you are becoming his biographer, 20 years from now you'll be asked to speak at his lifetime music awards
He’ll be RENS very own Morgan freeman narrator
Love this!
Or Ren will talk of BP’s impact in a Clive Davis style Documentary
Biographer of Ren, thas a really nice job!!
What an awesome comment.
I agree TOTALLY.
Glad to see you react to some of Ren's earliest work. "Trick The Fox" consisted of Ren and his buddies Charlie and Tommy. Unfortunately, the band performed only briefly due to Ren's onset of health issues. They are very talented.
Thanks for the backstory!
@@eryksun Thank you for the detailed background information.
Dude! I'm GenX, and even for me this is "high school vibes" in a way the Bob Seiger, "Night Moves" kind of way. For real. Man, this cat has a multi-generational appeal and I love it. Thanks for your content.
Why do we, as Ren fans, feel so proud of him? Like we are all his parents or something? It's kind of special and I'm here for it.
It's weird. And as a dad and dude it an oddly maternal proud somehow if that makes sense.
It's because we've gone through his experiences and really got to know him as a person that we feel connected like family to him. We want to see him succeed because he's let us in, he's let us truly see him and his abilities and it gives us a feeling of parental pride. I know I am proud of him and as a mother, I know with certainty that I would be proud to be his mother.
Its #TheRenEffect
Omgosh REN❤ the trickthefox stuff is just as good
I hear ya, for me I feel more like the proud grandpa
This stuff was exactly what got him signed to Sony. This is healthy Ren before he came across that damn tick.
He could of been bite any time can take decades to get symptoms but he was healthier here I agree
He probably had Lyme disease at this time but it really had not kicked . My grandma had Lyme disease and they gave her medicine and it went away. They caught it early.
I think the timeline is that he became ill in 2010, the same year as landing the Sony contract. It got progressively worse and by 2013 he disbanded Trick the Fox. Between 2013 and 2016 he was seriously ill and believed that he was going to die in his twenties. As I understand it, he pulled together the Freckled Angels album in 2015 in order to have released an album during his lifetime - it was released in 2016, the same year as he was finally diagnosed with Lyme Disease. He had his first stem cell treatments in 2016 and felt much better than in the previous years. He was able to get out of his house and busk again, which was when he met Sam Tompkins (Incorrect, he first met Sam in 2013 - but in 2016 he was able to meet up/perform with him again) . In 2017, The Big Push was formed. (If any of the above is wrong I am sure other Renegades will provide corrections ... ). I suspect that this track was recorded around 2010/11
Breaks my heart to see what he has went through, and fills me with joy to see where he is now!!! You can see why he was signed. That voice is simply incredible.
@@tribute1965 Weirdly I think the artist that we have today is probably more interesting/unpredictable/edgy, and with songs of real substance, than the artist that we would have seen if he had achieved mainstream success from his Sony album. The music industry is so risk-averse, and would have wanted to keep him to a fairly tight lane. That would have been no good for an artist as creative and unconventional as Ren. And we would not have had the artist that we love today.
Could anyone other than Ren do a mashup that seamlessly goes from Iggy Pop to James Brown to Britney Spears to Queen?
@@sammyd8860absolutely 💯
Mr. Pegasus! One of the attributes you possess that I really appreciate is your willingness to check out content because your simply curious about it regardless of it'll get a ton of views or not.
Thank you man, I just woke up, it’s 5am here in oz, my cat is asking to be fed, I decided to watch this out of respect for Ren and for you brother…… you just put a smile on my face friend
🙏, much love
Take care man
Daz
I hope you remembered to feed your cat !
@@sammyd8860 😂🤣😂 I’m about to, her name is Tia, I have heaps of friends but she is my best friend, anyways, wherever you are in the world sammy I hope you have a good day
Awww BP, you were smiling like a proud father !
While you are at the Fox hole... there's a very short video titled " A Poem By Ren" addressing the meaning in/of life. It is released in 2012, with Ren saying he wrote it a year before. He did record it again under the title Meaning as just audio, for Freckled Angels album, but I like the first one better. If you're interested at baby Ren's deeper thoughts, perhaps you could squeeze this one in with any of his other songs, sometimes?
That's a good one
finally you see... Ren isn't only an enormous all-round talent.. he's working hard on it for decades... sometimes I think it's kind of luck he didn't start a successful career tooooi early so he had the time to develop.. though the reason is bitter.. jooe his actual treatments help ❣️
Ren's in it for 20yrs now: "I started my career by producing beats in my bedroom at 13 years old, making CDs and walking around with a portable CD player trying to convince people to buy them. I got older and started performing out on the streets to anyone who would listen. It was never something just handed to me on a plate, I had to work my ass off to make a dent."
(from his community page)
Thanks for giving me my first Trick The Fox experience BP. 👍💕🦇
"Runaway" trick the fox..when you revisit the band is a gem..but either way glad you did this no one done so much for Rens catalogue and him as an artist as yourself so👍
Love how you react. You’re becoming a Ren aficionado, at this rate you’ll be writing his biography. It’s dope how Ren started off learning his craft. He knows his music, learns the various genres and puts in the work. That’s why he’s a class act! He’s sayin’ even in those days “I know my music history and I’ll show you where that can go too in the future”.
I think Ren was really cool here. Its got a The Kooks/Ed Sheeran vibe to it. I think you can hear Ren through that vibe but I think Ren was still trying to find his voice so to speak at that time. At least half of the songs during that period were on his freckled angles album and they were signed by Sony back then. Due to his ill health he had to disband Trick the Fox and he finished Freckled Angels with new songs whilst very much ill in his bedroom. I find it interesting that Ed Sheeran Blew up with his debut album around a year after Trick the Fox got signed. Both Ed Sheeran and Ren started out Busking and sharing their music online. Its quite possible Ren heard Ed's early music online before he got famous hence why I hear a bit of influence there or maybe its the other way around who knows?
I love baby Ren with the Peter Pan vibe. Still one of my favorites. The mashup is fun. A handful of the songs from that time period are on the Freckled Angels album including the title song, as well as love music pt1, Run Away, Street lights and Living room poetry.
Lovin' this song! Haven't heard anything from Ren that I haven't absolutely LOVED!
And I'm so glad I found you BP through your Ren reactions!
LOVE your reactions, and watching your journey coming terms with being masculine and figuring out, showing emotion in no way takes that away from you!! Keep being you! ❤
Ren continues to amaze me in every way! He is music. He really is!❤
You do you!!! That is what is important.
This song is amazing because it confirms what all Renegades know about Ren, he had the "it" factor right from the start🎉 and it is a beautiful song! Like a broken record, I hope you do a reaction to his song Jessica, also about this time in Ren's life❤thanks BP, you have such a beautiful soul❤
❤ it
Whenever you finally get around to the Ren and Sam “improvising around Stevie Wonder” video you are going to kick yourself for waiting so long! 🤣
BP, so glad you started to watch and react to Rens earlier stuff.
He has always been amazing. Born to do it
Keep up the support brother. And the live just keeps going around. Keep tight
What a talent all those years ago, no wonder Sony signed him!
Hi BP! I’ve been at home waiting for surgery for some time and you and your channel has been really helping me. Thank you, Bizzie
This gives me Ed Sheeran vibes with a Bieber haircut!! I love this song!!😊
Baby Ren...so cute.
It really is the hero's journey. And we can see some of it play out here on YT - it's pretty wild to have all this material to watch his journey. All the hard work and the struggles...incredible!
So happy to see you take a look into Ren’s older work. And yes, of course he was still amazing haha 🔥🔥🔥💕
Can't wait to hear it man have you got a chance to listen to Children of the Moon
Kind of funny you mentioned looking back at high school and realizing they were some of the best days - even if it didn't seem like it at the time.
When my HS reunion committee called about the 10 year reunion, I actually told them I'd only recently stopped having nightmares about HS, so I didn't think going to the reunion was a good idea. I think it's kind of a funny story.
Thanks for all the Ren reactions!!!
Patience is great one to react to. When he was around the same age. He has dark hair and is sitting on a couch or bed.
He already has his guitar style down. He does a lot of fingure picking and then clicks… 1,2,3 click. I love it.
The Mashup is one of my favorites. So much fun
Very freaking cool! He's been oozing with creativity and talent from a very young age!
this is awesome, and no wonder Sony wanted to sign him. Wonder what would have become of all this if he never got sick. We all love Ren as his is now, but this is just different and great!
Loved your reaction to young Ren. It's great stuff. If you do young Ren again, & you should, make sure his "Ain't No Sunshine" cover/retake is part of the mix. It will surprise you.
Still waiting for you to check out one of my top two Ren songs Crutch. It. Is. Stunning.
This was a nice dive into the extended rabbit hole though 😊
Agreed. Crutch is phenomenal, as is the video. It’s completely different sound from all his other completely different-sounding tracks!
Amazing song and video
Agreed. Crutch is amazing and gut wrenching
The Mash Up with Charles on back vocals and bass rocks . They do welcome to jam rock and superstitious . Plus they have about 8 songs out with some og versions of some songs like Love Music. Enjoy Trick The Fox !
He was around 21 it was his band in Bath before getting ill.
Yay!!!! Lost boy is 1 of my favorite Trick the fox songs!! 🙌🙌🙌
Well done it's such fun looking for young Ren on you tube, there is so much out there...💐💐💐💐
Another song he did when he was around this age is Jessica. It’s one of my favorites… ❤ When you have time you should check it out! 🥰
I never cease to be amazed by Ren.
He kicked the portals down and came on thru🔥
No matter how far you go back in Rens catalogue he has never been average ! He has consistently brought good vibes and emotion . I LOVE this guy 😍
One of my favorite song of “Early Ren” is Streetlights the Live version such a fun upbeat song!
@blackpegasus you should do a series. Something along the lines of the evolution of ren. That would be amazing
You do an amazing job BP keep it up go deeper into his catalogue so many great older songs
He will grow on to charm the whole world. And it's necessary that the world hears his message and his beautiful, otherworldly music. However, dear REN FAMILY can we please protect him. I dont want the machine to swallow him, i don't want society to suffocate him. He is really special. I always listened lots of music but i've never fallen down a rabbit hole that seems endless. I just cant stop and every day I discover something new about him; He is the gift that keeps on giving.
Wasnt it Trick the Fox that got Ren noticed by Sony Records??
He surprised you yesterday! 😂😂😂
Наконец то я/мы этого дождался! Осталось ещё увидеть все материалы снятые к трилогии Дженни. BP, хорошая работа, мужик!
The guy’s just multi-gifted. That was cute!
I love going down rabbit holes 🎉🎉🎉 keep going fuck the haters
It's crazy to see this because if I would have seen this before Ren now I would have thought they were talented but skipped over. His evolution is crazy
Thanks, BP! Super fun! It also shows how long he has worked at his craft...persevered through good, bad and horrific. Thanks, BP, for all you do. Love your videos!
Nice deep dive.
Love it!! Both the reaction and the song!!🔥🔥
I'm so happy you went digging because this was a fun one 😊 I think he looks somewhere between 13 and 15 here. Lucky for us, it's apparent he was just born to do this 😁
Runaway is one of my favorite songs from Freckled Angels. He did it with Trick the Fox too. It's an even better version. You should check it out.
You can tell Ren has always been serious about his music❤❤❤❤❤...so proud of him
Little fuzzy haired ren is just adorable 😂
Awww, thanks for reacting to these; it's hard to believe he was ever a pleb!
We love it to go with it we are here for you.
On "HI REN," he says at 17, he screamed into an empty room against the forces of evil before facing the next 10 years of illness etc.
fully agree with you, my mind was on the same spot. The song is a calm summer afternoon on the lake with your friends and that girl that you always liked it ....but still was a long shot. :)
Another great reaction, not seen these before, thank you 🙏❤️👍🐊🦉
Awesome Song.. awesome talent.. Fun going through all this with ya BP! The Ren rollercoaster just keeps going.. Fun to see how you're grow'n from all this too.
He’s already playing with portraying different characters . Doing it subtly with his hair style when playing different styles of music. This guy’s been oozing creativity all his days… 💯
We love you BP. I like that you ate doing a deep dive into Ren's back catalogue.
Cheers for showing me this!!!👌 what a song! 👊
Love this! So happy that you reacted to it! 🎉
He must be about 20 here, I believe he was signed when he was 21/22 then became sick. I think he then became housebound for like 6/7 years undiagnosed.
He was picked up by a talent scout around 16 even. Bitten by the tick around 17, signed with Sony around that time. Got sicker while working with Sony and performing. Until he was bedridden. After that Sony kept him on hoping he would get better, but alas he did not. When the contract ran out both decided to not renew. So baby Ren for real here! So cute!
This era of Ren looks a little like Justin bieber...early 2000s..soft tone vocal, radio music...not what I'm used to with Ren, but I like it..he really does cover alot of genres..
❤❤”Cherish This”❤❤ Perfect, BP
I’m so happy you’re watching this. I was one of the people that was saying stuff about this group!
You know I don't get to say it enough thank you again Mr. Black pegasus for entertaining me everyday at work I so appreciate this❤❤
You should get Anthony Ray to teach you. He's a super beatboxer! Really good. He showed it off a bit on his interview with Dom and in his Ren Diss reaction.
It's crazy seeing the kind of artist Ren was in the 'Sony' era, before illness left its imprint on his character and his music.
Love you did this one!❤ Thanks BP!
Love this song!!❤ Thanks for the reaction!
Baby Ren!
Amazing
Ren is like a musical octopus, with talents stretching out in all directions. There's probably a home video of Ren at five years old playing a plastic toy guitar and spitting a rap/reggae version of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star somewhere on the internet.
This song gives me a Jason Mraz feel,lol...I'm loving it!!!!😃I've often felt Ren has a touch of Jason Mraz in his soul,lol...but then again,I think Ren embodies MANY musical influences!!😄glad I found your channel as you were discovering Ren...you always Do a FANTASTIC job reacting to his music!!Ren is awesome,even back then!!🎶🔥✌
More,this is your life..this is great stuff Pegasus ...I think its 50years of Hip Hop this year Dope..Great Channel by the way.
Chillin out listening to your views..sweeeet.thanx
Ooooh my gosh I love your reactions. You just brought so much joy to this day.😂🥰
His voice his style everything he is an artist all of is own, can't compare him to any other artist, he just kills every Genre, the talent is never ending, Love this Ren, All Great, his music his style I can't compare him to anyone, he was born to be an artist/performer/ story teller Etc. he would kill it producing&Acting, I think there is nothing Ren can't do, he looks like that baby face innocent look here, he's a cutie !!!! lol 💯 💯
Ren was so cute...lol. Does anyone else want to bake him cookies.
Glad you did this one. Thanks for the reaction!
Bro I had the same hair style as you BP
Hair growing longer on the side with other side shaved with the spike on the side - that was the beginning of my Cali skater phase “86” 6th grade
This cracked me up- I recently heard to look for some videos on my external hard drive- and damn- I am 37.., but the videos from 16-24… OMG funny/ weirdo- so much fun… and sooooo glad I didn’t have social media back then!
love The look on your face watching this. it was the proud dad face..
Man there are so many talented people from his year group when he was studying in Bath. There was something special happening there back then.
Wow. That was really good young Ren!
Love seeing you continue the journey.
Another time I try to get you react to Annenmaykantereit, a german band Ren mentioned in the interview. They are awesome!
Just saw you did it 😂❤
I remember Trick the Fox from back in the day. He’s such a baby in this video.
That was freaking awesome. I loved it
Can I hear a bit of Ed Sheeran influence in Ren’s early stuff.. glad he carved out his own lane, but love this side of him too.
I was going to say that you are fast becoming my favourite youtube reaction channel, but I think you actually are already. 😊👍 🇬🇧
This was before his illness, which obviously had a massive impact on making him the way he is today. It’s sad watching him then, happy and hopeful, and thinking about what he would have to go through in the following decade. 😢
I've been noticing that your beatboxing skills are on the up. Thanks for reacting to Trick The Fox, I've been curious about it, good stuff.
You're a real one BP
