Childish Gambino - Shadows (Arsenio Hall Show)

All rights go to Donald Glover and Arsenio Hall Show

[@beowulf5419]

Gambino had *one* outfit throughout 2014.

[@markymark9378]

Beowulf one outfit with variations of the poofy hat, cardigan, poofy coat

[@fool-ish-ness]

It was the outfit of his character ‘The Boy’ which was what because the internet and the screenplay were about

[@AnAbsurdExistence]

Gambino? I think you mean the boy.

[@coolerrocket]

@SteveyMamba god I love that meta shit

[@TheBix101]

He was actually doing a performance art thing of his character from Because The Internet in every public appearance from this period of time. If you haven't heard about it before, look up the screenplay and read it and listen to the album at the same time and the whole album will instantly become your favorite. This man's talent is fucking endless. Also watch Atlanta on FX

[@theafrospacecowboy]

Never thought I would see Childish Gambino performing with Thundercat. That's some dope shit!! \o/

[@rope209]

+Hugo Arruda dos Santos thundercat is on the track (studio version)

[@johnblack7737]

Hugo Arruda dos Santos YOU DAMN RIGHT KICK ASS COMBO

[@bagofnickels7225]

Hugo Arruda dos Santos now they got a song together

[@theafrospacecowboy]

@@bagofnickels7225 "Black Qualls". Even tho I luv the single version, the album version with Mr. Glover is awesome as well!

[@Shaneoutlaw7]

He always looks like he just woke up

[@4est82]

That's the persona he made for himself

[@aderye4904]

yeah hes playing a character, both times ive hung out with him he was nothing like how he is on tv or interviews lol he literally told me it was a character

[@KhalifaIV]

+Adé rye really? can you talk more about what he said?

[@SecretofDarkness115]

+KhalifaIV well just look at his interviews for the Martian, it's really different. I think that since he's popularity as the rapper Childish Gambino grew he created a "character" to match that in real life.

[@aderye4904]

KhalifaIV He was super nice and genuine, I also met his parents who were super proud of him which was really funny to see but I asked about why stn mtn was not as good lyrically and he basically said that he made it hella quick just for fans and people who just wanted new stuff and that it was more playing around.

[@whheerr1955]

Tuesday afternoon, I ain't got shit to do, but fall in love with u. One of the simplest most beautiful lines ever to me

[@ebsii9031]

😂😂😂

[@harrisonedwards9075]

HE WENT FROM CROSS LEGGED SITTING ON A SOFA TO PLAYING W/ A WHOLE BAND

[@idkcutno7276]

+Roman Mendez if you watch old rare vids he'd usually just be preforming songs while sitting on the sofa with Ludwig

[@elcianner]

Gambino always starts off a live performance a little awkwardly but ends it like the massive talent he is

[@Upgrade2344]

1:21 When Arsenio first witnesses that Thundercat wizardry.

[@mattyboy141]

yeah but that bassist is dope af - "6 string, yes my brother"

[@xRyuBu]

High as a kite, and still a legendary performance.

[@AluminumMusic]

Thundercat wrote this song. Source: he tweeted it today.

[@morcmarcus2183]

Nah he couldn't have, this is part of the alien theory

[@rayneozier]

This is the definitive version of this song imo. The album version is cool. But you can really feel the feels bro is singing with towards the end of this live performance. That high note?! 💯

[@berkgod926]

thundercat reminds me of spongbob when he was performing goofy goober rock in the spongebob movie lol

[@jawuanhart8540]

Childish x Thundercat album collaboration needs to happen

[@naruparagreendbz1]

He wrote it lmao

[@jawuanhart8540]

@@naruparagreendbz1 I know but I'm talking about a full scale album 😂

[@bagofnickels7225]

Jawuan Hart well you’re in luck

[@samarthtaneja3534]

Well Thundercat put him on Black Qualls so you’re in luck

[@davetezil2687]

@Mini-Kane Carl what was it?

[@OriginaBroski97]

"High as fuck, on Arsenio"

[@thebigearedbandit]

Arsenio looks like he cant believe how talented gambino is

[@FRTNK]

3:21 my ears have just exploded because they couldn't handle such a beautiful note

[@paste5502]

Thundercats looks like his power level is high as fuck

[@vivcwg]

That was powerful.

[@b.l.o.o.d.m.o.s.e.s.]

THUNDERCAT PREFORMED ON THIS SONG!? HOLY SHIT

[@CIII328]

Gambino’s smooth as vocals and Thundercat’s watery ass bass... that shit should be illegal

[@Trip8201]

Gambino is the best in overall talent. S/o to that beast Thundercat #ThundercatHOOOOOOO

[@wack8916]

[@Leonel-kr6vy]

3:20 😨😨😨😱😱😍😍😍😳😲😍😍😍THAT NOTE

[@aderye4904]

[@mattyboy141]

he harmonized with the recording - not off at all it's hell hard to replicate

[@SamwiseGanja03]

Adé rye wasn't off at all

[@sirponydanglynuts7459]

“Ima get my platinum back like I’m a half-ton gorilla” …. still think some people don’t understand how hard this line is

[@skatinwhenican]

Because The Internet is Forever.

[@barrybarry6570]

thanks for the upload btw. I love this ver. but they took it down after the album dropped =T

[@a.soraparu773]

***** I thought it was becasue the Arsenio Hall Show got cancelled. Which sucks cuz they had dope performances.

[@2Maq]

That outro always gets me

[@juliankluft5557]

One of my favorite song of mr. glover.

[@stephaintdeadyet]

[@serginebelance9478]

[@krisphase8207]

Man my dress like he's at home but he really killed this shit tho.

[@FSMusicLTD]

I need to see a whole colab album with Donald Glover and Thundercat

[@a.neemanessar4952]

Yo it's so apparent how uneasy Arsenio was for bino considering he was sitting criss cross apple sauce and when he actually started speaking his words, Arsenio was fucking with it heavy

[@anh9000]

this man too talented #blessed

[@blueazure9658]

Ah. Thundercat was always the backbone of this song. Personally, one of my favorites ever from Donald. I’m silly. Thundercat is also the best

[@Ilovejojosbizzar]

Thundercat looks fly af

[@hahajenkins]

Gambino and Thundercat dawg are you fucking serious I can’t believe this happened that long ago

[@Ahmalik_Yaaz]

There's added instrumentation, way more drums more bass

[@vincepat2884]

It wasn’t him singing it was just the beat cuz u can’t redo instruments and sounds like that easily
