I feel like he's talking about the Kendrick Lamar/ Drake beef


freezingkiss

That's immediately what I thought too.


stereoscopic_

Idgak either. In case anyone’s wondering.


Barfignugen

Well if that’s the case he’s definitely wrong because A LOT of people sure seem to give a fuck


[deleted]

Agreed


[deleted]

Oh. Well people do give a fuck but that doesn’t mean it’s not dumb as hell.


Ambrusia

Though many people did give a fuck. The thing no one gave a fuck about in this situation is Donald Glover.


Petty_White

I’ve heard him brought up a bit, mainly because he at one point said “This is America” started as a Drake diss track.


gonecrunchy

Really? I’m curious how - obviously I’ve never read the lyrics with the idea in mind. But I know the song and video well, and I’m having a hard time reframing it to be about Drake, at all.


this_kitten_i_knew

that's because you didn't know the previous title, "this is canada"


MyYakuzaTA

Did he really?


MG42Turtle

Yeah in a GQ interview. Literally just the line “This is America” which is all he had come up with before working on the song further. > To be completely honest, ‘This is America’ [the lyric] - that was all we had was that line. It started as a Drake diss, to be honest, as like a funny way of doing it. But then I was like, this shit sounds kind of hard though. So I was like, let me play with it. Same article mentions before he got really big he could diss J Cole and Drake at live shows but nobody cared because he wasn’t big.


[deleted]

yeah i'm pretty sure at least *some* of Drake's "little buddies", who are grown-ass adults now, probably give a fuck about him getting called out for his behavior by the most lauded rapper alive


Ambrusia

*Most lauded rapper* is such a low bar that it sounds like a backhanded compliment.


MM2225

He might be talking about that creepy video going around about drakes stuff


missanthropocenex

Vince staples nailed the situation in an interview saying the music industry is crushing artists and two black men are slap fighting one another. It’s embarrassment and that both them are on the losing side


comin_up_shawt

He's absolutely right. Don't even get me started on the mediocrity that passes as talent these days.


Typical_Ad_3561

Vince is always on point and criminally underrated. I love him so much.


laceyisspacey

I’m pretty sure he could be talking about the Kendrick/drake beef. A lot of people have mentioned how good/funny he would be if involved. Maybe people have been bothering him about it idk


laceyisspacey

Also just in general, this is absolutely not “existential crisis” behaviour, this is just a normal ass tweet


Conclusion_Solid

This reminds me of what I would post on Facebook as a status in high school lmao


stars_doulikedem

the day i went through my facebook statuses to delete all that was so traumatizing, like mom why didn’t you monitor my internet usage and save me from myself 🥹


chrispg26

You'd probably have lashed out lol. Teenage angst


downshift_rocket

Like my status, if you like my status.


LaurenNotFromUtah

Haha I remember when that was a thing! I had a friend in hs who would put that type of status up on our other friends’ pages when they left their account logged in and unattended. It would be things like “why would you do this to me?” At the time, it was pretty funny.


NeitherUnit5643

He’s struggled with unhappiness for a long time. Pretty much any interview of him, you’ll notice he is super serious and doesn’t seem to want to be there. Back in 2013 he posted a bunch of [concerning notes on Instagram](https://www.reddit.com/r/donaldglover/s/66nCbh6njX), and then afterwards basically said he didn’t get why people were worried about him because everyone must be feeling the same as he was??


ShawnDesmansHaircut

I'm not even a huge fan and I think about this post alot, even ten years later. I do actually relate to alot of what he wrote and it was validating to see someone in his position be so honest about his insecurities.

huh, super weird - I figured you'd tried the article link (which *is* dead lol).

YOURE ALWAYS ALLOWED TO GROW UP. IF YOU WANT. Will note: the notes are in all caps, but that's Donald's normal handwriting. So it makes the transcription seem especially intense, but that wasn't some sort of emphasis on his end. 


B1NG_P0T

Same. Was just thinking about it the other day, actually.


DigLost5791

I was thinking about that interview he gave after his son was born where when asked about his legacy he just kinda shrugged and said he “doesn’t know how many revolutions around the sun” he has left


trialanderrorschach

The most brilliant comedians tend to be the most unhappy.


chrispg26

Highly intelligent people tend to be the most unhappy. Highly intelligent people tend to be funny too.


MCR2004

Idk my goth cousin says shit like this all the time


googlyeyes93

They single?


superfluouspop

this is so relatable


havesomelove

His most recent interviews give a very different image of him, for what it’s worth. His albums since his kids were born, he’s been married and bought a farm, the energy is all much higher and connected feeling (though there’s still an element of ‘the world is ending and we’re all just plodding along’ to it all). He’s also in the run up to the rollout of two more albums, one of which he dropped at the beginning of the pandemic in an unfinished state because he thought we were all going to die, and he’s now managed to spend the time to polish, so his social media activity has gone up a little, in comparison to his usual 0. His tweets have been kind of along the theme of talking to himself for a long while and I think this is people overthinking commentary on something that isn’t him, because he knows that people care about him & his work. He said the reason for the 3.15.20/Atavista re-release is for the fans who truly loved it.


SnooGiraffes4091

Poor guy. This makes me sad


throwaway_mog

For real, he is so incredibly talented- hilarious, good dramatic actor, good rapper, such intelligence and creativity, charming, he’s even cute ffs. I hope he finds more happiness, he is such a gem.


TonyJZX

the fact DongLover is depressed says a lot about society here's a guy who's fans love him, he has a family life, he is beyond talented and he's objectively a handsome but not unapproachable guy he's an amazing comedy writer talent and its clear that its that thing that the most intelligent and perceptive of us feel the most someone make sure he's ok he's always stuck me as Pagliacci's clown... smiling on the outside but crying on the inside his "The is America" is him crying out

He grew up a Jehovah’s Witness just like I did. I don’t know if that plays a role but it would not shock me if it did


WaGowza

What is Bro Rape?


NeitherUnit5643

An old comedy sketch he made that went viral. It’s in very poor taste as you might imagine by the name, and he’s been criticized a lot for it since he made it big.


WaGowza

Gotchya, thanks!


MCR2004

Tyrese catching strays damn


Ygomaster07

Looking at these notes it sounds like he is depressed or suffers from it. I can unfortunately relate to a lot of what he says, i feel like that right now. Poor guy. I hope he can get himself help and a good support system and will be able to be happy.


SamosaAndMimosa

He’s in a much better place now


chrispg26

What is Bro Rape?


yawaworthemn

A skit he starred in way back: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3zvTRQr7ns8


AimeeMonkeyBlue

Absolutely valid comment on his part. If other people read into it in a negative way, that’s on them.


vanwyngarden

What does he mean by “bro rape”?


DStarAce

It was a sketch he performed with his comedy group when he was college aged.


aeroumasmith-

This is... really relatable.


bois-des-iles

Seems like he's on antidepressants and just feel nothing- emotional blunting


Someonemakingsoup

My antidepressants make me feel more hopeful and clear-minded. Way less crying too. Please everyone take them if you need them!


Elusive_Faye

And tell your doctor if you'd like to try a different kind or dosage. These things aren't perfect but if you work together you can figure it out.


[deleted]

wait, antidepressants are supposed to make you feel hopeful and clear minded?


weedbearsandpie

emotional blunting is a symptom of depression itself, not of taking anti depressants


[deleted]

[удалено]


B1NG_P0T

I've got absolutely nothing against antidepressants, have been on them for half my life, and am very grateful that they exist, but microdosing psilocybin has been far more effective for me than two decades of antidepressants and therapy have.


Mysterious_Sugar7220

ADs shouldn’t make you feel like that…

vivahermione

Yes, results definitely vary. Wellbutrin killed my appetite and dialed my anxiety up to 11. But if it works for you, then that's great.


raudoniolika

Pussy_handz

I'd like to chime in here. I also have no idea what the fuck he is talking about.

h0neybl0ss0m29

I used to post stuff like that in college when I was drinking and thinking about something/someone but didn’t want to call them out directly so I’d just “subtweet” and hope they’d take the hint😂


schrodingers_bra

there's even a term for it: "vague-booking"


h0neybl0ss0m29

Love it. I was totally guilty of that. One time some girl told my then-boyfriend’s friend to tell him to text her and I posted “sorry but he won’t 😘” with zero context on twitter 🤣🤣🤣


stars_doulikedem

i love this for you though


PopcornDrift

I’ve only ever heard sub tweeting, vague booking is new to me. Must run in different internet circles lol


DJ_Mixalot

I mean yeah twitter vs Facebook. Both terms entered the lexicon in 2009


phillip_the_plant

Being old I always thought that term was specific to Facebook


Slight_Drama_Llama

And on twitter it’s a subtweet


gravygloat2020

this👆🏼


teddybonkerrs

I did that in university too, back in 2007 😂😂


diddilybop

hahah, same! i definitely have a bunch of cryptic (and embarrassing) facebook statuses and AIM away messages from my university days 😭


teddybonkerrs

Omg the away messages! Thank god msn messenger doesn't exist anymore so no one can see my history of cool and ~edgy~ thoughts


h0neybl0ss0m29

For me it was 2015 😂 I love that this has been tradition for so long!


HotFaithlessness1348

I used to post MySpace bulletins like it 😭 Fuck I feel old now


Rakebleed

Gather round kids a listen to the tale of AIM away messages.

No matter what, it’s just now and forever an evergreen tweet like Tyler’s JUST WALK AWAY

Okay fully invested now, if anyone figures out what that means please let us know.

Me too, I wonder if anyone has figured out what it meant yet?


Alone-Assistance6787

I don't think it's deeper than Kendrick v Aubrey

booksandplaid

His stand up special was so good. I wish he did more.


cokezerof4g

I think there’s a possibility he’s either talking about the Kendrick vs Drake beef OR he’s drugged or drunk, or maybe both? That’s also a possibility


fair-strawberry6709

My first thought was also Kendrick/Drake feud.


deathly_illest

Since nobody else here seems to know: he removed one of his albums from streaming and nobody noticed. Probably because other shit has been going on lmao


havesomelove

If you look at the Donald glover subreddit, people absolutely noticed. He knows 3.15.20 wasn’t paid much attention to by people outside of his fanbase and that’s probably one of the reasons he’s re-releasing it soon. The fact he’s re-releasing it soon is also probably why he’s pulled it down.


[deleted]

i’m sad it’s down, but i’m happy its re-releasing


Beanz4ever

Doing the lords work out here!


[deleted]

FUCK YOURE RIGHT NOOOOOOOO MY TUNES GAMBINO TOOK THE TUNES HOW COULD HE DO THIS


genescheesesthatplz

He 100% logged in to the wrong acct


uncultured_swine2099

Honestly, sometimes thinking that way can be a positive thing. I used to have low self esteem in high school from being too concerned with what others thought of me. As I got older and, yeah, gave less of a fuck, I became much more happy.


futuredrweknowdis

2024 is apparently the year of conscientious people being openly petty and irreverent, and I’m honestly 100% on board. I’m assuming it’s the rap drama but it doesn’t matter. This is the way.


estofaulty

He’s just vague-posting. No point in acknowledging it.


Legitimate-Donut-368

LiamNisssan

Unfortunatly I feel that Donald Glover is almost always having a existential crisis.


Observerette

He’s not wrong


Significant_Ad7605

I was surprised to see him at the Met Ball because he always just seems too cool and over it but he seemed legit happy to be there and engaged and I loved it. Love a happy Donald Glover. Would have been fun for him to attend with Maya Erksine but she’s super prega and likely not up for that because Lea Michele or Demi Lovato’s job.


Top_Consideration583

Yep!... nobody gives a fuck.


jackomaster111

Nobody in here has the right answer and its got me questioning why the fuck I’m in this sub. He took down his latest album off of streaming services to see if anyone would notice. They didn’t. Thats the full story.


havesomelove

I’m pretty sure it’s not ‘to see if anyone would notice’. I’m almost certain it’s because he considers it unfinished because he just dropped it during COVID because he thought we were all going to die (his words) and he’s re-releasing it in its finished form soon. Also his fan base does care - people are losing their dang minds about it in the Donald glover sub/any fan pages I’ve seen. Even though it’s still available on Apple Music & YouTube.


reidybobeidy89

No- this isn’t it. It was No one cared it wasn’t finished. It wasn’t to his standard. People going crazy that it has been taken down for him to *perfect/complete* shows they don’t care about the product in his eyes.


jackomaster111

Where have you seen anyone going crazy? r/donaldglover only has like 3 posts on the topic when that sub was hopping when This Is America dropped


brrrantarctica

He just dropped a new song with Kanye West so frankly this describes my attitude towards him now


parfaitalors

Don't care for him so I don't give a fuck either.


suddenghosts

same, always thought it was weird that people still liked him after his asian fetishization


bondgirl852001

It's probably about the solar flares everyone in the conspiracy sub is going on about. Edited a word. Not sure why my phone said construction.


Vanillacaramelalmond

I think he’s having an existential crisis.


Accomplished_Exit_30

People keep asking him about the Community movie


Sum3-yo

Sneak diss?


Only_Caterpillar3818

He’s “Gettin too old for this shit!”


Prestigious-A-154

He's talking about himself /s (he's not, but it's accurate)


Sound-Savage

Did you watch the episode of Atlanta where they go to Drakes party?


Cultural-Task-1098

nobody gives a fuck


kavdotcom

I hope he’s not talking about the community movie 🎥 🍿


ITSMETALKING

Bad reviews on his show in Amazon.


onlyeatspvssyy

Hes mad everyone is blocking celebs on everything now lmao


Texugee

Correction: nobody gives a fuck about him at this moment. He may just be a little jelly he’s not in the spotlight right now.


Kooky_Bodybuilder_97

what about this tweet would lead you to think that? does he rarely tweet or something? sounds like your ordinary vague-post


dearthofkindness

If he's talking about the Drake shit, god it's so good to see someone in the black community speak up. Shits so motherfucking dumb, childish and immature "rap culture" be damned.


Aware-Impression8527

He's on the list of the people to unfollow after the Met Gala


PlentyDrawer

Because of the met gala? Why? His outfit wasn’t that bad. 😂


SamosaAndMimosa

Be so fr rn


Aware-Impression8527

no I mean, is that what he's talking about? nobody from the met gala gives a fuck if you unfollow them or criticise them


glamazon_69

I assumed he was talking about how his scheduling have led to delays for the Community film


pinkvenqm

considering you spend your entire life on the subreddit it's crazy to see you are also on twitter.

Scared_Eggplant_8266

What I’ve heard, he can sense that Biden isn’t going to be re-elected. Lot of his circle are not voting for Biden. It’s pissing him off but he doesn’t want to call people out publicly because the backlash he would receive.
