To The Samurai Community

hey how's it going oh hey Ben you hit your ex after three months [Music] just try to slide back in like hey how you been as many comeback videos as I've done I never know exactly like how to do them but I tell you one thing this is awkward I did miss you guys and before you go down in the comments to elucidate to me how much of a garbage YouTuber I am let me give you some context back it on up first things first shout out to my boy Quincy a lot of you asking who the freak is Quince Quincy I had the honor of meeting through the power of Make-a-Wish Now Quincy could have picked anybody in the whole wide world that he wanted to meet as his Make-a-Wish and he chose me and you already know like I just feel so honored a Quincy who was eight years old has been a long time Samurai however he had been diagnosed with brain stem glioma I.E brain tumor make a wish reached out to me and for the first time ever I did a Make-a-Wish that was all virtual and all we did was hung out and we played some scary games and not only shout out to Quincy you know we had to shout your mom out too my guy thank you Natalie for reaching out to me for bringing this to my attention Quincy we love you all the samurai are here for you number two I got to meet Shannon Lee aka the daughter of Bruce Lee himself oh you think I'm capping you think I'm lying look at your face Corey wrote his Montage real quick on him [Music] remember I did the Bruce Lee collaboration merge drop now I had no idea this was gonna happen but shout out to my dude Vincent over at represent for orchestrating me meeting Shannon Lee once again another incredible experience that I am super blessed to have been a part of and that was um I was pretty much it wait wait wait wait hold on hold on hold on hold on I don't want listen wait hold on okay I know you're thinking that's it that was three months worth of activities listen yes and the craziest part is one of the last things that I said was oh honestly what I'd like to do is challenge myself right I want to see if I can hit four Sundays in a row the audacity of this man but that reminds me of a tick tock that was sent to me can you Tick Tock that was sent to me many many times let's watch when you go to Corey kenshin's birthday party I already feel like this is about to be disrespectful bro happy birthday all right everybody ready where's he at what do you mean where is he at he's not in the chair stop playing Jesse oh my God yo he is always I can't believe my eyes oh my he's gonna do it today isn't it guys he's not gonna do it today it's his birthday it's gonna be his funeral he won't show up I don't think he can oh hold on that's out of pocket hold on foreign you're tripping he's gonna be back why sorry about that guys he's back I told you he was gonna be back always I must continue ready one two he's gone again he's gone again he's like a deadbeat he's always leaving he's oh my God Cory are you serious this is ridiculous okay I'm back for it Corey are you leaving or are you staying get it get it yeah you did what Corey are you leaving are you staying bro why would I leave couldn't even finish the conversation okay I'm back for good are you back already [Music] you can't win you can't win with him you can't happy birthday Corey happy birthday so you had to make me say psych like that back already [Music] me leaving is literally a meme it's a meme now here's here's the upside of that right I don't know what the upside is well I'm I'm always well rested when I come back that's that's an upside y'all not getting like rinse and repeat tired content from me it's always fresh spontaneous and new you never know what you're gonna get because I don't never know what I'm gonna upload I rest my case um this was recorded approximately two to three weeks ago hi this is the current Corey or at least um a more current version how do I see the problem is I don't know when this video is going up so even the me talking to you right now could be like two weeks in the past you know what I mean I was editing and um sifting through the footage that I that you just saw and it was coming off very haphazard very nonchalant very comical too comical and as I'm editing this I'm thinking to myself if I watch this guy and I was waiting like months for him to come back all the time and when he did come back he was just cracking jokes about it I will feel like yo he for real doesn't care and I know the OG's in the community they know me right they know they've been here they watched the whole thing you know but I could see some of the new people really feeling like wow like this guy clearly doesn't care about his audience and I couldn't reconcile finishing editing the first shooting of this video and thus I was like you know what I'ma keep some of it but then I gotta come back and I gotta speak more candidly more gratefully more authentically not that you know what I said before or felt before was like you know fake but I don't think I expressed properly and more accurately how I feel about you guys and the position that I hold and my understanding of that first off first and foremost y'all know what I'm looking for Jesus Is My Savior I am grateful to God for this job job it's the coolest thing it's the best job you could ever have right all these YouTubers all these twist streamers we literally get on here we play games or we talk and interact with our communities and we make money and that's the whole thing right we work on our own time do it when we want it's amazing it's incredible I never foresaw myself being able to do anything like this thank you God along the way you know you build your community and everything's fine everything's peachy everyone loves you it's man I can't encapsulate in words the journey but then something weird starts happening where your reach extends further than the people that know you I.E you get Clips going viral and then people that have never seen you before judge you you get an influx of new viewers who are like hey this guy's awesome and then you get an influx of people that are literally haters where am I going with this along the way the community becomes not so tight-knit anymore all of a sudden you go down in those comments and it's not everybody telling you that they love you anymore it's um this guy sucks or this y'all favorite YouTuber and throughout the years I've been able to temper my emotion towards that I've been able to acclimate to hate comments I've been able to learn how to deal with in my own way adversity deal with Ops if you will and even at 13 million subscribers I'm still taking on new challenges like now it's the craziest thing there's like a culture behind my disappearances there's like I don't want to say culture there's like it's become so commonplace that now people are doing skits about me leaving harmless you know I don't I'm not here to condemn any any of that tick tocks about me being on Playstation people saying like oh this is where he's at uh just because I want to turn on my PlayStation and you know play some Resident Evil Five what am I not allowed to do that um no it's it's all jokes it doesn't bother me at all there's even a guy named Sia the clown who's making like this whole like skit series that he like kidnapped me and I'm in his basement definitely got like some meat Canyon humor but all of it you know harmless harmless cool awesome I'm not used to even at this point I am not used to so many people caring about me I am a regular do I I promise you I am so sadly unimpressive and and to see like people making edits to see like you know people like I understand like you watch my videos and you you care about me we build a bond but it's I I'm still like it's scary I don't know how to describe it and then let's just address all the I only make videos when I need more money laughs I don't need more I literally don't need any more money okay I don't do it for money if anything I give most of my money away okay but y'all y'all didn't even need to know that much there's also this misconstrued idea that I take breaks because of my mental health uh yeah I've taken some because you know I just need to disconnect but where who said like every time I leave it was because mental health I I don't remember saying that that's definitely not what happened this time I want y'all to understand something I have a life outside of YouTube that idea just booms explode like some of y'all are like wait wait what he's not like Corey Kenshin like when he turns the camera off no I'm not and I know a lot of y'all are kids but a lot of y'all are not a lot of y'all have grown up with the channel and so I I really hope it's not the older folks that's like you know trying to stir the pot of I don't care about my viewers I don't care listen sometimes I am going to choose my life outside of YouTube over making YouTube videos that's just what it is it's not no mental health or I'll I'll come back and say like oh I was dealing with some mental health stuff if that's what it was but don't get it twisted sometimes I want to just be with my family sometimes I wanna travel um I I went on Twitter for all of those who asked and were concerned I went on Twitter I gave an update I'm doing well I'll be back soon I actually thought I was gonna upload this video like a few weeks ago that's why I said soon but now since I have been ready to come back I've seen some things in the community that I wanted to address and so I had to update what I had previously recorded to what I'm talking about now the samurai community one of the greatest communities on this platform has some issues I need you guys to relax what do I mean by relax I don't like people sending me tick tocks that's Corey Kenshin is better than your favorite YouTuber no I'm not this community is about modesty why are we call it the samurai well number one you know I watched a lot of anime when I was in high school and I was influenced by certain Samurai oriented anime and then you know I created my channel yada yada but also Samurai and body like selflessness modesty honesty um you know just awesome attributes awesome virtues I don't like seeing you guys turn into a cult turn into like Corey slander listen I'm a I'm a fallible human being I make mistakes I suck at some times at some things I'm I'm not perfect I don't want you guys moving and talking and battling online with other people because they disagree or or they might have opposing feelings about me I'm a regular guy don't fight for me don't battle for me I don't need you to do that it just reflects badly on the rest of us right because at the end of the day we chilling hey when Corey uploads he uploads we know when he does it's going to be a banger it's not that serious I know it can be hard when you read and you're first of all you shouldn't be on Tick Tock my voice cracks but I know it could be hard when you see people like antagonizing you online you don't have that that self-control you don't have that mental maturity yet to look at a hate comment for what it is and move on but try please try to ignore it we have enough going on with my upload schedule all right I need the samurai community to tighten up I don't want nobody idolizing me obsessing over me anything I just play video games on the internet so now that that's out of the way I want to properly express to you my feelings about being a YouTuber how grateful I am to you guys you guys have opened the door for me to do unimaginable things like things that I couldn't have dreamed y'all remember a couple years ago when Kevin Hart randomly dmed me because his son Hendrix watched my videos and then I'm freaking flying out first class never had done that before and just hanging out with him and his son or how about when we used to bang out those 24-hour charity live streams or the or the the crazy 300 000 one when everybody was coming through all my fellow YouTubers all my fellow Compadres were coming through and dropping like five bands and we getting everybody clean water like you don't dream about doing that stuff that is because of y'all it's the coolest it's the most it's I I can't even describe it I do not take you guys for granted I've helped my sister go through her whole College when I was in college and my parents were struggling I'm sorry Mom and Dad like I ain't mean to put you all out like that but yo we didn't have money I was looking at Pell Grants FAFSA everything I didn't have money to get textbooks textbooks be like six hundred dollars I didn't have money and I didn't have no older big brother YouTuber that could just swoop down and give me the money that I needed but you know what you guys made a way for me to be that guy for me to be that brother for my siblings think about that and that's one thing I don't come up here and talk to you guys about all the things that I do when I'm away but I will tell you this my family my friends everybody in my circle has felt the ramifications of the support that you guys gave me I'm a one-man band you know and that's the way it's gonna stay I like recording editing producing uploading by myself I know I can get an editor silly I don't want one I put my being into these videos and y'all are getting raw me pause I'm not saying everybody has to be a one-man band but I feel like a big part of it is doing it yourself with that being said because I want to do it myself I take on the burden by myself and sometimes I don't want to do it no more I don't want to make videos who gonna force me but y'all have given me a way to be able to leave you know hang out with my family take them on vacation sometimes or get them stuff they've been asking for and then you know or or maybe play some res Evil Five Tick Tock and then come back and drop bangers for you guys because at the end of the day you know I've seen you know videos people make YouTube videos about me you know losing my passion or mental health and stuff and like I said before mental health does play a role sometimes I step away just because I want to that doesn't mean I don't appreciate you guys that doesn't mean I love I don't love you guys that doesn't mean I'm turning my back on you guys I know I'm not the greatest YouTuber of all time I never proclaimed to be the best at anything I I I just come on here be myself you know hang out with you guys play games for you guys don't finish any of the games and have fun that's what it's about it's not about spreading any negativity to anybody you know aren't y'all lives hard enough as it is I'm just I'm just coming here to to try and alleviate some of that stress try to make you laugh crack a smile make some memories you know create bonding experiences y'all know how many messages I get from parents from siblings from cousins that's yo I never liked my sister before but I found out she watches your videos and we Bond over your videos Corey or I love watching your videos with my kid Corey or so many other reasons and the make-a-wear stuff the that is I love that you don't talk about me you don't compare me to anybody coryxkenshin is just a YouTuber that I watch and I enjoy his content that simple that's it that's all I should be and that's all I want to be I don't want to be anything higher than that don't do not elevate my I don't know status you know I was gonna play a game in my comeback video but but I have to dress my community in this way you know I appreciate the older ones some of the you know where I don't have to like explain all of this all the time um but I do owe it to some of the newer people to like give you some give you some clarity some understanding about how things go around here I'll wrap it up with this YouTube channel it's about taking a break from how hard the world already is that's it I want you guys to be great I want you guys to excel in school and work in your relationships I want you guys to work hard I want you guys to get where you want to get and I want you guys to be humble about it you know once you once you do make it that doesn't mean you become arrogant that doesn't mean you get to talk down to people or think that you're better I for real feel like I do have one of the greatest communities of all time you guys will go to war now I don't like that but I do love how dope you guys are how uh supportive that you guys are I want the community to stay at least mostly good it's hard it's a task it's a job you know trying to keep 14 million people like within a certain boundary you know we're gonna have our extreme Samurai out there that's like they don't care even if I told him not not to attack anybody you know that whole Nico Cato avocado thing you know some of y'all was going crazy and I'm like yo he's talking about me anybody that has drama with me or wants to start drama with me I'm never gonna like I I don't care [Laughter] yo like people thought I was about to have response videos like suck it still to this day Nico I wish you the best I I don't I don't follow your Channel or anything but um and I hope everybody's just doing awesome like there's no reason why we can't all just be awesome so I'm gonna leave um what's next what are we doing what's going on with the channel
