Great reaction but you missed the twist. It’s not just that they ended up in the same hospital. The final part takes part earlier than the first two parts, and Jenny and Screech were Violet’s twin babies, both presumably handed over to foster care after they were born to a dying mother murdered by their father, growing up apart - unknowingly mirroring their parents characters - only to meet each other on the street on that fateful night 14 years later…
Bobby
Just that... A prequel, released afterwards. 😊
@@Arhimith What are you on about? He's simply explaining the logic of the story. You call it spoiling... Weird
@@Arhimith The comments section is made for people who have already watched the video, so it's not spoiling. They either already got the twist, or they already missed it.
@@Arhimith an I explained my view of what they had just watched. Hardly the same as a spoiler.
Don’t sleep on Ren’s “Life is Funny”
I think the problem you have with ren is trying to put him in a genre. He's not a rapper but cannrap his ass off. He's not a singer but has a crazy vocal range. He produces, writes, instrumentals, beat boxes, jumps from genre to genre with ease.
I reckon if you listen to genesis with the lyrics up, then something like his busking i shot the sheriff, Road to zion, hip hop. If that don't get ya, I don't know what to say bruv 😂
You are quite correct police in the UK don’t regularly carry firearms except for specific firearms officers. I am a former UK police officer who is normally very very particular on accuracy, but I was so captivated in this story. I did not pick up on it straight away, he is a modern day Shakespearean storyteller
this is the only reactor I've seen who really noted how unique it was that the armed officers were called out to find the guy that slashed up this body. we don't call them out without a good idea that a very dangerous person is still on the street and needs to be found and stopped and that the police don't think the usual unarmed officers can do so.
@@DistractedArachnid it's possible, but as rare as it is that the armed unit is called out, I'd hate to think there was someone out doing something worse out in the same hour in that same neighbourhood.
the point @Alex Longmore and I were making is that unit being called tells you just how badly he slashed her up and how dangerous the perpetrator, Screech, was perceived to be.
In Manchester, the ARV always seems to be on the move.
I can't see why London would be any different.
In London if it's an area with a known gang problem & also a years long, ongoing Albanian v Somali dealer turf war ( like where I lived) armed response isnt an unusual thing. Before I moved , it came out to a guy always hanging out with the local dealer , who lived opposite us. They took around 5 or 6 guns & a couple of machetes out the trunk of his BMW.
When you say it’s so easy to say fuck screech and so hard to say the world failed him, you’re hitting pretty damn close to Ren’s message. He’s said we’re all just a few bad decisions away from being Screech, and he wrote this trilogy initially in respond to a news article about a 14 yr old killing a prostitute and wondered what drove him to that point in life.
Also, during his live performance of the trilogy in Brighton, he read this to the crowd beforehand:
There's this lie that we have either Yin or Yang.
We are neither, and we are both.
We are Apollo, and we are Dionysus.
We are Jesus, and we are Judas.
We are the healing hands of Mother Theresa, and we are the poisonous tongue of Adolf Hitler.
We do not solely walk a path of good, nor do we walk tread a path of evil.
We simply walk.
And if we choose to rain down judgement based on some self-inflated moral code,
We forget that we are but a few decisions or a few mistakes away from becoming demons,
Or we're a few good deeds away from becoming angels.
Our actions cannot be placed into black and white boxes,
For there is beauty within destruction, And there is ugliness within perfection.
Yes this!❤
You see him as 2 different artists because in one he showcases his talents and in the other he uses his talent to showcase himself. Keep vibing my man.
A great reaction. The KSO I subbed to is back! One thing a lot of reactors miss about this song is how they're born and die "side by side" in a poetic kinda way.
It was a newspaper article that prompted the tales of Jenny and Screech he was moved by people saying what a shame but nothing is ever done. It was 2 years later he released Violets tale and completed the masterpiece.
the avrage Police officer don't have a side arm but if there's a murder or some crazy shit, they can send in the dudes with the MP5's
I think if you listed to “The Hunger” and the listened to the acoustic version of “Animal flow” you’d appreciate Rens rapping skills without all of the background distractions - the video was brilliantly wild…
I don't think he would like The Hunger at all. That song is a great example of everything Kso hates about people rapping. Not saying I agree, I'm just saying that I can already hear Kso saying "He's just rapping fast and rhyming a lot of words but isn't actually saying anything."
Very talented!! Congratulations on the news track bro it’s sick!!! 🎉🎉
Jenny and Screech were twins. All three are also live performances.
I think that Ren possesses and excellent and often rare quality: he is balanced in his stability as being high level yet not losing his attitude of teachability. His ego is not overriding him
Have you seen the hunger by Ren or the illest of our time?😊
I think it would be particularly appropriate for you to react to (1) 'The Drugs Don't Work' by The Verve (2) 'Rabbit' by Chas & Dave.
"The best Rachel you can be" 😂😂😂 agreed.
if you want rap listen to hunger or genesis- hunger shows his skill set and changing cadence. genesis is just fire listen to em both if you want to hear rap.
I can perfectly understand loving pieces like this and Hi Ren and being less enamoured with Illest of Our Time and Animal Flow. They're of a different style and it's reasonable to love one and not like another, especially when Hi Ren sets expectations so high. Not only that, but the best of artists can't write their magnum opus over and over. Iron Maiden are one of my favourite bands, but that doesn't mean I don't think there's some absolute dross in their catalogue.
I can take or leave Illest and Animal, though I would suggest checking out his acoustic version of Animal Flow. Not sure if it'll sell you on the track, but it's impressive how he's able to adapt it into a completely different thing. Then again, I feel The Hunger is a better representation of his rap credentials.
His work with Sam Tompkins is also worth checking out to get an idea of his range. You mentioned street performing: look up Sam and Ren doing Earned it/Man's World/Falling while out busking, and also Blind Eye (ft. Angry Car Park Attendant) for a bit of fun.
Also also, I feel like you might've missed the twist at the end with the call back to Jenny and Screech (I know I did for the first few listens).
Screech is said to be 14 in Jenny's Tale, which Ren wrote in 2019.
Violet's starts "London City, Far from pretty, 2-0-0-5"
"If I'm to die this very night, Please let my babIES stay alive"
"A tragedy or miracle, It happened on these very streets
Two twins aligned side-by-side, A girl called Jenny and a boy called Screech"
(though, personally, I feel 'a boy called Screech' is the one flaw in this entire piece as it's incongruous with the fact they're Violet's children:
"A tragedy or miracle, her babies left with just their names
Two twins aligned side-by-side, A called called Jenny and a boy called James"
(or something to that effect))
Or course, the other thing this brings to light is that Jenny - who'd walked London's streets at night a thousand times before - is also only 14. That means probably not a barmaid, cleaner, party girl or any other socially acceptable thing that might have an adult regularly out late at night...
One correction - Ren's lyrics, pinned to the video, say "please let my baby stay alive"
Violet had avoided prenatal care (health care is an issue for domestic abuse cases, where medical care can = disclosure of the abuse... the abuser sometimes prevents the victim from seeking care, to avoid law enforcement becoming involved or to avoid the victim being given support to leave... and sometimes the victim themselves avoids the care if they're not ready to leave the situation) and she didn't know she was carrying twins. Which is dangerous, because pregnancies with multiples can carry serious risks if not monitored closely.
If I was you I'd have "AAAARGH CANADA!!" written on my headstone. It's hilarious and gets me every time! 😹😹😹
Brother, you haven’t seen nothing yet. Keep going with Ren. I’m positive 💯 that you will become a fan! Honestly I wasn’t a fan of Animal Flow either, BUT that is the One song of his entire catalog. This guy is different in every song but he is always Ren.
Ren did the tales in the style of a 16th century minstrel. 🎉 love them, so emotional.
great upload man, cheers
Violet was silent, she was pregnant by her father that's how she moved out at 16 through welfare. Stevie moved into her apartment but was jealous and insecure and took it out on her when he was drunk I doubt that silent Violet did or said anything to trigger him except maybe avoid him. Jenny & Screech were the children of their grandfather & their mother. Brother & sister twins adopted separately and growing up without knowing each other. It's hard to understand the story without projecting our experiences on to it. A lot of people miss the twist at the end.
Violet wasn't impregnated by her father
She was abused for sure, but Stevie was the little prick.
@@Ph4n_t0m You are just wrong there is no way a 16 year old gets a welfare apartment without being pregnant. You are actually and factually wrong. "she moved out at 16 to a council flat/apartment paid for by a welfare scheme" (council flat is a form of British public housing built by local authorities.) Then she met Stevie not before. You are actually and factually wrong wrong wrong. I guess cause you are not British you don't know that being a dick and being a prick doesn't mean sex it means you're a an @$$hole.
Thank you so much. As a society, we have let these young people down if they are facing adolescents with addiction. It is so easy to blame the screeches of the world and so hard to own our responsibility as human beings to not let them down. Thank you xx
I think Rap is closer to your heart and so your standards, as to what is good rap, are more exacting? Your opinion is as valid as anyone else's and it is more honest to have preferences than just say you univerally love everything produced by an artist. For what it's worth, I enjoy the reaction to Ren's music whether its positive or negative. Thanks for reviewing this one.
K thought you were a bit of a 🔔🔚, but not so much after this reaction 🤗 thank you for going back through it. Sorry for judging you too quickly and good to see you actually love your dogs xx
Props to your reaction, especially the screech tale part
And how you spoke about Violet is why men keep getting away with it.
Omg I Love You!!!!!!! I'm subscribing ❤
Because there was a murder the police would have sent the armed officers.
Man, huge fan of Ren but you’re entertaining as sh*t. Checking out your music after this. Badass with Pippen and Pistons!!
There is a live version of this song on UA-cam. Also the track animal flow he has released a live version😊
This is the live version though? 🤔
You didn’t get the end!??!?
Jenny and screech were the twins that violet gave birth to….
And it’s all live!!!
IIRC, hair on your neck standing up is a holdover from ancient man because a giant cat was our main predator and would often attack from behind and latch onto the back of our neck.
The story here is very clear When I’ve watched your other reactions- you miss all the messages that are not direct - that use double and triple entendre- alliteration, similes, metaphors…. Many of us get the message when you say he is saying nothing. Not sure why you can hear it but it’s there. Maybe he just ain’t your cat.
I noticed this too
I enjoyed your reaction, alot!
Thing is Ren performs many genre and the RENagades enjoy most all of them, so you will get a wide variety of favorites from among us. His album "Sick Boi" will be heavy in the hip hop/rap vein. He will be dropping new songs each week for the next 4 weeks. Then he will drop even more. His next album may not contain any. With Ren its hard to know. I have listened to all your Ren reactions to date. Knowing now how your personal taste runs. Its time I subscribed. Dont concern yourself with negative comments. As a Ren follower I do what I can to follow his words. Be nice, Be better, spread the love. Also, Ren adores reactors. I am sure someone has posted you for him. I am always late. See you soon!
Try acoustic animal flow bro see if u like that version but loving reactions 😜🔥
I've watched so many reactions to Ren and yours are always the ones that make me smile. Listening back to the tales I realized that Jenny's tale is very similar to Regulate by Warren G and Nate Dogg. Even the theme. It's no secret that Ren loves Nate though.
In brief, a great reaction, you can't like everything from an artist, I have to admit out of the 200 plus Ren ( Inc his Band The Big Push ) tracks I have listened too, there are 2 I am not keen on, but love the other 198! Humble, Fire , Chalk Outlines Live, How to Be me and I Shot the Sheriff/ Road to Zion/Hip hop are all just stunning!
Be true to yourself player - if you don’t like Ren, then you don’t like Ren.
He’s not everyone’s cup of tea and you don’t have to be all over every artist.
Personally I thought you missed the point on Animal flow but it was your true reaction 🤷♂️
But to be fair these are very different songs - this is more storytelling, animal flow was more commentary
screech and jenny died the same night one Street apart but were actually twins born on the same night side by side. grew up fostered/in care and never knew each other.
for more rap check out hunger, genesis, what you want.
for live acoustic chalk outlines, how to be me and for a chill vibe hole and ocean with Eden nash
I love that you liked it even when you didn't get the twist, which incidentally backs up a lot of points you made. What happened before we had to say, "It's such a shame"?
He is more than a simple rapper
I think you don't get the layers to his writing, and how his words are statements on the human condition, Animal flow is a showcase on the darkest parts of the human psychy. Ren relates it in the video, to the book animal farm, which is a political and social commentary. Beyond that the beat is unique and incorporates his vocalisations, with references to the sounds of deep house music.
we coulda done without it.
first, we're all filled up on "political social commentary" in America...it the dead f'n last thing we'd ENJOY. sick to death of it.
second, we... meaning at least 95% NEVER have, nor ever will enjoy 'deep house music'. I'd rather stab myself in both ears with a dull #2 pencil, to be honest .
I heard one reactor, who listened to three completely different Ren songs, describe it as watching videos from three different people.
Life experience meets life experience.
Lol you cracked me up with you hope they make him the best Rachel.
Bro...... with that feeling in your stomach you're talking about. I jumped into the backseat of a homie for a simple transaction. While he lit up to make everything seem normal I immediately looked both ways. One way was a dude twice my size. The other way was a pistol.
I knew as I was going there. Knew for sure when I got there. Knew even more after getting robbed.
That shit real
Most british police don't carry firearms when on patrol, it's usually a collapsible baton, pepper spray and sometimes a taser, but in central london you'll see officers with mp5s, pistols etc. Firearms are usually reserved for special units. The UK cops are usually approachable (mostly..there's power hungry bullies in the force too) and tend to resort to de-escalation tactics as policy, over violence when dealing with aggressive citizens..but physically attack them and you'll be in for some hurt
My favorite part:
"You know, the fat n*gg@ who tried to steal the poorage" hahahaha
Loved your whole reaction tho.
Man. you GOTTA react to Dappy - Trill, also Dappy - Oh My🔥🔥🔥🔥
His styles are very different. Some of his songs, I love and listen to over and over and share with people. Other, I don't like at all. You're not alone in that, and I don't think there is anything wrong with it. It's just a testament to his versatility
I'm from Canada and I can assure you the ads are not our fault.
🤣 it's our fault in the US.. 💯
Checkout if can Rap, try - "What you want", "Power", "The Hunger" & "Losing it" 😉
Yo idk what you use weather it be chrome, Firefox or opera as a browser but you can easily get an ad blocker for UA-cam. Just look up "chrome UA-cam ad blocker extension" or do what I do and pay ten bucks a month to have ad free UA-cam.
I seriously can't understand how people allow the UA-cam ads to interrupt their lives. I haven't seen an advertisement in so many years for real. When I visit my parents they watch TV still and I can't believe they put up with that bullshit still.... 3min of ads for like 7 of a show omfg I can't believe we used to have to deal with that shit. I'm so glad we can choose to not see ads these days
I think your question just pertains to the individuality of what people like. I absolutely love Ren but as for Animal Flow I wasn’t much of a fan either. However, in Ren fashion, he came out with a version after that was live and acoustic which I absolutely love. I think Ren is so creative that no genre limits him. But in that I think every fan is bound to have some songs they don’t like.
We have guns over here yeah but not just for standard officers, we have armed response that are called out if something like a stabbing happens as it’s very frequent in London
Wait Jamal.... and now another pup entered the chat?
Yknow, after listening to a lot of your reactions, I kinda get it, now, I'm not right, nor wrong in my opinion, but dude: you speak some truth. Whether or not you're right or wrong is not up to me
But knaw man. I'm half-way in and I'm vibin'
Thanks dude, very insightful.
All one takes n live too... 😊
I was I argue at my phone like you can hear me😂 I love you baby cakes
Really enjoyed your reaction. And I understand how you can hate a song by an artist that you otherwise enjoy. It happens to me a lot with my favorite artists/bands. I don’t love 100% of their songs. Nirvana is one of my favorite bands and Kurt Cobain is a genius BUT there are quite a few Nirvana songs that I absolutely hate and never listen to! 😅
Ren said on the interview with Rosalie he has always done some of everything and so he wanted to concentrate on just rap for a series of songs, that's what he's been releasing lately. upcoming is more not rap. truthfully I think he does that better but he is someone who is good at a lot of things, and very amazingly good at some things.
you called it on violet. abused children, boys or girls, tolerate a lot of shit from other people, victims don't know that red flags are reg flags like the rest of us do. I know I chatted, briefly, to men who I knew to ignore, the things they were saying were in exploration to see what I would tolerate. They often stepped away from me before I completely knew to step away from them. They didn't want a girl who knew better, they wanted an easier victim.
J hus - it's crazy
^^^!!!
I love your dogs! I miss all my dogs. They are in heaven waiting for me, I hope. :) They are probably chasing the cats that also passed away. I hope they all miss me. LOL
Potter payper - Real back in style❤
It’s hard to tell what you love
Gotta react to j hus - crazy. Brudda hasn’t released in like 2 years or somen
I've watched this video dozens of times and still something new has come to mind:
"He was a thief, a liar at only 14 years old,
The devil had set his sights on his soul"
Is that devil his dad?
"Aw, she never stood a chance,
The devil comes to dance"
Screech is literally and figuratively the product of his father's wickedness, with Stevie even being referred to as the devil.
It can even be taken further to suggest, while the ghost of Stevie hangs over Screech, the ghost of Violet is trying to watch over Jenny.
"Usually she was alright, but it was like there was something in the air,
A divine intervention telling her to beware..."
No
I agree!
Animal Flow is my least favorite vid from Ren.
Think it was over produced and the least raw of all his vids.
Being a Pink Floyd fan, Animals is one of my favorite albums so I'm biased for sure.
I like the acoustic version much better.
Im not a rap fan (thats just me, a 65yr old ) but really like Ren cause he mixes it up with so many other genres.
Nice dogs!
You needed the dog brother to get through it......
The biggest thing you gotta remember Ren just puts out stuff he likes and doesnt try to match a specific genre that's why you I feel you don't like his rap but the majority of his catalog is like this singing with guitar. From your reactions you would like money game part 1 and 2.
Definitely agree, he’d love both Money Game’s
While I do agree with you, I would also say that when it comes to "Hip-Hop," you have to remember too that it's a culture, not just a genre of music so if your music/culture doesn't fit in with "hip-hop" culture, and you're calling what you are doing "hip-hop" then people who are very protective of that culture and music are going to take issue with it and/or not like what they hear. Rapping is rapping, but hip-hop has rules and when you step outside of those rules, the purists get their feathers ruffled.
I think what everyone loves about Ren the most is his versatility, I wouldn't says he's the best at anything, but he can compete in everything.
I think you should take a look at the songs Humble, and Fire, both by Ren obviously. They will give you a couple more sides of Ren for you to pick from
I have to go in with some actual facts: it's not the females turning to the violent men, trying to find something familiar to what she grew up with. It's the violent men - the predators - who search for the broken and easy to manipulate-girls.
We need to change the narrative we use as a society about domestic violence, because as long as there's room for people to believe it's somewhat the females own fault for being beaten to a pulp or in worst case scenario killed, because we as a society have such a hard time to take in that some people grow up to be predators and others their punching bags, this wheel will keep spinning. The abusive adults will keep feeding our communities with young adults with too much PTSD to function on their own.
Mistreat a child enough and this is, extremely simplified, the end product:
A predator. A victim.
Tell Terry hi from me!

From STHLM, Sweden
not all police officers are armed. but they have as well some armed officers. If they need armed forced they can call them.
Go for What you want by Ren
Shout out to BIG Terry, do your work.
Please take that enthusiastic approach and revisit Ren's other work again! Im sure you will appreciate that Ren can rap not just in the Tales but in his other work! Ren is an amazing artist whose storytelling abilities are top-notch! You might also consider listening to the ending of Violet's tale to fully get the connection in the story😊
Listen to Hunger, Genesis, Power, Money Game part 2... If you want know if he's a rapper.
H,Mack freestyles for the cast of transformes riseof the beasts❤🔥❤🔥💯❤🔥❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥✌with Tobe Nwigwe💥💥💥
Please try Genesis, I still feel that you’ve not seen the best of him yet in terms of rap (also beat making) and that will definitely put any doubt to rest in terms of him being an MC of a high caliber.
Try animal flow (live)
You miss a lot running the mouth when you don’t pause. Please pause.
Becsuse you've allowed yourself to fall into narrow assesnent of certain styles. Let it all go and just litren. Just close your eyes and listen.
U didnt get Animal Flow is all.
You'd probably like animal flow acoustic.I think it's just not traditional rap so perhaps not your thing .
18:37 i am a metalhead my whole life and i "hate" some metallica songs :D
You missed it!
22:38 ok. this is a cultural problem for evbody. and its similar to ur earlier argument abt violet internalizing normal violence,, the problem is that our expectations are too high and our assumptions are too limited. this is the problem of the genre issue. remember that genre schema began as a marketing scheme and often times a tool for racial and cultural division. we need a new way to describe music on its own terms and merits, a new balance to our expectations and assumptions that is based on personal and community knowledge and experience, less on the limited /freedom of choice/ the markets provide us. we need to decide what we want and like on our own, and we make it ourselves (aided, not guided by tech) and it will be what it is and be called by its name. its an idea.
the other thing about the difference btwn this and animal flow (also my least fav ren track) is the extent of production. when theres more than ren playing out the action, it just becomes extraneous and distracting and frustrating. ren is like reading a book- its his words and your images, but his performance that catalyzes the two. when hes trying to go all Marvel with a noisy video with every image already provided, its less impressive on the mind and soul bcuz it frustrates the opposing images that are already conjured in ur mind. this is why im afraid the for the money game pt3 drop. im also very excited, but preparing to be disappointed. its been hyped so much as 'the craziest thing ever' and sounds like they kind of had somewhat unltd resources, that makes me worry. from a moving image standpoint, thats often what ruins good directors when theyre not ready to expand. it hasnt been necessary to their message yet. but then theyre thrown big budgets and suddenly great prospects like christopher nolan and darren aronofsky fall flat when their restrictions are taken away, when the tools of human connection/separation (technology) are inserted into the process unnessessarily for moneys sake. but all that is to say something like animal flow was a fun experiment (theyre Master Amateurs, learning as they go) but the lesson there is to draw back and keep the focus on ren. nothing else is needed. cept sometimes his crew
Hey man you watched the story and you don't come on the end Get your game together
If you don't think Ren can rap listen to Losing it and see if you still have the same opinion...
MAN I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS BUT YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO DAPPY TRILL...
Come on.Dude REN didn't have anything you have except talent & drive You.just sitting on your biscuit whining can't even manage a UA-cam subscription. How many records have you.had again ? 😂
