That’s him playing the piano! And yes, it’s live

Nah, he spiraled when his Dad died because he never did actually get his Dad’s approval that he was constantly striving for. He could never do enough, never be enough.

Only Ren could get the the “rain rain rain rain” line into the video without words, how does just one guy with just a grand piano and a string quartet can reduce a 3 hour movie into 9 minutes and make it so unbelievably good. Ren is a true master of his art

Ren has been told for years he looks like Thomas Shelby (Cillian Murphy) He's used to hearing it, He was in LA recently & someone said "Hey do you know who you look like?" & he thought here it comes, But the man said "You look like that Ren Dude" Ren hopes one day someone will tell Cillian Murphy he looks like Ren!

There is a BTS video by Wolfe Johnson that will clear up any doubts you have about this production

He can’t keep disguising himself as human when he keeps making masterpieces on a regular basis

It's Ren playing the first piano piece

Wrong, It's live and there's only one cut, just before the string quartet is shown and it's Ren who's playing the piano at the beginning. The Wolf Johnson made a 2 1/2 hour behind the scenes documentary of the making of Money Game part 3. Here's my quick my breakdown including info I got from the BTS and interviews Ren and Samuel gave after it dropped. Part 3: Is Ren's magnum opus, once again returning to his one shot live performance format with Samuel Perry-Falvey behind the lens, but this time on a grander scale then anything they've attempted to date. Ren has even stated that this video in scale & technicality was his most ambitious project yet. Ren wraps up this trilogy telling us the life story of a single fictional character named "Jimmy" who was raised from birth in the money game mentality & therefore tightening the focus even more on the MG. Instead of just singing the hook "Point the mirror at ourselves, we're all part of this old money game" he chooses to bring the mirror to life & show us through the life of Jimmy's & everyone around him who have their own money bags tied around there heads, exactly where the pursuit of the MG leads. 🤯🤯 Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber shared Money Game 3 on his Instagram and said Ren is one of the best storytellers he has seen in a very long time. Film maker Jonathan Hiller was blown away by the story, as well as the cinematography & choreography Ren & Sam created. By the end of the video Jonathan say's "This is the genius of Ren, by the end of the video his art transcends into a spiritual realm. Ren's use of negative space is captivating making MG3 utterly transformative". Cheers boys. 🍻

As a father of 2 already grown ups I can confirm toddlers are into "mine, mine gimme" by nature, it´s on us parents to give them the social skills to overcome that natural demeaner. By the way Ren was playing the intro himself...which is by the way - an adapted variation - of the opening of a classical piano piece by the Norwegian classical composer Edvard Grieg "piano concerto in A minor"...beautifully adapted, performed and in his track integrated as a kick off by Ren. The video is a live performance in 2 "one takes" 1. one take = from start till he sits in the wheel chair and the camera is surrounding the wheel chair till the camera is behind the wheel chair" 2. one take = from behind the wheelchair till to the end. the "silver spoon" is a double for his up bringing and for = "chasing the dragon" = code phrase for "heroin consumption" since the 60ties = because as that analogy works = "heros(as code for hero -in addicts) are obsessively chasing dragons in the fairytales" and "heroin addicts obsessively chasing the next shot "...besides that "dragons" are also a very common omnipresent mythological theme in the far East of Asia where Heroin is produced and from where it is imported and from that perspective "the dragon" is the code for "heroin" )...so that code phrase "chasing the dragon" is actually a double as well for 2 analogies. The gun was a functioning replica and he had 2 magazines 1 with blanks in the gun and the other empty one which you then saw him loading with actual bullets. The exchange took place twice out of the picture frame 1. after he took the magazine with blanks out of the gun in exchange for the empty one while he was holding the gun up 2. exchange back to the blanks directly right before he put it into the gun again also while he was holding the gun up. A guy standing right beside the camera interacted with Ren there twice beneath the picture frame.

So Ren wears rings, and is iconic. That’s how you know he’s playing the intro.

Now I think you need a happy song next 😅 Power - will land on your playlist 🎉

The pivotal moment of this song is when Jimmy's dad dies, not because his dad was necessarily his confidante or whatever but because, up to that point, Jimmy has spent his whole life chasing his daddy's approval. Once the dad is dead, that approval is never coming. For the rest of his life, Jimmy only has the memory of his dad's disappointment in him, right up to the end. There's no hope of ever getting dad's approval now, no matter how much money or power Jimmy ever accumulates. If impressing dad and finally having him say he's proud of you is the main driver in your life, imagine how devastating it must be when the possibility of ever getting it goes away forever. From that point on in the story, Jimmy begins to unravel because his main motivation - the only thing he knows - is now rudderless.

It doesn’t only happen to rich people, this happens to ordinary folks as well. Money changes people, it changes relationships and in song, Ren says, “…it’s an exaggerated version of me, you, her, him…” This was Epic, not just “good” because Ren & his crew put everything into MG3. I enjoyed your reaction cuz it made you debate and elaborate your own views. Thanks.

you guys should watch the behind the scenes of how this was made, one cut, multiple microphones, recorded live. And I am pretty sure people have told you before, he plays a LOT of instruments very well. 'silver spoon' refers to being born into money in the first place. 'chasing the dragon' refers to getting high. It was a real gun but it was deactivated, they used a clever switch out for the bullets too. again, watch the behind the scenes video. But you guys need to learn! If it's possible he does it live, he does it one take, you need to get over those doubts. In interviews he even shows and talks about how he deals with the level issues.

Nope, that's Ren playing the piano, at the beginning, with a bag over his head, lol. Ren plays about a dozen instruments well. Half of them RIDICULOUSLY well! All self-taught! He also composed the music for piano and strings, co-directed the video, arranged the music for this live recording, wrote and performed, brilliantly, those incredible lyrics. They were going for a single take but had to make a single cut, as the 'rain machine' kept malfunctioning. So it's like 2 live one-takes put together, if that makes sense, lol. Of course, he also set up the audio and did all the production. ...and voila! Another Ren masterpiece! :)

I felt he didn't end his life, he ended the madness of chasing something that was detrimental to his life.

This IS one take apart from one break behind wheel chair. In order to move the Mike from lapel to tie and he could only shoot last part once due to wetting the only suit he had. ❤

Ren says that Jimmy was "heating up a silver spoon and then chasing the dragon." Obviously, the "silver spoon" is a reference to him being rich (as in "born with a silver spoon in your mouth") but it's also a double. "Chasing the dragon" is a slang term from the 1920s that originated with opium users heating up the opium on a spoon and then inhaling the vapor through a bamboo tube. Decades later, the method was adopted by heroin users who didn't want to use needles and the phrase referred to that way of doing heroin (sometimes using tinfoil instead of a spoon, but same idea). And, actually, it's kind of a triple in the song because, in modern times, "chasing the dragon" has come to mean chasing the euphoria of the first time you got high but never being able to reach it again. Heroin users will tell you that the first time feels better than anything you can imagine... but, after that, you can never reach that same level of euphoria again. You spend the rest of your life chasing after that first feeling - "chasing the dragon" - but you can never catch it. In the song, Jimmy turns to heroin (presumably), which he's heating up on his silver spoon (bc he's rich) and inhaling (chasing the dragon), and ends up addicted (chasing the dragon of his first high) in the same way he's become addicted to money and power, chasing his dad's approval, approval he can now never achieve because his dad is dead. It's a deceptively complex little lyric, written with Ren's usual puzzle-like approach to fitting words and ideas together into multi-layered bars.

It almost one take - one cut because of water. It is Ren on the start playing piano. He compose all of the music but he cant play it all because is too complicated. And yes it is spoon of heroin - "Heating up the silver spoon and then chasing the dragon"

He wanted to please his dad. His dad was the influence and it wasn’t just about money, it was about power, his dad was the driving force. He was always trying to please his dad and he always seemed to fall short of achieving his dad’s approval

LMAO. Jimmy's only 18 at this point, and the twins woke up (the morning of filming), and I see they chose violence. 😂❤ j/k guys, y'all are going in, but make a great example of the conversations Ren's music elicits. Both opinions are valid because you're both your own person. It's good to see people having a *healthy* discussion on differing viewpoints.

You can tell from the gnarly guitar fingers and spinner rings that's Ren playing. (It's an excerpt of a classical piece by Greig). There's one obvious cut but it's still an impressive one shot. It was recorded live, you can see the improved lapel mic, however no doubt patched and tweaked in post production. Very impressive performance, he reminds me of Pacino in Scarface imo.

To answer the question you 2 posed- I think Jimmy started out as just a kid, as all kids are selfish, but his father reinforced that inherent trait and pushed him to want more...and more...and more. So technically, it's mostly nurture as opposed to nature, but it did start out as human nature.

this video is physically acting out the money Game. From mg1: "turns a saint into a sinner; A child into a killer "(the story told in the video), "the whole world turns as the whole world burns"(the spinning globe), rain, rain rain rain rain actually falling. Etc... this is live with one hidden cut (going black behind the wheelchair) so the lapel mic can be moved to the tie and he can remove the jacket before soaking himself. The Wolf Johnson BTS is worth watching but not really suited to a reaction because of the length. it will give great insight into the process of Ren's process for doing a one take video. One of the BTS videos is around 40 minutes (shows a very stripped down version with not a lot of details) and a second BTS video that is 2+ hours (by popular demand of us Renegades❤) I recommend the longer video❤

You can always tell it's Ren by the rings on his fingers. He never takes them off.

Regarding the gun, they do an off camera clip swap. He loads a real clip, and then as the camera pans up he does a swap for the empty clip Theres a big behind the scenes film which goes into a lot of depth on the making of it (short version and a movie length extended version) 38 minute version kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ecp1ebyBysybgok.html 2h30 minute version kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fq-aeZiYmsuodIk.html Timestamp for the clip swap.. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ecp1ebyBysybgok.html

The gun was a replica 45. They had problems with one of the clips popping out. Ren actually takes the first clip, hands it to the support guy for the cameraman, puts bullets in the 2nd one, then hands that to the support guy to swap it out. All that while still performing and speaking to the camera. The clip he used was the one that would not accidentally pop out of the gun! Ren always leaves us with a controversy for discussion; in the end the gun clicks but does not shoot. Do you believe Jimmy killed himself?

All totally live, and done in two shots, one continuous shot up the wheelchair and then another shot from there to the end PS. Best bit is how the globe stops on south america when he spins it.. dem spiinnin' skillz :D

This video has one cut right before the rain starts. Lol I can't wait for you to watch Wolf Johnsons behind the scenes for Money Game 3( its on Rens channel). Wolf is a reactor/poet/videographer that Ren really liked so he flew him to England to do a behind the scenes video. Even if you don't react to it please watch it! Also all his Live takes are immaculately produced by Ren. He goes in and cleans background noise and adjusts vocal and music volume to make it sound amazing! He has talked about cleaning up the live busking videos. He said it's extremely time consuming but his adhd helps lol loved the reaction and much love from TX❤

Don't sell Ren short! This is live and it's almost a one take - one cut behind the wheelchair according to Ren in a twitch stream due to the water. They didn't have the time to redo it after he gets wet.

Watch it again boys .. you missed so much 😎😁💯💙

My take : Jimmy's life was really built around seeking his father's approval. No matter how much wealth Jimmy accumulated, it was never good enough for his dad. Notice how the globe, which was spiralling out of control ( just like Jimmy's life ) comes to a complete halt when he receives the news of his father's death ( Jimmy's life had, symbolically died at that precise moment ) .... ultimately, the corruption and immorality ( as well as his consequential life changing disablement ) became too big a weight and so Jimmy took his own life = highlighting the dangers of obsessive greed. This was a masterpiece from beginning to end. The planning and execution is incredible, when Ren falls into the wheelchair without flinching, knowing the " prop " will be in the precise place for him. The references ( well done for spotting the " mirror " reference ) to his previous songs are all there, including the blindness analogy of the money bag over the head - also the ending when Jimmy comes home out of the rain ( RAIN RAIN RAIN symbolising the negative impact of his selfish pursuit ) Coming home out of the rain meaning awakening to the realisation of a wasted life chasing money. Ren is, indeed, a totally unique creative force who's art almost always carries with it a HUGE life lesson. He is, in my opinion, doing God's work through music. Great stuff fella's 🙏

That Ren playing the piano!! ❤ He’s great with the piano

There is only one edit, when the camera goes round the back of Ren in the wheel chair. That was done mainly because of the water in the sceen, they had to reposition Ren's Mic and they only had one suit - so effectively they had one go to capture the final sequence. There is a bts video which shows how it was all done. It's by wolf johnson.

Live with one cut, when Ren is in the wheelchair and the camera goes behind his back. I think you guys should just assume that any video Ren does is live and one take. This cut had to be made bc of the rain; they had to move the mic, and Ren only had one suit, so they had to accommodate that too. (BTW.. most kids are ‘mine, mine, gimme’.. but in this case, it was strongly nurtured by the father.)! Good video.. fun to watch you two.

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE Ren he is playing the piano and it’s a live only1 cut behind wheelchair .

Not only is he playing the piano, but he wrote and composed the music for piano & strings. Great tit for tat between the twins.

This is a live audio, the studio version of this, on the Sick Boi album, is distinctly different. There is also a Behind the Scenes documentary by WolfJohnson's youtube channel following the creation this masterpiece.

Yup that’s our boy playing the piano (he wrote all the music parts even the strings) After the watching “the making of” I’d have to say that as usual we are LIVE. They only had one chance to get that “rain” scene because he only had the 1 suit so there’s only 1 cut place and that’s when he’s in the wheel chair and the screen goes black. The line was “Heating up a silver spoon and then chasing the dragon” and yes it’s a reference to doing heroin. You heat the silver spoon to melt the drug into the water that that’s what you inject and the high is the chasing the dragon which addicts will chase usually until they die because you can never find that first high feel. It’s what makes it so addictive. (Sorry bout the ramble I looked into it a long time ago because it took my dad when he was 35)

The rain at the end was a physical manifestation of the chorus in the previous money games.

The 'masks' are actually money bags. It symbolizes how we are all blind to the evils of money (whether we are or aren't is debatable) and it was Ren playing the piano in the beginning. As for the kid saying, 'Mine! Mine! gimme!' I believe that it was a thing that kids go through naturally and is up to the parents to correct which in Jimmy's case wasn't. His father definitely encouraged that natural instinct most kids develop at that age. Please keep going down the Ren rabbit hole. You have so much to discover still, including his stuff with his former (maybe getting back together) band called the Big Push. Peace.

8:00 I'll tell ya what I AM convinced of... is that you guys, as nice and sweet as you are, are squabbling or beefing over something in your day to day... may be something small, may be something big (or I could be completely wrong altogether lol... that is always entirely possible), but there's a different energy in you today.... IDK ... I'm only 8 minutes in... so maybe im just tripping

For what it’s worth my take is that his father was the constant toxic presence who, every time Jimmy might have achieved some measure of happiness or contentment, told him he was worthless unless he had ‘more’. Jimmy’s life was lived in a desperate search for his father’s approval and once he died, Jimmy had no reason to live anymore - the abstract notion of more not being enough. So his activities became ever more self-destructive until he went the distance completely a decade later.

Go to “For Joe” to see Ren playing the keyboard (again).

Once again Ren’s music and videos stir up your discussion……that’s what I love about his work….Ren’s work covers topics that are often overlooked or swept under the carpet…..but subjects we need to talk and think about. This music video is 🔥…..when the strings start to play…..goosebump’s every time. Thanks guys…

Fun fact, rens suit was custom made so if that rain shot didn't work or missed up that was it. Ruined... the one female playing the Violin got hit a little by the rain and kept her Composure!

It's breaking the fourth wall. When you see a room through a camera you only see three walls because the fourth is behind the camera. So breaking the fourth wall is acknowledging the existence of the camera.

There's some behind the scenes video that shows how they change the live ammo for a training gun within a second, which is mind blowing giving this was acoustic one take shot. However they found a second to hide this and made it quick. Also funny how mostly Americans react to the trigger discipline when it's supposed to look like live rounds till the end. Great reaction, thanks for the work guys!

Ren gets people thinking and asking questions! This is a movie in ten minutes. Just extraordinary. Great discussion guys!

Ren excels at creating deep discussions. 😊 The idea of nature vs. nurture is important because we all spend our lives trying to differentiate between wants and needs, and the appropriate ways of meeting them. On one hand, his father is constantly drilling Jimmy, but on the other, Jimmy chooses to chase the approval. When, and how, could Jimmy have made better choices? How much can he/should he be blamed for not making different choices? How are our opinions/answers based on our own individual life experiences? Are we willing to look into our own mirrors to find answers? Deep discussions to be had...

UGH!!!! I had a great comment going, and I don't remember it all, then our power went out. SO. Imma do my best... 🤣🤣🤣 Twin Sense is minimal in this one, and I'm so here for it! I believe you're both right, we are molded by our parents, often looking for their approval, but at some point we can choose to make ethical decisions for ourselves, even if our parents want more. I've seen lots of people mention BTS, it really is a great watch. The gun scene is MEANT to make you uncomfortable, though he went through great lengths to make sure everyone was safe.

Where are all these edits you're seeing? lol. There's only one in the entire piece! One long continuous shot up until the wheelchair and one long continuous shot from the wheelchair to the end. They were forced to make that edit because the 'rain machine' kept malfunctioning and it was the only realistic option. ...and yes it was recorded live and yes it's Ren playing piano at the beginning! A little less negativity guys, please. He also composed the music for piano and strings, arranged the music, instructed and rehearsed the other musicians, set up all the audio and produced everything, as usual. Oh, and he co-directed the video too. Not forgetting taht he wrote those incredible lyrics and gave an out-of-this-world performance! Face it! Ren's a musical genius! :)

Very good reaction, now you're ready for the talented fun that is 'Ren & Sam Tompkins- Blind Eyed Ft. Angry Car Park Attendant'

Guys! Guys! Simmer down, you're BOTH right! Jimmy's first words were MINE, MINE, GIMMIE! This is not normal for a child's first words. Most children's first words are mama or daddy, so Jimmy is definitely showing abnormal and selfish traits off the bat. That being said, his father is throwing fuel on the fire and pushing Jimmy to abandon his morals in favor of monetary gain. So again, you're BOTH right. Quit squabbling and save the debate for the end of the song when you can see the whole picture. We're only 3 minutes into the vid and I had to pause to write this comment. Play nice or I'll haveta separate you! 😆 🤣

Your question of nurture vs nature is interesting given his sale of software as a teenager. I haven't seen anyone mention it, but in order to have developed software that detects weaknesses in cybersecurity protocols, he had to have been a hacker first. Which basically means that he learned that you can earn big bank by breaking the law - which confirms what Jimmy's dad has been teaching him. Yes, that's Ren playing Grieg with the money bag tied by a noose over his head in the beginning. (There are BTS vids of him practicing). It's a live video with live audio. There's 1 cut, during the transition behind the wheelchair before the end. He only had one suit so they only had one chance for the rain sequence, and then matched that footage with the best continuous shot up to that point.

Great reaction, and suddenly I hear him say 'the voice that you hear when you loosen the nuce of the rope' (hi Ren).... always chills about his lyrics.... hug from a stranger from the Netherlands ❤

Live, almost one-take video. Only one cut, when they go behind the wheelchair to reveal the quartet. And that was really only because they needed to move and cover the microphone due to the water. Also, Ren only had one suit so they could only do the part with the water once. This is an epic video, probably the best I have ever seen 💜💜

I'm sure you all noticed the Sack Man toy on the table when Ren picks up the Rubik Cube @4:55. More Easter Eggs from Ren

Yes, it was Ren playing Piano. Yes it's live, and there is 1 cut (behind the wheelchair) the rest was creative angles and camerawork. As for the one line, it's "Heating up a silver spoon and then chasing the dragon" Yes, it was heroin. Also yes, it's a REAL gun. There's a hand off with the clip off camera, and the guns were decomissioned so they cannot be shot. Connor and the crew went through a lot to be able to get them to use them for the video because guns are highly regulated in the UK. There's a Behind The Scenes on YT for this video.

As a speech-language pathologist specializing in early intervention, I would say Jimmy’s story is a bit of nature and a lot of nurture (more like conditioning). It’s developmentally typical for toddlers to go through a phase where they say "mine" frequently. It's a common part of their language and social development as they learn to assert themselves and understand ownership (18 mos-3yrs). But, Jimmy’s dad tells him that money is the means to all end and continually makes him feel like he’s never enough.

Great chat boyz! I’m in the camp that Jimmy was particularly greed driven even as a baby and Ren seems to allude to this in his delivery of the “gimme” line which is emphasised very strongly. Imao, It’s true we all have neediness from birth but it’s also true that some are more needy than others even before there’s time for conditioning to take effect

You boys were funny on this one. Can you say "Sibling Rivalry"? 😂

Yes its LIVE and almost a 1 take. It has 1 cut behind the wheelchair because Ren wanted to do that crazy rain/water shot. Other than that it could had been a 1 complete take. That 45 cal at age 45 hits hard and a BAR!! Ren sang the chrous in the other songs the "Rain Rain rain" but he didn't have to sing it in this part because it's literally raining. See what he did there! Singing a chrous without singing it. Genius!! The 🐐!

Love that you have the sibling rivalry and and able to discuss this ..this is a major factor with Ren..he starts conversations.

You are the first to point out the relevance of the mirror, which I can remember anyhow 😊

I disagree with your comment about this reaction taking the cake. IMO, this reaction took the cake and all the cupcakes that were baked with the leftover batter. Nice one! There are so many things I want to comment on, I'm not sure I can remember them all. I think you were both right on multiple occasions. This was two takes; one edit. I think Jimmy's nature was nurtured. I can't pick one of the three Money Games as best; each one is superior in different aspects, but together.... wow! I think you should check out Ren & Chinchilla performing How To Be Me live, The Hunger and Seven Sins and for something more emotional (not to take away from the aforementioned), check out Freckled Angels, Suicide and For Joe. These three songs bleed into each other. Others have already more than answered your other questions. The highlight for me, aside from the banter, was the twin swaying. T started swaying and J jumped right in as if you were physically connected. Love it. Keep up the great work, I'm here for the ride. 🤘🤙✌️

He said heating up a silver spoon chasing the dragon. Chasing the dragon means getting high. Heating up the spoon is heroin

Masterpiece!! I Love all this part of money game but the part where it rains at the end is a fantastic visual representation of the chorus from 1 & 2 & as for the gun there was some camera tricky as the camera pans to the gun they swap clips, theres a full behind the scenes documentary by a youtuber call Wolfe thats worth a watch 👌👊

Ren is the Master of one takes

It would appear the Renegades have educated you both on this particular track...So all i will say is really enjoy your reactions.

LOL, you need to watch the BTS for this song...❤❤ and I'm with Julian on this one..❤❤

My favourite reaction you've done so far! If you are interested there is a making of video for money game part 3, really gives alot of insight. I believe it's a live one take still from what I remember. Loved the sibling vibe to this one 😂 reminded me of me and my siblings lol

Those strings get me every time ❤... and you two crack me up.

Money Game 2 is my favorite lyrically but 3 is akin to his "Tales" trilogy and it's on par, performance wise, with "Hi Ren". Ren wrote ALL of the music for 3, including the orchestral parts. He said he practiced quite a bit to get the piano intro right. He also said that this isn't precisely a one take, it has a single cut in it, but it had to do with some logistical and time constraints. He explained it all in his Twitch live stream after the video dropped. He's really proud of this one, and should be. It's another great example of Ren's pure musical ARTISTRY. The greatest sculptures in history were created slowly, persistently, over a long period of time, one small chip at a time. Chip, chip, chipping away. Ren's illness is the marble, his musical artistry is the chisel...and look at the masterpieces he's now created. A modern day musical Michaelangelo forged through fire....and the world is better for it. Had to say it.

Great reaction as always! I have twin daughters, twin sense!! Hahaha You guys gotta check out Masochist next and Down On The Beat.

hi handsomes! just started and im so excited for this reaction! your comparison to thomas shelby makes me giggle, cause i think he looks like thomas shelby with the hair and just how he looks overall. my own secret crush lol

The man is talented AF!!!.. love the reaction cheers boys!!

Excellent guys. Fantastic reaction again. The bigpush next!? 🤣🤞🙌

I’ve been WAITING for you guys to get to this point!! 🎉

Live and Ren playing the piano, obviously its Ren!!

Relax, never rush Ren.

Tommy Shelby looks like Ren

I was so impatient to see you react to this FINALLY ❤ really enjoyed your dive down the rabbit hole! You have grabbed my attention with your honesty and humour and glad I stumbled across your reaction to "Hi Ren" which just shows you how Ren brings ppl together with love and support ❤

Rens line here was ' chasing the dragon ' 'Chasing the dragon' was a later refinement of this form of heroin smoking, originating in or near Hong Kong in the 1950s, and refers to the ingestion of heroin by inhaling the vapours which result when the drug is heated-typically on tin-foil above a flame.

Ooooh yes. I was up early for this one! ❤️ I think you’re both right at the beginning that he was born like this but his father was the driver. Both Nature and Nurture. As people said it was live and there is a cut. One of the violin players ended up getting wet as well but she kept on playing to get the take. It’s the one they used in this video. Thank you for taking us through the Money Game trilogy. Ren might have got us to you but now we’re here for you guys and your reactions. Another brilliant upload, guys 🔥🔥 Much love ❤️ ❤️ PS You know you promised us a break dance video to Ren….. 😊 just saying.❤️

Bunch of comments guys ! Funny your explanation you guys stopped and analyze it. All I kept doing is saying KEEP WATCHING !! lol.. Pretty accurate You didn't point out what he said just before he stopped and gave his dialogue. How everything was exaggerated versions of him and her and you and me .. And it is true mold will grow until it exhaust all and then dies.. I know you guys would like this one !!

If you're not familiar with falling in reverse. I would like to recommend the following songs, last resort reimagened, voices in my head, popular monster, watch the world burn live version (popular monstour) and the drug in me reimagened.

Personally I believe that Great Art is open to interpretation and for me this is a great piece of Art so I appreciated that it opened thought and discussion from you both.

Great reaction!!! Is funny all the American reactors note the waving about of the gun...the BTS video shows how that worked, it was a replica gun (very hard to get a real gun in UK, not easy to get a replica but ren said it HAD to be a 45 calibre to fit with the lyrics or someone would have spotted it). 1 cut when camera went behind the wheelchair as ren only had 1 suit so it couldn't get wet twice, he also had to move his lapel mic before he took off the jacket, and they only had 1 day in the hangar so didn't have time to dry the rain (why the rain? Hook from first 2 parts....rain, rain, rain, rain...a storm it comes our way...) And yes it was ren who played the first bit of piano, up to when the other hooded guy took over,but ren composed it all including the strings. Ok so born with the money drive, or parents led him? Well my view is weren't all our parents partially responsible for guiding us....for me and all my child friends when our baby teeth fell out didn't we all put our tooth under the pillow for the tooth fairy to bring us a pound (or dollar in USA)....isn't that one small step that introduced us into the money game...I think so

It was all done in one take. Pretty much all of his videos are done in one take, like “Animal Flow and “Hi,Ren,” both were done in one take.

Your disagreements are hilarious 😂 I think it’s nature combined with nuture. Genetic predisposition that is nurtured by the parenting. I think you’re both right. As some people raised with the same values take the opposite path, so it can’t be all nurture. But I don’t think people are born to follow a path either, I think they have a predisposition to and it gets encouraged throughout life.

All Jimmy ever needed, was his father to say "I'm proud of you son" ... but the death of his father removed any chance of ever getting the approval he sought. Hence the slide. We need to be better role models for our kids, especially in a world that tries to sucker us on soul-less materialism and consumerism. We need to be guided towards finding value in ourselves and in those we love. This message hits me hard, like Rens "Dominoes" (another fricken' incredible track BTW) ... but, man, the Money Game series is sheer fricken' art. Just absolute genius!

As many have noted, Ren was playing the piano on the beginning and this was a one shot, i believe he called it because there was one tiny cut. He spoke about it on his twitch account.

You should join Ren's group Ren makes music. There you can see behind the scenes of his songs and music. Actually I saw a clip that he was sitting at a piano in the airport playing the piano and he played the same piece as in money game part 3.

Finally you got to this, it's insane =)

Nice reaction from you two!

I have been waiting for this reaction! And I love the banter between the two of you. Keep up the great work!

Great reaction guys. 👍

A baby will grab at things, a toddler will chase things, their first words *might* be "Mine" and "Gimme!" . I remember saying to my Daughter when she was young... "I want doesn't get!" . Jimmy was a child with natural instincts who was never told "No, you cant have that" . Then add the layer of "TAKE what you can!" (From a parent probably rased the same way?) . Add Genius level IQ and you have a dangerous cocktail.
