Anyone seen this yet? What do you think of it? Even before I started reading into the commentary I knew there was something about this video that stuck with me.

    Loved the part where the guns are carried off in a red rag.

    This is exactly what Kanye thinks he's doing and Donald Glover is executing flawlessly.

     

    It's crazy he did this and in a matter of weeks, Solo comes out. He is able to transition between different projects so well.

     

    I saw a meme of the video before I was able to watch it in its entirety which kind of ruined unbiased opinions on the depth of the video.

    However, after a couple of views it's very strong. There are a lot of layers, a lot of the images are very startling and hit super close to the reality of our present but palatable with the music and his diction.

    I'm usually not into rap or hip-hop, but I did enjoy this song and video. I just might have to listen to some more Childish Gambino now.

     

    And the song weirdly goes along with your signature, @HappyAccident. XD

    Haha fair enough. His old music is really great, I definitely would recommend you checking him out.

    Yes, the contrast between the black mans body being dragged away like trash while the gun is delicately handled is very interesting. Lots of subtleties.

    Have you ever watched his FX show Atlanta?

    I don't know what to feel about it at first. But I started to like it after few times replaying it.
