That was the point, just like in this is america. Everybody paid attention to the dancing and not violence and message bino was trying to send until the second time around.
I think the global warming connection to Bees dying off and extreme hot temperatures was genius. I wish he took it a step further and showed dead bees on the floor. In my old neighborhood there was always dead bees on the floor and some struggling to stay alive. It was actually sad. One time I saved one. Brought it back home and fed it organic sugar mixed with water and the little guy started flying again :)
The most important meaning of the video is how the visuals distract you from the more important lyrics. It's like how pop culture distracts us from the more important fact that our world is in dire straights.
What world problem? Its not really getting hotter everyday the season is just changing, the sun fluctuates making our climate hot or cold sometimes. In my opinion i know global warming is not a big issue cause i know about technology that already exists to literally take the carbon out of the air and export the bi product safely, but the only problem rn is people funding planting trees instead which is more expensive and doesnt do as much as these machines would, and theres also the problem of once theres less carbon in the air, will the factories start producing more carbon for more money, so thats a huge political thing going on that no one knows about. And 2nd we dont really need the classic American honey bee because there are actual multiple species of bees that do the same thing of pollinating flowers etc, but the only reason we have honey bees is cause of their honey. Of course no one wants them to go extinct but we dont "need" them and i dont see it as a world problem. I honestly just hate the virtue signaling obscure lyrics donald uses sometimes
I knew that ice cream wasn't about X. X had the blond dye on the left side not the right. Also why ice cream? Why not just have someone wear a R.I.P shirt like they did Fredo 🙏
I think Gambino uses “global warming” as an analogy for racial tension. The verse where he says “ I know Oh, I know you know that pain I'm hopin' that this world will change But it just seems the same (It is not the same)” can be used interchangeably. Additionally, he illustrates this concept very well as Andrew Gillum OR Shannon Sharpe sits on the bench eating Chocolate AND Vanilla ice cream, that eventually melts due to the “heat”. And notice that neither one of the ice cream flavors MIX due to the change in temperature. It has absolutely nothing to do with X. Powerful analogies.
I agree. I was very surprised by the deep meaning by the lyrics then what it says, what it could actually mean and then the visuals provided in the music video which served as the cherry on top. Incredible.
you see how nobody is focused on the lyrics, there focused on the celebrities and shit, what hes saying has meaning and nobody was focused on that, only the celebrities, just like how it is today
But also I think you missed the part on mental illness in our community. The first daydream sequence shoes Cudi and Kanye- both notorious and open with their mental health struggles yet featured somewhat in the shadows of the video.
It's amazing how contemporary people can misunderstand an artist's work, create a different narrative and then argue against other equally wrong interpretations.
I feel like the video it self was kind of like Gambino taking one last walk through the rap game because we all know he's probably gonna stop rapping soon and focus on his acting and it was rumored that this was going to be his last song and him walking into the house and it fading to black signified him leaving the game but idk that's just how I interpreted it
This is America - Everyone was focused on the lyrics and dancing and not the background. Feels Like Summer - Everyone was focused on the video and not the lyrics.
The thing that pissed me off was that everybody kept saying the ice cream was xxx. Like why tf would they draw xxx as a cart of ice cream. That would've probably been one of the most controversial things ever if it was actually true. Also I kinda wish they did put xxx in the video.
I wish they would have given the artists more time to get all of the artist animations accurate. There were so many people in there that I didn't know who they were at all.
i think the meaning was to show all the problems we have with the world and everyone is focused on these rappers lives and completely forget we could all die soon lmao
Childish Gambino is a genius this is the spark that can change the world much love brother i was deeply moved by this song and Gambinos vision brilliantly executed
I live about 30 minutes from DeKalb County and about 45 minutes from Stone Mountain. And I must say, they did good with the scenery for this neighborhood. This whole video was good.
I really thought that was an XXX tribute . It would’ve been poetic that way. Anyway, now I’m confused about Shannon Sharpes correlation to ice cream and race differences.
Beyonce wearing that R.I.P. Fredo Santana shirt was pretty dope. Snoop Dogg, Diddy and Dr. Dre dancing together was a cool moment. 2 Chains taking a pic of Meek Mill, Lil Wayne and Pusha T was a dope shot. Opra Winfrey and Tiffany Hadish braiding hair together was dope. The last two shots of a young Witney Houston and a young Michael Jackson was the prefect closer and most emotional scenes to this video. Excellent work of different people together in peace. #2ThumbsUp
At first i thought the ice cream was X' past self melting bc hes gone now. Since X hated his blond angry self, and he even states it in the "SAD" music vid. But at the same time i thought it was MLKJ saying all whites and blacks should callab together to make peace.
The ice cream is NOT xxxtentacion. It’s Martin Luther King jr and the ice cream represents the idea that his dream of white and black people living in harmony didn’t happen at all in 2018. That’s why he’s sad on the bench.

In the actual music video no one was paying attention to the lyrics
10,000 subs with some videos we really weren’t lol
Feels like samba
I did
never thought about it to actually understand
That was the point, just like in this is america. Everybody paid attention to the dancing and not violence and message bino was trying to send until the second time around.
When Soulja Boy is telling Lil Pump and Trippie Redd about the time he caught a body 😏
This is the opposite of a disstrack, it's a... _chill_ track.
your everywhere
PowahSlap Entertainmint stop reacting yourself.
You said that on the music video
You said already
PowahSlap Entertainmint yoir everywhere

Andy Vegan bees hate me lmao
@Teal Fox because you keep running from them properly just swatt it away
@Teal Fox dont swat at them either just let them land on u they will fly away after a lil
i dont know if you know this, but when bees drink sugar water, they become high and lucid.
Good man
The most important meaning of the video is how the visuals distract you from the more important lyrics.
It's like how pop culture distracts us from the more important fact that our world is in dire straights.
Sad how most people don't see that he's talking about world problems in the lyrics
bolisnek I think that’s the point! We’re so distracted by people’s issues that we forget the world around us is literally Changing
Not true like 50% of the comments are about the lyrics..
Everyone noticed he was.
I can't that alot of people are so stupid
We've been blinded by pop culture and not focusing on the real problems of the world

Conjurn 稗 no obe really cares about sides,its all about in colors
@@user-bf3yh6ue7p these guys care a lot about details, so I'm pretty sure they would get which side of his hair is the correct colours
I just see it as X fans looking for something to make it about X
they were well into the animation before x died even though the ice cream wasnt a reference like you said
This was made before x passed I believe, but yeah, I wish there would’ve been a rip x thing
I think Gambino uses “global warming” as an analogy for racial tension. The verse where he says “ I know
Oh, I know you know that pain
I'm hopin' that this world will change
But it just seems the same

Powerful analogies.
heat can also be used for gun violence so it may have something to do with x
akira adachi it doesn’t have anything to do with X
So, is he saying that in a couple or more years, we will have peace?
Where are the racial tensions???
I agree. I was very surprised by the deep meaning by the lyrics then what it says, what it could actually mean and then the visuals provided in the music video which served as the cherry on top. Incredible.
The ice cream debate is over. I personally thought it was supposed to be X given the focus on it.
That dank guy I believe so as well
@@slimjimjr96 welp the guy who put it there showed us otherwise
did he ever say what is _was_ meant to represent?
@@slimjimjr96 global warming probably
@@slimjimjr96 i think its abt black and white race but idk what abt
I knew it wasn’t X. His fans wanted it to be him so bad that they were making up conspiracies n’ shit. It was aggravating me.
Me too
That was SZA?????? Should’ve made her hair longer. Nonetheless, bomb ass animation!
I figured it was Tessa Thompson at first.
Astiana Alissia Lynn yea I had no idea that was sza 🤔
Thought it was Tessa Thompson too
Astiana Alissia Lynn exactly. I appreciate the different aspects. However I need that drawings dude info. I love his whole vibe.
O so u should be the one who animated the video then?!?!? Dont talk like that!!!!
“Anything we might have missed” yeah how about the other 50 characters names and all the other scenarios besides the one you vaguely mentioned
Rating hip hop lyrics got a video where they say everybody name hope u find it.
you see how nobody is focused on the lyrics, there focused on the celebrities and shit, what hes saying has meaning and nobody was focused on that, only the celebrities, just like how it is today
So my aunt asked': Why do u always look for meaning in everything?"
I said, " So I know if it is meaningless."
Now y'all could stop reaching
I WAS SWIPING AT MY PHONE FOR A GOOD 2 MINUTES BECAUSE I THOUGHT YOUR PIC WAS A DOG HAIR😧🤣
Bruh are you
The same person i said everytime why is there a hair on my screen then tried wiping it off so many times 👿👿👿👌
K P there is a bunch of them
It’s not reaching, I mean it’s Gambino, he’s subliminal
I'm so glad they killed that XXX theory
MattMatrixJohnson I read this wrong. I was about to get on you.
I am too
hmm no interesting how the fu- watch yourself now.
Gaming with Dasani lol u wouldn’t do shit 😂😂😂
😂 I read it wrong
I could have sworn that Jaden Smith reference was a Eminem reference to his *Without Me* music video.
Same, but then I remembered Jaden had that white batman suit and music video
But also I think you missed the part on mental illness in our community. The first daydream sequence shoes Cudi and Kanye- both notorious and open with their mental health struggles yet featured somewhat in the shadows of the video.
so basically even the animators don't really know
Who else thought Jaden Smith was Eminem in his Robin hood outfit?
That's who I thought it was
I thought that aswell!
Dam sure did
It's Jaden?
Should've been. Wouldve been hilarious.
His songs have a very deep yet clear messages ❤️
It's amazing how contemporary people can misunderstand an artist's work, create a different narrative and then argue against other equally wrong interpretations.
The ice cream meaning is a black and white people
I thought it was about Xxxtentacion
I'm tried telling everyone thats not x tell everyone this video who said the ice cream is about x
oh look is that hair yo i dead ass just tried to wipe hair off my screen 😣😂😂😂
Fr I was so fed up with seeing his name all over the comment section
oh look is that hair your dp looks like a piece of hair on my screen
Fr as much as I love x,I know it's not him
highrollerlion oh look.. an x fan..
X was always better than most on the video. A true music genius, just misunderstood.
I feel like the video it self was kind of like Gambino taking one last walk through the rap game because we all know he's probably gonna stop rapping soon and focus on his acting and it was rumored that this was going to be his last song and him walking into the house and it fading to black signified him leaving the game but idk that's just how I interpreted it
4:46 I was really hoping they would talk more about that cudi/Kanye part
U know that kid cudi was dealin with mental health and kanye's hate for obama and his love for donald
This is America - Everyone was focused on the lyrics and dancing and not the background.
Feels Like Summer - Everyone was focused on the video and not the lyrics.
lRomez mostly about x 🚮🤦🏽♂️
Me watching this video : * I knew it.*
Justin Richburg literally said the ice cream was to reference X in the Genius framework video.
I'm simple I see Young king *Xxx* I click💯
R.I.P Legend❤
So youre easily clickbaited
I hope he is in HELL were he belongs
sack of shit
@@zezemh5462 Lol
He's not a legend UK he's not when everyone likes him after he died
Who else was calling out the rappers that you saw or could make out
This is well done!! Thanks for this! 🙌🏾
Insider: Hey genius can I borrow your homework
Genius: yeah sure just change it a little
Insider: aight
Insider: *shits out this video*
The thing that pissed me off was that everybody kept saying the ice cream was xxx. Like why tf would they draw xxx as a cart of ice cream. That would've probably been one of the most controversial things ever if it was actually true. Also I kinda wish they did put xxx in the video.
They added trippie and lil pump so logically x should have been in there
I would've loved too see an X cameo
I wish they would have given the artists more time to get all of the artist animations accurate. There were so many people in there that I didn't know who they were at all.
i think the meaning was to show all the problems we have with the world and everyone is focused on these rappers lives and completely forget we could all die soon lmao

Chocolate or vanilla, they both melt the same.
I live about 30 minutes from DeKalb County and about 45 minutes from Stone Mountain. And I must say, they did good with the scenery for this neighborhood. This whole video was good.
Plot twist: it wasn’t actually a summer day..
That's literally one of the secrets. It's global warming.
Lol XD
😂
I had been saying the guy on the bench was Shannon Sharpe and that ice cream was not XXX 😐.
I really thought that was an XXX tribute . It would’ve been poetic that way. Anyway, now I’m confused about Shannon Sharpes correlation to ice cream and race differences.
Chris Alex i don’t disagree with you but “poetic” ?lmao
I ❤ J. R.'s honesty, u can tell he's not 1for small talk
Glad RUclips chose to put this on their trending tab.
Thanks for video i like his animations
Had this on my playlist since the beginning of summer. Great song and video
Why the lady be looking like a barcode tho? 😂😂
thanks for break-in it down.. to the nitty gritty!! very powerful thanks
No wonder it gave me Sunday afternoon Atlanta vibes
Why would anyone think the melted ice cream was xxx ? People play to much
i swear gambino has the most clever videos
I love the art style. It's like Paranoid Android combined with Mike Judge. (King of Hill)
Beyonce wearing that R.I.P. Fredo Santana shirt was pretty dope. Snoop Dogg, Diddy and Dr. Dre dancing together was a cool moment. 2 Chains taking a pic of Meek Mill, Lil Wayne and Pusha T was a dope shot. Opra Winfrey and Tiffany Hadish braiding hair together was dope. The last two shots of a young Witney Houston and a young Michael Jackson was the prefect closer and most emotional scenes to this video.

4:58 Snoop Dog the White One
This is America.
No this is patrick
@@iulianermurachi8092 :0
Don’t catch you slipping now
Mythical Giraffe This is -America-
This is summer
America is two continents
So glad that they cleared up the fact that the ice cream wasn’t XXX
Justin Richburg is such a dope artist 💯
the ice cream in the thumbnail is my lock screen 😤😤
This whole time I that that the ice cream represented X... it would even hit me in the feels...
‘63 African-American rappers’
*chuckles in lil pump*
The message i got was slow down don't live so fast ,don't burn out.
3:38 they just clipped his sentence.. Did they change the meaning or something??
Well thanks for the explanation 😐😐😐
I only clicked on this bc xxxtentacion was on the thumbnail
Shut....
Epic Roblox Gamer girl version me too
Congrats
Fish B8 nobody actually cares about u
And he’s not even referenced in the video
I don't know about all that other stuff but all I know is the girl who did the interview is beautiful❤❤.
This is amazing artwork
The guy on the bench was Dr. Martin Luther King, and the ice cream was his dream melting away
thats shannon sharpe
NEVER FORGOTTED R.I.P
LMAO
@@joshzak8457 😂
Songs are not for the song itself, but the meanings behind said song.
Is it just me or does the character portraying Sza not look like Sza at all?
At first i thought the ice cream was X' past self melting bc hes gone now. Since X hated his blond angry self, and he even states it in the "SAD" music vid. But at the same time i thought it was MLKJ saying all whites and blacks should callab together to make peace.
Lol I was just listening it to it
Awesome tune
R.I.P Xxx
I like how they censor the named but stil show him being tagged
I really wanted X to be in it🖤
Lil Fiji well, Childish Gambino don’t think so 😂
Justin Richburg 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥, is that bro
RIP XXXTENTACION We Love You
But who's hair is Tiffany braiding
Zendaya
The icecream for me was about the racial divide in the country spilling over..
Yes! I think that’s it!
Danggggg that's really deep and an excellent explanation! Not even I thought of it cuz everyone thought it was X. That's brilliant.
Wow, and I thought thinking it was X was reaching
Rip xxx and fredo
The ice cream is NOT xxxtentacion. It’s Martin Luther King jr and the ice cream represents the idea that his dream of white and black people living in harmony didn’t happen at all in 2018. That’s why he’s sad on the bench.
Everyone is talking about the video, but I think the song is a masterpiece by itself!
Lol thumbnails killed me
Im pretty sure the ice cream represents black and white with martin luther king sitting next to it
REMINDS ME OF USERS HATE WHEN SCHOOL IS OUT
What is the name of the background music in the first part of the video?
Beautiful sad/ chill song; great animation. I wonder if the message would be cooler from the bee’s perspective.
I THOUGHT IT WAS X
Eddie Sierra then you’re an idiot
@@iseeyhueesdaddy769 shut up
YOU WAS WRONG!!
Great overview.
S/O Justin Richburg for using Batik an Indonesian Culture Pride
Ivan Dixon looks a bit like Ludwig Göransson (the Feels Like Summer record producer and writer)
Interesting. I have not watched it yet, but I guess I can check it out.
If they made the animation “2 months ago” how did they incorporate the whole Travis and Nicki thing? 🧐
It just happened to be like that. It's literally stated in the video
Thought it was ice cream and I still do
I clicked right away when I saw X
4:48 when Kiki doesn’t love you
Buzzy Beez it was gods plan
That's not drake
Swiss Lord
it wasn’t supposed to be drake
SHUT UP *LIBERAL*
Buzzy Beez that’s Kid Cudi....
I can't believe that people thought the melting vanilla and chocolate ice cream was xxxtentacion
couldnt tell it was nicki at first because they made her skin so light
Who is the girl who get her hair done by Tiffany? Some people said Zendaya others said Kylie Jenner.
Lil Pump isn't black but it's good
