'THIS IS AMERICA' - Is it the greatest music video ever?

Donald Glover just released a very controversial music video a few days, which obviously made everyone lose their minds, and kinda go "Yes, that is America." There is really a lot going on in the video, and it just shows how big of an artist Gambino really is...


Probably all the YouTube reactors reacted to this video already. And those who were thinking about started doing a YouTube reaction channel... started reacting to videos after this particular video was released.



The main two scenes in the video are, obviously, the most striking ones - the two murders. The video starts with Glover just dancing, shaking his body in a really funny way, shirtless with pants on... Everyone who watches it is just smiling all the way through. Suddenly, he just grabs a gun and kills the guitar man, without any particular reason. After that controversial scene, he kinda continues dancing, more dancers come into the scene and everyone is kinda starting to get what he is trying to say. For those who still don't have an idea of what's going on, I think they they won't have any doubts after the second shooting scene, which represents the Carolina church shooting.




For those who still don't get it, here is a quote from a YouTube reactor Yousef : "We're trying to sell you on happiness when there's misery going on all around you".




However, there are some things that aren't that obvious, but still have a hidden meaning.



For example, this white horse in the scene holds a much bigger meaning, and I'm pretty sure everyone kept looking at Gambino dancing in this shot. It represents Death (person dressed in black, without a face) riding the white horse followed by Hell (police), going totally unnoticed because of pop culture and having fun in the foreground.



There are even more examples, like this scene for instance. Some say that Gambino handing a gun to a person who then grabs and holds it very carefully represents how guns are well treated in today's society.

Here's why you should at least TRY having an online business

I won't start talking about how good it is to work from home, just because it isn't ideal for everyone, and there is no point in making someone believe it. However, what I wanna focus on is the fact that there are no rules when it comes to online success, and that can be a good thing. Yesterday, I was listening to some Pink Floyd, it was the most viewed video of Comfortably Numb. Funny enough, it was uploaded by a random fan, and it has 28 million views. It was his only video, and he stated that he didn't want anyone to subscribe just because he wasn't going to upload any more songs or anything on the channel. But of course, with 28 million views... that is impossible to avoid, and right at this second, his channel is sitting on 88 000 subscribers. And I thought to myself: "Damn, that is crazy! He could be making a living from these kind of numbers if he continued making non-copyrighted videos." All I'm trying to say is - some blogs or businesse...

Is ROCK Dead?

Queensyrsche's guitar player said "Rock's pretty much dead" in an interview with Ultimate Guitar a few years ago. The comment secton was filled with hate, probably because everyone who plays guitar doesn't wanna believe it, or maybe they are not visionaries like Steve Jobs, or they just don't really listen to the radio or go out on weekends. I mean, seriously, just turn on the radio. What will you hear? Fall Out Boy (who don't even have guitar sound at this point). Royal Blood. New Metallic a. Greeta Van Fleet (a Led Zeppelin cover band in terms of their sound...) I mean, don't get me wrong. I love almost all of these, and Metallica is still kicking ass. Foo Fighters are still kicking ass (and that new music video shows it!) real time. But they belong to the old school of rock, and have probably continued making music in order to pay their bills. New modern metal bands are still there, and surprisingly coming really quick to the scene (Fear...
