Every single person he mentions in this had to overcome some mental or physical struggle to become the legends they became. Jesse owens was a sickly child, grew up in poverty, and his mum performed surgery on him as they couldn't affird medical care. Hallelujah took 10 years to write and overcame many rejections. Sinatra had severe mental health issues. And Django Reinheadt was seriously burned and was told he'd never play the guitar again. And obviously Van Gogh! The message is powerful. ❤

Ren's fan base is very loyal! We love reactors who enjoy the journey like we do and have excitement for his craft. ❤❤❤

It was with Elizabeth of The Charismatic Voice. She asked him if he considered rap to be singing. He said that singing is an instrument and rap is like a drum kit. You should check out their interview.

This legend ❤️ Love that little info nugget, thank you bro 😁

As a musician for 20 years, Ren's sense of rhythm is shockingly insane. He just plays around beats like no one else. It's like prog/math rock and he uses his voice as an instrument. Check out some of his live versions particularly Animal Flow if you haven't already. Ren + guitar on a bus just doing what he does best.

I think my favorite is the "Malignant/mutated" bar in Genesis -- he just slip-slides around the beat like a boss. :)

"fkr sandwich" 😂😂😂😂😂 omg, I laughed so hard I choked! 😅😅 Also...you take that self doubt and eatbit down with that fkr sandwich because if anyone has dry eyes after watching/listening to For Joe, then they have hearts of stone!

in his nas halftime retake he gives thanks to reacters by saying 'reactions supersized me' which I think really shows how humble of a person he is which is nice. I do watch all of your ren reactions but I am sorry that I had to give for Joe a miss, I recently lost a very very close friend of mine and that song is one song I cant listen to of rens so again, I am sorry I cant give you anything on that reaction but I do really enjoy watching all of your other ones. much love ♡

For Joe is such a brutally raw song, i cant listen to it beyond the first time either. Ren has also said he will never copyright strike a reactor, theres no such thing as too many people spreading your music

You sir are an empath and I worry for you at times. Guard your heart, you are a treasure.

Every connection brother, Old dude here, and it is kind of a UNITY and in this connection it happens to be REN that is doing it !! And I am very happy being a part of it ..

You said "fuck a sandwich"!!!😂😂😂 I'm sitting here by myself and horse laughed...thank you!

It's this amazing feedback loop of love, humanity and all around positivity that Ren created and you as reactors amplify! Thanks for being a part of this!

"Of course he does" sums Ren up well lol.

We feel your hugs, Chief. They are reciprocated.

Hello Chief, RENegade here -another superb reaction. I think you would really appreciate Ren and his 1 million subscribers thank you message where Ren shares something he wrote. It is inspiring.

Ren has said that he thinks of rapping as a drum kit, and that beat boxing made him a better rapper. I love these little pockets of positivity on KZread. ❤

You really need to do the Nas Retake Halftime. It’s going to blow your mind.

It's so good to see your face again and do a fun song. Ren released 3 new tracks. The 2nd one Back on 74 /Message in a Bottle Retake is so good. It's such a vibe. It's a Ren you haven't seen yet. I would love to see you react to this soulful live performance. Ren started out at 13 producing Drum and Bass. The only reason he started rapping is because he couldn't find anyone else in hiss village in Wales.

"But fuck a sandwich" Jeez I just adore you and your Ren reactions. Both of you make me so happy!

When you said "our energy" I understood RENergy and I think it's the perfect description for what you were saying!

If you loved this, give "Loco" a try... It Ren rapping over an acapella track made by Ren. Hella fun! Anyways, great reaction, keep on keeping on :) Highly enjoy your reactions!

"Fuck a sandwich"! 😂😂😂 OMG, That is my new favorite phrase!!! Glad the music got that reaction from you! It's one of my favorites, and I have an EXTREME dislike of hip hop and rap! But Ren is phenomenal! The thing I love most was his ability to create a community. As a 51 year old Gen Xer, we/I never felt understood. Then along comes this "kid" (to me) that not only "understands" but has also drawn a true fan base of people who "get it". I feel less alone, and less misunderstood, when I see younger generations, that "understand", because I've never felt like much of the "older generations" did. There are a few of them out there, I've seen their comments about his videos. And members of this "Ren(eration?) may never meet, but it fills me with hope (kind of a rare thing for a lot of Gen X 😉) to see the community of like minded individuals, and the empathy, that have come together because of Ren.

Thanks for the love!! You're a lovely bloke. I bloody love Ren. I'm not a Rap fan but I love it when Ren does it. I have been learning loads and that's cos of Ren and all you Reactors. Go write that message to Ren. He's a good bloke. "...believe that as you give to the world (and you do! Loads!), so the world will give to you." from Londinium.

Me sitting on my settee on a rainy afternoon feeling a bit 'meh' and there's shitloads I could be doing but I'm nearly going to start reading a book but I'm not sure if I can be bothered so I'm just looking at this and that on youtube and going mmm and eugh and whatever then... "CHIIIEEEEFFFFF!!!" My day just improved immensely. Ren AND my favourite reactor. Thank you xxx ❤

Started watching and my first thought was; “huh, maybe we don’t have to cry this time around”😂 but then you start talking about how lovely we all are and I go shiiiii…

You're definitely one of my favorite reactors. You're vulnerable, empathetic, honest, and always a delight to spend time with 🖤 I've been here since your first Ren reaction and I'm happy whenever you drop a video. Big hug back, Chief 🫂

Ren is like Transcendent. You're like in my top 2 "reactionaries", Chief. You are much appreciated.

Who are you? I'll tell you who you are...one of the most genuine people. Whether Ren ends up sitting down and having a chat with you or not, it definitely won't have anything to do with you not being worthy of his time.

I've seen his entire library in the year since Hi Ren and this is one of my favorites.

Thanks for this reaction! I really enjoy watching your channel! And, yah, Ren is so amazingly talented and such a good human!!! ❤

This is my fave Ren track. He does over a dozen flows in less than 3 minutes! I totally counted. 😸 He actually started off creating beats and selling CDs of them. He got into singing because he couldn't find someone to front for him in the small town he grew up in. If you want to hear more on his based anti-capitalistic sentiments, then check out Crucify Your Culture, Money Game, Money Game pt 2, Money Game pt 3 (an absolutely brilliant piece of cinema), and Sick Boi. The last 2 are really the hi-lights. We can never hear these songs, watch these videos for the first time ever again. But we can experience that same thrill vicariously through the reactions of wonderful channels such as yours. ❤

it's because youre a genuine bloke! and your reactions are genuine. Out of most reactors on KZread you are by far my top reactor. I come here to cry with ya my bro. Keep doing what youre doing and cant wait to see your channel Grow!!!!! Love from Melbourne Australia 🤘🤘

Aww, you're definitely one of my favourite reactors. Just putting it out there mate - you're so authentic and we love you too. 😁

Awe Chief, thanks for the love. Right back at ya, mate! You were one of the first reactors I ever watched. You’re a really awesome human being! Thanks😘❤️✌️

Great Choice, Ren fans are truly a different league and always acknowledge the love genuine reactors give him. Keep them coming!

Thank you so much for your reaction-this one and the many others I’ve watched. I so dig your vibe! Upbeat, fun, genuine. Ren is my first exposure as a 48 year old woman to the KZread reaction community. It’s a great reminder how much good there is in the world. As far as Ren using his voice (and sometimes his guitar) as a drum, I think you’re spot on. If he’s anything like other artists I know who made their start either through busking or playing busy bars (Ani DiFranco comes to mind), it’s a great way to get people’s attention who might otherwise just walk by or keep carrying on a conversation. It’s a way to say, “Listen to me!” Makes you feel the music right in your core where you can’t ignore it. Hugs right back at you from Chicagoland, my friend! Keep up the great work!

This isn't just lip service, I love it when I see a new reaction from you. You are one of my favorite reactors. You are so authentic, no acts just you being who you are. Nothing but love bro. Thanks for your time and emotion.

You’re cool, feel the fear and do it anyway! I have had to live on the edge with that mindset for too long Chief. You’re not alone remember. You haven’t been popping up on my algorithm but have been back with Ren so that why I’m here for it…

CHIEF!!!! Dude, love ya right back brother! (Quite literally)Chilling here in the Pacific Northwest, vibing out to another one of your awesome reactions. You are so emotionally connected to the songs you react to, that I can’t help but say/feel: “Same, brother… same” It’s cool that no matter anyone’s physical location, we can all come together to share collectively in the experience. Keep up the awesome work man!

It's me thanking You fucking so much🍀💚🥹 that you share your true self, real emotions, curiosity, smiles and tears. Your reactions are so natural and unforced. I am touched by how you appreciate your viewers. I re-watched all the episodes with Ren yesterday. I cried like a beaver together with you.✨🍀💚

Great reaction! Also, we love you too, Chief! Renegades unite! You are one of us, ya know! Sending love from Canada

Just me sitting here trying to figure out how to incorporate “fuck a sandwich” into my daily vernacular. Love your reactions. You’re a beautiful human. 💜

❤❤❤ Love you too Cheif!! ❤❤❤ You're so real and it's much appreciated😊

Colorado here! I simply adore you.. just stumbled upon your reactions because of Ren.. but now I'm gonna watch some of your others. Thank you for... you.

I love the effect that your fans have on you. I heard someone say that when she wants to make a serious point on the internet, she puts an obvious mistake in there on purpose & it gets far more comments about the mistake, but that spreads the message further. It would be so much better if all the comments were supportive but people can't help but pick up on others' mistakes.

Ren's latest track, a retake of Nas's "Halftime" with new lyrics, and it's a masterclass in penmanship and lyricism. You've got to check it out.

Love hearing your perspective! ❤ It’s like Ren puts his whole body, mind, & soul into his beat ………like he is the music.

I think this was the 3rd song from Ren I heard - and I loved it from the first time. I had to listen to it a few times before I caught everything. it was a challenge. I'm not into rap - but Ren spice it up with something that speaks to me. And you Chief; I saw your reaction to For Joe - I'm often logged into your channel. Love you. You have such nice reflections. for the music, and also for being human ❤

Enjoying the Ren rabbit hole with you Chief! Much love to you as well! ❤😊

Spending time with a lovely man like you is always a treat, my guy! The love and care is well deserved!

Thank you for another great reaction. Great to see you smiling, your face lights up when you do. Big hugs.

Your authenticity is so refreshing! Your delight & joy are infectious and so needed in this world: so too your empathy. What a blessing you are.

Came for your first Ren reaction, subbed for more. I really have enjoyed your take on Ren's work and how open and real you. Keep it up it is appreciated.

Great reaction! Keep doing them. I’m here for your Ren journey!!!! 😉😉😉😉 Ren is a real person you should see his interview’s!!! Love you back in a straight way. Huggs Back!!! I’m an older man 63, and I am obsessed with Ren. I have been around music my whole life! My Big brother had a band that set up and played in our basement. It was like having my own personal consent just for me and whoever!

Always great to see you react to Ren! Hope you are doing well!

That beat boxing in the end is so satisfying to listen to. It gets my "dopamine a flowin'"... As does the love you pour out to everyone Chief. Thank you ❤❤❤

Love you Chief. One of my favorite reactors. Ever!!!🩵🩵🩵

I’ve always loved your reactions. We appreciate your honesty and even vulnerability. Keep on brother.

These reactions always light up my day. Thank you for making them.

We love you right back! ❤❤❤❤ I love your sincerity, and you’re right the energy of a person comes thru, even in video, and you my friend are a light

Your joy with this song my me smile alot, wich was needed today as the pain is high. Thank you very much.😊

We care and appreciate you. 🖤 This song is a marvellous 2:30 minute onslaught on the brain. You can’t think it just kind of flows in.

He's a Modern day lyrical Shakespeare absolutely brilliant you drown in his story telling. His screech was like a Modern day ultra violent Romeo and Juliet.

Being a little late to the party but we got you. You are a beautiful person. Love seeing your reactions to Ren and i cry and laugh with you...keep doing what your doing. We're all here for you... 🥰

I have lyme disease and autoimmunity like Ren but we each have our own health journey but Thank you for doing these bc not only is Ren a brilliant artist I know how hard it is for him to have the energy to do this - Thank you 🙏 Love from Lisa a fellow Lyme and autoimmune warrior ( and other stuff ) 🦠💚🦠💚

You are one incredibly special human being ❤ your authenticity and love just oozes out of you! You've made my day 😊 sending you lots of love back ❤

What a gentle soul you are. ❤ Thank you for sharing your reaction.

I see ren in a interview say his beat boxing helps him with his flows. Great reactions by the way loving the energy.

The rhythm to his rhymes comes from his beat boxing.....his words

so glad you decided to film today. i know sometimes it feels pointless but we grow through what we go through and people need to see you doing that. it bring hope to others that they can move forward too. motivation doesn't usually come without action. if yu don't want to do it (whatever that it may be for you) start anyway with the promise to yourself that you can stop whenever you want. most the time you will get into ot and forget that you didn't want to start in the first place.

Thank you for being who you are, Chief! We're connected now :-)

Please Chief, take us hostage and just torture us with your kind heart! Ren has said he equates rapping with drumming. He's already released 3 retakes since last month, with another on the way, and he has a catalog you haven't listened to. His album Sick Boi is 5 months old already! You really should cover his Seven Sins (lyric video). And The Big Push, his band, has a Black Sabbath/Ozzy/RATM mash-up - you'd love it and it wouldn't make you cry!
