I love that song so much but I think it might not be his cup of tea. It might be too “depressing” for him and especially references to suicide in there which he hates every time Ren brings it up. He might like the switch up in styles though for sure! I can already tell when he’s gonna love or hate a track 🤣 Seven Sins is one of my absolute favourites at the moment.

The big appeal with this track is that it is simply for fun. Ren gets so heavy within his messaging at times, it's nice at times just to have fun and be nonsensical.

Yeah he is kind of hypocritical, he always complain that Ren just sing of sad things and don't make fun songs. The. When he listens to a fun song, he shits all over it and call it garbage. Nothing constructive I'm his opinions ever.

@@Steven90108Runs Exactly!!!! This guy takes music in general way too serious imho. He misses the point completely with stuff like this from ren. The fact that Ren can do stuff like this, shows how multifaceted he is as an artist. This compared to his heavier/deeper stuff is like the Ying to his Yang. Its just fun, its not meant to be taken too seriously. BUT... If anyone is like this guy and you just don't get it, he's/you are never going to get it. This guy is always going to be coming out with boring, overly critical "fun police" reactions like this with tracks like this from Ren.

An absolutely incredible song. Very fun. Sorry Ren can't always be sad. He gets to have fun too.

The original Fisher track is already legend. It doesn’t need approval. REN’s remake is wicked!

Bongo Bong line is a reference to Manu Chao track Bongo Bong, Ren covered it with his band The Big Push.

We must balance the scorn we pick up by being a part of this world with some CORN(iness)

And blending rap and "euro-dance" was done already during the -90, in Europe. So this fits like a glove for most outside the US!

First, I have not seen a reaction where anyone realizes the music was originally created by Fisher. Ren did what no one (I believe) has done or would do - rap to an EDM song. The flows, the bars, the lyrics was basically a well deserved brag & showcased his ability, creativity & honesty how easy it was to flex his talent in this arena. Well, except for the King Dotta takedown- that was awesome. Almost every line has a meaning, but when I heard the bongo bong lines I immediately thought of when matthew mcconaughey was living in Austin, Tx. The police were called to his house for a noise disturbance and he was high & was playing the bongos in the nude. But that’s a pretty obscure reference so maybe not. His lyrics are like a cross between a scavenger hunt, Trivial Pursuit, & you have to have knowledge of literary devices. He’s obviously very well read & intelligent - you can tell by his lyrics alone.

EDM started in the late 80s (88) and went through the roof in the early 90s once the Techno, Trance and Jungle scenes had fully established themselves. Been going strong ever since.

I like you specifically picking the year '88. I get it, but I was there and that vibe you may be alluding to was more like the back end of '87. Kinda like how Covid was 2019 back end, but the catchup was the following year. EDM is a modern, catchall term that is basically broad spectrum finger painting meaningless. It has nothing to do with anything other than pseudo musical "journalists" tripping over themselves in a attempt to coin a new term for whatever underground creativity is afoot. Look how ill received IDM was. Pretentious labeling idiocy that flies in the face of the actual music at hand. No ill to you on my part, mate. I'm just trying to say "EDM" is class A generic fluff. Even if the term had any real depth of meaning, it would certainly be a few decades before the 80's if it came down to electronic music I could dance to. Again, no hate. Hope you have time to play and enjoy some great tunes during the rest of this weekend. 👍

@@Hoop_23 I feel you. The whole Happy Hardcore and Gabba thing ran away from me. Far too silly and bereft . I have a soft spot for about 6-8 months when Jungle was called Jungle Techno. Haha... I grew up on early US electro that morphed into the beginnings of Hip-Hop. I also latched onto the initial Chicago and Detroit House scenes, not so much the brief Hip-House diversion, but I have a few fond memories of the initial Garage movement. UK to the US and vice versa: It seems we both grew up during a very interesting and broiling, melting pot of musical discovery. 👍

Hiya Kso, the lyric you had trouble with is "I'm an agent undercover"✌🐦.

Ren fan here , this is one of my fave tracks by Ren , im an EDM lover tho , my second fave is HUMBLE , dunno if you,ve reacted to that one .

Ren does a cover of the song Bongo Bong with his band. The cover is pretty good you might want to give it a listen. That's where that bar came from. I cringed when I saw you were doing this song because I knew it wasn't the type of song you like. This song is kind of like his other one Down with the Beat and when I saw how much you didn't care for it I knew you wouldn't enjoy this one.

Thank you so much for your reaction. I always love hearing your perspective on what you are watching. I appreciate your candor and your honesty.

Some answers to some of your questions... People say he looks like Cillian Murphy from Peaky Blinders. I don't know of any reactor who looks like Ren. I think the bongo reference is about the Bongo Bong Manu Chao cover he did with the Big Push. Ren is 6'1".

This is a banger, diverse and crossing barriers, just enjoy it for the freestyle mix. Nothing sinister just enjoying himself. He's just having a laugh.

Nice to hear an honest reaction rather than a sycophantic one. Personally I love this fun workout over a classic EDM track, but that's just me. Rap & Hip-hop were just not a part of my listening before Ren but since December 2022 I've enjoyed learning about it and seeing the subtleties within it that I'd previously missed. I'm an old dog but I DO like to learn new tricks. It was Ren's talent as a communicator that got me hooked and yes, this track isn't that sort of thing but just fun for the sake of it. I can't say that even with my favourite artists I like everything 100%. That's all part of the fun in a way. You can still appreciate something even if it's not your usual cup of tea. I just let it all hit that bit between the ears and see what it leaves me with when it stops. This one just made me smile. Other Ren songs just leave me with the 'Ren silence' afterwards. That feeling when there are no words but it hits you like a sledgehammer and you realise you've just listened to something very special indeed. Of all the music I listen to [and that's a lot] there are less than a dozen artists who can penetrate that deeply with what they do. Ren is one of those special artists but there's no law to say you have to like everything he does. Nice reaction sir.

This is one of my favorite ren songs.

I like rap. And I like house , EDM, electronic music. So this was a win for me. This is totally the song I would queue up to listen to working out, cleaning the house, drinking with friends… and to watch reactors like you give your unique takes ☺️.

"Undercover. Mr Lover Lover" to me, sounds like a Shaggy reference. Ren has referenced Shaggy in one of the Love Music songs. As for this beat, it's actually a house beat that Ren liked. The beat is totally the song but the original has very few words. Ren just took it and rapped a bunch of bars over it.

Ren and is 6’1”. Please check out “Bongo Bong” by Ren’s band, The Big Push.

Mr lover lover is a shout out to Shaggy i believe. And when he is in the car with his homies he is making the reference to O.J. in a ford bronco. Got to really pay attention to Rens lines. He throws me off sometimes

I stopped liking rap when hip hop died. I'm 57 and I love Ren because he's bringing hip hop back. I've never liked any solo rappers with the exception of Missy Elliot and Queen Latifah. I've always gone for the groups such as De La Soul, Beastie Boys, Tribe Called Quest, etc. Like him or not, I thiink Ren will breathe some life into the genre.

SICK BOII PT2 PLSSS that's your cup of tea

He famously covers the song Bongo bong

Bongo Bong is a cover he did with the big push 🙏🦉❤️🐊👍

Enjoyed the backstory man. Great reaction 👍

He's 6'1"

I'm not a rap person, although I like the sort of rap that goes deep and has a lot of meaning. But the reason I like this one is all the references. They're endless. Nostalgic.

Nah, this is straight fire. I grew up around rap. My brother in law opened for Common a few times in Chicago lol this is just fun light, takes you out of a down day and picks you up. I love his topical ones, too. But he's a man of variety. I love it all.

Love that sick boi! Also just for mentioning Jeff Hardy....New subscriber ❤

Ren basketball skills seem comparable to his boxing skills...lol. He's probably more of an indoor cat. I think Ren does songs and videos like this because even he gets tired of the really deep / dark / depressing stuff all the time. I find your reactions interesting because even after how many Ren video's you seem determined to make him follow the rules of the rap genre. Ren's next album could end up being all metal music. It's part of the fun, you have no idea what he's going to do next.

Been waiting for this 🔥

I like you honest reviews...THX

"The Bongo Bong" isn't a reach, he reference the awesome cover of the song with the same name, that Ren and "The Big Push" did!

EDM/House/Rave is huge in the uk. The rave scene started around 1988 and is still a big thing in the clubs

After loving the heavy Ren songs this is just a laugh, no major analysis needed. You cracking up reading the first comment was all I needed today. Thanks Kso

And he took a very well known EDM song from DJ Fisher and raps over it…

I love this!

Love the face without the shades. This is his flex. And if you listen to the original - he took it twisted it love it.

Its a shout out to pop culture

When Ren does a (Retake) he is just having fun flexing his skill and giving respect to artists that he grew up listening to. He doesn't monetize them because there him having a good time.

7 Sins is EPIC❤

House, 90s. Rave, 90s. Most happened for me at least, in the 90s. In the UK, for me. I'm an 80s child, but the 90s were shining.

Around 88- 89 the house/acid house scene started Farley "funkmaster flex" love can't turn me round made huge waves on British shores🙌

Losing it, is a popular EDM song by Fischer. REN stamped it with his genius.

House music was massive in the UK between probably 1989 to maybe 1993 just after the birth of the Chicago sound..a lot of American DJs like Louie Vega, Roger Sanchez, Dave Morales and Todd Terry played here regularly alongside UK DJs such as Sasha, Graeme Park, Alastair Whitehead etc. After those years it fell off..but seems to be making a revival

There's nothin random in all those bars. Its all references to music or cultural shit from 80s/90s/2000s this is a retake over a EDM song. The bongo bong is a Manu chao reference for the song "king of the bongo". There's tons of movie and music references you are just not well versed in those i guess. There's even Drake references about his album, most people don't even catch that one.

"I'm an agent undercover"

House music took off in the North of England in the UK in the mid to late 80's with the popularity of tracks coming out of Chicago, like Steve 'silk' Hurley's 'Jack Your Body' and Jack 'Master' Funk and Darryl Pandy with 'Love can't turn around' . Clubs opened too and were very popular. Clubs like Cream in Liverpool (early 90's) and The Hacienda in Manchester (Early 80's but became a big acid house venue in the late 80's).

I think the UK scene is much more mixed in influences. In the US it seems to be you have to stick to a certain genre or nothing. As for the mix between rap and dance music that came from dancehall/jungle/drum & bass/garage then into grime (140 bpm). The UK music scene evolved completely differently to the US. My introduction to rapping was MC's on mixtapes flowing over jungle and drum and bass. I only got into 'real' rap afterwards. Jamaican influence is everywhere, and you take everything far too seriously humour is also a huge part of music culture. Lighten up 😂

Ren has something for every mood. This is fun as! 🥰❤️‍🔥

Answers, 87 was the first warehouse party I went to and discovered the new vibes. Ren is 6;2 I believe. I enjoy your skeptical reactions, people do get carried away, like some kind of cult at this point.

just some context for the bongo bar. hes got a cover of a song called bongo bong. one of the lyrics in bongo bong is " im the king of the bongos , king of the bongo bong"

Where did edm sound come from in uk...have you got three weeks for me to explain? Acid house scene arose in late 80 founded on detroit and chicago house beat (detroit more vocally led, chicago more techno, roland 303 sound) Guys from new order were over in the ststes, getting into afrika bambata and aforementioned house beats and brought back to uk, set up a legonary club, the hacienda. Now, New order were not the pioneers but took it slightly overground, DJs in uk had been importing stuff from US for years and were influenced by kraftwerk etc A kind of evolution from nothern soul and disco

UK started mixing House and Hop-Hop back in the 80's, with producers such as Beatmasters, D Mob, Double Trouble and DJ Fast Eddie and have been doing it ever since. Although House started in the Warehouse club ( hence the name) , Chicago in the mid 80's it exported to Uk/ Europe and exploded.

House music is credited as beginning in Chicago in the 80's and it spread through the big cities off the states, Europe and London.

Love it. Still got Fisher CDs in the drawer. Sadly it isn’t on Spotify or it would be on my pump mix.

This is Rens take on the song "Losing It" by the EDM DJ artist Fisher. The original came out 5 or 6 years ago.

90's jungle brother!

Love this song.

its definitely an outlier, but dude likes to have fun. I take it as just a fun exercise in videography, actually. The way its shot is my favorite part.

Edm and rave and acid hit uk early 80,s and influenced all our genres. Try the prodigy or maybe 808 state.

The UK as been rapping over Dance Music since the late 80's The US also spawned the Hip House era in the late 80's the 2 go together perfectly. I have listened to Hip Hop from when it was getting its first plays in the uk in the early 80s, and house music since hearing love cant turn around in 86, The Jungle Brothers are a good example of hip hop turning to house music with i'll house you in 1989.

Electronic Dance Music (EDM), got its start, and popularity, in the UK. They are the OG's!!

House was big in the 90's also.

'I'm' the king of the Bongo Bong' is a reference to his (and The Big Push's) cover of Manu Chau's 'Bongo Bong' which is one of my favourite Big Push's songs. Definitely check it out.

Early to Mid 90's is when dance music got big in Europe. It was a wild time.

"I'm an agent undercover" (not major or nature) Ren plays like 12 instruments, but mostly guitar, piano, bass, and drums. (He also composes and creates beats.) Ren's "retakes" are songs he slaps all new lyrics to an existing track as a fun challenge. ©️ = no $ wo/permission, etc. So Ren took Fisher's 90s EDM classic "Losing It" and wrote a rap about 'beings' who lose it - mostly monsters, killers, etc., but also himself as a musician - "chopping" it up like he made it (a double I think to old hip-hop lingo), also "I chop the fuck up like a cosmetician." My favorite reference though is how uses "Macbeth" as a verb: as in he's about to kill it, the way Shakespeare's titular character did in the play. I enjoy the song for meaningless fun while exercising or commuting, but I was a fan of house/garage/EDM/(occasional) techno in the early 90s rave scene. Hearing Fisher's song have a new life is great. I felt similarly when Ren inserted a bit of Dead Prez's Hip Hop into the Big Push's medley "I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop." It’s nice when an old song revives. Always enjoy your perspective, even if it's not your preference! Have a good one!

house music is a 90s thing . And it flooded Europe and England by storm . While metal went back underground and R&B came more in the fore front . Thats why England got into this .

I love.... Losing It!!!

Rap with “edm” started with uk garage and drum and bass mcs rapping over for the beat samples.

It was a reference to Bongo Bong, the cover he did with The Big Push

I don't know that I especially LIKE this track, but it's the versatility of flows he showed here that impresses me. It's like he's showing he can take any type of beat and flow.

when you said club, you had hella spit come out your mouth xD seriously though thanks for the reactions ✌

In the UK, house music became mainstream late 80s/early 90s. Mid 90s for the hybrid of rap/house/EDM.

House music has been popular in the UK and most of Europe since the early 90s. In the UK it grew up alongside the rave scene and later the jungle/drum n bass scenes. And since the early 90s the rave scene and Jungle/drum n bass scene both have had MCs who would back then sort of rap over the track then later in the 90s this carried over to the garage scene then the grime scene with the rappers definitely becoming more rappers than MCs. So the UK has a long history of rhythmic and percussive rhymes over higher tempo tracks than more traditionally lower tempo American hip hop tracks.

Love this Ren son - my favourite ❤

The electrical scene started in europe so britain''s def been a part of that scene. Fun fact: Oldheads remember when Afrika Bambaataa described how groups from 1970's germany like Kraftwerk had a huge influence on DJ's around Bronx late 70's to early 80's. Dr. Dre mentions same thing (in that 1h special he made when he reached 1 billion $) while he was a member of the World Class Wreckin' Cru! I guess mysterious ironworks works in mysterius ways?

I like that bar whilst Ren is lifting a literal bar 😂

I love this song but I'm a 52 year old mum of 2 that went clubbing during the UK house and techno scene...

Think he said bongo bong which is a song he covered with the big push which is amazing

Hey yo, I got to the part where you asking about house music in UK. Lemme drop some history on ya. I used to DJ back in the 90's and 2000's. When I started I lived in a city in Canada near a joint Canadian and UK military training base. The Brits would take leave in our city and there was this one nightclub that catered to them. They loved house and techno. It is where I got into it. I remember that me and my DJ boss went to Montana to train some club DJ's there in 1996 and I brought my techno CD's. Them folks never heard anything like it, they were all about rap. It was a weird cultural exchange, and to be honest, I don't think you Americans liked the faster beats for whatever reason. BTW, partying with the Brits was off the charts fun times. Americans missed out!
