Did Donald Glover plagiarize "This is America"?

[It is a mystery]

gambino isnt a biter he's an atlanta writer for himself (ern) and others
when he raps this is america he's just bigging up the brothers

the contraband contraband contraband part was from a migos song too. gambino is showing he's in tune with the culture before he went to flex in space for starwars
Bino season isn't stopping because of a little miscommunication

Looking extra fishy

OG tracks bangs too

PAWG chasers and c00ns on here will overlook this and continue to let him be their Malcolm X

The song in the OP has a line in the first verse talking about the challenges of PAWGing while this is america does not:thinkingemoji:

 

[Sauce Dab]

what has the nikka who made the first song said? how you know Bino ain't break beard?

nikkas love dikkeating for another male boi...

He didn't break bread. He's not even mad. He just wants a shoutout

Possibly inspired but Glover flipped it a whole different way anyway, plus the song is just the background noise essentially. The video is the genius part.

this is america where we steal

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

A lot of these new blacks, are literally products of copying/stealing from parts of the internet that people weren't really visiting.

A lot of these artsy types, literally just stole shyt from tumblr and gave themselves an identity and kept up the act until they started to make money off it.

 

[KRiLL (+)]

We know you ain't talking negro

goofy nikkas love saying shyt with nothing to back it up...

 

[An ashy lil fap hand]

He needs to credit that dude...except if you see the above^^^

the dude isn't trying to get the credit. rights informally waived, publicly. both songs are dope. no problem.

not sure why anyone is surprised at him doing these "inspired" or "tribute" songs. Dude did a usher cover, lloyd, and others. nikka made a whole bootleg funkadelic album.

Whole situation looks like a benign version of "you made it a hot line, i made it a hot song".

You mean like the DJs and Rappers that started this genre of music called Hip Hop?

 

[Solomon Lurke]

I rock with Gambino heavy, but no doubt that this is the basis for “This Is America”. I’m sure old songs become new mainstream songs more than we realize but it’s always an interesting thing.

Bino should've broke bread...

this is basically Pac making "me & my girlfriend" after hearing Nas "I gave you power"
