track really nails the sound it's evidently aiming for but the song could be better

guy rly does have a messiah complex but i liked the cheerfully slight guava island: v deliberate leftwing fable, indulgently pretty (loved the aspect and the fake? 16mm grain, but the rounded edges were a bit much), funny, short, casually zero white people. rihanna is underused i guess but i kind of admired the willingness to underuse rihanna. chops provided by nonso anozie, whom i recognized immediately but couldn't place-- he's done lear and othello so naturally it turned out what i'd seen him in is a bit part in s1 game of thrones. anyway, just nice to watch something tropical.

the first article i found while googling around to figure out if it was actually shot on 16 was an all-hands-on-deck DONALD GLOVER DOESN'T UNDERSTAND CAPITALISM. CAPITALISM HAS LIFTED BILLIONS OUT OF POVERTY. IN 1900 THE AVERAGE WAGE WAS ONLY $3. AS JONAH GOLDBERG WRITES IN "THE DECLINE OF THE WEST", etc., so well done there.

it's Murai, right? he does so much digital grading on his other stuff that I'd assume the same here. 16mm instagram filter.

Apparently Donald Glover Presents was streamed this weekend. I haven't heard it yet, anyone have some thoughts?

That article is out of date, as the stream apparently disappeared later in the day.

It’s back up. Listening now. It’s .... really fucking good?

This is amazing. One of the best records of the year on first listen, and quite the zeitgeist record at that.

I keep hearing Redbone in public and it's always a pleasure. Feels like it has really lasted beyond its time and become a classic

nothing exemplifies the vapid posturing of a lot of “creative” types during the trump era better than childish gambino dropping this and then joining the andrew yang campaign the following year https://t.co/06pLCPZWwm
