In the 1830's The Shell Trading Company began selling exotic sea shells. They imported tropical shells and sold them as shell bejeweled boxes and such. The importer (Marcus Samuel) was able to control the flow of shells and manipulate supply and demand. His son's inherited and began also selling kerosene and eventually the Shell Oil Company was born and still exists today. So this video using selling sea shells is amazing. (and also based on historical fact).

Funny thing is that most people are introduced to Ren through "Hi Ren" where he says "Ren, mate, we've heard it all before, Uh, 'she sells seashells on the sea shore'". Everyone just assumes he's referencing the nursery rhyme, but really he's referencing this song, which in itself is referencing the nursery rhyme.

Brother on the left understood this song on a level that we're all meant to understand.... Thank you guys for awesome reaction!

Good for you for teaching your son media literacy.

The man can do the lyrics and the rapping and then where other artists would bring in someone to do the chorus vocal hook he just does it himself and makes ir sound like an rnb legend.

Great reaction. Part 3 is commmmming soon. Super excited!

eyyyyy! my guy Ren! I have to sing this one out loud everytime. I can't even express my excitement for Money Game #3

Two chilled guys great reaction as always! I’m glad you’re partner in crime is back missed not having him next too you! Thanks for the reactions.

Thank you your thoughtful Analysis. You were completely on point with your breakdown, I guess Game recognizes game.

The other guy is back! Let's go! Been wondering where he been at lol another great reaction to one of the greats in REN! Sweet Little Lady by Ren/The Big Push is insane! Also the acoustic version too!

👍 nice reaction thumbs up as always

I really enjoy y'all's content! Always an excellent reaction 🔥 Ren is just different from a lot of artists and I'm so glad we all have found him and his unique music. He speaks straight truth in lyrics as in this song. Look forward to the next reaction 💜

Yes so glad you have done this one. All ready for when MG3 drops 🙌

Yet another great reaction guys !

This is the one right here 🎯

You gave your son some wisdom there! My kids are all grown now but we talked about that a lot when they were young and I can tell it did influence the way they understand these things now. Even when we can’t tell if our kids are listening, they are.

Great reaction fellows and been subbed for a while because of good content.

Love your Ren reactions👍💕🦇

This is my first time watching you guys. I really love how you break it down and can relate to Rens words. And what you said about if someone listening to Ren and dont get anything out of it .. there is definitely something wrong with them lol

As always, an intelligent and thoughtful response ☮

Great reaction I can’t wait to see you next time

Man this is definitely one of my favourite Ren Tracks! 🔥🔥🔥 Definitely a 10/10 Money game part 3 with Knox Hill coming soon guys! It's going to be Epic!

love the reaction guys keep it up

Great reaction from you both!! Much ❤you get it❤

Fantastic breakdown of the song and its meaning.

Appreciate you guys appreciating this! ❤

This guy is really awsome At so many levels Different styles but ALWAYS in the higher quality (xcuse my french) Kisses and good continuing 🤙

Ren's storytelling is so great. From The Tales of Jenny & Screech to Money Game (parts1&2), you get so absorbed in the story that you forget it's just a song. Great reaction guys!

Have you seen Ren’s ‘Crucify your Culture’ yet guys! It’s next level! 🤯👌🏻

I like this one more than part 1. Blessings from Puerto Rico.

Excellent perspective guys. Really enjoy your reactions

Good react gentlemen, def subbed. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for the reaction! 👍 🔥

This is where the line about "She sells sea shells" in 'Hi Ren' came from , it was a reference that went over a lot of heads (mine too) because we all didn't know 'old ren' yet.

Ren is an artist that only comes along once in a lifetime. Incredible.

Cool.

Love your reactions

Man, that Prime lesson was bloody great. I will be stealing it 😊

Thanks for reacting to Ren!

Facts landing on ears that get it. Nice one

Taking value out of society....... so true 🇬🇧❤

Couldn't agree more. 10 out of 10 ALL DAY.

🙏🦉❤️👍🐊 great reaction, part 3 out soon enough

Love your reaction.

The facts are around your kneck with the gold chain. There are vaults filled with gold bullions not doing anything or going anywhere, it's only sitting in them vaults to up the price of gold. You then pay huge sales tax on that gold because apparently it's rare, even though there is enough gold bullions for almost everyone to have 1 each or at least 1 per household.

Money game 3 coming soon cant wait!! Ren is Iconic!!

The greatest part of this reaction is watching you both look at each other with big eyes about the money game. If y'all do a reaction or just for yourselves, look up "The Creature from Jekyll Island" and figure out what really happened.

thank you for continuing to react and support my favourite artist ever ❤❤

Good job boys

he talks about selling sea shells in Hi Ren

Bam ❤

Ren is a sanger sanger...great reaction guys

🔥🔥❤✌

funfact: "she sells seashells on the sea shore" is about a real woman, Mary Anning, who was a fossil hunter during the Victorian period. she became such an expert in Jurassic seabed fossils that doctors of paleontology would travel from around the world just to talk to her, a woman who wasn't even allowed to get a college education at the time. however, Ren's version of the story isn't about her. It's about the Shell Trading Company. who bought up beaches in tropical regions in order to collect exotic shells and bring them back to britain and sell them to the upper class. This company is now one of the largest petrocompanies, Shell PLC

Great reaction, if like this try crucify your culture, its 🔥 keep up good work thanks boys

If you guys re listen to hi ren, now you will understand where the "she sells seashells on the seashore" line in that came from

❤

I love Ren ,and thanks for not smoking 💪👍 much better guys. Btw I’m a smoker myself 😎

Great reaction. Can we get that NF-REMEMBER THIS react 🤔

Ren is thick with Reggae influences.

A great follow up to this is “Crucify Your Culture”

She sells sea shells on the sea shore, it’s also important to understand, that if you are on the sea shore, you’ve no need to buy sea shells.

Boss show boys,🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉a ren🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉RENISIS

I love that Ren referenced this track in his Hi Ren song "We've heard it all before, she sells sea shells on the seashore"

She sells sea shells is not a nursery rhyme. It's a tongue twister.

5:15 is so real tho

Crusefy your culture 🤘😎 check it out !

Of course in a physical sense, all trade is a zero sum game. What you’re selling isn’t just matter though. You’re selling value, and value is ultimately in the eye of the beholder. That’s why and iphone is always gonna be more expensive that the cost of the component parts and labour. Because a pile of metals and a bunch of humans laying about doing nothing ain’t very valuable. So the money game isn’t originally meant to just pass around the same old things in a way that just ends up with corruption. The main purpose is to maximise the value of as many things as possible as efficiently as possible, ending up with a richer economy as a whole. The corruption is just a consequence of that, but said consequence has taken over the whole money game.

Great review as usual! I highly recommend REN’s crucify your culture! ❤

PLEASE, PLEASE CHECK OUT 'OCEAN', 'DEAR GOD', 'DO YOU BELIEVE?' This song is an inner dialogue and it's probably the most watched & reacted to song in the world. It touches us all. For fun & amazing breadth of talent check out 'THE HUNGER, 'LOSING IT', 'POWER', MONEY GAME PART 2 & THE PUSH I SHOT THE SHERRIF. There are more & more, his talent is endless, he speaks for the world, to the world.

Can you imagine a big label backing this? I can't. Ren's on the right side of the money game. No one is perfect, but we can all do better.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤🍻🇺🇲

Can you pleeease do genesis by ren. I know you'll love it. Yall are my favorite reactors ❤

is it also a critique to Shell the corp.?

Modren day bob marley

Introduce homie to H👽Mack, maybe do Omegle Bars #70 or his... 'Rap Coltrane EP, Fully Improvised Freestyle Project' That last one is also mindblowing and 🔥🔥🔥 Keep shining and stay safe 🙏🏼

Ever watch 8-Mile?

Dont let your son drink PRIME. The ingredients are terrible. Thats my 2 cents. Great reaction though as always

This song is also what he was referring back to in Hi Ren with this part: Man, you're not original, you criminal, rip-off artist. The pinnacle of your success is stealing other people's material. Ren, mate, we've heard it all before Uh, "she sells seashells on the sea shore"

I feel this is how they sold people on the jabs; influencers, putting people to shame who didn't get them and making believe they would run out - that whole campaign was like a tellsell infomercial. This video was made in 2020 so that makes sense. Glad you reacted to this one finally!

King "Doodoo" Dotta just released a ren diss track. It's got some ...ok jabs but the rest weak sauce. Ren posed it on his community tab, says he's gonna have some fun with this one...

I did the exact same with my son when he wanted prime. I explained it exactly how you did. 🫡🫡
