    I love the song, I love the video. You’re right it is all about control and being in the drivers seat. But do you want to know my favorite part of the video, the Hot Cheetos Mr Glover was eating.

    Awesome interpretation Rod. It’s much better than my own. I thought that it was a reinactment of the “Eddie Murphy picking up transsexuals” scandal. That was based upon the dated clothes and car.

    Fantastic analysis of the video and getting a deeper meaning of a good song. Good work man.

    I would expect this from CG. Bouncing around in a nightclub or soundstage wouldn’t have done this song justice. The storytelling video is a lost art.

    I, like you, did not fully understand this song until after seeing the video. A lightbulb went off like “hey! THAT’S what he’s talking about!” I love your analysis.

    Rod your breakdown is excellent. Most insightful dude I that I (fake) know. And this vid is simply genius. When I posted the Heartbreak vid on my blog a few days ago, I only put one word: Genius. This is a great explanation of that. I fux wit you dude. For real.

    I agree, the video adds to the depth of the song. Great post

    Great post and hopefully more people can get and appreciate the genius of Mr. Gambino. I kinda got some of the tones from the music but the video went over my head. Glad you broke it down.
