RE: Childish Gambino- This is America- How did the media become race experts on this song displaying 60 year old racial themes two days after it's release?

in #music7 years ago

Damn good insight, Aggy!! I too saw this video, and I wondered the same thing about the insta-viral status. The media jumped on it in, like, 6.66 seconds, and esentially made it the hottest viseo in a damn long time. Hell, I hadn't even known it was out until last Friday, when I woke to find my daily news assault had been infiltrated by 10 media whores all talkin' bout Childish Gambino. (and childish is an understatement, if you ask me.) So I cued up the video and I only had 2 thoughts the first time around that I watched it. 1) Donald needs to hit the ab master before going shirtless, and 2)what the hell is up with his pants? Are those Jordache jeans from the 80's?
But I didn't even know about that Illuminati jacket. Yeah, that is pretty obvious.
Conclusion: Donald Glover is a sellout, trying to cash in on his black advantage, whilst he's just a run-of-the-mill Performing Arts school graduate from New York City, having attended the very same b.s. school as Spike Lee--ya' know, the same brutha' that no less than a half dozen articles were published this very morning, lauding his latest entry, being celebrated by the elite crackers that act as jurists for that circlejerk known as Cannes Film Festival...
And I suspect, at the end of the day, Glover will do whatever "they" tell him.
Spike Lee=Donald Glover=Yawn.
