Childish Gambino‘s ‘This is America’ has proven itself the gift that keeps on giving.
In addition to becoming the rapper’s first and sole #1 hit on the Hot 100, tonight the tune was penned in history books by becoming the first rap song in history to nab both ‘Song of the Year’ and ‘Record of the Year’ honors at one ceremony.
Details inside:
Entering the night with 5 nominations, Gambino walked away with 4 honors: Song of the Year, Record of the Year, Music Video of the Year, and Best Rap/Sung performance.
F*** John Mayer. Racist crack*er
Congrats to CG. WELL DESERVED
Sad he wasn’t there.
because he’s a “safe” black rapper. the visual deserved acknowledgement BUT CERTAINLY NOT the song itself. very p*** poor, political decision.

Absolutely deserved! This song truly represented where our collective minds (the ones who care about humanity) were at in 2018 with Trump and the nonsense and chaos of it all…not just America, but the WORLD…everyone was talking about this song and visual…it debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100…he should develop an album that houses the song…bold and powerful just like the best of hip-hop! Congrats to this talented brotha! ?
Absolute yes for that but the song won´t be remembered in some decades, like it used to happen with Record of the Year winners. Mainstream has gone downhill so that´s not really to be expected anymore.
A lot of folks didn’t realize the messages inside the track. I say Congrats surely his white wife is apart of his journey..??♂️
I understand the message in this song i just can’t stand to listen to it
