Lust for Life Cover -- Childish Gambino

[SunnyDD95]

I thought it was gonna be lust for life by Drake

[BreakingDC]

EVERYONE CHILL THE FUCK OUT

IT'S A COVER

HE'S NOT GAY

LISTEN TO THE ORIGINAL

[gangsta12355]

He's not gay? He just has the balls to cover this song

[JoviJenovi]

This is the only Gambino song i WOULD NOT get highfy in my car.

I mean its coo... but its not really my way of getting buck with his songs. 

[Yourmomsfavride]

Im gonna b that guy. I mean I love his music and all but did he say he wishes he hade a boyfriend?

[kashcino1]

I know at least one person will read this so make music and i would really like it if someone paid attention. Im not saying i want all of you to view my videos but if just one of you do it would mean alot. I work my butt of and i just want some attention. Thankyou

[ParthofthePigeons]

HELL YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

[TheVahnjay]

Thumbs up if you've been supporting Donald since DerricksComedy. I love this guy, honestly he is my idol.

[attuyr]

@TheVahnjay 100% agree with you

[TZstarcraft]

@TheVahnjay He's my inspiration for getting back into acting and rapping, both things I've put on hold due to Uni and working my crappy job.

[jjas123]

Who is the original artist??

[LordSuttlesII]

@jjas123 Girls.

[WaddleDew]

rachet is semi right. when i first heard him on an adedas commercial i thought it was lil wayne and spent hours trying to find out the name of the song until i found out it was a different guy, the only thing is lil waynes lyrics suck but, the voice donald is using is similar to lil waynes rap voice

[Onryo21]

If i'm a faggit spell it right I got way more than two g's

[jronniboi2]

Lol pass that t shirt thoo

[xxharajukuloverxx]

I thought this was going to be a cover of Iggy Pop's 'Lust for Life'....that would have been even more EPIC!

[thesonski93]

He made a rather prejudice remark about autism "My flow is retarded i spit autism" I love his music but making a remark offensive as this is a bit too far.

[QueloGua401]

@thesonski93 lol Shut up, Who cares? ;P

[thesonski93]

@QueloGua401 Well, me. As I'm autistic and it should be said that he's remark that i quoted is erroneous in terms of autism having nothing to do with being retarded...

[QueloGua401]

@thesonski93 I had no idea so I guess I'm sorry.

[thesonski93]

@QueloGua401 It's cool man :) I mean if you think about it some of the greatest people are autistic i.e. Bill gates, or the guy that created pokemon lol.

[steinr23]

@thesonski93 who cares? its rap

[DrTranReincarnated]

@thesonski93 It's just one of those clever metaphors he isn't trying to offend anybody.

[RachetRiolu]

If I didn't know it was him, I would think this was Lil Wayne. His lyrics sound like something Wayne would spit, especially the "my flow is retarded, I spit autism" line.

[CHEMRAPPERS]

@RachetRiolu You're a fucking idiot. Stop listening to hip-hop, lyrically Gambino is on a way higher level than lil wayne

[RachetRiolu]

@CHEMRAPPERS No, he's not. He's certainly more clever than Wayne. But their rapping style is very similar. Gambino admits to this himself in an interview when he addresses that people compare him to Wayne.

[QueloGua401]

@RachetRiolu Lil Wayne fucking sucks just by even mentioning him you fail.

[RachetRiolu]

@QueloGua401 Right. That doesn't change the fact that Gambino very obviously raps in a similar style to he does. He admits this himself.

[XxXpDizZleXxx]

Dude if anyone would stop liking gambino if he was gay then you honestly wasn't a true fan from the starter.

[DPijan]

This version is 100X better than the original.

[gstyleo1g]

does anyone know the tshirt hes wearing? i need to cop it!

[adegroot22]

is it me or does he get flat as fuck when he sings?

[JukeX21]

If any of you would actually stop liking him IF he was gay, then get your head out of your ass and you might end up open minded.

[maggmaxxx]

MAN WTF!?!?!? Damn homey!?!? Dude used to be my favorite rapper. He coulda switched those damn lyrics. LOL WTF?!!?!?

[Yoh630]

@maggmaxxx This is a cover of a song. The rapping is his lyrics though, the beginning is the cover.

[gd1f]

@maggmaxxx first of all he's not gay, it's a cover. Secondly, are you saying that you would stop liking him if he was gay? That not only proves that you're not a true fan of him, but that you're also homophobic. Well done.

[okokwegetit22]

ehhhhh...not feeling it prefer the original

[lightcape5]

#hashtag rap

[DeezyisPrimo]

i thought he did a cover over drakes lust for life thats how i got here

[ioane19]

DOPENESS!!!

[ForeverRed3000]

First he's not gay, its a cover of a song. Second, who cares if he was gay.

[freeloverokaygo]

<3



[TweezyMusic1]

19 ppl can suck chuck norrises dick

[kilerman207]

@TweezyMusic1 what the hell is wrong with you.... get a life

[engine47ff]

he might not be gay but everbody who is using the defense that its a cover of a girls song its a COVER its his version of their song he can chang words

[Catsoup44]

@engine47ff lol "Chang" words, and no I don't believe that was a typo

[engine47ff]

@Catsoup44 what?

[roosters93]

@engine47ff donglover ain't insecure like that

[engine47ff]

@roosters93 ok

[benjaminburn19]

why and the fuck do people dislike this? got to hell.

[ELECTROcuteyy]

What Christopher Owens, the songwriter, says about the meaning of the song: "When I wrote Lust For Life, I was as jealous of my ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend. We had just broken up and she had this new, cool boyfriend and seemed really happy about it. I was like, honestly jealous of it, and was thinking it would be cool if I had a boyfriend too. I would have felt happy. It's just about loneliness and stuff." Does any of this gay stuff even matter anyway?

[JacobTylerTV]

He's obviously not gay. You haters wouldnt know #swag if it extreme kayak'd down the musty waves of your ear canals.

[thenumberjake]

Why would it matter if he was gay?

[SuperAwesomePimp]

@thenumberjake I agree

[Iggysupreme]

I thought it was gonna be a cover of Lust for Life by Iggy Pop, but when I realized it was the Girls cover, I shit my pants with excitement.

[whitetiger091]

He is so gorgeous. He has this weird sexyness about him.

[grandulon]

what is this, I thought it was a cover of Lust for Life by Iggy Pop

[jareddkeating23]

@grandulon just listen.

[kneedvheed]

like the drums on this remix alot

[Extemporisation]

He's doing a cover - does it actually matter whether he's gay or not? I mean he isn't, but should it be any kind of a deal? I love the crap outta Donald Glover, community is my fave show, the man's a genius.

[evahooper123]

Gambino and Girls?! Who woulda thought of it. I love both of them. <3

[bittersweetkuri22]

I guess...

[aznboikev1120]

i want that shirt!

[whitetiger091]

This sounds better then the original.

[futuretalent19]

child gambino is the ish

[AlekYork]

My usual reaction to modern rap: "This goes on forever...Yeah I'm skipping this."

My reaction to THIS: "Why doesn't youtube just get an ongoing repeat button already so i can stop replacing my mouses?"

[wowmusic33]

i want that shirt

[kcahoon33]

He is not gay at all.

[ipodoasis]

Donald glover has the best voice for a rapper.

[osechvg]

It's. a. cover.

[bigpileofpuke]

Much respect for him not changing the boyfriend lyrics. Most black people are total homophobes

[yummyboy226]

@bigpileofpuke Lol wtf... What a racist comment!

[JustMadethisShit]

@yummyboy226 no he is being real. Most of the ones I know (im black) are. Either "no homo bruh" or "nigga you gay"

[EmJayBigPac]

not gay at all, he is obviously speaking from another's perspective. probably written from a crazy ex-girlfriend's perspective. he is forgiving of her and understanding why she is so crazy and fucked up in the head.

[antuck1]

Kudos to him for not changing the boyfriend line. Would totally have screwed up the song.

[1stpartymonster]

But he still raw

[1stpartymonster]

This nigga gay!!

[MissPegalicious]

@1stpartymonster bet he gets more tail than you

[Sk8terkid114]

@1stpartymonster he's not gay

[bill3332002]

it's a freaking cover of girls. gambino isn't gay. #getyourfactsstraight

[gcspartan9]

@bill3332002 Thank you i was getting sick of people calling him gay

[DarkChildMuzik]

What does sexual orientation have to do with music?

[whitetiger091]

this beat is siiiiick!

[Lithierwow]

Anyone know the cord progression or something of the sort?

[MrFlotillla]

hes not gay. its just the lyrics lol

[BluLantern]

is gambino gay?

[TheRootbeer2100]

@BluLantern negative

[BluLantern]

@TheRootbeer2100 ya i didnt think so, but then that whole "i wish i had a boyfriend" thing made me wonder...

[TheRootbeer2100]

@BluLantern haha yeah understandable

[steps12345]

@BluLantern yeah the intro is more a bunch of random statements. if you listen he also says I wish I had a father. and he does. So im not too sure whos point of view hes speaking from, but its not his

[dudet488]

was singing the start of this in class teacher looks at me pats me on the back and says he doesn't judge me any differently why can't every one know this song that would never happen

[DevarDLee]

i like this song but cant play this out loud, dont want to give people the wrong idea lol

[mitchy000]

where can i buy that shirt he is wearing?

[TheRootbeer2100]

@mitchy000 Jesus's closet.

[MrFlyestNerd]

ANyone know where he got that shirt?

[MrFlyestNerd]

Anyone know where he got shirt?

[heyitzmaddi]

i wish this song was longerrr.

[DrRinds]

anyone else pop on here expecting an Iggy Pop cover? lolz

[divineaxel]

i really dont understand why traphik, dumbfoundead, childish gambino, young sam and all these youtube rappers arent signed.. its horrible that some horrible rappers that just make one hit wonders get signed

[frhet0ric]

@divineaxel he was offered a deal but turned it down.

[divineaxel]

@frhet0ric yeah i know, do you know who it was from?

[Pogra01]

@divineaxel haha you do know Childish isnt a Youtube rapper?

[divineaxel]

@Pogra01 yeah i know, what i meant was, a buch of youtube rappers AND childish gambino should be signed

[KiiDJa]

I Love this Fucking song!1 :) and i love his cover!!

[TheoHuxtable07]

This nigga' just say he want a mother-fucking boyfriend. Shit's weak, dog.

But seriously, I kid. I love Girls and Donald Glover. They're both awesome in my book.

[Moreau]

gotta be honest, not a huge fan of his version but i fucking love that he HAS a version of this

[dustinANDdana]

@Moreau can u really say the original is better, comon now u gotta be kidding me or deaf

[RealShawnAston]

[AlfonsoFrausto]

[chriswickman281]

@AlfonsoFrausto American Apparel most likely

[houdini6100]

[TheLocateJ]

why is this the first time i've heard this song?

[kenvey3]

i want that shirt

[SonicTheHedgedawg]

I'll be your boyfriend Donald Glover :)

[BlowhardAnalrapist]

This has got to be one of the most unexpectedly cool song covers ever.

[xElroyJetsonx]

@WizzStatuss Of course a simple-minded person with a name like that would think so. It's called a cover, genius. And if you don't know what that means look it up.

[bennyschu33]

"my flow is retarded, i spit autism" well damn

[Buttrageous]

nice t-shirt.

[WizzStatuss]

he gay af.

[otakutaiko]

@WizzStatuss lolol

[xElroyJetsonx]

@LightHack1 Um....no he's not "joking", its called a cover. He's singing the exact same lyrics to stay true to the original song. And if you didn't know the original is by the band Girls, who are actually all men and wrote the song from the perspective of young girl yearning for a male role model in their life.

[darklink1600]

Dope shit

[laloali2]

the original song was by a band called girls, who are actually male. the band made this song from the perspective of a girl. so yeah, nobody's saying that they actually want a boyfriend.

[ASUJoshGrand]

Childish Gambino + Girls = Dreams do come true.

[DarkChildMuzik]

...He wants a boyfriend? o__o

[CheqMaSwag]

This is such a good song!!!!!

[kaishaku72]

except for the autotune

[kaishaku72]

this is good

[hdinh123]

is he homosexual?

[Liago4]

@hdinh123 No doubt he can come off like that sometimes but he talks about pussy so much in his lyrics I highly doubt he is

[TheRootbeer2100]

@hdinh123 negative but hes the fuqkin man!

[ReozShincie]

Watching 106 and park like a week ago or something. "now introducing actor, writer, rapper" me thinking (childish on 106!! finally good music) . . . .then "nick cannon" -___- ("click" ill read a book).

[FFmaxx]

@ReozShincie thats what you get for watching 106 n park

[LESBIANDINOSAURSWAG]

[Nickster130]

[miaplaya3]

@LESBIANDINOSAURSWAG Definitely not.

[steamyrobotlove]
