Respect this man. Mr. Ronald Jenkees is not your typical beat-maker. He’s even got a mild case of the crazies. Regardless of his weird mannerisms, there is no doubt that this dude has an unbelievable ear for the keyboard (think Polow da Don meets Capcom). Not only that, but he can make me question my tastes in music, which is admittedly hard to do. Where was this guy when everyone in the world was making Jay-Z Black Album remixes?

November 20, 2011 at 8:45 pmI’ve been listening to this guy for about 2 years now, what he does on a keyboard by himself is amazing. I love this new funky sound hes putting out. Keep it up Jenk man!!

October 26, 2011 at 1:16 amJenkees IS straight murder on the keys. Anyone know what hes up to now? His beat over the malcolm kelly freestyle is probably the nastiest tune known to man. That, and the brown note.

October 25, 2011 at 8:47 pmDefinitely PhotoShopped. Any fool can see that.
steve
October 16, 2011 at 6:04 pmObviously a large portion of you people have not idea what your talking about. Photoshop is a program used to create/edit STILL images, its even in the name- PHOTOshop, its phisically impossible to ‘photoshop a video’. altho you can edit videos with other programs, this one however is not. sorry to disappoint all the immature creeps, but this guy is just THAT talented.
FUCK Ronald Jenkees
July 24, 2011 at 9:21 pmTHIS GUY plays some WHACK ASS music… No wonder he’s cool with people ripping his shit off of the internet, the only way ppl would buy this shit is because the have gay nerd fap sessions to this corny shit. I can’t tell if this guys fucking retarded or just starved for attention, either way I HATE DUMB MOTHERFUCKERS LIKE THIS KID.. He needs to fuckin grow up and make some good music (if he’s actually got any REAL talent). People talking about how great this guys beats are and shit pisses me off even more because if you look at the work of any respectable, self taught DJ/Producer (and there are MANY) you’ll find how “okay” this guy is, many artists have much higher grades of “beats and melody” than this Jackoff.. QUIT SUCKING THIS GUYS DICK so fucking much and expand your musical knowledge. Fucking pussies. God, that made me feel much better about myself..

May 25, 2011 at 1:08 pmI just have to laugh at all the idiots ( including the ‘experts’ like Rafmata and so many others who commented here) who think this video is somehow photoshopped. I’ve been watching Ronald’s videos on Youtube for years including early ones from 4 years ago when he only had one keyboard. He is the real deal and is a brilliant musician and composer.

But trust me…. You don’t. I think you just want to make yourself sound smart, when in reality you don’t know what you are talking about. This is how bad info gets passed around. If you don’t know about the topic….Don’t make yourself sound like you do. Cos some people believe anything they hear.

March 16, 2011 at 4:30 amWhoever says that this video is photoshopped, are just full of shit, honestly this guy is using real musical talent to create a wonderful piece of art and all you assholes out there can think of is “This video is fake”. Maybe he was using a crappy camera, I don’t even care, that is not what the video is about. Even if it was photoshopped, which it most likely isn’t, the whole point of the video is about the music that Mr. Ronald Jenkees created.
Well done Ronald…
You see what I did right there? I just made the world a better place by complementing a complete stranger.

February 26, 2011 at 12:06 amNice. “Question your tastes in music.” I thought it was just me.
Amazing how this guy overcomes (or ignores) his idiosyncrasies and just wails. Watching him get into his music body and soul is a real honest-to-god treat.
Thanks for promoting him on your site. I just found him by accident one day and ended up listening for a couple of hours.
EPIC CHEESE FARTS
February 25, 2011 at 8:51 pmI clicked the play button and then went back to Facebook while I was waiting for it to play… And when it started, I was all, PHILLIP DEFRANCO!? WAIT, WHAT!? ZOMG THERE’S MORE TO THE SONG! =O
I’m rather stupid sometimes… This guy is awesome though. xD

trollslayer
February 24, 2011 at 7:08 amAnyone who has said that this is photoshopped, or whatever you want to explain it as is either a. Completely retarded or b. A fat, internet bound loser with no true skills or abilities to speak of, who watches far too much porn because they’ll never find someone who’d want to touch their FAT, SKANKY, INBRED ARSE! or ass for you Americans. The dude has nearly 70 clips on youtube, dating back to 2007. This video was uploaded to youtube in 2008, shooting down all your stupid “latest version of photo-wank” bullshit. And most of his videos are in this perspective… Give it up for talent people, and give up trollish haters, we all think you’re as a big a loser as you seem.

January 25, 2011 at 2:22 amya’ll are really dumb, you are so dumb, you can’t photoshop no video’s!
but in all honesty, you can’t….. you could try to remove the frames and ‘shop them one by one…. but its 30 (technically it’s 29.97) frames a second, you know how long that would take? there is a thing called After Effects made by Adobe, that does special effects and video cutting etc. please just appreciate real talent from a real person, it pisses me off when people make comments like that, as I know people as talented or more talented than this.
Props on the video though, it’s amazing, fantastic song, very talented =D

January 6, 2011 at 4:53 amHe’s got unrivaled technical skill, but his music isn’t very bold or expressive. It’s not even that catchy. It’s just complex, free of dissonance, and flawlessly executed.
Meh.
rafmata
December 26, 2010 at 6:33 pmhonestly, for you fools who don’t think its shopped.
I dont think you have seen the new version of photoshop, the one videos are included in, second of all his finger movements are clearly computer generated. as well as the notes. no mortal man ( without photoshop) can create such sound. i would also like to add that although photoshopping videos is in the ” early stages” this is a glimpse as to what is coming out way.
The way he talks in the beginning, sounds like someone else s voice….. good lip sync. this is so clearly shopped i don’t understand why its receiving so much attention….. talentless people should not be recognized for being cheats
good day, i hope baby Jesus cries
hes not crazy

Adam
December 21, 2010 at 1:15 amI see a lot of people in the comments saying that the music is bad, or that he can’t compose, or play well. If that’s the case, why does he have so many millions of dedicated fans, myself amongst them? “Good” and “Bad” are subjective. He’s obviously doing something right. And even if he wasn’t, he’s having a hell of a good time, and that’s all that really matters.
If you’re any better than he is, step up, make some videos, post them on youtube, and see how you fare. I’ll be surprised if you get a tenth of the fans Mr. Jenkees has.
:P

August 31, 2010 at 12:34 amok… first off photoshop is not used for videos cuz seriously that would be extremely tedious work… second there are programs that are clearly made for VIDEO EDITING!
I don’t know what some of you are seeing that is leading you to believe that this video is fake, but I don’t see it.. and i work with Photoshop, After Effects, Adobe Premiere, Sony Vegas… etc. maybe he did edit this video but you know what who gives a sh*t its still frikken TALENT, you might not like it nor think its the best thing in the world but Jesus Christ!
why does everyone suddenly think that they are Photoshop experts just because they have a frikken computer?
stop being ignorant and accept that people have talent.. if not then make your own “photoshopped” video and let me know how that goes…

Charlotte
July 14, 2010 at 5:40 pmWho says he’s crazy? He doesn’t look that crazy to me. Having a funny hat and making weird faces does not a crazy person make. If he’s crazy, then Lady Gag’s crazy, and no people, she really isn’t.
She just wears weird clothes. I’m sorry you are all so confused that you can be so easily deceived by appearances. “Crazy” isn’t just a word you should throw around though. For the people who really live with mental afflictions, well…let’s just say, this guy can get a job. They can’t.

May 10, 2010 at 11:55 amSo instead of sitting here talking shit about this due, how his drum beats are late, and his music is mediocre at best, i challenge all of you to write your own music, video yourself playing it, and release it on the internet to millions of fuckwads, all like yourselves. It’s assholes like you who make the world a difficult place to live in, and it’s people like Jenkees who work to inspire people to achieve. So instead of claiming to be a better musician that any one else you come across, prove it. If you are, you will get your dues. And if you don’t, there is an endless line of comment trolls ready to verbally sodomize you.

If you don’t enjoy this guys music, go find your favorite Taylor Hicks CDs and pump it up.

It'sMe!
October 29, 2009 at 12:56 pmAnd, yes, his playing skills are mediocore, but that’s why he’s making beats (or whatever, don’t get your panties in a bunch cuz I said the wrong thing) and not out there playing classical piano. And as yet another person on here that has played piano for 17 years, I can tell you what he’s doing compared to actually pianists is cake. BUT, he’s making his own beats whereas I’m playing someone elses masterpiece. That’s what sets him apart.
It'sMe!
October 29, 2009 at 12:46 pmI just wanted to say that I have a digital camera from 2005 that creates those pixels when I make a video. And yeah, this guy is a total dork, but I don’t see any of you showcasing your talents. It seems like the only talent most of these people have on here is attacking someone through the internet. Look, if you wanna make your point THAT badly, go to this guy’s house and tell him. I sure as hell don’t give a damn about your opinions and you make yourselves out to be spineless little bitches.
YahooSerious
October 29, 2009 at 12:15 pmactually…I really like the note this guy has at the end of the video. He’s cool. He gets it.
YahooSerious
October 29, 2009 at 11:53 amP.S. the top keyboard is a Triton LE. I think the bottom is just a straight Yamaha Motif 8 (1st gen).
And anyone giving props to his beat making skills is a dumbass. But I think the point is that this music isn’t about technical skill, its about vibe, feel, energy, how it makes us feel. Nothing the Beatles ever wrote was technically brilliant, but on this pop-music level they shine. That is the game this guy is in. So having said that, it all becomes relative to our own personal taste and all argument about whether he sucks or not becomes moot. He knows how to use a sequencer. When was the last time someone got praised for knowing how to use a word-processor?
YahooSerious
October 29, 2009 at 11:41 amwow…he sure knows how to improvise over a sequenced drum track. This would be impressive if he was 5.
HORUS
September 11, 2009 at 11:23 pmIt’s OK.. I can tell you from a classical pianist point of view, who is also a published soundtrack composer, that his skills are average, and nothing to get overwhelmed by
God
September 10, 2009 at 9:45 pmWow, you ridiculous people. I can’t believe you haven’t seen these videos on youtube already. To everyone who says, “oh it’s obviously shopped, OBVIOUSLY” try taking a closer look into what you’re watching before making accusations. Ronald Jenkees uses FL Studio to make the beats that play in the background. I have played piano for 12 years now and I tell you people, everything other than the beats, he’s playing. And it’s amazing, so show some respect. As for the persona thing. I’m sticking to the, “I don’t know” side of the argument, because none of us here, ON THE INTERNET, know him. I’ve met plenty of talented weirdos in my day. Basically, I read a deal of these comments on this site, and I had to comment on the all the bullshit ignorance that was clouding my screen.

August 22, 2009 at 2:24 amYou cant photoshop a video. if anything you would use adobe after effects. but in this case this dude is just to fuckin rad! great music and talent.
FUCKING OBVIOUS
August 21, 2009 at 3:52 pmand in case your all wondering, i DO KNOW what the ‘photoshop meme’ is, and my only argument is that its not clever, it doesn’t make you cool, its getting old and it WASN’T EVER FUNNY
FUCKING OBVIOUS
August 21, 2009 at 3:49 pm“slice of teh internets”
GROW UP, you useless illiterate fucktard, the day you can do anything more than slag people off better than this guy, i will EAT my fucking piano. Either you’re all just twats with nothing better to do, or you’re failed music critics, either prospect isn’t exactly great, so why don’t you just all FUCK OFF to whichever IQ 10 level of ‘teh internets’ you got dragged up from and go back to jerking off to your 4chan posts:
THAT WAY WE DON’T HAVE TO DEAL WITH YOU

August 18, 2009 at 3:22 pmPeople, when others make the comment “This is shopped” or anything similar to that, they are doing something that, if you can’t understand why they would say that, is called a JOKE. They know that you can’t shop a video, and the comment, “I’ve seen a lot of photoshopped pics in my day” just drives home that they are joking, so please, don’t get offended, or get defensive for the retard on the keyboard. (Whom is obviously a fucking idiot savant) They aren’t taking a stab at your little keyboard playing rainman, they are just enjoying their slice of teh internets.

August 4, 2009 at 3:46 pmJesus, have any of the commenters ever listened to a jazz or classical pianist before?! This guy couldn’t make it into music school with his “Throwing Fire” “composition”. Most musicians I know fart more musically than this guy. Listen to better music and you won’t be some easily impressed with pathetic attempts like this.

July 24, 2009 at 7:31 amphotoshopped!!?
You morons, that is the effect of the bright light source off camera (right).
Both keyboards on the stand react to the force of his playing by wobbling/ vibrating as he hits the keys, but appropriate to the force he uses.
You’re pathetic.
If you like conspiracy theories you are on the wrong site. Loosers

“Llama”
“asdfasf ”
“Trevor”
“Zaicolainen”
“PAT” (it’s spelled concur btw)
“me”
“Bob Thanis”
“Switch Theory”
“Frank”
“jade”
These are the names.
The virtual names.
The names of the people who have been trolled by the photoshop joke.
The joke which has popularized many a comment box across many a webpage.
The fail..nay epic fail of those sucked into the trap of such a troll..well..it is to be pitied.
The knowledge of this troll should be held within everyone, but alas ’tis not.
One can only wonder why such internet insolence can occur.
One can only facepalm in the face of these people’s falling for the long old joke.
A joke..a meme really..that will last for a long time to come and what will unfortunately last is also those who get angered at it..the utter failure just makes one cringe…..but I digress. Suffer, survive, I suppose…

May 30, 2009 at 7:47 pmI have been a musician for over 30 years, he is playing what you hear, no doubt. Second, shopped? Really? Give that a try dorks, see how far you get. Your lives are shopped. My guess is your hat is even more disturbing then this dude’s. Not that I care about his hat. He probably gets more girls then any of you ‘it’s shopped’ pussies. But as they say, ignorance is bliss, so I’m preaching to the the happiest people on the planet.

May 29, 2009 at 10:00 pmNot trying to be a dick, but the music in itself doesn’t sound that hard. Remember, he has the drums put in separately… but no matter what, it still sounds really good XD
Switch Theory
May 29, 2009 at 10:00 amIf this is photoshopped that would mean that he is both a genius at photoshop as well as a music transcribing expert. He would have to transcribe every note in the track and painstakingly manipulate each finger to hit the right keys at the exact right time( and believe me they are the right notes, I’ve been playing the keys for 25 years).
so…
he is a photoshop genius and musical transcription expert,
or
he is a talented keyboardist.
I choose the latter.

May 26, 2009 at 8:07 pmFantastic tune. I looked for the mp3 on his album, but it’s not there. Would like to use it as my ringtone.

May 24, 2009 at 4:04 pm“throwing fire”, eh? i suppos these synth beats really do belong in a video game. pretty awesome tune though. hes got a wicked ear for music!
Bob Thanis
May 18, 2009 at 4:13 pmthis guy is fuckin sweet! hell, even if it is photoshopped, it’s still a fun watch.
Seriously
May 17, 2009 at 2:19 amSounds like video game music…….??? Just like any art one must have a muse to create from. Who is to say that early video game music wasn’t the goal here? He is labeled as eccentric and he backs in up by playing eccentric music….open your minds. Music is more than your shitty top 40 and MTV. Perhaps its time to start listening to something other than lil wayne, or maybe pick up your own instrument and try to create something.

Huh?
May 13, 2009 at 8:13 amPerhaps I’m alone in my opinion here but I’m not all that impressed. It sounds like video game music for the SEGA master system. He brings a lot of things in late too.

:P:P
Here I Be
May 3, 2009 at 7:54 pm@P-Wolf, I think the gayness might have been shopped in as well. This is funny because I was just in the middle of writing a tutorial on Photoshopping videos and I can now save myself some time and just use this as my main example. The only really noticeable shopping is the hat, there’s no way someone could wear that hat, even indoors without it be shopped.
DJ STARR
May 3, 2009 at 4:51 pmFREAKIN SWEET!!!

May 2, 2009 at 11:22 pmMad respect. id love to jam with you sometime
PAT
May 2, 2009 at 7:56 pmYo that video was good, and for all you fuck tard who think your so awsome you can spot photoshop, while he is playing you can clearly SEE THE PIANO MOVING from the force he presses the keys with! so congratz on reaching a whole new level of retardism!!! so if anyoff you have some solid proof that this is photoshoped or how to photoshop a video of this kind, id be glad to see a link posted because your arguments are lacking. meaning one of two things, you are a prepubecent little boy who thinks hes the shit or your some 40 year old tool who has learned to give himself head while posting bullshit… you take your pick.
As for the video and everyone who thinks its awsome, i concer and keep it real.
Peace out, fucktards

May 2, 2009 at 1:59 pmOh man, thats what music is about. Just have fun and let the instrument do the talking. Props dude.
PS I love the hat, being called eccentric is a compliment in the highest form. It means your different, unique. Thank whoever it was who labeled you, because everyone knows that whoever it was is just jelous that you have your own look which your comfortable with and they are just one of the herd. Way to stand out man. Props again.

May 2, 2009 at 9:42 amWaw, this guys owns Jay-Z, Kanye West and Daft Punk on his own, using a keyboard and only two hands…

April 26, 2009 at 5:24 pmThese comments are photoshopped. I can tell by some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops at my time.
Trevor
April 26, 2009 at 5:07 pmFirst of all, you can not photoshop a video. And no graphics or video effects program that are available to consumers would be able to create something even remotely close to this. Programs like Shake, Maya, and Adobe After Effects are simply not powerful enough to do that.
This guy has talent! Get over it!
And so what if his name is really Benjamin Feltus. Welcome to the world of entertainment. People put on a show, and act for their audience. And even if he was Big Cheez before, who cares? He rebranded himself, and got popular.
Great video, I was blown away.

April 26, 2009 at 3:09 pmWhere can I get a hat like that?

April 26, 2009 at 9:41 amThanks for the comments everyone!
Also, as SNOPESFAN pointed out, Ronald Jenkies (like 99% of all artists) is a persona. The music itself is NOT fake.

April 26, 2009 at 12:35 amthis guy ripped all his music straight off the atari lynx, he can play alright but so can a lot of people, my opinions are better than anyone elses and the video is definitly photoshopped, no-one really wears that kind of orange.
