@@tyrus9mmI think you’re missing the point of the song, with the song he is condemning violence and symbolizing how you can’t escape violence and everyone deals with it no matter who you are
I remember watching this music video for the first time being completely blown away as soon as I finish it, I started from the beginning, so I couldn’t want to listen to the song, and to pay more attention to the video itself, because for once in a very, very long time. Immediate video was awesome and relevant to the world.
@@bandoo1882it’s still not even close to a beat switch. It’s just another section in the song like a verse or stick. A beat switch is basically just switching to a whole different song with different tempo, chord progressions, sound selection etc.

i remember watching this video for the first time. it was an insane feeling. the video, the lyrics, the guns, its so well done and gives the message they were trying to tell perfectly.
I just love that song because it shows the true America. Not the America that everyone wants you to believe. It ain’t the land of the free. But it sure is home of the brave. Gotta be brave to live in a country so screwed.
Another banger beat switch that I absolutely adore from this mans is the the intro for "Me and Your Mama" where the first half of the intro sounds mystical, almost fantasy-like then it switches totally his badass guitar. It gets me everytime
Personally J Coles entire discography has just had such a huge impact on my life, I’ve learned so much from listening to his music and it has taught me so much about life and how precious and special it really is, so I would just like to thank J Cole for making the amazing music that he does
It isn’t just a sick beat switch. It’s a fuckin message that went over the heads of everyone in America. Because it is a worsening problem. He caught us slippin’, now.
@@ferrarifem11 a lot of people do but those discussions barely get any recognition, even within black families we talk about it whenever black on black crime happens every time we hear about it you'd be surprised, maybe you don't think so but we do 🤦🏽♀️
I wish I could watch this video for the first time again. It’s the only MV that had me gasping from shock

then watch lay lit u will be SHOCKED
this song just creates more division and the video itself does to. you're falling for it. right now.

Frrr idk why people are hating on it
@@Ally_does_stuff it is, also the fact it was meant to be diss to drake too.
Cringe ass line but it's okay when childish gambino says it cause that sounds good asf
@vonniescheaffer2766 It was supposed to be initially, but it became a criticism of America.
The fact that the beat doesn’t even change.
This is the first time I’ve registered this as a beat switch, before it was just so natural I never thought about it
Bc it’s not,the only difference is some hi hats
@@Martinyonko only difference between a choir singing and a 808 driven rap beat are hi hats??

@@bandoo1882 it’s a pre chorus to the chorus, look at other actual beat switches like on Kendrick Lamar’s duckworth
It's a banger
Ye
Its a "banger"
This song hits different after recent events
It's woke cringe
@@nandochavez4546 nah, it’s actually fax
It's not really even a traditional switch. It's like a full cinematic transition and it's beautiful

If they added the gun shots on the Spotify and Apple Music version it would go sooo hard

I honestly never noticed that
If you add the music video version on Apple Music you can hear the gunshots
Yet music got a dub
i swear mine has the gun shots alr. 😅
Firsr mistake was using Spotify or apple music
Debatably one of his best songs ever
This and Kendrick Lamar "DNA" beat switch is amazing
Like literally every song on they album other than duckworth, not good and overrated
You do know what DNA stands for right? It involves me and you

🤡
and with one lyric “This is America” and so many actions that be goin on in the background
this is still the most powerful video and that beat is hauntingly beautiful
I remember watching this and my jaw dropping at this part
I was doing a song for a school thing bc a rapper came down and he shown us this like 20 hours after it released and I’ll never forget this song
What the teacher thinks will happen if we talk during a drill
"This is America , don't catch you slippin now"

i remember watching this video for the first time. it was an insane feeling. the video, the lyrics, the guns, its so well done and gives the message they were trying to tell perfectly.
This video caught me so off guard the first time i watched it 😂
My favorite part of the video, the way the entire mood of the song changes is so cool
Whole mood of the song and video is set with the John crow reference at the start…
I just love that song because it shows the true America. Not the America that everyone wants you to believe.
It ain’t the land of the free. But it sure is home of the brave. Gotta be brave to live in a country so screwed.
Inner city ghettos is not the true America.
I've never actually noticed the choir saying "get your money" then switching it yo "get your black man" like fuck even the choir are spitting bars
Nah man, this reminds me of 2018 when my cousins Showed us this
Miss those days☹️
The beat switch in "This is America" was so smooth and impactful, it really caught me off guard. It's a cultural reset that still hits hard.
Bro that bass after the switch is too good
This song is still a banger🔥
“this is america” will always be a lyrical and visual masterpiece
Props for adding the timestamp!
Childish Gambino is one of the most talented people on earth
Banger 🔥🔥
POV: 2018 and this song turns on🔥
it really depicts the current situation of shootings in America
Yep black on black violence
Shit been happening since the Klan, this ain’t just the current situation.
This song is such a masterpiece... i loved every bit of it
That escalated quickly
Bruh when he combines the chorus with his verses later🔥🔥
Jah Talks Music, great video I really liked it
How can u not get 1k likes with 400k 💀💀💀
Another banger beat switch that I absolutely adore from this mans is the the intro for "Me and Your Mama" where the first half of the intro sounds mystical, almost fantasy-like then it switches totally his badass guitar. It gets me everytime
Still holds to this day. As one or if not. Hyped up songs loll
Omg i remember this song it gives me so many memories 😭
This beat kills bro
💀💀💀💀
technically the beat didnt change, but it still goes hard af
It did lol. The only thing that didn't change was the drums. The 808 pattern is different as well as the bass and the mixed choir humming
Bro Bohemian Rhapsody has insane change of beats
Everyone needs to watch this 10xs in a row….think about it….watch it 10 more 10xs…..and Pray👀😭🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Finally! A video that gives a timestamp!
(I seen the song tho)

whats funny?
i remember when this song came out everyone was talking about it. Glover is a legend of the arts
This hits harder than my dad
childish gambino always has the best transitions prove me wrong
I agree
The nostalgia hit me so hard me and my uncle used to listen to this in the car all the time while I watched the vid
"GET YOUR BAT-MAN!"🗣🔥🔥
Who noticed the Young Thug adlibs? 😃
Frr
I was watching this while waiting for an unskipable 10 minute add to finish on my vr headset to watch markipler

gonna be 5 years in may
@@lmSloth10 wth seriously
POV it’s your first time in America but you landed in Detroit☠️
You just have to visit this every year
Bro was not feeling them anymore 💀
It's a reference to the Charleston church shooting in 2015. This song is a political statement. There are a ton of references.
10k should be one
The “this is America” slaps
Troy Barnes looks bit dif here
after community college it all went down hill for him
Uncle Aron be wilding
Me and your Mama is probably Childish Gambino’s best tbh
frrrr that song slaps
Redbone hits so hard too ngl
Do Kiss Land by The Weeknd. It be making me ascend
This song never fails to give me chills
the most accurate representation of America
🤡
me and your mama by childish gambino is so good too
yess
Was not expecting this today, great review!
Childish Gambino is underrated AS FUCK.
What abt 911/mr lonely?
That's not a beat switch at all is more like a song switch
Yeah, 911/mr lonely are technically two dif songs
Ik it’s 2 songs but the switch was good
"Get your black man"💀
That’s not a beat switch, that’s just dynamics my friend
This scene Is actually based on an actual shooting that happened at a church
Charleston
I think there's a lot of messages in this song as well that correlate to real issues/standards in America
@@depresssedchild_1 Yes America Is fucked up from time to time.

Best part is that the beat didn’t really change but the atmosphere changed and turned the entire mood upside down, such an amazing song.
This was a banger, then it got way to overplayed like all of his other songs
That ain’t a beat switch bro
