Childish Gambino - Heartbeat - David Letterman 12-22-11

[Fragdaar]

I like CG but why lipsync?

[FLASHDashAway]

This performance is so much better than the one on conan

[awsemo4000]

Dave thinks Childish Gambino is a band

[7259341]

Letterman trying to be funny but coming off as a dick. Nothing new.

[Ryushihotshot]

This is just proof of why Letterman needs to retire. He doesn't even know the album of the guy he's introducing and barely remembered CG's name -- if you watch the actual intro to this. I felt bad for Donald.

[SuitsBathing]

haha Letterman sucks.

[HighWindSkies]

Love this dude.

[GiRRAPHvideos]

i like how he gets really into its really emotional and junk. but he can still censor himself

[hughmilhouse]

I like how when he gets cut off he smiles, as if he's thinking 'Ohh, I wanted to tell them about the handjobs'

[phantomdude92]

Childish Gambino is streets ahead. And if you have to ask what streets ahead is, then you sir are streets behind.

[lucasbums]

the sound quality it's so good that seems he is doing playback...

[copiousopiates0110]

come to dublin DG!! i listen to this song at least 6 times a day.

awh yeah.

letterman is a dick as always

[spoofdigg]

this dude is insane.. cant believe how good he did not cussing.. amazing!!

[forestcd6]

@EamonnEntertainment listen to childish gambino the girl and let me know if you think he sounds like lil wayne

[forestcd6]

Im not gonna lie i listened to gambino's old stufff when he sounded like lil wayne and almost didnt listent to camp. God am i glad i went against myself on that. that album is an instant classic. It pretty much is stuck in my cd player and if i do change cd's it goes right back in within a few songs lol

[EamonnEntertainment]

@forestcd6 He didn't sound like Lil Wayne? Lil Wayne is just autotune.. none of Gambi's songs have autotune applied up the ass.

[L0veepanicc]

wtf is he wearing

[EamonnEntertainment]

@L0veepanicc whatever the hell he wants to wear.

[Szabobarbara1]

I think the guy on the piano was on his way to a metal show and stumbled upon a hip-hop performance be accident.

[lucaslubin]

@Szabobarbara1 You must be new around here... Dude's been with Childish for quite some time.

[YomiDiction]

@Szabobarbara1 Yes, because hip-hop is about your hair length and skin colour. As soon as people start seeing past the need to even make this kind of pointless observation, we can start appreciating the art for what it is, instead of wondering what the person you're seeing SHOULD be doing in order to conform to your stereotypes.

[Szabobarbara1]

Pitchfork's reviews are legit ridiculous, it almost seems like sometimes they write them just to get a rise out of people. Gambino is amazing.

[BigManStapo]

Reviews are a crock of shit,come up with your own opinion. I love Gambino, refreshing from most generic rappers!

[mjmoody3831]

read the review of Camp over at Pitchfork

[Yayoballer]

@mjmoody3831 too scared to form your own opinion? derp derp, buuut buut pitchfork says....

[iaaaannnn]

watch?v=T7dBc2Klbno

FUCK SWAG.

TBOTEOE. > 2012.

[Mooktopia]

this guy is so fukn corny

[sexythang902]

I <3 me some GAMBINO!!!

[rdjc02]

Letterman has no heartbeat hes a backpacker!

[roomraida69]

@rdjc02 LMFAO SWEET SWEET DICKS IN MY MOUTH. that shit was funny.

[jeremycohen96]

If this was muted I would think he was doing stand-up... He just paces back and forth the entire time..

[doublefeature]

@jeremycohen96 true but not every rapper has to point to the crowd, throw his hands in the air, grab their dick, etc., when performing.

[tincanonastring]

awwwwwwww his cheeky smile when letterman cut him off. n he's holding his sleeve at the beginning lol cute

[yungeinstien94]

Perfect live performance...was he in new york all day cuz he wore the same thing he was on 106 and park with. but anyway check me out im a 17 year old rapper from copperas cove texas. comment on my page and tell me what you think

[Tytor]

1 person has no heartbeat

[graysonfromohio]

Only reason Letterman cut him off is because he was out of time. Entirely due to the fact that he spent a good minute and a half before he performed, dicking around with the album cover

[diviningdick]

wow. this makes eddie murphy's "party all the time" sound listenable. just embarrassing.

[CaRcypher]

dubstep and rap?

lol wow..the world has changed

[DaStreets]

@CaRcypher This is not dubstep...its electro, learn your music

[craig44]

He's awkward when he performs.

[GoliathWarfare]

@craig44 The correct term you're looking for is "Childish."

[BigBangTheory92]

@craig44 Go see em live he's way better...

[Robological]

@craig44

Dead crowds make performances awkward.

[Dan95]

Why is everyone bad mouthing David Lettermen. I am a huge fan of CG and I am just happy he is finally getting discovered. Preforming on Conan is good and all but you haven't made it until you preform on Lettermen, and granted this isn't David's "taste or genre" but who gives a shit CG did amazing!

[BigBangTheory92]

He was on 106 & Park earlier with the same outfit, only he can pull that off.

He's that amazing.

[TheeAnthony2115]

@BigBangTheory92 Noticed that! hahaha

[BigBangTheory92]

@TheeAnthony2115 #Swavey

[critizzle]

letterman cut him off cause he's a fucking dick and always will be

[TheActualMcFly]

Oh face @2:36 lol

[TheActualMcFly]

Oh face @2:36 lol

[nicholasmora11]

david letterman is fucked up!!!!

[Mariooo57]

he looks disappointed as fuck :'(

[Havic366]

Wowwww, great chorus/hook "...that I am ready to go..." and then I hear the verses and I'm like NOOOOOOO this is R RATED I can't blast this music in my house with mummy and daddy...

[boshe3232]

The disappointment in Childish Gambino's eyes when he couldn't do the last punchline is sooo depressing

[Mestman32]

Killed the repeat button.

[sportgeuis100]

really they have time to try to open album but can't even let him finish the song, Conan O'Brien did :/

[MetalHeadMorena420]

I LOVE THIS MAN!!! HE HAS TALENT OOZING OUT OF EVERY PORE IN HIS BODY!!!!

[JabBabbity]

Letterman seems like he wants to get him off the stage as quickly as possible.

[teenagewasteland515]

letterman cut him off because he didnt want him to talk about getting adequate handjobs

[terriblecrashh]

@teenagewasteland515 on tv appearances he changes the end part to say something more tv friendly. 

[teenagewasteland515]

@terriblecrashh no he doesnt he said on conan "You give really adequate handjobs"

[doublefeature]

@teenagewasteland515 he obv improvs different lines sometimes. but the actual line on the album reads - 'not rly.. you say the nastiest shit in bed & i love it.'

[teenagewasteland515]

@doublefeature i know what the actual line is but he can't say that live so he says the adequate handjobs line. i've seen him do it more than once.

[musicisallofme]

@teenagewasteland515 Album version is "But not really. You say nasty shit in bed and it's really awesome."

[teenagewasteland515]

@musicisallofme i know the album version. like i said he can't say that line when he does tv appearances so he says the adequate handjobs line

[tomgorblues]

This is Great !

[makisov]

Who knew an actor could rap. He might be better than Big Willy.

[mjmoody3831]

not good at all. stay behind a dj

[Cudifying]

@mjmoody3831 LMAO dude listen to his song 'bonfire' and then comment on this and back up your trash talking

[SlickTV1]

is it me or did he say "you go and make breakfast and he walks around naked?"

btw Beyonce and Luis Ortega had an affair she has his kid press just released this information

search it

[whitetiger091]

Yeah you can clearly see he was kinda pissed at the end. I was too, I wanted to know if he was going to say something different. Fuckin Letterman -__-

[TheeAnthony2115]

Cant believe Letterman cut off the punchline.

[gd1f]

@TheeAnthony2115 Yeah you could see the disappointment in Donald's face 

[FelixtheMai]

@TheeAnthony2115 another reason why Conan's the best.

[WASAAAAAAAAAABI]

Yes! I found it!
