As a gal who listened to the Beastie Boys in high school, this one always makes me smile. 'Lyrical tantrum' is probably one of the best descriptions I've heard for when Ren goes off like that. Love it!

The ending scene where they get kicked out of the grocery store is a fun nod to the Beastie Boys. They got kicked out of a subway for filming without permission.

This video was shot in the same month as "murderer" but was released WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY earlierer.

I saw Kriss Kross at Wembley, supporting MJ on his Dangerous tour. That night MJ failed to appear so Kriss Kross were the only act I saw. This song is great fun. I saw your surprise when you realised you'd missed this before the album launch. A great Spotify add.

Theres Viktus in the purple!

So good to see you loving this homage track to the beastie boys. Viktus also making an appearance in this dressed in purple. What fun these guys must have had making this track. Ren is a Welsh Wonder

One of my favorite fun Ren songs. Fantastic reaction, I really loved seeing the pure joy on your face!

Nothing like Ren and the lads spending time at the park goofing off and OH yeah making an awesome music video!😂

I love this song! So glad you reacted to this. “I’m Rocky but I’m meaner, I’ll turn ya like I’m Tina” is one of my favorite lines. It was great to see how much you enjoyed this! 🔥🔥🔥☮️😎❤️

Dude I felt the exact same joy the first time hearing this song. Great reaction 🤘

I'm so excited that you jumped on this so quickly when you realized you'd missed it. ❤ It's a gem!

Listening to this song is like getting a visit from old friends you haven't seen or heard from since the nineties.

I hope someone has sent this to the Beastie boys I'd love to see their reaction to this homage

Yes, man, fire! Anyone who is a true hip hop fan would know and love the Beastie Boys. If u wanna hear Ren do the DJ-scratchy beatbox sound, do check out "The Big Push - Sweet Little Lady (live acoustic)" Thanks for the reaction. Loved seeing you vibe with it!

This one is pure FUN.

The guy in the purple tracksuit is called Vik aka Viktus

Ah, yes! Love me some Beastie Boys. Have them on my play list. I'm from Florida and Beastie Boys were a must play driving back and forth to the beach and while there. Good times. This video brought me so much joy the first time I saw it. Thank you for making me smile with your commentary during videos.

Ren said yesterday he wrote this in 2015. So glad he used it on this album, but it makes me wonder about all the songs he’s scrapped!! I added this song to my Beasties playlist & I find I never even notice it’s Ren. 😺 I do wish that the Beasties could have seen this tribute. 💜

I suspect he doesn't fully *scrap* many songs if there was a kernel of something in there that pulled him into working on them for any amount of time. I bet he has hard drives full of bits of beats and raps and guitar parts that he was really excited about, that he just couldn't turn into something he was happy with *at the time.* I think he'll continually be delving into his musical "scrapbook" to re-visit things he once set aside if he couldn't work them any further at the time. In 2023, especially for an artist who is as immersed in the *production* (ie, recording) of his music as Ren is, I bet he has an awful lot of stuff he's fooled around with over the years, saved (hopefully with backup, too...)

We are truly Beastie Brothers...my childhood was shaped upon them in a lot of ways, and here I am 20+ years reliving it on a whole other spectrum and its an amazing tribute to them

I was waiting for you to hear this and see your reaction to this Ren classic 🎶😍❤️ brilliant reaction thank you for great vibes 👌🎵🎧💜🎶

One of my favorite s!!! ❤❤❤

Cooler than an icecube sitting in your freezer, a little extra bonus , the supermarket he films that in is called Iceland lol

The 90s vibe will never cease to amuse us.

This song by Ren is one of my favorites I love the Beastie boys in Ren is a legend

😁😁😁😎😎 what a fun reaction! Thanks Anthony❤

Lol. Thanks for sharing AR. Seeing your joy at catching this classic brought a smile to my face. ✌️

The first time I heard this, my head nearly exploded. I was taken back in time to the age of about fourteen when my friend had a bootleg tape of the beastie boys album that had you gotta fight for your right to party on it. We wore the tape out we played it so much 😊❤

Loved watching your face light up when you realized this was old school Beastie Boys vibes! Ren is the gift that keeps on giving 🎁 It’s also cool seeing Viktus in the video ❤

I love how much this one made you smile. It shows that he loves the old school stuff too, it's a real homage to those who came before.

I love how much fun Ren has on this one.

Ice cubes are also refered as Rocks.. Ex. Whisky on Rocks😊

Thank you! Not enough people appreciate old school hip hop! I love how Ren is able to be so inventive, but also brings the old school into all of it

I didn’t know you’d missed this one but when I saw you were reacting to it I knew you’d love it. Good job.

Until the day Ren released the Sick Boi album track listing last month-ish, I had NO IDEA that some of the amazing tracks we ("we" = those of us who found Ren when "Hi Ren" took off) all discovered through "Hi Ren" that I thought were part of his *back catalogue* - Genesis, The Hunger, What You Want - were gonna be on the album. Those videos had been released so long before the album was being released, it didn't occur to me that I was gonna get em on Sick Boi! It was a huge joy to discover that they were a part of the project of this album.

Such a fun track! Love the Beastie Boys vibe too ❤. Banger ❤

This track always makes me smile. Captures old school hip hop perfectly…..Ren always pays homage in a great way….loved this 🔥

I’ve been recommending this track to so many people for the last year. They nailed it straight up old school fun .

As a teenager, I had a poster of the Beastie Boys on my closet door. Eminem and Beastie Boys were my first introduction to rap. Great memories!

I got to see the Beastie Boys live a couple of times, once as the Beastie Boys, and once in a small venue as Quasar. One of the best concerts I've been too. Such a great night.

It's impossible to watch this without a big grin on you face. Couldn't wait for yours Anthony! 😁

This takes me back... Love it

This is one of my favorites! Love the old school feel! ❤

And Ren named it "What you want"!

This one always makes my friends smile

One of my favorites!

Wow Kris Kross that took me back,loved them back in the day ❤

I LOVE this song. I'm oldie

This is one of my favorites ❤ Beastie Boys is part of the soundtrack of my youth.

I'm amazed you missed this one for so long. I lost count of how many different Beasties nods there are through out. Like a baby love letter to an iconic group.

Thanks for explaining what cooler than an ice cube sitting in your freezer means. 😉👍

You're welcome

This one just makes me smile. Pure fun

Loved watching you see this for the first time!

Very cool, it was great to see how much you enjoyed that song. But can't believe you hadn't done this one before. Thanks!

Love that smile this gave you!!!

Love this one! So much fun!❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥✌🏻🫶🏻

This is def one of my Ren favs! Great reaction. ❤🔥❤

This one is in my top 5 Ren songs......I'm a huge Beasties Boys fan!!

OMG I missed the Criss Cross nod. LOL. I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Gabon, Africa in the early 90s- in a village of 500 without electricity- the teens next door were dressing like Kriss Kross and played their music on a boom box that was rigged to run off a car battery. ❤😂

I love how the old fella joins them for a dance at the end 😂

The unexpected. Fire! Loved your reaction! Thanks Anthony!

Your joy over this was great 😂 Such a fun Beastie Boys tribute while somehow still 100% Ren. Maybe it’s his understanding of music or his wide variety of influences? Or just Ren being Ren 😅

Yes Anthony Can’t believe you hadn’t done this one yet one of the first 10 Ren songs I found back in January - been a Beasties fan since 1985! 🙌😊❤️

Anthony, I am glad you found this.... To me, this was pure fun. I love the passerby's Breaking at the end. Especially Old Dude in the camo pants. The Brilliance of Ren is that it does not always have to be cold - Have some effing fun. Then your cold hits; hit even harder.

Dude you was so excited to the hear the bars you missed the best bar in the Song, the Tina Turner bar 🤣 "Turn you like i'm Tina" 😆 Totally get why you missed it watching you Vibe to the Song and the Joy on your face is what watching reactions is all about. Respect Sir.

I don't think I have ever seen you have so much fun during a reaction! 🙂 It's nice too for Ren to bring us the smiles after all the heavy.

❤ #Ren I was just listening to album while cooking n this came on n was dancing about 😂❤ great vibes!

Gotta have that bouncy bassline for the Beastie Boys sound. Love this song!

Great reaction love and respect from the UK 👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍

The last verse Ren said he tried to make it sound abit more like Jurassic 5.

I’m shocked you missed this. I’m just hitting play and excited to see your joy

❤️‍🔥 yea blast from the past

I love when Ren gives us Big Fun like this. It's the feel good track of the album, perfectly placed between "Uninvited" and "The Hunger". It was nice to see you enjoy it so much.

so glad you got round to this one I new you would love it ❤❤❤

Just want to say I’m also here for you. I’m super enjoy your excitement for music and explanations for things that I don’t understand. Plus I’ve listen to your original continent kicks ass. I love that you use more than one language. Keep on keeping on.

This was great...loved to see the joy on your face in this one 😊

So glad you finally got to hear this one this song is my favorite Ren song, but that might be because I’m old-school

This song makes me smile every time i hear it.

A lyrical tantrum. Love that

this is perfection 🔥🔥 just imagine w me tho if ren released a "what you want" part 2 paying homage to the spice girls 😱😂

Brilliant

One of my favs...and yes, I'm a Beastie Boys fan....since Licensed to Ill as a 14 year old.

This reaction is gold. Sending new renegades your way!

8:03 that eyebrow 😂😂😂

Pure entertainment, really fun 👍

Great reaction the smile on your face was continuous I loved watching you react to another #REN classic

Anthony, I've been waiting for this moment; out of pretty much anyone in the universe this had to land in your ears!

Lol love it loved the Beastie Boys

Love this song and video. Glad to see you react to it!

Sooo glad you were late on this...Beasty Boys brought me into rap...and been awhile since a good reactor did this one❤❤❤❤❤

When you click play on a Ren track… remove any and all expectations 😂

Almost 1k views in 6 hours. This reaction is so good bc you get it

This one takes me back to my teenage years

One of my favorites

I hope you like Locco as much as you liked this one! As a Beastie Boys fan I've been loving this one for a long time 😁 Great reaction. I think I'll watch it again for that smile 😃

I absolutely love this reaction. Your smile 💕

Ren is 🔥🔥🔥

Great reaction, fab song! Grinning from ear to ear with you, so cool you loved this one 😊

the beastie vibes just bring me back to the 80's watching mtv till parents kick me off the tv

you‘ve missed the „tina turner-bar“ because of you focusing on ice cube. it was right after that. 😂.

Great reaction and video, thank you 🦉🐊👍🙏❤️

6:30 missed 'Turn you like I'm Tina' reference to Tina Turner.
