    Joyner is a great story teller. "Ross Cappichioni" is a great example.

    Joyner Lucas has another emotional rap video you should check out based off a true story “Ross Capicchioni.”
    There’s also an interview of Ross in a separate video “Skateboarder’s Unbelievable Survival Story | Ross Capicchioni” for additional perspective. In my opinion, the interview pairs really well after watching the song.

I was close to death in my drug addiction and I'm glad I survived it. My daughter is 3 and I am going on 7 years sober and I can't believe I almost missed this beautiful opportunity to be a father to such a special little girl. It's not worth the cost and you will go when it's your time and until then focus on you and what makes you and your family happy because there is nothing more important. Thank you for this reaction.

    Joyner is amazing story teller and in general with his lyrics he’s one of a kind. And for my two cents literally a very humble human being for someone at his level of fame and money. He was in my town and a club was promoting him since he’ll be there. I painted a canvas of him and came to the club, the owner loved it and brought it all out with his bottle service in the middle of the club and he immediately asked if the artist was there and had his camp come get me and have me in his section with him. Man made my day and expressed how much my art made his trip worth it

  • @jackgreensmith377
    @jackgreensmith377 2 роки тому +35

    Joyner is an amazing artist. Some more of his music i would definitely recommend would be "im not racist" it covers the typical stereotypes that people percieve each other, sharing their views. Also, "Ross capicchioni" it is based on a true story so i dont know how easy it would be for you to react to it but its an incredible story

    • @Rayvn7
      @Rayvn7 Рік тому

      .....It literally doesn't. It literally has a black character who's personality is exactly the real personality of the real black people that caused racism against black people. And has a white character who is someone who literally doesn't even exist and who says only false "points" that zero non-racists who dislike BLM ever say because the actual problems about BLM are completely unrelated to that. People with the white character's personality do exist, but they exist in white, black, and Indian, and their target is "all homeless people" and "all teenagers who act like teenagers", with absolutely zero of it to do with anybody's race and absolutely zero has to do "stereotypical ghetto personality", although people with this personality would also complain about anyone who sells or uses drugs. The race which has the opinion of the white character most often, might be Arab; at least all Arabs I've met who don't harass me as a female, every single one of them has said the things that that white character says. Joyner Lucas should watch Tom McDonald so that he knows what the actual criticisms of BLM and ghetto people are rather then falsely pretending that it is "because they do not work in an office" or whatever.

    There's so much symbolism in all of this. Even the track cover. The one black rose in the middle of the red ones. Roses are beautiful and generally give a happy feeling, but that black rose takes that away. Just like in a group of happy people, that black rose, the one who doesn't get help and decides to commit suicide, makes it a sad picture. Joyner puts everything into these and they come out as works of art.

It has a wild ability to lift both persons out of that pit. I understand that asking for help seems like it takes the strength of 100 men, but you can do this. Too many people love you.

    I want to thank you for releasing this reaction. I’ve battled with depression and suicidal thoughts for a very long time… after my last attempt a few years ago, I found this song and play it when ever I find myself in those situations.
    I remember waking up in the hospital and seeing the hurt and confusion on my brothers face… and the fact that he was angry, not with me, but with himself for not knowing how to help me or what to do… the second part of this song in some way helps just bring that memory back and reminds me that I have a reason to keep going. That I have people that do love me and that I can’t let down.
    Years later and this same brother is now a dad. And I can’t help but remind myself that I very nearly gave up the chance to meet my niece and love this little girl and be the best uncle I can be for her.
    Depression is very real… but so are the people that love and support us. We have reasons to take another breath. To keep fighting. To keep living.

    This is a hard song for me, I struggle with severe depression everyday & you are absolutely right...I have to tell myself everyday "I can get through this day, I'm not going to quit." Its not easy, it sucks and it hurts. Having the right people makes all the difference in the world. I wouldnt be alive if it wasnt for my parents, my wife and my therapist. And yet even having that support there are times were that feels like its not enough. Those times....those times are when you come face to face with your inner demons and you have to have the strength to reach out for help because if you dont they will swallow you whole. Another song that promotes suicide prevention and awareness is Logics' 1-800, beautiful song but hard to get through.

I am no psychologist but your expression shows me you have been through trauma that relates to most of these reactions hense the passion you show while reacting. I hope things are better for you buddy and I am thankful for how you share sympathetic wisdom to us strangers/subscribers whilst masking pain yourself.

    Man, that was a heavy one. And that number of suicides is sickening. I just have to wonder HOW many could have been saved if someone would just have the guts to ask "How are you?" or just to reach out an arm to let the other person know that you see him/her. You "just" have to be strong enough to tackle an honest answer. And I think THAT is what's causing the hesitation really. Or maybe even the fear of being met by anger. You just have to be mentally strong enough to actually DO it. Just remember that your action may save someone's life. That should make it all worth while. Right ? Hmm... It's a very difficult topic, without an easy or obvious answer (though it should be). I keep experiencing my mind spinning in circles, and feel that my answers come right back at me, ready to hit me in the face. As if to say "Oh yeah? It's THAT easy? I'll show you something.." That is my full circle. The SAFE circle, where I have been so many times before in my mind. I just hope I'll be strong enough to dodge that blow and break the circle when and if I'm faced with it.
    I think your reaction was absolutely great, and I'm not one second in doubt if you did the right thing posting it. It helps raise awareness, which is always a good thing.
    Take care, Chris !

    • @larryshair
      @larryshair  2 роки тому +9

      Thanks man. Sometimes, people that find themselves caught in these thoughts benefit from reaching out to others that have the same issue. Helping others and being able to relate to where they are and that you can empathize let's that person know they aren't alone, and that act of reaching out can help raise them out of that same pit. So many think they are alone and that nobody could understand where they are in their lives. That's the sad part. It can take the strength of ten elephants to reach out and say that a person needs help. It's a very dark and scary place to be left with your thoughts. I almost didn't release this reaction. I really struggled with this decision. I really appreciate your confirming that it was the right thing to do. Thanks brother!

    Man , your words about loss really hit me in a soft spot . At one point I went through similar thoughts and this song just happened to come into my life , and I won’t go as far to say it helped me through those issues when I felt them, but I definitely revisited this song over and over to express myself when I was alone because it touched a ton of the thoughts I felt ..
    granted I’m far past those emotions , but at that time the feelings were unavoidable .
    I’ve been digging through your reactions , and I love how genuine you are . Keep digging into this kind of music, it opens eyes to millions , and I hope you find the same value in the sound.
    Your reactions are great . 💙

    Two very important people in my life have taken this route or made this choice. I have still never really been able to answer the question of, “Why would they think that?” “Why would we be happy without them?” These questions circle my head many times, everyday being reminded of what I’ve lost. This song is a great representation of how it feels. Joyner has been one of my favorite artists for a long time, he writes from the heart, he says things that nobody really seems to deliver in their songs, nobody talks about this stuff like him. Summary; he’s a great artist, love his work, what he does, and “I’m Not Racist” is a great song by him. But the one thing I want to say is, don’t do it, there may not be a clear cut way to get through the darkness, but that doesn’t mean you can’t see light. Don’t do it.

    I'm very glad you released this reaction. In a very lonely and scary world, you bring a gentle warmth and kind energy that can be seen with your reactions to these hard topics. Although I do not struggle with depression I can literally feel others pain (ever since I was a child) and I my life's mission is to help others, close the divide with love, that's my core belief. It's so refreshing and renews my faith in others to watch such genuine reactions from you. Please know that makes a difference.
    If you haven't already, I'm slowing watching all your reaction videos. I think Hozier- Take me to Church, you will find powerful. That song gives me chills every time I watch it.

It's no accident that this was your reaction; it was made to spread love and kindness to those who need to see it, just as you picked up about Robin Williams before he said it.

    I struggle with depression. Been fighting for 7 yrs but every day is a struggle and I am still fighting. I have scars where I need to get stitched up. It gets exhausting. And everyday for regular ppl is like 10 times heavier. I still struggle. At one point I lost hope on humanity and the purpose of my life. I gave up I was in a dark place. But what keeps me going is I do want a family 👪 one day and I will raise my kids to be good to ppl and for them to raise there kids caring for other. And thats why I keep fighting after yrs and yrs and see hope and purpose in my life.. I been through things like legal problems not being there for my first born feeling alone. A few yrs ago I burned my legs by accident. I constantly get night terrors of all the situations and sometimes I don't sleep for days just to avoid the night terrors. I feel like sometimes it get over whelping the pain and suffering for just one person and I rather dispenser it. I not going to lie I had those thoughts. I have realized that I rather deal my pain my self than let go to everyone around me. I came to realize of all the ppl that do care about me .. that look up to me.that will look up to me. I give them inspiration to stay strong. If I can do it they can to. We are strong together rather than standing alone. Seek help it will get better 🙏

    My fiance. May 2016. Memorial Day weekend. I know that we’re supposed to “remember the ones not here”, but JFC, how do you tell the world that the person you loved more than you love yourself... decided that ending his pain was more important than his soon-to-be-wife? Than his two kids (not mine, previous relationship)? How do you tell the world “oh, yeah, he existed, but now he doesn’t”, when most of the world woudln’t even be able to pick him out of a line-up? How do you go thru the rest of your life, knowing that you weren’t good enough to stop him?
    My therapist says that I shouldn’t blame myself. Most of the time, I listen to him, & I’m ok. Put on the mask, go out in public, pretend that everything is fine. Smile, smile, smile, make sure you don’t ever make anyone else feel uncomfortable. Go home, take off the mask, & grab the cat, hoping to keep the memories at bay for... just a little while. Just a little while longer. Hoping that this year... maybe this year I can get thru the end of May without wanting to curl into a ball in my closet, & try to muffle screams that threaten to rip my vocal cords to shreds... maybe this year I can finally tell the world “no, I’m not ok. I haven’t been ok for a very long time, & I can’t find my way out of the darkness in my mind.”
    Maybe this year.

      I can't even begin to imagine. There are so many out there that need help and sometimes, when you are in a position like you are and have been in, sometimes finding a person that is dealing with what you have been dealing with is sometimes very helpful. I really believe that God allows us to experience these things in life so we can relate to others that have been through what we have been through so we can truly empathize with others and lend that shoulder to cry on. Imagine you were the only person in this world that experienced this. What lonely place. But there are others that have found the strength to move on and rise above it. You can be that person to help others that are experiencing things that you have dealt with. You will soon find that 1. You're not alone. 2. You have so very much to offer to others that in turn, will help them find their path. Remember, a diamond can only be created with heat and extreme pressure. Blessings my dear friend.

      @@larryshair I’m actually working on my masters in Psych. A little of “physician, heal thyself” in that decision. I can’t save him. I can’t save the millions worldwide who are lost to their darkness. But maybe, between my schooling & my therapist, I can finally figure out how to lead others back into the light. Even if I only save one or two, that’s still one or two that can look back on the trauma & go “you tried to kill me, but i’m still here, bitch.”
      I just need to figure out how to say that to my own darkness, & mean it.
      As an aside, Icon For Hire’s song “Hollow” actually might be a good song to maybe cleanse how deep these last few of yours have been. Any of their stuff from “You Can’t Kill Us” on (so, 2016 & after) has some really good stuff in it. Their most recent album “Amorphous” is one that I have colloquially started calling “a middle finger to the demons in your head”.
