Students lose their damn minds over Donald Glover's surprise performance of 'This Is America'
Chance the Rapper brought out Donald Glover as a surprise guest at his latest Open Mike event in Chicago, and it went off.
Glover, aka Childish Gambino, performed his politically charged single "This Is America" at the Cindy Pritzker Auditorium on Monday for a crowd of high schoolers, who understandably lost their damn minds.
Chance doesn't have to introduce Glover, instead he just lets those unmistakeable first "yeah-yeah-yeah-yeahs" from the single rain over an inconsolable high school crowd, many of whom are graduating seniors from the area.

Glover was appearing as part of the 30th instalment of Chance's monthly Open Mike night, a youth event presented by his charity SocialWorks and the Chicago Public Library, and named for Chance's mentor, Chicago poet and activist Mike Hawkins.
What a graduation present, huh?
