SAA: Nah, bruh. I think this nigga just doesn’t do pushups. Not to disparage him, but if I was rich, I wouldn’t work out, either. We also must remember that he just finished filming the new Star Wars movie as Lando Calrissian. His lack of definition could be explained by the fact that weights don’t work in space. They probably didn’t have Bowflex on the Millennium Falcon.

MH: As someone who has never seen a Star Wars movie, I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure they didn’t film it in space. So what do you think the man playing the guitar symbolizes?

SAC: The man with the guitar clearly symbolizes slavery. As with most black art, slavery can be used to explain anything you don’t understand. Or Kanye. The man with the guitar is old Kanye, who is promptly executed by being shot in the head—e.g., new Kanye wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat. It is the execution of old Kanye and the death of string music.

Donald glover loving owns god drat.

thats because kendrick's TPAB album sounded like funkadelic too, so dong lover ripped that off

because the internet ripped off drat near every other hiphop sound of when that came out even down to a poem being read throughout the album (but unlike kendrick's his didnt make a lick of sense and needed supplemental material to even understand it)

campfire is donald glovers least stolen album and its just a really bad post wayne punchline album

if donald glover was even a subpar musician i wouldn't care but if he wasnt already big his music would be rotting with no downloads on datpiff and thats facts

It’s like a lot of this modern music that uses all the right sounds and elements that make it sort of nostalgic and pleasant sounding, but without any of the heart and soul of the actual music from that era. (see all the genres of music ripping from 80s new wave)

Also yeah I have to agree. I enjoyed some of the tracks on that album but it really was a grab bag of popular sounds at that time.

As far as this song, its ok. Honestly I’ll probably forget about it in a month, which I guess goes along with its overall message.

In case you had a busy past few days, Childish Gambino has a new song/video out from the 5th that is jaw dropping, artistic, and will send chills thru you with every listen. Lots of things going on in the video, the internet is alight with interpretation videos, reaction videos I'm curious what GBS thinks.

Here are some reaction vids if you like those if not don't click

Surprisingly he didn't make any oblique references to the underlying problems resulting from capitalism that both led to slavery and continue to perpetuate racism. Simplifying the issue to a white vs black conflict hides the problem and the solution. The typical rap video and cultural music genre tends to glorify capitalism vis a vis the glorification of bundles of cash, shiny cars, bought women, and gold jewelry. Gangsterism is Capitalism in its most base form. Gangsterism exploits and enslaves like the old plantation "Massah."

'Alagraa argued that artistic productions, "especially black expressive cultural productions, remain deeply ethical at their core."

"And this was not that," she said.'
