worth considering the difference in your reactions between the two…if you find yourself hating one side and smiling for the other means you may be contributing to the sentiments expressed in the song.
It's a good start to a conversation, but nah man. I ain't hugging no white man that calls me the n word with the hard r, and then says he wants to know my side of the story. Best he gets is a head nod from me, I ain't touchin that man
Joyner is mid af. This song isn’t helpful at all. This white guy is clearly racist af and the message is meet in the middle? Listen to their thoughts too? Their racist why would we listen? You don’t get freedom from letting your oppressors deciding what’s best for us, cause they’ll never give up the power they have. This is a centrist song for people that think we just need to come together and everything is fixed.
Dude fr ur the only white person I’ve seen in these comments who isn’t coping about how they reacted to the black side. Like being laid into doesn’t get you upset and seeing ur people stand up for you doesn’t make you smile
"Feel your feels"! Perfectly written! I trust that within myself. I believe something/someone whatever it may be is real when it makes me feel. Thanks for that comment Michael.
The sad part about this video is that they didn't complain about the 2nd half. The song was meant to show a stereotype of hating blacks and then a stereotype of hating whites. They caught the first half just fine, but then they stopped. What these two did was cheer on the 2nd part instead of recognizing it as racism against whites. It makes me sad.
It's funny, isn't it. In a way, I feel like that's a big part of what Joyner is actually trying to portray in this video. Both white and black people at times and in different circles view each other in some pretty nasty ways, but until we come together and get over these preconceived notions of one another the hate on both sides will continue to fester.
Yeah its a problem. A problem which i though the song did an excellent job of highlighting but obviously the people reacting to the song missed (the older guy more than the younger one as he tried to speak his mind but you could tell he didn't want to disappoint the older guy by having a different opinion). The older guy reacting to this song is everything wrong with racial relations in America. This guy is bias and hell and the typical black victim card player.
@@david-kc5hrI honestly have never had a racist feeling against blacks or any other type of Human. As a white person in Alabama most of my life, I've never once caved to any social pressure to support racist remarks or actions. People have got to start having the proverbial balls to Think and speak for themselves or we will never socially advance as a species!
Not sure if anyone has said it already but the actors in the video are two of his friends that he personally asked to perform the roles. Love the video breakdown yall did. Joyner loves to make music and videos that make you think and step back a bit.
@@modelotime3608 right, instead of contemplating on what he said and maybe adding something of substance and meaning from your own life and experiences you've had, might as well just point a finger and blame centuries long dead people and say "they did it"! I mean, fuck trying to add to a discussion and maybe have a conversation, god forbid you may learn or hear something new or interesting. Or even worse, imagine someone hearing you speak on your own lived and learned experiences and them having the chance to maybe have their eyes opened to something they were ignorant of or learning something of substance from you. Fuck all that huh, just comment a throw away "blame the whites" line and move on since u may get a like or two. I know it sounds like im being a prick, but I've heard and seen that same line, maybe worded different or even the same, so many times that i immediately brush past and and regretfully judge the person who left it, when i would really love to actually have a conversation with you and learn something from you. I'd bet, that just as ive lived a life that is pretty original and worked all over the country and met all types so as that I know I could tell you some stories that would at the very least entertain you, if not maybe you'd hear something new and learn about something u werent aware youd even want to know. Same as I bet you've had a life that is unique and youve probably seen and done shit that i never have or woulda thought to, and u may have some stories and thoughts I'd be interested in hearing about. Don't sell urself short with throwaway lines, I know you have to be a more interesting person with more interesting thoughts than just that line. Sorry for the novel. And please don't misunderstand me, I in no way mean disrespect or say all that in bad faith. Just how I feel when i see a line like that. Hope you have a good day sir

@@Ghost-airlinesI get what you're saying but I disagree at least a little. In my opinion you fight for your family first. Loved ones and friends included, but it can't stop there.

Family comes first but once the bullets start flying around them, and you get them to safety, I believe we go back to help the rest. I can't always be around to help my family but I'm always somewhere where I can help somebody else's family, and I expect somebody else to stand up and help mine. Some things only work when reciprocated. That's how I see it anyhow. Take it easy.
seeing the generational reaction as dad and son is so cool, how the dads seems more up to argue or state issues , and while agreeing the son is a little more understanding and open to the arguement. This new genration shows the signs of understanding perspective. We could end it all, we speak up, but have the capability to come out with empathy.
2:40 I'm white, my family comes from Norway, I didn't benefit from slavery, I've been poor all my life, my skin color didn't do anything for me... yet people want me to pay *because* of my skin color?

The Actors in the video are also childhood friends who agreed to participate in this. at least thats what ive been told/read in other comments and choose to believe because it adds another amazing layer to this.
At first some of “pops” comments started to ignite the petty defensive wish it wasn’t there part of my brain. Until his charm and personality allowed me to hear him. That’s the ugly part of these discussions it triggers a primal reaction to defend ourselves and the second you feel that, your useless because your brain becomes an exit only vessel, using our mouths as an ignorant blunt instrument. My grandfather, taught me when I’m about to lose my temper to write it down and then read it back to myself. You’ll be surprised to see how angry you get at your own words that you wrote down in a rage. When we are angry and defensive we are really the dumbest and ugliest versions of ourselves. I love what you guys are doing here and I thank you for wisdom and knowledge you have shared with me. Keep up the good work
this song and video is so beautiful in its own way. the end will always get me. and i LOVE how your father expresses how he feels in this. loved this reaction
First time seeing your channel and this was a great reaction! Your dad is the man haha I’m a white man with two younger (adopted) black brothers from Uganda and I can promise you we have much more in common than we do different. It’s all about love and understanding
This made me cry. The power of the message, the way he delivered it, the way the actors performance helped further drive the emotion in just hits so different. Wonderful way to speak on racism and helping both sides be heard when no one will listen.
The illest part of this song is that both makes sense in their arguments, both are right, and both sides makes amendment in the end. People nowadays likes to lock themselves in bubbles, when actually, we are all here to stay. Black People, White People, Asian People and every other race is here to stay. We better figure out how to live together or everyone will lose.
Yeah but that's just how the world works, I think stereotyping is almost ok. But it doesn't mean you don't treat someone with respect, give them the opportunity to prove these things wrong. I work in a physically demanding job and most women can't do it (hell most men cant), but that doesn't mean we wouldn't let a woman into the department. All have transitioned back to their previous area, we have one woman who's been doing it for 20 years. No one thought she could do it, and she proved them wrong. Even I am a reasonable small, fit man and everyone thought I wouldn't make it. But those things don't measure effort and willingness to do what ever it takes. It's only when we let stereotypes cloud are judgement or make us treat people inadequate, that when stereotypes become a problem. *Ted Talk Out
I think dad needs to revisit this song. He went into this song with a negative mindset and really never got the message of the song I feel like he saw red from the first verse and made his reaction of the second verse feel like "That'll show you" reaction
Please do Joyner and Eminem- Lucky You 🔥 It really shows his rapping range. Also, should do the first Devils Work by Joyner 🔥 Oh, and he doesn't have a huge push from the industry bc he's independent.
The reason that hug hits so hard is because its the most powerful thing in the world. Humanity. We are the book ends of a beautiful spectrum, us, black and white. We two sides of the same coin. If we can ever come together, there is no governing force that would be able to stop us. And they are scared of that.
Coming back to that song every now and then, this time I found that reaction. I just wish the boy would have said more. Gen Z in large parts is depoliticized, which is incredibly dangerous in itself, not even mentioning the times we live in
Yes pops...I knew you'd get it off rip lol. Both sides have points that are accurate. Accountability and open communication is the answer here. Not censorship and all this extremist crap going on today.
I’m a white Irish man and I’ve been writing poetry and spoken work for almost 15 years and I loved seeing your dads reaction go from being immediately on edge because of how well the actor played his part in the first verse to championing the second verse (the way Joyner obviously planned it) great reaction dudes big love from Ireland!
Religion was divisive up until we had countries that allowed freedom of religion. To my knowledge the Mongolian Empire was the only empire or kingdom from the past that allowed freedom of religion, then America came along Religion teaches you to respect all life, doesn't matter if it's a person or a bunny rabbit. It's the principal of it.
This is typed out before i watch this video… but i love seeing 2 generations experience this. Great reaction yall. Edit: 6:35 you nailed it, joyner is one of a kind. Glad yall were catching the small messages meanwhile focusing and making points on the bigger picture of this video.
best channel on youtube, love the messages pops puts out at the end in each video 😂like you guys got structure and creativeness with your videos and thats what differentiates you from the rest 🔥🔥
Both sides are powerful messages and very well executed, I love every bit of this. the facts, the anger, the frustration and even the love and understanding for each other at the end are beautiful to see.❤💯
That hug at the end is powerful. We're so caught up in labeling each other. By hating and demonizing each other we're only driving the wedge deeper. We need unity and understanding. People see someone's skin color and automatically lumps them into one big group, which they paint with a wide brush. Things aren't black and white; there are shades of gray in there. The only people calling me racist, sexist, homophobic, etc (every buzz-word) are those that don't actually know me. They love me until they discover my views. Nobody should have to prove that they're not those hateful things (certain individuals feel the need to 24/7 on social media), the evidence speaks for itself. That shouldn't be the default.
Good art makes you feel something. Anger, love, sympathy, empathy, hate, pride, sad, mad, disappointment, hope, fear...anything. Joyner a true artist💯💯💯
I had never heard this song but I watched your review cause it popped up and this song is a message that the world needs. Everyone has their own thoughts on other people instead of just sitting down and listening to
Who benefited from the system?! Someone is assuming majority of people were slave owners and they actually benefited from it. Almost every free black man was actually a slave owner. So who should be paying who?!
Joyner is one of the top MCs of his time. Also the stuff he talks about and his word play will always make him a top rapper of his generation. He's just not popular like Drake but one of my favorite rappers. Its not mumble rap or trap rap. Politics and point of views in rap lol its great
this is some real shit. I'm white and my best friend is black. We didn't meet until we were adults so never really saw any struggles he had, just knew he had a nice house and nice family like I did. Thought all this shit was bs until we one day broke down and kinda let off on each other about this type of thing. We hugged it out just like in the video and we both grew. Shit hits hard man, we just gotta hear both sides of the story, we all a product of this fucked up world and no ones to blame but the system that fucked it all up.
Thomas Sowell is someone you guys should look up. He's not a music artist but he is so smart and research so many things, one being about how there are different cultures and why some are considered more successful than others.
This hits HARD! physically and mentally, some of us do know the struggle now a days we're all in poverty I've been denied jobs cause of my tattoos and inexperience I'm almost 30 and no one is giving me the chance to get any experience, I grew up damn near wishing I had more than bread to eat but damn the kool aid hit! if we had enough sugar to put in it tho!!!!
What I don't agree with for this particular music video is the insinuation that only black people live in an economic "frying pan." I grew up lower income while my parents were young. My mother was attending college (first gen) and they both worked to pay her way. For the first 12 years of my life my dad juggled two jobs to keep food on our table. His hands were beat up so bad from the manual labor gig he sometimes couldn't close them. On the weekdays he slept a few hours between jobs. I remember once winter my mom wore duct tape in her shoe so she could buy me a new pair because I had grown out of mine. She paid her student loans for YEARS which meant she went "without" so we could have a lot. And they made sure to send all three of us girls to college. My dad finally went back to school for what he was really gifted to do- computer programming. He died at 45 in a car accident before he could really enjoy the fruits of his labor. We came from nothing, had nothing, and people treated us like nothing. (But it keeps us humble to remember) Fast forward to now; my husband and I own a home, and are busy raising two daughters who will, God willing, never know what the "end of a check" fear feels like. I am where I am because the sacrifices of my parents, my grandparents, my great-grandparents and so on who came here in rags as Irish immigrants and worked their way out of utter poverty so I could give my children something. I'm proud of them and their struggle... their bravery. We as Americans need to be future minded, Christ dependent, and compassionate to ALL people because we never know what their situation is. Humanity is a shared and universal experience no matter the ethnicity. I look forward to Heaven where none on this will stand between me and my global family. ❤
This music video is based on stereotypes not reality. It actually highlights that the majority of society believes in stereotypes. It’s really a socio-economic thing
now react to I'm Sorry. Easily his best song still imo, I wish he still tried to make proper hooks like this. All his deep stuff after is good for one listen, but not to put in the playlist, I'm Sorry is
The power in this song is about listening to both sides. Not just agree with the ideas that reinforce your beliefs and getting out of your comfort zone to understand the other side. It would be interesting to see how you would feel if a white man reacted to it and had the same response as pops but in reverse.
Yes! The only way to solve any issue is honest conversations! It's how we can come to understanding of why each other feels, or believes, what they do. We don't have to agree. But if we understand, we can respect. And if we respect, we can meet in the middle to reach mutually acceptable solutions!
i will NEVER take any form of responsibility cause of what happened and me being white and if ANY person of color got an issue with that we can press that on the streets
I say were all humans a part of humanity who live here together. Sink tone and ethnicity don't change that, and it never will. I personally would love to see a world where we can all work together and love each other like were all cousins that never met. Much love to everyone including you two
I just found this video I love the chemistry, and vibe you and your pops. Give off I loved this reaction as well, big love and support from the UK! 😎🔥🙌
worth considering the difference in your reactions between the two…if you find yourself hating one side and smiling for the other means you may be contributing to the sentiments expressed in the song.

No way y’all actually got to this 😁🔥🔥 been waiting for this since I discovered the channel! Keep up y’all hard work, we appreciate y’all 🙏🏼🖤
This made me cry. The power of the message, the way he delivered it, the way the actors performance helped further drive the emotion in just hits so different. Wonderful way to speak on racism and helping both sides be heard when no one will listen.
Beautiful comment.
I was waiting for this 🔥🔥 thank u
Smokin Von Tho🚬😮💨😁

Do Joyner “I’m Sorry”….Guarantee your pops will love it 💪🏾
The illest part of this song is that both makes sense in their arguments, both are right, and both sides makes amendment in the end.
People nowadays likes to lock themselves in bubbles, when actually, we are all here to stay. Black People, White People, Asian People and every other race is here to stay.
We better figure out how to live together or everyone will lose.
No matter what your skin color is NONE of us want to be stereotyped because of our skin color! 💯🙌🏼
Yeah but that's just how the world works, I think stereotyping is almost ok. But it doesn't mean you don't treat someone with respect, give them the opportunity to prove these things wrong.
I work in a physically demanding job and most women can't do it (hell most men cant), but that doesn't mean we wouldn't let a woman into the department. All have transitioned back to their previous area, we have one woman who's been doing it for 20 years. No one thought she could do it, and she proved them wrong. Even I am a reasonable small, fit man and everyone thought I wouldn't make it. But those things don't measure effort and willingness to do what ever it takes.
It's only when we let stereotypes cloud are judgement or make us treat people inadequate, that when stereotypes become a problem.

I think dad needs to revisit this song. He went into this song with a negative mindset and really never got the message of the song I feel like he saw red from the first verse and made his reaction of the second verse feel like "That'll show you" reaction
It’s a really well put together video and very thought provoking, Joyner is great story teller!
Please do Joyner and Eminem- Lucky You 🔥 It really shows his rapping range. Also, should do the first Devils Work by Joyner 🔥 Oh, and he doesn't have a huge push from the industry bc he's independent.
The reason that hug hits so hard is because its the most powerful thing in the world. Humanity. We are the book ends of a beautiful spectrum, us, black and white. We two sides of the same coin. If we can ever come together, there is no governing force that would be able to stop us. And they are scared of that.
You can tell pops is a good man, he went through alllllll the emotions lol!!
Coming back to that song every now and then, this time I found that reaction. I just wish the boy would have said more. Gen Z in large parts is depoliticized, which is incredibly dangerous in itself, not even mentioning the times we live in
Yes yes yes I've been waiting on pops to react to this. I knew he would love this... I'm always interested in you explaining thank you again....
Yes pops...I knew you'd get it off rip lol. Both sides have points that are accurate. Accountability and open communication is the answer here. Not censorship and all this extremist crap going on today.
I’m a white Irish man and I’ve been writing poetry and spoken work for almost 15 years and I loved seeing your dads reaction go from being immediately on edge because of how well the actor played his part in the first verse to championing the second verse (the way Joyner obviously planned it) great reaction dudes big love from Ireland!
I like the insights your Dad gives in between the video pauses - what a a song AND MESSAGE! ✝️ 🇺🇸
I was waiting on this one 🔥
We need more Joyner
Pops in orange looking more like a skinny Suge Knight than ever before 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's cold lololol
Ts just made me spit my water out lmfao
Religion was divisive up until we had countries that allowed freedom of religion. To my knowledge the Mongolian Empire was the only empire or kingdom from the past that allowed freedom of religion, then America came along Religion teaches you to respect all life, doesn't matter if it's a person or a bunny rabbit. It's the principal of it.
Im a 38 year old man from Alabama.
I love your Dad. The way he expresses his thoughts and puts his words together is fantastic
Glad you guys found Joyner. You guys are great. Pops was munching hard the madder he got lol. #devilsworkpart1
This is typed out before i watch this video… but i love seeing 2 generations experience this. Great reaction yall.
Edit: 6:35 you nailed it, joyner is one of a kind. Glad yall were catching the small messages meanwhile focusing and making points on the bigger picture of this video.

best channel on youtube, love the messages pops puts out at the end in each video 😂like you guys got structure and creativeness with your videos and thats what differentiates you from the rest 🔥🔥
Ye, now they just need to learn how to cut and sync a video as well:) Maybe that's where you start? xD
Both sides are powerful messages and very well executed, I love every bit of this. the facts, the anger, the frustration and even the love and understanding for each other at the end are beautiful to see.❤💯
Your dad was speaking that knowledge. Great reactions. That's what these videos are for to hear your guys thoughts.
I love how he just sits back and lets his dad speak his mind 😂❤
I knew this video was gonna be long🤣 shout out mr popstick
Pops seeing red while the other side of the table.. “that’s facts, that’s true”
That hug at the end is powerful. We're so caught up in labeling each other. By hating and demonizing each other we're only driving the wedge deeper. We need unity and understanding. People see someone's skin color and automatically lumps them into one big group, which they paint with a wide brush. Things aren't black and white; there are shades of gray in there. The only people calling me racist, sexist, homophobic, etc (every buzz-word) are those that don't actually know me. They love me until they discover my views. Nobody should have to prove that they're not those hateful things (certain individuals feel the need to 24/7 on social media), the evidence speaks for itself. That shouldn't be the default.
Good art makes you feel something. Anger, love, sympathy, empathy, hate, pride, sad, mad, disappointment, hope, fear...anything. Joyner a true artist💯💯💯
You’re not a victim, you benefit from this American system like the rest of us.
... Ignorant comment
... whose gonna tell em.. systemic racism is still a thing 😬🫤😭
We needddddd quando album
Nah fr
Factsss tho
We need quando album don't starve us
On bro!
Finally we’ve been waiting Josh Took you longer enough
I had never heard this song but I watched your review cause it popped up and this song is a message that the world needs. Everyone has their own thoughts on other people instead of just sitting down and listening to
Who benefited from the system?! Someone is assuming majority of people were slave owners and they actually benefited from it.
Almost every free black man was actually a slave owner.
So who should be paying who?!
Joyner is one of the top MCs of his time. Also the stuff he talks about and his word play will always make him a top rapper of his generation. He's just not popular like Drake but one of my favorite rappers. Its not mumble rap or trap rap. Politics and point of views in rap lol its great
this is some real shit. I'm white and my best friend is black. We didn't meet until we were adults so never really saw any struggles he had, just knew he had a nice house and nice family like I did. Thought all this shit was bs until we one day broke down and kinda let off on each other about this type of thing. We hugged it out just like in the video and we both grew. Shit hits hard man, we just gotta hear both sides of the story, we all a product of this fucked up world and no ones to blame but the system that fucked it all up.
we need that ross capicchioni next , bro was talkin in that one too
Pops is very intelligent. I appreciate his input on this one 🙏🏾💪🏾
What they're most afraid of is the races united as humans.
Love each other ❤️
I’m sorry by Joyner Lucas
The art of peer pressure by Kendrick Lamar
Best reaction on the whole channel💯💯
Love this reaction 🔥
Thomas Sowell is someone you guys should look up. He's not a music artist but he is so smart and research so many things, one being about how there are different cultures and why some are considered more successful than others.
This was genius work by Joyner Lucas. He literally on a different level than most newer rappers
This hits HARD! physically and mentally, some of us do know the struggle now a days we're all in poverty I've been denied jobs cause of my tattoos and inexperience I'm almost 30 and no one is giving me the chance to get any experience, I grew up damn near wishing I had more than bread to eat but damn the kool aid hit! if we had enough sugar to put in it tho!!!!
Yessssss‼️‼️‼️ Dax-Dear God …. WE NEED DAT
1:56 lol pops said "Hold on Hold on" 💀
Thanks for the chance to tear up like that AGAIN feeling this shit even some odd years later!💯
Your pops looks like he’s very wise! Wish I had one like that ! Bless bro
I enjoy watching the young fella having more wisdom. Then most of the people my age.
What I don't agree with for this particular music video is the insinuation that only black people live in an economic "frying pan." I grew up lower income while my parents were young. My mother was attending college (first gen) and they both worked to pay her way. For the first 12 years of my life my dad juggled two jobs to keep food on our table. His hands were beat up so bad from the manual labor gig he sometimes couldn't close them. On the weekdays he slept a few hours between jobs. I remember once winter my mom wore duct tape in her shoe so she could buy me a new pair because I had grown out of mine. She paid her student loans for YEARS which meant she went "without" so we could have a lot. And they made sure to send all three of us girls to college. My dad finally went back to school for what he was really gifted to do- computer programming. He died at 45 in a car accident before he could really enjoy the fruits of his labor. We came from nothing, had nothing, and people treated us like nothing. (But it keeps us humble to remember) Fast forward to now; my husband and I own a home, and are busy raising two daughters who will, God willing, never know what the "end of a check" fear feels like. I am where I am because the sacrifices of my parents, my grandparents, my great-grandparents and so on who came here in rags as Irish immigrants and worked their way out of utter poverty so I could give my children something. I'm proud of them and their struggle... their bravery. We as Americans need to be future minded, Christ dependent, and compassionate to ALL people because we never know what their situation is. Humanity is a shared and universal experience no matter the ethnicity. I look forward to Heaven where none on this will stand between me and my global family. ❤
This music video is based on stereotypes not reality. It actually highlights that the majority of society believes in stereotypes. It’s really a socio-economic thing
now react to I'm Sorry. Easily his best song still imo, I wish he still tried to make proper hooks like this. All his deep stuff after is good for one listen, but not to put in the playlist, I'm Sorry is
Joyner Lucas is a F&@#!%G *GENIUS* !!! Loved your pops commentary 😊 Great reaction guys, & I love chicken skin too!!!
This father is a wealth of knowledge. Thank you for being you
Trust me pops will enjoy a lot of joyner’s music
The power in this song is about listening to both sides. Not just agree with the ideas that reinforce your beliefs and getting out of your comfort zone to understand the other side. It would be interesting to see how you would feel if a white man reacted to it and had the same response as pops but in reverse.
You just hit the tip of the iceberg with Joyner
Yes! The only way to solve any issue is honest conversations! It's how we can come to understanding of why each other feels, or believes, what they do. We don't have to agree. But if we understand, we can respect. And if we respect, we can meet in the middle to reach mutually acceptable solutions!
United We Stand because divided we fall, much love and appreciation from Kentucky ❤️🙏❤️🇺🇸
Yall better do quando album gang 🤝🏽
you should definitely do “nothing new” by 21 savage he addresses the same topic extremely good
facts
That and Kodak Black Malcom XXX
I think we all dream of the day when we come together and get along.
i will NEVER take any form of responsibility cause of what happened and me being white and if ANY person of color got an issue with that we can press that on the streets
I say were all humans a part of humanity who live here together. Sink tone and ethnicity don't change that, and it never will. I personally would love to see a world where we can all work together and love each other like were all cousins that never met.
Much love to everyone including you two
We need that quando album
Truth hurts and your dad is hurting bad
Quando album 💙🔥
This one got me at the end. When i first heard it, I damn near teared up. 😂😂 joyner a genius.
Makes me emotional no matter how many times I watch. Powerful stuff!!!
Can you do more MO3. Pops would skate to it.
React to quando new album recovery
white dude talking facts... u get angry.. black dude talking feelings.. u laugh...
Amen
Love how you both smiled at the same time when they hugged 🔥
I just found this video I love the chemistry, and vibe you and your pops. Give off I loved this reaction as well, big love and support from the UK! 😎🔥🙌
