In the event that you've been living under a stone throughout the previous 10 days, Donald Glover otherwise known as Childish Gambino discharged the music video for his hit song, "This Is America". With its capable message and distinctive visuals, the music video, coordinated by Hiro Murai, has just amassed a stunning 110+ million perspectives on YouTube in addition to several millions more crosswise over web-based social networking. 

Donald Glover is no more unusual to Internet culture and made his begin on the web, as well as has grasped and recognized it wholeheartedly previously. That is to say, his sophomore collection is truly entitled, "On the grounds that the Internet".The video has commanded the social discussion (in any event in North America) and there have been innumerable deconstruction recordings (see here, here and here), papers and think pieces (see here, here and here) dismembering the importance and imagery found in "This Is America".

There's even an unexpected, click-baity article by Vice arguing the Internet 'not to image' the video, which clearly (particularly to a media outlet like Vice) will accomplish the correct inverse impact. 

Indeed America demonstrating one of the fundamental messages of "This Is America" isn't just an unavoidable outcome, however apparently inescapable these days. So take from this mashup what you will.

"This Is America, so Call Me Maybe" is a thing that now exists. It puts the new Gambino video to the tune of Jepsen's chart-topping 2011 hit, and you should be appalled by its tastelessness. But, maybe, you should also be impressed by how fantastically well these two songs sync up?


Glover debuted the song when he performed on Saturday Night Live, and the video immediately made a huge splash. As the Daily Dot's Audra Schroeder wrote, "Glover walks through a series of scenes filmed in a warehouse, and they change as the song's tone does too. In one scene, Glover dances with a choir before spraying them with a machine gun, possibly a reference to the 2015 Charleston, South Carolina, church shooting. "
