Title: “Back on 74” Released: 2023 Artists: Jungle (a London-based electronic pop soul band) Song theme: Nostalgia and nostalgic memories of a fictitious place called 74th Avenue. Title: “Message in a Bottle”. Released: 1979. Artists: Police (British rock band), Sting (lead singer). Song theme: A castaway on an island sends out a message in a bottle because he is lonely and alone. Ren’s video features Sylvia Mwenze, Scarlett Fae and Kai Lacey.
This was another brilliant ReNtake. Just Ren doing Ren things. Crazy runs and harmonies, filthy bars to remind us that he is also still a cheeky boi, and that voice that’s perfect for Sting/The Police songs. Ren has music in his soul and pours so much soul into everything he does. We’re just lucky to witness it 🐰🕳️ Also unfortunately Ren hasn’t done any full on metal. Yet. He has said on stream that he would like to at least do some nu metal someday. Until then I think the closest we get is maybe Crutch feat. Bibi. It’s an older song from before Ren was finally correctly diagnosed and was written after a breakdown following multiple emergency trips to the hospital. It is heart wrenching and stunning.
I enjoyed your reaction to REN’s old school vibes. His homage to Sting/The Police was spot on. There’s nobody doing what REN is creating out there, not even mainstream. I can’t wait for him to do a Jeff Buckley retake. Thanks!
Guy on the bass is Ren's friend Kai. There was a BTS and Kai ended up sitting down because they were in a tight corner and some of the shots or positions would've been tricky.
There's an old MV by a younger Ren when he was still ill fighting his Lyme disease, when the doctors still didn't know it was Lyme, It's called "Crutch". It reminds me of something Sleep Token might perform, style wise. It starts out as a piano ballad but in the last 1/3 of this track Ren starts to shred on the electric and gives some metal level vocals. You guy's should check it out.🔥🤯✌
Ren and his band the big push do The Clash, Guns of Brixton, its not metal but its different to alot of his stuff, its a busking one done at night you might enjoy that ❤ from the UK
Guys the first part is a song by Jungle called “Back on 74”, I’ve start listening to the band Jungle and it’s nice stuff. Then there’s the Police “Message in a bottle”. You’re welcome.
The Big Push release from a couple weeks ago "Heart Attack" is a blast of swampy blues-rock that easily could have come from '74. Would make a fine reaction. v=aBJmZ51VgNM
I'll give you guys a 1 up on uk music, we have a massive influx of amazing peoples from the Caribbean and it's directly influenced al parts of our culture, including music. Which will in small part explain Rens cadences

Ren is magnificent ! He is more than anyone else Ren is a legend . Money Game 1and 2 you have to see and Money Game 3 is brilliance ! His emotion touches the heart if it doesn't touch anyones heart they never had a heart to begin with. Ren is a genius he is fantistic .

Ren is an amazing story teller also Put on Right Here Right Now Rens work is the best ! And Message In A Bottle is great.
Others may have mentioned... but he has a video called Crutch... with Bibi... it's got a bit of this and that but also rock/metal in there too. It's surprisingly haunting and beautiful and deep.
Also Have you watched ran in the big push busking live of I shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/hip-hop? Amazing another side of Ren? What can he not do??? You mentioned the slight sound of Jamaican vibe in his voice. You are absolutely going nuts listening to his pure reggae vibe!❤

Haha I noticed the Oregon Trail shirt right away, I recently found an emulator online & would play the OG keyboard-control version of it at work, using my co-workers names as my crew. Every so often I’d announce who had just died from Dysentery 😂😂 & Shout out to Zelda! I might still have my N64 & blow the dust off the Ocarina of Time cartridge every now & again…
You need to do “Lost all faith” by Ren. It’s got a blend of rap and some rockish vibes in the chorus. It’s one of my favorites of his, I’m sure you guys will dig it! Also “Fire” by Ren has rock vibes
Hello les gars très très bonne réaction c'est la, meilleur version pur chef d'œuvre REN est unique artiste complet et sa voix me transporte très loin.. Merci infiniment 💖🙏🎸🎶👍👏🎵🎼🇫🇷
Your new intro was really cool! Great reaction to this song. A song I'll suggest that's Rock with a punk vibe is "What kind of Woman is This" this is a live recording not busking on the streets, with the Big Push. Ren has so many influences in music that it is hard to pick out which one he sounds like. Some of the Rock ones are, System of a Down, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Clash, Sex Pistols, Rage Against the Machine and more.
Here's a short clip of behind the scenes/rehearsals for this track he put on his instagram czcams.com/video/gYScobd-04c/video.html Only Ren could continue working and creating whilst having an IV Drip in his arm!! Dedication :)
You guys may be in luck with Sublime.... Ren's latest round of retakes has been 1 Easter egg in the song which leads to the next song... Fred again had something that hinted back on 74, back on 74 mentioned Nas, Nas retake mentions 'rest in peace mac', which led to Mackay, & in the Mackay video (instrumental) he is wearing a sublime sweatshirt!
Fantastic reaction, gents! Enjoyed your edits as well. 😉😜 I can't get enough of this track, been on repeat since it dropped. 🔥🔥🔥 Big luv to Kai and the ladies, Sam on camera. Chef's 💋
Highly recommend you check out Jungle. This song and its original video are part of full length musical short film. It's incredible and I only just check it out yesterday.
Last time I stopped by your channel, you were trying to figure out if NF or Ren was a "better rapper". I look at Ren doing songs like this, and just kinda chuckle at the question... there's genuinely not any other current musician I know of (not that I'm an expert) that touches on as many genres as Ren does, especially as well as he does. This track is so much fun! BTW, you mentioned the Rat Pack... Ren does a WICKED impression of Frank Sinatra. 😎 It's sort of boggling tbh.
It wouldn't be so bad if you actually rewound a few seconds after each of those many pauses, so that you didn't miss anything but you either didn't rewind, or rewound half a second. You can do it however you like, of course but you're missing some of the best lines and best transitions by not doing so.
Guys, there is no need to see if you can break a record for pausing. I am trying to like the channel but literally pausing every 2 lines robs you and your viewers. Seriously. It will have the same impact waiting. Take advantage of the luxury of an independent artist that supports reactors so you don't have to pause for copy write. The creators that pause the least have the largest audiences. that isn't coincidence. this reaction was beyond frustrating because as much as I like you both I had to unsubscribe.
I understand where you're coming from but it actually takes away from the artist. The full version should be watched on their channel. We are here to just have fun and give our thoughts.
And actually the biggest CZcamsr's are ones who break down lyrics or do vocal analysis and they pause very very often. Many of them with well over 1 million subscribers

The Police are one of his biggest influencers 😊

Check out "Murderer" next. The official video first but he has a sick acoustic version of it too with a whole different vibe that you'd love.
For that falsetto you have to go back to the king, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles.
Listen to Ren's "Fire" off his CD Freckled Angels it's semi rock on think.
I think they'll love Fire!
OREGON TRAIL AND LEGEND OF ZELDA!! ❤❤❤
REN'sDay! ❤❤❤❤
Ren and his band the big push do The Clash, Guns of Brixton, its not metal but its different to alot of his stuff, its a busking one done at night you might enjoy that ❤ from the UK
Love the Clash and TBP cover is so good
Oh and my Dad used to live in Brixton when the song was made
I'd never heard of Back On 74, but knew Message In A Bottle. Love this soooo much! Love his rap in the middle ❤
It's a huge joy, isn't it?!...
It's our ARTIST... Ren!
So good!
Thanks for the reaction.
There's a tiny bit of metal in "Crutch" ft Bibi and it's unexpected and excellent lol.
If you guys haven't checked out Ren's Spontaneous Stream Jam, you definitely should. It's around 14 minutes long but it's def worth it! ❤

REN - fire
Others may have mentioned... but he has a video called Crutch... with Bibi... it's got a bit of this and that but also rock/metal in there too. It's surprisingly haunting and beautiful and deep.
"Fire" off freckled angels has big time Red Hot Chili Pepper vibes
Also Have you watched ran in the big push busking live of I shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/hip-hop? Amazing another side of Ren? What can he not do??? You mentioned the slight sound of Jamaican vibe in his voice. You are absolutely going nuts listening to his pure reggae vibe!❤

{BACK ON 74}
Keep it rockin', doin’ the same thing
And we get high on the breakdown
And we were watching from the same time
But that don't change what I think now.
And we were talking 'bout the same crime
No, we don't hide when it rains now
I learned my lesson at the same time
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh where did it
Go, back on 74
Call this place my home
Never gonna cry anymore
Where did it all go
Ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh
Keep it rockin', doin' the same thing
And we get high on the break down
And we were watching from the same time
But that don't change what I think now
And we were talking 'bout the same crime
No, we don't hide when it rains now
I learned my lesson at the same time
Ooh, where did it
Go, back on 74 (when I noticed you)
Call this place my home
Never gonna cry anymore
Where did it all
Go, let it go
Let it go
Ooh, let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Ooh
(Guitar Solo)
Let's take em back to 74 inherently poor/pour
Myself on the (Break down)
Talk is secondary, first my speciality,
Naughty bars on a (Take down)
Rap/wrap like nicotine, sound so addicting,
Click click Zippo flick, caddy daddy hit the green
Soak up dopamine, I mean dope scheme
Take more head than the blade of a guillotine, uh
Filipina - you shoulda seen her
She likes girls but I turned Tina
Angelina wanna raid her tomb
Ocarina with the Zelda moves
Sound so smooth, wax strip groove
Don't stay still when I make that move
Thought for food, colour scheme nude
Massive like jungle, shy but rude
And the world is yours,
That's a Nas shout out with an awkward…pause
Cos the world is flawed
when the power makes money and the money makes wars
And the world is more than a place in space on a spinning ball
But for now that's all, back to 1974
Go, back on 74
Call this place my home
Never gonna cry anymore
Where did it all go
Ooooh ooooh
Ooooh ooooh
{MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE}
Just a lonely day, an island lost at sea, oh
Another castaway, nobody here but me, oh
More loneliness than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair, oh

Sending out an SOS
(Let it go)
Sending out an SOS
(Let it go)
Sending out an SOS
(Let it go)
Sending out an SOS

Wow. First time I've seen an Oregon Trail design shirt. Gotta get one for nostalgia.
Haha I noticed the Oregon Trail shirt right away, I recently found an emulator online & would play the OG keyboard-control version of it at work, using my co-workers names as my crew. Every so often I’d announce who had just died from Dysentery 😂😂
& Shout out to Zelda! I might still have my N64 & blow the dust off the Ocarina of Time cartridge every now & again…
This was brilliant! Check out Ren's song Fire - it is older but definitely has rock vibes. 💜💜
Great take fellas, YOU missed the Message switch with the riff at the start of the second verse... Sly Ren slipped that puppy in there.
Ren - All my life (FooFighters Rap)
Watch The Big Push doing What Kind of Woman Is This 😁

"Wax strip groove
Don't stay still

Naughty but that's Ren. He's no 😇😇😇😇😇
He only sounds like him.
Loved your reaction guys.
Another drop tomorrow...Nas retake!
Enjoyed this one!

Ren has an old original rock song called Fire you need to check out ❤
Rock? Fire…the song “Fire” great Ren song.

Nice reaction, thank you.
Its about a road.

❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤
Edit looking on point lads! One love from Scotland. 💙
nice editing obsura
Crutch might be close to metal!?
Yey, Editor-san!
Loved it!
Looks like a boot hill t shirt - blocky shooter game.
List to "Fire" on the Freckled angel album
This song is definitely influenced by Plan B! It's got similarities to She said! Ren often mentions Plan B as someone he looked upto.
Everything Jungle does is gold - do yourself a favour and watch their video of back on 74
❤❤
If you wanna see Ren singing rock music you just need to dive into The Big Push. Which will also have you diving into Romain and Gorran's solo work.
Grown men apparently
Listen to rens song "Fire". It's more of a rock song
You seen the American Dad episode on Oregon Trail?
I have not, I don't know about bill. I didn't watch to many American dad episodes but family guy is a different story.
@millennialxreactions at least give that episode a view, it's great. Love your stuff. Keep it solid.
@@allenabrams-dw4hy Will do! We appreciate you.
You cut out part of the already too short message??😢
ent been no good backup singers since Bob Marley and The Wailers
Pausing on every single transition, major or minor? Really?
It wouldn't be so bad if you actually rewound a few seconds after each of those many pauses, so that you didn't miss anything but you either didn't rewind, or rewound half a second.
