@@RareAmericans Hi! I realized how close you are to 400k subscribers congrats. I honestly think you should have atleast 1M because all you're videos get like 1-10M views and can you please respond with "Hi Elijah".
The first song is really about i'd do it again and i dont regret a thing but i will pay the consequences, coming to the grave with me i cant change the past i can only accept it
2:52 cant stop rewatching this part, just the line “suprised? Most of em are, im Mufasa, and im Scar. Lily white shit gets old and trite, tell me why your in my sight” its just got so much power to it
@@azzy9293 Nah, it's "Lily white shit gets old and trite" since Trite means "Unoriginal" or "Lacking freshness" So he'd essentially be saying "Lily white shit gets old and boring/unoriginal" where Nicky then throws a bit of spice in with his offer, gives Scarfasa here a reason to let him go do his thing As opposed to "Lily white sheep get sold in boredom/unoriginality" which wouldn't make much sense.
@@azzy9293 all you had to do was look up the official lyrics before commenting lmao. Look up the lyrics it literally says "Lily-white shit gets old and trite."
Anyone else thinks he may be time looping himself? Nicky not only is going back to watch his mom but His Skeleton form is seen several times with him throughout 1 and 2 and even comes out of himself when pushed into hell
@@darkmatterzero2013 i might be wrong, but nicky could be Nicolas as it is possibly the nickname given by the bully in the first part where nicky trolled the shit out of him
Personally, I think it's rather that "His Skeleton Form" in the first one and most of this one, until the very end, isn't actually him, but it's someone else who made the same choices as him. As we see when he becomes a skeleton (which, I assume by how we see a bunch of them next to the angels when he's entering heaven, are the forms of all demons in this world), he possesses someone else to do back stuff, so the skeleton in the first MV is a different Demon possessing him to do this stuff. When the lyrics say "I made the most of a terrible start", he's right, cause it wasn't him doing the bad stuff, it was this other demon forcing him to, hence why the demon in the first MV was enjoying it so much, cause he was using Nicky to get his own reward assumedly (just as Nicky uses that guy at the end to try to get his reward of meeting his mom.) Nicky isn't just a product of a bad system in life, but in death too, that's his "terrible start".
@@brookdevonshire319 either that, or in the first song that's him looking bad at his life, and Nicky basically enlisted to become a enforcer of sorts. Basically do grunt work for the system, we can see with the skeletons they operate as guards, watchers, enforcers in the material world. And vehicles apparently? And most likely gate operators welcoming and moving people along, or the special cases at the least like Nicky, where it's going to be hard to contain them.
From an analytical standpoint, I like how the lyrics eventually incorporate the hell and heaven in him, combining both in the final chorus to say “That son of a bitch was gold”, to show everyone has duality, especially Nicky
This gets even better when you realize that unlike the first song, this basically happens in real time. My man is only in the afterlife for ten minutes before he’s tricked his way out
0:44 I just realized, the carts, both have symbols on them, symbolizing where each person was going, the wing symbolized heaven, the carts with skulls, symbolized hell. Nicky was riding the one with a skull, symbolizing his destination at the end.
@@imalostboxofnoddles3160 It's a callback to the first song which honestly brought me to Rare Americans so I would assume it's a awesome vibe, I've yet to regret not skipping that ad
I disagree I think it's too in your face. the stories themselves are fantastic but the telling of them doesn't leave much room for imagination which isn't necessarily a bad thing but personally, I don't like it
Can we talk about the fact that Nicky was bodying people twice his size, and the first time something actually stands up to his strength, it's the fucking Wardens of Hell? Because holy shit what a good way to highlight how different things are.
I know right. I mean in his prime in life Nicky was a druggie or drug addict but he did get into fights frequently so he must've been like very lean but strong. The fact that when he was nearing middle age he still got to beat up like 3 other buff dudes that were shanking Ben in prison(the 3 musketeers referred in the song).
That would be a terrifying answer. But aren't steroids for making muscles bigger? Nicky has much muscle as a twig (No offense to Nicky intended. Don't wanna get haunted by Chaos spirit Skele-Nicky)
The weird thing is that the skeletons with red suits seem to be demons while the angels humans and a skeleton in a white suit said to nicky "welcome to heaven! Nicky" does this mean redemption is possible?
In this universe I would say definitely considering that in the song Ben tells Nicky that if he is the Devil’s pawn for the real world he may be let into heaven

wait a minute I just realized something. In a lot of these stories, people's souls in the afterlife appear as they were during the best years of their life. When we find Ben in hecc land, he's still in the prison garb and everything, exactly how he was when he was friends with nicky. I like to think that those years in particular were his best because of nicky.
2 years, I still have only 2 things to say 1: when god says "No kid, you made plenty of mistakes, starting with the pie to Shiftys face" & "Surprised? most of them are. I'm Mufasa and I'm scar" just goes so damn hard, I cannot stop listening to that part and 2: it is too damn smooth, the music, the animation, the everything is just too damn good
@@bumsicle27 The sequel is the part after old Nicky dies i.e. the whole hell part. Prequel is the part where Skeleton Nicky comes out of hell and starts the first song about his life

I haven’t seen anyone say this but the line “I’m mufasa and I’m scar” is one of the best I had to go back to make sure I heard it right the first time.
I mean necessarily they are both the same in a way They both are just doing their jobs as rulers of the afterlife it just depends on the choices you make in life that decide the side of the coin you get
Thanks cute potato! really appreciate it PS we just launched BBN merch and signed RA2 CD’s/Vinyls for a crazy discount on our site right now, have you checked it out? bit.ly/3ateynf
The duality of it all is quite interesting. You've got a protagonist who's made mistakes, but chooses to make the best of a bad situation. Then God or Fate or whatever decides to send him and his family to hell when, really, none of them are bad people. Nicky calls God out for his hypocrisy and then does what he does best, make the best of what he's been dealt. I think the moral of the story is, when the odds aren't in your favor, hang on and fight back. Don't give up on yourself; don't give up on people.
This has to one of the most creative interpretations of the underworld/heaven and hell that I’ve ever see. I also for some reason really like the concept of god and the devil being the same being. 10/10 just as good as the first one plus that ending....makes me wonder if there making a third one.
To think I discovered the original song through a very random youtube ad a long time ago. Now Im watching all the videos and humming songs to myself. Big fan of you guys. And I can tell the music and the animation has improved over the years. Cant wait to see what else you guys have in store!
Sorry to ruin this joke. This is technically a prequel. This tells how he becomes a skeleton ghost thing. And in BBN1, it’s him in his skeleton ghost form telling his story to us. Nicky is somewhat self aware.
"I'm not, gonna, get pushed around, I'm not, going, down down down" and the three demons proceed to look at each other in confusion or possibly awe as they've either never seen such determination, or they've met a kindred spirit.
I’m going to say both odds of getting a sinful soul who has A kind heart he’s practically one in infinity Even the big duo would be interested in an audience with him to see what he really wants
How strong is Nicky? This dude punched a cop across a room and knocked one out with one punch. He 1v3’d prisoners, and he fought pretty good against the demon guards. And he looked like he could still fight after he got knocked down.
the way he delivers "is god the devil himself?" and then it reveals that he is the devil himself in "im mufasa and im scar" is just amazing, i love how they piece it together!
Man I remember when Brittle bones Nicky was an ad that would make me forget what I was originally going to watch. And now it has a sequel. The nostalgia is real folks.
Bro,I got the ad for this and watch it fully then searched the song and played it on repeat that same day I'm so glad I her that song so long ago and to have them make a 2 was great and I,was so excited
Lil something I noticed. When he stole the keys from the one guard, there was four. Later, towards the end, there was three. So, I'm thinking he had ended up freeing Ben from his little cage thing.
@@cagethelonewolf Alright. Listen here, while I completely and utterly show you how wrong you are. Reference 2:16 where Ben is pointing at the set of keys the guard has. That CLEARLY implies Nicky needs to get them. Then, reference 3:32 where Nicky is spinning the key ring. There's three left, so, logically, he used one of the keys for someone. Have fun arguing against that, asshole.
Fuck yeah! No one else but RA can make such good music that keeps you entertained for years after years Show this to my grandkids when I'm older and tell em this was the only music that existed
He that did with the smile on his face then do drugs basically he already did more bad deed than good And he's enjoying thoses bad deed, sorry nick but God has a point
@@comprehentingbiased2968 hate to argue, drugs were his poor attempt to cope with trauma, alongside most of the bad things he did. not saying its acceptable, but there's at least some reason
@@notamoth238 I won’t spoil anything so don’t worry, I do prefer the 1st one, but it’s lyrics are just as amazing, it’s got that same quick paced story telling rhythm as the first one it’s amazing

Bro i just realized, the first time they showed the keys there was 4, but when Nicky has them there is only 3, it might mean nothing but i hope it means that he saved his friend xD
Brittle Bones Nicky he was crafty and tricky scamming his way to the end, He had A heart of gold despite acting cold, He risked his life to save his best friend, Though life wasn't kind he got into a bind I think that you'll find Brittle Bones Nicky to have an interesting mind, He wasn't good by any means, But made up for it with his schemes, Scamming his way past The Devil and God Brittle Bones Nicky's life and death was odd, Hes still talked about today by those who remember him, Cops criminals and some guy named Jim.
If you notice, Nicky is given somewhat special treatment. Everyone else is in tubes and carts, Nicky gets a chorus at the gate, speaks to god himself, and gets a deal with the Devil. Dope af dude
I think he didn’t get the option to go to heaven he was in hell but hell made it look like there was an option but there wasn’t. Because the devil himself turned around to be seen wearing an image of god
@@RareAmericans Y'all are good I didn't know any of your songs but the first one I heard was Ryan and Dave and I have to admire the animation and the beat it's amazing
@@casualrat1807 but remember he made a deal with both god and the Devil and we both know that when you make a deal with either one of them they are going to expect him to keep his end of the deal whether he wants to or not.

1: when god says "No kid, you made plenty of mistakes, starting with the pie to Shiftys face" & "Surprised? most of them are. I'm Mufasa and I'm scar" just goes so damn hard, I cannot stop listening to that part
and 2: it is too damn smooth, the music, the animation, the everything is just too damn good
They did the impossible. They created a prequel and sequel at the same time.
can you explain, i legit don’t get the story Lmao
@@bumsicle27 The sequel is the part after old Nicky dies i.e. the whole hell part. Prequel is the part where Skeleton Nicky comes out of hell and starts the first song about his life
Oh wait they did
Wow
WRITING 100
So, did you go to heaven?
Nicky: Well yes, but actually no
Holy frick this comment blew up
I wanna like but the numbers are too damn perfect

Conclusion:
Brittle bones nicky is just a story of a weird kid in his journey to become a boney ghost rider paladin

The way you portrayed God and the Devil was very interesting, two sides of the same coin, the same entity making the choices, it's consistent
I mean necessarily they are both the same in a way
They both are just doing their jobs as rulers of the afterlife it just depends on the choices you make in life that decide the side of the coin you get

@@RareAmericans songs usually just try to have a hidden message while you guys sing a whole movie in 5 mins pretty straightfoward
@@RareAmericans will the story continue?
"he was crafty and tricky that son of a bitch was gold" were the first lyrics of brittle bones nicky in-studio. good one Rare Americans
It’s also the first line in the Apple Music version.
In the original it sounded more like “broke” than “gold” imo.
@@AnUnfortunatePotato yeah it sounded like that to me to
It was actually crafty and shifty
@@AnUnfortunatePotato it's gold, look lyrics in desc
The duality of it all is quite interesting. You've got a protagonist who's made mistakes, but chooses to make the best of a bad situation. Then God or Fate or whatever decides to send him and his family to hell when, really, none of them are bad people. Nicky calls God out for his hypocrisy and then does what he does best, make the best of what he's been dealt. I think the moral of the story is, when the odds aren't in your favor, hang on and fight back. Don't give up on yourself; don't give up on people.
[Everyone liked that]
That’s pretty much what it is. Though your in a rough spot, try to squeeze the most of the good out of it and keep your head up high.
Very well put, couldn’t agree more
I feel like this music video would make for an amazing in depth analysis
Also if you noticed he is not playing by the rules. He stole the hells keys.
"I'm mufasa and I'm scar!" The most bone chilling line in any song.
dang, the reversed audio, in the beginning, is," didn't win the game of life but id give myself a pass" nice callback
Thanks for the info
Your welcome
This has to one of the most creative interpretations of the underworld/heaven and hell that I’ve ever see. I also for some reason really like the concept of god and the devil being the same being. 10/10 just as good as the first one plus that ending....makes me wonder if there making a third one.
Dude i hope so it’d be sick to see nicky as his new self earn his way to heaven with his mom
Definitely are
Thought my story was over, book closed?
Think again, we’re no where close
ima take that as there making another one

To think I discovered the original song through a very random youtube ad a long time ago. Now Im watching all the videos and humming songs to myself. Big fan of you guys. And I can tell the music and the animation has improved over the years. Cant wait to see what else you guys have in store!
Same I found them through a brittle bones Nicky ad too and I like their stuff to this day
Same but with the cats rats and dogs advertisement

Hell yeah dude we all did
Same
2:02 i love how baffled he sounds here, the tone of voice is just saying 'what the fuck.' and im here for it
Fans: So... this a sequel or prequel?
Rare Americans: Yesn’t
Sorry to ruin this joke. This is technically a prequel. This tells how he becomes a skeleton ghost thing. And in BBN1, it’s him in his skeleton ghost form telling his story to us. Nicky is somewhat self aware.
Rare Americans: Both? Both. Both is good.
I think this a sequel since he sees someone from the first music video
@@popmasteralan5594 but u also have to remember he says a blast from the past so it’s a infinite loop
@@popmasteralan5594 i mean its both right?it explains how he became a skeleton,but it also shows what happened after he died
"I'm not, gonna, get pushed around, I'm not, going, down down down" and the three demons proceed to look at each other in confusion or possibly awe as they've either never seen such determination, or they've met a kindred spirit.
I’m going to say both odds of getting a sinful soul who has A kind heart he’s practically one in infinity Even the big duo would be interested in an audience with him to see what he really wants
Or thay where sapprais that he was a skeleton
or they were wondering why he was repeating the words down down down
The twist and design of the god and devil being one and the same was brilliant and looked super cool. Good freaking job mates, this slaps!!

How strong is Nicky? This dude punched a cop across a room and knocked one out with one punch. He 1v3’d prisoners, and he fought pretty good against the demon guards. And he looked like he could still fight after he got knocked down.
Nicky solos your favorite verse
Ikr, he looks like he’s made of bones but he’s jacked, he also had legit no room to pull back his arm to charge his punch
Lets see him do a melee fight with doomguy lets see who wins
@@oggabooka2324 Begins... The infinite battle (perhaps)
The only explanation is that he is a demi god
the way he delivers "is god the devil himself?" and then it reveals that he is the devil himself in "im mufasa and im scar" is just amazing, i love how they piece it together!
Man I remember when Brittle bones Nicky was an ad that would make me forget what I was originally going to watch. And now it has a sequel. The nostalgia is real folks.
Oh yeah!
Before I knew it was a video I could search, I would repeatedly try and get that ad so I listen to it.
Bro,I got the ad for this and watch it fully then searched the song and played it on repeat that same day I'm so glad I her that song so long ago and to have them make a 2 was great and I,was so excited
It's actually a pre-sequel! At the end Nicky is leaving his own funeral and starting the first song.
Dude same
omgg yeah
The fact of this song is a banger with such a deep meaning. Just proves how rare Americans can make anything into a good song♥️♥️♥️
"Brittle bone nicky"
"He was crafty and tricky"
Favorite line
I liked
"Brittle bones nicky you aren't crafty or tricky, youre a son of a bitch, your low"
Idk why tho
True though
@@jacobusbozzua240 I agree. It’s “alone” not low but it’s still great
mine was the ben part
@@blubernaut ya that to I mean $#/[
Lil something I noticed. When he stole the keys from the one guard, there was four. Later, towards the end, there was three. So, I'm thinking he had ended up freeing Ben from his little cage thing.
They drop the keys he didn't steal anything, would you fight with your weapon or keys in your hand
@@cagethelonewolf That is the mentality of a thief and a scoundrel. If a man happens to drop his solid gold bar, is it no longer his property?
He nevrr once touched the keys you idiot he didn't steal them cause he never touched them
@@cagethelonewolf Alright. Listen here, while I completely and utterly show you how wrong you are. Reference 2:16 where Ben is pointing at the set of keys the guard has. That CLEARLY implies Nicky needs to get them. Then, reference 3:32 where Nicky is spinning the key ring. There's three left, so, logically, he used one of the keys for someone. Have fun arguing against that, asshole.
