Is the "Littlefoot Bigfoot get out the way" a direct reference to the Kendrick/Drake beef? Hasn't Drake been tryna clown on Kdot for having small feet?
The old guy laughing while crying "oh no" is such a complex reaction; it's a mix of disassociation and grief. Everyone else laughs because they are so broken they use humor as a cooping mechanism. Which Is the underlying message of the song; children forced to normalize the traumatic loss of a father and just expecting them to move past it.
I haven't seen anyone else notice this, but there's an audience member at 3:49 who's smiling and enjoying the performance before everything goes to shit. He was so close to winning over the crowd with talent, but then he accidentally achieves it with violence. 3:49
i more so perceived it as people only started to enjoy it at all when he provoked someone. before this man smiles we watch gambino take another mans cigarette from him and blow smoke in his face. he started pushing someone around, and got a reaction. this is just furthered by not only provoking him, but just straight up killing him. even worse by his OWN hands. then everyone starts to love it. push someone until they die trying to pick up for themselves. beat down on someone and make them kill themselves unintentionally. he dodged all blame and got the fame

Don't let the catchy (what a JAM) music fool you. It's about a kid without a father figure growing up poor, dealing drugs and missing school to get by. Add in the fact he had to literally kill for people to care and it's a dark reality wearing the skin of a fire party song.

@@You4Euh That's the downside to streaming versus just downloading like back in the day. If they decide to change the songs or just wipe it off streaming, it's over for you lmao. I'm sure it's on YT though.
I feel like I’ve been listening to music for a thousand years. Every five or ten years everyone goes mad saying someone is an absolute genius who has managed by chance to put their finger on the zeitgeist of their moment. This guys finger is never on his moment, it spans a universality that has to mean something to everyone who listens and ought to compel them to be better or answer should they feel they can’t. Imagine if he had been painting chapel ceilings in the renaissance! They’d have hidden shapes of anatomical discoveries amongst subversive images that contradict the orthodoxy of the person that commissioned the painting. Genuine genius holds a mirror to us (the zeitgeist touchers) while also showing us a route from the past to a more reasonable future. That’s why there are so few geniuses as most gifted people can’t do both. I hate agreeing with people and I almost exclusively like punk music but people need to watch this person and listen to his words.

@@gabrielshartinelli Regardless, the joke is that his feature was just like tacked onto the end completely unrelated to or impacting the main song. What's weird is they didn't even really tie his part into the video either. Really one of the more peculiar features I've seen before lol.
This dude lost his father during what many people consider his peak but the crowed just wanted a happy lil “performance”. I can only imagine his next album is gonna be a very emotionally charged project.
i have been playing this song since 4am, and i am still figuring it out this is a masterpiece. love this song it says a lot in a short time. in the beginning the woman said if he finished the song 2minutes you get $5, i wonder if he got it.
@destroythemindless “underrated: not rated or valued enough.” when you can take your butthurt down a notch and have an adult conversation feel free to respond to this and have an adult conversation. Between his music, acting, and creative “art” through music videos or shows like Atlanta, if you consider that kind of work art, there’s very few individuals like him. Yet what controls hip hop conversations on social media and mainstream media are one trick ponies (not a bad thing btw) like Yeat, Drake, Travis Scott, Megan The Stallion etc. If talent is actually appreciated, we’d be seeing his name a lot more. But I wouldn’t expect “you people” to be able to grasp that without “my people” holding your hand to walk you through it
THIS THA REASON KENDRICK & other niggas like him are high staples in hip hop . Takin tha life commercial , neighborhoods & communities like tha ones I grew up in are more cerebral & aware of them selves than they’re given credit . stories deserve to be told in light w more credibility than solely rap . rap is juss deemed tha most authentic .
I feel like he's just blatantly calling out the rap community for glamorizing the ghetto, the struggle, being criminals, and trying to turn that into entertainment and an identity. "You could literally kill people but people will dance to it if the bars hit hard enough and if you aint bein violent, they dont care for it, they dont wanna talk about it"
It's the look he gives after the guy gets shot and then he spots the first person laughing in the crowd. That's a level of physicality you don't see anymore.
He has such a talent as a comedic actor- and I don’t just mean bringing humor to a scene, but talent like you are talking about, really effectively communicating with that old school physical acting. Comedic acting relies so heavily on timing, nuance of movement and expression, and delivery.
my hats off for the muscle memory of all 3 doing this moves in rhythm so quickly like they trained on it their whole life, I tried just doing one and I kept doing it wrong (like switching right and left hands/foot), I hope childish Gambino would drop an album at least once in a year
Representative of the evolution of black American music. Misinterpreted and misunderstood by the masses. The death of the ignorant. The acceptance and beautification of an art form. And the eventual modernization. This is awesome
@@willyoutakethiswillyoutake5729 intelligently dissecting and analyzing an intentional work of art, the way the Gambino intended I might add, is arrogance now? Let me grab my coat, the world is doomed

So true. The beginning when he’s talking about the death of his father broke me. Part me thinks this is the about the pressure he felt needed to perform while grieving over of his father.

Choreographer is Shay Latukolan, one of the best pop and lockers out there. Director is Hiro Murai, DG's long time collaborator since the 3005 music vid. Also co-created and directed lots of Atlanta as well as the This is America music vid. Props also need to go to their long time cinematographer collaborator Larkin Seiple.
Moral lesson: people like violence,more than a straight,clean performance but as we know childish gambino there is obviously alot of meanings to this one
People went to a bar with entertainment because they enjoy violence more than entertainment? That's probably as fucking stupid as the actual message intended from the black actor turned "rapper" with the white wife and mixed kids that bitches about white people in the media.
Oh yes. There is so much meaning to derive from this. This means you’re just a little bit stupid. If you look at this as much more than a catchy tune, a cash grab and push for more fame, with a bit of aesthetically pleasing videography then 🤷♂️
Man what a weirdly jarring cut, both musically and visually to Nudy at the end. Sure there’s some deeper reason I’m missing but damn it’s a screeching halt to the vibes
He has amazing control over his dance and facial emotions! It makes me very delighted to see his brilliance in action! While he's here, give the man his flowers so he may enjoy them!
The control in his dancing/facial expressions is phenomenal! I'm so happy to witness his genius in real time! Give this man his flowers while he's here to enjoy them!
@haladitheory Not bad... hoping to see you again in the future after some growth. Get a new producer and learn to mix it yourself because i see the inspiration of ASAP and maybe bino since you're here but for example the chorus isn't really good. Keep going though bro, Kendrick, Gambino, and all the greats have 1000's of throw aways before they got to where they are. Kanye spent summers and you should too.
Crazy how that year was so fucked this completely went under the radar for me in 2020. I’m like this a re release??? 😂 all this is new for me I’m happy yet feel like i been under a rock
what you mean is bring back creativity. bring back time and effort. only a few seems to want to do that. a music video used to be revelatory. glad to see some artists still feel that feel. #respect
Donal Glover is so smart and intentional with his work. Once, one of the black audience member got shot, everyone started to love his performance, and Gambino although shocked and disturbed. He capitalises on it and continues to perform without any regard to the DEAD PERSON in the crowd; boosting his popularity at the cost of a life and acting as social commentary for both musicians and society as a whole. Also, since, the music video was set in what looks to be the 1950's, accompanied by the contrasting modern lyrics and instrumentals; he's probably saying that we're still stuck in this brutal time-period and how we should be better and BIGGER like how people were shown when Young Nudy was featured. HES SO FUCKING COOL MAN Edit: Thank you for people correcting me, it does look like the 1930's (got my dates wrong lol)
The time period in the bar is more 1930’s/40's, but even the Nudy part is empty because really he's talking to no one. He's rapping about being in top of the world and not giving anyone shit but really he's alone and disconnected from the reality of the regular people in the bar, but is still focused on the people in there instead of going on & doing his own thing. And the woman is just a sexy body - posing faceless and silent, kinda referring to how hip-hop prefers women....
Nudy is shown as a lack of progress. Black men are killed just bc they rap. They have to commit crimes and go to jail for acceptance or get street cred. Once they get accepted they perform songs that reinforce racist stereotypes This was a commentary about the culture and it wasn’t praising it
another story where someone's art supernaturally protects them from gun violence. i love this message. the old man laughing while also wincing out a "no" is highly relatable.
@@MistaZiggy this is america, where the young students in their uniforms seem shielded from the violence around them as they dance. it is specifically dancing that saves people.
I believe that everyone in hip-hop thinks your corny, but if you are truly about that life, willing to walk the walk, grab a pole, and catch a body. Suddenly you're real and your music is legendary.
For those of you who didn’t get it, They didn't care for his music til he started killing people and singing about it. Then they loved it. And weren’t embarrassed to listen to it. Bro cooked here.
Actually they started giving energy when he was moving like a Sambo in the 2nd verse, then they really came alive when the guy got shot. If you notice the man who started the uproar of joy was kind of reminiscent of Samuel L's character in Django Unchained - "Steven"
The director knows these fresh-faced boys are going to be eaten alive by the consumer, no one anticipates that someone in the crowd *** spoiler *** but we aren't treated with shock and a demand for change. Instead we get denial, quick acceptance, and entertainment. Originally, the entertainer tried every tactic to find common ground with the crowd - but nothing worked quite as well as unexpected violence. I still think about the sweet woman in the beginning calling for a mop, she knew there would be blood but there was also money to be made. Great job Gambino and crew! Loved this!
I literally wrote a whole AP research paper on glover and murai representing Afro surrealism in Atlanta and he releases this AFTER I turn it in?? I’m about to take the class again or write another 5k word essay for fun because of how deep this man goes. I’m speechless
Y’all seem to not get why Nudy was added. His part is to show how both his and Glover are saying the same things, it’s just everyone brushes over Glover’s because it sounds happy.
Gambino's part was thought provoking and had layers to it, especially when you watch the video. I see it as a critique of the negative aspects of street culture. That is, if you're trapped in the poverty or ghetto cycle, don't glorify the streets and that life. Emancipate yourself, like Frederick Douglass (his auto-biography is a must read)...he liberated himself from slavery, he didn't continue to talk or act like slave. So when Nudy's part hits, for me, it's just like going right back into slave culture / chaos. One could say Nudy was purposely trying to parody how idiotic some rap lyrics can be...but after Gambino's part, I was expecting a positive lift-off, something to take us to higher ground. Unfortunately, the end really detracts from what otherwise is a great song with unique depth.
@wildbear2472 that's a good view on it. I can see what you mean but I feel like that was the point of it. That's the reality of the music industry these days so I think it was intentional. That's what I think anyways.
@@milkimadeit But if its not at Nudy's expense it falls totally flat. Unless he was purposely being a parody of rappers it defeated the entire message. Which like, idk, maybe Glover is enough of a prick to get a guy to feature just to crap on him. But I doubt it
@skeetsmcgrew3282 I don't think it's at Nudys expense really. They're both from Atlanta and judging from the comments a lot of people haven't heard Nudy. While I get the message from the video and song, I still listen to the kinda music this song is talking about and I'm still a huge fan of Young Nudy. Gambino is a lot bigger than Nudy and I would imagine Nudy isn't dumb and understands the point of the song. Hell, they were probably in the studio together. My point is, Nudys verse fits, it's also getting him more attention. Regardless of what the attention is from it's still publicity which is exactly what an artist needs to succeed.
I don’t think it’s about mental capacity. I think it’s more about how this song is trash as fuck. It ends there. I appreciate redbone all the time. There’s a difference.
This song is so genius and its going over so many peoples heads. He is singing a rap song over a catchy melody while performing tik tok dances. And nobody cares until some contreversy. Another social commentary like This is America Shout out to Donald Glover man, multi talent
Right! Notice the emotionless, pain-toiled faces. Conveying such a painful existence that even blk violence becomes insignificant, and then "comical laughter", the Inverse of deep-sorrow. I like how he captures the (energy produced by trauma) in the room to connect with the people; now through "shared" terror and grief he is accept. treating a grieving people thru entertainment.
Reminds me of Jaden smith interview of him saying that when he was a kid he’d be more worried about the political and economical state of the world lol not everything gotta b so deep wish he made music like because the internet
Can we please stray away from AUTOMATICALLY thinking something is DOPE just because it has a hidden meaning or something? 🤦🏾♂️ That doesn't solidify it as a GOOD song or video just because it has a deeper meaning. This shit is lame regardless of what it's "really" about. Nobody is gonna hop in the car saying "Put that new lil foot shit on" 🙄😒 Yall are so easily swayed.

@@tickettofreedom5865 big facts
I feel like I’ve been listening to music for a thousand years. Every five or ten years everyone goes mad saying someone is an absolute genius who has managed by chance to put their finger on the zeitgeist of their moment. This guys finger is never on his moment, it spans a universality that has to mean something to everyone who listens and ought to compel them to be better or answer should they feel they can’t. Imagine if he had been painting chapel ceilings in the renaissance! They’d have hidden shapes of anatomical discoveries amongst subversive images that contradict the orthodoxy of the person that commissioned the painting. Genuine genius holds a mirror to us (the zeitgeist touchers) while also showing us a route from the past to a more reasonable future. That’s why there are so few geniuses as most gifted people can’t do both. I hate agreeing with people and I almost exclusively like punk music but people need to watch this person and listen to his words.

This man gets praise but is still so criminally underrated.
what lol he is def not underrated.
@coleber7389 so tell us how the way he should get "acurate" rated. You people use the word "underrated" so much without even know the true meaning.
@destroythemindless “underrated: not rated or valued enough.” when you can take your butthurt down a notch and have an adult conversation feel free to respond to this and have an adult conversation. Between his music, acting, and creative “art” through music videos or shows like Atlanta, if you consider that kind of work art, there’s very few individuals like him. Yet what controls hip hop conversations on social media and mainstream media are one trick ponies (not a bad thing btw) like Yeat, Drake, Travis Scott, Megan The Stallion etc. If talent is actually appreciated, we’d be seeing his name a lot more. But I wouldn’t expect “you people” to be able to grasp that without “my people” holding your hand to walk you through it
Millions of views in a few days is the exact opposite of underrated.
He's not on the news as much, because the news care about drama rather than talent
This man can dance, sing, act, rap, write, do comedy, produce... A literal LEGEND

@@snuffkinzzand the record for worlds longest reach goes too..
Dude is so talented.
This song mashes up in my head with M.I.A.’s “paper planes” too well!!! Anybody else feel it?
I feel like he's just blatantly calling out the rap community for glamorizing the ghetto, the struggle, being criminals, and trying to turn that into entertainment and an identity. "You could literally kill people but people will dance to it if the bars hit hard enough and if you aint bein violent, they dont care for it, they dont wanna talk about it"
Facts❤
the fact that they started liking the same song they weren't fucking with, because of something completely unrelated to it
is it the rap community or is it American ? because the police and the military are the biggest celebrities when it comes to violence being celebrated
Yea, I liked how he hit that message home with the featuring deepthroating line at the end. SO DEEP
Then you are 25% right? Congratulations 🎉?
It's the look he gives after the guy gets shot and then he spots the first person laughing in the crowd. That's a level of physicality you don't see anymore.
So true, it's incredible.
He has such a talent as a comedic actor- and I don’t just mean bringing humor to a scene, but talent like you are talking about, really effectively communicating with that old school physical acting. Comedic acting relies so heavily on timing, nuance of movement and expression, and delivery.
I love love love when I see a little troy in his eyes
my hats off for the muscle memory of all 3 doing this moves in rhythm so quickly like they trained on it their whole life, I tried just doing one and I kept doing it wrong (like switching right and left hands/foot), I hope childish Gambino would drop an album at least once in a year
This cat gets too much hate. He’s ridiculously talented and don’t mind giving EVEYBODY the finger. That’s Rock and Roll. Get over it.

Whoever choreographed this is a goat😂😂 whoever director need props too😂😂
Choreographer is Shay Latukolan, one of the best pop and lockers out there. Director is Hiro Murai, DG's long time collaborator since the 3005 music vid. Also co-created and directed lots of Atlanta as well as the This is America music vid. Props also need to go to their long time cinematographer collaborator Larkin Seiple.
Shay also choreographed Back on 74 SO GOOD!
Moral lesson: people like violence,more than a straight,clean performance but as we know childish gambino there is obviously alot of meanings to this one
People went to a bar with entertainment because they enjoy violence more than entertainment? That's probably as fucking stupid as the actual message intended from the black actor turned "rapper" with the white wife and mixed kids that bitches about white people in the media.
Exactly.
This definitely what I took from it, brought back the vibe from "This is America" 😵💫
Oh yes. There is so much meaning to derive from this. This means you’re just a little bit stupid. If you look at this as much more than a catchy tune, a cash grab and push for more fame, with a bit of aesthetically pleasing videography then 🤷♂️

@haladitheory Not bad... hoping to see you again in the future after some growth. Get a new producer and learn to mix it yourself because i see the inspiration of ASAP and maybe bino since you're here but for example the chorus isn't really good. Keep going though bro, Kendrick, Gambino, and all the greats have 1000's of throw aways before they got to where they are. Kanye spent summers and you should too.

The rkelly and isley brother videos!! ❤😂
While we are distracted by the beat / dancing, the lyrics stay in our subconscious.
I’d say,this is deep deep cultural and generational. As an ANGLO white man who has lost his father, somehow, I got it. Powerful.
Donal Glover is so smart and intentional with his work. Once, one of the black audience member got shot, everyone started to love his performance, and Gambino although shocked and disturbed. He capitalises on it and continues to perform without any regard to the DEAD PERSON in the crowd; boosting his popularity at the cost of a life and acting as social commentary for both musicians and society as a whole. Also, since, the music video was set in what looks to be the 1950's, accompanied by the contrasting modern lyrics and instrumentals; he's probably saying that we're still stuck in this brutal time-period and how we should be better and BIGGER like how people were shown when Young Nudy was featured.
HES SO FUCKING COOL MAN
Edit: Thank you for people correcting me, it does look like the 1930's (got my dates wrong lol)
Like the theory
I'm loving all the theories. This is a very erudite analysis of this piece of art ❤
The time period in the bar is more 1930’s/40's, but even the Nudy part is empty because really he's talking to no one. He's rapping about being in top of the world and not giving anyone shit but really he's alone and disconnected from the reality of the regular people in the bar, but is still focused on the people in there instead of going on & doing his own thing. And the woman is just a sexy body - posing faceless and silent, kinda referring to how hip-hop prefers women....
@@mainemade73 interesting viewpoint.
-three
Nudy is shown as a lack of progress. Black men are killed just bc they rap. They have to commit crimes and go to jail for acceptance or get street cred.
Once they get accepted they perform songs that reinforce racist stereotypes
This was a commentary about the culture and it wasn’t praising it
another story where someone's art supernaturally protects them from gun violence. i love this message. the old man laughing while also wincing out a "no" is highly relatable.

For those of you who didn’t get it,
They didn't care for his music til he started killing people and singing about it. Then they loved it. And weren’t embarrassed to listen to it.
Bro cooked here.
I get it, I'm just not feeling it unfortunately.
Actually they started giving energy when he was moving like a Sambo in the 2nd verse, then they really came alive when the guy got shot. If you notice the man who started the uproar of joy was kind of reminiscent of Samuel L's character in Django Unchained - "Steven"
The director knows these fresh-faced boys are going to be eaten alive by the consumer, no one anticipates that someone in the crowd *** spoiler *** but we aren't treated with shock and a demand for change. Instead we get denial, quick acceptance, and entertainment. Originally, the entertainer tried every tactic to find common ground with the crowd - but nothing worked quite as well as unexpected violence. I still think about the sweet woman in the beginning calling for a mop, she knew there would be blood but there was also money to be made. Great job Gambino and crew! Loved this!
The old man laughing while saying "no nono no" is so relatable.
The emotion in these lyrics is palpable. It's like the singer is speaking my truth.
I literally wrote a whole AP research paper on glover and murai representing Afro surrealism in Atlanta and he releases this AFTER I turn it in??

@@TravlingNow YAAS! I love reading about people’s diverging understanding of things.
Y’all seem to not get why Nudy was added. His part is to show how both his and Glover are saying the same things, it’s just everyone brushes over Glover’s because it sounds happy.
it's kinda proving his point honestly
Gambino's part was thought provoking and had layers to it, especially when you watch the video. I see it as a critique of the negative aspects of street culture. That is, if you're trapped in the poverty or ghetto cycle, don't glorify the streets and that life. Emancipate yourself, like Frederick Douglass (his auto-biography is a must read)...he liberated himself from slavery, he didn't continue to talk or act like slave.
So when Nudy's part hits, for me, it's just like going right back into slave culture / chaos. One could say Nudy was purposely trying to parody how idiotic some rap lyrics can be...but after Gambino's part, I was expecting a positive lift-off, something to take us to higher ground. Unfortunately, the end really detracts from what otherwise is a great song with unique depth.
@wildbear2472 that's a good view on it. I can see what you mean but I feel like that was the point of it. That's the reality of the music industry these days so I think it was intentional. That's what I think anyways.
@@milkimadeit But if its not at Nudy's expense it falls totally flat. Unless he was purposely being a parody of rappers it defeated the entire message. Which like, idk, maybe Glover is enough of a prick to get a guy to feature just to crap on him. But I doubt it
@skeetsmcgrew3282 I don't think it's at Nudys expense really. They're both from Atlanta and judging from the comments a lot of people haven't heard Nudy. While I get the message from the video and song, I still listen to the kinda music this song is talking about and I'm still a huge fan of Young Nudy. Gambino is a lot bigger than Nudy and I would imagine Nudy isn't dumb and understands the point of the song. Hell, they were probably in the studio together. My point is, Nudys verse fits, it's also getting him more attention. Regardless of what the attention is from it's still publicity which is exactly what an artist needs to succeed.
donald glover never disappoints
This song + comment section shows how severe our programming is.

This is so real, I’m here scrolling through the comments because I wanna get it so bad but I also just don’t know how to think like that
I don’t think it’s about mental capacity. I think it’s more about how this song is trash as fuck. It ends there. I appreciate redbone all the time. There’s a difference.
Saying that alone opens the door to new understandings.
Keep studying
This song is so genius and its going over so many peoples heads. He is singing a rap song over a catchy melody while performing tik tok dances. And nobody cares until some contreversy. Another social commentary like This is America
Shout out to Donald Glover man, multi talent
I caught that right away that he was doing tik tok dances! Real fans know 😂!
He’s a genius. Like common in the black culture, no one cared in the music video until violence happened
Right!
Notice the emotionless, pain-toiled faces. Conveying such a painful existence that even blk violence becomes insignificant, and then "comical laughter", the Inverse of deep-sorrow.
I like how he captures the (energy produced by trauma) in the room to connect with the people; now through "shared" terror and grief he is accept. treating a grieving people thru entertainment.
Reminds me of Jaden smith interview of him saying that when he was a kid he’d be more worried about the political and economical state of the world lol not everything gotta b so deep wish he made music like because the internet
