The way he stands still for like the first half of the song gives me such an unsettling feeling for some reason
es intesionado, de esa manera generan contraste suspenso y incomodidad en el espectador.-
HE MEANS BUSINESS
He's standing like a slave on the auction block
The whole song is supposed to be unsettling, it's all intentional.
Michael Jackson used this trick to full effect too
That little girl dancing at the end is just about perfect.
Yes! 🙏
Hands down one of the most powerful SNL performances Ive ever seen.
Kendrick’s SNL performance has entered
THE most powerful being Prince.
This is the shit though
I LOVE MYSELF 🗣️🗣️🗣️@@iLuvUs22
I remember being blown away by this performance. The next morning, he dropped the video, and, well...the rest is hisory.
That's what I remember, seeing him doing it on SNL. The next day everyone was talking about a video and I'm thinking it's the SNL performance. Seen the video and was like this is on another level all together. I liked the SNL performance though, the lyrics and his performance were incredible. Hell he was incredible period the whole night.
I thought it dropped simultaneously the same night
Whaaat, this came before the video?
Actually it makes more sense, the descent into madness must be gradual.
I remember he preformed the song and thinking “that was cool” then 2 minutes later the video was released and 🤯
My first experience with this song was when I watched this exact performance back in 2018 as it aired on TV. Before I would then see the music video a few days later. Everyone was talking about it. My friends, people I knew online, and even my mom was talking about it.
In the cultural context I know this performance has no place ESPECIALLY next to the music video, but it's really interesting to return to it today. Gambino has so much talent, man.
He did the evolution of the way Blacks are seen in this country. His standing still at the beginning with his hands behind his back was a slave on the auction block. Then slowly, very slowly, his hands come down and now he must entertain the masses.
😢
Deep analysis ❤
Shoulda kept his paws behind his back 🤣
His outfit is even a metaphor
That’s how deep this song is
Confederate soldiers pants! He’s different!
CRIMINAL TO REMOVE THIS FROM SNL , what a performance
What happened
Well they had to eventually. They are only allowed to have music performances on their UA-cam channel for a limited amount of time due to licensing issues.
This remains one of the most powerful songs, and performances, ever made. I imagine if Prince was still alive, he would happily be in the back playing every instrument while Childish Gambino rapped.
Prince and Michael Jackson would be havin a good ol’ time making music and videos with Childish Gambino!!
The best ‘popular’ song released in the last ten years easily. You can feel the intelligence behind every aspect
Check out “American Pharaoh” by Jase Harley
Ok, you can feel the plagiarism @@BabeWest
Pop music really brings out the incorrect opinions huh
🙄
I like this better

3:11 God I love that raspy vibrato wail! 😄❤️
Donald Glover is just incredibly talented at everything he sets out to do! Thats a Legend! ❤
Shout out to this kid dancers too, they killed it!
That note was on point, wasn't it???
@@scoobstopb Right!? ❤️
James Brown
Love it!!! 🙌🏻
Man, the leg work is the best part of his last dance and even camera ppl at snl didn't realise previously..
Thanks for uploading this, was trying to find it. I remember when this dropped and watching the video over and over until the studio version came out. The lights starting at 2:46 were insane.
The lights were done by Adam LaBay, a real beast on this field.
And there is a video from Tom Scott ("Stopping A Laser Beam In Mid-Air") were they show how to make something similar (but at very smaller scale).
@@FelipeFTZ jk I
INSANE!!!
Dunno why, buy the little girl dancing at the end made me tear up a little bit.
same
Same
loss of innocence
yes!! like wth!?
This was a revolutionary moment in television.
Still watching it today. I'm a jaded middle-aged man and this dude is a creative genius!!!!
Have you see his latest?
I'm a 55 year old white dude, and I JUST found this. It's brilliant.
Can't ignore that, after the beat drops, the lighting cue is intentionally Cherries-n-Berries. As someone who has had a dissociative panic attack in the back of a squad car with those reds and blues clicking endlessly, it can't be missed.
Noticed that as well. My heart started beating faster immediately.
I remember watching this live the night it aired and knowing that I was witnessing something important. This performance and the video that followed are historic. No exaggeration.
i showed this performance to every single one of my friends even though i knew they dgaf 😭😭
Same fr
You need a few more friends then.
Holy shit! I just found out this existed. Best live SNL performance I've ever seen, and I'm 55 years old.
Love love love love those dancers! 😍
Props to Childish Gambino, the real stars of this performance are the kid dancers.
I was so confused when I couldn't find this anymore on YT and I'm so glad that it's back
I love when this man dance he be looking so free
That high note at 3:08 😫❤
This performance told such a Deep story. Awesome visuals and vocals, Dramatic!! Awesome.
Love this song and probably one of the best SNL musical performances I've seen in 20 years
The standing still while talking about parting and doing girl thing is a message. We cannot party yet.
Totally breathtaking. Such an important artist for many reasons.
Beautiful work of art
Nobody has ever reminded me of Prince before, until the end of this performance. Brilliant.
I wish he would come back to music. We need him. 🇺🇸
We do.
Tonight he’s dropping
@@Danielvogelbachstan seriously?
@@burningMalarkeythat was crazy. You should make some other wishes! Can you wish for a world where Trump never ran for president in 2016? I think that alone would be enough to correct a lot of our current problems… haha
This is brilliant! Incredible social commentary, production, and performance.
The live audience didn’t get to experience how crazy that second part was.
One of the greatest SNL performances ever
Glover is a literal genius 🐐
3 min 46 seconds of absolute artistic excellence.
Brilliant track.
The last minute of this performance and especially the very ending is just PURE ART.
Those Dancers are fire !
Our country's new national anthem
the stillness, focus and release in this performance is an immense inspiration to any artist
OK...this is hands down the best SNL performance ever!
you are the best I listen to you every day since the Ivory Coast
Talent showtime! 👏👏👏
Thanks for this
The little girl dancing by herself in the end brings me to tears. Iykyk
Love this …. Huge talent in all directions.
Rage Against the Machine was the last protest music with this much power, that was popular. Crazy that this is the dude from Community.
One of the most important songs from recent American history IMHO
The 21 adlibs🔥🔥
Fucking nailed it!! Well done, all! Incredible dancing, too 🤩
Uma musica e letra impecável e um clipe melhor ainda! 2024 e essa musica continua fazendo tanto sentido😢❤
If accuracy was a song
SOB that was an awesome performance! Loved the light work. Not just how it looked but how it ties into the music. Greatness!
This is Art
I get chills every time he wails
What a great all-around talent.
Utter brilliance on all levels
Beautiful pure art.
Amazing performance!
Those lights and projectors at the end, bruhhh
Still going to be awhile before we all catch up to this track……keep watching Childish Gambino for insight
ART !!!
i love how he shouts out OAXACA!!
Can anyone tell me what kind of lights these are or how they work? Any info would be great thanks!
www.precisionlasers.com/projects/childishgambino You can find out everything about them here
Pretty sure theyre lasers
Only works in-camera.
donald glover 🔥🔥
Why am I crying
Young Thug outro is genius 3:20
❤wow. Very cool performance. Where can I find those floor laser lights?
They all hit that sht fr
Music has no limit
Song has no limit
Dance has no limit
Creativity has no limit
2:52 to the end is my favorite 🔥
He sings just like it is in the video
He’s so damn talented
What type of lighting fixtures were those? I work in theatre and I have never seen fixtures do what those were doing.
Damn! Now THAT is a performance! Major props for your talent brother.
Best looking man in the world ❤
There was a moment where I was watching Donald, waiting for him to start moving, then I suddenly realized I was missing out on some amazing moves from the dancers to his left!
Wow, that was great.
the problem about this performance is that it ends
Did the artist doing the adlibs record with him or he took it from other songs? This dude is genius !
Recorded with him. It's 21 savage doing the adlibs I believe
@@IBedtimeCookiesOMG IT IS?!
Bro in the first half of the song 🧍♂️
This is important art
I miss memories this is American 2020-2021
❤🥲
Song is great no doubt.
But how do the lighting affects work???
How did they get the lines to stop and start???
I want to guess that it was projected aligned from the camera but the dancers cross the beam.
I'm sure it is probably stupidly simple so help me out
Essa inercia dele, mesmo a musica rolando,os bailarinos dançando é desesperador! Mostra quê é exatamente asim que estamos e agimos diante das brutalidades e violência embaixo do nosso próprio nariz.
Yo, Childish cooked on this performance.
LHDA TSFA MY. 🙌🙌🙌👏
Preach!
Lando Calrissiam being a hit singer
wow.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
genius
Love it…………
Wowwww
'WE' are something else, I tell ya.
damn what's going on with those lights, that's quite a visual experience
Lights frequencies sync with the tv camera own frequency ;p
Theyre projectionlasers, can put pictures into the sky, its like hologram type shit but not quite there yet. Look em up :)
Only works for the camera.
This is the Falcon Han
It did the Kessel Run
You cannot steal it Han
This is fire!
I don’t think I like it, but I appreciate it.
It looks like he's about to be sentenced to the Phantom Zone!
Maravilhoso
On Point
He has a backing track drop out on purpose in this
