      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.

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.

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.

    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!

    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.

      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.

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.

    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"

    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.

    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

    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.

    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 :(

    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.

    fucking amazing, this guy has been a background character for me up until a week ago when I randomly got a filthy frank video in my recommendations. Looked around a bit, found the "prophecy" music video. Liked it a lot and realized he is actually a famous musician. Now realizing he is also the guy who invented the harlem shake. Wow, cool guy. Passion above ego all the way
