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

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

GIVE THIS MAN A STANDING OVATION 👏🏿

went from adoration and praise to hate real quick with my jaws on the floor. It was like watching Judas among the disciples. Great work on the storyline Joyner.

This deserves an Oscar and a Grammy

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.

Performance 💯 Delivery 💯 Lyrics 💯 Video production 💯🔥🔥🔥

I know how every word of this song felt. 15 year friendship down the drain over jealousy. Your best friend can one day be your worst enemy 😢

I love and missed this type of storytelling form Joyner. It really gives goosebumps.

This might be emotionally hardest hitting personal Joyner track since “I’m Sorry” I got chills

This wasn't a movie, this wasn't a music video, this wasn't even art...this was a life lesson. Stay up broski.

The subtle hint of green in his eyes as he stares at the camera at the end of the video...*Chefs Kiss*

Bruh only 7 million tho‼️🤦🏾‍♂️ some people just don’t appreciate music anymore‼️ This will forever be a classic and masterpiece‼️

Thanks Rotimi for breathing air into this fine masterpiece with your fine acting. Stay blessed..!!🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

Rotimi killed his part well, dude is so talented. This video deserves an Award.

What a psychological trip! Amazing song about life, love, jealousy, envy and keeping it under control. Pure genious....

Fellas, protect yourselves at all times! I dealt with a lot of Broskis over the years. They all gone now, but by the grace of GOD, I am still going strong! Those shady, jealous, and backstabbing peeps all end the same way. It's sad, SMH!

Wow! This is telling stories and giving life lessons; this is GOLD! Incredible work, Joyner.

That transition from love to hate was so flawless.🤯🤯 Joyner Lucas is to the rap game what Steven Spielberg is to movies

IDC what y’all say… No resent artist can tell a story like Joyner!!! Standing ovation sir 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

The dude really is just built different. Only artist that has me listening to a song and feeling like I’m watching a movie

This is A MILLION TIMES BETTER then what you hear normally you don’t hear real music like that anymore thank you Joyner

Rotimi did an amazing job, the performance was crazy🔥🔥

Never stop making this type of music... noone can do it like you

12 time watching this, if this comment get likes then it means I'm not the only one that comes back

This video doesn't deserve to be over looked. This is real art

That was an amazing performance by Rotimi 👏🏽🔥. This is a depiction of "friends" who cheer you to your face but plot evil behind you.

I can't get enough of this song , I watch it 5 times everyday on youtube. JOYNER LUCAS is the greatest of all time

Talk about incredible the intense buildup from the beat to the lyrics to the acting 😩Joyner wrote the assignment and Rotimi understood it 🙌🏽.

Felt this vid on a deep spiritual level!

Beautiful song... Envy is a terrible thing.. The build up from praise, to acknowledgement of the fact he helped Rotimi's nieces and Rotimi, to sense of entitlement, to disappointment, to full blown envy, to killing intent, and back to the mask of praise... Brilliant..

The "you ain't kendrick, you ain't cole, you ain't drake" hits so different rn😂

I'm hopin' I don't look down Ayy, long enough to see me drown And if I ever come down I'll be fallin' on the solid ground Fallin' on the solid ground Ayy, long enough to see me drown And if I ever come down I'll be fallin' on the solid ground Today, I had a conversation with one of my bros My homie, he's been close to me since we were six years old He calls my mama, "Mom, " he seen all of my highs and lows From school fights to sharin' clothes From B-ball to fuckin' hoes He sat me down and let me know some things he never told me Things he never got a chance to say or even show me He said, "I know I don't tell you often, maybe not even at all But I'm so proud of you and your success, broski And I admire how you chase your dreams, that shit's courageous Thank you for never switchin' up when you got rich and famous Thank you for never givin' up on me or havin' lesser love for me Whenever we lose touch and be on different pages I hope you know I'm here for you the way you there for me It's crazy, you done more for me than all my family tree And when I say I got your back, just know I really squeeze And make some niggas really bleed, that's really what I really mean I'm proud of how much you matured and grew, but you still you The world knows you for your talent, but I know the real you And all your trauma's behind closed doors, you'll never heal through And all the pain, you act like you don't feel, but you still do I love the fact you keep your shit together, mentally You work hard for your respect, don't need no empathy When people look you over and shut you out intentionally You always said, 'If they don't fuck with you, they will eventually But remember when I went through prison? When I did a bid and you the only one that came to visit? Put money on my books and sent me pictures of some bitches? They don't make 'em like you no more, my nigga, you just different And bro, you ain't have to pay my niece's tuition Or set me up with that new job and try to teach me the business Always quick to hold me down before you speak your opinion What goes around, comes around and that's the reason you winnin' But listen, I was thinkin', maybe Since you my broski and I been there since we was babies You can hit the bank and break me off with somethin' wavy? Maybe just a couple hundred-thousand? Nothin' crazy 'Cause I been hurtin' lately and I deserve it, maybe And if you can't do it, that's cool, it ain't like I'll be angry You still my broski and I love you, but that's kind of shady 'Cause I been goin' through some shit, it ain't like I'm just lazy So maybe you should pay me I quit my job 'cause I don't wanna work for no other niggas What maybe works for some, don't work for some other niggas Yeah, they pay good, but you know I'm a stubborn nigga Plus, I know you got my back, right? If not, then fuck it, I ain't askin' again Just don't forget who walked with you when your back to the wind And don't forget who's ideas that got you rappin' again When you lost your passion and got lazy, and was slackin' and shit And please don't treat me like them niggas that be askin' for shit 'Cause I never asked you for a damn thing I'd rather pull a hamstring and then run across some fan blades while jumpin' out a airplane While sittin' in the damn rain, while beggin' for some spare change I'm sorry that we all can't be talented and rich like you The little people still struggle, we ain't lit like you And if we bein' honest, it don't really seem like you want me to chase my dreams so I can get like you And lately, you been on some sucker shit, that's what I see, broski I hope you know that hater shit is a disease, broski 'Cause last time I checked, we was a fuckin' team And just because you got paper, don't mean that you better than me, broski I know everything about you I know every single secret I know where you rest your head at I know every bitch you sleep with I know where you keep your bread at I pretended I don't see shit You a greedy motherfucker, you been hopin' I don't be shit You been gettin' fat while I been starvin' You been buyin' every car and house while I been in the garbage I deserve everything you got and more, and that's a bargain You just wanna shit on me and see me fall, and that's alarmin' You just hopin' I'ma tarnish You don't want me to be nothin' You don't wanna open doors for me You did a lil' somethin', but you could've did a lil' more for me No wonder why your father turned his back on you, unfortunately No wonder why your niggas set them traps on you to sorcery You ain't nothin' but a phony, you a liar, you a snake And you can rap, but you ain't Kendrick, you ain't Cole, you ain't Drake Can't believe I called you family, I should shoot you in the face Used to act like you was real, but always knew that you was fake You let the fame get to your head and all it did was made you whack I always knew the day would come when you would stab me in my back One day, your money gon' be gone and I'll be happy, that's a fact And then you'll move back to the hood and I'll be laughin' when you back But you my nigga and I love you And I wanna see you win, I wouldn't place no one above you And you always been my friend since we was steppin' in the puddles Real niggas don't pretend 'cause you're my brother, you my double You my motherfuckin' twin, and I wanna let you know how I appreciate the things you show me It's kind of hard to trust niggas, that's why I keep you closely And look, I know that I don't tell you often, maybe not even at all But I'm so proud of you and your success, broski" I'm hopin' I don't look down Ayy, long enough to see me drown And if I ever come down I'll be fallin' on the solid ground Fallin' on the solid ground Ayy, long enough to see me drown And if I ever come down I'll be fallin' on the solid Can't take care of later Only intended for playin' cards Source: Musixmatch

Dope ass depiction of those who celebrate you and plot against you at the same time, this was truly a masterpiece salute young King 👑

I can’t think of one rapper on the radio touching his creativity. He never disappoints.

This ladies and gentlemen is rapping. This is lyrics. This is Talent!!

Dude is like a modern day Edgar Allen Poe, his storytelling is second to none. Don't even really care for the song that much but the story had me so hooked! Joyner can beast anything

Smiling in your face but want you to lose at the same time. Watch the snakes in your camp. Powerful message. This man is talented

This is fucking incredible. Ain’t never sleep on Joyner. Dude hasn’t done a storytelling song in a minute but he’s back and nothing changed. Also, the actor telling the story did a good ass job. His emotion matched perfectly to your delivery 🔥

This song ate in so many different ways. For the people who have been there before or are going through it I am truly sorry. God bless you all. I thank my mom for introducing me to this song

I never get tired of listening to this master piece just my favourite… 30 years from now I will still listen to this and watch it . Rotimi and joy both did a great job

Song deserve a Grammy it’s worth more than words it’s a masterpiece 🙏💪🏿

The switch up was phenomenal, outstanding. I've gotta say, when it comes to music videos and story telling this man IS UNDEFEATED!

Podcast and chill with Mac G brought me here..🔥🔥🔥🔥

When a song can make you relive that pain, and release those tears. 😢

"it's hard to trust niggas" brought a tear to my eyes. Thank you Joyner. And an epic performance by Rotimi 🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️

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.

Holy Sh!t, what a performance. Both Joyner's vocals and the actors portrayal. This was straight cinema!

Here from Podcast & Chill with MacG 😭 shoutout Sol

We all know a broskie who's "fake proud" of our success but is dying on the inside bc he or she doesn't want to see us have it. Cheers to Joyner and Rotimi for this amazing video!!!!!

What a masterpiece. Completely on it's own lane. It feels like Joyner is rapping from a place of self experience. Rotimi told this story with so much passion this definitely one that will be remembered by many. Well done men💪🏾👏🏾

Its things like this that makes me still have faith in hip hop! It aint dead yet! We need more music like this!

Yooooo. This was probably the deepest video ive seen in the past 20 odd years. Its painful knowing that even those who are the most faithful could betray u

HOLY SHIT This was incredible

Love the message behind the song, I noticed this was about how people can possibly be proud of you and be a enemy in secret, it is definitely going to be one of the greatest songs of this year, thank you for all the music ❤

This has vibes of a Stan pt.2. a new saga. Excellent penmanship. This is criminally underrated.

Had to come here after Podcast and Chill with MacG❤❤beautiful 🎉🎉

This breaks my heart, found out the hard way my broskie was actually my biggest enemy digging a grave for me. Love your story telling Joyner, God bless.

Because of my father, I was introduced to your music. You're killing it, and may he rest in peace.

Storytelling is like a drug but a good one. You keep taking it and never want to stop taking it. This is some amazing work Joyner has done 👏🏼💯

This song is ahead of its time. Might mess around and outlive it all

This song was a rollercoaster of emotions. It started with love dropped down into envy and back up to gratitude.

This is actually such a powerful song. Using the idea of someone being close to you as paranoia that they secretly are envious of you and expect to get paid and using you for your clout and money. This was extremely well done

Few people truly rapping these days. This is a true rapper

As said before, just... Wow. Absolute rollercoaster. This isn't even a tune, it's an incredibly powerful poem set to music.

Rotimi deserves an Oscar-nomination for this. Brilliant interpretation 🔥🙌🏽

Joyner's storytelling, rapping and overall production is always amazing. Phenomenal job on this project

The baddest Imagery, in lyrical vision of reality,

It’s stuff like this that really sets rappers apart. This is how you become remembered forever.

JOYNER!!!! YOU NEVER MISS! Rotimi, you brought this video alive. I literally felt the emotion!

This was so incredibly done. Shoutout to Rotimi and Lucas. Y’all are super, super talented!

This song is so beautiful it brought me to tears ❤.

Everyone really did well on this song but The broski dude truly had me in awe with his acting on this one.

Wow this was amazing. Rotimi deserves an Oscar for this with a Grammy. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

wow, yes, yes, yes. This is exactly how Joyner shines without most of those trash features. This is substance, this sparks emotion, engagement, and left me with chills. These kinds of gems are rare....something that can leave you speechless, physically still and in a glazed over state of thought. Kind of like an adrenaline rush and the mild fatigue you feel as it leaves your system....all from a song. Powerful.

One of the few that carry on tradition.. salute.. great substance incredible lyricism as he do he a problem man

Knowing Joyner I bet this actually happened

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. Beware and never expect everyone to reciprocate your energy towards them!!!

He went straight “Stan” PERIOD! The truth in his lyrics are so pure and soulful. Track on repeat! Encore!!!

So far,rap of the year for me with video performances....one love

Damn! Can't stop listening. Well done! Sent this to my son, who is trying to get into the business. THIS is what a lyricist sounds like. You told me a story that touched my heart in 4 minutes!

Haven't been so glued to the screen and on the edge of my seat from the beginning to the end of a music video. Thank You Joyner for this masterpiece. Your work is not overlooked. Gangster rap is dying but real Art is becoming cool again. Keep pushing these boundaries. Again thank you.

2M views in 7 days is criminal. This is a masterpiece. God tier

Never fails to give me chills. Joyner is just a dif breed. Always will be. Real

Ngl I wasn't prepared for the twist and I hope that I'm surrounded by real friends and take this song as a cautionary tale against certain friends that were snakes all along

This is a man who studied the greats before him. A man who understands the craft of hip hop. A concept and detailed storyline with an ill beat. This will out last most artist, this is what most artist lack. It’s a rare skill set. I’m 48 and this reassures me that someone is protecting the art. Nice job!

That was deep and so real. That's how people be for real though. Jealousy is so ugly. This was really dope. Really awesome work from the both of you.

Joyner is my new favorite artist🔥🔥🔥🔥

Bro this is one of the rawest songs ever man

The whole production of the music, the angles and scenery of the video, The penmanship of Joyner Lucas, Rotimi’s way of acting and playin the part of broski, and the message behind the song all has meaning and deep deep messaging of the dynamic chemistry of these type of friendships. The love be there but the envy always sits in the hearts of those who are secretly jealous of you and your successes

I cried listening this song . Damn this hits hard . We all have a broski in our life . Betrayal usually come from those closest to you. “ familiarity can be your enemy “ Be careful of those in your circle. History doesn’t determine loyalty. Rather protect my life and peace then holding onto anyone will to off me over jealousy .

Joyner Lucas and 'The blaze' have the most amazing immersive videos, just can't take your eyes off it. This song just started on my playlist while my screen was off and I just had to watch the video. Plus all of the actors in it are fit, love that guys eyes 💜 also Joyner Lucas is absolutely gorgeous uuuffttt

Nah this song goes HARD.. like how dare he think he is ENTITLED to this mans money. Talking about hating and he the hater. Enemies love to stay close to you “broski”….. the darkness was what he really wanted to say. But, the light was what he really said… THEY BOTH DESERVE AN AWARD . Rotimi is amazing at acting and Joyner can WRITE AND DIRECT HIS ASS OFF

4:20 cleanest transition

Just appreciate how he tells 2 sides of a story perfectly. The messages are so on point over the years.

Dre being dre if you know you know.

Given what I know about joyner and his ability to take you on a journey through a story, I fully expected, at the end, for him to be looking in the mirror talking to himself. If he stays on the path he's on currently, and continue putting out masterpieces like this track, there's no way in hell anyone could leave him out of the discussion about the greats. He's damn near already in the top 10. JOYNER NEVER DISAPPOINTS. RESPECT

Joyner and Rotimi... Y'all KILLED THIS. 10/10. The lyrics, the acting... simply brilliant.

This is CINEMATIC GOLD‼️ To everyone involved in the creation and execution of this masterpiece, 👏👏👏👏

Rotimi switch is🔥

You never disappoint your work is always flawless. Please don't change you delivery.
