If only this wasnt censored coz this performance is fucking raw af!

[@NetSraC1306]

He censors like half of the song lmao This dude is absolutely awesome, wish i could see him live someday

[@gtrfreak]

It’s not censored, childish lip syncs the words …watch the video again (dude is talented as fucking shit)

[@rickymcn1]

It's weird that the word "crack" is more offense than "ass"

[@rickymcn1]

@@gtrfreak Wither or not he's lip syncing has absolutely no bearing on what words aren't allowed to be broadcast on television.

Engage. 🖖

[@sofiagardel5552]

dude. idk if y'all feel this too but like. just IMAGINE. this being the first thing u hear of childish gambino after only knowing TROY. i would be..... shook

[@name3236]

My dad said the first time he heard Gambino was when he featured on a Chance song. He said he was confused why Troy was saying the N word

[@Zahoreoz]

I can barely censor this myself, I can’t imagine how he did it

[@nyxisrealtired]

The best part is he struggles so hard to censor himself

[@RandolphDuk]

It sounds like hes just doing it manually himself

[@mrtyrone1107]

One of the most underrated hip hop tracks ever. This shit should have been huge

[@maudlinfaust]

I discovered this track just yesterday - my only real connection with Gambino is Redbone, didn't fuck with 3005 and Sweatpants so just assumed his stuff mostly wasn't for me. I had no idea he could do this as well, this is hard as fuck. If this came out in the reactor "Kendrick/Tyler dropped" era, this would have gone crazy

[@Splerpsy]

I love how he censors curse words but the Casey Anthony bar stays. That bar is nuts, I'm just surprised that was on live tv.

[@Casualtitan08]

One of the rawest lines in recent hip hop in my opinion

[@t0xy74]

love how he censores himself

[@larsneedsjesus]

im pretty sure they censored him

[@DarthInsomnious]

@@larsneedsjesus no. Most artists censor themselves live. It's required

[@juanpablovc3387]

@@DarthInsomnious he said fuck a couple of times but he seems like he was trying to censor himself

[@mortenkittelsen1993]

Hated it!

[@bobbyrudasill4797]

Both. Some words he censored himself. Others, the 7 second delay censored him.

[@Sent4Good]

"I made the beat and murdered it, Casey Anthony" has GOT to be one of the hardest lines of all time

[@jeremycamachojc4000]

Play the video because I wanted to see how the lyrics were censored but it's hilarious to see how Donald censures himself

[@divelostmind]

the childish gambino legacy will always be legendary.

[@Chill_330]

This was absolutely so ICONIC and I just found this out sadly 😭

[@snowfoal]

he's so hype jeez it's incredible

[@laufmin]

And 10 years later...whoa

[@danestohe315]

cool. cool cool cool

[@joelneo1606]

Dane Stohe damn community was the best and Troy and abed relationship was probably the best the show had.

[@danestohe315]

@@joelneo1606 Absolutely correct sir

[@javigd96]

This is like the worst song ever to censor wtf. But it makes it dumb funny, I think that was the intention

[@divelostmind]

why does this go so hard

[@patty890]

Honestly even for being pretty well censored it still was really good, and the censorship didn’t mess it up too hard

[@gooadify]

It’s such a shame it is censored such a good live version otherwise

[@loserscorner6746]

one of THOSE live performances. up there with the 1988 of Hey by the Pixies, or the MTV version of Man Who Sold The World by Cobain or aha's 2017 Take on Me.

[@maulanahabibullah4845]

Auto cencor *SWICTH* ON

ty for this

[@clairegillies9655]

when he points to ludwig :')

[@mariii5175]

💕❤️😂 The censorship

[@brandonharper8309]

Ludwig Goransson on guitar.

[@blondhairdon]

3:11 why he look like that

[@bxbymoon]

RAW

[@dylnn40]

So we only get half the song in this video then

[@ambar.nicole]

I learned the whole beginning -

[@hdmat101]

So "coke" , "bitch", "ass" and "sodomy" isn't censored??!?

[@danielc4071]

Jimmy Fallon show is rated tv-14 I believe so it’s allowed. If he were performing on good morning America, it’d likely be different lol.

[@ArchieHasAntlers]

Not gonna lie, I didn't like Bonfire's beat at all until I saw this performance and it finally clicked.

[@snowfoal]

i wish i was violin player

[@raguram9343]

That guitar guy to his right has Oscars and Grammy's

[@JamesSadat]

His performance of Redbone was very different compared to this...

[@Janemba126]

1:51 your censor slipped m8

[@bryanfrye8770]

You can say kiss my ass in America though

[@Poopfarten12]

yeah you can say ass bitch bastard and damn on TV14 shows in america but you can't say asshole or asscrack

[@javigd96]

2:19 they censor the "that" instead of the "fuck". And at the end he does say "bitch"

[@bigkira6932]

don't say the n word challenge

[@hdmat101]

Why is he wearing a Santa hat in November 🤦‍♀️

[@jillkrause1151]
