Childish Gambino releases thought provoking video
Unless you have been living under with no access to social media, then you've probably seen clips of rapper and actor Donald Glover's new video "This is America". Donald Glover, who also goes by the stage name Childish Gambino, released this video only two days ago and has already received over 22 million views on Youtube.
The video contains oddly choreographed dance moves, acts of violence, church choirs, people who seem to be in a state of panic and much more. With all this going on the video many people have create there own theories of the message Gambino is trying to portray. Some say he is making fun of this generation of mainstream hip-hop while others say he's speaking on violence against black people in America. Maybe its both. What do you guys think?
