Mr Judas 4,106 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 “I went to school with white people who had less talent than me—because I’m talented as ****—and they’re doing waybetter than me. I went to N.Y.U. with Lady Gaga.” There was a burst of laughter and applause from the den. “Now, CBS ran Grammys ads this week, and I’m one of the hotter acts, and they had a visual of the performers on the show: Lady Gaga, Pink, and me. Only they showed some black kid from a fan video—it’s not even me. I was, like, **** this, **** them, I’m not going to do the show!” After a moment, he added, quietly, “The sad thing is I’m going to do it, because black people don’t get that chance very often.” https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/03/05/donald-glover-cant-save-you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PopMonstre 628 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I mean, it's true that black artists do get fewer chances but why'd he have to shade Gaga like that? Show some respect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Gibson 3,489 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I understand his anger of not giving black people the same treatment and giving less talented white people the spotlight. But unfortunately he picked the wrong one as an example because our girl Gags is "talented as ****" as he would say Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankenztein 1,172 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Donald Glover is very talented, but I'll never understand why people feel the need to drag others to up themselves in comparison. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
derpmonster 22,412 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Wow. I wish people would stop hating on Gaga without giving her a chance. Some people just equate mainstream with bad. And the person may have a point but using Gaga as a scapegoat was wrong because she literally IS talented, probably more than him. Doesn't help his case that he doesn't research people he speaks about. Check out iTunes data & graphs at CHARTPOP.live Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipthistea 21,099 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 “I went to school with white people who had less talent than me—because I’m talented as ****—and they’re doing waybetter than me. I went to N.Y.U. with Lady Gaga.” Pretentious much? He reminds me of Kanye quite honestly. You can be f*ckin' talented or whatever, but don't dismiss other people who have worked their arse off to get where they are. That's disrespectful. And this type of comments show why you're not that popular or acknowledged. When you behave poorly towards others, it gets back to you. And Gaga is very talented, so you can shut up.

zakariah 11,718 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 There was no reason whatsoever for him to shade/drag anyone really. If you wanna talk about racial issues then stick with that, don’t pull another artist in, especially one who has been so vocal about BLM & who is also white.

Pretentiousness aside, this is a valid point. Black artists get less exposure than white artists. 7 minutes ago, vrajesh said: I went to N.Y.U. with Lady Gaga.” YOU KNOW WHAT F*CK YOU Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
