Is that the dude from Community?

4/23/2011 10:48:10 AM

Yeah

Good beat and he has some good lines but something about his delivery is a bit spastic for me

4/23/2011 10:50:22 AM

writer/actor/producer/rapper/stand-up comedian

By the way, when he says "Nigga can't you tell that my sample of Adele was so hot I had these hood niggas blowin up my cell"

SIR IT APPEARS YOU HAVE REJECTED MY PROPOSAL TO TAKE OUR LONG RUNNING TWW AND AIM FRIENDSHIP TO THE NEXT LEVEL. IT'S FINE THOUGH BECAUSE BY SOME FACEBOOK NETWORK LOGIC I AM STILL ABLE TO RECEIVE YOUR INSIDER HIPHOP POSTS ON MY NEWS FEED.

4/23/2011 7:52:24 PM

see the funny thing is that my girlfriend would probably really dig this dude, she likes drake and weezy and i think he falls in between them

but, assuming she hasn't heard of him, she won't like him now because i found out about him before she did and she thinks i'm a big metal dork

which i am, of course

funny though

4/23/2011 8:34:39 PM

I, too, thought this was about the show. Lindsay were hot.

4/23/2011 8:41:26 PM

Community has been ridiculously good, so was 30 rock, his stand-up is hilarious - and now he's getting a good following behind Childish Gambino. He's definitely on his game.

4/23/2011 9:04:20 PM

next week terpball will start talkin about OFWGKTA as if he just discovered them

4/23/2011 9:12:33 PM

And you'll still be trying to nail down the whole "funny" thing on the internet.

4/23/2011 9:18:30 PM

4/23/2011 9:19:11 PM

damn that stage production of edward scissorhands

he is doing a tour where he comes out and does stand up and then comes out rapping. Or maybe the other way around.

pretty cool idea, opening for yourself.

4/24/2011 11:48:32 AM

Definitely like this song. His Childish Gambino EP (5 or 6 songs) is pretty good.

lolololololololol

4/24/2011 1:19:38 PM

He's no Kool Keith. Not even close.

4/24/2011 1:31:23 PM

bttt

He'll be at Black Cat in DC May 8th. Tickets sold out. Now I have to exploit friendships in order to get in.

4/28/2011 11:55:06 AM

best part: he got his name from a Wu-Tang name generator

Also, check out the Culdesac LP. I've been listening to waaay too much of his stuff lately

4/28/2011 12:19:57 PM

IS HE THE NEW FRESH PRINCE?? DOES THAT MAKE ABED JAZZ?

4/28/2011 12:29:48 PM

Haha Fresh Prince

"I go hard in the paint, like I fuck her on her period"

Will Smith can't do that!

4/28/2011 12:39:09 PM

Just what the world needed. Another rapper telling us he's the best at everything for 4 minutes.

A+++ Would listen again.

5/19/2011 8:13:07 PM

Nah

8/15/2013 9:23:02 PM

Hey, new album came out. It's brilliant.

12/11/2013 10:47:59 AM

that's funny, because everything I've read about it says it's the opposite

12/11/2013 11:12:53 AM

Quote :

"Need proof? Let’s start with the Pitchfork review of Camp, his debut record. Giving a pathetic 1.6, Ian Cohen knocked it hard, writing that “Glover isn’t strictly a comedy rapper, but he flows like a comic actor: When he’s trying to be playful, his voice hitches in a pubescent squeak, and when he “goes in,” he’s still delivering one room-clearing punchline after another with earnestness of the most confused Rhymesayers guy ever.” Despite the review being pretty accurate (Camp is by no means a good album), it created a go-to set of opinions for every hip kid who reads Pitchfork, and from then on, everything Childish Gambino produced automatically had the reputation of sucking. Earlier this fall, Glover addressed this—and the fact that he knew that Camp wasn’t very good—in his interview with Noisey. “Pitchfork helped me a lot,” he told Slava Pastuk. “There’s no way I can make something worse than that. It would be impossible. But I’m not worried about them because they’re a brand, and I didn’t fit their brand. If I worked for Pitchfork, I wouldn’t give myself a 9.0 either. They’re a brand; they sell tickets to a show they put on every year. They’re not going to give a 1.6 to someone who can be at their show and sell tickets.”"

I didn't like it on my first listen, but after a few plays I appreciate it. Now I think it's brilliant.

12/11/2013 12:14:41 PM

^^ have read nothing about it on Pitchfork, dawg

I'm a big fan of Vice, but they try a little too hard to play devils advocate at times

12/11/2013 12:18:15 PM

I gave it a quick listen yesterday, nothing really jumped out at me. I'll give it another listen before the end of the week

and FWIW, I liked Camp. Bonfire is still getting play fairly regularly

12/11/2013 12:18:34 PM

I love Camp and because the internet, but I have never heard of Pitchfork. (I also like his mixtapes and like the the flux pavilion and leona lewis tracks he is featured on)

12/11/2013 12:20:20 PM

I'm going to cross-reference Pitchfork scores with Pitchfork Fest participants.

Give me an hour.

(My initial hope was the Andrew WK had played a Pitchfork Fest, because they gave I Get Wet a 0.6. Alas.)

12/11/2013 12:39:13 PM

yeah, his theory is a pretty goddamn stupid one

12/11/2013 12:52:51 PM

Yeah, what kind of idiot would propose a theory that a brand would want to promote their sales? Fucking stupid.

12/11/2013 1:08:30 PM

they curate a music festival filled with artists from different genres of music, all of which get their stamp of approval

he is saying that the only reason they gave him a bad review is because they think he wouldn't be able to sell any tickets, which is ridiculous considering how many artists play their festival

there is no agenda if the album just isn't very good

and there was definitely buzz surrounding him, because of his background. so wouldn't you think they would try and use that buzz to their advantage if he was worth it?

[Edited on December 11, 2013 at 1:22 PM. Reason : meh]

12/11/2013 1:20:54 PM

How did Pitchfork score Yeezus?

12/11/2013 1:30:06 PM

Do you even have to ask?

First, that's not really what he said

Second, I am not saying he's right, but the comment that the theory is "goddamn stupid," is stupid. The theory actually makes good sense.
