Shaq react to ONEFOUR's new track. You reacted to In the Beginning and you loved it the boys from Australia. The new track is called Say it Again and they featured ASAP FERG
Shaq, the dances, poses, and facial expressions were those used as jim crowe like characters used for racial profiling. There are videos that explain it. I'd have recommend to watch that one as well
To everyone who doesn’t get it; there was so much going on because he was trying to show Americans how we’re so focus on Social Media and dance challenge and stuff like that we can’t see all of the pain and chaos going on not even around the world just in our backyard. Also, the killing of the people in church was about the church shootings that have happened in America. If you step back you’ll realize even though the video is confusing; the message is very powerful.
Google User So what are you saying? the news didn’t report the black man killing white people in a church because they want to protect black people? that’s the last thing they would do
Chester Bennington then you’re simply a part of the problem. That’s why so much bad and negative stuff happens because people just want to look past it or ignore it. People want to look at the positive things, but you can’t just look at positive all the time without looking at the negativity. Hell that’s why the world is falling apart as we speak because people rather pay attention to the positive than be “focused” on the negative(the shit that effects our entire way of living).
Chester Bennington ........ lmao you’re a ignorant child. I’m beautiful, a queen, and too damn intelligent for arguments on TH-cam. If you feel the need to tear me down it’s off your own minuscule insecurities. So, lol yeah you are YOU whoever the troll/nobody is behind the meaningless comments. 😂✊🏾🤷🏾♀️
Shaq there's alot of African influence in his dance and facial expressions that stem from African roots and the way the blacks were treated and portrayed by whites in America back in the day. I know it looks weird but when I looked into more and read/watched other things in regards to this video it explained alot. It's powerful stuff man. I'm an Aussie btw I just think it's a dope song with a serious meaning behind it. Keep it 🔥 bro 🤙🦘

Look up Jim Crow images, he was emulating these images into his posture and dance moves, that winky eye. The pants are fashioned after civil war uniform, the south. Every piece of this song/video has significant meaning. Dats Tuff!
@HowToMake bro... those masks arent Corona virus related... I like the way you think but notice the flickering fire behind them... the masks are for the smoke from the riots that have happened in recent history due to certain civil injustices.
No Life, the pose Donald Glover made right before he shot the man with a bag over his head is akin to the Jim Crow laws, and the pants he wore are circa 1800's. Lots of deep meanings, including the dancing meant to distract you from the violence going on around in the background (did u see the man get thrown off the second floor?). Cell phones are a tool he says, which theyre used to capture unjust violence nowadays, since back in the day there were no cell phones and violence couldn't be captured, even though violence was still going on. Also, the dancing moves were part HipHop, part Zulu/South African. Notice the gun was handled with care and with a cloth, while the body was dragged away like it had no value.
agreed, as an Aussie, I picked the Zulu/South African or tribal style dancing as expression of culture, then mixed up with the apathy of those more interested in getting famous in TikTok than addressing a county's citizens massacring themselves. It's like everyone has lost connection. Sound of Silence would be a good connection to this song - adapted to be interpreted regarding our focus on mobile phones rather than each other. :)
The dancing and face expressions are a play on the Jim Crow character with the overdramatic and flamboyant effects and all the dancing is the distraction from the things that’s going on behind him like police brutality killings basically he’s trying to say all America cares about is new dances trendy songs social media and we’re being blind by all these things that we can’t see the craziness going on in our own back yards. @ 6:06 he was referencing to the killings of them 9 black ppl by that racist white boy @ 7:17 in the background u can see a man in black on a white horse with police behind it this mean death is coming the police is the death (killing of black ppl)
@John Miller it's about police brutality and abuse of power... Idk how people aren't understanding the difference between 1murder and another outrage wise when one killer gets death row and the other Is not being charged.... It's not race, it's facts! The police are factually OUT OF FUCKING CONTROL!
The dancer are never hurt during there time on screen notice they all are Black this is a reference to how that america will make a few black people famous and then kill blacks and say well blsck people are successful in America so yeah this is fair
@Kristy Pulaski The police killings are way over exaggerated. Just think about all the encounters that police have with black people every day. Now think about all the times those involve guns. Even rarer, now think about all the times those guns are being shot. Even more rare, now think about all the times the police kill a black person that was unjustifiable... even more rare. The fact is that police killing blacks is very rare but the media wants to make it look like it happens every day.
When He shoots the 1st dude in the chair the stance he is doing is the Jim-Crow stance from back in the day, this video is filled with hidden Meanings, you should do a reaction on that, there are plenty of videos that explain them

@@neeyarahgainer1812for one the dance moves and face he's making is a play on old racist cartoons.. but there is a lot of other meanings in the video too
@@neeyarahgainer1812 The pose at the beginning when he shoots the first man is patterned after Jim Crow era artwork. His pants are like confederate soldier pants. The gunning of the choir was to emulate the Dylan Roof murders. All guns were treated more carefully and immediately hidden from sight after shooting. Man on a pale horse means death. "This is a celly. That's a tool" means both prison cells used as a tool but also cellphones are a tool specifically cellphone footage is used as a tool. And many many more.
The dance was meant to throw u off on purpose, the dancing is a metaphor meaning, some just want to party and have fun not caring about what's going on in the world
Zach Baptiste Nah y’all both are right, there is not only one meaning of the things of this song. Gambino even said that this song means what you want it to mean. It’s art
His dancing is a representation of how people are distracted by shitty entertainment (Ie the crappy/flashy dance moves) while all this chaos goes on in the background
American Youth is distracted by “culture” and the media. Leftist Media in California and New York influences people because that’s “Paradise”. Right media in the South forces people to be “normal” but they can’t change people from Democrat ton Republican.
I'm so fitted I'm on Gucci I'm so pretty imma get it watch me move this is selling that's a tool! Being fitted, pretty, dancing is selling, means people like it and pay to see. That's a tool means, now that people are paying attention to you, you can use your platform to influence your audience and bring something important to their attention! Which is LITERALLY what he did with this and video! I've always known he was clever but this is just absolutely BRILLIANT!
He also means that people dancing looking fancy is what everyone sees and hides what’s happening in the background the point is he’s distracting the viewer from the real stuff in the background
I just realized that the guy that was playing the guitar 3:27 got killed by the pistol in the start was revived 7:48 and kept playing music... Reminds me of music artists that die suddenly and tragically that are revived via their music due to the industry collecting what they think is due to them, the investments they made are not to go in vain.
@@flatbreadsub Not really considering this whole music video is about real shit happening, the choir that got shot w/ the ak was a reference to a black church getting shot up and almost everyone in there killed, this whole music video is real life in America summed up..
dancing= Jim crow choir: Church shooting Every crazy person moving around in background: america and all the bad things going on the song and dance supposed to keep you focused on the song and blind the the bad shit going on
Interesting. Is that your observation or you've heard that. I totally see the video from a different perspective now. Dancing /Jim Crow?!?!! Thanks for your insight
Ali Bilgrami The dancing is the Gwara Gwara dance and the stance with the gun is Jim Crow. Not a jim crow dance 😂 The choir symbolises the Charlottesville shooting and the dance is to keep your focus on him and not the bad shit actually happening in the world. (The background)
The same America that allows him to live in the lap of luxury and be a multi-millionaire with millions of white fans. He's an anti-American racist piece of shit.
Hey shaq, The reason he’s dancing so crazy is linked to how distracted we are by pop culture. If you look closely at the moves it relates to a lot of 20’s dance moves. That’s why the chaos going on in the background is discredited- because we are distracted by pop culture. There’s a lot of references in the background relating to the mistreatment of Black culture, male suicide, mass murder and the white horse is a symbol as well. Such a perfectly executed video. Took me 3 rewatches to see everything.

One of the moves is called "gwara gwara" whoch originated in South Africa He danced like that to show the similarity btwn RSA and USA, Look up Apartheid And you know what happened in the US
@Mitch Gill sure bruv, Apartheid was a system the Southern African goverment enforced in 1948 until early 1990s, it was set to segregate white ppl from black people and white ppl where considered a superior race, and more The US was fighting for civil rights... The comparison is a bit clear If I'm wrong pls correct me
No life shaq, watch it a couple more times. He’s dancing means the distraction of things that are going on. Look in the background when they dance. My dude is a genius.
Shaq you said you got the message, I really want you to watch the breakdown of that song, you missed alot! This is pure genius and hold alot of powerful messages behind it, plz watch the breakdown, much love n respect to you bro, n we still want our 1mil rap lol cypher was fire but we want more LOL
ItsFedoraHere His stance was the Jim Crow stance and the dance was the Gwara Gwara dance, which he does to throw you off of the background of the video, symbolising that viral dances and stupid shit are always in the news to hide serious stuff that happens.
This is an impactful song, but it's interesting how this showed somebody getting their brains blown out and was allowed to trend to half a Billion but Darkness by Eminem played some scary audio and showed someone *about* to get shot, and that had to get 44 million with no help from algorithm.
TH-cam controls the narrative. Its a message YT wants to promote, what they want people to focus on, they keep on trending. Good thing or a bad thing for a corporation to pick and choose the content that gets promoted? Thats up to you to decide.
Surprised you didn’t get this... concentrated on dance moves like the first time I watched this. This is an excellent portrayal of what’s happening and happened.
6:18 he did get the point of the video, and thats a big thing since its his frst time ever watching it, whoever knew about the jim crow and other small details the first time they saw the music vid must be a fuckin genius or some pro black history college teacher. My point is, he didnt watch the videos about the song or did his research like you.
This song is a cultural masterpiece. The dancing has a lot of traditional african cultural links and was used as a technique to distract you from the untold violence happening in the video. The same way news channels use silly things to distract from the real underlying systematic racial injustice happening all over the world. This piece of art becomes more and more relevant every day
Ay Shaq, just like how you did Mumble Mondays and Talent Tuesdays, you should start a series called Foreign Fridays where every Friday you react to music from around the globe. You need to help promote more artists from around the world. You the greatest Keep it 💯 Coach 💯💯💯
pheonix dub exactly that made me upset I was hoping for a video of him understanding the video but it was mostly him joking on it, I’m not mad I think this song/video wasn’t meant for this channel because he jokes it which isn’t the point and ruins the video and song
some of the poses at the beginning were intended to mimic the "jim crow" images from the time... there are a whole lot of double meanings in the imagery in this one coach!
@nolifeshaq you had me crying through the whole song bro. This was by far one of my favourite reactions you have ever made. I haven’t laughed this good in many years, I honestly wish I caught my reaction to yours because I guarantee you would have laughed at me.. Literally my headphones were dripping tears, you looked so confused and that in itself was attributing to my cry laughter, plus Donald just beaming Donald #community People are rite though, everything in this song has deep meaning. You should check it out and see what’s up with it. I appreciate you bro and all the reactions you do ! Keep pumping out that quality content and you have a fan in me for life ! !! Dats tuff !!
Gambino has weird dance moves but he got hits lol. Did ya like his latest album? Hey guys I make funny skits if anyone wants to check them out. Appreciate it
There’s no fun to be made about this piece of art There’s deep meaning behind everything in this video And sadly it predicted the world that we are currently living in today
also, at 7:15 that white horse with the rider in all-black represents death, one of the four horsemen, but also the white sherrifs who bring death upon black citizens
That’s the point their dancing distracts from what’s actually going on in the video just like how it is in America and how people just distract themselves from what’s actually going on in America it’s actually very accurate to what’s going on in the America today and the stance that he had in the beginning of the video when he killed the guy in the chair relates to Jim Crow
122 Scorpio I don’t think that it’s just limited to America though it’s sorta how everyone distracts themselves from what’s going on around them no matter where they live. Also you should search up CHAZ nation it’ll blow your mind
Hard to watch this reaction. I like most your reactions. This was a cultural masterpiece. Its not about no funny dancing. Gambino shared a beautiful message. The dancing represents how they make fun of black people as we are only looked at as entertainment and not taken seriously
Klean Kut Fitness, THANK YOU!! Beautifully said. 🙏🙏🙏 I must have watched Gambino’s video 100 times, at least. It absolutely blew me away. Cultural masterpiece is right.
@@lilllwizzzle He said it but he didn't acknowledge it.

@@DirtSailor5 not everyone needs to speak on everything constantly. Jesus fucking christ everyone knows the world isn't perfect. Doesn't always have to be some high strung bullshit.
The dancing was to throw viewers off to entertain you when there's a lot of things going on with the world with the chaos, violence and outrage which is what's going on in the world today.

@@Aliasrip The story is, this is America, majority only look at what the media puts in front of us, and don't pay attention to the rest of the world. For example, all the media talks about is COVID19, but while we focusing on that, we bombed 3 countries. That what the video means
Shaq, in the beginning of the video when CG was "dancing" he was mimicking the images of jim crow minstrels. Google the images and you should see what I mean.
Gambino: (Shoots someone in the head.) Shaq: "Bruh, you're just goin' to kill him without no shoes, bruh? [Shaq missed a lot of references and symbolism on this one. He would have loved the song more, if he got their meanings. It was still one of his funniest reactions.]
If you’re saying what then y’all must’ve never seen those tiny TH-camrs that leave comments saying that they’ll gift 🎁 everyone who subs to them, with the emojis and weird font and stuff.
After Gambino shoots the choir and Shaq somewhat process the scene, he asks, "What they do to you?!" I can't imagine how many times a similar question must have been asked by relatives and loved ones who lost someone to such mindless cruelty.

@@neeyarahgainer1812for one the dance moves and face he's making is a play on old racist cartoons.. but there is a lot of other meanings in the video too
@@neeyarahgainer1812 The pose at the beginning when he shoots the first man is patterned after Jim Crow era artwork. His pants are like confederate soldier pants. The gunning of the choir was to emulate the Dylan Roof murders. All guns were treated more carefully and immediately hidden from sight after shooting. Man on a pale horse means death. "This is a celly. That's a tool" means both prison cells used as a tool but also cellphones are a tool specifically cellphone footage is used as a tool. And many many more.
The dance is also based of actual african tribal dances.
@@nohaxgaming6283 no “African tribal dance”, that’s like saying that’s a North American dance or Asian dance.
The dance was meant to throw u off on purpose, the dancing is a metaphor meaning, some just want to party and have fun not caring about what's going on in the world
nah you're just over analyzing
@@king69104 how, that's what I was told after the day the video came out
Zach Baptiste Nah y’all both are right, there is not only one meaning of the things of this song. Gambino even said that this song means what you want it to mean. It’s art
@@johnathonh.b141 Ohhh ok, that I didn't get
Swaffy - topic thats a stretch
His dancing is a representation of how people are distracted by shitty entertainment (Ie the crappy/flashy dance moves) while all this chaos goes on in the background
American Youth is distracted by “culture” and the media. Leftist Media in California and New York influences people because that’s “Paradise”. Right media in the South forces people to be “normal” but they can’t change people from Democrat ton Republican.
Kyle Johnson thank you for knowing this
Shaqs face while the guy was shot got me like 🤣
no its a representation of minstrel shows hope i spelled that alright
@@ghostfaceatemyass 100% and used with purpose
I'm so fitted
I'm on Gucci
I'm so pretty
imma get it
watch me move
this is selling
that's a tool!
Being fitted, pretty, dancing is selling, means people like it and pay to see.
That's a tool means, now that people are paying attention to you, you can use your platform to influence your audience and bring something important to their attention!
Which is LITERALLY what he did with this and video!
I've always known he was clever but this is just absolutely BRILLIANT!
He said this is a celly that’s a tool to reference prison cells and saying that a cell phone hides tragedy’s
He also means that people dancing looking fancy is what everyone sees and hides what’s happening in the background the point is he’s distracting the viewer from the real stuff in the background
He was also acting like a government he was attracting us to himself just the the back ground
Shaq: what in the serial killer is this Also shaq: did he get em all
Lol
😂😂😂😂 2023 and i still watch this
I just realized that the guy that was playing the guitar 3:27 got killed by the pistol in the start was revived 7:48 and kept playing music... Reminds me of music artists that die suddenly and tragically that are revived via their music due to the industry collecting what they think is due to them, the investments they made are not to go in vain.
Rezwan D WØrst stretch
@@flatbreadsub Not really considering this whole music video is about real shit happening, the choir that got shot w/ the ak was a reference to a black church getting shot up and almost everyone in there killed, this whole music video is real life in America summed up..
TRippey T I know? Why are u telling me this lol
Rezwan D WØrst naaaaahhhh
Yes sir
I'm surprised you hadn't already reacted to this when it first came out
Master's Legacy he probably seen it like 30 times

“Y’all better stop dancing cuz he finna kill someone again...” 😂
It was one of the funniest and serious things that happened years ago
Cryptor AG wait... it’s been years already
Its_mejoseluis10 yeah it dropped earylish 2018 so that’s 2 years ago
dancing= Jim crow
choir: Church shooting
Every crazy person moving around in background: america and all the bad things going on
the song and dance supposed to keep you focused on the song and blind the the bad shit going on
exactly
Interesting. Is that your observation or you've heard that. I totally see the video from a different perspective now. Dancing /Jim Crow?!?!!
Thanks for your insight
Yes . Thank you .
Ali Bilgrami The dancing is the Gwara Gwara dance and the stance with the gun is Jim Crow. Not a jim crow dance 😂 The choir symbolises the Charlottesville shooting and the dance is to keep your focus on him and not the bad shit actually happening in the world. (The background)
The same America that allows him to live in the lap of luxury and be a multi-millionaire with millions of white fans. He's an anti-American racist piece of shit.
Hey shaq,
The reason he’s dancing so crazy is linked to how distracted we are by pop culture. If you look closely at the moves it relates to a lot of 20’s dance moves. That’s why the chaos going on in the background is discredited- because we are distracted by pop culture. There’s a lot of references in the background relating to the mistreatment of Black culture, male suicide, mass murder and the white horse is a symbol as well. Such a perfectly executed video. Took me 3 rewatches to see everything.
@David Stephens those were fortshit dances the fuck you talking about.... american kids now days
@@openworld6337 u do realise fortnite didnt create their dances but just took them from pop culture right?
@@Chaase you realize no one gave a shit about fortnite until lame as celebrities started giving it clout... especially drake.... i remember the day fortnite was added no one cared until it became pop culture "cool".... carlton's dance? Lol backpack kid dance who he stole from some other random guy ...... yea no shit dumb ass....

LMFAO
@donnerk180 a lot of people 🤡
@@kimson305omg so shocking
One of the moves is called "gwara gwara" whoch originated in South Africa
He danced like that to show the similarity btwn RSA and USA,
Look up Apartheid
And you know what happened in the US
That’s crazy I know he said imitated jim crow and stuff and my family is from South Africa and I didn’t even know that!
@Mitch Gill racism is hardly a thing in modern day United states. Stop trying to play the victim
5.56 X 45mm the only people saying that are people that aren’t experiencing it, as in yourself. Racism is indeed a thing
@@swertyr6 as a black male I can say. I dont experience racism. I have no fucking clue where you live but I feel bad for you
@Mitch Gill sure bruv, Apartheid was a system the Southern African goverment enforced in 1948 until early 1990s, it was set to segregate white ppl from black people and white ppl where considered a superior race, and more
The US was fighting for civil rights...
The comparison is a bit clear
If I'm wrong pls correct me
No life shaq, watch it a couple more times. He’s dancing means the distraction of things that are going on. Look in the background when they dance. My dude is a genius.

Wow genius, how did he think of that
Putting something in front to distract from the back wtf???

His dancing and facial expressions are supposed to represent Jim Crow's dance moves.
Jim crow's dance moves? Do you even know what Jim crow was? Smh...
Zachary Eikanger it was to imitate jim crows stance when pointing the gun and his dance moves were to represent sum else
ItsFedoraHere His stance was the Jim Crow stance and the dance was the Gwara Gwara dance, which he does to throw you off of the background of the video, symbolising that viral dances and stupid shit are always in the news to hide serious stuff that happens.
Who's jim crow??
abdou begag such a donut
This was a master piece!!!! From the song, to the dances, to the video. Absolute brilliance!!!
This is an impactful song, but it's interesting how this showed somebody getting their brains blown out and was allowed to trend to half a Billion but Darkness by Eminem played some scary audio and showed someone *about* to get shot, and that had to get 44 million with no help from algorithm.
Exactlyyyy. I feel like Eminem’s songs never get help from the algorithm because of stupid reasons.
I heard his music was taken down off from TH-cam trending. Is it true
Work Hard While You Wish For It fuckin facts tho
TH-cam controls the narrative. Its a message YT wants to promote, what they want people to focus on, they keep on trending. Good thing or a bad thing for a corporation to pick and choose the content that gets promoted? Thats up to you to decide.
S H N O T C H E E S E yes it is.
Surprised you didn’t get this... concentrated on dance moves like the first time I watched this.
This is an excellent portrayal of what’s happening and happened.
6:18 he did get the point of the video, and thats a big thing since its his frst time ever watching it, whoever knew about the jim crow and other small details the first time they saw the music vid must be a fuckin genius or some pro black history college teacher. My point is, he didnt watch the videos about the song or did his research like you.
6:18
This is so dumb lol
“Y’all better run as soon as he get to dancing he starts killing”😂
This song is a cultural masterpiece. The dancing has a lot of traditional african cultural links and was used as a technique to distract you from the untold violence happening in the video. The same way news channels use silly things to distract from the real underlying systematic racial injustice happening all over the world. This piece of art becomes more and more relevant every day
Ay Shaq, just like how you did Mumble Mondays and Talent Tuesdays, you should start a series called Foreign Fridays where every Friday you react to music from around the globe. You need to help promote more artists from around the world.
You the greatest Keep it 💯 Coach 💯💯💯
Higher brothers 😎
Yeah mannnn
Everyone: OMG HE JUST SHOT HIM!
SHaq: how you gone shoot someone without your shoes?
Shaq: i gotta check out the comments after the vids
Everyone else: i gotta check out the comments during the vids

There are soooo many double meanings in this video and I’m here for it!! This is real music, with a very powerful message!
Shaq : “ There’s too much going on” Me : Thats the point -_-
pheonix dub exactly that made me upset I was hoping for a video of him understanding the video but it was mostly him joking on it, I’m not mad I think this song/video wasn’t meant for this channel because he jokes it which isn’t the point and ruins the video and song
FlatBreadSub I bet you’re fun at parties
@@flatbreadsub nice
some of the poses at the beginning were intended to mimic the "jim crow" images from the time... there are a whole lot of double meanings in the imagery in this one coach!
I wish you would do a reaction to a breakdown of what everything means because every little thing simbolizes something
Then he should make a movie because his music is horrible. 3-4 words,without any vocal requirements. Just pure garbage.
@@aljosaraketic8258 then you ain't paying attention.

Its more like the dancing is the distraction to what's really going on outside the dancing
Gambino has weird dance moves but he got hits lol. Did ya like his latest album?
Hey guys I make funny skits if anyone wants to check them out. Appreciate it
No
Air out the old church..? 😲
His last really good album was because the internet
after that is just pretty good and okay
Axsthethic - yeah it’s 3.15.20. It just wasn’t for me idk
This song is ass tho
There’s no fun to be made about this piece of art
There’s deep meaning behind everything in this video
And sadly it predicted the world that we are currently living in today

7:25 that’s 17 seconds of silences each second represents the number of victims in the Florida school shooting
also, at 7:15 that white horse with the rider in all-black represents death, one of the four horsemen, but also the white sherrifs who bring death upon black citizens

@@KSAMA700 Do you mean though?
Samuel Michaud yeah
I can tell because he tries not to miss the shocking parts of the video to "react" to it. I agree
But that video doesn't even have 7 billion views and there is a high chance of him not listening to it
You can visually see the meaning going over shaqs head on this one 😂
That’s the point their dancing distracts from what’s actually going on in the video just like how it is in America and how people just distract themselves from what’s actually going on in America it’s actually very accurate to what’s going on in the America today and the stance that he had in the beginning of the video when he killed the guy in the chair relates to Jim Crow
Damn bro
122 Scorpio right
@@kiaririley9253 I don't live in America but I thought lyf was good...damn man
122 Scorpio I don’t think that it’s just limited to America though it’s sorta how everyone distracts themselves from what’s going on around them no matter where they live. Also you should search up CHAZ nation it’ll blow your mind
Shaq, there a lot of other people who were inspired by this song and made their own music like this, instead of “America” they added their own country
Listen to American pharaoh by jase Harley.
See where this was stolen from
Glover was literally playing 4d chess with this song.
And beat Sheldon!
Listen to American pharaoh by jase Harley and then tell me how creative this song is
Shaq, you HAVE to react to Gambino’s freestyle on Sway. It is probably one of the best freestyles on sway imo
When killing people:
Always remember to put your shoes on.
3:35
This is America
Shaq : dats tuff
Hard to watch this reaction. I like most your reactions. This was a cultural masterpiece. Its not about no funny dancing. Gambino shared a beautiful message. The dancing represents how they make fun of black people as we are only looked at as entertainment and not taken seriously
Klean Kut Fitness, THANK YOU!! Beautifully said. 🙏🙏🙏 I must have watched Gambino’s video 100 times, at least. It absolutely blew me away. Cultural masterpiece is right.
He literally said it was a powerful message
Gene Jost ok
@@lilllwizzzle He said it but he didn't acknowledge it. It's easier to crack jokes about dude being shoeless and crazy dancing than it is to acknowledge and break down all the madness that's going on the background. Shaq is my man and all but this one was kind of disappointing. If he did realize that there was a powerful message involved he should have spoke on it instead of cracking jokes.
@@DirtSailor5 not everyone needs to speak on everything constantly. Jesus fucking christ everyone knows the world isn't perfect. Doesn't always have to be some high strung bullshit.
The dancing was to throw viewers off to entertain you when there's a lot of things going on with the world with the chaos, violence and outrage which is what's going on in the world today.
Hey wassup guys I am a young aspiring artist from Africa I did a remix to *This is America* Ours was pretty simple and cheap but the message is still clear and straight forward.
