I listened to this without the video and I was surprised at how much I actually liked it. Obviously the video makes it better, and I’m still annoyed at how overly simplistic and repetive the lyrics are. But I realized most of my disdain for this song was because I thought it could be so much better, and while that’s still true, I shouldn’t judge a song purely based off its potential. The lyrics do manage to get across a message, plus the beat is great and Gambino’s performance, along with all the others rappers’ ad-libs, is quite solid. I’m down for this getting that #1 debut.

I think the simplicity helps the message get across. It's to the point. Plus, hip-hop (at least in the mainstream), has been going more simplistic. Not in an insulting way, though more miminalism and simple lyrics a lot of the time.

This is really great when combined with the video, but just doesnt stand that well by itself. I have no doubt the album will be great though

So RCA said this wasn't the single apparently for an album? It'd be a perfect opportunity for an album, Glover.
