I promise I will have a consistent upload schedule soon. Just know if I am gonna upload it will be on a monday or a thursday. Post notifications will solve that problem 🔔
... perhaps one on *Mickey Avalon?*
... lol ✊😬
Honestly yo as long as we aren't waiting 3-4 weeks for a vid I'm cool with seeing more fun content that's not solely twitch reposts
We love this channel and apperantly so does CUFBOYS but it's nice having something fun to laugh to that you went out of your way to make but nothing too crazy
Thank you Particle CC fo yo great vids
Honestly this video was so well put together I like how you just peeled back who Joji truly is and brought light to his genius thank you
He left UA-cam at the right time. He made us laugh as kids and now he makes us cry as adults 😂💀
yeah right, like joji really said on one of his interview "i wanna make people sad and horny..... you know what i mean" and he really did

I feel awful for him when he opened up about his health condition and his fanbase was so unsupportive. I can't imagine how that must have felt, I would have been broken
I hated how insensitive they were at the time when he opened up about his epilepsy. The man’s getting sick doing this character have some compassion.
seizures aren’t easy to deal with
@@beautyandtheoffbeats i’m glad people bullied him about it, and i bet he is too. it wasn't time yet. him getting support in that video would have killed his chance at a big music career
@@IsThisLossE You're glad a man with stress-induced epilepsy got bullied for wanting to do something different in his life?
@@BubbleBeeee if he got support for it and then his music career failed (i genuinely think it wasnt ready to take off yet) he would just go back to filthy frank and be stuck doing what he didnt want to do. literally the best thing he couldve done was slowly integrate his music into FF, which he did, and made it a success
@@IsThisLossE that's a silly assumption.
Going from shitposting nonstop for a decade, to having a WILDLY successful music career after is an almost impossible task. And he did it.
Whether you like any of his content or not, you have to respect that.
TLDR to the video: He stopped taking Adderall. He was in amphetamine induced psychosis, that wasn't content, it was a mental health issue.
A big part of his fanbase are people who would cancel filthy frank. That's even more amazing to me.
@@PherPhur One can argue, that psychosis as well as various other mental health conditions, however induced, were the driving force behind many a creative endeavor. Not I, of course. 😉
Wildly successful is a bit of a stretch. Successful, sure.
That's crazy, I found Joji recently and did not even realize that he was Filthy Frank. He did a great job separating the two
Same
Eric Andre lead me to Filthy Frank.
Because joji is accentuated george and franku is a character. It was just shitty edgy lore humor he pioneered it and then fucked off before shit hit the fan 😂
@@MelanchlyApexthats exactly what happened to me, i used to watch filthy frank back in the day, fast foward to now me and homie was smoking, i play some joji, and my homies goes "you know this is filthy frank?", my mind was completely blown
really bro freaking how dumb are you people .
People grow man. Sadly I miss filthyfrank but he proved he was more than that and I am happy for him.
Some people don’t grow.
Facts man
Yeah and his music isn't that bad either.
He didnt totally grow out of it. It was something he enjoyed doing until his music career was able to take off. UA-cam also became too childish to allow his videos to be posted/profitable. You can see this in recent interviews where he seemingly naturally turns into filthyfrank before correcting himself
😭😭😭💔💔💔don't say goodbye
The way he broke away was honestly insane, I remember when I heard his first song after he broke the persona and it was filled with so much pain. He has come so far.
W ua-cam.com/video/CszzpAMTN3M/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/3UAs8YJH-AE/v-deo.html onggg
ua-cam.com/video/C3UTSMPPCdA/v-deo.html
fuck the bots bruh
real fans know he used to release similar music under the alias “Chloe Burbank”
Edit: he went by joji. He dropped a 23 song album called “Chloe Burbank”
I hate how his fan base stopped him from growing. I think society has a problem understanding that celebrities are people too. I’m so happy to see him doing better
his music slaps so how can anyone complain? I basically grew up on Filthy Frank but I wasn't just there for Frank, I loved Joji and his music too. I still remember when he first linked his soundcloud and I heard "medicine beat" and it was the most beautiful thing I heard, he never made it longer because he said he liked "short and sweet", a statement which motivates me even today as I make music and film.
We loved papa franku and love joji, most of us weren’t toxic and loved his music then and now.
We didn’t stop his growth, we just grew up with him.
Callin us toxic is a wasteful propaganda.
@@Redmoz06 I loved frank too, that’s why it makes me upset that some wouldn’t let him grow
Nah it's just the certain type of people he generally attracted as frank. These are the same people who watch liveleak, gore videos, ISIS execution shit etc. You honestly think these people care about him? Atleast in my experience most of the people that knew him back in the peak were 4channers that always browsed that stuff.
Parasocial clowns
I said it before and I'll say it again: Frank was the last remnant of UA-cam being a true community driven platform.
Nah he did not care about us
@@TheDancingMudkiphis fans did not care about his health either how do you think that made him feel
@@glowboy6098I want frank to return its what we all need
Should've gatekeep the internet more honestly, you really cant't find the same vibe of content anymore. It seems like UA-cam started to promote more small content creators after worsening the algorithm more and more for a few years so that's nice I guess
@@TheDancingMudkip Doesn't matter, he was still in line with the community driven platform.
I never watched filthy frank so I was so shocked when I found out the guy who made slow dancing in the dark and pink guy were the same person 😂
you should watch him
@@user-fv9er3by5n the only ppl who think frank is funny are white creepy kids lol I never found his humor funny..I prefer his song
omg same
I was only familiar with the Pink Guy music, so I originally listened to Joji, then when I found out the content he used to make I was like no way it's the same guy.. yup it is lol.
Honestly 😂 I was like wowww
An inspiring dude all around. Crazy transition
Lol false
What’s up Ashtin bro love the raps
@@purekillshot5870 said nobody ever
Ashtin duo with me on fortnite tonight
@@cvswinepapi2465 of course your name has "pappy" in it, corny little bitch lol
I'm 70 years old. Just love the guy, no matter what he does.
No you're not.
@@SaltyPeanutz shit Sherlock how come you’re so sure?
@@SaltyPeanutz source?
@@SaltyPeanutz He is 🤪💯......
@@SaltyPeanutz how would you possibly know that
I was a huge fan of Filthy Frank. Admittedly I’m not a Joji fan, but I support the fact he’s doing what makes him happy. And after bringing laughter and joy to millions, he deserves to have some laughter and joy himself.
Same. I actually think he did lot of good with Filthy Frank, seeing how many ppl commented smthng like, many you are taking me out of depression etc.
He was a pioneer of UA-cam back in the day, he helped shaped UA-cam as a platform. All of us who grew up watching his content miss him dearly, but we're very happy for him and the career path he chose at the same time. He went from dissing musicians, to becoming one himself, it just goes to show. You never know where life will take you next.
One of the real true O.G's of UA-cam along with NigaHiga and the others.......
Fax man fr
this is why youre my favorite commentor
bro ur a son of papa franku as well?
O_0 jeez
I think he was simply put; A genius. I used to be one of those toxic kids who supported him and all of Filthy Frank's shenanigans but ironically enough, around the time Filthy Frank was buried my mentality was shifting to a more emotional state and his music commingled with my emotions at the time perfectly, his transition at the peak of his popularity was nothing short of genius.
it's not wrong to support his filthy Frank videos
@@user-fv9er3by5n it isn't but when people are stuck up on the fact that he'll never return and constantly spam it to him, that's when it gets rough
@@staticsoul69 and also he made the right choice imagine if he got discouraged and just stayed doing filthy frank late 2019 through 2021 would have ate him alive. It would be brutal. My goodness. His content would not last
@@BESTMOAD 100% I think he could've stayed for one more year but yeah, Joji needed to happen for him to pop off from 2019-now
As a grown man his videos still bring me joy.
I don't know why, still think he is funny.
I always support him, I was happy when I saw in my SoundCloud that he was going serious with music, if you really like someone you want them happy…
He was an incredible physically committed comedian, I thought it was ground breaking when he revealed himself and the humanity behind the artist, I was so here for it. It’s a shame he’s haunted by the fandom pressures and his own personal issues.
He just released a new song... "Glimpse of Us" and it is truly incredible. Few artists like him in the world today and I expect him to experience an incredible amount of success... God bless him and his future
Ok
That song is masterpiece 😌
Glimpse of Us got a 100 million streams on spotify in like 4 days which is crazy
Cool dude
He’s already being compared to frank ocean, which is crazy when the guy was “filthy frank” just a couple years ago. Crazy crazy
Makes me upset he was sick almost the whole time. You don't just start having a condition like that, it builds it momentum slowly and painfully, until you just can't fight anymore and living a normal life is the vest you can hope for. Every song the man has made has made me emotional in one way or another
Best not “vest”

I've been there for this crazy, edgy ride on The Filthy Frank Show and now I keep track of his music career as Joji. I'm just so proud of George, he really made it. Golden Boy of the best meme era, and extraordinary music producer and singer. Sky is the limit for this dude.
After following him through all these years, I feel genuinely happy for this man
Joji is such an interesting case study. I miss Frank like a lot of people, but I prefer Joji much more where he is today.
Sound like Eminem
For real
@@simp2234 yeah idk about that one
@@jon664_ emeinem give up on stan long ago
Lmao Eminem? The dude who used to make rap to be funny and edgy, but now only seems to release tracks out of anger because someone hurt his feelings? Relegated into obscurity, and no amount of pretending to be Twista will bring him back. I honestly feel kinda bad for him. You'd think when someone had that amount of money and prestige, they wouldn't be so petty.
When I met Joji, he seemed like a really nice, down to earth guy. He was at a local dog park near by where I live. I passed by him when he was blowing Pekingese. I asked for his autograph. He said yes.
Wdym blowing pekingesed
@@LILAUTISM. Sorry, I meant to say "blowing a Pekingese". My mistake.
@@Erichwanh ?????? 💀💀💀
@@haydencheong7528 he meant blow drying the dog (its breed is penkingese, they have long fur)
Idk who the heck this Pekingese fella is, but he sure sounds lucky!
He's so smart, the way he has done things is just amazing. He even left the channel, i bet he misses uploading videos from time to time, but you cant chase two things in the same time, gotta do what you love more and thats what i respect the most. To this day he remains my favorite youtuber, whichs is kinda crazy since i watch a lot of them but no one comes close to frank.
I remember watching Filthy frank as a wee little tot (Im 16 now so imagine how young i had to be) thanks to my older brother. I stumbled upon Joji thanks to tiktok and other social media and was BLOWN AWAY discovering it was Frank!! Granted, I hadn't seen Joji's face before that but I digress!! It amazed me that it was the same guy, but also gave me reason as to why I immediately liked his music. His voice had a familiar sound to it and I couldn't figure out why until I found out who he used to be and thought "Yeah this is same guy who sung HELP for sure". I'm mad people didn't take to his softer music so well in the beginning, because it's downright gorgeous, but I'm also glad he didn't let the backlash stop him from reaching his ultimate goal. Well done George
were you just like stuck in your high chair throwing spaghetti all over then looked at someone’s computer and saw pink guy bathing in ramen and you were like “EAURLLL! 🤤🎉”
@emmeapps2055 My brother would record his videos on his ds (later on my dsi after I got one and he broke his) when we'd go to our grandma's and have internet. He took up all my memory but at least it was for good content
I remember when I first came across Jojis soundcloud 5-6 years ago, it had such a huge impact on my taste in music and I still regularly listen to world$tar money, besidju, and unsaved info. I'm really happy for him, glad he made it this far and hope he keeps going.
those songs are what made me want to create music and are why i still prefer the "bedroom artist" vibes today
@@vivifrfx1530 yeah same. now i make worse music
This is my family this comment and these replies
Don’t forget that shamana was responsible for “besidju” :)
Hes still a spiritual lyrical miracle individual in my book ❤️
In a swimming pool
Lol
he's also skippin' and flippin' and dippin'
It's that underground shit don't you ever forget it.

Honestly I was disgusted at how the fanbase reacted to his leaving for the sake of his mental health. It sucks that big channels have toxic fans that care more about the content, and not about the creators health. I'm glad he was able to make the decision to leave, and I'm glad that he's happy and healthy. Creators shouldn't have to throw away their own happiness and their health because toxic people are screaming at them to continue.
George has been a huge part of my youth, I love that I was the generation that grew up with the filth and managed to see him grow so much to become a great musician
He’s been my biggest inspiration navigating the youtuber to music career balance. The concept of a musician making UA-cam videos. The slow transition and sprinkling in original tracks into the regular content. He laid down the blue print I strive to follow in my own way.
I’m sorry dude but you do fnaf rap songs, that’s not the same thing. Joji was always on a much higher level of self awareness which is why he was so able to transform. I’m not insulting you, I’m just saying you don’t have to do the transition in the same way he did because you’re not at all the same
@@PurgPurg he can do want he wants dont discourage him
@@PurgPurg imma keep trying
Zzzzz
Chase your dream young man
He left at the perfect time as youtube really started to crack down on the more "controversial" videos on the site, its been amazing to see how he's grown since that transition and i'd love to see him bring jojivlogs or something similar back
Exactly all those edgy YT vids from the early 2010s wouldn’t be allowed in today’s YT
I remember watching Filthy Frank with my brother. Years later I heard Joji’s music and loved it so much. My brother told me Joji and FF were the same person and I couldn’t believe it! I’m so proud that he’s been able to grow to this capacity and hope he only continues to grow from here!
Thank you patrick for consistently uploading high quality content, you have kept me entertained for like the past 3 years. The community appreciates you more than you could know.
I remember recently seeing some people in a comment section mentioning how much they were looking forward to George “getting bored of Joji and going back to Filthy Frank” and I just... I feel like that’s a pipe dream. He’s moved on from that stage of his life, and he seems so much happier where he is now than where he was then. You know?
Well why would you make high quality intellectual videos if you can make a tone of money by making whine songs
@@emilerhard4189 bro said intellectual like every videos a documentary instead of shock humor
@@Ap3sh1t sadly it requires a certain prowess from the viewer himself...
@@emilerhard4189 I'm sure you'd jump ship too.
There's no need to be in denial, we're all pretending to be friends here.
@@emilerhard4189 Are you awakening your third eye??? It's not that deep bro
I stuck with Joji throughout all his phases, such a talented dude, he deserves all the success.
It just saddens me how much the “fanbase” just didn’t want to let him be himself. Even to the point that what they wanted from him was literally detrimental to his own health. 😢 I am forever grateful to have watched his content 2015 onward til his last vid. And I’m happy to now follow his music currently, and love it as much as I loved his content way back when. ☺️
Bruh i live in new zealand and heard joji's latest single 'glimpse of us' on the radio for the first time ever the other day. I couldnt believe it. Im so happy for him, his music has helped me through some tough times, he deserves everything.
I remember being so intrigued by his joji persona that i was scouting the internet for leaks and unreleased joji tracks and fan edits. I still have a folder with old/unreleased/deleted joji tracks in a folder on my backup drive. Rly proud of him and his masterful transition.
Woah would you mind putting them up somewhwere with a download link?
I'd apprechiate it very much
Is it the Chloe Burbank stuff?
When Will He and the entire EP dropped I loved it
holy shit same lmao. i remember how niche his joji fans were at the time and the excitement of receiving something new. even though i was huge supporter of his joji alias, i was very disappointed when he gave up filthyfrank. obviously now we couldn’t be more happy for him & how much he has grown.
For a while the only joji stuff available was "i live in a constant state of fear and misery, do you miss me anymore"
Joji's previous album was incredible, I'm very excited for the next one. What he's done for both youtube and music is crazy.
Album was alright
@@SniperSax mf listens to nightcore and slowed/reverb talkin bout “aight” 💀
@@SniperSax ratio
No it wasn’t. It was generic compared to his other stuff.
@@jacksonshropshire822 as someone that lsitens to a shit ton of different music it was just ait not that memorable
So brilliant. Not a huge fan of Joji's music cuz I'm not big on that type of music, but I LOVE his success. Also his label 88 Rising has some artists I absolutely love. Higher Brothers are amazing.
I just wanna say my journey with George started at a very young age. I will be seeing him preform live in 2 weeks after years of seeing him only my phone screen and words can’t explain. I’m so happy he did what he did 💓
His newest song atm, "glimpse of us" is amazing, and has a crazy video compellation of his more chaotic moments xD also looks like its best performing work to date, if its not already its definitely on track to be. Love joj
the video is staged but it’s still great
@@Bootsie606 I looked into this and your 100% right. So Thank you sir [:
I still think it is a good representation of his Filthy Frank videos as many of them had this sorta central idea of chaos and mischief. The director did an amazing job though!
it got number 10 on the hot 100!!
@@TristenE i feel like the video is more about a really messy and hurtful breakup and how people do the craziest, most self-destructive shit to distract themselves tbh
@@shorevolker7194 hmm yeah I can definitely see that I like that interpretation 🤔
Joji can’t get cancelled. People don’t get cancelled for deeds alone, they get cancelled because of hipocrisy, trying to cover it up, because their content is vapid, and because the public is just tired of them. In Joji’s case, none of these apply.
That being said, I do think he quit the filthy frank show at the right time.
They get canceled because they bend the knee to the mob, or apologize for the wrong reasons. Who didn't get canceled? Louis CK is still rich as fuck and does packed comedy shows.
Joe Rogan is not "cancelable". If you don't exist on censored platforms you win. That's the future. Musk buying Twitter reclaims our universe given right to communication. No one can take that away. Good day sir.
This sounds like apologetics for cancel culture. Hell, even in your list you have something that is a deed alone(“their content is vapid”).
@@beybladeguru101 his music kinda vapid, but he put to much effort for the tipe of retarded content he was making.
@@beybladeguru101 and here we find somebody with zero reading comprehension trying to make a comment on youtube. so sad and strange to watch you flounder with concepts that a fifth grader could easily grasp. if you genuinely think that OP was trying to make a value-based statement instead of a practical observation of how “cancelling” actually works, then there’s simply no helping you. you’re just stupid.
@@beybladeguru101 Cancel culture is not real. No celebrity who has actually done heinous acts has ever received public condemnation, and it almost never effects their career. The few times it has actually effected someone’s career, it hasn’t been because the media wants to cancel them because they’re “not woke enough”, it’s because they genuinely did something awful and are simply seeing the consequences of their actions.
I didn't even watch Filthy Frank and I think I've only listened to like one of Joji's song. But his story is so heartbreaking yet comforting in the same way. He was able to escape Frank to pursue what he found most joy in.
Thanks for this Joji-journey! Truly well documented and insightful. I never got on the Filthy Frank or pink guy train. I did however watch some compilation that included his bit with the depressed alien that comes to earth. In that clip the alien has this beautiful lines that talk about being human, love, and generally living. It ends really goofy but it hit me emotionally enough to wonder what I had missed. Then I found his then freshly released video for Demons and Will he. And I was totally hooked. Thank you for sharing and putting this timeline together!
I can't even begin to imagine what it must have been like to share with millions of people something as serious as a condition, only for a big portion of them to spit back at him. Especially considering UA-cam was surely ready to crack down on him on a dime for his content.
I hope he's the version of himself he always envisioned he wanted to be, maybe even better yet!
This dude is inspirational .. he came from a pretty bad background to one of the most iconic UA-camrs and then became someone who makes heavenly music .
He didn't come from a bad background lol. You don't need a tragic backstory to be a good successful individual
@@fnutek3720 what I meant was poor but no I know you don't have to come from a bad background to be successful ...I never said you do .
Pretty sad to see how unsupportive a lot of people were after he opened up about his health issues and the state of Filthy Frank.
I'm glad everything worked out for him in the end with his music career.
considering his fanbase was mostly teenage edgelords at the time, it's not exactly a surprise. It still must have been very tough for him.
@@echodelta2172 huh exactly what kind of people do you expect to watch Filthy Frank
loooooooooooooooooooool they just acted like he did CANCER how can you hate that and feel awful guy was insensitive him self and use to make fun of people dieing so yeah think about that hahahaha
@@echodelta2172 considering he was a edgelord lol no shit his fans just acted like he did XD
@@jeffinjoseph8916 ikr people so dumb waaa he got bullied yet that was his content XD
I have never seen joji's content that much just heard about him many times and very few videos only but still everytime i hear his story i really feel kinda sad and glad at a same time
I was a huge Filthy Frank fan, and through the years as he'd post music I'd find myself thinking, "damn, this is good, maybe he should try some serious stuff". So while I was sad that the Frank channel slowly died, he's made some really great music that I love (and would love regardless of if I knew him before or not), and I'm so glad the dude is thriving. It's SUCH an unlikely success story and I love it.
Joji came when we all needed him. From laughing at frank as kids to leaning on Joji as young adults struggling to find our place in the world
Just saw Joji in Vancouver, front row pit in front of the master himself. After following him the past decade it was the greatest show of my 44 year life. Have never been more inspired!!
hey man thank you so much for telling his story how it was, beautifully told and i hope that this video opens up the eyes of a lot of people cause what george did was what some people take all their life to figure out. So thank you
This guy is my hero in every aspect...
Why ? I'm not being rude
@@tej9027 he’s hilarious but also has some amazing music watched filthy frank when I was 8 and maxmoefoe, and all his other friends were my favorite UA-camrs

Sometimes it's better to set the bar low for some.
I miss being in middle school and sharing Filthy Frank videos with my homies, quoting his videos and shit like that. 2015-2016 was such a good time man. I'm not the biggest fan of Joji's music but I'm curious to see where his future will go from here and I wish him great success
He's gonna start making real hip hop don't you ever forget it
@@chopper96 lmao
@@chopper96 he's bringing real hip hop back it's the white boy that said it
Oh shit I used to do that too lol
It was 2014-2017 for me in middle school though
I didn't realize how much I needed this video! Great job 👏
and I looove Joji so much
He is currently #90 on Spotifys most listened artists this month. Hes really made it.
Edit: 6th of july hes #58 damn
The greatest UA-camr of all time. What he did in the Dizasta/Frank era while working on music in the background (Chloe Burbank, soundcloud), amazing. An absolute genius of comedy, filmography, music production, storytelling. He can do it all.
Thank you George.
I’ve been waiting for a deep dive docu on Filthy Frank. Many people have done videos but never really explained more in depth. This is me before watching the video, I hope this one goes deeper
3 min in and I haven’t seen details like this before!! Bravo Patrick
P.s I’ve went to an 88rising concert a few years ago and he does chuckle a lil bit when people shout FF slurs. Just be discreet, I yelled “ love you pink guy” before he started a song and he chuckled and went “thank you” he still knows, just don’t be a troll or it gets annoying
Same man I’ve been waiting 4 someone to make a iceberg type of video about joji for a while now. Patrick delivered!
There have been video essays made on the legacy of George and Filthy Frank from start to finish, from when he was 15 in his bedroom to a musician. I’m sure if you look it up you’ll find it
as Pewdiepie said once it's only a matter of time before George reveals that this is all part of the filthy frank zeitgeist.
Your last mentioned info actually gives me so much peace.
Some people always worry about that George hates Frank nowadays. I think that he is a very silly and sarcastic dude in general. You can still see his kind of humour in his work as Joji, which makes me happy all the time. Also when he talks about it, you can sometimes still see him trying to hide a grin. ;)
He's a serious artist nowadays, but he is still a very funny, sarcastic and just hilarious person. So, something so iconic about him has probably never fully changed. He just doesn't continue the work of Frank. But Frank and this sort of humour is part of his character.
@@susannesynonym170 he’s an Angel no cap. Lovable human being that just grew. People just won’t accept it💯💯
Thank you for making such a high quality video! Joji is an unbelievable musical talent!
Really good content man, i really believe he did well in his transition, i dont listen to his songs anymore but i was a die hard fan of his pink guy music, you can see clearly his knowledge of producing and mixing in various pink guy songs, i just really wanted that type of beat, i used to listen in non-ironically way, specially here in brazil cuz for other common people his lyrics cant be understand for most of the people. I just wished that he made an album with some more hip-hop/rap influences in lyrics and beat, i just dont find interesting his songs about love, broken hearts, depression etc, i get it that he was really bad with his thoughts and his mind at the time, but he could drop us some lit stuff too dood
When he left youtube it felt abrupt to me. It felt like he abandoned us, his fans. I always liked his music and wanted more serious beats, but it was almost hard to listen to them after he left Filthy Frank. It was hard to shake the feelings brought up by his departure. Like a dad trying to coming back into the life of a child after they've grown up. Now that time has past and I've grown a bit older and a bit wiser, I understand why he did it and that this was always the plan. I'm glad he got to be who he always wanted to be and I think that is the most beautiful, unofficial, underlying plot to Filthy Frank. That sometimes you have to endure filth in order to metamorphosize into a better you.
This deserves more likes
Thats gay dude
perfectly said for how i felt😭
dawg it was never that serious
this is insane levels of dickriding
growing up with filthy frank, and even being a fan of "the joji music" back in the day, it made me both so happy and so sad to see his transition. I was happy for George, but sad to say goodbye to these belovedly raunchy characters. someone else in the comments said he left youtube at the right time, and I 100% agree.
Solid, well researched video brah. I'm one of the only dudes that found Joji's music before his youtube shit. But they marketed it pretty much perfectly. And him on hot ones was perfect product placement, and Will He is a SADBOI BANGER.
im so proud of him, his story and music is amazing :)
I think he really is one of the best UA-camrs ever on the platform, he built a perfect ending, and he was literally the UA-camr of his time and he ultimately demonstrated that he's able to adapt not die, and he's incredibly intelligent and talented. That is the person that, aside from a few bumps here and there with who he was, we want representing UA-camrs I think to go
I like your perspective on this one. Seen a few FF documentaries and I wasn't expecting this content to feel fresh.
You showing how he slowly eased into the music scene... It shows his brilliance. He knew his worth and calculated his path to fame.
Very inspiring video 🙏 Will have a transition like this soon in the future
This is a documentary made by Patrick CC and it’s a classic
Thanks Daniel

@@PatrickCc Thanks Patrick, Hope you're hydrated today.
What Joji has managed to achieve is really inspiring, huge credit to him. I love both Frank and Joji
Insanely well researched and beautifully presented.
I’m new to Patrick Cc:… holy shit I can’t stop watching these videos. Great videos, well put together. Thanks for the content!
It’s crazy how completely different filthy frank/pink guy is from Joji. I’m sure everyone misses filthy frank, but you can’t help but to be happy for Joji’s success in the things that he pursue.
Patrick your docs are genuinely phenomenal, this content rocks!
This just inspired me for my own music career more than i can even grasp. Thank you for this video Patrick 💙
This video gives me chills. His music and comedy got me through the dark times for a decade and counting. Hes my top artist on soundcloud and spotify. I wish i could thank him for everything.
The "Filthy Frank" Strategy needs to be used and realized more by rappers. A successful example would be Tyler the Creator. A bad example would be Lil Pump.The First half of Tylers career was immature, offensive, and fun. Then he sat back for a couple years, made an okay mixed reviewed album, grew with his Audience, & released Flowerboy. Lil Pump hasn't shown any sign of "Maturing" or taking his music serious. His "Filthy Frank" era is still going since like 2016 & his Audience out grew him.
Either way, if Joji just stayed as Filthy Frank, I don't think he ever would've peaked higher then he was when he changed "careers"
True
So glad you made this video. Joji is the goat.
he created a character that people loved and valued so much and too much, even if he wanted to abandon that character everyone who got attached deep into it will either hate him or be sad about it, of course some peoples would still support him and love him no matter what he does. I think his transition from a goofy character to a chill guy is such a huge journey and challenge because he's leaving something that people got used to and doing something new, he has this constant worry and stress if he'll succeed or not because he has no guarantee of what will happen. Im happy he managed to transition to the character he is today and im happy that he's happy at what he's doing.
“Trap Dumplings 🥟 “ will always be a bop to me
I came back to this after listening to Glimpse of us. It really shows how far Joji has come as both a artist and a personality
I remember watching the Filthy Frank Exposed video when it came out and I never thought about the condition that gave him seizures. Within the past few years, I've been diagnosed with stress induced seizures. I can totally empathize with wanting to quit. Stress seizures are scary because you can't always control how stressed you are.
Hi I've seen quite a handful of your comments on my fan page and I just wanna go out of my way to appreciate those people who’s comments and good wishes encourages me and I hope to bring you guys so much entertainment. Send a direct message to my private chat I got something for you. Stay safe 🌹❤️
I feel like George lives in the heart and minds of every real UA-camr. Excellent vid yo
grew up on frank and those boys and loved his new music career ill always miss the type of content they brought to UA-cam as it is and always will be its own original stuff but im really glad he is doing what he loves now :))
been around since dizasta music and lemme say this, I'm so happy George could finally spread his wings and fly at his own pace and when he wanted to, not when he was forced to. I feel like I got to grow up with george on youtube and I'm happy as an adult that I now have joji to grow old with.
I wish all celebrity research videos were like this. I loved this video!
I appreciate the reminder to hydrate rather than an ad.
Going back and looking at Filthy Frank videos with a fresh set of eyes many years later makes me realize how stressful it must have been for him. He was a college student balancing music and school and a youtube career all on top of that. Poor kid :(
What a great video. Even being a long time fan of Filthy Frank I still learned so much 👑
This video is full of kindness its so nice to watch, thank you tho
I enjoy his music these days but at the same time I miss his content. He was one of the most funniest people I'd seen. I hope life keeps treating him well ❤️
i am proud of joji for where he is now and how he got there through his own strength and passion and drive.
patrick your getting so fucking good at making videos. It’s insane to see how much you have improved
I remember when I first started listening to his music on SoundCloud and I was like holy shit he's a great singer too! I was listening to the music and even some of the tracks he would repost on there, and I was loving it and his Frank videos. The announcement that he was done with Frank didn't necessarily take me by surprise, but it definitely shook me a little bit. I was really into his videos, the lore, etc, but I was also into his "serious" music, so although I was sad, I was comforted knowing he was doing what he wanted to do. Today it's wild to see how successful he has become, I constantly hear his newest track on TikTok and Nectar was one of my favorite albums of the year when it released. I'll never forget Papa Franku, but I'm also glad George is doing what he truly loves now.
It will never not be strange to have watched his career change the way it did, being a fan from 2012 I am so happy for his success and wish him all the best :)
As someone who knew him when he lived in queens, NY. He was a super chill dude. Happy to see him flourishing.
i love him sm still, i remember when he had his soundcloud hidden in his descriptions of how videos and love how he's grown as an artist past youtube because that lil ep on his soundcloud was only listened to by still a small portion of his viewers and im glad he took time to part with papa franku
These types of videos that talk about Joji/Franku are always makes me sad, yet so proud at the same time.
I seriously respect both of his careers. A great musician and a rebel for the masses, doing what youtubers now don't even dare show in their videos, as seen here.
As much as I loved filthy frank, especially as an edgy teen at that time, im really happy he transitioned into joji music full time because I know I wouldn't be watching filthy frank content today even if youtube accepted it. But as joji I still consume his content he's a big inspiration for me
you should still watch his videos they are still very funny.
also just because his jokes are offensive doesn't mean that they are attacking you
