  • Dude, if they ever make a Static Shock movie, Donald has to get the part. lol

  • @ss6truks dude thats exactly what i'm talking about! finally someone understands!

  • 14 people went back

  • When Someone says someone talks black or White, I take it a Different way Then most people. If you havent notice, There Are some white and some black people who do talk a Certain way. Most of You Should know what im Talking about

  • Fucking perfection.

  • Every black & half black person that doesn't act the way people want you to act needs to listen to this. I used to think i wasn't black enough(Im half black & white) when i was in high school people telling me im not black gtfo i now act myself around everyone & still get the same thing everytime from every nationality and that is that im not black because i don't act it who the fuck are you to tell me that gtfo. Love the cd also one of 3 cds i actually bought this year & it was worth it.

  • First rapper that I have listened to and loved all of the songs.

  • i could be just reading into this but whe he says

    "Jewish girls eat my meat, it's not kosher"

    u think he is talking about alison brie?

    maybe they had sex, i dont know

  • @SnipersF3 Smart Middle Class

  • @SnipersF3 Smart Middle Class*

  • @SnipersF3 Smart Middle Class*

  • When that girl kicked in singing that set this song offff! ahha

  • CG is a Hiphop Revelation!!!!!

  • Like I'm Jessie in this bitch, I'm so excited

    WOW a saved by the bell reference!!!!!!!!!!

  • @carlosv1031 i thought it was a breaking bad reference, because childish gambino talks about breaking bad a lot, and theres somebody called jessie in the show who gets excited a lot, but i guess it could be either one

  • @carlosv1031 Oh snap! I didn't even catch that before! As many times as I've listened to this song. OMG, I remember that episode! That reference wit the pill poppin was on point.

  • good song! at some parts the backing track reminds me of the song "airplanes" by the local natives.

  • CG is like a mix between Drake, Weezy, D-Pryde and Wiz.. he's amazing.

  • @PwnageCowProductions let's not dis donald by comparing him to the likes of those assholes, drake is good, the rest don't compare...

  • swag

  • " i dont act black, whatever that BE"

  • I think the 14(and probably growing) dislikes on this are probably from 14 sistas who he "has offended thee" but other than that this SONG has a real deep meaning that should not be overlooked. Possibly, the deepest by Childish, its unfortunate that radio station charts and blogs are putting stuff like "UCLA" in their top ten and stuff like "Outside" just nudges in their top 100, because the more they do that the more people are gonna misconstrue what CG is all about.

  • Childish you make my life complete.

  • "couldn't see me as spiderman but now im spittin venom, now you're payin attention pick your fuckin face up when i wanna be a superhero i just wake up, renaissance man with a hollywood buzz i refuse to go back to not likin who i was because" save the best lines for last. hellllto the yes

  • Thumbs up if you're black and you've had people tell you that you're "white" because you speak well...

  • @JayJewels93 Sorry if it's so uncommon that your illiterate brethren are less coherent and well-spoken as you are. It's a stereotype that won't die down until they start speaking understandably.

    inb4 racist

  • @JayJewels93 No Cuz You Talk White .

  • @JayJewels93 too many times man, too many times. Black people either fit in as a thug or not at all and called "white".

    Why can't I just be ME?!

  • @JayJewels93 I'm not racist or anything, but I'm tired of seeing black people on facebook speaking like they are retarded... I understand it is a cultural thing, but dammit it is so irritating... Sorry if my english is wrong, not my first lenguage...

  • @JayJewels93 that's exactly why we're here listening to this amazing artist..

  • @JayJewels93 Too many damn times bro. I always have identity conflicts because on one side I'm embarassed to talk well in front of my black friends and ghetto in front of my white friends

  • @JayJewels93 thats one reason i identify with cg

  • @JayJewels93 hell yea they used to tell me that. Now that im bigger them all then they dont mess with me at all cuz they know i'll kick their ass.

  • @JayJewels93 i get that all the time and its annoying that they assume all black dudes gangsters

  • @JayJewels93 i was calld white but not cuza tht just cuz i listen to all types of music and not just rap or hip hop

  • Comment removed

  • This song provides sooo much inspiration!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • LOL they sang this song in glee club in community

  • @bubblyblkbear213 sing a ling sing a ling ding dong!

  • First heard of him, didn't bother to listen to his music. Heard him on Regular Show.I was like cool. Watched "Community". I was like wow. Listened to his Pandora Childish Gambino Mix and heard this song. I now realized he is one of the best entertainers every and is at the top of my favorite rapper and singers list.

  • Holy shit! I just can't believe he mentioned "Things Fall Apart".

  • @atodsen13 i know! that kinda blew my mind

  • its on his EP album released march 8 2011 (the album with freaks and geeks)

  • Whiskey-sippin', wanna drink the whole bottle

    But these smart middle-class black kids need a role model

    ayee thatss mee

  • i aint gonna lie i use to hate on this dude but i never heard this song, its not bad

  • love this song

  • I'll be Snowboarding to this, this winter ....WITH MY BLACK ASS!!!!

  • How can people listen to this song and STILL hate so much on this dude? This is quality fucking music.

  • @Speakerboxxx They have never been high and listened to it obviously. I don't care if you hate rap, if you listen to this song high you will start to like it.

  • go ham

  • Hey im a smart middle class black kid...

  • "But these smart middle-class black kids need a role model" <3 this. This is a real song for sure.

  • Realest song I've ever heard, no gimmicks, no tricks. Just real.

  • @SnipersF3 smart middle class...idk where the fuck you got fire from...

  • @maju36able snipers was saying that the line was fire (read: cool) not that it contained the word fire

  • @anneki686 haha i fucking hate when that happens...

  • Whiskey sippin' wanna drink the whole bottle.

    What I've been doing since hearing Community got put on hiatus. : (

  • CAMP. 9/15!!!! I am overly excited.

  • This is my 3rd favorite song of his behind number 1 Freak and Geeks and 2 Do Ya Like.Remind you, I'm new to him.Yes I am ashamed of that seeing as to how I've been a fan Donald Glover's acting for years.

  • "Relax black chick, I think I have offended thee... Got nothin' against sistas, I just don't think they're into me."

    STORY OF MY LIFE.

  • so few people can both rap and sing. DONALD YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE BLOODY LEGEND!!!!

  • from whitch album is this it's awesome

  • This nigga sing too?That's wassup.

  • O_o <WOoow

  • I read the fuckin book, things fall apart and Okonkwo dies

  • Waaah this song is crazy, true love a first listen. Love that Rashida Jones got a holla, haha! Now I have to google and see if they ever dated. Hmmm

  • :o holy shit, love gambino, every track. but this one..socks blown off lol

  • this is the first time I've listened to this song by him, and wow just awesome, like always.

  • This song is the shit. Metamucil

  • Am I the only one who loves that Rashida Jones gets a whole verse dedicated to her?

  • got my respect all the way. Too sick!

  • Okonkwo

  • Best gambino song.

  • "things fall apart" there is a warrior of a village who is the representation of masculinity but basically whites came into his village and converted his village to christianity and destroyed their previous way of life.It shows the destructive power of religion(not saying there isnt a flip side)and the warrior is a tragic hero and was brought down from a great warrior to a causualty.his name destroyed. It didnt happen with CG Read the book for a full understanding.Hard to fit all of it in.

  • "i dont act black, whatever that be" that one line tells my life story to all the ignorant white people that would say "you act white" or "you dont act black" because i would talk properly FUCKK YOU BITCH

  • @dekarispp word!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @dekarispp Whatever That Means

  • @dekarispp HELL YES!!! Thank you!! I had a girl walk up to me and say, and I quote, "What yo name is? And why you talk like dat?" I felt like she set us back at least 20 years. I'm sorry that I'm well educated.... I've always been pushed away from other black people because of my style, and the way I speak. Pfft, fuck it! I act ME!!!

  • @64mattrider she set you guys back because shes speaking reflecting how she grew up? around other black people. she probably just assumed you would speak like the black people she grew up with, it doesnt mean that she's uneducated. you shouldnt look down on people because of their cultural differences

  • @dekarispp No one cares.

  • @dekarispp Ahh shut the fuck up drama queen

  • @dekarispp i feel ya bro

  • @dekarispp

    Hey man, it is so fucking messed up that people define the way people talk as black or white. The fact is the people who grow up in an area where AAVE is the language will talk like that. You don't talk properly, you talk a certain dialect of english and black people from the inner city speak another dialect of english which is as sophisticated as any other kind of english. It has its own grammatical rules and is just as proper as any other dialect or language.

  • Comment removed

  • @whybotherangel alright that's just stupid, it's not a dialect, it's slang, and not as sophisticated and certainly not as proper as the REAL English language, and it's not just black people in inner cities, all types of people live there and the way they act and speak is a reflection of that too
