Ren is like a sponge, soaking up everything he sees and hears and when squeezed out pops a new song that is a mixture of it all.
Ren was raised on the Isle of Anglesey in a very, very tiny village with just one shop. Then he "fled" to brighton to explore himself and his music.
If you wanna know everything, watch the interview he did with Justin Hawkins.
Jamaica is still part of the Commonwealth. A lot of people came from Jamaica to the UK after WW2 when a workforce was needed. 500 of them came on the Windrush in 1948, a British ship that sailed to Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago to ask for help. One of the many horrendous acts of the recent Conservative governments, including the current one, is that they changed the rules and demanded that those people and their descendants apply for residency. A lot of those who weren't aware of the rule change were deported, even if they had not been in the Carribean for decades or ever. The government was required to offer a compensation scheme in the end, but made it ultra hard to apply. Just today we got the news that they announced closing the scheme down 'because of lack of interest' while so many people are still struggling through the process.
Throughout the British Empire, for example in the Pirate era, but especially today, Caribbean Culture had and has a great impact on Britain.
A lot of British Spoken Word and Rap comes out of London music scenes, where the crossover of different ethnicities gave birth to Multi-Ethnic-London-English, AKA Urban British English, also known sometimes as Jafaican. While it is such a mixed form of English that it couldn't be pinpointed (hence multiethnic) the base is strongly Jamaican English. Caribbean language, poetry, music, fashion, and food are a firm part of British culture, as are Pakistani, Indian, Nepali influences and many African nations. Come to London and just take the Tube to different areas and walk around. You can travel the world in London.
Thank you for that info!
Thank you for this great comment. Really interesting.
Watch the Big Push doing SWAN SONG with Ren playing the Melodica 😅. Get well soon my friend 🤞🙏
The harmonies on that song are amazing. ❤
It’s funny he’ll hit you with something crass like that and then just come back with a set of bars that makes you forget what you heard
I hope you can have a bit of sleep... you must be knackered!
When you wake up... Ren was raised on Anglesey in Wales. Definitely country.
Also, check out the history of Island Records and Chris Blackwell. He's in the Hall of Fame, he's still alive today. In the 60s he did a lot of work bringing reggae and ska to a larger audience in the UK and the world. Marley was with Island I think. The UK wanted it, too. We had a large immigrant community after ww2 and he brought music from his home in Jamaica to them. The government had extended a welcome to commonwealth countries to come and help rebuild, and be trained to work in all parts of the NHS for example. Many took it up. From then, our cultures were intermingled, and that in turn led to an established culture of british reggae, ska and two tone. I think this is one way the music culture of the UK differs radically from the US.
I hope that all made sense.
I haven’t seen Ren playing a flute but I do see him play a Melodica with The Big Push - Swan song
I love it when Bond fans find Love Music 2... so much fun. When you add in all the references (things like license to kill), there are closer to 20. I think 'A dippy lippy pretty-looking hippie village idiot' might be one of my favorite quotes from a song. Also, the ninja sheep in toys-are-US always make me smile. Awesome song! All three are wonderful for the energy they create.
Loved this reaction! The UK and reggae go back a ways. . Ren was raised in a tiny town in North Wales, & didn't leave for Bath and Brighton respectively til he was in his late teens. LM 2 is my fav of the trio but can't wait for Thurs. drop of #4 ! I swear Ren's soul is composed of music. He said in an interview a few years ago that he played drums in the Big Push when they needed drums "but i wasn't very good at it." so they went & found a real drummer, who by the way had been a base guitarist ! That would be Glen.
I don’t know if it’s true, I read it in a comment somewhere, but he reportedly said he left the band because he felt his drumming wasn’t good enough to keep up with what they wanted and that he now lives in Thailand and is a programmer.
It might just be more internet BS.
@@supertuscans9512I do feel that there was friction (just watch REN’s body language whenever he’s asked about the band reforming) & that he didn’t play on a fair amount of stuff the band did. I don’t know if it’s because they didn’t need drumming on those tracks or if they were writing tracks without drumming because he wasn’t as committed as the rest. They did busking gigs without a drummer sometimes as well, which is interesting simply because we know they had one.
I had heard that they found a drummer because Ren didn’t feel his own drumming was strong enough, so maybe the rumors got twisted together?
Either way, the band was great & it’s sad they’re no more. 💜
I have definitely seen Ren say there was no friction and the band broke up on good terms and that one day they might get back together for some stuff. He said the band as a group felt at the time it had reached the destiny of where they wanted it to go.
Ren and Romain particularly are apparently still very tight. Meanwhile Goran, Roman and Ren are all busy releasing their own stuff, as is Sam who’s also right with Ren but wasn’t in the BP.
He said in an interview somewhere that he hasn’t met an instrument yet that he couldn’t figure out. My nephew is the same way (starting at age 4 when he snuck a ukulele off a wall at a party & learned it while the grownups were talking in the other room). 💜
Ren was raised in a tiny village on an island off the coast of Wales. He's a country boy. Some think this is reggae but really it is Ska music. If someone asks you who told you, it wasn't me.
I heard Anthony Ray say that this one is more technical rap than The Hunger. I love to watch reactions to this one and Part 3 as much as Losing It!
Ren was raised in a town so small it was basically the country.
This one is even more playful, funny, silly, all of that. Just good vibes!
It’s funny I just made a comment on your love music, part one and here I am again
I think the first reactor to actually get most of the James Bond film titles. :) some people actually miss them completely but I think you spotted more than anyone. I think you missed 2 or 3 at least though ;)
I just love how this track brings a smile - sharing the joy of the love of music.
Yes, he was raised in the country - a tiny tiny village in north wales that I think he said had one little shop and nothing else close. I think he lived there until he went to college for a while in Bristol (which itself is not a /big/ city) and then Brighton which again, is not a big city. So he’s very much a ‘country boy’ I think.
Ren grew up in Anglesea which is a small Welsh Island and didn't moved to Brighton until his late teens.
One of his favourite bands are The Police, a white reggae band from the 80s. Sting was their frontman ( check out The Big Push doing Englishman in New York).
King Dotta has dropped a couple of good tracks since Ren's diss, one called thank you so I believe Ren has had a big influence on him.
Since you dropped pt1.. I have been refreshing like crazy waiting for the next one… yeah!!!🎉. And don’t worry about taking too long in a video.. we love it, when you love it!! Take your time and enjoy it!! And well done on catching the James Bond bars.. most don’t (shocking , I know!!! 😋) hope you feel better soon!!!
His ear is impeccable! It amazes me how well he can switch accents languages etc.. He is truly amazing! Thanks for such entertaining commentary! ✌🏻🫶🏻
Yeah he was raised in the country in Anglesey 🖤
Love your Ren reactions ❤ love music pt 2 is my favourite one of the 3 ❤
Illest of our time was the sick little puppy reference 😂
Onward to part 3 buddy. Can't wait for you to react to that one!!...and then pt 4 when it drops next week!!
Fun fact he directly or indirectly referenced 20 james bond movies all while playing the james bond tune
Awesome as usual. I'm behind in watching- Heading to Pt 3 right now. 💛
He plays bad - guitar- drums- piano- cello and some other odd little instruments I don’t know the name for😂. ❤
Ren is from a tiny village in Anglesey an island on the coast of Wales
He moved away to Bath for University at 18.
Ended up in Brighton sometime after that not sure of exact timing
That whole album is good
He started making beats at age 12 in very very rural Wales. That’s why he couldn’t find singers/ rappers and stared to sing / rap himself.
Go to bed man 😂 love your reaction yeh think he wanted to be drummer but better at guitar and singing he plays a bit on drums in the big push live version of sweet little lady. 😉
get well soon.
Did you catch the James Bond riff playing as he raps over it?
❤❤❤
we have had a great reggae/ska scene in the UK since the 50's , always been popular
That's awesome. I love ska. I once jumped on stage with less than Jake and tore two earrings out stage-diving.
@@zack_reacts the UK had a big, invited, influx of Caribbean immigrants after WW2 due to rebuilding the workforce over here. Naturally, they brought the music culture over with them too.
