Donald Glover, better known as Childish Gambino was the host and performer on Saturday Night Live, introducing two new singles “Saturday,” and “This is America.”Prior to the new releases on SNL, a music video of “This is America,” was also posted.

The music video is a combination of satire, contemporary dramatization, all in visual in a warehouse shared by depiction of cultural aspect on Black America.

For instance, the motifs in the video portrayed, black culture aspect like gun violence, riots, protest, several popular dance moves and gospel.This video is a juxtaposition of multiple scenarios into one molded by a shirtless Glover, motioning around in a long take sequences with a SZA cameo.

“This is America,” is aesthetic rhythm bop, incorporating the mixture of chants with melodic acoustic to a transition of deep bass dignifying to the lyrical flow of Gambino.

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).
