jules Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 it's a rap video about the oppression of black america. This is not a new thing. It's horrible that the same issues in an NWA video from 30 years ago are still relevant but why is it new in this one? what am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auxien Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 it's a rap video about the oppression of black america. This is not a new thing. It's horrible that the same issues in an NWA video from 30 years ago are still relevant but why is it new in this one? what am I missing? I think that's almost part of the point maybe? Shit's still going on, in ways perhaps even worse than it was years ago? Maybe it's supposed to be a sort of provocative-yet-meaningless canvas to allow everyone to read whatever they want into it? (Glover is refusing to discuss the intentions behind it so that's partly the case) ...definitely seems to reference the 70s/80s period with the choice of cars in the video, but definitely referencing other things as well in the music (gospel choirs, blues/spirituals/etc., current hip hop trends as well in stark contrast, and so on) But I dunno, really. There's a shit ton of discussion in video and articles about it I haven't watched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr_Nova Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 it's a rap video about the oppression of black america. This is not a new thing. It's horrible that the same issues in an NWA video from 30 years ago are still relevant but why is it new in this one? what am I missing? This one's highly stylized. And also the issue is still there, so there needs to continue being art that addresses it. + Gambino connects with more people than NWA did, because NWA scared old people and CG seems like he'd probably be a good and respectful grandson (even though he's shooting people dead in his music vid. He's just got that Elvis charm.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ignatius Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 same. everything is a conversation i guess. someone makes a thing and someone has to comment on it or whatever by making their take on it as if the original isn't the pure expression of the person who created it. "oh your thing.. but women/disabled/trans/albino/homeless circus workers/unprivileged poors though!" i thought the original was a pretty translatable universal thing that anyone could understand but maybe i'm just making a big deal out of it and should go back into 'zero fucks to give' mode which should be my default setting these days.

Zephyr_Nova Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I'm curious when the Native American communities who have been fucked over forever will finally get some of the spotlight. Not trying to undermine the importance of all the social injustices faced by black/women/LGBT etc., but I just don't recall an equivalent movement ever happening for them and wonder why it's taking so long.

Nebraska Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 ^^ right now many of them are too busy fighting their cases after the standing rock debacle. and i guess (like in that one episode of the simpsons where a guy rolls into town with a great song asking everyone for money to build a rollercoaster instead of a public park) if they don't do it with a colorful song and dance, nobody pays attention.
