Now I actually want to hear his Pitchfork retorts because you just fuckin' know this guy's been waiting for them to review his shit for months.

i've never heard this guy's music or watched that show but the likelihood of me doing either after reading that review is now close to zero. a textbook hardsonning.

That review is really OTM
I would still rather listen to this than Dranke

To be fair, his work on Community would give you absolutely no clue that he is also a terrible, rape-y rapper. I wouldn't condemn the show for his shitty vanity project.

If we were out of sandbox, "Dranke, the German Drake Impersonator" would be my DN right now.
Not to start this conversation yet again, but Community is pretty dire as well.

finally, someone has the courage to stand up to the overwhelming musical force that is childish gambino.

he's gotten good reviews and sold big numbers for someone on an indie label?
― v-shasty, Friday, 2 December 2011 17:31 (twelve years ago) link
lol n/a, I thought for sure you were linking a negative review that was using Tiananmen Square as an analogy
― OH NOES, Friday, 2 December 2011 17:32 (twelve years ago) link
the review was funny but dude is an "actor/rapper" with a stupid name that people have been mocking since he turned into a rapper. no one really likes his music. it's like zinging dr. morbius, it's kinda fun but too easy to be satisfying.
― n/a, Friday, 2 December 2011 17:37 (twelve years ago) link
i guess, i don't know. he just sold 50,000 albums in one week, so some people like his music.
― v-shasty, Friday, 2 December 2011 17:54 (twelve years ago) link
eh, I bought one of those copies and I don't really like his music
― OH NOES, Friday, 2 December 2011 17:55 (twelve years ago) link
I'd honestly love to see the breakdown of that 50k in terms of how many people had been following his stuff via blogs and how many bought it because "oh, dude from Community. I'd hazard about 20% the former, 80% the latter.
― I left my login in El Sandboxo, Friday, 2 December 2011 17:56 (twelve years ago) link
DJ Quik sells 15k and this guy sells 50k :(
― Shakey Mo Collier, Friday, 2 December 2011 17:58 (twelve years ago) link
tbh I bought it, not because I expected to like it, but because I figured Community was getting cancelled after this year and I wanted to throw dude some royalties
― OH NOES, Friday, 2 December 2011 17:58 (twelve years ago) link
basically n/a's point (if he actually has one) is that the review while, funny, was pointless because nobody actually cares about childish gambino or thinks that his music is good. i think there is ample evidence that both of those things are untrue.
― v-shasty, Friday, 2 December 2011 17:58 (twelve years ago) link
I bought because my wife asked me to when she saw it was out, she hates it more than I do.
― I left my login in El Sandboxo, Friday, 2 December 2011 18:00 (twelve years ago) link
i don't have much of a point aside from the album's an easy target so pitchfork's zingy review doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me
― n/a, Friday, 2 December 2011 18:02 (twelve years ago) link
also i will stubbornly and steadfastly insist that no one likes his music, despite any and all evidence to the contrary

yo so like if someone - a friend of mine - liked this album kinda, this would definitely not be the thread to cop to that, right?

i do wanna contribute for real tho that we were watching his recent comedy central performance and it was very poor. some of the material was funny, and we laughed a couple times. but this guy wrote on one of the tightest, funniest sitcoms of the last bunch of years, and is hilarious acting on Community, but just could not consistently put it together on the stage and maybe p4k is onto something that he's very insecure bc he really just seemed to lack confidence and experience in the standup. very nervous seeming.
― Mordy, Friday, 2 December 2011 20:27 (twelve years ago) link
i'm very interested in hearing the WTF he recorded recently
― Mordy, Friday, 2 December 2011 20:29 (twelve years ago) link
I guess we should be thankful that there was a whole writing staff on 30 Rock and not just him.
― I left my login in El Sandboxo, Friday, 2 December 2011 20:29 (twelve years ago) link
tbh I have a good amount of empathy for him when he expresses frustration with disconnect between his experiences in "black" and "white" America since I've felt a lot of those some emotions and frustrations and it's not really something you're going to understand unless you've gone through something similar, but when he starts talking about "eating Oreos like the white girls that be blowin' me" I have to tap out
― OH NOES, Friday, 2 December 2011 21:12 (twelve years ago) link
I haven't heard any of this dude's music, but the supposedly "terrible" lyrics that everyone is posting on this thread and in I.Co's P4k review seem kind of clever/funny IMO.
