It was recorded live.

He’s just very special. Ren has such a deep love for our survival. We need to listen.

Rain Rain, rain rain, a storm it comes our way.

It was all live, even the piano and strings. Crazy execution. Just his acting that all out in basically one shot is amazing.

I thought the reflection of his head in the lid of the grand piano was clever. I thought ducking under the handshake of the two businessmen was really clever. I thought the passage between "Makes a move against the cartel", including smoke grenades, to "the doctor sighs and says I don't think you'll be walking again", & the timing of the arrival of the wheelchair and the sound of the bottle rolling on the floor - this whole part was fucking genius ! By far my favourite part.

Andrew Lloyd Webber said it was genius and I agree . Ren is just outside the Matrix and has incredible wisdom beyond his years

Watched so many reviews and your the first one to notice its the money game theme on the string .great spot bro

You got the message just right, its not really the money that's the problem, its what you are willing to sacrifice for it , relationships, integrity ,conscience, humanity , kindness, empathy ,love , and is it really worth it to have power over the world if you loose the world doing it . Ren is asking some timely questions that humanity needs to have answers for if we wish to survive . Fantastic reaction ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Congratulations to Ren for UK number one in the album charts. It’s incredible that he’s gone from underground to world-class with zero promotion from a record label or touring.

This was written before Dotta so he used this for Dotta

Yay! I'm glad someone else noticed the similarity of the king dotta diss for that part. Love your reactions. You definitely know what you are talking about. ✌

Love the humming at the beginning, wish he would do a whole song like that🙂

"My solution....................................." That hanging line carries so much weight. A very powerful message.

If havent seen his live feed of Money game treasure Hunt, you should watch from when they find the ren flag and find treasure the video message at end . Wow no words

I'm jumping up and down so happy to hear you catch the fact that this money Game is physically describing the first 2. Wow! I didn't register that the computer was vintage but Ren is so detailed he probably did it because Jimmy dies at 45 in 2023 so that computer was new when Jimmy was 14-16. Always so impressed with Ren and this was an excellent reaction 😊

The question "when you have all the money in the world, what good would you do with it". Knowing the way the world works now it looks like the awnser is "nothing". Thats my take on his intricate message in this triology.

Great catch on the violin/viola mirroring the original money game chorus melody. I've lost count of how many times I've watched this video now, but I still hadn't picked up on that. Brilliant reaction - thank you!

Incredible production and all with one tiny cut when he gets in the wheel chair and the camera pans behind him. Such a talent. Routing for him to get number in the uk

You're right about the dumb king come reference. I hear it all throughout the song. Pretty cool.

Another brilliant creation from Ren!

His best video by far!! And a one take (with a subtle transition before the strings section), but just wow. Great reaction dude!!

God damn you know his catalogue well, :bow

A beautiful soul sharing his thoughts through his powerful talent of communicating with his love and hard determination to make this world a better place through Art... 👌❤

I like how the first storytelling scene is the narrator looking into a mirror, which ties back to the demand of MG 1&2 to do exactly that "But we like to point the blame, blame, blame, blame / It's easier to blame / But point the mirror at ourselves / We're all part of this old money game" And, yes, you're remembering correctly: "Rain, rain, rain, rain / A storm, it comes our way," and in this video, Jimmy's perspective evolves when he comes in from the rain. My favorite part is the choreography and camera work/angles. It's so detailed and perfectly timed. And the colors and quality of the video is so lush. It's all gorgeous even without the music. Crazy talent.

I interpret it like this : his Dad kept pushing him to make more money and more money and power and more power ! No matter how rich or powerful he got his Dad was never proud of him...told him it's not good enough! When his Dad died he was pissed because he never gained his Dad's approval so he spiraled down still trying to make his Dad proud until he lost the use of his legs. That's when he finally realized his Dad was wrong about doing whatever it takes for fortune and fame! Wanting to be your best and succeed is fine but not at the expense of hurting or killing people and selling your soul, having none of the precious things in life (friends, love, family, etc)

Absolute fire 🔥 watched it over 50 times 😂🖤

He does it in Hi Ren as well, not just the King Dotta reaction. I saw a lot of the themes in Hi Ren resurface in this video which I thought was interesting as this was I think, his fait accompli from the beginning. Everything's connected, like it or not. The whole album somehow circles back on itself with such cunning intelligence. Thank you, Ren, and thank you FTB and all the reactors for this much needed and possibly healing journey he's taken us on together. This is I believe, the start of a Renaissance.

You're the first reactor to tie all three together. Corruption, greed, crime, all chasing money instead of life, and enjoying the moments that make life enjoyable. Great reaction

Fantastic reaction Sir. I discovered Ren last year, and I have cried and laughed along with his songs. I suffer with depression , so its great that I can so relate to him. Thank you very much for your video 👍👏

You are the first reactor that felt the King Dotta diss delivery. You don't just see it... but you feel the delivery. Thank you for validating what I seen! Great reaction to Ren...you were in this 110% and appreciated your take on it 🙏

Nice reaction. Some reactors did not watch MG1 &2... so it was nice that you caught the subtle callback melodies and references from Money Game 1. I think Ren refers to them as Hostage Bags... like we are all a hostage to the power of money.

Rain, rain, rain... a storm it comes our way.... Ren does it again.

The masked man is you. It is me too. It is her. It is all of us. We are all participants in the human Money Game. That is the symbolism. Our choice is to recognize the simple fact and determine how we personally act while playing the Money Game. Jimmy is the example of pure and utter excess. Thank you for the reaction, FTB.

All live. Brilliant.

Little bit like "Matrix" and Ren is having the "red pill effect" in front of the mirror...

Love the tunes from the Yamaha and those strings; wanted more.

Oh my God it is a masterpiece

Really Nice reaction to another #masterpiece from Ren 🤩

Loved the reaction!❤

What a insightful reaction to this beautiful and important piece of art, thank you😊🫶😊

Live, one take, with many cameras. Knox Hill was onset to,confirm. Great reaction great detail

Ren has made music important again. No, All You Need Is Love is not a really good answer, but Ren forces us to understand that hate is no answer at all. I, a man aged 65, have cried for hours watching these perfect videos and I wish this will be just the beginning of a generation landslide… the world needs you, Ren, right now you are the only one who reaches the heart of EVERYONE. Use your powers, Ren, make everybody understand that nothing makes sense without love.

Thanks for a great react.. fantastic video and song…

I’m impressed that you made the King Dotta connection, well done - here’s maybe a lyrical one - in the dis “You’re losing the race” - here “you’re losing the race you’re just a slave to the king” Could be a stretch but it hit me right away. The man has to be a film maker, yes? He’s obviously got profound things to say & he’s just getting started. Long may he reign! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼✌🏻

He put out a video of the rehearsal with the string instruments. You should check it on your own. It's pretty cool.

You said it , Humanity, Ren is talking to humanity and wrestles with humans just unbelievably talented

Poor Jimmy; he had so much potential and it was frittered away solely in the pursuit of money and power. At the end, his health has suffered and he is left, despairing, to put a bullet in his brain. Even when he’s dead, what has he created (nothing), and who even will bother to remember him, let alone mourn his passing because he had no time for relationships. Thanks to his upbringing, he was a man of no substance, an empty vessel, who lived a joyless life.

Jimmy = James aka a boy named Screech….. Thanks for the reactions. Blessings 🙏🏻🪶💖🎶🐺

At 11:24 ... that line got your attention! Wish you'd have paused! But i know... watching the first time its Hard to do so!!!

Ren and Sam ... another great work of art!

Just found your channel, great reaction you really saw stuff that many people miss, and you were really respectful and genuine in your response. I couldn't agree more Ren and his crew are FIRE🔥🔥🔥

Ren is different and special. We must protect him at all costs #RENicornKing🦄 👑

One thing I don't see mentioned in the comments is the metaphor of his dad in our lives. His dad is the "voice" of this society we live in, our neighbours, close and distant relatives, friends etc. We need to be wise as Ren says in the end, to filter out these voices that push us to be part of this money game. Maybe it's a stretch, but this is my take on this whole story. This is the only solution Ren proposes, but it only works for individuals: be wise, cherish your relationships, nurture the kids so they don't become "sheep", and don't let the expectations of your community/society drive you to Jimmy's end. Money is not inherently evil, but people are stupid one way or another. Money is only a tool to achieve our goals, it shouldn't be our goal to have more money, else you will "take more from the cookie jar than you need" and forget why you even started. In my eyes being wise in this context means to always remember stories like this so you know when to step on the breaks and take a look around you.

Dude you were so locked on to that , felt it , nice

The man said we're like mold. 😂 Love Ren.

Really insightful reaction. Thank you. ♥️♥️♥️🔥🔥🔥

Yes, that's Ren playing piano at the beginning! He also composed the music for piano and strings! Except for the opening couple of bars. He directed the video and produced the music/audio. It was recorded live but it's not quite one take. They had to make a single edit, before the water, as the 'rain machine' was being temperamental. Yet another incredible and masterful performance from Ren and overall, an absolute masterpiece... again! :)

I have got the album already! Let’s go! 🔥👌❤️

Great reaction and insightful commentary. Thx!

It's live , he can see his mic on his shoulder. A real Masterpiece.

Liked your summary. And I am blown away by this entire production. It rewards rewatching and really listening to the message.

Loved this reaction-thanks for spotlighting REN’s and the whole crew’s talent. Liked the way you picked up on the musical and symbolic callbacks to the previous Money Games too ❤

Great reaction…enjoyed watching with you.

chills

You are a deep and observant reactor FTB, worthy of the great artist that you are covering. I enjoyed your insights, and have subscribed. Best wishes from the UK.

Can't wait to watch with you 🎶🎶❤️🎶🎶

REN considers this song as his best on the CD. A lot of hard work went into this one. It was almost done in a one take but they had to do that as another one shot for when it started raining. REN is just a sponge with the knowledge he has and that sponge keeps sucking up facts on any topic. He is one of a kind!!

The only guy in the video that has removed the money game hangman's paraphernalia (not just a mask) ends up wanting to put a gun to his head... Maaaan this guy hits nails on heads

Oh, no! I have a new favorite reactor!!! You are amazing. I can't wait to see more -- I'm looking forward to more Ren and to exploring your back catalog and other artists. Thanks for a fantastic video!

Great reaction you picked up on so much. Ren is beyond talent!

Hell of an ear to pick up that Money Game theme being played by the strings. Should buy a keyboard and learn some chords and music theory. You're a natural with that ear.

Message in a bottle

Loved your insightful reaction & that you connected all the dots. New sub

Thank you! I didn't notice the violin(s) were playing the money game theme; I was basically only listening to Ren and the strings were heard but background music that I didn't pay close attention to.

Best reaction i've seen so far for ME.U pointed out so many Things that i thought of as i've seen his song/Video the first time.But also u mentioned so many Things that i didn't caught so far and i loved it.

When he grabs the camera, taking hold of the perspective. So smart, blows me away. To be fair, Ren blows me away consistently.

Ren and Sam produced it.

First time watching you and loved this reaction! Hearing you picking out different elements of the first two was awesome. I love how Ren weaves a story across many songs and you can hear elements of one thing in another. Outstanding.

Ren should really get into 🎥 🎞 film.

Great reaction! ❤ The moment that strikes hots me the hardest (not on the first listen though) is that his example is just an exaggerated versions of Ren and us.

Thanks for diving in and sharing. We all we got✌️

Yeah, just like Money Game 1, it's a live music video. The album version sounds very very different. His broach on the lapel of his suit jacket had a hidden mic. He also said there were a ton of ambient mics disguised everywhere. He said mastering and mixing this video was a complete nightmare.

The point is repetition. If you didn't hear the safety sound of the pistol pressed in the final seconds, you didn't get it

Nice reaction to this crazy-good masterpiece!

He is amazing storyteller. You do get locked into the story but its also true story real things. He believes in people. I watch one of his interviewers. He believes we can be better and do better. He is very smart man. He knows his history and economics. He is teaching it in his music. I agree with you about too.

Excellent job with the reaction!

Love all REN’s work. Subbing.

Thanks for a great review

Very entertaining reaction. It's nice to see when people pick up on and appreciate the little details he no doubtedly painstakingly weaved into this masterpiece.

Great reaction to master piece !

Great reaction! You caught all the details that most don't. Rain, rain rain, rain, the storm it comes our way. Subbed.

There will be a behind the scenes video coming out on premium first then a couple weeks later for the rest of us. Hope you buying his album, he is hoping for a top 100 in the US.

Beautiful reaction ❤

Great reaction, thank you 🙏🦉❤️🐊👍

It seems like only you and me brother that spotted the battle rap just like the king dotta funeral that Ren performed. ❤

Great reaction ❤❤❤

Great job!!!

Loved the ending. Rain, rain, rain, w/o the lyrics.

Bro... he made #1 on the UK charts for Sick Boi album!!! Theres 2 songs he saved for the album release... myself... i say theyre the Best Two off the album! Wicked Ways and Seven Sins... Absolutely MUST DOs!!!!!!! PS... Audio Tracks Only... No videos... trust me... Highly Worth doing!!!! PSS... I Know you saw my last post... just reminding ya! 😊

Wonderful reaction, brother. Thank you.
