This is America,

I’m a fan of Donald Glover #ChildishGambino like an OG fan back in his #PineApple days trying to be Youtube famous on #DerrickComedy and I will say I’ve liked his evolution as an entertainer from Comedy writer, Actor, Stand-Up and the point of this article Singer/Song-writer.

With all that said I want to give my own perspective on his latest song/video release of #ThisIsAmerica… In all fairness I didn’t feel the need to give my own perspective until I saw the varying degrees of response to his work from polarizing sides of the spectrum. Now, because I am the most HUMBLE and UNBIASED man I know. I feel as though I can navigate through extremes and come up with the most insightful conclusive dissection of this video without any prejudice. Did I mention how HUMBLE I am?

Now to be fair after I watched the original content I had my own opinion which I will try to recreate but after watching the different spinsters I felt as though they were a bit ingenious but also offered a different insight that I may have been oblivious too. So I decided to watch the video again and here are my thoughts…

Its a very Afro-Centric song talking about how black people just want to pay and enjoy life. Accompanied with a gospel sound that is interrupted by a GUNSHOT… and a body…. The next words are “This is America… Don’t Catch You Slipping Up… Look What Im Whipping Up.” and in my opinion what he is saying is “Fuck how I destroy my community look what I have.”

Then is combines with “Black face inspired” characterized dancing to detract from the actual problem. Now because I am a White CIS gendered straight male I don’t rate an opinion but I will continue to go on.

#CB then states how “Gunz in my area… I got to carry them.” speaking to the plight of black America needing to be armed but living in cities with stringent gun laws. They make themselves felons just to survive. #FreeMeekMills

#CB Then goes into going down the hole of gang culture partially out of necessity which then turns to ego. The one thing that can pull him out is his reintroduction of Gospel singers which could equate to his roots and basis for morality. That he dances out to then quickly puts to death and coldly walks away because “This is America #MakeThatMoneyBlackMan #DontCatchYouSlippin #LookWhatImWhippin

Then a riot starts to take place in the background of his own community that he just shot the fuck up and he is just #Stuntin about himself… In all truth references about #Celly #HunnidBands and #Contrabands earning his street cred and moving up the ranks he can now make a threat it gets silent and everyone disappears. He doesnt have a weapon and although he may’ve elevated to a point where he personally doesnt pull the trigger. He sparks a jay and the soul music comes back #FrankWhiteShit. Then the video resurrects his initial(now faceless) victim which put him in his position because it gave him his initial street cred and his following list #GotHisMoney.

The #CB is dancing in an empty lot with only one CardiB-esque type Boo below him surrounded by no one except shitty hoopty rides…. Followed by him running scared from what I can only imagine is the community he destroyed…

Basically its everything Kanye West was trying to say…. #ThisIsAmerica #TIA
