hes a genius no mind changing
Niggers can't be geniuses
I cant, sorry. He is, indeed, a genius
>>768052919
He's great in mystery team
>>768053085
At least I'm not a low life virgin
>>768052919
Explain why you think this though? Would like to hear your thoughts on this.
>>768053291
Your a faggot that's my thought
>>768052919
He is.
His music producers are still garbage though. It's like 5 different songs in one.. lyrics are lit though.
>>768053387
You're. You are a faggot. You are.
>>768053518
Man you really a bitch
I watched most of the video to see what the hype was about and it SUCKED! it was not music! It was not rap!. I have no fucking idea what the fuck it was!
His life is a tired meme. Just like mine. That video was Joyner Lucas tier and he’s riding his dwindling fame. It’s ‘message’ is trite and tryhard at best, it’ll be out of the spotlight by next week. That the appraisal you’re looking for?
>>768053387
I'm generally curious. Didn't say he wasn't. Why so hostile?
>>768052919
hes a fake woke fag accommodating the least common denominator of niggers and 'woke' kids who say words like 'shooketh' and 'so important'
>>768053518
truly the lowest path possible
He’s a funny and smart individual. That’s about it. Musical genius? No. Regular genius? Probably not.
>>768052919
Calling someone a genius says much more about yourself than it does for the person you think is a genius.
>>768053085
This is true. No real invention besides like Peanut Butter, and I'm sure that wasn't even true.
He's a genius in Martian.
>>768052919
yep donny g is a mastermind and an amazing musician. God bless CG he'll be in the books
>liking mainstream music
kys you pea brain cuck
>>768054333
>mainstream music
The thing is he didn't start making music that sounded like other people to become mainstream - he made really good music, and A LOT of people like it. Making it "mainstream".
.. although I'm not sure why I would even type something like that out to you and expect you to just accept that.
>>768053828
gas mask, x-ray spectrometer, pacemaker, traffic light, just to name a few. You could just do a simple google search for "black inventions" before saying something that retarded.
>>768052919
he expanded the excelency level of the whole rap culture, Kendrick Lamar is about to lose his position
I got a real "guns r bad" vibe from that video but I'm not trying to jump to conclusions. What was the message supposed to be?
>>768054509
Is it mainstream if it didn't start out mainstream but it became mainstream because it was so popular ?
>>768054509
That video is you modern day hip hop garbage. Flow unimpressive and slow. Random "woops!" And silly noises inbetween verses. He's just riding a tragedy to make his fame larger. The same message has been already done, and is vastly misinformative. Those who do the assumptions he's making with firearms are criminals and purchased in the black market. Just tabloid garbage, not genius.
>>768054608
Oh shit.
Are.. are we the baddies?
>>768054721
There were a lot of different messages but that was one of them.
>>768052919
the new song isn't as good as Redbone. Not even close. It's pretty good. The video is pretty good. Atlanta is pretty good. He was pretty good on Community. So, I'll say he's pretty good.
>>768054608
>>x-ray
>>KEK.jpg
>>768052919
No he's not. That song was garbage and the video was embarrassing buffoonery. Based on that song alone, he has worse flow than Taylor Swift.
>>768052919
he's a brilliant entertainer, but that doesn't qualify as genius
also, he's just another dancing monkey promoted by Jews
>>768054509
is that how normies think?
its not mainstream becuase it wasnt mainstream when it started out
miss me with that gay shit
truth is childish gambino is a fag
and you like fag music becuase you are a faggot
>>768054721
The normalisation of mass shootings and constant violence.
Hey guys OP here.
I honestly just wanted to see your reactions to that statement. I do think he is really daring in the way he exposes his songs with his videos. He's not trying to be your typical thug rapper. He's trying to make impactful artistic statements and I think in the hip-hop/rap scene that's good.
He's usually really good at writing lyrics but I won't pretend that was the case in this song.
>>768052919
ITT: scared white republicans
>>768053226
THIS LOL
¡Brilla de roña este hijo de puta!
>>768055840
that's just marketing though. he missed the 'thug' market because everyone knows he was a rich, successful actor before becoming a rapper. his only choice to pursue music would be the intellectual route. especially considering the majority of his fans would be people who call themselves nerd, thats the biggest market out there right now, and being "political" or "intellectual" is the exact right way to cash in on that market.
>>768053615
whatever his method, gambino is always taking a quick, sharp stinging jab at something. He's not turning mumble rap, hes using it to highlight it's idiocy. your reaction is exactly what he wanted. be repulsed. it's repulsive, on a small scale, what a few people do to other people in malice, spite and hate, but the true crime is the sensationalism of it and the far-reaching influence it has on inciting more animosity instead of addressing it. prohibiting it and harming anybody who says otherwise.

Old fag here.
I grew up through the 80s and 90s when speaking out about things was considered a huge act and carried some sort of weight when it came to standing against what you thought was wrong or a form of injustice. At some point after the Internet and social media became more common, everybody started doing it to try and get their 15 mins of fame and be noticed as a "strong brave individual who had the courage to blah blah blah" to the point that it became what it is today, a fucking trend. And since everyone online has a platform to speak, it has become diluted and over saturated with everyone wanting to act like they are making a difference and be identified as a fucking marter or some shit, wether or not they have a clue as to what they are talking about. Make a music video like this one would have most likely mentioned something back then, but we are now living in an age where the truest path you can take to change things in the world is to shut the fuck up and make some tangible moves.
>>768053488
That's kinda the point tho. We can't stay focused for shit.

>just google black inventions
I'm sure you'll get very accurate results from that. You're one of those retards who believes a nigger invented the cell phone, or was an equal contributor to the Orville brothers' work in achieving flight, right? You see infographic posts on faceberg listing brilliant black inventors and "history's forgotten black contributors to technology and society as we know it who were whitewashed out of the history books", and you just take it all at face value, don't you? Do you research any of these things before you repeat them?

>>768056866
Who the fuck still watched mainstream media? That's a fact clear as day. Very rarely do legal and registered gun owners actually do anything remotely symbolized in that video.

Every major mass shooting has been with a legally purchased gun. By the shooter.

Generally after being bullied to a pulp. The parkland shooting being a perfect example. Those ids admitted to bullying the kid even when they knew of his firearms. Lost all respect for those "walk for Our Lives" faggots. They created their own downfall.

To ad to the issue, they want to take 2nd amendment rights from responsible Americans. Yet when the school made them use those transparent backpacks, suddenly it was against their 1st amendment rights. The irony is to real. You can't pick and choose that shall not be infringed.

>>768056983
seems kinda pessimistic dont you think? someone with influence in a population or culture taking a stand and letting people that look up to them know that they understand their trauma can inspire others to make a change. glover was finally on SNL and saw an opportuinity to say something he felt like we needed to hear. he seiezed the opportunity well, and now were all thinking about what he had to say.
>make some tangible moves
id say his move was as tangible as he could have, given the fact that black people like him are gunned down in the streets whenever they try to do anything any more "tangible".
>>768052919

Note that both terms are peaking today. His albums have all come to around the same popularity, with his most popular song ever being released in November 2016 (1.5 years ago, a perfectly reasonable amount of time between albums for an artist in his peak). Atlanta won the golden globe for Best Musical/Comedy TV series, and he won best actor in the same category. That was less than 1.5 years ago. He's about to be in Star Wars as the fourth credit. He's going to play the main character in the remake of the Lion King. Oh and he just had his second son in January.
I know you're trolling but c'mon dude this guy's in peak performance mode.
>>768059510
I see your point but the fact is people aren't going to remember any of that in 2 weeks. They will be onto the next thing. And the cycle continues.
>>768053796
sauce
>>768054810
You are COMPLETELY missing the point of the video, and I understand why entirely, but you need to release a little bias to see it.
It *is* modern day hip hop garbage *intentionally*. Nothing else he's ever written sounds nearly that hip hoppy or garbage. It overuses the silly woops because they're in vogue right now and it's mocking mainstream hip hop even as it emulates it.
The whole point is about how black culture (and American culture in general) gets in an uproar whenever there's an incident surrounding the police, black men, and/or guns before falling back into complacency and focusing on the new dab or jab or whatever stupid dance move.
It's not the most profound message, but it is delivered in a supremely profound and impactful way.
>>768060552
i agree, and so does glover. ive been a fan of his for a long time, and while his subject/lens has changed quite a bit over the years, he has always had an adequate if not visionary grasp on the ephemeral nature of everything he makes. this is america actually uses it as a springboard for criticism though. hes really just getting his word in while people are listening, and i think thats respectably opportunistic.
>>768060805
Seems to me like Gambino should have chosen a different route to make a statement, if he understands that people lose focus and move on to the next trend of the week, then he should know how ineffective a music video would be, as people are just going to move onto a new thing the next week.
>>768060805
Thinks his interpretation is the only one lol. faggot.
>>768061288
What would you have him do? It's an amazing piece of art. He created an amazing piece of art. He can't control what other people are going to do with it.
He also is making Atlanta, which may not be making the same points, but he is making more lasting impressions as well.
Maybe (doubt it) he'll run for office, but he's not the best candidate.
>>768052919
You are wrong. I am right. Thanks for playing.
>>768058289
CNN being the correct alternative then, nigger?
>>768054608
You can't actually believe this, right?
>>768061367
There are plenty of other valid interpretations.
"That video is you modern day hip hop garbage." is not a valid interpretation. I don't even think he's arguing for gun control in the video. He does portray the odd fascination Americans have with guns with the red velvet symbolism, but he's clearly not focusing on "it's crazy how easy it is to get a gun" as much as "this happens all the fucking time" which it does. He's arguably nodding to black-on-black crime seeing as he (a black man) is shooting black people.
But it's obviously way more focused on the media and (particularly black) culture, which is why the song has to be in a modern, topical hip hop style.
>>768058508
dont worry
they have to keep the niggers down
they built the country after all
without the agricultural slaves who fed the entire country for hundreds of years you'd have nothing..
now we keep niggers down cuz of "their revenge"

But good for you on completely ignoring the content of that post you responded to, and instead just attacking the poster himself. Double points for basing your attacks entirely on assumptions. Triple points for pretending your assumptions, even if true, added any weight to your "counters argument"
Watching rust belt middle America lose their minds over this shit is amazing. Its just an edgy music video, but the hilarious reactions to it make it more interesting than it otherwise would be.
>>768061144
I don't doubt his motives but I think in this age this medium is ineffective. It's ironic to me that he used a media platform to make a statement that people have no focus when it comes to messages stated on media platforms. For example, back when Tupac was alive he did speak out about injustice in the black community, but there were things he did behind the scenes that he kept his mouth shut about that actually created real change, and these things didn't come to light until after his death.stuff like buying houses and turning moving black families into them and helping to get them properly educated, things like that. What I guess I'm trying to say is, if people just stopped trying to make statements, and started "buying houses" (obviously a metaphor for taking action behind the scenes), we could actually get shit moving in the right direction.
>nigger's go to when you say there aren't any black inventions is peanut butter. Literally smashing peanuts together into paste is nigger's entire contribution to society
>>768052919
this is utter crap.
is not clever in any way, it is made for withe girls shake their asses and say >gurrrl, I'm mad smart yall!
the music is shit, the lyrics just repeat itself, nothing is revolutionary or actually make you think, he just put two shocking scenes in his video clip, enough to not make him look like a racist and people are praising him as a genius 0/12
go listen to:
Hopsin,xxtentaction,techn9ne etc.
>>768062294
i actually agree with this sentiment. i think, while maybe he isnt doing it himself, donald reminisces for these days too. its hard for me to say that hes in the wrong, given my incredibly heavy bias; donald glover is actually my role model and inspiration for everything he does, not just his music. in fact, i think his song is meant to emphasize this new schism in hip hop, where only three or four artists are in it for what its roots are and the rest are in it for the money/fame game. i think donald glover is trying to lead that front as best he can, but at the same time he isnt just a rapper. not that hes a sellout, but he has a career and a family to look after. would it be incredible to find out hes been sponsering homeless shelters in black neighborhoods in atlanda with the funds he recieves from his tutular fx series? absolutely. but i think his cause lies more in line with representation as opposed to direct activism.
>>768053085
Not entirely true.
But i do think they are self-perpetuating with the civil rights campaign.
What would most blacks do if they weren't fighting their cause.
Just like ex junkies, ex cons, feminists ; they get jobs perpetuating their own environment.
a lil off topic, but are we really only going to get one more album? i'd hate to have to wait for the next donald glover/childih gambino esque pink floydish music man

What you are experiencing is called "confirmation bias". Human psychology is more receptive to new information that reinforces past conclusions. New information that challenges preconceived notions is difficult to process (because it requires reevaluating other beliefs) and the more new information conflicts with what you already believe is true the more you're likely to reject it offhand.
I do not blame you for your inability to reconfigure your worldview overnight, but your preconceived notion that no black has ever invented anything is factually incorrect.
As someone who lives in a third world country where a daily worry is getting my headless body hung from a bridge i find it so funny how much some of your citizens want to be victims.
They crave conflict and want oppression. I would trade places with any nigger in your country tbh.
>>768065482
>Factually incorrect
Except it isn't. Googling the bullshit you tried to claim only brings up a black man who "improved upon" an already established invention.

You're a genius!
>>768053085
I dunno. Bill Cosby is a chemistry ace.
this use of the term "genius.."
and im sure im just getting verbiage-baited in a race-bait thread but here: the writers for modern movies, comedy and music are not "genius" and they aren't even close to it. there's nothing genius about sitcom writing which is essentially just a working knowledge of which recognizable comedic archetypes or appreciable memes to select and inject into the shows dialogue. But he's also a musician!! well, sort of. he plays the "vocals" and the "glockenspiel" and "bottles" alongside awardwinning, lifelong musicians listed below:
Black Party (Full group)
Brent Jones and the Best Life Singers (full choir)
Julie Burkert, Gary Clark Jr., Thomas Drayton – bass guitar (tracks 1, 8)
Ludwig Göransson – bass (tracks 1–3, 6, 7, 9–11), guitar (tracks 1, 3, 4, 6–8, 11), synths (tracks 1, 2, 6), rhodes (tracks 3, 6, 11), wurlitzer (tracks 6, 7, 9), drum programming (tracks 3, 8), mellotron (track 3), synth bass (track 4), harpsichord (track 4), cello banjo (track 6), B3 organ (track 7), bottles (track 7) percussion (track 7), synth programming (track 8), background vocals (track 8)
Chris Hartz
Dan Higgins
Sofia Hoops
Per Gunnar Juliusson – rhodes (tracks 1, 8), piano (track 1)
Kari Faux – additional vocals (track 4)
Steve Kujala – flute (track 11)
JD McCrary – boy soloist (track 8)
Phil O'Connor – clarinet (track 11)
Zac Rae
Ray Suen
Sam Sugarman
Lynette Williams
This list does not include the ten+ producers who had control over the album, or the five+ arts managers involved with the videos and album art/image. the fact is, anyone who agrees with this "genius" image is just buying a corporate lie.
You know what an actual genius would do? motherfuckers? an actual genius would just learn all these simple fuckin instruments and play them himself. there are musical geniuses playing in your local symphony who compose regularly and can play everything their compositions need. this guy is an image
>>768053615
It was a veiled harsh criticism of black culture. Dancing and good music while crimes occur in the background for example...
niggas funny in his standup, but its also kinda gay sometimes
he gets a pass but its like when kanye called himself a genius and everyone just started going with it. homeboys a fuckin glorified sub 100 IQ individual who everyone happened to like at the same point in time
