The weekend before my younger sister died, she told me that Redbone was her favorite song. I played it for her while she was lying in her hospital bed. I hope she heard it.
I used to hear Redbone on the radio I thought it was a classic. But my friend told me it was a Donald Glover song and I could hardly believe it. Redbone really is an abnormality, it's bizarre to see a song of that type reach the charts in this decade, but it's also incredible. Godspeed to Donald Glover for making such a cool song.
@Carl Nielsen-They do look really similar, but one time, I saw Donald Glover on Jimmy Kimmel. Childish Gambino was the musical performer, so they definitely are 2 different people...
Ludwig Goransson is one of the most incredible producers/musicians working today. I hope he becomes even more of a household name goes down in history as one of the GOATs.
DEFINITELY. my friend said bonfire did, but i dont think that song or even heartbeat did. When 3005 came out it was almost impossible to not hear it. THATS what broke him into the mainstream
You forgot to mention that Donald Glover basically dedicated "Awaken, My Love!" to his newborn son. He wanted to someday show his kid the music he grew up listening to, that's why he pulled direct influences from those reference you mentioned. The tracks' lyrical themes also reflect it.
MY PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH KOOL-AID Edit: I can’t believe my most liked comment of all time is literally just the lyrics to the song typed with Caps Lock on.
I think I read somebody interpret that line saying that although both peanut butter chocolate cake and kool aid are sweet and desirable, they dont particularly go well together.
@@justjoshua0121 Well, he could very well do what a lot of other artists have done in this situation and depending on the success of the next album, he jus won't release anymore as Gambino. So he'll either come up with a new persona, or straight up release them as Donald Glover. Because if his final release as Gambino does well, him and his producers aren't dumb, they aren't going to leave all of that money just sitting on the table that they could all make from him releasing new albums. So I'd say it's pretty likely well see that, and pretty likely it'll come along side a style change, unless it really is all about the money, in which case he'll probably just stick to what's worked so far; generating controversy.
@@augustgreig9420 he doesn't generate controversy. He just creates from an honest place. He hasn't followed the money at any point in his career. He left 30 Rock, Community, and released an album with zero rap on it. He has a history of leaving things behind when they've hit their peak to avoid it becoming corny or stale. His next album doing well would be the incentive to end his music career on a high note.
YES! In the polypohonic subreddit I asked for a video incorporating Parliament-Funkadelic and Sly and the family Stone's influence on hip hop. They are my two favorite bands but there is so few videos on them on youtube that aren't just low quality interviews of the band members. Glad they get the respect they deserve for birthing a whole new sound in Funk and Hip Hop!
I never got why people thought Redbone was pitchshifted. It doesn't sound pitchshifted at all. To me, at least, it was pretty obvious Glover just sang in a high voice.
you either know a little bit about sound engineering or you just have a good ear. if you know what vocal pitching sounds like it’s easy to spot but this song does use a stereo/doubling effect on his vocals-so maybe that’s where people got the idea?
Check out his song centipede, or his cover of "what kinda love" He's always been able to sing, but this is a bit more experimental with his voice. I've know a lot of people who either thing it's pitched, or even don't think or recognize that's him singing.
The title of the song itself is slang for a lightskinned black woman usually used in urban areas in the 70s-2000s really. So that adds a layer to the lyrics
I love Parliment and Bootsy. I remember losing my shit when i first heard Redbone when Awaken My Love came out because of the similarity with I'd Rather Be With You. So glad you did this video and gave a shout out to both Bootsy and Parliment.
Man, I don't listen to the radio or hip hop, and I had no idea that stand-up comedian Donald Glover had a hip hop persona called Childish Gambino, but I'll never forget being in this dudes car that I was doing a job for and hearing this come on the radio. I was like, "What the Hell, this station was just playing rap a second ago, and now they're playing some awesome song from the 70's... How have I never heard this before?" I'm a huge music lover, and listen to all genres, from classical, to soul to metal, so I didn't understand how I'd missed this awesome song. When he got back in the car from pumping gas, he was surprised to see me bopping my head to this. "You like that?" He said with a smirk. "Yeah man, this is awesome. Who is it?" "That's Childish Gambino, Redbone. You've never heard that before?" "Nah man, don't know how I missed it..." >Mfw I went home and Googled Childish Gambino and found out it was that nerdy comic I liked. >Mfw I can't post my face in the TH-cam comments section. >Mfw I have no face
I love how much music you cover, it’s not rock every time, these videos really help me broaden my horizons involving multiple genres of music. Love your work!
I've just heard the music and read up on the life of Jackson C. Frank. Guy had a hard life, made some beautiful music and he really deserves to be talked about more, it'd be great to see a video about him!
Great video, I’d love one on D’Angelo and the Soulquarians. Maybe even showing the decline and reemergence of D’Angelos career. Or just the album Black Messiah.
i genuinely thought he had Macy Gray do a guest spot on this song on my first listen...I got to the end and was like "He never sang on the song" and googled it and was shocked. SHOCKED I SAY
The thing is Gambino wasn't taken seriously at that time. A lot of rap fans thought he was trash and it wasn't until after that his projects started to really growing on the general public
Before awaken my love i remember everyone hating on him cause he wasn't real or "black". After the album out of nowhere he was seen as pro black and all that
You know what will be great/interesting to see - a Spotify(or whatever music streaming provider you use) of all the songs you used in a particular video/encounter in research/related further suggested listening (obviously if you find time because making videos are time consuming enough but I’ll be all over this if ya did it) It will be great to get more music suggestions and find out more about your thought processes into videos
I always assumed it was because it had the most lyrics out of any song on Awaken My Love, and when Awaken My Love came out people were complaining that it “wasn’t lyrical enough” and they wanted another hip-hop album
Once in a while an album comes out that Changes Everything. When Awaken, My Love came out I had the same feeling as when D'Angelo's Voodoo came out or Outkast's The Love Below. Just something that completely innovates the genre by tying the past and future together in an album that feels like a moment of absolute clarity.
Another solid video. I watch an hour or two of TH-cam every day and you're one of my top channels. I love learning the background to so many stellar pieces and I'm always sending them to my friends. Keep up the good work!
I want nothing more than to meet you so that I can shake your hand and thank you for making this youtube series as it is so informative and inspiring and I wish that I could support you with a full budget so you can mass-produce this channel's videos. The animation is entertaining and eye-catching while the text is informative and inspiring thank you so much for making these videos. :) keep up the great work!
I always just thought he sampled an old 70s funk beat but then upon researching the song, it was pretty much an original beat and I was shocked. Definitely puts you in a different era.
you do an amazing work. with such beautiful editing skills and interesting, well-researched content, every video fells like the work of a 5 people crew. i hope you hit 1million subs soon! :)
When this came out, I heard it on the radio. If you had asked me to guess 1 million times in a row who performed it I would have never ever guessed it was Troy. I don't normally like rap and hip hop style music but I LOVE this damn song.
Great Video, as always! Luv the way you nailed the funky influences for the song. Another one i noticed was in his vocals. His falsetto sounds an awful lot like Prince (circa 1982)
There are very few people around today that I admire as much as I do Glover. I'm a life-long Pink Floyd fan but mark my words: if there is ever a new Dark Side Of The Moon bound to come out in this century, he will be the one to make it. Huge shoutout to Ludwig Göransson for his fruitful collaboration with him.
@@graham.broome While TPAP is a wonderful album (as is good kid maad city), it is not of the artistic timelessness I'm referring to when I mention TDSOTM. "Awaken, my love!" comes close but isn't it yet.
"Have some love" is one of my fav Childish Gambino song. Like "i'd rather be with you" I realized the breakdown in "Have some love" sounds heavily like the pinball intro from Sesame street. Made me like the song even more. :)
Played it my junior year when it first was released. All my friends clowned me when they first heard it and then a year later they are all singing it after it hits the radio.
Aw dude I love your so much for this? Literally the other day I realized how much I loved Awaken and and almost wrote a whole essay in my notes, you said the stuff I wanted to say even better!!
I can't listen to this song without thinking of Atlanta's "Juneteenth" and "Teddy Perkins". This album came out between those two episodes and I feel a lot of Glover's themes are also exemplified in the show.
I was just listening to Riot as I was coming home from school, talking to my Father about Childish Gambino. Then I came home and saw the notification. Best surprise ever.
Your videos are like heroin. I can't get enough from it. Please do a video about Tranquility Base Hotel+Casino by Arctic Monkeys. I think this album is soooo interesting. A lot of stuff is happening there. Lyrically and also instrumentally.
I haven't seen your whole video library but I'd love to hear about the funk and jazz funk movement. One of my favorite songs is Birdland by Weather report

Thanks for this. I knew I heard a lot of Bootsy influences. I couldn't place what I was hearing. It reminds of something I grew up listening to, but had forgotten.
Redbone was one of those songs that felt like you've heard it for a while even though it was new
Perfect description
Yeah, bcs B🤩🤩TSY
I was just thinking that and then saw this comment
I'm still convinced it sounds somehow like Summer Breeze
@@ItsJoeHut Bruh its bootsy collins
The weekend before my younger sister died, she told me that Redbone was her favorite song. I played it for her while she was lying in her hospital bed. I hope she heard it.
fuck man, I’m so sorry.
Retro Girl Rip 🙏My condolences
Did not expect to cry 😭
F
Nigga thats Sad
I used to hear Redbone on the radio I thought it was a classic.
But my friend told me it was a Donald Glover song and I could hardly believe it.
Redbone really is an abnormality, it's bizarre to see a song of that type reach the charts in this decade, but it's also incredible.
Godspeed to Donald Glover for making such a cool song.
if they make a childish gambino biopic, i think donald glover should be cast they look alike
That would be a perfect casting choice
Idk mahn. Never seen those two in the same room at the same time
naw, Donald Glover does comedy, I don't think he could pull off childish gambino
But they're the same person, aren't they
Henry JDW no they’re different people
I just fart it on the plugg 😅🤣
Carl Nielsen I also heard that about The Rock and Dwayne Johnson, but it's too farfetched to believe
Neal Kelly yeah, look a likes are quite the thing
No way man. Danny Glover is a lot older than Gambino.
@Carl Nielsen-They do look really similar, but one time, I saw Donald Glover on Jimmy Kimmel. Childish Gambino was the musical performer, so they definitely are 2 different people...
Stop spreading your tinfoil hat theories. It's dangerous.
COME AND GET YOUR LOVE.... Oh wait, wrong Redbone.
Yup, me too. Great band.
Haha.. I was looking for this!
@@randomcitizen3939 I'm a little surprised there was no mention of the band at all.
Hey I like that song too lol
Good one! But I hear he has a Cherokee great great grandmama
Ludwig Goransson is one of the most incredible producers/musicians working today. I hope he becomes even more of a household name goes down in history as one of the GOATs.
The dedication he put in the instrumental soundtrack of Black Panther was incredible.
Most likely there wouldn't be a childish Gambino without Ludwig Goransson, that we know of...
Already the little themes he created for Community were awesome
He won a oscar
@@medealkemy also tenet
So glad you mentioned Bootsy. First time I heard "Redbone" all I could hear was "I'd Rather Be With You". Not enough people know about it
Maybe not enough young people, but its one of the most famous songs of its era. It's not no obscure song by no means.
Well.. yeh
I'm 20 and didn't know that song
I thought it sounded similar to an old song i knew but i just passed it off as deja vu
Stretching out is a supremely underrated album,
I’m happy to be one of those people 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
P-Funk honestly needs its own video
Maggot Brain is a musical milestone.
Most definitely. They are so great and iconic
Yesss
I still can’t believe the same goofy dude who used to play Troy from Community is now childish gambino
Adam Hossienzadeh six seasons and a movie
¿Dónde está la biblioteca?
Me llamo T-Bone, la araña discoteca
Just like filthy frank become Joji
I'd say Gambino made his way into mainstream music with 3005, not Redbone
heartbeat
Redbone’s still a bop tho.
hold up
DEFINITELY. my friend said bonfire did, but i dont think that song or even heartbeat did. When 3005 came out it was almost impossible to not hear it. THATS what broke him into the mainstream
I know Childish Gambino in a song Sweatpants

Ya me too!
That's why I came here too, great band!
My man better bring up Bootsy's I'd rather be with you
Edit: Thank goodness he does.
EDog i was gonna say the same thing
"There was no vocal pitching on the album."
Oh so that's why he's retiring, his voice must be shot at 35.
is he really retiring???
@@LordFrega He's dropping one more album than retiring the Childish Gambino persona and focusing more on screenwriting and acting.

Acting like childish Gambino hasn’t been a very relevant rapper since 2013 and even before
Literally, like 3005 didn't skyrocket himself into the mainstream? Redbone was 100% a second wind, and it wasn't even his last one.
The thing is Gambino wasn't taken seriously at that time. A lot of rap fans thought he was trash and it wasn't until after that his projects started to really growing on the general public
Right?

It will be great to get more music suggestions and find out more about your thought processes into videos
I love Polyphonic videos. The aesthetic, the amazing visuals and info. So so interesting
Another great deep dive into a great song. Thank you!
And seeing some references to the P-Funk made me extra happy :)
I used the opening to Redbone as my alarm tone for two years. now I can't hear it without perking up a bit
I always assumed it was because it had the most lyrics out of any song on Awaken My Love, and when Awaken My Love came out people were complaining that it “wasn’t lyrical enough” and they wanted another hip-hop album

Always enjoy this channel. The vintage instruments explains a lot. His falsetto was so good. The sound was 70s, lyrics were not.
I think this song has such a unique sound that makes it able to remix and mashup with other songs better than anything else.
Please make a video on Gil Scott-Heron. Thank you.
YESSSSS!!!!
Love the videos. Just started college they are gonna help me through it lol. Keep it going!
This whole video for something really simple: New, refreshing, danceable, tension and a clear vocal line + hook.
Another solid video. I watch an hour or two of TH-cam every day and you're one of my top channels. I love learning the background to so many stellar pieces and I'm always sending them to my friends. Keep up the good work!
I watched Gambino performing Redbone live last year and it gave me serious goosebumps

Didn't think it was unexpected..
It's a good song. Plain and simple
sometimes being a good song isn't enough to get on the radio
I always just thought he sampled an old 70s funk beat but then upon researching the song, it was pretty much an original beat and I was shocked. Definitely puts you in a different era.

6:00 this line is even more frightening with recent events that happened
I would love to see a video about Weird Al Yankovic!
He doesn't get the credit he deserves as an actually really talented person
Your videos are underrated. Keep up the great work brotha!
Watching Gambino perform Redbone live at Bonnaroo last year was legit the most spiritual moment I've ever felt.
Hearing people talk about a song makes me really want to listen to it, despite how the song was originally collecting dust in my library.
When this came out, I heard it on the radio. If you had asked me to guess 1 million times in a row who performed it I would have never ever guessed it was Troy.
I don't normally like rap and hip hop style music but I LOVE this damn song.
Definitely one of my favorite songs. A masterpiece. Beautiful
Great Video, as always! Luv the way you nailed the funky influences for the song. Another one i noticed was in his vocals. His falsetto sounds an awful lot like Prince (circa 1982)
I think, besides all the essay, the major reason for such a success is because the song sounds amazingly good.

"Have some love" is one of my fav Childish Gambino song. Like "i'd rather be with you" I realized the breakdown in "Have some love" sounds heavily like the pinball intro from Sesame street. Made me like the song even more. :)
yeah man Redbone was the smash of that year for me, yet in my country nobody heard of it and it had almost no radioplay over here.
You should definitely do a video about The Kinks
This song is timeless - no other way to put it.

He's also a hilarious stand-up comedian. His Netflix special 'Donald Glover: Weirdo' had me laughing the whole time.
The album artwork was definitely inspired by the Maggot Brain album cover.

Your videos are so amazing. I am so fascinated by the subjects you explore. Thank you.
I don’t listen to new music, but this is the best polyphonic video to date
That bit of kit at 4:06 doesn’t look like a pedal. Did they mean to show the Maestro BG-2 “wah-wah” pedal?
Just another amazing class!!!! Thank you!

Man, I don't listen to the radio or hip hop, and I had no idea that stand-up comedian Donald Glover had a hip hop persona called Childish Gambino, but I'll never forget being in this dudes car that I was doing a job for and hearing this come on the radio. I was like, "What the Hell, this station was just playing rap a second ago, and now they're playing some awesome song from the 70's... How have I never heard this before?" I'm a huge music lover, and listen to all genres, from classical, to soul to metal, so I didn't understand how I'd missed this awesome song.
When he got back in the car from pumping gas, he was surprised to see me bopping my head to this. "You like that?" He said with a smirk.
"Yeah man, this is awesome. Who is it?"
"That's Childish Gambino, Redbone. You've never heard that before?"
"Nah man, don't know how I missed it..."
>Mfw I went home and Googled Childish Gambino and found out it was that nerdy comic I liked.
>Mfw I can't post my face in the TH-cam comments section.
>Mfw I have no face
Thanks for this. I knew I heard a lot of Bootsy influences. I couldn't place what I was hearing. It reminds of something I grew up listening to, but had forgotten.
