Well, similarities in the rap flow. That American Pharaoh song I have to say it is the much better version of a similar flow. To be honest, if there weren't some kind of political statement inherent in the video of This Is America who would even care about that song? It's not even lyrically interesting. The words are barely coherent.
I generally enjoy his music, but Glover has some sus lines, man. They hung Mussolini at a gas station for fascism, but he can get away with "Girl why is you lying, girl why you Mufasa". Welcome to Trump's America
Well, it is not an indictment on all of Glover's work, just that song. I don't like the music, I don't like his flow, and I don't even find it lyrically interesting.
I mean:
This is America (skrrt, skrrt, woo)
Don't catch you slippin' up (ayy)
Look at how I'm livin' now
Police be trippin' now (woo)
Yeah, this is America (woo, ayy)
Guns in my area (word, my area)
I got the strap (ayy, ayy)
I gotta carry 'em
He's not even saying a whole lot. It's just the video.
