@@tyrus9mmI think you’re missing the point of the song, with the song he is condemning violence and symbolizing how you can’t escape violence and everyone deals with it no matter who you are
@@bandoo1882it’s still not even close to a beat switch. It’s just another section in the song like a verse or stick. A beat switch is basically just switching to a whole different song with different tempo, chord progressions, sound selection etc.
I remember watching this music video for the first time being completely blown away as soon as I finish it, I started from the beginning, so I couldn’t want to listen to the song, and to pay more attention to the video itself, because for once in a very, very long time. Immediate video was awesome and relevant to the world.

Another banger beat switch that I absolutely adore from this mans is the the intro for "Me and Your Mama" where the first half of the intro sounds mystical, almost fantasy-like then it switches totally his badass guitar. It gets me everytime
Personally J Coles entire discography has just had such a huge impact on my life, I’ve learned so much from listening to his music and it has taught me so much about life and how precious and special it really is, so I would just like to thank J Cole for making the amazing music that he does
It isn’t just a sick beat switch. It’s a fuckin message that went over the heads of everyone in America. Because it is a worsening problem. He caught us slippin’, now.
bro the "1, 2, 3, GET DOWN!" also hits hard
that god damn bass hits really hard
Pretty sure the lyrics are “get your money black man” not get down

this is america goes hard.
Frrr idk why people are hating on it
@@Ally_does_stuff it is, also the fact it was meant to be diss to drake too.
Cringe ass line but it's okay when childish gambino says it cause that sounds good asf
@vonniescheaffer2766 It was supposed to be initially, but it became a criticism of America.
The fact that the beat doesn’t even change.
This is the first time I’ve registered this as a beat switch, before it was just so natural I never thought about it
Bc it’s not,the only difference is some hi hats
@@Martinyonko only difference between a choir singing and a 808 driven rap beat are hi hats??

@@bandoo1882 it’s a pre chorus to the chorus, look at other actual beat switches like on Kendrick Lamar’s duckworth
It's a banger
Ye
Its a "banger"
This song hits different after recent events
It's woke cringe
@@nandochavez4546 nah, it’s actually fax
This music video and song was a cultural reset and you can’t tell me otherwise

If they added the gun shots on the Spotify and Apple Music version it would go sooo hard

I honestly never noticed that
If you add the music video version on Apple Music you can hear the gunshots
Yet music got a dub

@@ManoharRajanlalalayeah but with the themes of what he's already mentioning, you could connect dots on different things, as an American.
🤡
and with one lyric “This is America” and so many actions that be goin on in the background
I remember watching this and my jaw dropping at this part
Bro Bohemian Rhapsody has insane change of beats
Uncle Aron be wilding
I was doing a song for a school thing bc a rapper came down and he shown us this like 20 hours after it released and I’ll never forget this song
This video caught me so off guard the first time i watched it 😂
POV it’s your first time in America but you landed in Detroit☠️
amen break straight to school lockdown
I've never actually noticed the choir saying "get your money" then switching it yo "get your black man" like fuck even the choir are spitting bars
"This is America , don't catch you slippin now"
It only gets more and more relevant.
Banger 🔥🔥
Childish Gambino is one of the most talented people on earth
My favorite part of the video, the way the entire mood of the song changes is so cool
Whole mood of the song and video is set with the John crow reference at the start…
Childish bambino is king of beat switches tbh
I was watching this while waiting for an unskipable 10 minute add to finish on my vr headset to watch markipler
Nights Frank
this^^
Literally fact’s
Hell yeah
i wish the beat before the drop on nights was longer
tru
Bro that bass after the switch is too good
Omg i remember this song it gives me so many memories 😭
Having thugger in ur background is such a huge flex
That escalated quickly
This song is still a banger🔥
“Get your Blackman”💀
technically the beat didnt change, but it still goes hard af
It did lol. The only thing that didn't change was the drums. The 808 pattern is different as well as the bass and the mixed choir humming
Props for adding the timestamp!
it really depicts the current situation of shootings in America
Yep black on black violence
Shit been happening since the Klan, this ain’t just the current situation.
Chiding gambino was here to remind you that (shoots choir) this is America💀
"GET YO BLACK MAN" 💀🗣️
Nah man, this reminds me of 2018 when my cousins Showed us this
Miss those days☹️
Bruh when he combines the chorus with his verses later🔥🔥
Can't wait to see dude in concert soon
Just his face alone, he went from “Oh wow this is nice” to “K I’m bored, shut it down”
Another banger beat switch that I absolutely adore from this mans is the the intro for "Me and Your Mama" where the first half of the intro sounds mystical, almost fantasy-like then it switches totally his badass guitar. It gets me everytime
TROY WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!??!?!!?!?
FRRRRR😭😭
i remember when this song came out everyone was talking about it. Glover is a legend of the arts
The way he was smiling and vibing and then just chose violence like "actually...hand me that-" 💀
Everyone needs to watch this 10xs in a row….think about it….watch it 10 more 10xs…..and Pray👀😭🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
They put “call me maybe” to this music video and it’s the best thing you’ll see all day. You’re welcome
can you feel my heart

You could say it really hits hard
bro just pulled a Draco on the church choir💀
bruh they were just vibing they didn't deserve that
His gun says it all

Bro this is Childish Gambino, aka. Donald Glover. lol...
@@burntbiscuit898 yeah I know, but somehow I commented on the wrong video, this was meant for a different video
Who noticed the Young Thug adlibs? 😃
Frr
This is america deserves its fame.
I was kinda surprised when people said they wouldn’t listen to this on its own
It isn’t just a sick beat switch. It’s a fuckin message that went over the heads of everyone in America. Because it is a worsening problem.
He caught us slippin’, now.
Fr, I remember I saw someone say the song sucked because of how it sounded ?? The music isn’t the point, the message is
You gotta look at the background of the whole song.. it shows a lot 😳
U gon a try that
I had no idea
Yup
I think that’s the point of the music video?
Well yeah gambino and the dancers are a distraction
Lokey I wish he included the gun sound in the official audio, it just adds that extra flavour yk
The 2016 nostalgia going crazy
2018*
This beat kills bro
💀💀💀💀
This hits harder than my dad
The nostalgia hit me so hard me and my uncle used to listen to this in the car all the time while I watched the vid
"This is america" goes over so much ppl heads 😯..
Gambino: This Is America!
Thugger:dOnt CaTCh yoU sLipPinG UP
Edit: OMG MOM IM FAMOUS 😊
Beep boop🤖🤖🤖
childish gambino always has the best transitions prove me wrong
I agree
I still remember this one caused quite some noise back in early 2018 when it was released!
Troy is wildin yall
Me and your Mama is probably Childish Gambino’s best tbh
