Joyner Lucas - Broski “Official Music Video” (Not Now I’m Busy)

[@TazBailey313]

Idk who killed it more, Joyner with his penmanship, and delivery, or Rotimi executing the character of Broski bringing the scene to life, or the Director and editors of this video. Overall this is a true work of art! Definitely a Masterpiece

[@nevetsgj]

Truth is they all equally killled it. Doesnt have to be competition just good clean artistry on all levels.

[@NatTurnergrandsonChrisdorner]

They both body bagged this! You could feel the animosity and tension building while rotimi kept talking! Even his theatrics were on point.

[@deeweezyvee]

They bagged and tagged it… Rotimi breathed life into it those lyrics

[@johanncuervo4566]

I’m trying to figure it out myself 😮

[@jasons5082]

Bro there was a point when you didn’t even realize it was joyner rapping, whoever wrote this song is the real credited. Many actors could have fill the shoes. No one could have wrote this so good. It is what it is.

[@BettaWithToast]

The build of emotion from the lyrics, to the delivery, to the production, to the acting, to the directing. This thing is a work of art.

[@willmosley3215]

This is the best comment! I've been sitting here thinking how deep down, regardless of where you rank around a friend who is successful, everyone still wants that to be them. They want that light too. Joyner is a master of his craft.

Jesus is coming soon! Matthew 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. Surrender your heart fully to God that you may gain eternal life by forsaking your sins and share the gospel of Christ, our ONLY HOPE. 1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Romans 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Yeshua, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 💗🙏❤

I disagree. Broski didn't sound like a hater, just jealous he wasn't eating yet and Joyner was. Cole talked about the same thing in another song I cant remember the name rn.

[@AbrahamG-it6sd]

Nah i tought it was actually like people not being appreciated when they help u out,like if someone helps u out,u gotta help them

[@AbrahamG-it6sd]

Broski said i knew the day would come u would stab me in my back,meaning he helped out Joyner get his footing but Joyner didnt return the favor,u know what i mean?im not sure but that how i interpreted it.

[@rubystruth]

@@aaronflanary271 Broski is absolutely a hater. He will ride the coattail and play along to get along because he feels he is owed something because he’s a long time friend. Nothing you do for him will ever be enough why? Because as you continue to thrive he continues to think he deserves more of what you have even though he had already been repaid and he will never put the work in to be where you are. He’s lazy and disturbingly audacious and even admits it. These are friends who say insults and play them as jokes. But they’re hands will be out because they know you’ll be guilty enough to cave. Boundaries. Broski will kill for what you have and blame you for it.

He's not an enemy he just needs a little help and real shit if I knew one of mines was fucked up I would help especially if that's my broski since dippers. Like really listen to the song and watch it play out.

@@ardenthellspawnhe's a frenemy. He talks abt ALL the stuff that he did for him then says he could've done more. Insatiable, jealous, envious enemy. And he gon' stay fk'd up..his mindset will keep him that way..he feels entitled. You should maybe listen again..and look at his face and eyes. This is a song abt an enemy that secretly wants your spot and said he'll be laughing when you broke and back in the hood..deserves what you got and more. Wake up. He hates his "broski.." for all his success!

[@Z-Ack]

Yea but when you do everything for a homie, give them money, advice, love and a place to lay they head at but then outta nowhere they steal from you. Then you forgive because of yalls history and them saying they were hard up. You tell them if they need just ask and you shall receive if i got it for sho.. then they know you are hard up yourself after your momma dies and had to foot the bills for the funeral while your pops is on his way to the grave and everybody can see that youre going through hell losing your folks all the sudden and he watched you fall in your depression and didnt try and stop you when you took all the pills to end your own life. Didnt even call the cops or ambulance for a guy. My sister ended up coming by randomly and found me.. but the guy you trusted, been through shit with just stole your wallet and credit cards when you were overdosing.. and when i get my shit pumped out and dont die, when i got out of suicide watch and released i come home to find more of my shits gone with him on the security cameras jacking me. Maxed out all of my cards, overdrew my bank account, then my dad dies and sister been broke so i get stuck with that debt too. And after all that, the guy comes knocking talking about sorry and his gf needed the money for an abortion and said she was hard up for some dope and he needed the money. Then asks for more money saying he knows i got it but gets mad at me when i tell him he already got every bit of money i had, lost my job because i was in the hospital, no parents or family to fall back on or ask for help. No friends, no girl. Yet he has everything given to him or he stole it.. but the guy still takes the little bag of smoke i had to keep my head sane. Thats a true friend there.. before all that he never stole or asked for shit from me. I never did him either.. now tell me youd help out a broski again? People are fucked up and aint nobody give a shit about you except if they blood and still yet might just say they care. But wheb shit gets hard they only care for #1 and will do whatever to help out #1.. greedy selfish conscience lacking no moral standards fucks all over this earth.. they just want to see you fall as soon as you start to come up above them and boot you out when they might come up.. is just how it is.. aint nobody right anymore. Give a person a chance and watch how fast they turn.. watch..

[@brianbolden2342]

​@@ardenthellspawnI agree with to a point. Mostly helping homie out, cuz dude taking about hoping he falls back into the hood, where he's still at, and if that was his Day1, he should be by his side, and that'd be a natural call to make for your #1. On the other hand, Broski was letting out all the "stored ammo# collected through ou the years, meaning my man was ready to fire at the man who was always there for him, as soon as he wasn't satisfied, and worst of all as how he spoke on "deserving everything he had, and more, and that's basically him being nice while saying that, and knowing he don't work fo what he feels he deserves", basically says that he'd never be satisfied, cuz he's just a cup with a big ass whole in it, that's constantly needing the closest one to'm to fill'm up. I know that not everything is seen in black/white, but friendship is just that. You're either a true friend that can be trusted or you ain't period, and unfortunately, Broski obviously can't..... right?

This guy desires what this Broski guy has. And that's ealousy. He must carve his own path and be content with what he has.

[@tylermanning4321]

A lot of people think this is about a friend who betrays you when you find success, but remember Joyner wrote this. I think this is more about the way you THINK when you find success. Never knowing if you did enough, never knowing when they will turn on you, never knowing if they are genuine or not, never knowing if they are satisfied or resentful. His friend could be saying something kind but because he's successful he doesn't know whether its genuine or not. Or at least that's the way I read it.

[@itzflawlezz]

well said, couldn’t be bettet pur together

[@EmergeAndSeeTV]

A good take--I don't think either theory disproves the other. I like your take..but the entitlement and double mindedness of ppl who are secretly insatiable is so real too, even if you're not a celebrity w/millions..fam and friends sometimes rear and ugly head as soon as you don't give the millionth yes..and I love how he flipped, because ppl literally FLIP like that! "..I deserve it maybe..." ppl believe that and didn't/won't even contribute to your success, may even be an obstacle but love keeps ppl around. But again..I love your take b/c that's real.."was it enough? Should I have done more?" Is a real struggle with the heart of a giver and ppl pleaser..I'm getting over all types of unhealthy dispositions like that! It helps you recognize the broski's in your world so easily when you know what's real. 🥰 peace and love!

[@KOVIK]

I also think he just wrote it as a dramatic hypothetical, just like the song that put him on in the first place. I think a lot of rappers are scared to write straight-up fiction because of the whole "you need to be real" stigma in the game, but honestly, fiction is more interesting than life most of the time and they're embellishing / exaggerating so damn much as is, may as well just go all the way. Stories don't have to be real to be worth telling, feel?

[@finalthought3888]

It's time for Joyner to realize that we appreciate him for his raw talent. This is pure and genuine art of Joyner Lucas. For me this song delivers 3 messages. 1:There are bros who will really die where you die, have your back and be happy for you genuinely. 2: There are those who will be happy for you but jealousy will make them switch up in the end. and 3: there are those who you will think are with you, but will just be pretending and deep down want your life to be drawn back.
