Childish Gambino - This is America (Official Video)

[Guvnor]

Young Thug and 21 adlibs on this?

With that said this song is dope. It remind me of somethign old Wyclef would do a little with Justin Timberlake like production. However I don't get the outrage behind the video. Are they trying to say he is dancing like a racist character like a minstrel character or something?

Childish Gambino Wanted to Make a "We Are The World" Song With Rappers on "This Is America"


"This news came to light during WNYC's new interview with Ibra Ake, one of the producers of Gambino's "This Is America" music video alongside Fam Rothstein."

"Elsewhere in Ake's interview with WYNC, he touches on some of the larger goals of the music video. "Our goal is to normalize blackness, and I feel like we don’t really think of it in that editorial way," Ake notes. "It’s, like, this is how we would like to dance, but we have to be aware of the danger and the politics of how we’re perceived and the implications of the history of how we were treated. There’s all this math you’re constantly doing expressing yourself […] We’re trying to not have to explain ourselves to others and just exist, and not censor what our existence looks like as people."

“We reduced it to a feeling―a very black feeling, a very violent feeling, but also a very fun feeling," he says. "If you’re at the club and there’s a shooting outside, you still have to go get food afterwards and you have to compartmentalize that. He adds, "Being marginalized is compartmentalizing trauma to exist in the world. I cant stop being black because of trauma and discrimination. I still have to live life and forge on."

I swear statements like this really bothers me.

Im so tired of certain types of Blacks projecting their insecurities on the rest of us. And we have freely and continue to express ourselves without given 2 fukks.

Because the majority of Black folks have never felt the need to explain our Blackness to anyone

Convo got derailed at the end and dragged on for way too long.

True.

It's because Ken brought up the Open Mic Eagle cat and some of these guys are cool with him so they started Juelzing the tweet.

Lo and behold:
