This was Chinchilla's first ever experience of busking. They have an incredible chemistry - Ren describes her as his "sister from another mister". Chinchilla says that their musical chemistry is like meeting a stranger who has an identical sense of humour, it is rare and special. (I was never into rap/hip hop before hearing Ren)

Ren calls Chninchilla his musical sibling. They have an incredible connection when they perform together. They used to be on the same management company before Ren went completely independent. Ren said he would love to record an EP with her. I agree - I was always surprised how low Chinchilla’s subscriber count was, especially before she started blowing up on her own with Little Girl Gone. She’s got so much soul in her voice and a truly unique style

I am a rock fan and Ren made me appreciate his hip hop music. His word play, lyrics and style. I am so ready for his Sick Boi album!!! RENegade!!

I think her lack of subscribers might reflect where she spends a lot of time. I don’t have tik tok but I bet she’s got a large following there because I think she posts there a lot. All the stuff with Ren (except for their busking cover of sexual healing) is on Ren’s page, I think. That’s why a lot of us love when reactors do Chinchillas solo stuff so it drives people to her page too :)

Phil's wife Susan here. Ren's music introduced me to Hip Hop and Rap.

Grew up through bone thugs, Eminem and eventually was on Tech N9ne and all of strange music for about 20 years. Rens the first artist in a long time I've connected with the same way Tech got me. Real talk, bangers, genre bending and wearing their heart on their sleeve and doing it independently and killing it for live performances

For real. This shit next level and yeah I been around rap my whole life early 90s-on. I’m still writing too for fun,but Ren is crème de la crème of this era imo. “SQUEEKING” and squawking included. If u don’t vibe w that it’s on u lol 😂

"Creative liberties" I think one of his greatest examples of this is one I don't think you've done yet. Ren's remake of Fisher's Losing It. tbh- I don't like edm either, but my god- what he does with it- the video- the switch ups- it's creative liberties at it's peak form. Supposedly not your thing or mine, but... one of his absolute bests.

You still gotta check out Chinchilla's 'Elements' you're missing out on a whole other side of who she is as an artist

I'm 54 and hadn't really gotten into rap or hip hop other than casually. Ren's opened things up for me but what's really opened things up is because I'm getting into reactors and folks like you are helping me to really learn. So, yep... I'm new and learning but I appreciate getting to learn from people who know more and can help me find more.

Rock/Metalhead - 53 yr old grandma of 7...hardly EVER listened to RAP or HIP HOP until REN. But Ren is so much more than rap and hip hop...so much more!! But I do have to say he has opened my eyes to a whole new world with Hip-hop that I am really beginning to enjoy a lot!

Love this collaboration by Ren and Chinchilla and you can see the mutual love and respect between them! They do Sexual Healing and its also a good vibe! As i listen to more of your Ren reactions i think you are starting to appreciate his talent as all Ren fans do😊

Rap enjoyer since the late 80s, Ren gives me 80s-90s vibes, which I appreciate. Also a rock fan since 90s. I like everything but formulaic pop anything.

I was rocking to Oasis and Blur in the 90s Eminem, tu pac in the naughties And recently getting down with stormzy and Ren all great artists and it's eclectic. A lot of British people love various genres from dance to hip hop to rock Come to England and try see a festival 🤘 I remember when J z played wonder wall because one of the Gallagher brothers said hip hop shouldn't be the headline act

I grew up on classic rock, almost exclusively (in my 50s now). Hip hop is new to me, and I've really appreciated the unbiased view you give to his music. I've actually gotten pretty good at guessing what you'll like or not. If you still want to learn guitar, I'm in West Texas (not sure where you are). All the free lessons you want!

Oh hell yeah, love this one! Chinchillas first and only time busking, according to her interview with Chris Liepe. I wonder if it was a spontaneous thing, notice the lack of nails on chinchilla 😊

I was only a hip hop fan via Beastie Boys, Diggable Planets, Tribe Called Quest. THEN I saw Harry Mack. He was really the transition for me where I started to get interested in older school stuff like MF Doom and just exploring more hip hop in general. I was then primed for Ren and dove in deep.

My favourite track from the Brighton sessions, just brilliant, Ren is a given but Chinchilla is a real force to be reckoned with over 400k subs on TikTok! I love R&B but I LOVE everything Ren does and I mean everything!

My favourite of Rens busking is Wade in the Water...

I'm a 70 year old Scotsman and was brought up listening to the Beatles, Rolling Stones and of course Motown was huge when I was in my late teens. I love Ren just as much for his personality/life story as I do for his vast catalogue of different genres. I can't say I like all the graphic sexual lyrics or sexual innuendo, but I can see past that because of his amazing talent and his ability to make almost any song sound like he poured all of his heart into it. Btw, I started off not liking your style of reaction, but being an extremely patient person I persevered and am now enjoying your videos so, keep up the great work my friend. I just decided to sub to the channel so don't go letting me down, OK!!😉😉😉

I'm in my 40s now and growing up loved hip hop. 2 PAC, Biggie , dre,snoop, big pun, Eminem etc. Went off listening to hip hop in the mid 2000s. Thought most in this era till now was rubbish (although I like Kendrick). Since getting into ren I'm listening to all the old tunes again. It's been great. Rens rapping is different but most of his songs I love.

ive always been into hip hop, and discovered ren last year. Some of his songs are poetic masterpieces, and respect his Musical talent. I'd HIGHLY reccomend you react to 'i shot the sheriff' covered by ren and the band he used to busk with called 'The Big Push'. You'll find it fire

I was growing up in the 80s with run DMC and fat boyz so yeah I liked rap before I discovered ren❤😊

“We all just three year olds dressing ourselves” 😂 heard. Always been a fan of rap and hip hop, didn’t find Ren through that though. Hi Ren punched me in the gut in December and started watching his stuff with The Big Push after that before following his hip hop releases this year for the Sick Boi album. So I don’t necessarily think of him as a rapper so much as I see him as a musician/singer/songwriter/storyteller that can absolutely rap and do so in unusual and unexpected ways.

I'm in my mid 40's and loved Dre and Snoop growing up. I lost touch with rap since then though. Ren brought me back into it.

Ren turned me on to hiphop. I'm an old man, so not sure what just happened, but glad it did.😊❤

Hey, I'm a new subscriber because I love your Ren reactions. I am a 64 white woman who has never been a rap fan but I am having so much fun following Ren's unique journey and your entertaining commentary. Love the dogs.

I just turned 50 (😭) so I’ve been a fan of hip hop for way too many decades. It’s a crime that Chin doesn’t have more followers and appreciation. Too many people still sleeping on her. And your babies are adorable 🫶🏻

kso bro! you went to a very happy place when she said: "I get filthy..."

Man, that happened to me. I thought I subscribed to her and then I went back and realized I was not. I felt so bad! I'm subscribed now. She deserves so much more, but she's growing slowly. She is going to be huge soon, though. I can feel it! 💜

I was a hip hop fan before Ren mainly old school stuff as I was brought in after seeing Jurassic 5 live. Found a lot of the more modern stuff a little souless but Ren caught my attention because 1/ He's really talented and 2/ His lyrics resonate with me whether it be because we're both British or a similar age range.

Been into Rap for years but like all music - Wu tang clan, NWA, Eminem, Kendrick and UK rappers such as Ghetts, Fredo, Wretch 32. I listen to music at least 8hr per day and kinda got passive. Only 2 artists have piqued my interest in the last few years - Harry Mack and Ren.

In this context it's piqued

More chinchilla please!

Sometimes I like hip hop but it really depends on the subject matter and my current mood.

I’ve always been a hip hop fan, but I fell for REN when he played with the big push

I was already a hip hop fan. REN is such a perfect combination of all my favorite genres. Reggae, 90s Rap, Punk, Ska, Blues, Classical guitar, even R&B. It’s just crazy. My new favorite artist for sure and so refreshing.

Yes, hip hop fan before. From about 1992. Disposable Heroes of HipHoprisy's "Hypocrisy is the Greatest Luxury" was the first album that got me. That led to Public Enemy, Arrested Development, A Tribe Called Quest, Pharcide. I'm a white guy from Australia, so obviously Beastie Boys. After that things like Raury, Black Thought, Talib Kweli, Childish Gambino, and a bunch of Australian hip hop artists.

Never really listened to HipHop at all ever I guess I am learning Rens style of HipHop. Loving the fact that you give your view and what flys with you and what doesnt. There are Ren peices I love and others I like less. Most reactors seem to not want to criticise. I am enjoying learning from you from someone who has a HipHop background

Ive never listened to hip hop before I found Ren.

I'm a fan of GOOD hiphop so not really in the last 20 years but old eminem dre biggie 2pac big L. Ren Is the first rapper i really appreciate since the early 2000s

I’m 57, never ever listened to hiphop. I don’t give a shit about what style the songs are and I can’t stand Beyoncé 😆. I just live their freaking talent and passion. This is art. Dud you already cover ‘War pigs’ live from Ren’s group ‘The Big Push’?

They are amazing...wow....great reaction funny as hell as usual...thanks appreciate you

I think ren once referred to chinchilla as his musical sister. Or words to those effects

I want more

I was a hip-hop fan before Ren. I think the UK experience is a bit different from the US. There is a huge Jamaican influence here and while I did listen to US hip-hop... There is a huge influence from Jamaica in my experience with the entire dancehall/reggae/soundsystem culture. I started out DJ'ing in the 90's with Jungle/Drum & Bass, then House music, then Garage, then Grime, then what you would call more 'UK hip-hop'. But there has always been a background of the US legends. But I think the lived experience of most people in the UK is a bit more eclectic (at least with people into music) I can remember rocking Barrington Levey when I was about 8 lol and was a white boy in a small town. I think Ren attracts fans of music because he is insanely talented in so many ways and is relatable in so many ways, and also helps others.

I have been waiting for this one! Thanks

Lol how you talked about them dressing lol I'm a big Prof fan too and he also dresses different lol

Metal fan here, never been a rap or hip hop fan really.

Love your energy!

I always said I loved rap, as long as I didn't have to listen to it. A link on Twitter to TBP doing Wade in the Water hooked me. I'm 62 and stayed stuck in classic rock forever. At first I wasn't big on Ren's rapping, it slowly grew on me and I feel like I should check out other hip hop now, but so far the little bits I've heard bore me after Ren.

I'm bdp Nas tribe fugees (in front of 200). But left it go. They brought me back. She they need to do more together. Johnny and June carter

I've been a Hip Hop fan since the 90s and seen the birth of UK Grime, I've also been a fan of a lot of other music since the 80s. I don't watch you for education, I don't need you for that, most of us don't, I watch for your opinion and pov, good and bad.

Such a good boi😍🐶

I'm was a hip-hop fan before Ren, I was a competitive BBoy. I than married had children and fell off. Ren reinvigorated my love of music.

I strongly suggest their cover of Sexual Healing.

I was a hip-hop fan before I heard of Ren. Born in '85. I guess Eminem was maybe my introduction to rap? From there listened to Tupac, NWA, Wu-Tang, DMX among others from the classic hip hop scene. I think have a diverse musical taste, ranging from heavy rock/metal to cheesy pop to opera etc. I'm from the UK though so grime, jungle and drum n bass were massively in there as well. I get why there are certain songs that you don't like or can't get down with. I think it's possibly a culture thing. I remember you didn't really like classic grime when you started listening to UK music. And I think aside from $ui€ide most of the Ren joints you've disliked have had more of an EDM beat. I may be wrong but I love your reactions anyways Kso. Big love

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

He is a good boy.

I've been listening to rap since Grandmaster Flash/Melle Mel.

Go through phases hard with music, just get really into a genre for a couple years til I wear it out Had a hip hop phase a long time ago, back for round two mostly because of Harry Mack and Ren. And let’s be honest, it’s mostly H Mack, Ren I just appreciate as an all around artist. Might be a short lived phase though, cuz I don’t have the depth of knowledge to know where to go to next when there’s so much hip hop I can’t connect with

H town in the house what up fam

4 dogs on screen. ❤

I grew up with Wyclef, Tupac, Missy Elliot, Eminem etc. I switched off from most rap and hip hop in the early 2000's, it just stopped grabbing my attention, felt stale. Ren has definitely brought me back to it and hopefully I'll find some stuff from other artists that I'd missed. Obviously it's all personal preferences and opinions at the end of the day, but I feel that hip hop needs people like Ren to give it a shock to the system every now and then.

Have you done nova Rockafeller song problem ?? The studio version with the white flops in thumbnail? I have hear your opinion on that rap.

good question i like music im not rock or hip hop Rage was one of the fav bands growing up

Ren hip hop is different to everyone else that why he so interesting we all sick of hearing about guns drugs bitches drinking in the club it was good when NwA did it ground breaking but boaring 25 years later

King of backhanded compliments..I give a click to watch a train wreck 😅

Hip hop and rap before Ren? I'm from Manchester...

Life long hip hop fan from Ireland. Fan of ren since blind eyed with Sam went viral. I don't consider ren hip hop tho

Oh, we know suge

Please react on Numerkari song by mc stan (rapper)

Bro react on sidhu moosewala

I did not like hip hop before Ren and I still don't. I would not call Ren's music hip hop, but what do I know? I don't listen to hip hop. 😆

I got turned out when Sugar Hill Gang put out Rapper's Delight........bought the VINYL at the record store and played on our STEREO CONSOLE I doubt you know much about that. I understand not vibing a whole lot with style changes in a genre, OK?? QUIT BEING A FKN SNOB DUDE. Seriously. (edit: why do you ALWAYS have to give some negative spin or some cut-down on Ren's Style choices?)

I grew up on hip hop, Ren is an incredible musician, but his rap songs are hit and miss for me. He gets extra points from me for being able to do so many different genres.

You say the N word a lot.
