    • Great video. Very odd reaction here.Gucci
    • This is an awesome piece of work. I liked it from the off, but then I started reading about some of the symbolism used (call back to Jim Crow, the double...Wolfboy
    • ...meaning for the 'celly/tool' lines, etc.) and I was blown away by it. A great video.Wolfboy

    • Great vid.maquito
    • Def great cinema showing violence normalized with music and dance. I still wonder how repeating/reinforcin... the violence might not be healthy for some minds...robotron3k
    • This is amazing. His perception and then challenging of what are considered social norms is so astute.thumb_screws
    • That last episode of Atlanta I watched (S2 ep10) was an absolute gut punch for me. Him and his team are producing great stuff.thumb_screws
    • "This guys father stole millions from a south american government and help prop up a dictatorship in said country."soundofreason
    • can't stop watching this clipautoflavour
    • fantasticfadein11
    • Brilliantly made video. Bravo to the film makers.mugwart
    • To the people criticizing it, did you even watch the whole video? Incredible work. Murai is a great director.ben_
    • Awesome video. Hiro has been killing it for some time now. http://hiromurai.com…haga
    • Fucking robotard riling up the masses again.Hayzilla
    • MehM01XXX
    • What's so good about this? The song is "meh" and the video isn't anything special either. Why the hype?M01XXX
    • it's ok if you don't get it.detritus
    • I like his QOTSA Smooth Sailing. He's got great technical skill. We don't see real filmmaking these days so I'll take what I can get!mugwart
    • It's brilliant in every mother f*cking way. Seriously. Glover is absolutely killing it.

      Best quote I've seen. "Glover is doing what Kanye thinks he's doing."

    • I've watched this a few times now and have to say it's pretty great. i've always like him but this vid elevates his art to a new level -- for me.Gnash
    • love the way he fetishises the violence. @robo, I don't see it as 'reinforcing' in the way your average stock gangsta vid does, at all.Gnash
    • It's not bad, I can listen to it. But that is what music videos are supposed to be, remember MTV til 2002? It was more than money flying and booties shaking.Maaku
    • RATM did that too...Maaku
    • yeah and don't forget M.I.A. https://www.youtube.…M01XXX
    • I mean, if you're comparing it to 'Gucci Gang, Gucci Gang, Gucci Gang' and the rest of the mumble rapping nowadays, then yes, it's a masterpiece.Maaku
    • If there was just a little more violence in the video and pushed harder by YouTube PR department, it could be a world wide hit... If only.robotron3k
    • I love the idea that other people's reactions to things I dislike could only possibly be moulded by media forces.detritus
    • I think this is brilliant and I had no idea what it was and went in with Cynicism on Full-Automatic, #11. It's not my music, not my culture, but Dang. Powerful.detritus
    • ..so I sent it to three people. Now, is it big media pushing buttons, or genuine interest network effects at play spreading this out and about? You decide.detritus
    • or don't. Just stick to your self-imposed confirmation bias based on nothing more than shallow prejudice and half-wit consideration.detritus
    • I'm not hating, I'm glad someone with his influence is using it to tell it like it is. Just don't know what the fuss is all about.Maaku
    • I like it.PhanLo
    • The lyric breakdown on Genius.com is awesome if you haven’t read it yetBrokenHD
    • @mandomafioso Yes, I'm sure white oppression is exactly what makes the young take guns and kill others. Bravo (slow clap). Yes, people just don't have agency...NJ_KL
    • Wait, this music video is just a trailer for that show "Atlanta" I've never seen, it's about young rappers trying to leave the streets and succeed. Pfft.robotron3k
