We can’t have nice things. Just over a week after Childish Gambino gifted us with the stunning visual for “This is America”, someone has come along, stripped it of its core meaning and made it awful.

Nicole Arbour, who calls herself a comedian, remixed the track for a ‘Women’s Edit’. The “feminist” remake tackles subjects like beauty standards, the pay gap, rape, and “titties”. While the beauty of the original lay in its subtle references, this pound shop remake toes the line between being reductive and dismally banal.

The strangely soulless remake strips away everything that was good about Childish Gambino’s original. The body contortions harking back to the Jim Crow era, are gone. The viral dance moves distracting from the chaos of violence towards the black community have been swapped for arhythmic twerking, and for some reason, a tapdancing breakdown. His god-like flow is eradicated and replaced with a voice that can only be described as Iggy Azealia adjacent.
