I am a huge fan of Donald Glover. (Check my shirt lol)

His style is unique and meaningful, he is almost avant-garde in his videos too. The song Me and Your Mama is a masterpiece.

I loved this dude in Community he's really funny 😅 I honestly didn't know he is a singer but I knew he did other stuff. He also reminds me of a childhood friend who looked like him.

He made me laugh in the first song, the machine gun bit is hilarious lol

The second video is brilliant.

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether Tbh, I don’t think he created that vid for laughs. It was more in frustration about the killings that go on in our country.

@bijouxbroussard Yea I get that it's about a deep message, especially the very last scene. He's brilliant.

I love those videos! Whatever the words, there’s a continuity to them that really demonstrates the connectivity of the human race that so many seem so determined to ignore or deny. Thinking of moving to Canada though… 🤔😂

@JustNik Agreed ! What blew my mind was how the original spoke to so many people worldwide that they felt inspired to use it to tell their stories.

I'd never seen this before. Powerful indeed. You continue to open up new musical doors for me. Thanks for that. 🙂
