Have you see the video? The symbolism is sometimes in your face and more subtle at other times. Is Childish Gambino's latest song brilliant social commentary, outrageous sensationalism, or somewhere in between? What are your thoughts?
Original video can be viewed here:
Analysis can be found here (in case you don't get it):
Most of the symbolism is pretty obvious and that type of music is not for my, however I can't disagree with the statement it makes on your failed nation.
I'm so glad you posted this. I watched it for the first time last night, and was thunder struck. It was thought provoking, and damn surprising. I have read several comments about this online, and the one that resounded with me the most stated that Gambino is fine as long as he is performing (as a black man shucking and jiving for "the man" ), but he can never stop.....he'll always be running. It's a powerful video, graphic, but I think it is graphic for a reason, not JUST to be shocking.
Brilliant!
I used it today to help someone see where their eyes are being led. And the ouchies are all on point!
