  1. The overall support for this video has been absolutely incredible and I want to genuinely thank all of you for your support and feedback. We have more things in the planning stages and your feedback will only help make them better

    I would also like to thank Slink Johnson & Shawn Fonteno for agreeing to appear in the video. This project would have literally been nothing without them. While you're here, do me a favor and subscribe to both the @SlinkJohnson and @FontenoMedia YouTube channels because as I said this project would have been me with a camera filming one of my kids and some random guy at Starbucks without their involvement.

    Peace,
    Anthony "DarkGemineye" Johnson – PlayStation Haven

  4. Lamar's roast is actually very smart.

    By acting as if he's in a hurry and talking quickly, he eliminates the opportunity for Franklin to counterattack, meaning that he can continue delivering his verbal abuse. The use of the phrase "yee-yee" is especially clever as it has very loose meanings and is utilized to further demean Franklin while not being necessarily rude, as well as fitting nicely into the rhythm of Lamar's "smack-talk" as they call it. Since a person's hair is usually one of their most stand-out and noticeable features, by ridiculing his, Lamar makes Franklin's identity feel attacked, and being shorter means that he's opened to the perspective of one taller than himself having to look down at it, making him especially self-conscious. Furthermore, by berating Franklin's female partner, Lamar starts to get very personal with him which makes the insults even harsher, while also making Franklin feel inadequate in romantic relationships. As well as this, feigning uncertainty of her secret partner's occupation and referring to contemporarily intelligent and respectable vocations such as "lawyer" and "brain surgeon" Lamar attacks Franklin's lack of a formal education and business smarts. Finally, the strange and belittling way he says "nneEegaahh" further aims to make Franklin seems foolish and by slightly squatting to make eye contact, Lamar subtly roasts Franklin's stature again, as well as his status, making him feel like an insignificant child.

    Truly, a genius in the art of "roasting".

  8. After seeing this scene many times, I have realised that Lamar's roast is actually incredible. By acting as if he's in a hurry and talking quickly, he eliminates the opportunity for Franklin to counterattack, meaning that he can continue delivering his verbal abuse.

    Truly, a genius in the art of "roasting" as those kids with their exaggerated swagger call it.
