Literally Every MAJOR Hip Hop Artist Features In Childish Gambino's 'Feels Like Summer' Video
Monday, September 3, 2018 - 14:41
By now, you'd be well aware that Childish Gambino LOVES a bit of symbolism.
Just take his unforgettable video for 'This Is America'...that was just one big, confronting metaphor.
...And his new video for 'Feels Like Summer' is no exception.
The animated film clip, designed by Justin Richburg, features Gambino walking down the street surrounded by all of his rap and RNB peers.
We're not kidding. There are cameos from *literally* every one of your fave artists - from 21 Savage, Migos and Chance The Rapper, to Azealia Banks, Nicki Minaj, Travis Scott, Drake, The Weeknd and Kanye West, and even a final appearance from Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson.

They each play a different role in the clip, and Gambino is clearly trying to make a statement in how they're portrayed.
...Here's are all the references we can spot (so far):
All The References In Childish Gambino's 'Feels Like Summer' Video
-
Lil Pump & Trippie Redd (depicted as little kids) want to hang out with 21 Savage & Metro Boomin' to no avail. Is this referencing older rappers looking down on the younger ones? -
After being rejected by 21 Savage & Metro Boomin, Lil Pump & Trippie Redd go to the home of Kodak Black, who can't come out and play. He's wearing an orange jumpsuit, referencing the fact he's currently serving time in jail. -
A$AP Rocky, Solange & Willow Smith are playing tug-o-war with The Weeknd, Ty Dolla $ign and Frank Ocean. Is this referencing them competing? -
Nicki Minaj & Travis Scott play blocks. As Nicki builds up her blocks, Travis knocks them down - obviously referencing their beef surrounding her recent album 'Queen' coming in at #2 behind Travis' 'Astroworld' -
Azealia Banks is featured sitting high up amongst the trees. She has since spoken out about her appearance, writing on IG: "You know how left out I feel sometimes." -
An isolated sequence shows Kid Cudi and Chris Brown upset or crying, as well as Kanye West being comforted by Michelle Obama while wearing a Trump 'MAGA' hat, capturing each artist's real life feelings of depression and loneliness. -
Beyonce also appears in this sequence, wearing an "R.I.P Fredo Santana" t-shirt - the 27-year-old Chicago rapper who died this year. -
In a reference to the racism and recent death of Florida-born rapper XXXTentacion, Florida governor Andrew Gillum is sat alongside chocolate (black) and vanilla (white) ice cream.
