In 2006, the Beastie Boys released Awesome; I Fuckin' Shot That! It was a concert film with a pretty ingenious premise: the group passed around 50 cameras to folks in the audience. The majority of the footage in the documentary is from those cameras.
The sold-out concert took place on October 9th, 2004 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. One person who was in attendance: Donald Glover.

A user on Reddit noticed that there is a short cameo of a young Donald Glover; he is going crazy, rapping along to "Three MC's and One DJ." He posted the clip of the documentary and wrote:

It's not confirmed...but it seems to be him:

If it's Glover (and we're like 90 percent sure it's him) he would have been 21 and a student at New York University. .
