuel Perry-Falvey. He's done so many of Ren's great videos, including Money Game pt 1, Hi Ren, Sick Boi and you can even see Samuel in one of Ren's videos' Power'.
😁
You would appreciate the BTS of the making of this piece. Cant think of the UA-camr, someone with "Wolf" in the name? Its 90min long, I FFwd through some of it, but its amazing how they meticulously cobbled it altogether. You would love every minute of it.
Yes he did one cut!
One of the best reactions/breakdowns I have watched/heard. You are the first one I have heard mention the dangerous moment when Ren falls back into the wheelchair - makes me cringe every time.
Great work!!
Thank you so much! And thanks for watching.
Great reaction not only to Ren but Sam and the rest of the team too. Going down the rabbit hole with you
Andrew Lloyd Webber of "Phantom of the Opera" fame shared the video with the comment that Ren is a storyteller to watch ❤
❤Great Reaction! Enjoyed your college story about a 💰 debate, perfect. You are an asset "making the calls" and shoutouts for production. Appreciate your passion and knowledge. You will love Ren's new lyric videos, too. 😊🎧
Thanks so much!
Masterpiece is an understatement for this song and video
There's a BTS by Wolf Johnson (a short one of about 40 minutes and a long one about 2 & 1/2 hrs. Renegade me recommends the long one) that goes into depth about what went into this video.
I see mg1 as the history of the money game, mg2 as the political aspects of the money game and mg3 is the individual outcome of the money game. Mg3 physically portrays the first 2: he literally points a mirror at himself at the beginning of the video, the story of Jimmy turns a saint into a sinner and a child into a killer, the globe spins (as the world turns the whole world burns), literal rain (rain rain rain rain rain a storm it comes our way) and he has his finger on the literal trigger of the money game. There is more there too ❤️ Layers!
Damn…your analysis is wonderful. Thank you for your educated perspective.
Thank you!
Remember your comment on MG1… What the love of money drives us to?
For the fun side of Ren: What You Want, Bittersweet Symphony, Power
Rappin REN: illest of our time, the hunger, murderer
Emotional Roller coasters: Suicide, Seven Sins
Definitely eager to see what this "rappin REN" is all about! Thanx for the recs!
Amazing analysis and reaction, another masterpiece from Ren!!
Wow, thank you!
Your experience validates your reaction.
Thanks for a great reaction and insights.
Loved this reaction❤. From his Sickboi album i would definitely recommend "Seven Sins" (you said you love strings), and "Wicked Ways".
You are right about when he cut, this was done in 2 takes because this second part had to be done perfect because if the rain fell wrong they wouldnt be able to do it again.
Ren releases... beginning, middle, end... and after each one, together we're stunned. I love it!
You are 💯 % right about the quality and elevation of this one, such a creative, powerful message! The choice being ours to know when you put the brakes on in life! Love your reaction and the brilliant Ren😊
Looking forward to more of your reactions!❤
man one of my favorite ren reactors. please do all his songs. love how you catch almost everything on your first view.
Always be kind to those that you pass on the way up because you never know who you're gonna meet on the way back down.
Absolutely great reaction, as always. Really appreciate your thoughts on the production as well. If you haven't yet, and have some time, there's a BTS (long version and a shorter version) filmed by Wolf Johnson. With your background and experience, you will likely find it interesting. Good insight into Ren's process and work ethic. It's bonkers. Thanks again!
Thanks so much!
Done in one take too lol. Wild 🤯🤯🤯
Niceeeee ¡!
Some of his more rap rap songs to include in your list
Genesis
Hunger
Losing it
Power
Peace
✌
❤ #Ren
Outstanding
THanks for the insightful reaction. Masterful!
I’ve gotta say. I think out of the 3, this was my favorite story. 2 was my favorite in terms of general song structure.
But I love dude’s approach to music. This storytelling really touches on alot of themes that can be challenging to articulate but dude’s doing it effortlessly.
Another amazing reaction. Here is the link to the behind the scenes of this video.
ua-cam.com/video/CdEFYPef7RU/v-deo.htmlsi=XQh2vrSizde9LyBZ
Ren also has another Channel called “renmakesstuff” where he posts non music stuff. Eg it has him practising with the strings, there’s a video of him reacting to Harry Mack freestyling for him while rikashae draws a graffiti pic of him. Also if u search “Ren a day in the life” there is a short of his days medical wise. “Ren - million subscribers - defining success” shows his thanks for getting a mil but it shows what kind of humble, beautiful person he is.
This is the last of the money game series. There is the tale of Jenny and screech (full) trilogy. He’s making another one at some point. Then for fun tracks there is the “love music 1,2,3,4” series. 🖤
I just commented about the BTS and then found your comment 😂😂😂 Great minds think alike LOL
Because there's only one thing money can't truly buy. Love. And you can fill that hole in your heart with LV bags and 100$ bills and when you wake up, you'll still be missing the human connection we all desperately crave. They say you can buy it, but illusions are not reality.
Loved your reaction and subbed. Excited for your Ren journey, thanks for taking us with you! Can't wait for you to enjoy The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full) my personal favorite anyway. Peace friend.
Thank you!! That one will be next.
Great reaction!❤
UA-cam is all kinds of messed up. Says you only have 254 views, but somehow you got 2.1 THOUSAND likes?!? That’s some funny business game playing by UA-cam. They need to make it make sense. And they really should stop harassing reactors about the content you all provide.
Yeah, I'm not antipating this channel lasting long. Although that is my hope, but you just never know these days with reaction channels!
For me 2hrs after this comment, it says 773 views and 1k likes!
Strang stuff going on in the reactor world. They don't like how ren did it, and are trying to shut down our community (power)
Great reactions bro, one of the best. Subbed
Now that Doc has introduced me to you, I'm going back through previous reactions - I love your analysis and your appreciation for Ren's art. Great reaction!
Thank you my friend for giving this masterpiece the breakdown and reaction it so deserved...have found ur ren reactions top tier and look forward to more! Appreciate ur perspective so much xx
Also chalk outlines you will love great vocals
There's a full video of The Making Of this Money Game 3. I think you'd appreciate it.
Love your reaction, you pointed out some cool details, yeah, one cut, magazine was swapped off-camera also. Funny, I don't think British people think about the gun safety aspect, most don't see a gun for years at a time or ever, they're just not a part of everyday life.
Blind Eyed MC Sessions with Sam Tompkins.
Love your reaction 🔥
Did you know Ren plays the piano. I didn’t until this video
I'll go back and check out your 1&2 now...
👏👏👏👏👏to you too Sir 👏👏👏❤️ My favourite reaction, break down, thoughts on this masterpiece. The more I watch & listen to MG3, the more spectacular as you said, that it becomes.
Thanks so much!!
Loving your reactions!! Thank you 🙏
Thank you!
Seriously loved your input on this video xxxx mad love for you dude x
🔥🔥🔥 Reaction My G 😎❤️💛💚🖤✊🏿🇯🇲🏴
Thanks, G!
Love the appreciation you have for Ren but also the team around him.
Was excited to see your reaction to MG3 after watching MG1 & MG2 just before.
Samuel Perry Falvey has done a number of his videos. Illest of Our Time is one of my favourite videos that Sam has been involved in.
Really enjoying my trip down the rabbit hole with you.
Awesome, thank you! Thanks for checking me out.
Found it! My head was left to right mumbling,”finger off the trigger brother.” My wife pokes her head in the sitting room to see who I’m talking to because she said I sounded “tense and concerned.” Hahahaha. Nothing to do with anything, really, but glad you pointed it out.
Haha real ones know!
POWER!!!!! Please
Wow
Writers matter! Keep writing.
❤❤❤
MONEY IS THE MOST ADDICTING THING ON EARTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😢❤😢❤😢
Great discussion.
Your knowledge of production will mean you'll love checking out the (several) BTS videos. I can see your gears turning about what you can deploy in your future productions.
What an insightful and thorough analysis and reaction. You are quickly becoming one of my favorite Ren reactors. I may even check out some of your non-Ren reactions 🤣
Hahaha I appreciate that man
On this journey with you! Love your reactions so far and he is such a diverse artist, excited for you to see it all!
Loving your Ren reactions! You're so knowledgeable.
Thank you!
They cut at the chair to air out the room and get the rain ready.
You also might want to check out Seven Sins, Animal Flow , Genesis, Illest of All Time, The Hunger. We could go on and on. Halftime a Nas retake. Ren x Chinchilla White Chalklines Live, Ren x Chinchilla How To Be Me, Sam Tompkins and Ren Blind Eyed
I've already done almost all of these 😊 go check out my Ren playlist
Real gun and bullets... see the BTS to see how they switched them out!
Me watching you talk about how you enjoyed Money Game part 1 and 2, and knowing what you’re about to see on part 3 👁️👄👁️
🤣🤣🤣 ❤ much love again
🤣🤣
