Childish Gambino Takes Shots At Kanye West, Travis Scott and Nicki Minaj in New Music Video


Childish Gambino is aiming some super-sly criticism at several of other prominent performers in the hip-hop world with his new music video for his track “Feels Like Summer.”

 In the newly released visual, an animated Gambino (real name: Donald Glover) strolls through a neighborhood jam-packed with hitmakers, including Travis Scott and Nicki Minaj. The pair is sitting in a front yard playing with blocks. Minaj has built a house, which Scott sends tumbling to pieces by yanking out a key block. It’s hard to not interpret this as a nod to the rapper claiming the Number 1 spot on the Billboard charts when Minaj's new album Queen debuted, leaving her in second place and claiming that he used his girlfriend Kylie Jenner's fame to drum up more record sales.

 But the most striking moment of the video has to be when an animated Kanye West wearing a President Donald Trump-supporting “Make America Great Again” hat bursts into tears. Then, out of the shadows behind him comes former first lady Michelle Obama, who embraces the weeping rapper. West has attracted the ire of the hip-hop world and beyond this year for voicing his support of the polarizing politician.

 Also appearing the video is the rap group Migos, who play a heated game of basketball around Gambino. And Dr. Dre, P. Diddy, Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa and JAY-Z can all be seen dancing on a lawn while Gucci Mane kicks back nearby. Janelle Monae and SZA are shown skateboarding while J. Cole turns the hose on Rae Sremmurd, as both brandish Super Soakers.

Why Christopher Reeve's ''Superman' Is So Hard to Leave in the Past

#ChristopherReeve #Clarkkent #DCcomics #LoisLane #RichardDonner #Superman Forty years ago, Richard Donner and Christopher Reeve made a Superhero film that directors have been chasing for years, depicting who America was then — or at least who we wished to be Superman. It’s now easy to believe a man can fly. It wasn’t in 1978, but today, in midst of an explosion of superhero movies, it’s a belief we give into with relative ease. Flight is most often the bare minimum of what we expect from heroes and villains who can perform any feat limited only by the human imagination. It’s not simply special effects that permit our belief, but rather an overall acceptance that these costume-clad characters are a defining part of our culture, modern myths at their best and populist cinematic staples akin to the 20th century western at their lowest form. There have been a record nine theatrically released superhero movies based on comic books this year alone, each claiming a major piece of the glo...
