Video Childish Gambino - This Is America

[Race Jones]

I had to really focus on the background. I saw niggas getting stomped out, a dude leaping to his “death” and some more wild shit.


that really is america. somebody is getting stomped out right now in a hood near you lmao

drake???

:cantsee:

Musically pre-Awaken My Love he sounded like Drake. Im glad he looks to have givin up on raps because i never liked him rapping.

Plus how Bino & Drake are both actors and good at comedy.

I personally dont see the Kanye comparison

I've seen a lot people say that the video is about us being distracted and/or moving on from tragedies quickly....I don't think that's the case at all.

I think the video symbolizes America being madness and the Black American (the black man in Glover's pov) doing whatever we can to make our experience palatable. We dance, we make music, we try to get money, we have fun...only to be reminded that we just niggas in coupes via the violence inflicted on us.

I also think it showed how Black joy and Black terror coexist and are very much apart of the avg Black american life.

You enjoyed the beat ma'am. The bars are sub par to ass at best.

A part of his message he was putting out I would think. It compliments the beat

Song is fire. This is the musical satire that Cole was aiming for but this is executed at a far superior level.

You’re arguing a point way left field of the statement I just made my dude.

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

Then he succeeded song just doesn’t sound good good message and video

 

[unSCENE]

But if you actually listen to the lyrics and don’t get caught up in the delivery/flow he’s actually saying some potent shit when paired with the overall message. Especially that first verse.

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

I said goat message and vid....just doesn’t sound good and music has to sound good

But Cole can rap lol

Cole can rap niggas to sleep.
