I've never seen an artist with a more genuine character, soul, heart... those of us who truly LOVE Ren, mostly derives from his personality, the impeccable art is a super bonus (at least to me). Enjoy the Ren Rabbit Hole Rollercoaster Ride! Only advice, always expect the unexpected!
Renegades have welcomed you into our masses. You may not be prepared for this next stage of your life... but you won't be able to help yourself. We'll be with you on this journey!
There are 2 very distinct times in a person's life, the time before discovering Ren and the time after. The best part about it is that you don't only find the artist of a generation, you also discover his tribe who will be with you every step of the way. Welcome to the bookclub my guy. ❤
There are some reactors I can tell are going to become RENegades just based on their first reaction to him, but a person's reaction to Hi Ren always seals the deal, sooooo welcome to the Ren family! We will be here for your journey. When we say he can do any genre and arrange them in ways you would never even imagine would work, let alone hit genius musical levels, it is not hyperbole. Most exciting and original musician to come around in decades, and one who is always 100 percent authentic. Subbed for more!
Ren is a poet for the people, a teller of morality tales, a bard for the current era, a philosopher, a composer, a director he covers all genres with aplomb. It's no surprise that a huge number of his fans are old geezers like me and older ladies. We grew up with real music and real musicians so we know how to recognise greatness when we see it. If Ren continues as he is going he will become possibly the greatest ever certainly in my life time.
Oh WoW i made a comment pertaining tho THIS but my goodness YOU put it oh SO very much more elegantly **Luvit** just **Beautiful** Thank YOU ever so for making my day **Brighter** **PixieHugz&LuvzALL**
Right?!! Hat why I love this man! We have seen dozens and hundreds and hundreds of Ren reactions and whenever we get to say somebody did something that’s the perfect reaction, it hat says something! His dude has got this!
Welcome to the RENaissance! Ren has more layers than an onion, more bars than a prison! Just when ya think ya have him figured out... the next track shows that ya Dont! Lol Buckle up... and enjoy the Ride! From now on... everything will be like... "Before Ren" & "After Ren" !!!
I loved what you said at the end that so resonated wowed me. You said "I understand why everyone is so supportive of him. Not only as an artist, but as a person because it's one and the same.".
Yep - we always sound unhinged when we say these things, but Ren *is* music; Ren *is* art. It lives and breathes through him. It's like it's all swirling around inside him at every moment, overflowing into however many times per day he picks up a guitar or sits down at the piano to fool around on it or sings a few lines of a song or plays with some rap lyrics he's been working on. Most astounding thing I've encountered in 51 years on this planet. Context: I'm a classically-trained (amateur) pianist & have played for 45 years, also studied French horn and orchestral percussion for a few years as well as sang in a madrigal ensemble.
Careful! This is not a rabbit hole; it is a goddam warren. There is Ren the acoustic storyteller with his "Bardcore" music. Then there is vocal Ren with his amazing duet collabs. Check out Street Ren busking with Sam Tompkins or his Band The Big Push. Of course there is Rapper Ren who can spit wisdom with the skill of Em and the heart of a poet. His pure Hip Hop is sublime. I could name some more genres but he can do it all.
You are 100% a Renegade now. I only discovered Ren a few weeks ago, and I've fallen deep into the rabbit hole. Thank you for such a beautiful and honest reaction. I watch quite a few Ren reaction videos each day, as I can relive my own 'first time' over and over again. It's great therapy. Welcome to the club :)
Between Ren, the reactors and the kind and supportive fan base, I have learned there are still alot of fine people in the world. Welcome to the Reniverse/Renaissance. His music and his story will help you through your struggles. ❤❤❤
There is nothing like a genuine Aussie, or a Kiwi who can say it like it is.. it seems to be in the down under DNA. Much respect from across the ditch. I am a long term Renegade who discovered Ren from day 1, have watched and supported literally hundreds of reactions to Ren and continue to do so. You are bang on that this is a unique community that have supported and pushed a unique artist with the most humble of attitudes, huge heart, and resilience. I am of the much older generation and have to say that Ren is the most inspiring artist of my lifetime. Subbed to watch you deep dive. Some suggestions from me for more of his back story, (aside from reacting to) are his Chapters 1 - 8 on his channel where he relates his journey through illness as only Ren can do. (be prepared - emotional); and his video 'One million Subscribers - defining success. These will give you an insight to an amazing human being and why we love him so much. Great reaction btw. Kia kaha from NZ.
What a great reaction, your speech at the start had me smiling so much. I don't know why your video in particular did it to me, because I've seen so many reaction and had gotten over the emotional response for the most part, but I started tearing up when you pointed out that he has done something great, because he has come so far since releasing this song and He really has connected with so many people, and earned a #1 Album in the UK with Sick boi. He's such an amazing human being. I'm so excited to see you go on your Ren journey! ❤
New sub here from Arizona, I'm here for any and all Ren reactions. As a 54 year old music lover my whole life, Ren has reconfigured my mind for the better and REN-EWED my heart & soul by making me really hear music for the 1st time in my life! Thank you for the great reaction! what an amazing journey awaits you!😁
If you want his story and many other peoples in song hip hop style Troubles is a good track of his released in May for Millions MISSING month For singing Back on 74 message message in a bottle retake 240 tracks on his channel its hard to pick where to start For a quick intoduction to Ren maybe his 1 million subscribers thank you speech from last year which is quite short Or one of many interviews with him on his YT channel varying length and focus Great reaction btw

OH & yes i can not wait to go down the **Rabbit Hole** with ya OH Ren was also in a duo called **Trick The Fox** early on so ya get to see baby Ren at some point heh
Following Ren is a form of therapy for many. You will quickly realise you are not alone, acceptance is key and hope is real. On top of that you are now part of the Renegade family (affectionately called the Book Club). We try and be an extension of the light that Ren sends out into the world. Ren is a masterful artist. But most of all he is a beautiful human being.
Sick Boi is back online, so that should be your next listen. After that, The Tales of Jenny and Screech, then for a little more rap flavor, go Genesis.
One more thing….THANK YOU!! You can’t understand yet, (though really, you are learning quick I think,) that there is nothing better than experiencing this with someone. It makes us feel like; “we are all human beings.” Getting to watch someone with identical emotions that we feel. And is there anything more important? To have witnessed his suffering had made us all feel like, huh, “Wr are normal! We are no longer alone in the battle we call life.!” And you will hear us, and have talked about his health issues. Anr any of us with a history with Ren, and we have watched and heard all wr can about what he went through, we aren’t joking when we say that most people have no idea what physical and psychological suffering is, and they need to spend 3-10 hours learning about what the last. 15 years have been like for Ren. Having signed with Sony right when his illness started, and then them having to part ways with the company, his career trajectory would be way different had he not got sick. The world may already know him as well as some of the greats and that was taken from him. But then again, his suffering is what brought us all together; so we, and even he, think It may have been worth it. That this his where he was meant to be at this time in his life! I almost feel bad for overwhelming you with all of this, but I can tell I think, you can handle this. You have got this my friend
Love your reaction man 👍 Ren is a genius, became my favorite artist of all times ! The rabbit hole is so deep, wide and full of masterpieces, you'll see ... Tremendous artist, so talented, in everything... Enjoy the journey, it's fantastic, you're gonna be blown away, reaction after reaction 😍 I subbed to see you dig the rabbit hole 😉 Thanks 😘
The Renegades are a force of love and support 😂 But it’s all because that is exactly what Ren inspires. If you want to understand why we all love him so dearly, check out his 1m subscribers video on defining success. Ren is not just a brilliant artist but a genuinely good human being who wants to inspire positive change in the world. And a little help to guide you on your journey: While I’m sure plenty of people will tell you to react to the trilogy of tales in the correct order, it is often overlooked that there are a few other songs best done in order of release (though doesn’t have to be in one sitting): Freckled Angels -> Suic!de -> For Joe. Hope to see you deep down the Ren rabbit hole with the rest of us 🐰🕳️
Also now that you have seen this masterpiece, can you believe this is the man Kujo and his greedy lawyer tried to go after? Not only is Ren highly intelligent, but he is a beacon of hope for so many people. He is a relatable voice for everyone dancing in the darkness as he eloquently, with all the authenticity of someone who is painfully familiar with it, lets us know that we are not alone and inspires us to accept our human imperfections while we keep dancing. And in doing so, Ren has literally saved lives with his art. Imagine wanting to take anything away from him?
There's before Ren which had millions of unique and other artists throughout history.......The there's finding Ren and going on his and our own journeys where ever it takes us.........Cheers for reacting and you have all his friends to react to as well. There will be tears shed and every other emotion along the way.....
Bro we as people understand ren not because he famous not because his songs are commercial. It’s because of all of out connections. Look at the comments. Look at how much all these people can see the bigger picture. I’ve never met a fan base like this complete strangers yet they alll are the most beautiful people I’ve ever seen. I reacted to hi ren and explained my story. You know wat happen every single fan hmu and said I want alone and made me feel better about my self. That’s the power of ren he makes us all connect and for that I love you bro welcome to best fan base ever
Ren has shown such vulnerability, and has proved that rather than looking weak, you come out looking so strong. He is a powerhouse despite losing most of his youth to severe illness. I never get bored of watching new reactions to Hi Ren. I loved your video, looking forward to the rest. I haven’t bought music for years, and Sick Boi is the first I’ve ever bought digitally, I’m deep in the rabbit hole rn. You can do Sick Boi now hopefully
Welcome to the reneverse got ur self a new sub Nice reaction if u wana see him rap rap watch the hunger if u want him singing try the big push stuff like i shot the sherif/road to zion/hiphop the one with the red suspenders or his solos like back on 74/ message in a bottle retake if u want more like story telling check the tales of jenny and screech and violet if you want more meaningful full songs with his message check the money game parts 1 to 3 if you want to know about his illness and story of hope basically watch troubles other than that honestly pick any random song he has and you wont be disappointed
thank you for reactinf! welcome to ren rabbit hole! its an amazing group of individuals from all walks of life who all have support and love as a commonality!! glad to have u renegade!! definately check out jenny and screech Full and money game trilogy as mentioned! subbed for ren!
Wonderful reaction to an exceptional song and artist. Ren’s talent and artistry is quite life changing!! Enjoy the ride my friend. 🥰 Any songs that you do will be appreciated. His earlier songs like Patience and Crutch. Or songs with his first band Trick the Fox. His busking material on his own or with the Pig Push will blow your mind! 🤣 Then of course collaborations with Chinchilla, Sam Tompkins, Prof, Chris Webby. He has a song for every mood!! I’m really looking forward to joining you on your journey. Take care. 😊👍
A helpful hint when listening to any Ren music is to never talk during the performance. Pause it and make your comments, go back a few seconds, and then continue! You can't miss a thing he has to say!!!
Nice Reaction and Mike Level was perfect this time, thank you :) Hi Ren is my personal fave for lots of personal reasons (more so than Sick Boi). That "Voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the Rope" line gets me EVERY time! I would do Tales of Jenny and Screech Trilogy next. Then the Money Game series. But enjoy your journey into a Genius Artist and incredibly special Human Being. Best Wishes.
In the maelstrom of experience Ren is unleashing on the listener, reactors rarely seem to react to the "No one wants to hear another song about how much you hate yourself" line (I don't hold it against them; this song is way too much to take all the lyrics in in real time) But it was a lyric that just *destroyed* me on my first listen. Even only partway thru the song it was apparent to me that this guy was gonna have a lot to say about the human condition through whatever it was that had put him in therapy +HibRen was my first exposure to Ren) and from the guitar/singing intro & lyrics, I was already quite convinced people were going to want to listen to all of the songs he wanted to write "about how much he hates himself." And I'm on Disability for depression; I know EXACTLY how that voice whispers shit like that in your brain. It's an incredibly powerful negative force you need to learn how to identify & work through. Broke my heart that this guy who was SO CLEARLY so talented had been telling himself that. (for the record, I had some misgivings about Hi Ren on my first listen... but I got through that because this performance is so clearly an important piece of art, and my misgivings had more to do with having been raised to be pretentious about art. I've been getting over that for 3 decades, but sometimes it sneaks back in and trips me up). Edit: and however many hundreds of reactor listen-thrus later, I still end up with tears. And yeah - do yourself a favour in case we lose Sick Boi again - react to it NOW. Ren says it's only up temporarily; he got the copyright strike removed, but said that it'll disappear after the legal issues are resolved (that's in a community post on his channel)? ... that doesn't make any kind of sense to me *except* he also said in the Twitch stream he did after the Kujo Beat Down, that the original Sick Boi disappearing has almost become part of the art of it for him. So maybe he intends to follow through on that idea? idk, it would still be a shocking decision! Oh, and people call it "the book club" because some reactors started criticizing the Ren fan base as a "cult" (there are some who attack if a reactor doesn't like something or otherwise indicates that any part of Ren's music is anything less than the most important thing ever done by humanity) and Renegades decided no cult who wanted to spread the good wird (lol) would call themselves a cult, so they decided on "book club."
Glad you've continued with this one first. Ren has a huge catalogue with many different genres. Personally I'm not a fan of the flow he is fond of in The Big Push but lots of people love it. Oh yeah, Ren has taught himself many instruments and has a lovely singing voice with incredible range :) In an interview Ren said that Hi Ren was a one take, the third take they did. They didn't have permission to be in the basement they were in, and they had 4 cameras and two mics. As they were finishing the second take, the building manager walked in and asked them to leave. They begged for another 30 minutes and that was the take they used. However, the very end part when he turns from putting down the guitar and starts talking is a separate take. They were allowed to go back when the building manager helped them submit the correct paperwork. Post production was them just taking footage from the various cameras they had set up to auto record. He's done quite a few single takes, both storytelling and singing solo / duo. Earlier this year he won a couple of international music awards for best song video for Money Game III which was two takes (Money Game 1 took 186 takes over 3 days with no budget to get the right take). Another massively supportive fan base are the Outcasts - fans of the rapper NF.
Yessss another RENEGADE joined the army💪👍👊I've listened to REN for 18 months now,..all his songs are awesome,...I bought his album sik boi.. the first album I've bought in 10 years ,LOVE THIS DUDE🎤🎹🎼...he's done a recent collaboration with Chris Webby called BAGGAGE,it is 🔥🔥🔥reactors are going crazy for it....imagine REN in purgatory 🎤🎹🎼plz react to this one soon..great vid by the way,looking forward to more REN..Subscribed😜👍👊😁😁🎤🎹🎼
Watching HI ReN again and just knowing what he had to go thru with Kujo I think makes us all angry. That’s why when he called, we came! REN never deserved any of that! Thank you for this video! 🖤😊
Great reaction buddy.. welcome to the family of Ren... whilst this is the song that had really made people take notice of Ren... the rest are just as good... I haven't found a bad track yet... the man is a genuis
Some may dispute this comment but it's what I have heard. This is live one-take with multiple cameras but with 1 cut. The monologue at the end was from the 3rd take. It took 4 takes in total.

Hi dear! Welcome to the Renegade family. I came across your reaction today and jumped on it immediately. First watched your reaction to the epic Kujo Beat Down and subbed. I love watching people go down this life changing rabbit hole and will never get tired of people being blown away by this man. Ren is a master of his many forms of art and has proven to be therapy for many if not all of us Renegades. Thank you for your reaction and wise words. ❤❤❤ Love from Hungary
Dude, you are freaking amazing, I can assure you of that! And are def meant for greatness! Thank you for another great great reaction! Can’t wait for more. CAN NOT WAIT!!
We renegades watch so man reactions on ALL his songs, we can tell pretty fast who is doing the reactions because it get them clicks and who is genuinely interested in Ren. You are awesome! ❤❤❤ Thanks so much. Welcome to the Ren family
Hehe, having watched your reaction to kujo beatdown aswell... Welcome the first ladder down the rabbit whole. And after having listened to Hi Ren, that really makes the first part of kujo beatdown that much better. usually reactors draw the line, when reactiing to kujo, having watched it before, and now its other way round but you didn't appreciate that connection :D but i did enjoy your reaction, and will watch you climb down into the reniverse :)
Happy to be a new subscriber! Ren obviously moved you as evident by your open and sincere reaction. He moves us all - and in one song or another, speaks to us all. Continued luck with your channel. Sending you positive vibes and energy for personal and professional happiness and success.
Love your reaction! You have a sub…excited to see you free fall down the rabbit hole! Step 1 - don’t even attempt to genrify Ren’s music. Step 2 - repeat step 1.
Oh, you GET IT! I love when a true musician and creative reactor understands it from the start. I am none of those things but was likewise gob-smacked by the unlimited talent and skill that is Ren.
Thanks for the great reaction. Ren speaks for all of us, he taps into all those thoughts and feelings we cannot express ourselves. He has a favorite saying “A rising tide lifts all ships”, and he truly believes it, he lives it, and he encourages us all to do and be better. Your in for such a ride, his catalogue is deep my friend. All of his works have Easter eggs firmly planted in each and every track he does, many of which help tie other tracks together. I’m so looking forward to seeing you continue to react to Ren. 🖤 oh and i’m sure the other Renegades have told you, but I’ll say it again, this was done in one take, Ren has a heap of one takes which are freaking phenomenal.
Hi Ren is filled with ingenious details. Here are a few: - It startsat 0:03‼When the wheelchair is rolled in, you can see the letters "LD" on the back of it, which could stand for Lyme disease, the cause of his health problems. - The font used for the title is called 'Impact'. How fitting. - I'm always impressed by how you can hear the increasing desperation of the 'good' Ren, because the 'bad' Ren always has a counter-argument. That's one of the insights of the song: you can't defeat your 'bad' side in a discussion. - The dissonance at the end of the dark sides part is achieved by using a tritone in the chord. An interval that's also known as the devil's interval. - The lines "Face to face with the beast, I will rise from the east..." are based on the Revelation. - At the end, before he begins to speak, the harmony remains open because it is not the end of the song.
A new renegade Welcome.Be prepaid to be amazed, surprised, captivate,laugh,cry,sing,dance,rejoice and be totally wiped out with what you will witness with Ren and you will never be disappointed 😊
Ren is such an EXCITING artist! His music is not only unbelievably varied and often unexpected, it touches your ears, your brain and your heart all at once. And the thing is, the more your learn about him as a person, the more you can’t help but stand behind him and his work. He went through SO much and it could have made him perpetually bitter and angry. Ren is someone who sees how ugly the world is and still CHOOSES to be better everyday. That’s part of his charisma and why so many people gravitate toward his music.
Hey man, great reaction. Thanks 👍❤. And welcome to the world of Ren. A roller coaster ride through emotions, wisdom, musical genius and genres. Ren has a lot of very personal and deep songs, especially about mental health. Others already gave you a lot of info about Ren, but nonetheless I'll bomb you with a bit more. Hope I'm not doubling too much 😉. Regarding the big mask it appears in a lot of his videos. It stands for greed, his illness and the medical system. He took the idea from the book Animal Farm. Ren talks about the meaning of the pig mask in an interview with Zack Sang. An excerpt can be found here: "Ren Reveals The Meaning Behind The Pig Mask"
Subbed with your kujo reaction, and you did not disappoint.. ❤❤❤ there is so much for you to discover and be shocked and awed 😮😮😮by the talent in this man. He does acoustic retakes of some of his own songs, please react to both, they are totally different vibes just with the same lyrics❤❤❤... I would check out "fire" from his first album freckled angels.. "humble" and "ocean" ft Eden Nash... ❤❤❤
The only thing better than finding Ren for the first time is watching someone else find the same wonder and get it. You're going to love him more with every video. I'm a 56 year old bloke and spent 30 years telling my kids that my generations music is so much better than their's. I will never say that again. My daughters are both now Renegades too. Ren is up there with the Guitar heroes, vocal legends and rock gods. He belongs among all of them. Liked and subscribed
Watching people's brains melt when they encounter all that is Ren is a delight. ❤ On a more important note, he has helped so many of us process our lives. He is a gift.
I've been on this stupid ball of rock we call home for 51 years. And in that time I cannot ever remember an artist who has brought me to tears AND continues to do so everytime i listen to either Hi Ren or Su*cide. Every single time, i've watched every reaction i can find but it's his words that break me. His power to convey a message is beyond comparison. He's an amazing talent, with wisdom well beyond his years. But also is such a kind and selfless person. I only discovered him recently myself but people are right in everything they say about him.
Omgoodness God I just love & Respect this multi talented man not only for his art but the battles mentally he faced. I heard this about a year and half ago and still it moves me i am 2 weeks from 45 years old and was misdiagnosed from one mental disease to another plus suffering ptsd and severe nervous disorder since I was 16 years old and back I never talk to anyone about it but the war in my mind was horrifying and now to see and witness a beautiful artists such Ren take his art and paint us vibrate pictures I am just aww of Him
A rising tide lifts all ships 🥹💜💜 and remember, ALWAYS expect the unexpected with ren 😉💜
I've never seen an artist with a more genuine character, soul, heart... those of us who truly LOVE Ren, mostly derives from his personality, the impeccable art is a super bonus (at least to me). Enjoy the Ren Rabbit Hole Rollercoaster Ride! Only advice, always expect the unexpected!
Harry Mack. Different kinda talent. But kind soul.
Renegades have welcomed you into our masses. You may not be prepared for this next stage of your life... but you won't be able to help yourself. We'll be with you on this journey!
TRUTH!
There are 2 very distinct times in a person's life, the time before discovering Ren and the time after. The best part about it is that you don't only find the artist of a generation, you also discover his tribe who will be with you every step of the way. Welcome to the bookclub my guy. ❤
ABSOfriggnLUTELY!! I LOVE being A Renegade!
yes! it's like crossing the event horizon
Yes! Yes! Exactly.
Once you dive into
the Ren wormhole. you will never want to come back. He will take you to places you never knew existed.
Facts!!!!😂❤
There are some reactors I can tell are going to become RENegades just based on their first reaction to him, but a person's reaction to Hi Ren always seals the deal, sooooo welcome to the Ren family! We will be here for your journey. When we say he can do any genre and arrange them in ways you would never even imagine would work, let alone hit genius musical levels, it is not hyperbole. Most exciting and original musician to come around in decades, and one who is always 100 percent authentic. Subbed for more!
Ren is a poet for the people, a teller of morality tales, a bard for the current era, a philosopher, a composer, a director he covers all genres with aplomb. It's no surprise that a huge number of his fans are old geezers like me and older ladies. We grew up with real music and real musicians so we know how to recognise greatness when we see it. If Ren continues as he is going he will become possibly the greatest ever certainly in my life time.
Beautifully stated!
Oh WoW i made a comment pertaining tho THIS but my goodness YOU put it oh SO very much more elegantly **Luvit** just **Beautiful** Thank YOU ever so for making my day **Brighter** **PixieHugz&LuvzALL**
So wonderfully put❤❤❤
"A battle rap between the angel and devil on your shoulders" hahaha. Thats the perfect analogy! Thanks! subscribed
Right?!! Hat why I love this man! We have seen dozens and hundreds and hundreds of Ren reactions and whenever we get to say somebody did something that’s the perfect reaction, it hat says something! His dude has got this!
Welcome to the RENaissance!
Ren has more layers than an onion, more bars than a prison! Just when ya think ya have him figured out... the next track shows that ya Dont! Lol
Buckle up... and enjoy the Ride! From now on... everything will be like... "Before Ren" & "After Ren" !!!
More bars than a prison 🤣 love that!
I loved what you said at the end that so resonated wowed me. You said
"I understand why everyone is so supportive of him. Not only as an artist, but as a person because it's one and the same.".
Yep - we always sound unhinged when we say these things, but Ren *is* music; Ren *is* art.
It lives and breathes through him. It's like it's all swirling around inside him at every moment, overflowing into however many times per day he picks up a guitar or sits down at the piano to fool around on it or sings a few lines of a song or plays with some rap lyrics he's been working on.
Most astounding thing I've encountered in 51 years on this planet.

💯EXACTLY ❤️
I love watching new Renegades as they start down the Ren rabbit hole. Welcome aboard my friend. Looking forward to seeing a lot more from you.
Careful! This is not a rabbit hole; it is a goddam warren. There is Ren the acoustic storyteller with his "Bardcore" music. Then there is vocal Ren with his amazing duet collabs. Check out Street Ren busking with Sam Tompkins or his Band The Big Push. Of course there is Rapper Ren who can spit wisdom with the skill of Em and the heart of a poet. His pure Hip Hop is sublime. I could name some more genres but he can do it all.
Rabbit Warren….😂😂 so true!
You are 100% a Renegade now. I only discovered Ren a few weeks ago, and I've fallen deep into the rabbit hole. Thank you for such a beautiful and honest reaction. I watch quite a few Ren reaction videos each day, as I can relive my own 'first time' over and over again. It's great therapy.
Welcome to the club :)
Same 😁
Between Ren, the reactors and the kind and supportive fan base, I have learned there are still alot of fine people in the world. Welcome to the Reniverse/Renaissance. His music and his story will help you through your struggles. ❤❤❤
Loved this reaction. I suggest reacting to the live performance of Chalk Outlines by Ren X Chinchilla.
There is nothing like a genuine Aussie, or a Kiwi who can say it like it is.. it seems to be in the down under DNA. Much respect from across the ditch. I am a long term Renegade who discovered Ren from day 1, have watched and supported literally hundreds of reactions to Ren and continue to do so. You are bang on that this is a unique community that have supported and pushed a unique artist with the most humble of attitudes, huge heart, and resilience. I am of the much older generation and have to say that Ren is the most inspiring artist of my lifetime. Subbed to watch you deep dive. Some suggestions from me for more of his back story, (aside from reacting to) are his Chapters 1 - 8 on his channel where he relates his journey through illness as only Ren can do. (be prepared - emotional); and his video 'One million Subscribers - defining success. These will give you an insight to an amazing human being and why we love him so much. Great reaction btw. Kia kaha from NZ.
What a great reaction, your speech at the start had me smiling so much. I don't know why your video in particular did it to me, because I've seen so many reaction and had gotten over the emotional response for the most part, but I started tearing up when you pointed out that he has done something great, because he has come so far since releasing this song and He really has connected with so many people, and earned a #1 Album in the UK with Sick boi. He's such an amazing human being. I'm so excited to see you go on your Ren journey! ❤
Finally, a compliment for the reactor. Good job! It was a great reaction indeed! 😊
Welcome! The Renegades will love sharing your journey. It’s a long way down the rabbit hole Alice!!!
welcome to a beautiful journey
Great reaction, keep going down to the rabbit hole 👏, you will not be disappointed!😁
As a sociopath friendly person I have to say your thumbnail is really on point.
New sub here from Arizona, I'm here for any and all Ren reactions. As a 54 year old music lover my whole life, Ren has reconfigured my mind for the better and REN-EWED my heart & soul by making me really hear music for the 1st time in my life! Thank you for the great reaction! what an amazing journey awaits you!😁
If you want his story and many other peoples in song hip hop style
Troubles is a good track of his released in May
for Millions MISSING month
For singing Back on 74 message message in a bottle retake
240 tracks on his channel its hard to pick where to start
For a quick intoduction to Ren

Or one of many interviews with him on his YT channel varying length and focus
Great reaction btw

You just got a new Renegade subscriber!
Following Ren is a form of therapy for many. You will quickly realise you are not alone, acceptance is key and hope is real. On top of that you are now part of the Renegade family (affectionately called the Book Club). We try and be an extension of the light that Ren sends out into the world. Ren is a masterful artist. But most of all he is a beautiful human being.
ABSOLUTELY TRUE!
Sick Boi is back online, so that should be your next listen. After that, The Tales of Jenny and Screech, then for a little more rap flavor, go Genesis.
One more thing….THANK YOU!! You can’t understand yet, (though really, you are learning quick I think,) that there is nothing better than experiencing this with someone. It makes us feel like; “we are all human beings.” Getting to watch someone with identical emotions that we feel. And is there anything more important?
To have witnessed his suffering had made us all feel like, huh, “Wr are normal! We are no longer alone in the battle we call life.!”
And you will hear us, and have talked about his health issues.
Anr any of us with a history with Ren, and we have watched and heard all wr can about what he went through, we aren’t joking when we say that most people have no idea what physical and psychological suffering is, and they need to spend 3-10 hours learning about what the last. 15 years have been like for Ren.
Having signed with Sony right when his illness started, and then them having to part ways with the company, his career trajectory would be way different had he not got sick. The world may already know him as well as some of the greats and that was taken from him.
But then again, his suffering is what brought us all together; so we, and even he, think It may have been worth it. That this his where he was meant to be at this time in his life!
I almost feel bad for overwhelming you with all of this, but I can tell I think, you can handle this. You have got this my friend
Love your reaction man 👍 Ren is a genius, became my favorite artist of all times ! The rabbit hole is so deep, wide and full of masterpieces, you'll see ... Tremendous artist, so talented, in everything... Enjoy the journey, it's fantastic, you're gonna be blown away, reaction after reaction 😍 I subbed to see you dig the rabbit hole 😉 Thanks 😘
Loving your reactions! Welcome to the rabbit hole, I've been in it for over a year and a half now, it's wonderful here 🖤
Me too. I can’t seem to leave or even read a damn book!
Loved your review my favorite is "Crutch" but love so many of them abd he was so young in it have fun with it! i look foward to seeing more from ya
The Renegades are a force of love and support 😂 But it’s all because that is exactly what Ren inspires. If you want to understand why we all love him so dearly, check out his 1m subscribers video on defining success. Ren is not just a brilliant artist but a genuinely good human being who wants to inspire positive change in the world.
And a little help to guide you on your journey: While I’m sure plenty of people will tell you to react to the trilogy of tales in the correct order, it is often overlooked that there are a few other songs best done in order of release (though doesn’t have to be in one sitting): Freckled Angels -> Suic!de -> For Joe.
Hope to see you deep down the Ren rabbit hole with the rest of us 🐰🕳️
Also now that you have seen this masterpiece, can you believe this is the man Kujo and his greedy lawyer tried to go after? Not only is Ren highly intelligent, but he is a beacon of hope for so many people. He is a relatable voice for everyone dancing in the darkness as he eloquently, with all the authenticity of someone who is painfully familiar with it, lets us know that we are not alone and inspires us to accept our human imperfections while we keep dancing. And in doing so, Ren has literally saved lives with his art. Imagine wanting to take anything away from him?
There's before Ren which had millions of unique and other artists throughout history.......The there's finding Ren and going
on his and our own journeys where ever it takes us.........Cheers for reacting and you have all his friends to react to as well.
There will be tears shed and every other emotion along the way.....
Welcome to the family! Best wishes ❤
Ren has a way of bringing out different emotions in people. An amazing person with an artistic gift that keeps on giving. Nice reaction. 💛🤘🤙✌️
Bro we as people understand ren not because he famous not because his songs are commercial. It’s because of all of out connections. Look at the comments. Look at how much all these people can see the bigger picture. I’ve never met a fan base like this complete strangers yet they alll are the most beautiful people I’ve ever seen. I reacted to hi ren and explained my story. You know wat happen every single fan hmu and said I want alone and made me feel better about my self. That’s the power of ren he makes us all connect and for that I love you bro welcome to best fan base ever
Thing is with ren, it's like watching several different artists,he's got so many different styles, it's nice to see you getting in to this❤
Ren has shown such vulnerability, and has proved that rather than looking weak, you come out looking so strong. He is a powerhouse despite losing most of his youth to severe illness. I never get bored of watching new reactions to Hi Ren. I loved your video, looking forward to the rest. I haven’t bought music for years, and Sick Boi is the first I’ve ever bought digitally, I’m deep in the rabbit hole rn.
You can do Sick Boi now hopefully
RENegade here!! Love to you my friend. ❤❤ subbed and ready for more. Can't wait for you to watch the tales! 🐷🐇🕳❤️🥔
I agree with all you said! This guy is special, even compared to some of the greats we have witnessed experience this with us!
Welcome to the reneverse got ur self a new sub Nice reaction if u wana see him rap rap watch the hunger if u want him singing try the big push stuff like i shot the sherif/road to zion/hiphop the one with the red suspenders or his solos like back on 74/ message in a bottle retake if u want more like story telling check the tales of jenny and screech and violet if you want more meaningful full songs with his message check the money game parts 1 to 3 if you want to know about his illness and story of hope basically watch troubles other than that honestly pick any random song he has and you wont be disappointed
great reation man. you look like me on my first watching and it makes me feel validated for it. thanks
thank you for reactinf! welcome to ren rabbit hole! its an amazing group of individuals from all walks of life who all have support and love as a commonality!! glad to have u renegade!! definately check out jenny and screech Full and money game trilogy as mentioned! subbed for ren!
Hey there! I'm here to watch your journey down the Ren rabbit hole! I'm excited to see more of your reactions. Left a like and sub for Ren! 😊❤
Really have enjoyed your REN reactions. So glad you found him. Welcome to the family.
Most of us started the Ren journey with Hi Ren. We related. We were hooked. This young man is pure genius with so many masterpiece songs/videos.
Wonderful reaction to an exceptional song and artist. Ren’s talent and artistry is quite life changing!!
Enjoy the ride my friend. 🥰
Any songs that you do will be appreciated. His earlier songs like Patience and Crutch. Or songs with his first band Trick the Fox. His busking material on his own or with the Pig Push will blow your mind! 🤣
Then of course collaborations with Chinchilla, Sam Tompkins, Prof, Chris Webby.
He has a song for every mood!!
I’m really looking forward to joining you on your journey. Take care. 😊👍
There were several references to Hi Ren in the Kujo Beatdown that were skillful and interesting.
Just found you! Yay, a new Renegade! Subbed for your journey into the world of Ren. Enjoy the ride! ☮️💙😎
Wasn't sure if you caught it, but the "battle rappers" here were the same versions of Ren we got in Kujo Beat Down ("this isn't Hi Ren 2") 😉
Ren played the drums too
And he played the melodica in "Swan Song" that was a surprise to many.
It’s so interesting to watch someone react to Kujo Beat Down before watching Hi Ren and the rest. Nice reaction. Can’t wait to see you do the rest.
A helpful hint when listening to any Ren music is to never talk during the performance. Pause it and make your comments, go back a few seconds, and then continue! You can't miss a thing he has to say!!!
@@nancymunroe3672 I don't actually agree when it is short spontaneous comments, but I do agree about winding back a bit after a stop.
The Hunger, Losing it, Back on 74
Nice Reaction and Mike Level was perfect this time, thank you :)
Hi Ren is my personal fave for lots of personal reasons (more so than Sick Boi). That "Voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the Rope" line gets me EVERY time! I would do Tales of Jenny and Screech Trilogy next. Then the Money Game series. But enjoy your journey into a Genius Artist and incredibly special Human Being. Best Wishes.
Thank you I tried to make sure the mic was up but I think the music was too low this time 🤦🏻♂️ haha
Looking forward to following along as you ride the rollercoaster. 🥰
In the maelstrom of experience Ren is unleashing on the listener, reactors rarely seem to react to the "No one wants to hear another song about how much you hate yourself" line (I don't hold it against them; this song is way too much to take all the lyrics in in real time)
But it was a lyric that just *destroyed* me on my first listen. Even only partway thru the song it was apparent to me that this guy was gonna have a lot to say about the human condition through whatever it was that had put him in therapy +HibRen was my first exposure to Ren) and from the guitar/singing intro & lyrics, I was already quite convinced people were going to want to listen to all of the songs he wanted to write "about how much he hates himself."
And I'm on Disability for depression; I know EXACTLY how that voice whispers shit like that in your brain. It's an incredibly powerful negative force you need to learn how to identify & work through. Broke my heart that this guy who was SO CLEARLY so talented had been telling himself that.
(for the record, I had some misgivings about Hi Ren on my first listen... but I got through that because this performance is so clearly an important piece of art, and my misgivings had more to do with having been raised to be pretentious about art. I've been getting over that for 3 decades, but sometimes it sneaks back in and trips me up).
Edit: and however many hundreds of reactor listen-thrus later, I still end up with tears.
And yeah - do yourself a favour in case we lose Sick Boi again - react to it NOW. Ren says it's only up temporarily; he got the copyright strike removed, but said that it'll disappear after the legal issues are resolved (that's in a community post on his channel)?
... that doesn't make any kind of sense to me *except* he also said in the Twitch stream he did after the Kujo Beat Down, that the original Sick Boi disappearing has almost become part of the art of it for him. So maybe he intends to follow through on that idea? idk, it would still be a shocking decision!
Oh, and people call it "the book club" because some reactors started criticizing the Ren fan base as a "cult" (there are some who attack if a reactor doesn't like something or otherwise indicates that any part of Ren's music is anything less than the most important thing ever done by humanity) and Renegades decided no cult who wanted to spread the good wird (lol) would call themselves a cult, so they decided on "book club."
Glad you've continued with this one first. Ren has a huge catalogue with many different genres. Personally I'm not a fan of the flow he is fond of in The Big Push but lots of people love it. Oh yeah, Ren has taught himself many instruments and has a lovely singing voice with incredible range :)
In an interview Ren said that Hi Ren was a one take, the third take they did. They didn't have permission to be in the basement they were in, and they had 4 cameras and two mics. As they were finishing the second take, the building manager walked in and asked them to leave. They begged for another 30 minutes and that was the take they used. However, the very end part when he turns from putting down the guitar and starts talking is a separate take. They were allowed to go back when the building manager helped them submit the correct paperwork. Post production was them just taking footage from the various cameras they had set up to auto record.
He's done quite a few single takes, both storytelling and singing solo / duo. Earlier this year he won a couple of international music awards for best song video for Money Game III which was two takes (Money Game 1 took 186 takes over 3 days with no budget to get the right take).
Another massively supportive fan base are the Outcasts - fans of the rapper NF.
Ren is brilliant! Great reaction🔥♥️✌️
Yessss another RENEGADE joined the army💪👍👊I've listened to REN for 18 months now,..all his songs are awesome,...I bought his album sik boi.. the first album I've bought in 10 years ,LOVE THIS DUDE🎤🎹🎼...he's done a recent collaboration with Chris Webby called BAGGAGE,it is 🔥🔥🔥reactors are going crazy for it....imagine REN in purgatory 🎤🎹🎼plz react to this one soon..great vid by the way,looking forward to more REN..Subscribed😜👍👊😁😁🎤🎹🎼
aaaaaaah yes, let the Ren flow through you my friend #notevensorryforinfectingyou much love brother, great video once again! ❤
Watching HI ReN again and just knowing what he had to go thru with Kujo I think makes us all angry. That’s why when he called, we came! REN never deserved any of that! Thank you for this video! 🖤😊
Great reaction buddy.. welcome to the family of Ren... whilst this is the song that had really made people take notice of Ren... the rest are just as good... I haven't found a bad track yet... the man is a genuis
Some may dispute this comment but it's what I have heard. This is live one-take with multiple cameras but with 1 cut. The monologue at the end was from the 3rd take. It took 4 takes in total.
Ren has lots of styles.

Hi dear! Welcome to the Renegade family. I came across your reaction today and jumped on it immediately. First watched your reaction to the epic Kujo Beat Down and subbed. I love watching people go down this life changing rabbit hole and will never get tired of people being blown away by this man. Ren is a master of his many forms of art and has proven to be therapy for many if not all of us Renegades. Thank you for your reaction and wise words. ❤❤❤ Love from Hungary
Dude, you are freaking amazing, I can assure you of that! And are def meant for greatness! Thank you for another great great reaction! Can’t wait for more. CAN NOT WAIT!!
Thank you so much, I’m terrible at taking compliments haha but I truly appreciate it
We renegades watch so man reactions on ALL his songs, we can tell pretty fast who is doing the reactions because it get them clicks and who is genuinely interested in Ren. You are awesome! ❤❤❤ Thanks so much. Welcome to the Ren family
Hehe, having watched your reaction to kujo beatdown aswell... Welcome the first ladder down the rabbit whole. And after having listened to Hi Ren, that really makes the first part of kujo beatdown that much better. usually reactors draw the line, when reactiing to kujo, having watched it before, and now its other way round but you didn't appreciate that connection :D but i did enjoy your reaction, and will watch you climb down into the reniverse :)
Continue as you are... the rabbit hole is multidimensional.. each facet of this human diamond glistens beautifully
Welcome to the crew! And yeah... theres a lot to go through. All fantastic stuff. You will never know what type music youre in for.
You’re one of us now. Congrats!
Happy to be a new subscriber! Ren obviously moved you as evident by your open and sincere reaction. He moves us all - and in one song or another, speaks to us all. Continued luck with your channel. Sending you positive vibes and energy for personal and professional happiness and success.
Go on, jump down the Rabbit hole for a bit. Lots there
Lovely reaction, thank you! Subbed for more you with Ren
Sally in Sweden xx
Love your reaction! You have a sub…excited to see you free fall down the rabbit hole! Step 1 - don’t even attempt to genrify Ren’s music. Step 2 - repeat step 1.
oh how I love watching someone go down the Ren rabbit hole. Enjoy my friend, sending ❤ from 🇬🇧 x
Just a thought... turn the volume up a bit for what we hear.
I'm still with you.
Oh, you GET IT! I love when a true musician and creative reactor understands it from the start. I am none of those things but was likewise gob-smacked by the unlimited talent and skill that is Ren.
Ren is a very special human being that has the ability to touch and unite for the positive. Loved your reaction.
Love your reaction to this! You really get it ❤ you seem like a nice guy. Looking forward to many many more Ren reactions from you!!
I'm glad you felt the healing light codes he tucked in there
Thanks for the great reaction. Ren speaks for all of us, he taps into all those thoughts and feelings we cannot express ourselves. He has a favorite saying “A rising tide lifts all ships”, and he truly believes it, he lives it, and he encourages us all to do and be better. Your in for such a ride, his catalogue is deep my friend. All of his works have Easter eggs firmly planted in each and every track he does, many of which help tie other tracks together. I’m so looking forward to seeing you continue to react to Ren. 🖤 oh and i’m sure the other Renegades have told you, but I’ll say it again, this was done in one take, Ren has a heap of one takes which are freaking phenomenal.
I love Ren. This never gets old....lol. The shock at his lyrical tripping!
Hi Ren is filled with ingenious details.
Here are a few:
- It startsat 0:03‼When the wheelchair is rolled in, you can see the letters "LD" on the back of it, which could stand for Lyme disease, the cause of his health problems.
- The font used for the title is called 'Impact'. How fitting.
- I'm always impressed by how you can hear the increasing desperation of the 'good' Ren, because the 'bad' Ren always has a counter-argument. That's one of the insights of the song: you can't defeat your 'bad' side in a discussion.
- The dissonance at the end of the dark sides part is achieved by using a tritone in the chord. An interval that's also known as the devil's interval.
- The lines "Face to face with the beast, I will rise from the east..." are based on the Revelation.
- At the end, before he begins to speak, the harmony remains open because it is not the end of the song.
A new renegade Welcome.Be prepaid to be amazed, surprised, captivate,laugh,cry,sing,dance,rejoice and be totally wiped out with what you will witness with Ren and you will never be disappointed 😊
Here for the Ren journey.. Lets go ✌️
Well... Ren also met with the president of UA-cam music. So that helped! 😂
Loved the reaction. enjoy Ren, he`s special. what a rabbit hole to go down. changed my life.
Ren is such an EXCITING artist! His music is not only unbelievably varied and often unexpected, it touches your ears, your brain and your heart all at once.
And the thing is, the more your learn about him as a person, the more you can’t help but stand behind him and his work. He went through SO much and it could have made him perpetually bitter and angry. Ren is someone who sees how ugly the world is and still CHOOSES to be better everyday. That’s part of his charisma and why so many people gravitate toward his music.
Hey man, great reaction. Thanks 👍❤.
And welcome to the world of Ren. A roller coaster ride through emotions, wisdom, musical genius and genres.
Ren has a lot of very personal and deep songs, especially about mental health.
Others already gave you a lot of info about Ren, but nonetheless I'll bomb you with a bit more. Hope I'm not doubling too much 😉.
Regarding the big mask it appears in a lot of his videos. It stands for greed, his illness and the medical system. He took the idea from the book Animal Farm. Ren talks about the meaning of the pig mask in an interview with Zack Sang. An excerpt can be found here: "Ren Reveals The Meaning Behind The Pig Mask"
Subbed with your kujo reaction, and you did not disappoint.. ❤❤❤ there is so much for you to discover and be shocked and awed 😮😮😮by the talent in this man. He does acoustic retakes of some of his own songs, please react to both, they are totally different vibes just with the same lyrics❤❤❤... I would check out "fire" from his first album freckled angels.. "humble" and "ocean" ft Eden Nash... ❤❤❤
Glad you have finally found Ren - this was a lovely, open hearted reaction. Subbed x
Subscribed here for your Ren journey ❤
With you! Subscribed. Greetings from Belgium
The only thing better than finding Ren for the first time is watching someone else find the same wonder and get it. You're going to love him more with every video.
I'm a 56 year old bloke and spent 30 years telling my kids that my generations music is so much better than their's. I will never say that again. My daughters are both now Renegades too.
Ren is up there with the Guitar heroes, vocal legends and rock gods. He belongs among all of them.
Liked and subscribed
Watching people's brains melt when they encounter all that is Ren is a delight. ❤
On a more important note, he has helped so many of us process our lives. He is a gift.
Just another RENagade sub, great reaction.
I've been on this stupid ball of rock we call home for 51 years. And in that time I cannot ever remember an artist who has brought me to tears AND continues to do so everytime i listen to either Hi Ren or Su*cide. Every single time, i've watched every reaction i can find but it's his words that break me. His power to convey a message is beyond comparison. He's an amazing talent, with wisdom well beyond his years. But also is such a kind and selfless person. I only discovered him recently myself but people are right in everything they say about him.
The most self aware and open artist ever. And, extremely talented.
Ok why not completely switch genre with Ren? I Shot The Sheriff/ Road to Zion / Hip Hop mashup with his old band The Big Push…you’ll love it I promise
Omgoodness God I just love & Respect this multi talented man not only for his art but the battles mentally he faced. I heard this about a year and half ago and still it moves me i am 2 weeks from 45 years old and was misdiagnosed from one mental disease to another plus suffering ptsd and severe nervous disorder since I was 16 years old and back I never talk to anyone about it but the war in my mind was horrifying and now to see and witness a beautiful artists such Ren take his art and paint us vibrate pictures I am just aww of Him
Well done Bro,im 66 and bawled my eyes out first time I heard this. Touched many nerves and history
