Allie Wonders its not like u cant go and change ur name. and if u keep a name os some1 who was a slave i think it more about respect. no1 is forcing them to use the names. stop creating bullshit over.every little things
MrTekneon Shut up plz your nothing but the devil its just about having there last names its about us knowing our true selves... and what our ancestors true origins were y do i have to say this smfh? Many EUROPEANs/Americans have there true last names, but i guarantee you the majority of African/Americans dont..Im done.Go watch ROots or somthing you prejudice lil Bitch!
sureeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee im not even american and i am opressing u. keep crying about how sad and opressed u are cuz thats gonna do much 2 u. like i said. there is no1 alive today its gonna stop u from changing ur name. no1 gives a fuck about ur bullshit problems. every1 has problems ur just fking crying about them. fking do something about it or stfu. i live in europe. and im white as fuck and i dont know who the fuck was my family or where my name comes from and i honestly dont give a fuck. i dont need to cry about my shit to know who am i. ur just looking for fucking atention and looking for people to suck your dick cuz ur so opressed. ur so damaged by society cuz ur free and u can go to college and get a job. every one has fking problems. europe has a lot of racism 2 and a lot of people who like in shit conditions but u dont see any1 here crying about it. they go to work or do something to make theyr lifes better. go and fucking cry to ur parentes or 2 ur priest. the world doesnt give a fuck about u. GROW THE FUCK UP
Sure people can change their surnames, but the point is that they don't know their original names from before the slave owners re-named them. Use your brain, fucknut.
yeah i know bro. but there are only a few tracks with them two and i believe if those two sit on the same table and take a decision to write an album that would be epic.
No he's over rated. this tune is dog shit compared to the tunes he used to make, he's gone down hill. turned into a little pop artist following cheques.
Metal-head here. Decided to check out this song to see what perspective they offered on the current situation. Gotta say, the lyrics and the way they are embedded in the rhythm made me connect. The victims truly are speaking up for themselves like never before. They won’t be victims forever. Not even for long. I can hear it in this song.
Joey got me into hiphop in 2012 with the album 1999, & Pro Era Flatbush Underachievers, new york has great artists. Also was only into metal before that.
I go to a universty, and I have done two essays on this song. One in my intro to music class, and the other in my humanities class. This is such an inspiring song and I encourage everyone to listen to it and support Joey.
Kermit the Frog Youre confused. I said underrated because he is rated lower than he actually is. He isn't getting the recognition as a artist. Underrated means they aren't being fairly rated on their work. Underground means that major labels and mainstream media haven't recognized him. Your argument was that "he isn't underrated a lot of people been known about him", which means you think I said underground, and that's not what I said.
i am from poland, my english is weak, but every evening, i spend 1,5 h to translate joeys verses, lit af. my friends always tell me to switch song to normal music when i play badass, daamn , this is normal music
I’m so ashamed that people are starting to take notice of Joey’s message rn. It’s the same thing with the riots that are happening. I’m glad for it, but y did it have to happen after so many of our people died?
Thats excatly what ive been thinking man its crazg how they slept on joey... They just listen to that shalow shit and forgot that there is a real problem out there man its crazy...
He should have done that before they killed several of those prisoners lol. But I guess tht's meant to make a point, to illustrate how "we're all guilty" of not taking the action we know we are capable of to protect each other.
"still got the last names of our slave owners" that hit different. Being black myself I just recently traced my last name to a plantation in South Carolina. Damn, super conflicted about that
Dang, bro I can’t even imagine. I’m white, so I can’t really say anything about y’all’s oppression but I support the BLM movement. #justiceforfloyd #justiceforwright
Indira Gutierrez When articulate and coherent, like in Joey's case, truly beautiful. When expressed poorly and rudimentary (eg. "Fuck the police and president Bush" Lil Wayne - Georgia Bush) then it's just pure trash.

Free your mind from mental slavery.
Uttering nonsense. The society is ochestrated for blavk people not to make it. Racism is generational. I can assure you that many whites believe they are better than a man because of their skin color. It's a philosophiy that is inoculated in the minds of men from the day they are born. There is no such thing as black and black crime. It's known as the projects, commercial prison complexes. You give a man gun store on every corner, flood the street with drugs and put a market value on this drugs. Have a supermarket, a clenic and everything they need in that diaspora except money and you keep them improvish. And see how they behave, after they have been rejected by the outside world, when all the man who made it has done illicit deeds because society won't give them a chance. It's human nature to want to Better their condition are else we wouldn't be here today. You know not what you talk about you need to read history to understand what's going on. I don't support the promulgation of racism because guess what, this is what they need to fire the hatred and segregation. When people become cognizant of it the more it boils hatred.
Ruan Francis calm down man the things you described are mostly happening in the US and could easily get solved. the world is much bigger than the fucking US meaning: Maybe there is a problem with you're fascistic,capitalistic system (just saying) 😂
OMG I mean your so ignorant. First an foremost the United States didn't started writing history. There is nothing to calm down about, because I wasn't behaving out the norm.

One of the best rap songs of this generation. It's literally perfect. The flow, lyrics, symbolic meaning, while stressing the issues we have in our society without being corny. The music video actually has depth and a lot of meaning and again very symbolic. This is music you can tell a lot of time and thought was put into it. Very high quality production through and throguh Very well put together Joey been listening to this for 4 years!
his friend just wanted to make the world a better place through music. and he jumped off a building bc he couldnt. my respect for joey is boundless for at least trying
bruh I'm not the only one! specifically 1:25 - 1:32 reminds me of Pac for some reason, did Pac has a rap where he had that flow? this song is sick though
I know my comment wouldn't get seen or reply by many people. But I'm rapper who does not cuss and my rap sound/style would seek your attention. I have much more to show but right now I need you. Music moves everyone closer like family, my music is to create that family. The same way you support me is the same way I support you.. 1luv, together well change the universe one walk at a time.
He's not underrated he just got hot when all these mumble rappers hit the scene. These kids don't respect a lyricist Any more. A good beat and repetition is all they car about. Joey is actully considered in the top 5 vest lyricist ever. Facts
I’m 12, and kids at my school don’t get how this is real hip hop. Not Migos, lil uzi, 6ix9ine, lil pump, playboj carti, cardi b, and all the other mumble rappers that they think is the best. Joey on top #1! He’s my favorite artist. Edit: not here from PewDiePie, here from devastated
Same, they always play Pump or Cardi B on break time, but when I play Eminem's "Lose Yourself", they always yell at me "AUGUST, CUT YOUR STUPID SH*T". It is sad, to see, how hip hop has changed. I'm not judging other people's opinions, I'm just saying.
All you oldheads do is hate on whatever is popular because you want hip hop to stay on the same route as the old days and not open up for new forms. I love this shit, but I also love people like migos, Uzi, carti, Travis , Thug, etc. because they make enjoyable music and most kids your age just want to enjoy themselves and not worry about educational hardcore shit like this. Trap music may be different from hip hop but it definitely belongs because it’s given us nothing but enjoyable hip hop.
Live to unite not to divide this earth is a body and we are the cells they are those that heal such as Joey here and then there's those who are parasites such as politicians and authority figures. But which one are u ? Are u a healer thats loves doesn't live in fear or destroyer that feeds fear and doesn't know how to love...? The change we want to see in the world is the change we need to be within ourselves.
Pool Guy also the numbers and facts will keep this from being truth. the wrong message is being preached to the black youth. It's ruining people's futures.
I know my comment wont get view or answer by few people. But I am rapper who wont cuss and my rap sound/style would seek your attention. I have lots to show but right now I need you. Music brings us closer like family, my music is to make that family. The same way you support me is the same way I support you.. 1luv, together we can change the world one step at a time.
Drason Vender and you do realize he commented that 5 months ago. You do realize that the point of the comment is saying that joey is a very oldies type rapper and he is amazing.
I love how SOME white people take it personal, when a brother calls out the ol' boy network of this country. He's speaking on this country as a whole...not you the individual stupid. If you aren't racist, he isn't spitting bars about you. If you are in denial about how this country works, then that is on you. Much love and respect Joey, for dropping that knowledge on them! When the culture is at its best, is when it is seeking change and justice....the reason it was created in the first place....Peace. #HipHopForever
How many times do I gotta tell you I'm a man on a mission Many times I gotta tell you I don't need no permission Or human with supervision, ain't no livin' condition I'm reaching out to my children, just hoping that they will listen
How about some statistics? 'Joey Bada$$' Jo-Vaughn Virginie Scott, born January 20, 1995, 22 Years of age. 'Kendrick Lamar' Kendrick Lamar Duckworth, born June 17, 1987, 29 Years of age. 'J. Cole' Jermaine Lamarr Cole, born January 28, 1985, 32 Years of age. And Y'all still sleeping on my young mans? Joey the Goat!
Vinnie Paz, Snowgoons (Termanology, ill Bill, Statik Selektah), Reks, Logic, Immortal Technique, Lowkey, Sweatshop Union, Killah Priest, MF Doom, Cunninlynguist, Atmosphere, Brother Ali, RA The Rugged Man...list goes on. The same reason why people haven’t heard of them is the same reason i haven’t heard of Joey Bada$$. Real Hip Hop is underground.
White people slaves too they just dumb and don't realize it. Plus whites came from albinoism. I'm white just woke. All people on earth are related just Satan deceives.
i hate niggas who think every single fucking song has to have a boombap beat and god level triple entendres. shut the fuck up. the song was beautifully produced and written and even got him hella popularity. i honestly don't see how that could be disappointing
Everyone in the comments just needs to focus on how good this song is and how powerful of a message it brings across, don’t pick fights in the comments, that just takes away from the message, and PLEASE don’t say anything in the comments that you wouldn’t say to someone face to face
No Longer underrated but Purely Rated amongst the Elite. Substance. Lyricism. Meaning. Dope All Amerikkkan Bada$$ proud of Jay Oh man he's come along way
Cholise Jones I hear a continuation of Tupac. He said he was better than him. He is better informed but he listened to Tupac so perhaps he's that seed Tupac spoke about he hoped to spark
All the trash rappers out their all the mubble rap and you'll reach for drake? Out of all these people you hate drake probably is the only one that COULD if he wanted to...
Alexander Russo reaching again... because I'm not a sheep and jump on this drake hate bandwagon you assume I consider him a great. He maybe a great at what HE does. Which is sell records make money make hits. Regardless lyrically like his AM and PM freestyles...he is not the worst. Just a Easy target... anyway ✊🏾
They wanna play games someone make a playlist with tracks like this...and put it up. Share the link and keep playing on repeat when apple music wants the numbers they will add it ...we can support ourselves! ( learn the system) who's up for a game of chess?
3 years later since this song was released and we're back to where we started. As an Asian-American my heart goes out to the Brothers and Sisters who fell victim to these injustices. I just hope these protests are never brushed off or put to the side in the next coming years.
As a white guy you got me bumpin' this on my porch in the middle of the night fighting off tears, fuck this oppressive system free my people, we're all one people and God as my witness I'll die fighting for your rights to life, liberty, and the persuit of happiness. Joey keep fighting the good fight, it's reassuring to know there are others out there doing it too.
After slavery was abolished, the former slaves were able to choose their own names, and many of them rejected the names their former owners had imposed on them.
"Still got the last names, of our slave owners" powerful
Allie Wonders And they wonder why we're so lost..we don even know our true selves!😭

The music video actually has depth and a lot of meaning and again very symbolic. This is music you can tell a lot of time and thought was put into it. Very high quality production through and throguh
Very well put together Joey been listening to this for 4 years!
his friend just wanted to make the world a better place through music. and he jumped off a building bc he couldnt. my respect for joey is boundless for at least trying
@@ripditoAll we can do is try and even if it ends in death ,at least we tried.
Pac vibes
bruh I'm not the only one! specifically 1:25 - 1:32 reminds me of Pac for some reason, did Pac has a rap where he had that flow? this song is sick though
Biggie
I know my comment wouldn't get seen or reply by many people. But I'm rapper who does not cuss and my rap sound/style would seek your attention. I have much more to show but right now I need you. Music moves everyone closer like family, my music is to create that family. The same way you support me is the same way I support you.. 1luv, together well change the universe one walk at a time.
2013 Jams I love Pac man
2Juiced4Me listen to "me against the world"
why is he so underated ,he has raw talent
Nolecia John ride the same thing%+1114000
hey slowly but surely Kendrick and J cole got there so No Doubt hes gonna be there soon
He chooses not to sign a record deal. He'll be like Chance.
He’s not ...
He's not underrated he just got hot when all these mumble rappers hit the scene. These kids don't respect a lyricist Any more. A good beat and repetition is all they car about. Joey is actully considered in the top 5 vest lyricist ever. Facts
I’m 12, and kids at my school don’t get how this is real hip hop. Not Migos, lil uzi, 6ix9ine, lil pump, playboj carti, cardi b, and all the other mumble rappers that they think is the best. Joey on top #1! He’s my favorite artist. Edit: not here from PewDiePie, here from devastated
Good shit little nigga
Same, they always play Pump or Cardi B on break time, but when I play Eminem's "Lose Yourself", they always yell at me "AUGUST, CUT YOUR STUPID SH*T". It is sad, to see, how hip hop has changed. I'm not judging other people's opinions, I'm just saying.
@@jordanb3120 lmao Exactly hes on the right track.
August ❨0-0❩ bruh you must have played that at a party.
All you oldheads do is hate on whatever is popular because you want hip hop to stay on the same route as the old days and not open up for new forms. I love this shit, but I also love people like migos, Uzi, carti, Travis , Thug, etc. because they make enjoyable music and most kids your age just want to enjoy themselves and not worry about educational hardcore shit like this. Trap music may be different from hip hop but it definitely belongs because it’s given us nothing but enjoyable hip hop.
The power of this song is overlooked, this should've won album of the year 🤞🏽
O bro it should have 💯
*They disorganised my people,*
*made us all loners*
I feel that so strongly, its ridiculous
bro
❤️
They disorganized my people made us all loners, still got the last names of our slave owners
Live to unite not to divide this earth is a body and we are the cells they are those that heal such as Joey here and then there's those who are parasites such as politicians and authority figures. But which one are u ? Are u a healer thats loves doesn't live in fear or destroyer that feeds fear and doesn't know how to love...? The change we want to see in the world is the change we need to be within ourselves.
@@musiccreators6683 i agree 100%

Cainan Sam bruh forreal
7 years later is insane…time flies! Let’s be the change we want to see in the world 🌎 thanks for the reminder Joey.
O bro
The one with the guilty conscience will be the first to not see this as truth
Pool Guy also the numbers and facts will keep this from being truth. the wrong message is being preached to the black youth. It's ruining people's futures.
Mdub Skate and what message is that?
So you read my post and responded accordingly... point proven!
I agree with you, victimhood has been killing the black community since the 1900s
Alartificallntellige please explain, id love to learn more about your theory.
Video is crazy! It's pretty cool seeing Joey perfect his craft over the years.
Luke James Luke! Love the reviews man been watching for awhile
Luke James ayyy nice to see u follow Joey . Love ur reviews btw.
Luke James facts
Not the singer
*perfecting*, he's still got room to grow
Joyner went viral why didn't this go viral 🤔🤔🤔
Because real shit like this never goes viral.
All you gotta do is hit share
joyner is NO joey but Joyer is mixed with jewish white like Drake thats why hes soo popular smh bull shit this is was pire masterpiece
Bangity Preach
Cause Joyner had the shock value of the first verse and had that kumbaya hug shit that liberal centrists eat up.
Coming back to this after what happened at the Capitol yesterday. Crazy how this song still relates today
If you said this was made in the 90s, I would believe you.
I know my comment wont get view or answer by few people. But I am rapper who wont cuss and my rap sound/style would seek your attention. I have lots to show but right now I need you. Music brings us closer like family, my music is to make that family. The same way you support me is the same way I support you.. 1luv, together we can change the world one step at a time.
In May 2020, in the wake of the murder of George Floyd, Apple Music banned this song. Please remember that in the future.
Wow... really? I'm a spotify user
@@SkylineK same always preferred Spotify.
Plz I am listening to the song right now on Apple Music
@isaiah Probably just a fanboy trying to defend their fav brand pathetic imo but oh well
stfu no they didnt
Let's bang this to 100M
FACTS.
3rdNameOfficial YES SPREAD THE TRUTH !
3rdNameOfficial make it fly
IM ABOUT IT BRUH
Marco Materazzi That's not nice mate but you get a W for your SAVAGERY
It's times like this where To Pimp A Butterfly and All AmeriKKKan Bada$$ are the most important and relevant rap albums.
Two of my favorite albums of all times. They are and forever will be relevant, sadly.
i was just listening to to pimp a butterfly
Beat like Biggie, rappin like Pac
You do realize Pac had a very amatuerish rapping style right? Pac was legendary because all his songs had meaning behind it
Drason Vender and you do realize he commented that 5 months ago. You do realize that the point of the comment is saying that joey is a very oldies type rapper and he is amazing.
Just because it was commented a half year ago doesn’t mean anything, Pac’s voice and lyrics was his main draw
Drason Vender Did he say something wrong?
I love how SOME white people take it personal, when a brother calls out the ol' boy network of this country. He's speaking on this country as a whole...not you the individual stupid. If you aren't racist, he isn't spitting bars about you. If you are in denial about how this country works, then that is on you. Much love and respect Joey, for dropping that knowledge on them! When the culture is at its best, is when it is seeking change and justice....the reason it was created in the first place....Peace. #HipHopForever
Preach.
That shit so true
Bryce ! love and respect to you.
Zulu Snem much love!
Nestor Lujan Always!
Yo who came back because of george floyd’s murder and the silencing of joeys music?
Me ✊🏿
Me empower this
Here
Fucking crazy. Censoring his music
Me
Who here in 2024 going in 2025? Take me back to these times
Joey is one of the best lyricists of this generation tbh
Jericho Betts kendrick? but I agree, joey is right up there with k dot. 2 of the best
jaidsalgado truuu Kdot is fosho still top you right
I ain't gone say the best, but he waaaaaaaaaay up there tho.
Blu's new album is pretty disappointing to me tbh.
How many times do I gotta tell you I'm a man on a mission
Many times I gotta tell you I don't need no permission
Or human with supervision, ain't no livin' condition
I'm reaching out to my children, just hoping that they will listen
Steez would be fucking proud man. Not just for Joey, but for how far pro era has come.
Froxic 🙏🏾
Froxic 47 forever
Froxic He is proud
Kyrie Alston and the reach of their message is growing substantially. Steez, I know your watching, we love you bro
bEASTCOST fOEVER
Realizing this is 7 years old is absolutely insane
How about some statistics?
'Joey Bada$$'
Jo-Vaughn Virginie Scott, born January 20, 1995, 22 Years of age.
'Kendrick Lamar'
Kendrick Lamar Duckworth, born June 17, 1987, 29 Years of age.
'J. Cole'
Jermaine Lamarr Cole, born January 28, 1985, 32 Years of age.
And Y'all still sleeping on my young mans? Joey the Goat!
Hones T 💯
Hones T wow that's real talk
Holy Trinity of Rap 2017 Damn!
cole not in the same league as the other two tbh
cyclops336 Not saying he is, just that they are frequently compared. and this gives some perspective
My hip hop and poetry teacher showed the class this and I just remembered how good this was
your teacher is dope!
Your teacher a real one
Imagine having a hip hop teacher... that would be awesome
Check this out Joey badas type beat

Crazy Dope
Get ready for the 9 year old army
Yessss we are already here
y tho??
Arielle majority of 9 yr olds today are retards
Whatchu mean by tht
Lol
Imagine recruiting for the two minute mark. ‘Ayo can you come in on Friday and aim an AK at a black dude?’
"We need you to wear a KKK robe, light a giant wooden cross on fire and stare at it patriotically"
Joey is sooo underrated, he is an amazing rapper, fashion icon and songwritter what else do people want
He needs to be a Producer
And an actor
mr.comics crazy bc he is both of those too 💀
@@River5777 he actually participated in the production of this beat. But he doesn't need to be a producer, not all rappers have to
❤👍👀
CANT CHANGE THE WORLD UNLESS WE CHANGE OURSELVES
savior of old school hip hop
BASS ERA exactly
that's what 'they all' say but I cant perceive it
Hrvatska?
2024 still here deep asf
Ur one of the only rappers that talks about real world problems
Brikz “one of”
@Brikz joyner is 🌽🌽🌽
Vinnie Paz, Snowgoons (Termanology, ill Bill, Statik Selektah), Reks, Logic, Immortal Technique, Lowkey, Sweatshop Union, Killah Priest, MF Doom, Cunninlynguist, Atmosphere, Brother Ali, RA The Rugged Man...list goes on. The same reason why people haven’t heard of them is the same reason i haven’t heard of Joey Bada$$. Real Hip Hop is underground.
@@MezcalRainDance Truth.
@@arloheskett why u people find joyner corny?
My boy steez bumping this in the clouds r.i.p
bonglord boy LONG LIVE STEELO !!!!
bonglord boy unfortunatly people who commited suicide go to hell according to bible
It aint about where you go when you die, it's about what you did when you were alive
Joey killed capital and made it look like a suicide, don't let them fool you
Matheus Reis you do not understand how stupid you are right now.
"Still got the last names, of our slave owners" Damn dude.
Monstar even those light skinned WHITES in trump land by the river but don't know their past
The mental slavery of just being AFRICAN-American is still a problem though.
Rayy King I wouldn't call it mental slavery but yeah people are fucked sometimes
White people slaves too they just dumb and don't realize it. Plus whites came from albinoism. I'm white just woke. All people on earth are related just Satan deceives.
Also where do you think any of our names came from? They gave us names to imply corporate title.
this song helped me in juvenile detention had my counselor print these lyrics for me
Keep it lit bud & stay on the straight and narrow. God bless 👍🏽
Joey never dissapoints. All Amerikkkan Badass boutta be the best album of this decade
ThatRandomDude devestated was a little bit disapointing in my opinion
+KawaiiElricYT joey can't make a feel good song for the times he used to struggle? you've never struggled before?? can you not relate to that song???
^ facts
i hate niggas who think every single fucking song has to have a boombap beat and god level triple entendres. shut the fuck up. the song was beautifully produced and written and even got him hella popularity. i honestly don't see how that could be disappointing
The closest thing to Tupac we have. Thank you joey.
listen to king lil g
true!
Leon Cruz umm..... kendrick lamar??
better rapper than tupac
Torin ummm?
this song and joey are gonna be both recognised as classics of the rap game soon, he's not the future. He is the present!
sean mcmahon word bro
You know what? I agree
Everyone in the comments just needs to focus on how good this song is and how powerful of a message it brings across, don’t pick fights in the comments, that just takes away from the message, and PLEASE don’t say anything in the comments that you wouldn’t say to someone face to face
If the messanger is a backstabbed it means nothing
No Longer underrated but Purely Rated amongst the Elite. Substance. Lyricism. Meaning. Dope
All Amerikkkan Bada$$
proud of Jay Oh man he's come along way
Sean STROMAN he woke
Still underrated
I can hear Tupac in him. Anybody else?
He's spittin wisdom & straight facts.... tryna wake ppl up. Its like "Activist Music" 2Pac had music like that too
INEEDUTOWAKEUP I see
Cholise Jones I hear a continuation of Tupac. He said he was better than him. He is better informed but he listened to Tupac so perhaps he's that seed Tupac spoke about he hoped to spark
100
Joey has said that he grew up listening to Pac so it's no surprise
drake couldn't make a song like this if he tried
Alexander Russo you mean his ghostwriters couldn't 😂😂😂
Romy Taylor just throwing shade... like you did on my comment.
Alexander Russo Thank you my nigga
All the trash rappers out their all the mubble rap and you'll reach for drake? Out of all these people you hate drake probably is the only one that COULD if he wanted to...
Alexander Russo reaching again... because I'm not a sheep and jump on this drake hate bandwagon you assume I consider him a great. He maybe a great at what HE does. Which is sell records make money make hits. Regardless lyrically like his AM and PM freestyles...he is not the worst. Just a Easy target... anyway ✊🏾
This is what happens when you’re prepared for the test.
man this sooo underated
Rasheek Faiz I'm sayinnng
Rasheek Faiz the songs that have a great message are underrated
Who is listening after the George Floyd incident? They tried to take his music off of Apple Music this is not a coincidence WAKE UPPPPP ❗️❗️❗️
murder*
i can't believe they called it an incident
Facts
They wanna play games someone make a playlist with tracks like this...and put it up. Share the link and keep playing on repeat when apple music wants the numbers they will add it ...we can support ourselves! ( learn the system) who's up for a game of chess?
3 years later since this song was released and we're back to where we started. As an Asian-American my heart goes out to the Brothers and Sisters who fell victim to these injustices. I just hope these protests are never brushed off or put to the side in the next coming years.
Joey is underrated. To whoever is sleeping on joey, Hopefully this will open your eyes
I heard this song when I was 16, now I’m almost 21 and this song still and always will be relevant no matter what era I’m in.
The 3K that disliked: KKK
Yikes
Nah, its the friends of the neo-nazi he killed xD
Fuck the kkk
What's the KKK?
LastRyte or it was to graphic
Who is here after THE MURDER of George Floyd? May his soul rest in peace.
R.i.p George
Right here
Rest easy George floyd
🕊🕊he's in heaven now.
been about this song since it dropped, always thought it was visionary, but this week has had me thinking on it
The media should take notice that the "nazi" pewdiepie just promoted one of the best (and anti-racism) rap songs.
Remember that time he donated for indian kids? And no mainstream media talked about it ? Smh
However he said the N word
@@imjustmekai6176 so? It's just a word. I think only actions count.
Lucifer McSatan speaking is an action
Did he actually gave a shout-out to some neo Nazi channel?
Tupac would be proud of this man
As a white guy you got me bumpin' this on my porch in the middle of the night fighting off tears, fuck this oppressive system free my people, we're all one people and God as my witness I'll die fighting for your rights to life, liberty, and the persuit of happiness. Joey keep fighting the good fight, it's reassuring to know there are others out there doing it too.
87isbmw ..i apreciate u for that I love u brother
87isbmw I’m a foreigner too and I’ve got them streaming down my face. This track is so moving.
Hit em with that kdot stumble at 1:25
LJ 10 i was thinking the same thing😂😂
LJ 10 let the nigga stumble without being compared to Kendrick
Ben Dova He is influenced by Kendrick so of course the comparison. Thats out his own mouth.
That shit is disturbingly lit
If he knew anything about true hip-hop he'd be comparing the stumble to Busta not Kdot..
'Still got the last name of our slave owners" shit gave me chills!!
Steez shit is true tho my last name hill I found out it's From England
After slavery was abolished, the former
slaves were able to choose their own names, and many of them rejected
the names their former owners had imposed on them.
That doesn't make it any less inhumane...
Steez real shit..
Kanhwiyonne slave owners are evil
You’re a real one if you here in 2021
AABA gonna be a classic, no doubt!
BlackOut
+1 like for that RTJ profile pic
Don't jinx it!
God damn... and y'all saying Joey fell off? He ain't even reach his prime yet.
Jonathan Park that's the scary part. 1999 and B4DA$$ are classics already.
Jonathan Park they just don't wanna see him grow
Jonathan Park Who is y'all?
Hashoa R. 1999 is a Classic, timeless. I don't believe B4.DA.$$ is a classic tho
badass definitely wasn't a classic. it was ok, too much reggae for my liking.
THIS IS FOR GEORGE FLOYD

@@abdihakimhashi8621 but its true tho he did have drugs, its not like he's the angel everyone is making him out to be
