This a mumble comment?

I'm sure Disney is just absolutely elated that one of the stars of their upcoming Star Wars properties made a challenging video such as this.  5/5 for having something to say.

Also gotta say, he's come a long way from his earlier music:

A watered down Gil Scott-Heron cataring for whitey now has genius status because he repetes the same BS that has been repeted for the last 50 years?

He is charismatic as fuck but this is neither good or inovative.

I very much enjoyed this selection, but just because someone stated something before doesn't mean it shouldn't be stated again.  It's also worth noting that "Gun" is more about gun control ("everbody give up theirs, then I give up mine") whereas "This is America" isn't really commenting upon gun control but rather gun violence.

I didn’t say people are free to say things again and again and again and again and again.

I said it wasn’t innovative.

It’s perfectly fine to copy and occasionally add to an already established thought.

A bit like a new Spiderman movie.

But, my personal opinion is that this music was horribly boring and bad.

Perhaps he is a genius as people say. I have no idea. But I didn’t see it in this video.

I can respect that.  I've shared it with some friends who also weren't impressed with the music or lyrics.
