Yeah it’s interesting because we don’t actually know what was on his mind. It could also just be Joyner’s interpretation of what he’s thinking when he actually just wants to praise. This is part of the problem with being rich and famous with “poor” friends. They are plenty that are jealous but also there’s the paranoia of thinking everyone is jealous when some people actually aren’t.
The writing is crazy like before Rotimi went on his tirade he said “But listen” then went on to his true thoughts. And when he came back to the actual toast he says “But you my ninja, my brother…”. Just the way it’s written and shot is immaculate!
Joyner just posted that this is actually a promo for a show he and Rotimi want to shoot, but all the streaming services have turned them down. “Can’t use a music video as a promo”. I hope someone takes a chance on them and gets it rolling. No doubt in my mind it’ll be an incredible show!
When Ryan said "that's a lot of praise" in the middle of Broski's speech, I laughed out loud. It took me out the moment for a second because that would be a lot of props in one toast lol
This is how some family members and friends are. If they ask you money and you say you can't give them, they will trash you for filth and tell you never did anything for them. Unfortunately, I have been on the receiving end of this many times than I can count
I think the video also represents intrusive thoughts (the negative ones) behind compliments someone may say to you, so you may think someone is happy for you but deep down they have this hatred and won't say it to your face.
Love this y’all should do reactions like this more some songs you gotta stop to break down but you guys have so much info it’s best to save it for after and run it back with pauses. Great reaction.
The instrumental was hard too, it carried every bar, just building up suspense and the mood of the song. That guitar was in the background was 🔥 Everything just fit perfectly like a masterpiece 👌🏽 The visuals just enhanced it and brought the vision to life
Nah not even top 3 in my opinion. I'm not hating on this video, he just has so many other great videos. Happy birthday, Ross capichioni, long way, I'm sorry, keep it 100, dudes an artist
Joyner is talented af. And fine af I'm so confused. The way this song took a turn for the worst is actually the same way it happens in real life. Definitely love this song
One of the most diverse and talented yet underrated bands on earth right now is king gizzard and the lizard wizard just dropped a new album last week. Show them some love and check out “witchcraft”
One thing I took notice of when George said he wouldn’t listen to this on his spare time. It got me wondering why wouldn’t we listen to this on our spare time? Only thing I could think of is we want to hear music that gives us a feeling and we don’t want music where you actually have to sit back and listen to in order to get the message. Attention Span is low. No shot at George he just got me thinking about “music” like this. Case in point Kendrick last album a lot of people feel the same way. They wouldn’t listen on their spare time.
It’s not necessarily about having a low attention span, certain content/topics are hard to digest over and over on a daily basis. Kendrick’s latest album is like a therapy session, not everybody wants to listen through that everyday. Similar to this style of song.
I know you guys have done some country music but you HAVE to do Garth Brooks. Country legend. Best-selling solo albums artist of all time in the US! Ain't Goin' Down Til the Sun Comes Up is crazy. Much Too Young is also a good one. So many to choose from.
Ecclesiasticus 6:7-14,17 [7]If thou wouldest get a friend, prove him first and be not hasty to credit him. [8]For some man is a friend for his own occasion, and will not abide in the day of thy trouble. [9]And there is a friend, who being turned to enmity, and strife will discover thy reproach. [10]Again, some friend is a companion at the table, and will not continue in the day of thy affliction. [11]But in thy prosperity he will be as thyself, and will be bold over thy servants. [12]If thou be brought low, he will be against thee, and will hide himself from thy face. [13]Separate thyself from thine enemies, and take heed of thy friends. [14]A faithfull friend is a strong defence: and he that hath found such an one hath found a treasure. [17]Whoso feareth the Lord shall direct his friendship aright: for as he is, so shall his neighbour be also.
Yo, I have a different interpretation: I think the portrayal of the character flops between the REAL FRIEND WHO'S HELD DOWN JOYNER FROM JUMP AND HES THE ONLY REAL ONE LEFT IN JOYNERA LIFE WHO HASNT ACTED ENTITLED TO THE BLESSINGS THAT JOYNER HAS EXPERIENCED, THROUGH HIS OWN HARD WORK, and since the homie the toast, is the LAST REMAINUNG DENUINE DAY ONE in Joyner's life... Joyner is crippled by the anxiety that EVENTYALLY his homie WILL reveal himself to be a rat like EVERYONE ELSE who has claimed to be a "Real One" eventually revealed themaelves to be, SO... The song is really an expression of that very human emotion of being suspicious that many so-called "friends" will be fake to your face, and given the body of evidence you collect throughout the multitudinous fallouts we all experience through life, we acquire the wisdom of discerning your REAL family and your CASUAL "friends..." So, essentially, the cinematography in the video is a visual representation of the human experience of intrapersonal struggle with our inability to accept compliments and appreixiation from our loved ones without our suspicions that theres an ulterior motive behind the showering of love being heaped upon us. Essentially; we tend to reach a point in which our brain has been primed to stop absorbing the praise as genuine, and start anticipating the proverbial, "BUT..." that's so often the penultimate word said before your suspicions are unfortunately confirmed again - that in ACTUALITY those compliments? Love, amd praise arent actually LEGITIMATE, rather they are a rhetorical foot in the door used to exploit your generousity by taken it for granted, taking advantage of it, and finally feeling entitled to it. This is why the video starts with his best friensa toast declaring "ive never told you this before..." which would prime Anyone, let alone a famius entertainment success - who probably strugglea with "impostser syndrome" and is riddled with anxiety over the fact that everyone in his lofe is juat a shark cirxling him because they smell blood in the water and qanna get "their slice" while the gettin is still good... THIS IS EZACTLY WHY THE LIGHTING, SETTING, AND TONE of the video change when his friend flips from gratitude to entitlement and resentment... The reason it reverts back to positivity and love is because the friend actually IS GENUINE and never said amy of the stuff that is spoken during the "DARK" insidious cinematic tone... Thats just a representation of the paranoia that Joyner is experiencing, waiting for his true friend to finally REVEAL HIMSELF AS A SNAKE, so... Joyner is essentially still trapped by his fear of what his career expwrience has instilles in him, a default expectation that even the realest around him will eventually turn on him - EVEN WHEN THERES NO EVIDENCE (THE GOOD ONES) HAVE GIVEN HIM TO DISTRUST HIM. So? The video ends eith love and daps and hugs becauss Joyjer is relieved that tge dreaded "final reveal" of a rat didnt actually come... Atleast; not... YET. Which is why the last frame is of a fed up friend - leading the audience to believe that this "Day One" can feel the constant doubt and distrust of his loyalty radiate off of Joyner, and in spite of all the integrity, gratitude, appreciation, & absolute lack of any entitlement hes shown Joyner, he's quite possibly fed-up with being held at a distance with a vague mistrust that stems, NOT FROM HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH JOYNER, But is unjustifiably miadirected towards him as a result of EVERYONE ELSE in Joyner's life who revealed themselves to be in a snake in the grass... And, so, after having tols him all the things he genuinely believes about Joyner - i.e. his respect, admiration, and gratitude for Joyner's ability to traverse the trials and tribukation of such a career path, both professionally AND intrapersonally, even after making an effort to finally say allvthe things that they both know to be true, but are generally left unspoken amongst TRUE FRIENDS... Joyner's reaction is to remain trepidatious and possibly even more suspicious that the final dominio of 'Day Ones' is finally about to fall... AND HIS FRIEND IS NOW EXASPERATED by the fact that after all theze years of being nothing but the most loyal person any friend could wish for - JOYNER STILL DOUBTS HIS MOTIVATIONS. And, just like so many intrapersonal relationshop dynamics, after feeling like youve gone above and beyond to be the best version of yourEld and treating someone with such appreciation that it SHOULD BE UNSOUBTABLE that youre EVERYTHING that the FAKE ONES could NEVER BE, BUT... Still being seen as NO DIFFERENT than the people who betrayed Joyner... One might start to believe that theres no reason NOT to become the person Joyner believea youre going to become anyway....
Ecclesiasticus 12:10-12,16-17 [10]Never trust thine enemy: for like as iron rusteth, so is his wickedness. [11]Though he humble himself, and go crouching, yet take good heed and beware of him, and thou shalt be unto him as if thou hadst wiped a lookingglass, and thou shalt know that his rust hath not been altogether wiped away. [12]Set him not by thee, lest, when he hath overthrown thee, he stand up in thy place; neither let him sit at thy right hand, lest he seek to take thy seat, and thou at the last remember my words, and be pricked therewith. [16]An enemy speaketh sweetly with his lips, but in his heart he imagineth how to throw thee into a pit: he will weep with his eyes, but if he find opportunity, he will not be satisfied with blood. [17]If adversity come upon thee, thou shalt find him there first; and though he pretend to help thee, yet shall he undermine thee.
That's an interesting idea. Actual known successful rappers going into that Broadway money. We can't have Miranda do everything or people will become bored of him. Good idea. Though Lil D went the TV route. We can't forget the other mediums.
If you mind… just listen to "az shanbeh" iranian alternative band, accoustic version of their song "chi shod?" Means "what happened?"… they r great in my opinion…
I think this is the first song they didn’t pause in the middle and just let it rock. Crazy.
I was thinking the same thing
Me 2 😅😅😅
cause it was mid
@@saintodin47 they stop songs all the time to call them mid or wack lol this was different left them almost speechless till the end
They also let J Cole - Amari play all the way through. They actually played it twice 😂 only time I’ve ever seen them do that
The fact that they went the whole song without pausing says a lot 👏🏾 This is fire🔥
facts. it was self explanatory
I liked the distinction between the conversations in public and then in private
Rotimi was so believable on this track. Like the song was made for him. He made me feel like I was watching love and resentment at the same time! 👏🏾
I can only see Rotomi as Dre lol. Mans is dope
@@snizzy69That’s why joyner choose rotimi cause he know he can play a 2 face ass dude 😂😂
They don’t make rap like this no more! Truest form of rap 🔥
You guys nailed it. None of those things were actually said. Only the praises came out but on the mind, he was saying completely different stuff 🪄🪄🪄
oh okay, Thanks for the explanation bro,
Yeah it’s interesting because we don’t actually know what was on his mind. It could also just be Joyner’s interpretation of what he’s thinking when he actually just wants to praise.

If nobody noticed the song starts and ends on the same frame. Amazing song ❤
When Ryan said "that's a lot of praise" in the middle of Broski's speech, I laughed out loud. It took me out the moment for a second because that would be a lot of props in one toast lol
Anyone else notice Joyner’s mom in the video? Broski’s be involved in your life and family fr
This is how some family members and friends are. If they ask you money and you say you can't give them, they will trash you for filth and tell you never did anything for them. Unfortunately, I have been on the receiving end of this many times than I can count
Brother Joyner went hard on this one 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This song is DEEP AF.....and very sad....because it's SO fuckin real
This song is just topnotch and Rotimi's performance was just breathless
Damn just watched the video like 20 minutes ago then came to RUclips and seen this.
Looking forward to the reaction as always.
Been waiting for this reaction, perfect timing
I think the video also represents intrusive thoughts (the negative ones) behind compliments someone may say to you, so you may think someone is happy for you but deep down they have this hatred and won't say it to your face.
Intrusive thoughts EXACTLY 👏🏾
It’s not an Intrusive thought if you believe it though
You 100
@@jakemoran287 exactly, we have the choice to believe our thoughts or not
Love this y’all should do reactions like this more some songs you gotta stop to break down but you guys have so much info it’s best to save it for after and run it back with pauses. Great reaction.
Joyner is too underated. In my opinion he's one of the bedt rappers
This that entitlement Jcole has been talking about on the climb back.
cook bro. “I slowly peeped, jealousy on his breath, whenever he spoke to me. Like on the low he feelin that in my shoes is where he ‘sposed to be” 💯
Rotimi turned into Dre real quick lmao
Joyner is beyond ordinary
Awesome track! Very happy that it showed up in my release radar on Spotify
Watching from SA🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 love the channel...Great review.....
Have y'all listened to Killer Mike's new album yet? The song with Andre 300 is super popular but the entire album is honestly really good.
The instrumental was hard too, it carried every bar, just building up suspense and the mood of the song. That guitar was in the background was 🔥 Everything just fit perfectly like a masterpiece 👌🏽 The visuals just enhanced it and brought the vision to life
yessss the guitar always gets me so hyped
2:49 peeped how he took a sip and put it down same time as the girl in the video😂
By far the best video by Joyner Yet
Nah not even top 3 in my opinion. I'm not hating on this video, he just has so many other great videos. Happy birthday, Ross capichioni, long way, I'm sorry, keep it 100, dudes an artist
@@ghosttheripper8656same for me
Its good; but I dont think it tops up Will; Kanye or 'I ain't racist'.
Lol you must’ve started listening in 2020. Joyner used to drop these weekly. Been trash lately though tbh
MASTERPIECE!
Joyner and Mr butta scotch killed that!!!
Gives me Ross Capicchioni storytelling vibes. Like if you know what I’m talking about.
Exactly ❤️🔥
WE NEED A SCIENTIST AND ENGINEERS REVIEW FELLAS!
KILLER MIKE FEAT FUTURE AND ANDRE 3K
This hits different
Champagne for everybody vibes 🔥🔥🔥
This is art
We are here already 🔥🔥🔥
LETS GOOOO TIME FOR THAT HEAT AND FIRST COMMENT!
Funny fact; Rotimi's name in yoruba actually means "stay with me."
Joyner is talented af. And fine af I'm so confused. The way this song took a turn for the worst is actually the same way it happens in real life. Definitely love this song
Joyner is the goat 🐐
Sheeesh that was crazy! Real talk!
Cain and Abel...the story of resentment.
I waiting for you guys!!! 😂
Was waiting to see what y’all thoughts were in this.
That idea at the end was immaculate
Joyner is just built different 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Joyner insane song
the endind looks lyk episode 2 is on way 💣🙄👌👌👌👌
One of the most diverse and talented yet underrated bands on earth right now is king gizzard and the lizard wizard just dropped a new album last week. Show them some love and check out “witchcraft”
one the best to hold the mic Joyner
Joyner is CRAZY talented but I can’t think of many songs of his that has much replay value.
That’s a big ass coffee George 😂😂
Esta canción los dividio!
Y’all gotta listen/review to that killer Mike ft Andre 3000 and Future!
Really loved this.
Let’s gooooo 💯💯

Really liked this one
That was the jealousy & hate coming out of rotimi's character
When a song makes feel guilty about something 😳
