5 Years Without Filthy Frank (The Story Behind Joji)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 июн 2024
- "Filthy Frank" was an online personality created by George Miller, who would satirically (and brilliantly) create some of the most offensive and absurd pieces of content in the age of when RUclips allowed almost anything on the site. After several years of making videos, music, and even a full-fledged storyline/lore out of the "Filthy Frank Show," George decided to then suddenly stop and leave it all behind to his millions of fans and viewers at the time, to go and pursue his true passion in making serious/passionate music, under the name "Joji." After leaving the Frank character behind, many things took place in George's life and career as Joji, and the same could be said about the ripple effect that his former content has had on the RUclips platform. This is the story of what that man, George Miller, was able to create as Filthy Frank for the time that he was active, and then also what Joji has gone on to become.

If you can't love him at his filthiest, you don't deserve him at his jojiest
Well said man well said
I don’t like him as his Jojiest
Ahh we born in right generation
@@No_Relation_666 well, shame on you
@@benfreshmen102 why? do i have to like everything an artist makes?
The internet truly changed during early to mid 2017 when Frank left, it’s as if a piece of RUclips and internet culture left with him
@society me too brother...me too.
Yeah it was really quick change aswell. All the signs were there before but the sudden switch seemed almost instant
ya it became more authoritarian
Nah it changed in early 2019 imo
Theres still some residual filth floating around we just appreciate it more now like a fine wine many wont get to try
The landscape will never be the same. It's weird to think that it's already been half a decade since he stopped making videos.
He’s nearly been gone the same amount of time he was here
oh fuck im old

@@josharo fel d
He make's music videos
On one hand you have a brilliant musician who is capable of getting into hearts of so many with his immaculate voice and on the other hand you have a guy who baked a cake out of vomit. I don't know what is more impressive.
both are, in their own right.
Filthy is better tbh
Vomit Cake, easily, although Joji is a great dude his music isn't my thing, I'm not a 14 Year old Depressed girl.
@@CerealExperimentsMizuki deeper than that though, joji is his next stage of life and pink guy;filthy frank was when he was most likely just experimenting with different approaches to humor and his personas it was legendary but now we are onto the next chapter!!! and pink guys first 2 songs on soundcloud i think they were very good, but jojis music is his true self and you should see him through
@@CerealExperimentsMizuki Your gay font username says otherwise
5 years… I don’t believe it, I was shocked when I checked his channel to see that it actually had been 5 years, I remember always waiting for the next video, absolute legend
imagine he ends up uploading a video 💀

Yeah I feel the same, wtf man.
I miss when Ian, George, Max, and Chad all made videos together. Golden age of youtube man
Max and Chad are still slaying it, Ian has his controversies but his boxing match was pretty cool. I think Ian and the boys were going to do a colab right before covid happened but the restrictions stopped it.
@@t3hgraemek oh believe me ik i still watch all of them i love cold ones and every time ian uploads.
@@t3hgraemek Nah, Ian is still a mega cuck. Not just because of his gf doing only fans, but he's just lame now. Sam Hyde revealed just how cucked Ian had become. Ian and H3H3 are basically the same in my eyes. "Edgy" creators who only pretended to be that way to make money and then did a 360 in order to try and get accepted by the mainstream.
Dont forget our boy HowtoBasic
@@tubbykids00 my god you’re right. i forgot about that man.
Frank left his persona behind due to health issues, but he'll always be apart of the internet history and just think how lucky we are to be here to witness it. Honestly, he's lucky or real smart to have left when he did.
Health is only a part of it, mainly he wasn't enjoying it anymore and he was too honest to keep doing it anyway
@@reezlaw if I remember correctly his fans just always wanted content and his health could not keep up with the stressful demands I believe he suffered from a seizure, and even talked about how him making fun of that disability is kinda ironic now that he has suffered from a similar illness was an interesting time when Frank almost showed us the real him back then
@@mojojoji5493 when you make videos like deadly twister, even us viewers want him to take a break or too
@@nobodywatchesnooby but at the time majority wanted him to make more and more
Watched his first video when I was 14, "Salamander man's punishment", was never the same after that, neither was my kind of humor. When this man left, my life went on a downward spiral, not because of that specific reason, but it did mark the end of an era, it felt like losing a relative. Frank's videos got me through so much shit back in the day.
Based
Bruh i remember watching Frank back in Jr.high I was going into grade 11 when his last video came out
Man, y'all mfs are bunch of kids
Me too ffs, was so depressed in high school. Could always see the light again thanks to george
@@The_Blue_Otaku I was 13 when he started uploading and well out of high school and still watched him then. transcended ages tbh
He's such a genius, dude. _Frances Of The Filth_ novel is an absolute mindfuck. In a great way. Like people don't realize the man WROTE AN ENTIRE BOOK. EXPLAINING THE LORE. But I stg its so much more than just a 'fictionalized characters".. but it either way, it goes over SO MUCH shit, with things most couldn't put into words.. yet he did. Does.
It's so insanely well written as well, like he could become a #1 bestselling author if he wanted
@@irium_pls I concur. Not many people have read it (unfortunately), so I'm glad you personally see what I mean.
And yeah like, you're so right; the writing is beautiful. It's not easy writing a book, let alone your first one having been written so professionally. It's so captivating and it really is one of those rare finds where you can easily find yourself re-reading it over, and over again.
Where can you read it?
Was waiting for someone to say this, the book is genuinely so well written and funny and interesting that it completely makes you forget George wrote it. It’s sad not many have read it but it’s a memory to be experienced
@@stellarr1 it's my favorite item I own, and the best gift ive ever received.
tbh it's helped me through a lot of weird shit I've experienced. 10/10 worth reading.
Joji is the uncancelable celeb. Mostly because of his RUclips past. I have a theory that if joji stayed on RUclips he would not be happy and not be alive. I'm very happy that he makes all the songs that he makes
I constantly am worrying on his alive-ness. Like to this day. Idk why considering I've never met him, but the impact hes had on me.. ooof, I'd fucking lose my soul if he ever went away dude. I could cry just thinking about it, haha.
I'm happy he stopped. I think if he kept going, he'd become his own enemy. He would be unhappy and forced to change his content in order to become a giant billboard for ads on youtube..look at h3h3 and idubbbz

@The Messenger fuck jesus
I miss Filthy Frank. I am happy for Joji but I really miss his raunchy, offensive comedy. It was an awesome work of satire and I don't know if anybody is going to be able to really pull something like that off again.
@The Messenger No
or people nowdays to have guts and to not get offended pretty easy by this kind of content
I heard Slow Dancing In the Dark on yt randomly, and became interested in the artist. Loved the vibes and particular touch in his music. Well... I landed in Filthy Frank and Pink Guy memes. The typical late teenage boy making movies with a camera in his bedroom screams nostalgia to me (simpler times, not the shit we're dealing with nowadays...) Every time I watch his video, the comment section is 8 years old. This is fucking sad. Tbh I don't have the stomach to watch the hair cakes videos but they are the only ones to be left to watch after my binge-watching marathon of his show. I was like falling low-key in love with the guy, he's a smart ass, funny and most importantly knows how to make people think using absurdity and dark humour. Some parodies are painful to watch, I mean seeing the amount of crap he had to clean afterwards or do while filming... even looking at the shithole he was living in all these years; but hey that's George. And after seeing where he comes from, -that's weird to say I admit - I like him even more. NYEESSSSSS
I doubt anybody can ever mimic his brilliance nowadays. People nowadays don't understand satire and actively look for things to be offended by so they can justify harassing people while advertising their political views and pretending like they speak for everybody. In a time like this, anybody playing the Filthy Frank role would probably get harassment campaigns knocking at their door and will have their house broken into with people applauding the home invaders. We live in the worst timeline.
@@yannoyannonono443 that's very true, unfortunately even snowflakes comment on his old videos not understanding the subtlility of it all smh
I feel like he's still the same George. He just wanted people to take him more serious, which happened. Anything he sets his mind to, he can accomplish. And if that's not inspiring as fuck, idk what is.
4 albums, a 5th coming next month. Like, he JUST posted 2 music videos in 3 months. My man WORKS.
Super duper proud of him. ♡
Not to mention, dude wrote an ENTIRE BOOK. Which I could go onnnnnnnnn about, but yeah. Captains got talent.
He vary much is when i went to 88rising concert in 2018 of October he came out in his spin top cap and had vary similar body movements as his characters and he was joking too so he's vary much the same just doesn't go all the way into character
Obviously he draws plenty of distance from his previous work and sure he might make a nudge towards it every now and again through his new work. But what if he just developed and grew as a person and chased after his new endeavors as an artist. Filthy frank was never meant to be his bread and butter it was only a way to get his foot in the door as planned many years ago. I believe he would have never taken the characters as far as he did if it wasn't for the fear of what would become of his life after transitioning to new mediums as well as the inescapable high one feels when engulfing themselves in the ego of the shadow self.
Wait so Filthy Frank only existed for 6 years total? Holy fuck. So almost the same length of time that he's existed for has already passed since when he quit. That's mind-blowing.
Generational even.
Underrated name
@@onehotcrocc.3268 Cheers mate I appreciate it ay
I’ve yet to find an irl Joji fan that knows his past. It’s weird, knowing how many of us have “known” George for so long and now these newbies act like they’re diehard fans but don’t even know his past.
Papa Franku has changed the internet, has changed many of our lives, and took a huge piece of the internet & ourselves when he left us.
Joji is indeed a great musician, and he is once again touching our hearts and minds with his creations.
Long live Papa Franku, long live Joji, long live George Miller
5 years is crazy. I literally remember both the day when he uploaded his last video and the day when he put out the statement that he is retiring from RUclips.
@The Messenger no
I remember when I first stumbled upon his first channel, he had like
Only you know the secret... they must not know!
Honestly, I'm just a fan of George Miller as an individual. Whether he's Filthy Frank, Pink Guy, Green Echo, or Joji. I've always held him in a high regard because I can always tell that he puts 110% of himself into everything he does.

💯
Do you guys think George still has the Pink Guy costume in his closet, and every so often he hears it call to him like the Green Goblin does to Norman in the first Spider-Man?
Seeing the reactions of his old RUclips pals is really honestly depressing. You can tell by the way they talk about him that they must not spend much time at all directly talking to him let alone spending any time with him. They must be proud beyond description that their homie broke out and made it big. However you really can almost feel how much it hurts them that they no longer get to produce content with him.
i don’t think it’s not just that they don’t get to produce content together, but i that they miss not being able to just hang out and shoot the shit with someone who they once called their best friend.
@@jmanitowabi yeah exactly.
I discovered Frank only after he retired. It's kind of the feeling you get when you discover a band and they really speak to you only to discover they already dissolved. RIP PapaFranku.
Or like the band Her’s
By the time I’d discovered them in 2021, they’d literally passed away a few years earlier in a car crash in 2019
@@bettercallnadiya Oof. That's like fumbling a football and having it driven into your own Homezone. (If that's the correct terminology, I'm from Europe so my knowledge of limited) It's a finality that you can't shake. Sorry for your loss of what you never had. Take comfort in, cheers and see the bands that you're able to see.
@@LordMegatherium I wouldn’t know either I’m from both Europe and Africa so I know absolutely nothing about American Football haha..I mean I think that’s the sport you’re referring to? 🤣
And yes, it was absolutely awful
I feel they’re forever trapped in a time I didn’t know them. Their music was already beautiful but there’s something so melancholic about listening to them knowing what I know, especially.
Honestly, the very end when it looked like George was doing an interview, and a lone fan just said "Frank!".
I think it's plain to see that he fondly remembers his time as Francis of the Filth, if that damn instant smile on his face is anything to go on. Glad you made it George, maybe someday the frank persona will come back.
filthy frank ending and joji starting his serious music career was the bes thing to ever happen. i loved watching filthy frank videos as much as the next guy but i just know by now i completely would've grown out of them if he still made those. instead, i can enjoy joji's music which i grew into at the same time he started. it's like i've grown up with him.
I don't think ending the FF shit is the problem with most folks. It's how he did it. How he doesn't even acknowledge that FF is the reason he's successful in the first place.
@@drcidd8153 IMO he doesn't have to. His music and his youtube career exist completely separated now. And most importantly, Joji is a really private person. He barely does interviews; he's not on social media. He wants his music to be the only relevant thing about him and speak for itself; that much is clear. In the past couple of years, he almost completely separated himself as a person from his art because he doesn't sell himself as a personality, so his past also doesn't matter to his career. And we gotta respect that. I respect that, and more than that, I think that makes him a valuable musician because he doesn't rest on any image but fosters a fanbase that is there for the one thing that matters here: his music only.
@@MaybeCanNotBe Except it's debatable whether or not he would even have a music career at all if it weren't for filthy frank. The majority of "Joji's" fans are people who already knew FF.
@@drcidd8153 there's a ton of ppl who listen to his music and never knew about his youtube, alone in my friend group there're 3 people like that. and saying this is as if you think he couldn't have the same success if he wasn't on youtube before. but you can't know that. maybe he might not have found success as fast but in the end it doesn't change that he doesn't have to address anything he doesn't want to be associated with his music. plus, he did speak on his yt career early on in interviews when he started making music as joji, he just stopped. he doesn't need to continue doing so.
@@MaybeCanNotBe and I'm sure those 3 people in your friend group heard about joji from you. Because I literally don't know anyone that listens to joji's music who wasn't a ff fan. Or introduced to him by a ff fan.
Its funny, thought by now after leaving school and now in my mid 20s, I still enjoy filthyfranks old videos
Thank god I’m not the only one 😂
It's a shame videos kept getting deleted by youtube.
@@WingMaster562 thank God those video are achieved
Yeah they'll always hold a nostalgic place in my heart, reminds me of chilling with my friends in high school watching them after school
Dude when the guy yelled frank, frank activated in Joji. He didn't just hear it, he suddenly became frank for a second.
Joji has been such a big part of my life, and I'm already nostalgic. From pre-teen years watching his videos to try to get out of depression, to my teens listening to his self-made music at parties and hangouts, and when I couldn't sleep. Crazy an impact this guy had.
Pink Guy raps were so fucking fire. His lyricism and flow is amazing, and you can already see his has the capacity to touch on more serious subject matter with songs like McDonalds. When he went mainstream I was so excited to hear more rap from him but super disappointed that he seems to have abandoned rap entirely 😢
yeah he has mentioned that making rap kinda makes him feel like a white asshole (paraphrasing) on at least two ocassions i can think of. he just doesnt feel comfortable doing it anymore but they were fun while they lasted
Just listened to his song slow dancing in the dark. Holy fuck. Yeah I can see why he left the filthy Frank stuff behind. He's really talented.
He made Frank to promote his music
@@stonalisa3729 yeahh he was already talented musically
Im proud George on that day decide to do what he is afraid to do in ages. He's passion is on the music but his gag ideas were so well received by people and afraid the people won't embrace his music
@The Messenger No.
Man made me laugh as an teenager and now he makes me cry as an adult
I heard joji in the radio. I almost cried. We made it.
it genuinely shocks me that people don’t know that joji was filthy frank like That’s how i got into Jojis music was through his pink guy albums and wanted to hear if he had any “normal” music
You know, Filthyfrank honestly was an inspiration to me back when I was like 17, Ironically enough. Him not being afraid to just be wild and do what he wanted to do help craft me into the man I am to day and it hurted me a bit when he left..
I’ve been rewatching a bunch of Frank videos and love Joji’s new music. Miss the channel but enjoy the music. Glad he’s doing great
Man I started watching Filthy Frank in middle school. George was apart of my childhood. I was one of the luck ones who started watching him on his original channel. This was such a bittersweet trip down memory lane. The fact that it’s been 5 years is kinda heartbreaking. Even though it’s sad I’ve got nothing but respect for Joji and what he’s accomplished post Frank. He deserves his success
I will definitely get emotional if that cold ones with George and idubbz ever come out
To be fair its worth the end when were all still enjoying the things he create.
We should appreciate him big time for risking himself for years just to entertain us. Lets all just be happy that franku happened. Honestly if FF is still up to this day it’d end up pretty badly.
Long live filthy frank 🙏

I'm just glad our boy went on to bigger and greater things, we all miss frank but he needed what was best for him and I'm glad it was successful
Imagine this whole time Joji's music is actually secretly a continuation of the tvfilthyfrank lore, just from a different characters perspective (Joji's) or that final video was just Frank's transformation into Joji.
So weird to think there’s kids in jr high discovering Joji for his music, and having no idea what filthy Frank was
RUclips is cancer now... He did the right thing
2016 RUclips was seriously PEAK RUclips content overall. People was saying ANYTHING back then which was honestly crazy but I feel like content was just WAYY funnier at that time
I hard agree. After 2017, it’s been so dry
George has become something big, its kinda sad seeing his friends sorta left behind
It's crazy to think this was ten years in the making, and many people including myself were there to see him get to this point. A man to look up to for sure.
I love everytime I see one of these Joji / Frank doumentary videos. They make my day because I am obsessed with Joji. Amazing video keep it up!
great recap, great video.
The wild west era of internet left with him.
Well, it kinda left late 2000’s but still
Hi , I just discovered Joji for the first time just 3 days ago! I’m 52 yrs old and saw a RUclips video of glimpse of you performed on the streets and led me to look up the artist and fell in love with the song Slow Dancing in the dark! So far I like just those 2 songs, searching up his most popular songs. Beautiful sad songs love it❤
fried rice is good
Very in-depth video. Good job.
This was a very good overview of FF. Probably the best I have seen. Thank you.
I knew he was going to make real music as soon as I heard the Chloe Burbank tracks. They were sooo good! It broke my heart when he canceled the album. I wish George could have managed his personal life and the frank stuff better, I liked his vlogs and his "real" music and knowing that he was drinking heavily to do the Frank stuff kind of made me want him to get away from it. I'm glad his career went the way it did. I liked the Frank stuff I had been watching it since I was a teen, but eventually I just hit my 20s and started having adult aches and pains, and well I just kept listening to those Chloe Burbank tracks and the pinkguy mixtapes and later the Joji Ep and his albums. Feels good to know he's out there living his best life.
I'm not watching to learn about FF/Joji, I'm watching because I was there and I'm reminiscing and reliving this shared past we have, as viewers, as FF enjoyers. Great video!
Great work! Really interesting and insightful!
I like telling kids who're into Joji (I'm not) who've never heard of Frank, I like to tell them about his previous exploits. Such as baking a cake made of vomit, or a cake made from human hair... Ahhh, good times. Good times..
I'm glad he changed directions and started making music. He's really talented. I listened to the songs you brought in the video and they're really good and creative
I absolutely love how detailed you made your video, explaining every little detail! Very well summarized! ❤
This video was absolutely fantastic, thank you!
George definitely made a huge impact in the RUclips/meme community, but he wouldn't have lasted because of edgy humor being outlawed. The 2018 suicide forest controversy with Logan Paul being the peak of this change in times. I think overall, George is at his best when he's Joji. Sure, the Filthy Frank era was great in its own way, but George's work as Joji feels more generational and personal.
you can also really tell in a lot of George's 2016-17 content that he really just wanted to do Joji stuff instead of Pink guy/Frank
Joji looked miserable without filthy frank. Send pink guy to cheer him up.
Thank you for posting all this info! I’m a new Joji fan! Only heard a few of his songs recently and watched a few of his funny vids 3 days ago. I suffer also from occipital neuralgia pain mostly triggered by stress. Makes me now an even bigger fan of Joji. ❤
ty for this vid
Truly one of the greatest moment of human evolution
I know it will probably never happen and I'm glad that he moved on with his life but being able to see george come back as one last fuck you to youtube would be so cool
This was the closure I needed. I was low-key heartbroken after he releases his final video, knowing nothing was ever coming after that. I listen to pink guy on Spotify almost every day. Dude was a real one and I appreciate the laughs he stole from me on my worst days to turn them around and make them worth appreciating.
Thank you much for this comprehensive breakdown of the man's life and career.
i wish he'd make a comeback on an uncensored platform or whatever so he can go all out
in most scenarios on youtube, its "The viewers grew up" but in this case its " Joji grew up"
@The Messenger id rather believe in Buddhism and get reincarnated to another world than to believe in your awful cult
I miss Frank but I'm genuinely happy for Joji, he deserve to be successful
Fantastic vid
Amazing video man 👏
I think what's interesting is how i remember seeing someone talk about how when an artist dies they become legendary. I feel like George was able to encapsulate that same energy within the FilthyFrankTV by basically killing the character off but still lives within Joji which just creates more depth as an artist. I hope i said that right LMAO
I miss him everyday.
This legend went from making videos that went straight into my playlists I watched when I want a laugh, to my playlists I watch when I need to cry. I miss Frank, but I'm glad Joji is happy.
Quality video. Thank you!
Max crying while listening to Glimpse of Us hits me everytime... It's wholesome and sad 😞 it's one of the very few things I wish Joji didn't change, friendship and memories. The bunch still respect him and like him but it seems he doesn't at all ☹️
He's completely shed everything that had to do with his past, and it aches me tbh
I do love Joji when he was Frank, and I recently found Joji's music and I can honestly say, he's talented as all hell HIS MUSIC IS FIRE 🔥
I'd love to see Joji on Cold Ones with Ian as well
It’s hard for me to think of someone who I’ve looked up to as much as Joji. He’s such a big part of my life without knowing, and I am in love with every piece of work he has ever put out, from his Filthy Frank days to his transition to full time musician. I still remember how captured I was listening to Will He when it was released, and his announcement about leaving RUclips came shortly after and I was 100% on board. He went from being my favorite RUclipsr to favorite musician and I hope he continues to follow his passion!
New viewer and I'm excited to watch your other stuff, good commentary
He's got more than 30M monthly listener on Spotify now. Really crazy. Like you wouldn't expect the most successful edgiest channel would become the most successful RUclipsr-turned-singer/musician to date. As filthy as FF could get, really amazing how much he's loved and missed.
I will always be sad that Filthy Frank is gone, but I will always be happy that Joji succeeded.
Seeing his old friends reeling without George is sad. It sucks to let friends go do their thing while you're left behind, especially when you're not necessarily on the same successful trajectory as them, but your love for them as a friend will always stick with you and you wish them the best. I'm super happy for George though, he is a brilliant, beautiful mind and has a special talent for reinventing himself and finding great success in doing so. Not many of us can say that. Cheers to Joji 🍻
Dang that hurts. The good thing is that when they get back together they'll still feel close
This dude made my childhood. I had so many people in my school watching him and waiting for the next video to come out. I miss those days you could spend hours on RUclips and never be board. Back when no one cared about what was being put on RUclips people was more creative and just happier on the platform. Thanks for making not only mine but so many other people happy
I can't believe it's been 5 fucking years already... very unbelievable. It seems that he announced his retirement like 2 years ago or something. I'm very proud of him, he has accomplished sooo much in a whole decade. That's very impressive.
It still feels like just yesterday…😢
a distinction i think should be pointed out about the addpocalypse starting around the time he left, is that more accurately the addpocalypse was caused predominantly by him.
it should also be highlighted that he admitted that he used the filthy frank show to garner a following in order to launch his Joji career.
I started watching filth back in 2013 when I was a young kid, not understanding English was a bit hard but I can say that his videos helped me learn a new language and of course have a blast while watching them. Makes me happy to see that people still make videos about him half a decade later!
in 2017 the internet was already starting to become too sensitive for Filthy Frank exist.
George Miller is a RUclips saint at this point
The least we can do is thank him for the laughs he gave so many viewers during our childhood
papa Franku the supreme meme lord of internet culture he will always be missed
I am glad that the channels are still up. Pure internet history from the good ol' days. If he had continued all the channels would have been taken down. also, Francis of the Filth was a great read.
I still watch some of my favorite frank videos from time to time. They're still funny, but mostly nostalgic. They remind me of a more simple time in life, and I appreciate that
It'd be funny if filthy frank became his sole career. I'm pretty sure he would've been a great comedian
he carried many of his fans from filthy frank. that's why he became successful many of his fans really want joji to create "serious" song because he always give us some interesting songs then he will add meme to it which ruins the songs (ex.fried noodles) His fan on filthy frank channel is loyal af i still remember him releasing i think its pink season and they meme it to became number 1 on some charts.
I cried watching this, I’m proud of George and how he’s grown, and yet I still yearn for more franku lore
I think it's time to binge the entirety of frank from beginning to end. Thank you.
It's so trippy to me that there are younger folks who are fans of Joji, but have no clue what Filthy Frank is. Like for the rest of us it's this irreplaceable part of his history and a staple icon of internet culture; but you show Filthy Frank to some folks, and they go "Wait, that's *JoJi?!"*
Not that I have a problem with any of that though. Joji is absurdly talented and I'm glad that he's becoming more recognized for this part of himself that he's more impassioned for. We'll always be grateful for the entertainment and hilarity that Joji gave us as Filthy Frank, but no it's his time to revel in his own passions. I hope he continues killing it in the music industry like he's been.
It reminds of when on Twitter ppl "discovered" he was Filthy Frank. He never tried to hide it!
@@shaleamontanez4591 Well, the Twitter community has always been in the habit of patting themselves on the back 🙄
Honestly the best music he did came from this early period, when Pink Guy was based off Donald Glover. Comedic rap with nice hooks and a sung chorus- Animal Man still slaps, for example. Chloe Burbank was great too, such a shame he moved away from the bedroom/lo fi sound
Whether he's Frank or Joji, George will always be the GOAT.
In the clip Max and Chad of listening to Sanctuary you can hear them talking quietly about the Diplo feature which wasn’t public knowledge at the time
i always try to avoide this kinda video cause as soon as I watched it a train of nostalgia just hits me hard and left me feeling warm and fuzzy man. Knowing we will probably never see frank again is depressing but seeing joji made it to the big league just feels proud being his fan
