Childish Gambino

Postby Eedee » Sep 6th, '13, 01:58

What's everyone's thoughts/opinions of him?

A friend of mine showed me his 2011 album, Camp, and fuuuuck me, I was blown away. The cinematic production, along with his passion for the art and his lyrics. I couldn't help but become an instant fan.

Best thing is, this got me searching more into him and I figured I'd watch Community, which now holds a dear place in my heart. But that's another discussion.

Anyway, I love Bino. Culdesac and Camp are fucking great. EP too. :y:

I love Donald Grover but honestly he is a pretty mediocre rapper. Don't get me wrong, I don't think he is trash but I don't bump his stuff very often.

Naw, he definitely is one of the corniest but he has lots of great tracks.

I do admit he has some corni-ness to his music but that's just part of his personality. He's a silly person. I think it's great he puts personality into his music. That's why a chunk of his music is serious, sad, uplifting, funny, etc. He puts his everything into his music. That's why I love him so much.

Dude's talented but I think he has to work harder on his music 'cuz he's distracted with acting & all that which distracts fans too.

He did just "leave" Community to focus on his music.

Lollll honestly when I put it on I wasn't even listening to it, it was just background music.

I'll try it again and listen to Royalty too.

Alright sounds good man. I feel like that album is pretty great, I love each song on there other than Fire Fly which I still think is pretty good.

Also the actress Tina Fey makes a guest appearance and drops a verse on Royalty haha.
