    May 3rd, 2020 my son was taken from this world before I ever got to hold him. This song took a whole different meaning for me. The world is cruel and mean. Rest in Peace Hendrix Beck.

    the passion and emotion behind this track. he has so many pent up thoughts and repressed them for so long that this song has haunting yet beautiful vocals at the end because that’s the only way to let it out. i can’t help but feel the pain and fear of losing his son, and this song is so complex and just amazing.

      Luis Montoya this sounds like he didnt want a kid but now he has one he wants him yet the hollywood music industry elite cult want him to sacrifice his kid to get higher in rank of millionaires club and possibly higher than mason.. instead of sacrificing his kid he sacraficed someoe else and himself.... this isnt a good song really due to fact theirs red flags as i said he sounded like he didnt want a kid due to fact thw industry will kill his first born .. hollywood and music and mason and elite cults to move up in ranks and get richeryou gotta screw your self over and you gotta kill your first born or one of your parents or a close friend or sibling..

    We see lots of people saying this isn't rap, it's risky, they don't like it, etc, etc.
    After all, rap has always been inspired by Funk and Soul music, using their samples over time. For me, Donald Glover is only going back to the roots and showcasing his versatility as well as good taste in music. One last thing, I believe he is going to reach a whole different set of audience with this album. Such as fans of Maxwell, Raphael Saadiq and so on. Well, I hope it's a good bet on his part!

And Gambino really captures that feel of classic R&B/soul. This is probably one of my favourite Albums at the moment. its just such a good turn for him.

    Forget everything you heard from Gambino before. All the rapping and funny lines. Forget it. Act as if this is a completely different person that you have never heard before, and I can almost guarantee that you will enjoy this album. I think we have this expectation of Because the Internet and Camp, and we try to make those the judging stick. Also, I think most people who enjoy Gambino's music are between like 16-30. So a lot of us aren't used to this kind of Funkadelic / Jimi Hendrix / Prince sound, because it's just not from our time. I had the luxury of parents always playing that music in my house but some don't. So I also suggest going back and listening to some old school funk and soul and rock from the 60s and 70s. I think it'll help appreciate this album even more. Because as a Gambino fan, I can honestly say that I love this more than his rapping. The whole sound and groove of this album is amazing. And Ik it's early but I think this might be my favorite album from him.

      Agree with your POV Jumar, Many rappers get scrutinized because all their music begins to sound the same. nothing by Gambino has really sounded the same since he came out. yea he got styles he pulled almost straight from the funk era, but i think its refreshing and unique to have his own interpretation. it makes me think this whole album was inspired by how well his fans received that interlude track on Because the Internet entitled "Urn" which i will listen to on repeat all day.

      Great picture painting. I find myself sitting down with my head titled towards the ground, slowly and softly bobbing with eyes closed sternly yet restfully as I gently bite my tongue and delicately run the tip of it between the inseams of my lips.

    (Donald Glover in the process of making this song thinking) "I cant give them too much soul but I kinda really wanna will give them enough to last through the next decade. so ill give a speech when the song is about to end and scream my lungs out from my soul and bless them with my vocals"
