If you haven't heard of this song/video you will.

It is an interesting video, and a great snapshot of the divisiveness and alternate realities that currently exist in this country.

The music board loves it, thinks he is an artistic genius.

We can probably guess what the poli board would think of it.

What is the OT's take?

Only thing I took away is why isn’t he wearing a shirt?

I’d get it if he was jacked or something and he wanted to show off.
But that’s not the case here

That you should edit your post to tell the admin to delete your post since there is already another thread about this on the first page of the OT.

I like Childish Gambino, that being said this is ehhhh.

“Oh you have to watch the music video to get it”. If i have to watch a video to understand your song it’s not good music. Good music tells a story without visuals

My take was this is targeted to a high school level IQ, an old greedy story.

I watched it. It's pretty brilliant.

That and Freaky Friday are both pretty brilliant and satirical.

Although Friday is more funny while America is both subtle and pointed in it's message.

So he shoots some people to be shocking? Didn’t find the lyrics to be overly powerful. It’s a somewhat interesting video. Better than most.

Is this one of things where if I don’t think it’s the greatest thing ever, I’m automatically racist?

Like that overrated movie “Get Out”?

I have a hard time seeing talent there. It’s just as much junk as 90 % of the other crap produced. All he did is pretty much chant to a beat and repeat the same phrases over and over.

I think he took what he was trying to convey WAY over the top.

And its only going to give in to the people who actually think this country is that bad off.
