Lol @ this shyt ...nikkas talking about “look how he’s standing ...he’s jim crows embodiment!”


Just for them to tell us that NO this isn’t a cynical critique on black people and their perceived apathetic relationship to social consciousness ...rather it is a plea for blacks to embrace being who we are? ... so when Gambino says “we just want to party” and “get yo money black man” it’s in a literal sense not to be interpreted sarcastically ... yes there is trauma yes there is chaos yes there is the ever present dilemma of Damocles reminding you of the whimsical nature of fate ...however with all of that said .. yet and still ... we live :ehh:




I will say that this makes a whole lot more damn sense than some of these harebrained stretch’s that people were trying to put out ... and it matches the tone of the lyrics a lot more than thinking this was some sort of new aged revolutionary memorandum :picard:

If the dances mattered. You do the electric slide at a cookout since we know that's our official dance and the two step. Maybe the moon walk.

Doing African dances don't mean much especially as a black American....I'm not catching those references.


But at the end of the day people making it much deeper than what it is. It's music....your video can't take the place of expression of voice and expression of instruments. If you need the whole package to understand....you can't make it a stand alone album/radio song. You can't have meaning in a video that is not conveyed on the audio track....it's music not an art installation at the museum, lol.
