#4: the best work of art in 2018 (any medium)

There's not much for me to add about Childish Gambino's This Is America that hasn't been covered in a bajillion think pieces from last year.

I'm going to make a broad generalization here: music videos with political messages usually aren't very good, either at effectively delivering their message, or as art. There simply hasn't been anything like this before last year. (If you disagree, let me know in the comments.)

I could be wrong but I think Donald Glover can fly, transmute lead into gold, and resolve the debates about the Oxford comma.

Sorry, if you wanted disagreement I won't offer any.

That's better than the Twisted Sister one I had in mind.
