No fucking joke, I was at Bonnaroo 2010 when he debuted this song. He said "this is the biggest crowd I've ever performed in front of AND IT'S FUCKING DOPE" while on top of the big ass speaker. He said "Here's something new nobody has heard" and played this shit. Place went fucking nuts. Will never forget it - was like 15 feet from the stage. Dude is legit.
It is so meaningful to me when Donald says "there's a million ways to shine, choose one". He's a rapper, director, actor, comedian and musician. He literally does that, just picks a way to shine and goes to town. I'll always come back to this song.
its even more important because he says "I'm donald coming soon" and soon after this he made a name for himself as an actor/producer or as Donald instead of gambino.
That break down that starts at like 2:20 is very nostalgic for me. I remember being in high school listening to this walking home from school. Reminds me of being out of school and having the rest of the day for yourself.
@@denzelclauded.pagaduan9560 gargamel is the sworn enemy of the smurfs. Smurfs = Blue. In the story i think all he does is chase the smurfs to catch them.
Its 9/5/2024 I'm seeing him for his farewell concert tonight in Florida. As a young teenager I came to this specific video throughout my entire life and I'm grateful to see the man himself lets fucking go 💪💪💪💪
I remember listening to this song everyday on my way to 9th grade summer school.. being 25 now this song trips me out, I hope everyone who reads this is doing well, just don’t ever give up it all gets better eventually ❤
Beautiful to look through the comments and see all who have jumped on the Gambino Bandwagon in the past year. Dope to see his fanbase growing like that.
3:31 - 3:58 The end really hits for me and takes me back to the summer of 2012 after graduating high school and beginning my first semester of college. I would lay in my room at night in solitude for the last time deep in thought as I drift to sleep felt like a goodbye to not only my friends, but my life as I knew it at the time while moving to a different city for college. A lifelong buddy of mine was going to a Childish Gambino concert the next day, so I unfortunately had to miss out, but what a time it would have been if I went to that concert.
Had a friend who helped me overcome social anxiety. It became a secret language for us to recite bino lyrics randomly. This song always brings me back man. RIP!
The Bino you all miss is the hunger I think. He hit it big, started chasing grammy's and awards instead of recognition. He got to the point where he realized he was big time, but found out it didn't make him happy. This Bino still had hope, that the recogniton and fame would give him some kinda closure, some kinda peace.
I won't stop being so talented, my name is Troy so I couldn't resist( I know it's a community reference. But I am somewhat talented. But vino is clearly better Suited For This. I use my talents to satisfy my woman.
Every time i listen to a new gambino song for the first time it becomes my favorite. this man is so talented its ridiculous. He is the best writer in the game by far. Everything he talks about is real and from the heart.
On the contrary, I like it very much. But watch him go bac to rapping when you least expect it. I feel like, as that record was about him becoming a father, he seemed to think that rap wouldn't do his vision justice or something.
As much as I love the original, I love this one just as much. The original gives you the feeling of being a hero, rising to the biggest occasion of your life. This version feels like a look back in retrospect of everything you’ve went through up until now.
+Joey The King dude it's so awesome that we have a nerd rapper that reeds comics and watches cartoons and shit, I can so relate, personally I love rap, but Gambino made me wanna be a rapper cause he taught me that it's okay to like nerdy things but still be an artist.
Haven’t heard this since I lived in sw fla about 7 heard it about 9 years ago, childish and a diff song showed up instantly remembered this, love it, thanks for the reminder, that talent still exists
I love his work in music and acting and I am systematically watching, liking and passing on all of his work. Anyone who wants to support Donald should spread the word!
+Nate Robinson Wayne was good look at Tha Carter 1,2, and 3 and No Ceilings so please check before throwing shade. Yes Gambino is good but he's not Kendrick or Eminem or Biggie or Tupac or Lil Wayne (Early 2000s) he's good but he's not legendary.
+Nate Robinson its so funny to see all the people who love chance and childish but hate wayne. U do know lil wayne is their hero right lmao. Wayne is a legend to say the least
I lovvvvve this song. The intro is fantastic, and his references are on point. whitest of white girls, but I feel so gangster everytime I listen to this.
hell yeah! I'm a white guy who doesn't listen to a whole lot of rap (I mostly listen to classic 60s and 70s rock), but I love pretty much every song he makes
donald we are still listening to this music u made way back in the day man, please make some new bangers we can listen to forever, dont make us wait untill ur deceased for a new realease, go back to ur roots bro, i hope u get a chance to see this, you only have so much time on earth, but this music right here, helps all our souls, please send more good vibes, cheers from the lower class.
this is from a terrible breakup dude, please bring back the memories, even tho it hurts you, it helps up x1000 man, this song has 41k likes, your pain helped out so many more people than you can imagine.

Gambino is too underrated!!!
Not for long he's been nominated for a grammy. He should be getting more attention soon. Not to mention his fx show "Atlanta" coming up.
and hes on community
lol
The only reasons people can hate on him is cus he used to be a comedian and he's white washed.
markus hubbard So? Those aren't excuses for hating on him.
Most underrated childish song imo
True
Who’s here for some nostalgia, it’s crazy how so many people who listen to this have the same nostalgic feelings of their adolescence. What a time.
I've been listening to Childish for years and somehow completely missed this gem.
gpoop23 same, I'm ashamed of myself
I'm also dissapointed in you....smh

Only Childish G. can drop a smurfs reference as smooth as that ;)
***** Haha yeah or anyone else
I don't get it?

BeastJeffrey Gargamel is the villain in the smurfs and he tries to catch them.
the second half of the song is incredible. definitely makes the song for me

literally happening rn and I cannot wait until its finally available to the public
Nor can I. I'm so pumped.
cant happen soon enough

L Weems who’s mike? You mean mic ?

And that's what makes him so sexy. 😂😍

dude is straight raw he's not another one of your hood or wanna be hood rappers he's intellegent
listening to this banger 10 years later

Undoubtedly one of my all time favorite songs!
He was unstoppable during this era. He could have been the biggest if he didn’t switch up
He was the biggest, dude has Grammys and headlined Coachella. Childish Gambino is done and he’s good with that
As a huge Yeezy fan I have to say Gambino did this tune justice. Keep giving us dope hits!
Listening after he won song of the year, proud that he got this far
"Im heading west like im blowing kanye" took me years too understand but its honestly one of my favourite line from bino lmaooo
“You’re her x-man like Cannonball” - still hits so hard in 2024!

This guy is ridiculously underrated
This is sick, how am I just hearing this for the first time?
That guitar, I could just listen to it on loop at a beach all day.
probably my favorite Childish Gambino song
so well produced
That Smurfs reference though. XD
I wouldn't have ever noticed his nose if they hadn't used that photo it looks fine in all the other photos of him I've seen.
***** haha so creative
Maybe its just the lighting or the angle that makes it look weird...
Umm..so something is "wrong" with his nose because he has an African nose? Fuck you, racist.
He said his nose was ugly in the song that's why i wrote that comment, it had nothing to do with race.
