He is paying tribute to cult film classics I think ..George Orwells Animal Farm being the main theme based with scenes from these classics like The Shining (girl on bike in hallway) Witches of Eastwick ( 3 girls round Rens feet ) A clockwork orange ( dressed in white with a cane ) Silence of the Lambs ( cannibal stair scene with lamb ) the chocolate factory (the beat ) Wind in the willows and creature from the black lagoon ( bathroom scene toad and creature in bath ) All cult classical movies.. Im sure there are more .. this is a piece of art ..nice reaction

Same with Ocean. He changes his voice so much you can’t tell it’s him. Sounds like a bunch of different voices.

"he's doing something different, as usual" is a great way to describe Ren haha

You're right about having to re-watch the video in order to pick up on what may have been missed the first time. There seems to be a LOT of symbolism in this set; for what purpose, I am not sure yet. Ren's mind is at levels that many folks won't be able to comprehend, but he can package the experience in a way that keeps them intrigued. I've said it before, and I'll likely say it many more times, I love this rabbit-hole we call "Ren"! 💯🔥

This is such an intricate production (production, lyrics, visuals) all the way to the simplest snare hit and bass drop exactly 1 second apart referencing the tick tock of a clock "A Clockwork Orange" and his inspiration for the character in the video, Alex DeLarge and it all ties in to Animal Farm and Alex DeLarge's treatment while under state rehabilitation. This is just unreal how detailed it gets.

And now this week, Ren released acoustic version of Animal Flow. Please check it out. Amazing & such a surprise. I couldn't figure out how he could do this acoustically but it is incredibly great too.

That dogs scene IS inspired by the painting! Great reaction again!

2 nights before coronation, Ren points at animal and says your the legitimate king of the crown

I thought you might enjoy this. From Ren’s own words on making this video: “Filming Animal Flow. Let me set the scene. It’s a cold gloomy British February. A great start to any tale. I’d been sitting on this track Animal Flow for about a month, it has this tribal rolling drum sound, reminiscent of early Kanye production (you’re allowed to say his name again now he said sorry after watching 21 Jump Street) I’ve got this annoying problem where if I’ve created something challenging to create the next thing has to be even more challenging to pull off. We’d just finished filming a series of one take videos for the Sick Boi album, they were a bitch to film, because if anything goes wrong in a shot with only one continuous take all the way through, you have to start again. I love that challenge. It forces me into the moment, you have to be engaging for the entire piece. If a tiny thing goes wrong you have to start again. I sadistically really enjoy the frustration of the entire crew when we shout CUT and have to start the whole bloody thing again. Their little faces sinking into despair fills me with a little warm fuzzy feeling inside every time. “FROM THE TOP! ACTION!” I decided I wanted to make the most ambitious one take video yet. Throw in as many moving parts and as many people into the mix as I could, and even add a little dance choreography. This was before my music had ‘taken off’ and I’d just left my current management, I was pretty broke, so I also had to pull this off with no money. That made it even more exciting. My friend Benny had this apartment that he bought off my Spanish friend Raffa. The parties in this flat were pretty legendary and appropriately full of debauchery. The hallway to the apartment looked like something out of a Kubrick film, and I instantly knew I had to film there. I kept thinking of the movie Eyes Wide Shut. I turned to Benny one afternoon and asked what he thought about me turning his apartment into a jungle. He smiled, he agreed. Me, Benny and a few friends headed out into a cold February night in the early hours of the morning dressed in black, with some gardening shears, a hatchet, and some bin bags. We spent hours hacking at overhanging weeds, ivy, whatever we could find, filling up bin bags. What I didn’t know, but found out during the Texas plant-saw massacre is that Benny used to be a botanist. He told me the Latin names for each of the plants we mercilessly shoved inside the bin bags. What we definitely didn’t do for legal reasons was borrow some unusual looking exotic plants from a botanical garden at 1am. We returned to the apartment and spent the remainder of the night Covering the walls in plants. Ivy - or to use its Latin name - Hedera Hibernica - looks great parcel taped to a white wall. We then created a makeshift torture rack out of a clothes rail, painted the bathroom in faux blood, and filled the bathtub with red jelly, naturally. The whole apartment took a few days to totally transform into a magic mushroom Orwellian fever dream, it was perfect. I had acquired about 80 latex animal masks and a gorilla suit from amazon, and acquired about 80 friends and friends of friends insane enough to agree to take part in the shoot. What ensued was hours of pure chaos, an apartment hall littered in people in latex animal masks while horrified looking neighbours walked nervously passed. You’d walk out into the hallway and see a man in a wedding dress with an ostrich mask riding a lowrider BMX over the carpet. Walk into another room and people in Dog masks playing poker were doing shots of tequila and smoking menthol cigarettes. Everything was going exactly as I intended Somehow, during the chaos, we managed to film a music video. Sure it was about 4am when we got the final take, and we’d started filming at about 7pm, but that’s not the point, we got the shot. My friends left, scarred and broken shells of who they used to be, and I left with one hell of a music video.”

Clockwork Orange !

On the back wall towards the beginning there's a whole manifesto - I think it's from the book, Animal Farm. The first lines, "2 Legs Bad, 4 Legs Good" definitely are: it's a repeated slogan throughout the book. (Animal Farm is a thinly disguised - and funny - political diatribe against capitalism: the animals rebel against humans: their ideal is peace, equality and no war.)

yum yum yum yum yum

Absolute genius..... Ren sees where things are going. Not long kiddies. Animal Farm is a beast fable, in the form of a satirical allegorical novella, by George Orwell, first published in England on 17 August 1945.

Another banger guys! Love vibing with yall and getting ur insights!

Welcome to the mind of the King 👑🤯😂 He definitely is one of a kind

Keep chillin' gentlemen...love your reactions!

Yall are just great. Got to pack a bowl and hit it with yall

Thank you for these. I've become a huge Ren fan since I discovered Hi Ren in January this year. I have been able to be a bit kinder to myself after understanding that I'm always going to have good days and bad and have stopped stressing so much when life throws me lemons. The conversations he's started have made me feel like I'm not the only one struggling and I'm learning to accept that life is like a pendulum and the more you fight the symptoms and get upset about not feeling well the worse things get. My ADHD got really bad a few years ago and I'm not exactly sure why and I'm often frustrated that my brain wont play ball and allow me to create and plan. I'm still trying to work things out much like Ren so it's interesting to see his journey.

This video is crazy with all the different characters and movement from room to room. ITS a FREAKING ONE TAKE!!!!! So many things had to go perfectly to get the final shot. Amazing!

You should check out his tunes with Eden Nash (Ocean and Humble), they're yet another completely different version of Ren, more of a chilled / reggae vibe, and personally my favourite.

Hey, Love seeing other peoples reactions to the same videos I react to as well! great video! ♥

Thx for your reaction in support of our guy Ren. Love to see your reaction to ‘Losing it’ Ren. You wanna see flows this is the one. ❤️

Single camera shot again. Unreal. Lots of vibes, Clockwork Orange, Animal Farm, ...

In the novel animal farm by George Orwell , The animals rise up And take over. Four legs good, two legs bad. A classical must read. Orwell criticizes communism as well as the Turn to Stalinism. The pigs being the smartest of the 4 legged creatures We're in charge. I believe the clockwork orange reference, Needs to be researched further Before commenting on that connect. Lots Happening in a Too small 3 minute Experience.

Ren is a BEAST -SICK- the flow, the lyrics the video...so fing insane !

Making some good reaction vids guys.. Instant follow.. Keep it up

Ren videos are not as set in stone as many may believe. He seems to adore when reasons and items are given different meanings then he had in his own head. Same as when a person hits the nail on the head for an item or concept. He tucks little "easter eggs" in many videos. This one he said, when they went to film it the setup set his imagination into a high gear and many "easter eggs" were last minute excitement inspirations. All that I can honestly be sure of is: Its a 1-take start to finish video in a buddy's apartment, using plants gathered from the streets, and that all in the video were friends and friends of friends, who agreed to help out. He does reference many movies and books in his songs. But so far never answers why the reoccuring pig, is in some of them.

My favorite part was "Mary had a little lamb, whose flece was white as snow. It made the blood look so much redder, when i slit it's throat. Watch it drip drop drip drop, till the ground was soaked. Oh Mary Mary quite contrary, how the blood it flows" 😎ANIMAL FLOW

Cant wait for you all to do Ren - Losing it... and Genesis .. Both those got some sick lyrics in it.. and the beat in both those .. just like any other video he does.. beyond amazing.

This is based on quite a few different influences...the animals and the 7 lines of text at the start of the video are from animal farm (George Orwell) as are the dogs playing poker...tl;dr animals in the book unite because they are better than the 2 legs (humans) but by the end of the book they have become what they despised...and nothing separates them.

I was just waiting for him to break out in dance too! ❤

Ren and Sam Tompkins - blind eyed (live) New sub, dig your vibes

Love music 1 2 3 4 rapppppin. Stay safe

Loving the Animal Farm take, only a question of time till clockwork orange and 1984 pay a visit.

Loving the reaction. Dogs playing poker is a great thought. It's in the video. It's animal farm George Orwell

You guys caught the dogs playing poker! ❤

The beat is from Black Skinhead, the theme is primarily George Orwell's Animal Farm.

Enjoy watching your reactions to all ‘Rens pockets’, as there are many! By now you surely know this piece wrapped it’s head around Animal Farm. It’s simply Brilliant,…as Ren is

Just subscribe to your channel. It's a cool take you guys did on the song. I'm a Jets fan, so it was an easy subscribe😆🗽

i like how baked they are

That dance (very Michael Jackson Thriller or Lady Gaga had version too) is going to be hot! I can see stadiums of people doing this in unison during this song.

You want to hear his skills. The Hunger. Or His Losing it Fisher remix. He'll blow your minds.

Ya wants Bars... Hunger, Losing it, Genesis, Crucify your Culture, etc...

Illest of our time, Losing It, and Money Game 1 & 2 for the bars

This entire video is a combo of Stanley Kubrick flim style in Clockwork Orange, fused with George Orwell's book Animal Farm where the animals revolt against the humans. it's F'n crrazy good!🐷🦁🐯🐷🤣

Definitely based on Animal Farm, where the farm animals revolt.

You like guitar Ren... he did an acoustic to this y'all gotta do!!!

Great reaction guys. You would like Ren and Chinchilla singing "How to be me" Live. Beautiful song.

Love your Ren reactions! Check out Ren and chinchilla one dance/ drunk in love that good too

You should really react to Blind Eyed, in my opinion the song where Ren displays all his potential

I love when I set a notification that I get 4 day's later? Weird. Also noticed that video's that I've watched have a 👎 on them? I've noticed it two different channels and I would NEVER I'd leave it blank before negative. Sorry mini rant about weirdness LOL 👍👍❤️👍👍

Ren's got bars for days. Check out his wildfire video.

I think you guys should also do Money Game Pt1 and Pt2 by Ren. That would tie in nicely with the videos you have watched thus far. I would also say that Sick Boi is a type of prequel to Hi Ren; but that's just my opinion though. Love the reaction guys; keep em coming.

This video is also low budget, he ordered the masks from Amazon, cut the plants from street, shot it in one of his friends apartment, one take only if you noticed. He is genius If u want more of rapper Ren see hunger, sick boy, genesis, bittersweet symphony, life is funny, love music 1,2 and 3 Cheers ✌️

Im sure there are more .. this is a piece of art ..nice reaction

Bro I deff wanna see you two react to adam Calhoun, upchurch and jellyroll. Adam Calhoun- racism, cannon, starter cap, hooligan, Upchurch and jellyrolll any songs you want

The song is based on George Orwell's Animal Farm.

As a linguistic and ontological student, interpreting the aphorism "embrace a little madness, because the sane die young" requires considering both its semantic content and the deeper existential implications it carries. At face value, this phrase appears to advocate for an unconventional approach to life, suggesting that strictly adhering to societal norms of 'sanity' can limit one's life experiences and, metaphorically, cause an early 'death' of the spirit. It champions the idea that a degree of 'madness,' or deviation from societal expectations, can lead to a richer, longer, and more fulfilling life. The phrase carries intriguing existential and ontological implications. 'Madness' here could represent the individual's authenticity, a notion central to existentialist philosophy, particularly in the works of Jean-Paul Sartre and Martin Heidegger. Authenticity, in this context, refers to living in accordance with one's true self, regardless of societal norms or expectations. In this light, 'madness' can be seen as an embrace of one's authentic self, which may not align with societal norms of sanity. 'Sanity' could be interpreted as conformity or living inauthentically, which existentialists argue can lead to a form of spiritual or existential 'death' - a disconnection from one's own being and a life unfulfilled. The aphorism also resonates with Friedrich Nietzsche's idea of the 'Dionysian' spirit, a form of madness that he viewed as a necessary counterpoint to the 'Apollonian' order and reason. Nietzsche believed that embracing this 'Dionysian' madness could lead to profound creativity and vitality. Therefore, as an ontological philosopher, I would interpret "embrace a little madness, as the sane die young" as a call to live authentically and celebrate the parts of ourselves that do not fit neatly into societal norms. It is a reminder that the 'sanity' of conformity can lead to a form of existential death, while 'madness' - understood as authenticity, creativity, and non-conformity - can enrich and extend our life experiences.

I feel like I’m always surprised at the direction he ends up going with his music. None of them are really the same or he just brings a whole different energy to each experience. It took me a couple times of listening to this one to get a handle on it and decide I liked it. I think watching reactors like yourselves helps me to see things I don’t think I would catch on my own.

I also like the different sounds he makes that you’re not expecting at all. It catches some part of brain like a thread I need to pull.

This is inspired by Orwell’s “Animal Farm” where the animals uprise against the humans. You can see the 7 commandments from the book written on the wall at the first of the video. I also believe he’s also relating it to how the government treats us like animals, hence the bit about burning parliament down. The “Mary Had a little lamb” part could be a metaphor for most of us being “sheep”, being led blindly.

This would be sick with a j Cole colab

For a combination of great songwriting, singing, guitar playing, bars and collaboration, I suggest "Humble," with Eden Nash. It's at the top of my very long Ren list of favorites.
