Bro I still remember waking up at like 6 am to MTV showing this video I literally was so shocked by the lyrics I downloaded it and learned the verses not knowing that I was opening a weird ass can of worms
Bryan Isaac Sorry homie I typed the wrong shit, Steezy just took the first verse and used the beat (and added to it of course) other than that no hes just referencing.
7 years is enough for someone to pay homage to a dope ass song with some interesting facts, homie. I seriously don't get the "late" concept, it's always been a great song lol
@@sprky-_- it's just like fun to listen to and to be your old younger edgy self for a little bit that's pretty much what all of goblin and bastard is to me at this point lol, also the music I think is pretty dope, but just lyrics wise.
And I also love how successful Bruno has become from his music after getting childish hates for it .Both Kanye and Tyler apologized to him bc he was chill and didn't bark back from their childishness
It took genius a little over five minutes to do a "Looking Back At..." video for Bobby Shmurda's "Hot N***a" but 2:44 for this, arguably one of Tyler's best songs ever. All respect to bobby but this was way to short. For Yonkers, a serious lyrical breakdown could take up to ten minutes maybe more but instead they missed a huge chunk of the song.
This mans whole career and change that came with it is so goddamn interesting, you see him eating some roaches and promoting murder the next second you see him singing love songs
RKLS WOLF I'm an over achiever, so how about I start a team of leaders And pick up Stevie Wonder to be the wide receiver Green paper, gold teeth and pregnant golden retrievers Is all I want, fuck money, diamonds and bitches, don't need them

Took them 7 years to comprehend this song 😂
Alex Contreras fr

it says "looking back" smfh
Is Tyler the creator a satanist my brother wnna kno
No Kapp BOOKIES no
I can’t wait for 2024 when they drop a video breaking down See You Again or something from Flower Boy
Accordingly LOL FOR REAL
Accordingly 😹💀
Sarcasm
Lol
Lol I know
Bro I still remember waking up at like 6 am to MTV showing this video I literally was so shocked by the lyrics I downloaded it and learned the verses not knowing that I was opening a weird ass can of worms
😂😂😂😂
Best can of worms you'll ever get
for realllllll!!!!! lmfaooooooo
You deserve a sub Zusse
I remember seeing him on ridiculousness in 2012 I think when I was like 7
He really made the beat as a joke lol. and its hard af!
Thats how talented he is as a producer
I believe the beat and the first line of bars is from Capital Steez. Correct me if I'm wrong though
Bryan Isaac Sorry homie I typed the wrong shit, Steezy just took the first verse and used the beat (and added to it of course) other than that no hes just referencing.
@@notsofast8568 Thanks for keeping me updated then lmao.
Bryan Isaac nah you right
Thanks for putting filthy frank in the video 0:57
Ryan Hunter I thought that was jojivlogs
josh zurek same person

7 years late
PRT2 a Gaea
It really has been seven years holy shit, time wtf is you doing?
zo ro I’m saying bro
7 years is enough for someone to pay homage to a dope ass song with some interesting facts, homie. I seriously don't get the "late" concept, it's always been a great song lol
It’s called looking back for a reason why tf are there always these comments
I still bump Yonkers. Shit is dope.
Ronnie Wells best song he ever made
@@pania3952 not at all it's one of the best but not the best
@@sprky-_- it's just like fun to listen to and to be your old younger edgy self for a little bit that's pretty much what all of goblin and bastard is to me at this point lol, also the music I think is pretty dope, but just lyrics wise.
@@Bishcona Lol not everyone that’s edgy has to be young
@@HatredInTheFlesh yeah I was speaking for myself I was explaining why I liked it
The fact that they put Frank in as an example of the cinnamon challenge kills me everytime
With the credit to Dizasta music lmao
Mr. Filthy Frank was ahead of his time. The world was not ready for his accomplishments and futuristic attributes.
i waited seven years for a meaning to this and still didnt even get one.
They had 7 years to do the research and they still think he's referencing the cinnamon challenge.. ffs
Griffin GFX what else is it about then?
im genuinely curious what that line really means
i always thought it was cum
HAHA you never know with tyler
.
This shit is laaaaaate
Still gonna watch it
Nvm... it’s all shit we knew
X1-800-TooNasty _ what
That's why the title says "looking back"
Weird how they made this video just as I started to binge listen to this song again
i miss the odd future era when shit was just crazy
Yeah I feel you lol
What’s funny is BOB fell off and Tyler and odd future are still big
not odd future but Tyler yeah
how bob feelin now post grammy
Not Odd Future. But either way B.o.B is a better rapper overall despite Tyler having serious talent
@@agfromdai.e3806 bro really said B.o.B better than Tyler☠️☠️
@@aidanc1088 LMAOOO
New Tyler fans would have hated Yonkers back in the day
Jason Yonkers was my first Tyler song, second being Sarah
i meaannn i like both new tyler and old tyler
@@aitorcazalis2307 i hated flower boy and cherry bomb but now okra dropped so i have hope
@@Joseph-mf3yi L
Yonkers was the first song I heard by Tyler
Late much? Are y’all gonna explain thriller by Michel Jackson next?
Nena Caliente That’s why your ass got dropped by Edmond
was genius even around back then?
😂😂😂
@@masuzyo.g9715 only real ones get this reference 🤣
@Julian Vega yup 🤣
I love how B.o.b. Dropped a diss track on a “nobody” but nobody cares about him now
Eh he still got some buzz
what's funny is that a nigga with a song called airplanes thinks the world is flat
@@kuruptzZz he does?
@@larks. Yeah, he's a flat earther.
And I also love how successful Bruno has become from his music after getting childish hates for it .Both Kanye and Tyler apologized to him bc he was chill and didn't bark back from their childishness
im a overachiever
so how about i start a team of leaders
and pick up stevie wonder to be the wide receiver
Lol i started rapping that part too
woou
Green paper, gold teeth, and pregnant gold retrievers, all I want fuck money diamonds and bitches don’t need em
wow i would’ve never known! thank you guys so much for this video explained so many unanswered questions
how y’all bearly doing this
Mathew Martinez they jumping on the bandwagon cuz Tyler blowing up again
bro on me 😂😂
One Blue Boi HAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAAHAHAH
Cool Video, haven't watched the entire thing though because this was posted 10 seconds ago though
I literally, love Yonkers. That song is my ssshhhhiiiiittttt..
This song has one of the sickest beats Ive ever heard
Anyone forget the cinnamon challenge was ever a thing
Never forget
Boston Falcons it came out after this song did tho like popularity wise compared to when this song came out
Brandon Chan lol true, cinnamon challenge sounds like it was pretty 2012 not 2011
Yo how about the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge
Ain't nobody here wishing Asap rocky a happy birthday
smh
Oh shit.. Rocky turned 30 how nice
@@carsmusicandclothing7066 Only reason i know that is bc we share a bday 😂😂
Damn I was thinking this was the other video made long ago. Thanks for the update
It’s good to see Genuis is still doing lyric videos that are old but still the best songs
It took genius a little over five minutes to do a "Looking Back At..." video for Bobby Shmurda's "Hot N***a" but 2:44 for this, arguably one of Tyler's best songs ever. All respect to bobby but this was way to short. For Yonkers, a serious lyrical breakdown could take up to ten minutes maybe more but instead they missed a huge chunk of the song.
THIS IS THE VID IVE BEEN WAITING FOR
"I jus wanted to know if my father would ever like me" best line from that song even tho they didn't show it
In my opinion, this is the best rap song of the 2010's.
this song 7 yrs old and it still bangs 🔥
This took damn near a decade wtf lmao
That was BONKERS
I miss this Tyler 😞
When you run out of ideas so you explain a 7 year old song
What an important song in hip-hop history
0:26 is that franklin from gta5?
0:57 hats to genius for putting in my lover boy ❤️
I remember I used to hate this song when it came out but now I love it 😂
This video came out so fast 👌👌👌
2000 & late ; low-key couldn't recover . Like he said
Think you might be a bit late
Aren’t y’all like 6 years late lmao. Still tho this song went hard when I was in middle school and still to this day it’s lit
it's called looking back for a reason why do people always leave stupid comments like this
I was expecting a more in depth video but I guess this will do
it took them this long for a video explaining a track that doesnt even need explaining 😂
Videos 7 years old
But good content
Tyler’s a living legend!
Great vid
its 2018 and people still in Awe over this. obviously a classic
Man such a different time when OF was coming up. I miss the days
Finally they answeeed my prayers been waiting years for someone to break this song down
This mans whole career and change that came with it is so goddamn interesting, you see him eating some roaches and promoting murder the next second you see him singing love songs
Eating that roach broke the internet that day
I love Yonkers. I think it’s incredibly clever. I get why Tyler doesn’t like it anymore tho.
AND THESE NIGHAS DIDNT EVEN TALK ABOUT THE HARDEST LINE HAHA
What was the hardest line lmfao
@@2fly4u217 right, haha
The opening line for sure, that paradox line too hard for those who knows what it means
RKLS WOLF I'm an over achiever, so how about I start a team of leaders
And pick up Stevie Wonder to be the wide receiver
Green paper, gold teeth and pregnant golden retrievers
Is all I want, fuck money, diamonds and bitches, don't need them
@@Devisalive and where the fat ones at? I got sumn to feed em
With some cooking books the black kids never wanted to read em
It 2018 and we’re still talking about Yonkers I love this shit
1:55 I UNDERSTAND! BRUNO MARS IS GOOD!
No way im glad you did this
This song is such a classic
*beautiful timing*
IM FINNA
EAT A COCKROACH
Berlezy!?
this the last song so, im finna wipe that off
WHAT'S GOOD Y'ALL?! WELCOME BACK!!
I’m a fuckin walking paradox
I always chuckle at the Stevie Wonder line
wow 7 years later but im still leaving a like because its tyler
Whats crazy, coincidentally I got into this song like a month ago, so this is pretty cool for me to see.
Late...LIKE 7 YEARS LATE
A moment for our lovely Nissan the cockroach.
Still got this song memorized
This is easily my favorite song from tyler
Man I remember Yonkers. Shit was slapping
I fuckin miss this Tyler so much 😭😭😭🔥🔥
My fav rapper
Y'all must have had no ideas for a video today
“The bug’s name was ‘Nissan’ 😞 “ lmao
It took so long to find it out but we finally did it
Every Tyler album is good
All my homies still bump to Yonkers at 2 am
One of my favs by Tyler 😍
7 years too soon man, at least wait for us to comprehend it damnnn
Naming a cockroach 'Nissan' is just such a Tyler thing to do.
Jesus. This is as late as my EX girlfriends period....
So you're a father then ?
Good ol' T
Genius I think u should investigate on 80s music now if u wanna be late
Took you guys this long? My god
Awwwwww young tyler
This Tyler will NEVER go back
*THANKS, GENIUS!!!!!!*
Tyler, The Goat*
0:57 rip Papa Franku
7 years to understand the brain himself
This shit still slaps man.
yall know they added goblin to sr3
7 years later...
HOLY SHIT. Highschool vibes
That song scared me as a kid
Damn it took y’all long enough
rip nissan ???? - 2011
Most watched part of this video is him apology to Bruno. He succeed in using Bruno's name to get some fame
why would he use bruno for relevance 💀
Genius should add the video on the screen at the end for Song News and Deconstructed so we can listen right after
Like if you agree
Genius needs to make a video on how the Patek influenced the rap game
