Naramore - Childish Gambino
An artist that I found represents the energy, innovation, craft, and concerns of our generation is Childish Gambino. He was born with the name Donald Glover and grew up in California. A song that was innovated was titled "This Is America." which came out this year! It was debuted at number one in the Hot 100, which I thought was pretty cool. The music video for this song is creative; it catches your attention as Gambino can be seen dancing as there is violence or a riot behind him. This is not the only song by Childish Gambino to strike attention - "Redbone" peaked at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100. Later, he was awarded a Grammy for the Best Traditional R&B Performance. I believe he catches people's attention because "This Is America" portrays the violence that the world has going on right now.

Simply one of the most important artistic statements/videos I can recall in my lifetime!
ReplyDeleteI was debating whether to choose Gambino with This is America or Reggie Watts. I find this song very awe inspiring because of it's political significance as well as the statement it makes ! well chosen.
