I'd say this is the best representation of current racism. The point of the video was not to side with the black man or the white man but rather to accept that both sides aren't completely wrong, yet the emotion and tension between them can create biased beliefs and twisted truths, which is the sole cause of all this conflict. This is the raw stuff that really drives the message home, and you really have to think about it with an objective perspective. I'm glad these reactors understood the importance of the video setting these two sides face to face and spill all their problems to each other. Almost all other reactions ended up immediately blocking off and denying the white man's verses within the first line and rooting for the other. That is, for lack of better explanation, precisely what continues to fuel this conflict.
Very well put. I noticed that about some reactions too where they completely shut down the white guy, allowing the whole message of the song to fly over their head.
I didn't know he is... I guess he must have had a bit of inner conflicts from time to time. It looks more like a self-meditation if you think of it like that, but expressed outwards has a social impact. Even more amazing than it already was!
Thank you for this reaction. I am really sorry, you seemed so uncomfortable while the white guy was rapping, you smiled the first time when the black guy was rapping. As a black person, i see some real truths in both their raps, it was an aggressive, unapologetic, deep rap. Thanks for your reaction =)
Same. I’m black too. And I saw both truths and faults in both verses. It just sad that a lot of people missed it by automatically demeaning the white guy racist and wrong, and the black guy right and just. Just like white people as a people and black people as a people we are both right and wrong when it comes to this topic but most can’t see that for some reason.
This comment should be top comment, both the comment and first reply. I am thankful that there are still logical people out there not consumed by either side of the argument and seeing it through a clear lens.
THANK YOU HOLY SHIT I SEE SO MANY NIGGA'S JUST TAKING THE DUDES SIDE AND NOT LOOKING INTO THE MEANING!!! Its a real problem and we need more dudes like you out here seeing both sides.
@@bradenfish9272 Joyner Lucas himself said the white man is supposed to be wrong in this case, it's not two sides stating how they feel, it's a dumb argument, and a correct rebuttal
I'm a black guy living in the USA from the Caribbean. And I've experience racism from both countries. This song made me cry.. And tear up every other time. This is truth at its finest guys. Thank you for listening and understanding.
As someone who is open-minded and has seen this video many times, I'm glad to see that there are some reactors who see the truths and the stereotypes from both sides. Personally I think it's all a matter of perspective, experience, and empathy. If you have never been in a car while being a black citizen then you can't know what it's like, but you can at least show empathy by putting yourself in that person's shoes even though you haven't experienced it yourself. But that's exactly what we, as a nation, seem to be lacking; empathy. Majority of each side is not showing remorse for what the other is going through which makes it seem like they don't care because "it's not their problem". It sucks, but that's the world we live in. We can't rewrite it, all we can do is change. If not that, then adapt.
8:00 you guys are exactly right about the two extremes. Both perspectives are supposed to be those of the radicals in the US, as it started off middle and works its way to the extremist point of view on both sides. Great reaction :)
Or I mean, you could just go listen to the dude who actually wrote the song. If this fits the way you want to interpret the song, then go ahead. But it's pretty clear Joyner Lucas didn't have the same idea.
Or, you could stick to your own view of the song. Songwriters write songs for the listener to interpret. Now, the writer might have had his own take on it but it still leaves it open to interpretation for every listener. The writer is not the two people in the video or the lyrics: he is expressing two possible interpretations on what certain people might think from his point of view.That's the whole point of the song: different people will have different views on the same issues. But those issues will not get resolved when one focuses on proving how one view is right and the other is wrong. I like to think that the reason for releasing this song, was to show people an example of a novel way of resolving an issue: By listening without prejudice, judgment or ego. In the end, EVERYBODY wants to be heard and everybody should. So start listening and have the favor returned to you.
It's interesting to get more perspective from people outside the US on things like this. I think living in the US, we don't realize how crazy some of this stuff seems to you guys until we see the expressions come out. Racism is very alive here. I am white, but grew up in a poor neighborhood with black friends, and every single day I saw this sort of stuff. I've seen my black friends get pulled over for doing nothing, had cops ask me why I was hanging out with black kids because it was a bad influence on me. Just know that not all of us condone this sort of thing. When I see racism, I call it out, no matter who is using it, but we have an entire political party that has intertwined itself with religion and regional pride movements to entrench that kind of racism here. We are very much a divided country, and because many people have lost the ability to communicate and empathize with each other, those divides are getting worse. We don't have the answers to these problems. I wish that our leaders would look to other countries who have done better (such as the UK) and see what we can change to make the situation better. Maybe it's just going to take time. People forget that it's only been a couple hundred years since slavery was outlawed here. On the timeline of human history, those wounds are still fresh.
i think i figured it out. as far as i know american people make fun of asians because they feel they are “punching up”. people look at asians as being nerd geniuses with zero social skills. but asians look at it as “punching down.” shame. stop racism.
Unknown Boss No the guy is right mate. What both of them said was racist because it’s a generalisation of races, of course this isn’t the point of the vid although it helps push the point
Man I'm glad this is the video in which I found u guys...super powerful song and video and to see u chaps respecting the truth within the song is beautiful man...peace and love from across the pond my brothers
Man its amazing to see two metal heads have such a strong appreciation for good hip hop and to see them on there journey to understand hip hop is amazing.
I think you guys may be the first or second reaction to this song that had the same realization that I had - that both characters in this song have some valid, if misguided, points to make amidst the racist itrades, and that both characters show signs of racism towards the other. No one's 100% in the right on this topic, but in the US you're either completely right or completely wrong with some groups of people. Maybe being from the UK gives you an advantage with the outsiders' perspective. Not a lot of people in my country seem willing or able to handle the idea that a person can be right about some things while being generally wrong, and it makes having a real conversation about serious topics almost impossible.
I think this is correct but it’s also always going to be more distasteful when coming from a white person. The majority will never receive the same empathy the minorities get. And if we read just how bad blacks people were treated, it makes you believe that one side has done more objective damage then the other. There is no metric that would equate black racism to white racism in terms of impact on society, not on how rude it can be.
It’s impossible to have a conversation with white people who won’t even admit that racism and prejudice is a very large reason there is a socioeconomic gap between us. We can start a conversation with someone unwilling to admit reality first. White privileged is real. It’s just worded badly. Should be called black disadvantage instead to illustrate how it really works.
@@EastAfricanWarrior I definitely agree with you there on both points. A conversation is a two-way street, and if one side isn’t willing to even consider the other’s perspective, it’s just a frustrating waste of time. Also, you and I are of the EXACT same mind about ‘white privilege’ being more like ‘black disadvantage’. As for a white person's view on the issue being more distasteful, I get it, and I can live with it, but like I said, the conversation is a two-way street. My opinion may lack a black person's perspective and thus not have the same weight, but I don't think that makes it invalid or beneath consideration. It's tricky, because the situation has both a personal and a cultural element to it, and you can't disregard either; I'm both a white person and someone who's less racist than some other white people, so I'm both part of and not part of that group. I'm also some random shmuck on the internet, so who knows how valid any of this is. XD
It’s so interesting how they react to the lyrics as outrageous and extreme because they live in England. I live in a southern city in America that’s about 50% minority and 50% white and I feel like I in some ways engage in this exact language every day
Its sad but this is LITERALLY almost word for word what i hear on a daily basis living in the south (or anywhere really) in the usa. This song is real life.
just to point out at the end of the white guy line he said "its like we live in the same building but split into two floors" he still saying one race is above the other but at the end of the black guy line he said "its like we living in the same building but split in two both sides" he's saying we equal we just have to accept the part we play on each side
Really glad u touched on this song. Some people are scared of saying the things u said, especially when it comes to the white guys opinions. i agree that there are small truths in there, even though they dont concern all black people. You are gonna find black sheep in all races, no matter the skin colour. Nice reaction and you really seem to have a good understanding of the song.
I'm liking this channel so far. Its cool that one of you do the research and break it down first and the other is a true first time reaction. Keep it up guys
These guy never cease to amaze me, the reviews are always trying to go in depth on the topic, and real reactions are being expressed by Simon and John when they are listening to new songs. Keep it up guys and hope that open day I see you both climb in subscribers and views!!
Man, I'm envious of you lads' command of speech. I wouldn't be able to keep up such a quick rhymic discussion while using above-intermediate vocabulary like Salient.
I recommend 4 your eyes only by j cole Or dying of thirst by Kendrick Lamar They both show the struggles and influences of being black But if you want to go even deeper i suggest "u" by Kendrick Lamar (the music video is called god is a gangster) But if you want something more lit but still has meaning would say element by Kendrick lamar or neighborhoods by j cole
Gentlemen, this is the first video I've ever watched with you two in it. I have watched DOZENS of reactions to this video and BY FAR this is the greatest one I have seen! You guys take a neutral stance and dissect what the true meaning is behind the video! You even touched on how the points have little truths in them but still hold a bit of inaccuracy and I think that is key to understanding this song! I'm subscribing and cannot wait to dive into your other videos! Freaking fantastic guys! Not sure if you will even read this but thought I'd take the time to show my appreciation anyways haha
New subscriber, lifetime hip hop lover. I love watching you guys react to hip hop songs. Even when you don't understand certain concepts, sayings or references I love how you guys always ask to be informed, and admit you might just be wrong or don't get something. You've definitely made a fan of me. Keep it up guys.
You got to react to Immortal Technique - Dance with the devil. The story telling is insane I am a huge logic fan but the story telling is better than logic in my opinion. It’s a much older song but defidently worth the listen👍👍
Most Americans do not see the world this way. This song is vital to keep the topic on the tips of the tongues of people who run our country. both sides of our political system use race relations to push their platforms. Its sad and pathetic. as our older generations die off their ideals will fade.. i pray. I am proud to be living on a world with all of you. great reaction vid.

So glad you guys pause the video while reacting, i see SO many reactions that talk over videos and it just irks me because theyll miss something in seconds 😂 This definitely represents the narrative going on here in america perfectly. First time seeing your content, great series👏🏼
America is a very different place socially than the UK. Though not unlike England's relationship with Ireland. And Scotland? Maybe Scotland? Not sure, seems like it'd be a thing. Similar with race relations here in the States. One major difference being more domestic rather than international. Scale wise, but just as volatile. Sometimes less, sometimes more. It's crazy.
Please react to this true story he did u can also watch the video of the real persons story about it his name is the title. joyner lucas - Ross Capicchioni
Trust me, we don't hear this kind of stuff in America either, at least where I live, there are very few racist people and everyone is respectful of each other
As "racist" as this sounds, you white guys are some of the only reactors I've seen give an objective review of this and to find truth in both sides. Top notch stuff
Joyner missed the mark when it comes to the "Black man's" verse. He had a chance to properly address all the points that the white man brought by explaining the systemic reasons for the current condition of Black people in America but instead he fell back on the "tired" talking points that white people have been told countless times before.
I live in North Carolina. This was extremely interesting to see people react to this video that don’t live in the U.S. It gives you a sense of how the rest of the world perceives us. Keep it up guys.
Didn’t know Johnny sins was a RUclipsr too. I thought he was just a doctor, police, fireman, mechanic and a few more but damn didn’t know he was reacting to rap now🤦🏻♂️
Joyner lucas has three modes. Attack, fun and Deep His attack song give him respect but his deep songs make up most of his songs. I'm sorry is why him and logic are at each other's throats. He put out that song about suicide with his mixtape with a number and a year later logic came out with a song about suicide with a number then joyner went on attack mode.
I love songs that make you actually feel something and this song brings out so many emotions within me. Also, hearing the perspective of both sides is so interesting . I know it's just the surface in terms of what's being said but still.. I love this song. As a white female, I just love hearing the other side of the story
Incredibly powerful song...If we could talk openly and LISTEN openly, whichever side you are on no longer becomes a "side". It becomes something else, it becomes respect for our differences instead of hate.
Hi I live in Oklahoma. I am mother of two children 24 and 15. I am scared to death about what their future looks like. But I'm also very hopeful about others who think as I do. I will give out free hugs daily. This song makes me cry every time. Simply because it's raw emotion. The strongest stereotypes of each race being voiced with truth in both. What stands out to me most is how both sides wish for the same things a good life, providing for their family in a safe world. I was in military and that has been one place where different races, cultures, economic status we all got along. Stood with each other. Uplifting instead of downgrading each other. We we're family. I hope this song/ statement can get more to be willing to sit and really listen to another humans struggles, pain, hopes and dreams. In America it's a scary place. Bullying is out of bounds. The only thing that will save us is compassion and empathy. Strength in numbers who want this country to not only survive but thrive so we can have a better world to leave our children. Didn't mean to get on my soap box but this has always struck me directly in the heart. Humankind needs to be more kind to humans .period one race the human race.
I talked to Ralph Weah the handsome black guy!!! I talked to him on Instagram!!! Him & I are from the same hometown Boston Mass!!! America will never get on the same page and leave the racism in the past....we all bleed the same color and our hearts beat as one!!!!

Gentlemen, this is the first video I've ever watched with you two in it. I have watched DOZENS of reactions to this video and BY FAR this is the greatest one I have seen! You guys take a neutral stance and dissect what the true meaning is behind the video! You even touched on how the points have little truths in them but still hold a bit of inaccuracy and I think that is key to understanding this song! I'm subscribing and cannot wait to dive into your other videos! Freaking fantastic guys! Not sure if you will even read this but thought I'd take the time to show my appreciation anyways haha
I been watching watching these videos for the longest time and i just realized my dude on the left is simon from whatculture
New subscriber, lifetime hip hop lover. I love watching you guys react to hip hop songs. Even when you don't understand certain concepts, sayings or references I love how you guys always ask to be informed, and admit you might just be wrong or don't get something. You've definitely made a fan of me. Keep it up guys.
or since you guys are on the joyner lucas wave can you guys please do ross capichioni cause i'm sure you guys will love that story/song
The only reaction channel I've subbed to. You guys are dope
You got to react to Immortal Technique - Dance with the devil. The story telling is insane I am a huge logic fan but the story telling is better than logic in my opinion. It’s a much older song but defidently worth the listen👍👍
Dylan Hawley him and slick rick are probably the best story tellers in hip hop
Your reaction were very honest. My congrats, I liked it!
Most Americans do not see the world this way. This song is vital to keep the topic on the tips of the tongues of people who run our country. both sides of our political system use race relations to push their platforms. Its sad and pathetic. as our older generations die off their ideals will fade.. i pray. I am proud to be living on a world with all of you.
great reaction vid.
One of the better react videos ive seen. Keep it up!
Stereotyping is truth based, but the important thing is not to view everyone as the stereotype.
Great reaction. I love the pauses to hear your takes, I look forward to more!

MF Doom - Accordion
Joey Bada$$ - Survival Tactics
J. Cole - everybody dies
Kanye West - Through The Wire
Kay Verbruggen Agree with everyone. But I would also have put in Accordion by madvillain
Oh yeah, MF has many great song, I could make a seperate list with just him. I'll add Accordion cause it's one of his best songs.
Operation Doomsday "classic" album
The beat on Doomsday is ridiculous.
Tyler the Creator - Entirety of Flower Boy
Definitely survival tactics. Joey and STEEZ snapped
Always watching to hear the commentary you all put out towards a genre that differs and watch you all speak about it musically. Fan of you work 👋🏾
You guys are literally my favourite reaction channel🙌 You guys are gonna blow up soon🔥
So glad you guys pause the video while reacting, i see SO many reactions that talk over videos and it just irks me because theyll miss something in seconds 😂 This definitely represents the narrative going on here in america perfectly. First time seeing your content, great series👏🏼
America is a very different place socially than the UK. Though not unlike England's relationship with Ireland. And Scotland? Maybe Scotland? Not sure, seems like it'd be a thing. Similar with race relations here in the States. One major difference being more domestic rather than international. Scale wise, but just as volatile. Sometimes less, sometimes more. It's crazy.
I love how you guys handled the topic and reacted to this intelligently. 👏🏼👏🏼
React to Sing about Me in dying of thirst by kendrick Lamar
aidan quigley i highly recommend this
YESSSSSS
I think Ross cappichioni is his best
“I’m very glad I don’t know anyone that spouts off stuff like this”
Hmm so your holidays must be more enjoyable than mine 😂
I'm simon from what culture and here's why
*Slaps head*
Didn't expect Simon Miller to be a reactor. Awesome.
Please react to this true story he did u can also watch the video of the real persons story about it his name is the title.
joyner lucas - Ross Capicchioni
Agree completely
Aleister Crowley same.
The thumbnail being the background kept cracking me up.
Trust me, we don't hear this kind of stuff in America either, at least where I live, there are very few racist people and everyone is respectful of each other
Caleb Meyer not the point of the vid
Can i come live in your imagination. Because it must be nice where everything is rainbows and kittens!!!
Genuine reactions! Love the content Just earned a new subscriber
As "racist" as this sounds, you white guys are some of the only reactors I've seen give an objective review of this and to find truth in both sides. Top notch stuff
bruh i love you keys from nc
Joyner missed the mark when it comes to the "Black man's" verse. He had a chance to properly address all the points that the white man brought by explaining the systemic reasons for the current condition of Black people in America but instead he fell back on the "tired" talking points that white people have been told countless times before.
I loved the song but I agree strongly
That was the point. He wasn't speaking as himself. He was speaking as the head of those communities.
He was summarizing the common arguements from both sides. That was done intentionally. He didn't miss the mark, he hit it dead on.
Joyner took an opportunity to use the black guys verse as a voice, but instead used it to lay on more black stereotypes... Wtf why?
Absolutely
I like you guys subscribed!!!!!! Cant wait to see you make it big!
react to tupac changes
I live in North Carolina. This was extremely interesting to see people react to this video that don’t live in the U.S. It gives you a sense of how the rest of the world perceives us. Keep it up guys.
I too live in north Carolina.. I would so love to live in a world, as they said, that this isnt the way.. racism. #sucks #stupid #loveforall
React to "How much a dolla cost"
Didn’t know Johnny sins was a RUclipsr too. I thought he was just a doctor, police, fireman, mechanic and a few more but damn didn’t know he was reacting to rap now🤦🏻♂️
You listening to music I hear on the daily makes me want to expand my horizon as well
Keep up the great work guys! I’ll Keep watching
Joyner lucas has three modes. Attack, fun and Deep His attack song give him respect but his deep songs make up most of his songs. I'm sorry is why him and logic are at each other's throats. He put out that song about suicide with his mixtape with a number and a year later logic came out with a song about suicide with a number then joyner went on attack mode.
I love songs that make you actually feel something and this song brings out so many emotions within me. Also, hearing the perspective of both sides is so interesting . I know it's just the surface in terms of what's being said but still.. I love this song. As a white female, I just love hearing the other side of the story
I love these dudes. So open minded in trying to understand and not just in this video either. Awesome stuff 👌🏽
Incredibly powerful song...If we could talk openly and LISTEN openly, whichever side you are on no longer becomes a "side". It becomes something else, it becomes respect for our differences instead of hate.
Wtf Simon are you on every channel
speaking from a black female born and raised in the UK...racism is definately up there...just isnt recorded as much.
Love the videos. You guys should give my guy Mick Jenkins a listen. He’s not a huge rapper but he has a ton of skill. Try “Ps and Qs”
chubbychuckle p's and q's one of my favorite mick songs
Love this Channel keep it up🤗🤗
PLEASE REACT TO BROCKHAMPTON!
YES!
that would be amazing
if you guys do BROCKHAMPTON, do STAR, JUNKY, HEAT, or BLEACH!
Brockhampton the hottest shit atm
no homo
Love it when reactors pick sides, proving it fell on deaf ears.
I love how this is hitting them so late over there
Hi I live in Oklahoma. I am mother of two children 24 and 15. I am scared to death about what their future looks like. But I'm also very hopeful about others who think as I do. I will give out free hugs daily. This song makes me cry every time. Simply because it's raw emotion. The strongest stereotypes of each race being voiced with truth in both. What stands out to me most is how both sides wish for the same things a good life, providing for their family in a safe world. I was in military and that has been one place where different races, cultures, economic status we all got along. Stood with each other. Uplifting instead of downgrading each other. We we're family. I hope this song/ statement can get more to be willing to sit and really listen to another humans struggles, pain, hopes and dreams. In America it's a scary place. Bullying is out of bounds. The only thing that will save us is compassion and empathy. Strength in numbers who want this country to not only survive but thrive so we can have a better world to leave our children. Didn't mean to get on my soap box but this has always struck me directly in the heart. Humankind needs to be more kind to humans .period one race the human race.

I talked to Ralph Weah the handsome black guy!!! I talked to him on Instagram!!! Him & I are from the same hometown Boston Mass!!! America will never get on the same page and leave the racism in the past....we all bleed the same color and our hearts beat as one!!!!
