Life goals: Find someone who looks at me like Shea looks at a Ren video

He even slid in the "Next Episode" by Dr Dre in there, the intro was homage to Damien Marley to

Someone’s in loooove. Lol! You’re super right about how ridiculous talent

What more do you need on a Tuesday night then a scatting Welsh rapper chilling in LA x

Ren makes me happy. Your reactions make me happy. What a revelation Ren is. Cant wait for his album. Lets gooooooo Ren

Love Music Part 4 Thursday AND physical SICK BOI album preorders and ALL the information TOMORROW!

Ren was asking for other artists and/or reactors to talk to live on Twitch, so I suggested you, along with a few others. But I really enjoy your Ren reactions and think it would be fun to see you have a little back and forth. Go to his community page and nominate yourself!

Tidbits from barrington levy's "murderer", damian marleys "welcome to jamrock" and dr.dre's "the next episode" and ini kamozes "world a music (out in the streets they call it merther)" that is a sample on welcome to jamrock in there. Filmed on August 8th in Los Angeles. Fun fact: "Merther" is basically the term for listening to reggae while smoking weed. The "merging" of it. Just loved it very much. Oh and also: There is a version of "murderer" from barrington levy featuring none other than rakim himself. AND it came out on the birthday of hip hop. Which makes the dre bit even more significant. Also because LA. :D

When you smile i know ,my day will be good. You are so tonic😊

It is LA. He made this a few days ago. I love the fact that when he does these unplugged versions he changes the style of them so much they stand as tracks on their own, I can't wait for Thursday when he drops Love Music Pt 4... Subbed cus your reactions are great

I love seeing you love Ren. Thank you for reacting to him. I love this version especially with those little additions: blip blip blip... And that bluesy guitar solo! There was a nod to a famous West Coast rapper... Dr Dre and more. However, I still think the original is magnificent. We are so blessed to have Ren

Your face is so joyous watching Ren. It just makes me smile so much!! And you’re right - it is Ren the industry should be hyping!!

It makes my day to watch you react to a Ren song! You can see how much be just loves music in everything he does. How many people would see/hear the original Murderer video and think, I know, let’s make that into an acoustic version?! I can’t even get started on your pop music comments as I’ll rant forever, but you’re exactly right. Take care!

Ren is all about sharing love and I love the way you grab a huge chunk of it! This is such an uplifting performance witnessing his immense skills. Can't wait for the album! Perfect reaction.

I’m a 35 year old single Dad but always get excited when I see you’ve reacted to Ren 🤣👍

Looking forward to hearing you play guitar, that's so cool great reaction as always, have a fantastic day 🦋

Love hearing a reactor I respect sharing the same feelings about this incredible GENIUS ❤ Keep the Ren reactions coming. Thank you 😀

I just love it when he does these acoustic versions of his Raps!😊❤ya REN!

Brilliant reaction video, again,. The thing with Ren is he is a true, natural, LIVE performer. His songs are sensational because they require an uninhibited interaction between performer and audience for maximum effect. This is why almost all his video's are shot in a totally organic way. Never losing that " personal connection " between Ren and every single one of us. It always feels like he is singing to us directly ... because he actually is. This skill can only be achieved, and perfectly honed, via years of " busking ", which is the ultimate way of a performer connecting his / her message with their audience. I totally agree with you, this version is eons ahead of the recorded version ( which I also enjoyed but find a lot more " predictable " and " industry friendly " Reni s a BARDCORE, FUNKY PUNK JAZZ- MASTER 🙏

Hello, it is a brilliant version 😊😊

The intro was a line/melody from Damian Marley - Jamrock, and after the guitar solo Ren had the melody line from Dr. Dre!

A least you won't blush on this version 😉

This acoustic version is great. Ren is just an incredible artist.

I love the way you get us British people, ren is so brill, it you really seem to get him and us. Your sound. Much love from the U.K. xx

It was so much fun watching you on this reaction. I agree that music can be therapy - just listening to it, and especially playing/singing. Ren himself has said that his music helps him, and especially helped him when he was sickest. On learning the guitar, keep in mind that he's been playing for over 20 years so be patient with your own progress in learning. See you again!

It IS Los Angeles

First comment!!!! Love Ren!

The thing about playing guitar, or any musical instrument, is that the act of playing does something healthy to your brain. It's the kind of workout that the brain likes. So don't fret over skills ;) they'll come, just make tooling around on the guitar a daily occurrence and you'll be amazed at how good it'll make you feel, regardless of whether you're as technically adept as anyone else. And yeah, this version is fire. I especially love the melodic and well timed shout out to Dre.

Look at Ren in Cali living the good life lol..this is when he's doing his best work IMO. When he puts something with an acoustic guitar he never misses, and you'll learn it. Takes a lot of time tho, I started at 13 and by the time I was 20 that's when I actually could say I knew what I was doing lol. Get the basic scales down and chords, and focus on finger placement. Very important, takes a while for hands to get guitar strong

😁🇫🇮💙🪄🎼✨💯🤘 Ren is gonna win ewry Music Awards this year 👍🎉💙🇫🇮

This is a remake of a old reggae classic

Great reaction again. It's definitely LA. Fun fact: Ren has inspired me to dust off my old guitar.......and sell it!!

Love the reaction to this video, I feel if Ren got in contact with you and said you and me interview, you'd think all you Christmas's had come at once

Love your reaction. Good luck with your guitar lessons ? and remember ' Practice makes perfect '

I feel like going unplugged on these very energetic/powerful or in this case even agressive tracks provides such an interesting contrast that if done well it actually brings out the themes in a song. My favorite example (besides Rem, obviously) are Yellowcard’s Breathing or Ocean Avenue which are like completely different songs in acoustic as opposed to the originals

I love the way you share your love for Ren I feel the same way! Much love for you and your reactions 💯❤️✌️

Love your reaction. Thought I’d heard it all, but I’ve because me a fan boy - just love original talent. ❤

He films it in the area of the Hillside Murders back in 77? You know how deep he is! Unreal

New entry in the 2023 Webster Dictionary: Definition of a true artist (with a capital A): Someone like Ren Gill. Don't you agree?! Fantastic reactions to Ren's work. Good job

That’s the Hollywood Hills. My son hikes to that spot all the time.

Your an angel and so cool how you see rens music as so good cuz i agree hes a modern legend. thanks for the video.

Universal love vibes of all sorts floating round here. ❤😂❤you make me grin.

great reaction!!

I look forward to seeing your reactions to Ren!!

love music part 4 is out this week another banger from the genius called Ren ❤❤❤

Learning to play a guitar, is a never ending process, give yourself 10 years, and you will be amazing. Always have it next to where you sit mostly and pick it up and put it down frequently, and it will become your friend.

That opening riff gave me sublime vibes

I watched this live when he released it. He was in the chat and so was..... Dr Dre. Ren gave him a shoutout. It makes wonder if Dr. Dre wants to start producing Ren as his next Eminem protegé.

Magic 💖🎵🎶🎵

I would love to hear what you think to my favourite band ever. The fella fronting this song is my dear pal, Gavin McGinty. The whole band are all singer songwriting geniuses from Dundee in Scotland. They would all show up, as fans, at each others gigs and would often be asked up on stage to play one of their songs at each others performances. This led them to getting together, to rehearse and play a set of songs by each member with all the others as their band members (? I hope that makes sense ) They first appeared at a Scottish music festival and the organiser asked what they were called. They didn't even have a name, so he said " Well I have to put you on the bill as something, so Gav said " We are Anderson, McGinty, Webster, ward & Fisher ... so that was what they went out under for, what they assumed was just going to be a few gigs. They were so amazingly received, however, that they kept the band going and toured intensively as AMWWF ( the abbreviated version ) then Robbie Ward left due to other commitments, so they became AMWF but finally adopted the name Sinderins after a historical part of Dundee. Anyway, apologies for the long winded intro, but I hope you might " deep dive " into these amazing friends of mine. Individually, they are all genius ... collectively they are all geniuses 🙂 .... as with Ren, these boys are on another level when they play live

Did you catch how Ren incorporated the Dr. Dre riff from "Next Episode" ft. Snoop Dog, after the phrase "Blood Splat"? I bet Ren did this as a tribute to Dre. Also after the Toblerone line he say's "Beotch" this time instead of "Bitch" as an homage to the rapper who made the pronunciation of that slang famous, Snoop Dog, probibly because he's recording this in L.A. ❤🤯❤

Your commentary at 9:43 is spot on!!! I agree 100%.

❤❤❤

It's LA. I was wondering what he was doing there when it was said, but now we all know. I also like this just a little more than the heavily produced original.

Be Your Highest Good.

His articulation is amazing, especially knowing that The Kings English is his 2nd language ❣️

You bought a guitar?!? What did you get? Sorry, if you say later, but I just heard you say that at the beginning. I'm a former guitarist in a touring band. I'd love to see what you bought! I have several. Gibson Explorer (love this one- was my main touring guitar), Ibanez 7 string, Les Paul Traditional, Washburn electric acoustic, Alvarez classical acoustic, Ibanez 6-string, and the first guitar I ever bought- a no name brand with nearly a 1/4" of action so it FORCED me have proper hand positioning because...it sucked, but actually helped...in some respects. Anywho- kudos to you for buying a guitar! There are so many places on youtube to learn the basics that you'll be playing in no time. I bought my first one before the internet really existed in how we know it now so I would listen to CDs (remember those...lol) of my favorite bands and just listen, rewind, attempt- repeat. Until I got it.

As usual, I loved your reaction. The new live acoustic version of “Murderer” is incredible and my favorite of the two, and The LA skyline at dusk looks beautiful. I recently learned that “Murderer was actually written and recorded before “Hi Ren.” Marty DeHart (@Parula06) shared that the live acoustic performance was shot in LA a couple of days before its release, but the original video was shot in Brighton in the Spring of 2022. The song, apart from the original melody and lyrics, gives a nod to Barrington Levy’s "Murderer," Damian Marley’s "Welcome to Jamrock," Dr.Dre's "The Next Episode," and Ini Kamoze’s "World A Music,” with some Sublime vibes in the mix, yet, the song is unmistakably a Ren original. Pete Eley (@PeteEley01) suggested that the guitar riff (in the middle of the song) is a nod to Django Reinhardt. Black Pegasus (@BlackPegasusRaps) was the first to point out that the verse “out in the streets they call it murder” is originally from an Ini Kamoze song, “World A Music,” released in 1983, and that the line was made famous when Damian Marley sang it on “Welcome to Jamrock.” Hexenkind1 (@Hexenkind1) explained that it is actually “out in the streets they call it merther” in the original. "Merther" is the "merging" of listening to reggae while smoking weed.

Right you are... Love you... Errm... You know. :) Regards.

🩵👌🏼

Best thing since sliced bread 😅

even if you are not getting as good as our gifted fella Ren - if you have fun with the insrument, there is no need for talent or "craftsmenship" ...

Ren got number 1 in the UK album charts last night. For an independent artist, it's an incredible achievement. Add in all the health issues and obstacles he faces, and it's just beyond amazing. There is a video of him finding out which made me cry with joy. I'll find the link and send it in a reply. I'm so proud of him and the global community(RENagades) he's managed to cultivate. He's insanely talented and deserves everything he is getting g at the moment. My journey started with hi ren when I was in a dark place, and it saved me, so thank you, @renmakesmusic, for everything you give us. Peace and love to you all

❤

It’s great rendition. Yes, that is LA.

😇

that was LA shea, he paid tribute to snoop with the way he said biatch n not bitch n paid tribute to DR DRE with the guitar riff in verse 2 from a dre song

It’s LA, thus the nod to Dr, Dre.

When they don’t recognize the Dr Dre guitar line after the solo

The view looks like Luton from Stockingstone Hill!

It is LA

1:27

During the fast rap portion, Ren plays a Snoop Dogg song on his guitar (Snoop Dooooooog! Nah nah nah nah nah. It's the mothafukin D O double g.)

DRE

Mary me.

Ren mentioned a bit ago that he has the possibility of a number 1 album as an independent producer/artist. This would be brilliant, spread the idea on your site and let's stick it to the Mainstream Media who refuse to acknowledge independent artists.

You look like Ren was standing in the corner while you recorded this 🤣

Init😂

You seemed to have missed the part to Dre in this song

Hey how's the guitar playing going?

Just try to be best guitar player you can be. Ren is different man. I think people that played for years, knows zero chance they can be that guy lol. Let him inspire you. Just don’t gauge progress on a Ren scale lol.

K you paused immediately to gush. I don't get it. He plays and sings like a thousand other regular entertainers. It is weird seeing people taken by a mania.

asking for $40 to $50 on is shameless. wow. no love for music. just milk it

Too much non musicians ! In the field today ! Thats why everyone is jumping on Rens raw talent & he has it all !!!! He is showing off good for him !!!! Ren go brother
