Explain how this video has any relevance to modern America.
>>768549252
It doesn't it is just hyped up by anyone trying to be relevant in biased liberal media or insecure social media.
I mean Gambino is dancing like that Clark nigger did in Sacramento in the city hall meeting for his dead brother. Plus Gambino is the whitest nigger you will meet, everything is going according to his plan.
>>768549252
If you don't get it, then you're too far gone. It still blows my mind that people have a hard time understanding conceptual art or anything that isn't literal. Go watch Transformers or one of those gay Marvel movies since they seem to be more your speed.

>It doesn't it is just hyped up by anyone trying to be relevant in biased liberal media or insecure social media.
You've been bought and paid for
>>768549505
I second this. You can act like it has no meaning, but that probably means you are just a fucking moron.
What more American than blacks killing blacks?
>>768549505
The music video yes, but the song, is complete trash and has 0 substance. without the visual aspect backing it, the song means almost nothing.
I believe he is commenting on the irresponsibility of the African American youth as they cover up their downfall with trendy dances, no thought on lyrics and following mumble rap trends
>>768549598
You know the San Francisco Crime Statistics Bureau isn't real right?
>>768549252
Yeah, it's been decades since the church shooting.
How is that even relevant to modern taste
>>768549698
>without the visual aspect backing it, the song means almost nothing.
I've heard this complaint a lot, and it's a stupid complaint. Yeah. You can't have one without the other. You need both for it to make sense. This isn't a song you're supposed to bump in your car or listen to without the context of the video. This isn't a criticism.
>>768549698
That's the point I make to anyone who dares bring this bullshit up.
I've followed Donald Glover's career for well over 6 years now, I've seen him in Community to singing covers from Tamia and working with Bun B.... fast forward to the newer "Redbone" Childish Gambino stuff.... but then he drops this bullshit and suddenly every "intelligentsia" wants to post up and drop knowledge about what? The video?! Because it's certainly not the music!
This is worst than Kanye's latest take on the medium, because Kanye's is a definite troll of the material. Childish Gambino's is an boring anthem that's two years too late. Get that bullshit music out of here, or watch the video on mute.
>>768549718
is there where you look up facts on the cdc and show the exact same findings?
>>768549505
Third this
>>768549698
I think this was clearly made to be presented with the video. The gunshot scenes, the scene where he looks like he's about bump a volleyball before he lights the joint, the closing scene, etc. What's wrong with making a stand alone music video?
>>768549252
i think because its about black on black crime and how its okay as long as you film it and put it on the internet to get hits
>>768549252
It’s Lando, dude. Also, you’re just a miserable, jealous lame-o. Enjoy masturbating.
>>768550052
>This is worst than Kanye's latest
Well, you tried. Spelling is hard, huh?
>>768549252
It's black people shooting other blacks. Pretty relevant in today's time because of the lack of a father figure to mature young adults, hence the name "Childish Gambino"
Okay, that part was a joke, but he's trying to say America has a gun problem, but its ironically also showing its black people doing all the crime.
There is no gun problem, America has a mental problem due the deteriorating morals of our society and youth. Every young boy is now seen as autistic or ADHD and pumped with medicine, and repeatedly told being rambunctious is a crime.
This song is nothing new or insightful
>>768549990
Stupid argument. Any song should be understood stand alone and independent from the video - that is the very premise of a song; delivery of a message. If a song can't do it then you have failed as artist entirely .
>>768549598
Yeah, I'm well aware that blacks kill a ton of blacks and double the number of whites as the opposite, but these "statistics" are fucky.
>>768549252
Black man killing black people with unregistered firearms en mass in violation of the law. Sounds like ultra-liberal, gun-controlled Chicago if you ask me. And last time I checked, Democrat gun-controlled Chicago was in America.
Guess I'm voting Trump in 2020.
>>768550775
Which comes first, the gun crime or the gun control? It's like the chicken and the egg, but for morons instead of philosophers.
>>768549252
Just more yanks killing more yanks, thank you for your service.
>>768549252
There's nuggets in it.
it points out a bunch of generalizations of both white and black people without offering any solutions. what's the point? its the exact same shit i can get from watching any major news network. how is this video/"song" anything new or enlightening? its literally a bunch of generalizations thrown together in one compilation.
>>768550856
Besides your apples to oranges failure of an argument, answer me this: why is gun crime higher in gun controlled cities?
Guns have been with America since the founding, but the rate of crime seems to increase with an increase of enforcement against legal gun owners and a decrease in focus on mental health.
>>768549252
It was made in modern times, in America.
>Americans discussing race
>>768549252
I dont fucking care what it means, that big headed ugly ass nigger prancing around like its cool to do so in current day is hugely cringey.
>fellow ausfag
>>768549505
What does it mean? Explain it it to me pl0x
>>768550578
brain's turned off. can't believe i found this thread again, hoping to find a credible debate, only to be hit with a spelling error. bravo.
This just in, celeb feigns interest in public affairs to boost publicity and sell records
At 11: the sky is BLUE????
Fkn niggers at it again, why can't they just stick to eating fried chicken and being slaves ?
>>768552511
in America it's discussed.
but anywhere else in the world, one race is replaced by another.
America ftw
>>768549466
sauce on clark nigger brothers dancing?
i thought gambino was just dancing sambo niggery
America sucks, the people are opressed, we need to stand up and fight. We need to love and accept each other. All the shit that people have been saying for years and years and years and years and years and years and years and years and years and years. Some people try to follow it, most people choose to ignore it. I'm personally getting tired of it. Good beat, tired rhymes, provocative video, he really believes in his message for now. Very good dark vibe to the whole thing over all. 6-10
>>768549505
You can do both damn it. Don't go bashing my marvel movies because You think they are beneath you. Jesus. Some people can hold intellectual conversation and enjoy comic book movies. Also what part of what you said was original?
>>768550052
Check cnn. Kanye just got caught with CP. he's done.
>>768551206
Now, I'm just thinking out loud, but is it possible...maybe...that people demanded strict gun control *because* a place had a lot of gun crime? And because the town is already ripe for crime and guns are abundant so it seems like strict gun laws *cause* an abundance of guns?
This is often how black cities have harsh sentencing for crack but that's because black politicians have demanded it due to crack ravaging their neighborhoods. To a simple person, it might look that the laws caused the crack.
>>768549598
those numbers don't really add up to a coherent anything.
>>768549505
>demonstrating bigotry against one thing whilst condemning bigotry against another

"If you don't get it I'm not going to explain it."
That's a woman's fucking argument. If you can't explain it, you don't get it either you fucking dead set walking cunt.
>>768549704
I agree with this, I think he is also commenting on black culture being controlled by the media/ social media now and glorifying criminal and rap culture.
I was talking about this the other day with my step mom, I think this is an issue not only in black American culture but all American culture.
I feel like the US government wants us to be stupid poor slave laborers, hence why things like marijuana are still so scrutinized and illegal. They want the black as slave laborers in prisons and everyone else to be day laborers, never owning any property, working paycheck to paycheck,
The American Dream is dead.
>>768549252
Be American....get shot?
>>768553629
You really think 75% of /b/ has anything credible to say? They like to repeat simple phrases and act like they're a god cuz you aren't a spell checker
>>768549252
black people acting like obnoxious niggers
>>768549252
>niggers
>gun violence
>shitty music
You can name anything that represents modern America better than that?
>ban all guns
>abolish the police
>muh repurashins nigga
It's just leftie propaganda
ITT: people taking the bait, HARD.

Bullshit

>he thinks he's not being replaced
Art is always up to interpretation. That's what it means to make art. Everyone arguing about it means he was completely successful in opening up discussions about all the topics he put it there. We are all sheep arguing about it.
Although I'm white so I am not allowed to have an opinion about this. Fucking niggers. I swear
>>768549252
us likes to shoot terrorists/"innocent black people" and make it seem normal and fun
he of course avoids mentioning the blm movement and the half of america who doesn't like that
>>768553974
One race...the human race...skin pigmentation has nothing to do with anything...you yanks are just racist cunts
>>768549505
it doesn't mean anything you retard, its intentionally ambiguous
it is redpilling niggers about being niggers for the jews
>>768553629
Learn to spell and try again then, faggot. You'll still make no sense.
>>768549252
It's a pile of shit that stupid people think is great. Literally, "This Is America".
>>768560182
good post
A black dude running around killing People... Seems like murica to me
>>768556358
>I feel like the US government wants us to be stupid poor slave laborers, hence why things like marijuana are still so scrutinized and illegal.
Yeah, if only you could light up all the time to numb yourself, then you'd be an intellectual free from the slave system...
>>768549252
I mean... after watching the video... He's dancing around shucking and jiving like a nigger while black people are shooting each other... That's at least what I took from it - other than the South Carolina shooting... So he's sitting there talking about his cars, his money, etc... but everything else is going on around him. I think it was a pot-shot at the current rappers
