Eccentric Guy is Straight Murder on the Keyboard

Loading ...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?

they’ve invaded our comments

sure he’s got technical skill and and ear for music, but that doesn’t mean his stuff is good. i would only listen to it if it was in a video game.
Posted April 25, 2009 at 11:46 am
Why say it’s photoshopped? Can’t your brain understand that somebody can be this talented? Stop stealing his thunder!
Posted April 25, 2009 at 12:27 pm
Blew my frontal lobe
Posted April 25, 2009 at 1:44 pm
I totally agree. This is way ‘Shopped, you can see the pixels on the lower right at 2:21 and the shadow is all wrong. I’ve seen a lot of shops in my day.
Posted April 25, 2009 at 3:33 pm
I agree with ESVNSCR, I too have seen some shops in my days, but THIS is the cake!
Posted April 25, 2009 at 4:29 pm
photoshop trolls…ugh. go find something else to do, like hang out on 4chan where no one gives a damn if you’re a little bitch.
this video fucking rocks. extreme talent. i wish i had his skills.
Posted April 25, 2009 at 9:15 pm
toadally shoppen for sure
Posted April 25, 2009 at 9:30 pm
oh my god,
YOU CAN NOT PHOTOSHOP VIDEOS
fucking twats
Posted April 25, 2009 at 9:35 pm
search “ryan leslie making addiction” and you’ll see that it isn’t just this person with amazing talent.
Posted April 26, 2009 at 12:35 am
this 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.
Posted April 26, 2009 at 1:21 am
HE’S A FAKE!

Posted April 26, 2009 at 9:41 am
Thanks 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.
Posted April 26, 2009 at 3:09 pm
Where can I get a hat like that?
Posted April 26, 2009 at 5:07 pm
First 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.
Posted April 26, 2009 at 5:24 pm
These comments are photoshopped. I can tell by some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops at my time.
Posted April 27, 2009 at 4:41 pm
I realy cant understand people say photoshopped at a VIDEO!
Posted April 27, 2009 at 5:48 pm
so what. what he’s playing sucks ass
Posted April 28, 2009 at 1:56 am
i applaud everyone who truly sees this is shopped. you are truly higher beings. its not going unnoticed
sincerely,
frustrated educated
Posted April 28, 2009 at 3:14 am
“oh my god,

Posted April 28, 2009 at 6:43 am
Yep, he’s very talented but his chacracter is made up. so.. just a regular guy who kicks ass at organ.

Posted April 28, 2009 at 2:57 pm
No doubt this guys has some talent.
But there is no way in hell that this guy is cool. That hat hes wearing he looks like a fucking tool
Posted April 28, 2009 at 5:54 pm
AWESOME!
Posted April 29, 2009 at 2:37 am
Wow, this is really groovy.
Posted April 29, 2009 at 11:48 pm
yo is it possible to appreciate talent and not be a judgemental bitch based on what they wear? sure he wont be the flyest dude at the club but id sure as hell buy him a drink
Posted April 30, 2009 at 4:08 pm
i really like potato salad
Posted May 1, 2009 at 4:33 am
Amazing what you can do with photoshop nowadays. I didn’t realise for a while but after some careful examination, i’m 100% sure that this IS photoshopped!
Posted May 1, 2009 at 12:57 pm
Pixels big as radishes.
Posted May 2, 2009 at 1:58 am
Flocken awsome!
Posted May 2, 2009 at 9:42 am
Waw, this guys owns Jay-Z, Kanye West and Daft Punk on his own, using a keyboard and only two hands…
Insanely nice work my man, keep it up and we’ll see your name on an albul very soon I think
Posted May 2, 2009 at 1:59 pm
Oh 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.
Posted May 2, 2009 at 4:34 pm
Oh my god that is craaaazyyyy
Ahaha this guys a beast!
Posted May 2, 2009 at 7:56 pm
Yo 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
Posted May 2, 2009 at 11:22 pm
Mad respect. id love to jam with you sometime
Posted May 3, 2009 at 12:56 am
obviously shoped, but thats beside the point, this song is quite gay and tasteless, especially that big gay trance stab thing going on in the background
Posted May 3, 2009 at 4:25 pm
its not shopped. dont be such dickheads.
Posted May 3, 2009 at 4:51 pm
FREAKIN SWEET!!!
Posted 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.
Posted May 4, 2009 at 1:42 pm
The video is awsome, but I think the music in it is photoshopped :P:P:P
Posted May 4, 2009 at 5:10 pm
The keyboards are A Yamaha Motif XS8 (on the bottom and which i personaly own. EPIC keyboard) and i believe the keyboard on top is a Korg triton. not exactly sure which version of it though. this guy is epic. and i only wish i could play improv like him
Posted May 5, 2009 at 1:33 am
sweet nastiness
Posted May 5, 2009 at 8:40 am

Posted May 9, 2009 at 10:00 am
Yeah it is shopped.. The pixels are all wrong, i can tell because ive seen a lot of shops in my day.
Posted May 10, 2009 at 12:58 pm
Not that hard. His drum beat is mediocre at best.
Posted May 12, 2009 at 6:29 pm
I think this is what heaven sounds like
Posted May 13, 2009 at 8:13 am
Perhaps 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.
Posted May 14, 2009 at 7:14 pm
ILL KEEP THIS SHORT BUT THIS GUY GOT HIS FIRST BREAK WHEN ESPN ASKED HIM TO MAKE A SONG FOR ONE OF THEIR SHOWS. SO AS FAR AS THE FAKE COMMENTS GO THAT TOTAL B.S.
Posted May 17, 2009 at 2:19 am
Sounds 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 it 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.

this guy is fuckin sweet! hell, even if it is photoshopped, it’s still a fun watch.
Posted 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!
Posted May 26, 2009 at 8:07 pm
Fantastic tune. I looked for the mp3 on his album, but it’s not there. Would like to use it as my ringtone.
Posted May 29, 2009 at 10:00 am
If 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.
Posted May 29, 2009 at 10:00 pm
Not 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
Posted May 30, 2009 at 7:47 pm
I 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.
Posted May 31, 2009 at 11:28 pm

Wow, oh wow wowie wowzerz. Ra-ta-tat move over.
Posted June 13, 2009 at 4:30 pm
holy molly this guy is cool and is the greatest at the keyboard and PHOTO SHOP MEAN PPHHOOTTOO shot not video you craps
Posted June 23, 2009 at 3:02 pm
BUY HIS CD. and look up “Stay Crunchy”. thats his best song.
and his 56k rap
Posted June 26, 2009 at 9:55 pm
“Janine”
“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…
