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):
