Yep! I studied mechanical engineering instead of psychology because of my father but even on his deathbed, due to colon cancer, he refused to say he was proud of me and kept making me feel like an absolute shit. Ended up burning out trying to do a full-time career and finish my degree... now I'm 44 and I'm finally going to get a chance to study psychology like I wanted all those years ago. I might never get the privilege of being a dad but I'll tell my kids I'm proud of them every day... even if they screw up... as long as they own it. :)

Ren said he wanted to make this version. On his thought on what the bad side/ extreme bad sad of the American 🇺🇸 Dream. Who thinks about writing a song about that ?? Lol.

Something is happening, Slashley, quickly enough that I can see it. As you, as other reactors, as I myself are watching Ren's progression, WE are actually changing. Ren is our heroic media knight in tarnished armour, showing us lyrically the way to fight the battles we must win.

my take of this example of brilliance is money game 1 a history lesson, money game 2, an economic lesson, and 3 is a life lesson, where free will is the pendulum eternally swaying from the light and dark. where we land is dependent on the side we choose to feed✌❤ thank you for your fabulous reaction!!

Yep

Ren has held a big mirror at everyone , who has the guts to look in to see there true self , to many people focus on what they want and lose sight on what they just need

At 71 years old, I'm probably your oldest follower, and I really like the way you speak what you feel, and it's been a journey watching you grow. I agree Ren is an amazing story teller but he wants more. He wants to be a teacher, and he'd be so good at it. That he can get people like you to help spread his story tells me the world may have a lot wrong with it, but it has hope too.

​@@SlashleyReactsain't a bad track in his catalog! No one else in my 55 years fits that fact! Well... IMHO!!!

This song left me speechless and full body chills. The end with the rain, rain, rain, rain is physical rain instead of him singing. The man his brilliant. So glad to see your heartfelt reaction girl!💜

A lifetime spent on the wrong side of the tracks, and battling addiction, the silver spoon/chasing the dragon line is incredible.

Ash you beautiful soul! Glad to see this! You gotta dig into the insane "Money Game" that Ren and his team had us running around for the entire week before this came out - and especially, watch (and react? that would be suuuuper dope!) the livestreamed conclusion to the game where a player dug up a briefcase full of money somewhere on Earth... I won't say any more but yeah, it is monumental

I woke up yesterday morning to find that Sick Boi was #1 on Itunes UK chart. If that wasn't enough of a blast, this video blew me way when it droppped on Thursday. In my mind this is every bit as involved - and important - as Hi Ren. btw, the album is packed with awesome track after awesome track. Nice reaction Ash.

Wow. Didn’t know that

Ren has no age, no genre, no hurry. Near the heart is timeless and universal, no worry.

I remember hearing people say that HI Ren wasn't a song but a performance piece, I believe this is song is very much in the same vein, absolutely a masterpiece

How many chills did I get? All of them! For me the hardest hitting line was "his example is just exaggerated versions of me, and versions of him, and versions of she, and versions of YOU" Another great reaction Ash, thank you! ❤

Ren today said in his talk with Knox, that, what he wants to achieve, it is exactly, what you said: communicate, development by collective cooperation, talking about issues, unite instead of divide. He will be happy, to see, that it works out. Therefore he made this project with all these riddles over last week, were people needed to work together, to solve them... He is able, to possibly pull out the best of us. Brighton kids and their "Sick Boi". (Samuel is also Brighton kid,) Great reaction, Slashley! ☀🌧🌈

Ashley I love your reactions! I’m a 50 year old who has listened to just about every genre of music. Ren is different consistently throwing the hard questions in our face. Love your insight.

a masterpiece of a trilogy but those strings get me so hard in the feel every time ive seen it. True art from a true artist.

Amazing reaction! This is exactly the reaction I was waiting for! Ren is an amazing artist. This video just needs to win an award. Visuals are from out of this world. Little easter egg when the boy is on the computer you see behind the rubik's cube a little Moneygame boll from Money game part 1. He just released his new album and the very first song "Seven sins" blew me away.

yea, i've been told i have really expressive eyebrows, and never really paid attention until people pointed it out in reactions 😆

Your heart and compassion absolutely show in your face. For you to care about a character who is experiencing well-earned consequences of his actions and, in all likelihood, we would absolutely detest IRL, is a testament to your character and humanity. ❤ It's part of the reason I follow you, when I am old enough to be your mother. Good people recognize good people, regardless of generational gaps. Great reaction and commentary, you wise young lady. (And if you need parental pride, I'll be the representative for your parents' generation and say how proud I am of you!)

Great reaction again! You are correct, how your parents raise you sticks with you forever but it doesn't have to define you. My so called father physically abused my mum for years, it affected us all and has given me PTSD, depression and anxiety. I have flashbacks every day, nightmares every night and I am in a lifelong fight to not become him but with a amazing amount of help from my partner, son, family and professionals I am winning. So for all the people who think it's hopeless, can't fight anymore and are having suicidal thoughts please please please talk to someone, see a doctor and keep fighting for the help you need, Ren is changing the world and so can you. Sorry message so long couldn't stop typing 😂😂.

Such a beautiful, heartfelt reaction 🖤 This is a stroke of genius Hi Ren, Money Game, Tales eyeopening mashup masterpiece. This will change the game for a lot of people 🤯 Open your eyes world, or we are most certainly screwed 🥺

I have watched a bunch of reactions to this video, and most men don’t feel the menace in his father’s words. Every time he says something dudes are like “facts”. Women generally seem to comprehend the menace right away. Who talks to a 5 year old like that? I don’t know if Ren means it this way, but zoomed out, I feel like this is a commentary on how western patriarchy harms everyone, but especially men. Patriarchy harms men? Yes. 70% of suicides in the US are white men…most are middle aged, and most by gun. Our society is toxic, and it’s killing us.

GREAT REACTION ASH!!! This shit this dude can do in one take!

We are the smartest creatures on the planet and the only ones that pay to live here,to the end of even paying to die... It's absurd.

If you didn't watch the treasure hunt, I think it's available. Watch the last 15-20 minutes. OMG. It was right before this premiere. SHAKEN.

As far as parental approval goes, it's not something that I've seeked out. But, that's because of the loss of one and the distain for the other. But I've noticed that approval seeking has transferred to strangers. Unfortunately as much as I say it doesn't matter, it really does matter. We all want to be praised or validated

@SlashleyReacts, As Ive mentioned before, your reaction to "Hi Ren" brought me here to your channel and Ive been here ever since. I could listen to your soothing tones for eternity. You have become my utopian escape from all of the crap going on in this world. Keep on being you, Ash. Another great reaction 🤗

Ren just made it to number one on the charts today. Well deserved. He definitely talks about things that need to be said and think about. He wants people to think and not always gnaw on each other.

Great reaction. Ren’s genius and brilliance never ceases to amaze. I like and enjoy a vast array of music from all genres and there isn’t a single person that continually amazes me with his brilliance. Each and every time. Dude makes art.

This track reminds of the Philip Larkin poem 'This Be he Verse'. It starts 'They f**k you up, your mum and dad, they may not mean to but they do, they fill you with the faults they had, and add some extra just for you. Great reaction, another Ren track that sets you thinking.

Fantastic reaction ❤️ Ren is stating what many of us are thinking. This world as become a cesspit due to the greed of certain individuals who are hellbent on ruining it for the rest of us.

I'm a die hard metal head but Ren gets me on different level

Great message from Ren, and those strings and piano just sent shivers through my entire body... fabulous!! Top reaction again Slashley, and yes... think for yourself everyone. ✊👌

This is why I love ya Ash! Great reaction and always str8 up! Im so glad you feel this way it shows that many of us are realizing it is only up to us. We have no "Savior" coming to fix our lives, our government treats us like human "capital" and if we want our children future to be good we are to understand that we are the final guides to show them which paths are harmful and which are not. Ultimately it comes up to them and hopefully we show the right path. I do want to add that not all people are good and want to show a good pathway, there are legit evil people who specifically want the future to be evil for whatever reason (revenge \ spite, ect) so being an individual with self respect and integrity (do good without expectations of anything) is the path I have chosen to raise my son on. Hopefully I get it right! So far so good though! (I know he's my own kid , but im surely impressed with the way he is growing up)... Sincerely Suntzu69!

So much truth in under 10 minutes! Great reaction Ash x

Ash, fantastic reaction as always. You always get Ren and what he’s trying to say. As I know you love what he stands for please please please do his live stream money game sin of Greed. Background he set up a game in the lead up to release where people could solve riddles about the seven sins and win money. The whole thing was amazing but the end of the final stream Ren taught us all so much on how we can be better as a collective. Honestly you won’t be disappointed. It’s long so you skip some of the journey across the fields. You’ll get it when you watch.

I was waiting for this reaction!

Your reactions are always great and close to our hearts 💕

Loved your reaction so much. You seem like such a nice person.

Great reaction and good talk after!

Thank you Ash... heartfelt and true...i was waiting for you to react not disappointed.

Love reactions, always very interesting. ( love your glasses as well )

Loved your reaction to this.

Video and song of the year!!!, plus you always make my days a little brighter...so thank you 🤍

I love your Ren reactions!!!

this is art at its finest masterpiece thank you for reacting to this sending big love from the UK ❤❤

Love the reaction and i want your t shirt!

I caught your live music reactions on twitch yesterday, it was such a chill cosy vibe🧡🐾🖤🐾🧡

I'm so glad you picked this. No words atm, burned out, exhausted but needed to comment. And yeah MG3 is a good gutpunch in so many levels

It's good to talk 😊❤️✌️ amazing reaction Ren just blows our minds yet again 🤯

And this. This is my favorite stream of yours to date. Yesterday this song wrecked me. I can't watch it or listen to it without crying and i love that crying and I listened/watched over and over. And couldn't wait for your reaction because you are badass - but your words and the beautiful power in your words - inspiration on inspiration! Slashley, thank you for doing what you do. You are amazing.

I love your reactions (the wheezy laugh 🥹) and I love your twitches. This song gave me chills and the ending had my eyes watery. The lead up to the song drop was unlike any marketing strategy ever of all time. Playing the money game was super fun. Did you catch any of that? I only solved one of them 🤷‍♂️ Also, this is the second time we’ve been wearing the same shirt at the same time 🖤🖤🖤

I'm super proud of my kids, there going to be celebrating their 29 anniversary of a punk rock band they started when they were 13 years old. This is the kind of stuff they write songs about.

I love this video cause it comes from a person who's down on earth and it's very artistic, just like the kind of person you are as a reactor, I do like you. Blow is an awesome movie btw, right from the time of so many good movies. Man, what an experience this was. This shit was so real. Keep up the good stuff, you're awesome!

I actually loved your thoughts more than the reaction, thanks for your insides i really enjoyed your point of view wich i totally agree with. Im proud of you! Much Love and Peace to you and y'all! ❤

Rick boy Rick boy, Beaten by a Sick Boi !!! Congrats on making #1 on the charts!!!

I seriously appreciate you bringing up the problems with following the herd mentality and being afraid to speak out. The most stark situation I noticed this when I was in the army. I got to my first station just in time for a big exercise/event and noticed that it was a total sh*tshow. Our commander ask for input on how things went at the end and I raised my hand and flat told him (respectfully). From that day on I was a marked man. So I made it my point to stand up for my fellow soldiers around me who were too afraid to speak. I wasn’t and would happily take those shots for them.

An outstanding reaction to MG3, the story of Jimmy and your conversation about it ring true beyond all means. Take care and continue your greatness on this planet.

Ash, nice work bringing up the communication piece, we need to actually listen, actually think, actively engage in critical thinking… Also, Killer Klowns! I remember when that film came out, it was so good! Still is, watched it not long ago. Nice work Ash.

Your reaction and all the talk is perfect and exactly what Ren want to provock. No matter if your opinion is THE perfect one, the point is by sharing our own opinion we will bilt a better society, so PLZ keep on sharing your opinion. 🤓

It's come to the point now where I EXPECT everything Ren does to be brilliant. We're being spoiled here people!

Lovely reaction as always Ash ❤

A Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious reaction 😄was looking forward to your reaction to this video. I knew you wouldn't disappoint! How many of us follow as sheep, join the "IN" crowd? Great reaction to a REN video again, you hooked me from your "Hi Ren" and "Suicide" reaction. Great job

I was blessed with parents that constantly told me that they were proud of me while at the same time pushing me to do better. They recognized my best was different every day. The first time I filled up my car with gas was 65 cents a gallon.

Love your shirt!!!!

Ash I have listened to this song and Many different reactor's comment, your comments at the end hit me like a brick. Thank you for your brilliant insight and amazing comments.

Great rant! Brilliant reaction you got what Ren was saying!

First time listening to you Ash. Your perspective is absolutely on point. I think Ren is brilliant and has started a conversation which for someone so young is epic.

Been a minute Ash! Great, thoughtful, and of course badass, reaction! You are the best! I am proud of you

You are 1000% correct! One of the things I LOVE so much about Ren is his courage to spread these messages. He's putting to ACTION his mission. You are proof of that. Im proof of that commenting here. We are absolutely capable of coming together and changing the way we live. We have the power to remove the power of their money. We can decide to not allow their efforts to divide to work. Thank you for not holding back your feelings and sharing your message. I wish we could make Ren the world's Leader ❤

Oh. I've been waiting for your reaction and I'm scared to press play... ahhhhhh....

People following a person and the chase for money are hand in hand. Ren is recognizing that fact. We all are participating in the money game.

Ren being independent artist is one if not the only reason why his songs aint refabricated, censured by the industry

Continuous chills, GREAT description.

Fantastic reaction 👍

Great reaction to one of the best videos ever

Hey ash good video and cool shirt as I've said before you are a gem on KZread and your positive attitude and personality is infectious 🤘🖤

Apparently Ren wrote the string composition for this

I was hoping you'd react to this, it's a damn masterpiece.

Absolute masterpiece. 🔥🖤

Great thoughts and reaction

"Because time to think and tranquility in thought are lacking, we no longer ponder over different views, but content ourselves with hating them." -Friedrich Nietzsche

What an artist - a Broadway show in ten minutes - but he doesn’t need or want that.

Great reaction

Brilliant reaction to a brilliant artist ❤

I lost my parents in a car accident when I was 10 years old from a drunk driver and when I turned 18 I went to the army I hope they would be be proud. I’ve since left the army now im 34 now wished they where still here

if you have any brains left to be blown by Ren's talent, check this out: You may have not noticed, but yep, this was another one take video performance... AMAZING!!!!

For me the saddest part is all Jimmy wanted was his father to say “I’m proud of you son I love you” which is what drove him and what caused the downfall because at 35 his dad died and he knows he will never hear those words.

People have left some great comments so im just going to say Thankyou Ash loved the reaction 🖤❤🖤❤

Thank you so much. I’m proud of you. You rock 🤘🏻🤘🏻

i love this music video, to me it really talks about how a lot of people are exposed to society only caring about being succesfull, having money,... and so people raising their kids this way only to see what affect and pain it gives sometimes

Awesome Reaction Video Ash Happy Saturday hope you're having an amazing day today You're the best and this Video made my day a lot better love you my friend 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

Yeah I got chills, totally mesmerized! 👌😎 I was expecting a big hip hop anthem and we got something similar to the tale of Jenny and Screech, I wasn't disappointed! Pure 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

When he grabs the camera and yells "cut the music", I literally felt like a little kid about to get yelled at by my parents

4:43 KIDS, TEA IS READY!

Contiguous chills? Oh, you mean a Rengasm!

Hi Ash, you’ve made some truly astute comments and seem wise beyond your years. Keep exploring the world and learning, the fact that you can admit if you’re wrong, or just lack knowledge on something, is HUGE! I just want to add that you always look lovely, your make up is beautifully done, but you are naturally beautiful and seeing you without the lashes & liner just emphasises how lovely you are without the need to add anything. I’m 68, I’ve worn the make up, lashes etc, (not now, ‘cos really? Lol) but I stopped and find I have more time (go figure)which is nice, to do better stuff. You look fab without it, just wanted to say. Love from Annie, in Cornwall, UK🙂🌸

Great reaction. Ren is different gravy.
