Joyner Lucas Got "24 Hours To Live"! 

People want you to be a one trick pony with no growth or different bags

@stevie.knight, I agree with him. Now my question is, how do you feel about his response?

Nothing wrong with doing the gangsta shit for a bit. When you come back to the deep lyrical stuff it;ll hit 10x harder

Well said Joyner, sick to know you watch reactions.

I just want you to drop the album 🤣🤣🤣 and hopefully there's as many bangers on it left that equal the amount of singles you keep dropping.

They are jealous of his raw talent! JL is not very far from Em's level. Few more songs and years, he may even surpass him. I'm here to witness all that😂❤.

​@@tm-ci7txlmaoo yeaaaa aaaight

@@tm-ci7txyes sir

Lmao in your dreams my gguy. He a very good lyricist but not on the calliber of Eminem just say you haven't heard Eminem bitch@@tm-ci7tx

also hopsin@@tm-ci7tx

From Lil Dicky's freestyle on Sway in the Morning (2019) - "All my fans are getting mad at me They just wanna hear me spazzing out But I just had to put a couple smashes out" Joyner's growing in his own way and not everybody is going to appreciate that for what it is. I don't think it's a devolution, it's more of an indication that growth is not necessarily a one-way street - there are instances where you have to regress in order to move forward. Maybe Joyner's on his thug shit recently because he's going through something mentally and is re-visiting some childhood trauma or something. Or maybe he IS doing it to game the industry somehow in a way that isn't completely obvious. Either way, the music still comes from him in a way that only he can make, and I fuck with almost everything he puts out, but I will concede that more of his tracks have been starting to sound the same lately, and I know that's something old school Joyner used to hate with a passion. I just don't view that as entirely a bad thing by itself, necessarily.

I don't think anyone even suggested doing one thing - merely expressed an opinion on how he thinks he is above the whole 'gangsta shit'. There's a difference between not wanting an artist to do one certain thing and wanting them to only do one thing all the time. There's a million reasons to pick up a pen. I think it's a compliment to the artist to hold them to a standard of not needing to fall in to the common trap of what sells. And I think it's an insult to hip hop (and ourselves) when we start thinking the only way to get commercial appeal is to fall into that style. Totally understand the practicalities of life and need for commercial viability so I don't mean any hate in the slightest - can pick a million MCs where this debate isn't even worthy they are so far gone but to whom the principle applies tenfold. Totally get what you're saying too - and the beat suits the type of cadence and content - but then you kinda know what you're about to do when you pick the beat.

​@@chriscooper4205 Joyner isn't just "falling into that style", though. He's been coming out with different experimental content for a long time now - from what I hear he even scrapped some pieces from his newest album because he didn't think they were experimental or artistic enough. He released Broski a few months ago and Devil's Work 2 a few months before that, in-between releasing these bangers that most people still enjoy, so it's pretty obvious he's trying to hit different notes and tune in to different audiences. To say that he's staying in one lane or the other isn't necessarily the whole truth either way you think about it. Since we're on the point of holding an artist to a higher standard, I would argue this instead does him discredit, since you're not taking into consideration the entire scope and breadth of his catalogue as an artist. This isn't Stevie's first time complaining about Joyner using this style of rap in almost the same fashion either - hence the larger discussion and backlash on this video as I'm sure you've noticed - so I wasn't necessarily making a comment on his specific gripes within this video, but moreso on the gripes he's made regarding Joyner's development as a whole, which delves a little deeper than any one mere opinion. Here's a general statement that I believe regardless of the art form - I agree with you on the idea that we need not necessarily conform ourselves to the only medium that gains attention as artists, but I find it equally restrictive and oppressive to condemn those avenues of storytelling and prohibit utilizing them for little reason other than you believe you're above them; that they are unnecessary, or that you have some other sort of superiority complex.

GREAT COMMENT! I don’t waste time reading comments cause they lack substance but I agree with you and I’m glad I read it. Perspective is everything but we have to recognize the Arwork, hustle and level of ingenuity. Steve slept on this one. Joyner knows what his doing and I’m glad he brought back to this. Like Eminem when he would drop goofy songs in between masterpieces. Always remember to step back when your going to give your opinion on anything. This was hard 🔥🔥🔥

@@beniciobonilla2271Joyner has always come out with all type is styles, ideas, subjects, rhymes, flows ect. See the pattern? It’s genius. I agree! Just cause some people now found “the one” that don’t appeal to them doesn’t mean Joyner is not involving. I like what his doing even when I don’t like it.

Bro stop glazing 😂

😂 say this comment on every video from now on for some reason this comment hits

translation: I can't handle other peoples opinions

W PROFILE HOMIE@@thekinghomie4268

This

Yuuhhhhh

yea that coast stuff is leagues above this

nah jid does

He ain't gonna do smth for a reactor

Black rob too

The original is some much better and I like Joyner, but this was just aight.

Definately not just you bro ✋🤣🤣

You saying something everyone else is saying come up with your own then say something

@@itpolytwitch I stand by my comment. You seem very sensitive 🥺

Not art...brainwashing the youth

The song is cool, but this isn’t an original concept. The original 24 hours to live came out 26 years ago (Mase, DMX, Lox, Black Rob) came out with this exact song with the same content.

@@BlackMarq20 yea it wasn't original at all. Joyner is better than this

Lmao part of the problem man.. calling Stevie "too serious" because he's mature and doesn't fk with the gang shit and killing people by the masses just because they slighted you in some small way.. it's a serious topic when you talk about killing people.. this type of stuff is flooding the inner cities and poisoning the minds of young dudes, that's why we got murder rates out the ass with kids under 20 in these major cities, because they think thuggin and killing people is the cool thing to do. This world is fked up enough, we don't need record after record coming out where the only real topic is killing people, flipping drugs, and banging hos. It's such an old tired narrative and it's the whole reason we got young people in prison or the dirt, why so many kids go without fathers, why so much potential is squandered. I think people need to be more serious if your interpretation of it is thinking like a mature adult.. the downfall of our country starts with the culture revolving around the idea of devaluing human life.. why you think so many people are out there killing each other over trivial things like drugs money and hos? Because people have no respect for the value of human life.. they care more about their narcissistic selfish wants than they do for a humans life. World needs to grow up soon, start lifting each other up, not putting each other in the dirt.

I fk with JL. I just get tired of rappers that NEVER change their flow EVER… and I get it, that’s what they made their career on, but at this point I almost need some progress when I hear these cats. Joyner still kills it tho-no hate

20 seconds bro realized his helmet too tight

it is the joyner you "know" LoL
