joshuatxuk Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 dug his SNL performances, the second one looked like a fucking music video, really impressive for a live bit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2P2qbr-_Ps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Member Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Great stuff, Atlanta second season has also been very good. I doubt his part in Solo a Star Wars Story will be his crowning achievement though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Ooze Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 so cool and his last album was sick, couldn't believe he did that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hail Sagan Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Agree the video is great. The song is decent on its own I guess. But there's no denying that Donald Glover is a talented motherfucker in many facets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usagi Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 This is America is the first track of his that I've (knowingly) listened to. I don't like the Southern-influenced crap flow and rhymes, but rhyming and flowing appear to be largely dead in a lot of new hiphop. it's a fun track overall and I like it, but I wouldn't find personal replay value in this stuff I don't think. edit: but hey, at least the beat's more interesting than that cookiecutter 808-based shit these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usagi Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 theory: the majority of new hiphop is not actually hiphop but rather a conscious effort to make music that has its soul in other genres but is simply couched in the language of hiphop. e.g. Uzi makes rock, Yachty makes pop, Migos do... whatever overrated shit they do. hiphop, as a way of doing things, influences people more widely now than hiphop in the oldschool sense of the genre. it's a style now.

zaphod Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 hip hop is just a vocabulary at this point. it's as meaningless as rock as a classification. and old school hip hop is as dead as rock. didn't care much for the track or video. love atlanta, best thing on tv.

Hail Sagan Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 In retrospect having the song being as shallow as it is was perfect for the video. He's strongly mocking current rap here. Wish he had incorporated some fake face tattoos though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghOsty Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Never really listened to the Childish Gambino much, but that was a great video, song's not bad either but the video itself definitely outshines the actual song. There's some strong imagery and subtle messages hidden in many scenes of the video, poignant stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entorwellian Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 That was a work of art. There are a lot of psych tricks being played in the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KovalainenFanBoy Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 If the message is that black people are disposable and that we're too distracted by social media and all that see it, it was pretty on the nose. And a pretty tired message at that... If it was anything else, I might've missed it. Who is this video addressing anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KovalainenFanBoy Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 or maybe this guy's still on his "I'm not that kind of black guy" phase and addressing black on black violence, I dunno. Haven't watched Atlanta yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
