[@u_mrmcmisdemeanor]

hey corey, are you gonna upload the video version today too? i can listen to the spotify version, but i like watching the vids better. i don't have a big brother, so watching the video versions makes me feel like I'm having a good convo with the brody. thanks bruh, keep it up

[@rockee254]

@ The Black Hokage we need more stand off videos like this

[@angelgjr1999]

The Black Hokage Really appreciate all the content you put out. The podcasts are 🔥🔥🔥

[@elvnt1373]

In regards to the segmentation of your podcasts and other content i would recommend you expanding on it. There are (many people myself for example) who when in our teens watched your black guy tales negro knowledge and trolling videos back when you were mwn. As we grew up we began consuming less content (due to university etc) and having been interested in what you have to say and not being avid gamers didn’t follow you over to twitch or keep up with your content as frequently as before. I think now with the trend of male development be it financial physical and that everyones stuck in because of the corona virus and how impeccable you are at telling stories/dropping gems. I thinks its a good time to push the segmented content where people see what they specifically enjoy you for (being so versatile you have a gamer crowd,anime crowd, people who enjoy your gems comedy etc etc) and also push development content i see many of the best ‘red pill’ ‘alpha male’ channels and there content is nowhere near on your caliber for that market. Just my 2 cents but you are extremely underrated the calibre of your content isn’t reflected in your views imo and I’m glad that you’re finally really getting to the bag and finding success

[@CaseyBurnsInvesting]

Tbh, the perfect example of building out a strong core following by keeping it 100% real, 100% of the time.

[@benmangerere358]

Big facts, he preached about the multiple times in his videos

[@kaylenr.6034]

facts, i been supporting this man since MIDDLE SCHOOL and I just graduated college

[@YvngMask]

his channel is dead but his content aint

[@CaseyBurnsInvesting]

Yvng Mask His channel isn’t dead just some people subscribe and never come back. If you look at your initial video view counts you can tell how big your core following is.

[@ForeverMatuk]

Mad respect to you TBH. Why don't you hold seminars for small business owners? I'm sure your influence and experience could help many who thought about getting into the business, or at the least desire to become entrepreneurs

[@thefilipinoassassino9665]

You should look into that @the black hokage . You can make some bank being a speaker. It's quite lucrative. That's just what I heard..

[@rudygaribay8079]

I've been watching TBH since 2012 and there has literally never been another creator that I have stick with this long. Other creators have drawn me in from time to time, but not many have had kept me watching them consistently. This dude has had major influence on my life and I didn't really think of that until now.

[@eiennosenshi2398]

That’s fax the only youtubers I watch that much are him and afrosenju

[@glockstar_2295]

Only person I been watching as long as him is corykenshin and berlezzy

[@khairybrice6395]

Rudy Garibay Ong everybody else on KZbin act childish and overly happy and excited

[@trapgodnah9022]

Only time i kinda drifted away was mis way threw his dread fase😂

[@MAK00750]

I been watching him since 2013, and he still is influencing my life with his wisdom and hardwork

[@lil-raft5967]

his comment on pocket watching reminds me of when he asked someone (i believe it was tbh that said this back in the day) "why wont you buy drakes album if you support him" (paraphrasing a conversation he was having) to which the person he was speaking to responded "that nigga dont need my money" which is something that really opened my eyes back then to how people treat you when you have "wealth" something that tbh is reiterating in this video which i really appreciate that he stands by his values and teaching people how to really support the people your backing or "supporting" to which tbh responded "What if he needed that money to buy a new pool?" lmfaoo

[@DreamOnDamu]

That was the meek myles series

[@raycasta10]

“If McDonalds is so big y should i pay for the meals” xD tht comes to my head when tht logic comes up. Its like the word expenses nvr come to their mind.

[@SilsufDreamy333]

It’s more like “I’d rather give it to someone who really needs the money as support” because let’s say I support drake. I’m still gonna stream his shit and listen. But I’d rather give it to another person like tbh who isn’t making millions because my 5-10 makes a difference

[@trapgodnah9022]

Aj Guerra your comparing mcdonalds as a franchise, to music, sounds.

[@trapgodnah9022]

Lil-Raft music is free on youtube, if it wasnt people would “support” by buying it, if mcdonalds was free at your local church, nobody would say, “if you like mcdonalds why dont you support them”

[@ValkenDnB]

To be honest, now that you say you make content that’s not flash and go. That’s kind of true. You actually do make a lot of videos that can live long and look back at and they would still make sense if someone were to run into your channel years later. That’s pretty smart content making if you ask me. No wonder your videos from a year ago that’s I’ve seen show thousands of views later on. 200IQ

[@kkkkkksd]

So happy for you man. Been a ghost viewer since I was 13, I'm 20 now lmao. It's great to see your channel flourishing.

[@ohWAFE]

Keyon Pierre same here, now that i make some cash i always make sure to sub to his twitch when i can. He deserves everything for the years of content he’s given us.

[@PapaBerto]

I want this man to always be successful. The insight you give on these topics opens my third eye little by little. Bless up!

[@jayzell99]

TBH is one of a VERY FEW creators I have been following for years (since middle school, i just turned 21 yesterday) that still makes content that you can go back to and it only ages like wine...he has influenced a bunch of people And his fan base is solid ...Making moves outside of the KZbin game and keeps true to himself...how tf can you hate this man?

[@JamesSmith-qe1mn]

Honestly I just recently found your channel on KZbin when the algorithm noticed my interest in podcast segments.. I don't watch/listen to podcasts in general cus I don't have the time to sit through and support live streams... That being said I LOVE your content and I put you up there with Joe Rogan, keep doing your thing and just FYI I have your segments going 6yrs back saved to my Playlist to enjoy when I find time

[@spambamkeija634]

I'm glad you like his content. He's one of the few real ones on youtube, bruh. Welcome to the family

This is a prime example as to why having loyal fans is very important.

[@slids8300]

Another podcast already? Man on his grind

[@Chris.182]

These clips of the podcast are great. Sometimes I don’t want to sit and listen to a full hour or whatever but these bite size increments are perfect

[@misterminimac]

Much respect to TBH for saying what needs to be said and nothing more. People get jealous easily these days... Sometimes you have to keep your blessings to yourself. 🤷‍♂️

[@powpow50cal24]

Homie has reviewed a lot of games into grueling detail. Respect the hokage

[@Kenichi_13]

I really don’t have time to watch the full podcast, I run a full time business and I appreciate your little story times. It lets me listen to real shit you put out at a young age so it lets me learn from your experiences.

[@BigDonSkillz]

Real recognize real. I appreciate the pointers on "selling yourself" to these companies. This is a video im adding to a playlist for the future. It's crazy how "black and white" folks can be about views.

[@ledj95]

He explains how KZbin works well and he creates content you can come back to at anytime and share with almost anyone. I personally go back and rewatch videos just because they are just really well done and entertaining

[@RandomRecordings123]

You are completely right. You and GI are the only KZbinrs I have ever actually bought a product because of your direct advertisement on that product.

[@ItzOba]

They brought this back up on my timeline. It’s great to see how much you improved and grown over the years. Thankfully I did as well 😁

[@ShadeCurry]

My guy has always kept it real and I have nothing but respect for him

“People will say they like real shit until they see it” -The Black Hokage 2020

[@GameFreak4Ever]

You're definitely supplying people with the proper knowledge. Definitely respect that. Being an influence is more marketable than a ton of views.

[@SmileyMoe]

3:28 Thats a big fact. I found myself looking for a MWN Darksouls 2 review. A review, for a game I've never played nor intend to play, that I've already seen years back. It's just clean, longstanding, content. Period.

[@tariqmorris3441]

Much appreciated big dog 💪🏾 you dropped a lot of gems 💎 that doesn’t just apply to content creating. I’ve been watching you since the 7th grade. I’m 21 now & in the navy, I like the older & more mature tbh. Keep up the good work

[@diegopinon5275]

You’re right TBH. I am a consumer of online content, and other youtubers not all of them mind you. I watch and I forget what they had to say til the next video. But what you say sticks with me and is relatable. I remember what you had to say and you also give decent advice, like just right now about being business savvy. Because of that, people are more likely to trust your word when you advertise a product and they will at least consider buying it.

[@redhood444]

I been watching your videos for almost ten years now man the time has FLIED

[@kejovanbrown8287]

Ill never forget watching you in highschool about 4-5 years ago. you said something like "dont just settle for some free energy drinks sponsorship, know your worth". as small as that is, it stuck with me ever since.

[@jesuscordova1101]

When other people talk about themselves it comes off to me as bragging but when the black hokage does it it comes out as real talk

[@supremepanda08]

Perfect example: at the time I’m watching this video TBH has 2.9k likes and 8 dislikes with 17k views....having only 8 dislikes is crazy.

[@zaywts975]

Watching the video version after listening to the pod yesterday. Keep up the great content 👏🏾👏🏾

[@ty3694]

This man has been speaking facts for years. I’ve been here since Modernwarnegro days and I don’t plan on going anywhere. Much love and support from me.🙏🏽

[@FlyBoyKhi]

It's still smart af to post the podcast and then post separate clips. Double dipping baby! I usually listen to the podcasts at work or if I have a long drive to make. I like to "save them"

[@narutoxzx123]

This some real shit🙏🏾

[@HitnRunTony]

Your vids are timeless. Here I am leaving a comment and giving it a like 3 years later.

[@tyuup12]

Grew up watching this man. I remember seeing his trolling videos on call of duty when I was 14 and we used to get online and roast the kids being racist in the lobbies 😂😂. Literally consistently watched every video since. It’s crazy how you can grow up watching someone and they don’t change, get greedy or anything. All he did was progress and mature. The SAME SHIT IM ON right now. And now he inspiring the youth too 😂😂😂. History will remember this one frfr.

[@BernellJonesII]

Some folks think TBH just talkin bout himself. Real niggas know he speakin knowledge from experience 💯

[@kinglifestyle711]

Been watching you since 2012 and you always given us Gemz long term your respect is through the roof because when it comes to alot of content creators in the gaming space your the top of who I watch💯

[@joseduarte1997]

He don’t miss tho been watching this mans for years!

[@CriDjango]

He's right he was one of the first gaming black you tubers i found on KZbin who's been himself since he started. Im sure he influenced alot of us to create KZbin channels. As for the business part hes also right people would rather have some one who has quality viewers then a large quantity of them .

[@samirchaudhry1824]

tbh u right i dont always agree with you but your insight is usually very articulate and helpful. Always inspirational. thanks boss

[@miguelchambers9760]

It’s a eye grabber because of the context but for me the formula of uploading a segment before the new podcast itself generates curiosity. Plus I stay informed in the gaming world and the last podcast reminded me to clean my damn PC

[@JMorefireTM]

Yo the IG model example is 100% facts bruh, i ain't never think bout how i dont really pay attention to their captions and stuff, i just double tap and continue scrolling.

[@chriss.249]

3:15 No lie, I always go back to some of your old stuff and watch it Black guy trollings(black guy trolling on the fire nation is my favorite for some reason😂) Smash bros based god Destiny review(cuz I loved the music u had in the background) Ratchet and clank ps4 review Rainbow 6 fails and funny moments Battlefield hardline Super shotgun bros Zabuza a martyr for change And alot more stuff, especially these masculinity talks u be having, I go back and watch those every now and then👍🏾💯 I been watching since 2014, its dope seeing how u made small changes to your channel to where overtime it's different than it used to be, from modern war negro to the black hokage Keep up the good work bro!!!💪🏾

[@KobesEgo]

Consistency and Realness. Have to respect the grind and proud you get to enjoy the fruits of your labor now cause the quality never left for your supporters. A great example of what happens when you stay true to yourself and your core.

To be honest you're the only KZbinr who I actually respect because you take everything serious and plus you're very honest about it

[@BubbaTheDon]

S/o tbh always showing the real side of KZbin.. and how everything works cause of this man I been looking at stuff from a different perspective

[@Cworthy09]

I go back to that video TBH made about “The Cod Cycle” literally every year since it’s come out he’s preaching odee when he talks about long lasting content 🗣 that’s just one example

[@julianmiller4595]

This man may not like beyblades, but being an advocate for higher learning and* planning ahead in general is a thankless job at best. Maybe that's the key to your near decade long pattern of consistency. In any case, great content as always and be safe out there

[@JIGGY4L]

Everything you stated was facts. I remember back in the day you would throw in a song at the end of your videos of new music/artists you were interested in and most of the time i put them in my own personal playlist. Been original from jump bro. Salute.

[@andretheinfluence5623]

"Sometimes you gotta fall back to see the bigger picture." Appreciate the realness because what you do a lot of people wouldn't do just the simple fact you could be getting paid for something and if you don't like it you'll let it be known "I do not like this." All respect.

I don’t understand why he has to break this shit down for y’all get out that man business 😂😂

TBH I’m one of those youtubers you inspired. At first I didn’t have my own identity and it showed in my results. While I’m still a very small KZbinr I’ve found my own lane and I’m starting to see the progress. I appreciate these kind of videos they serve as motivation and great advice. Respect my brotha!

[@SecretSilverLining]

Big reason I watch you and try to catch your streams is because you know who you want to be. That shines through, and it's really been an inspiration seeing an intelligent black man chasing success with diligence and determination. You've got my respect. I try to support you best I can, but for now take my view and my like. Keep getting it my guy.

[@PrinceRPG]

You do got a point cause many advertisers do use channels with under 250k subscribers as their fan base is usually going to support the product shown then someone with millions who are basically just kids with short attention spans watching their vids. I’m more into cars now so I do watch a lot of automotive youtubers and they get sponsored off the rip and I always wondered why and how but this is the reason

I ain't gon lie I hadn't really been checking for your content for a long time but I heard the full hokage thots podcast on spotify yesterday while on my way to my job site and you were dropping gems my dude. I will be checking for it every chance I get to actually sit down and really pay attention to it. I'm glad your content is still quality, and you are able to adapt in the ever changing content creator world. As much as I am a big fan of the older MWN style videos, a lot of the jokes and trolling you were doing back then wouldn't be recieved all to well today, amd you have definitely shown growth as a person. The content might have changed, but at least Cornelius08/ MWN/TBH never did
