Childish Gambino

Still not as ridiculous as that Drake picture thread.

that is what is blowing my mind

he's really hot and he's funny on community but he sux at rapping.

and with one picture i immediately love him

The only rap-related albums I noticed in Paste website's recently released list of their fave 2011 albums:

35. Childish Gambino – Camp

48. Drake – Take Care

http://stereogum.com/890842/pastes-top-50-albums-of-2011/list/

Funny stuff. Those pasty folks love their Bon Iver more of course.

I'm not going to go to bat for Glover because let's face it, a large amount (if not all) of his rap persona is tied up in being as corny as humanly possible. I really like the "Bonfire" video, though.

I just remembered that his record features an ILM baiting line, "the only black guy at a Sufjan concert".

So tempted to liveblog this record, "my name's not Mumford, I ain't trying to have sons".

DO IT

"my name's not Mumford, I ain't trying to have sons"

Hmm. Ready the guillotine.

bon iver bangs harder than drake or gambino

this guy is complete horseshit

hi m@tt!!

dude is terrible, yes, and I am starting to regret impulse-buying his album in a fit of contrarianism... but he's still less annoying to me than Drake

I think the worst of both worlds is that two minute interlude thing on Camp where Glover does his best to channel Drake by singing over a string section while whining.

Love him on Community, listened to this once and couldn't get through it. First couple of tracks were alright but really I lost interest when I realised he wasn't attempting to be the new Will Smith.

hey hoos :)

I love the dude on Community and find his stand-up to be decent, but please lord do not cancel his show so he has more time for this.

My sentiments exactly. I really love him on Community so I wanted to like this, but it is just bad.

he's really hot and he's funny on community but he sux at rapping.

Plus, he has all of the rape-y punchlines of Tyler, the Creator, except more obnoxious. Taking shots at some girl on Tumblr who called your use of rape jokes rape-y is NAGL.

^^ that's...disappointing to hear about

"that well-spoken token"

he's really really terrible but if there isn't already there's gonna be an infinite feedback loop of PEOPLE SAY I'M TERRIBLE, I'M GONNA RAP ABOUT IT -> man, this guy is fucking terrible -> PEOPLE SAY I'M TERRIBLE, I'M GONNA RAP ABOUT IT

i think the solution here is for everyone to stop watching/caring about COMMUNITY. i'm sorry, but it has to be done for the greater good of the nation.

wait he has a 75 on metacritic, he should stfu

if xxl says this about you -- Taken on the whole, Camp is full of top-tier lyricism, honesty, uncertainty and triumph. -- then you no longer get to complain about people telling you not to rap because you're a nerd or w/e

it's weird to me that for being a comedian, his music is incredibly humorless. like, i'm not saying he needs to be doing weird al shit, but his self-crucifixion complex is so off-putting. like, his music isn't even as funny as das racist, let alone, like, ludacris (at least when he was good)

is Childish Gambino the dumbest name for an mc yet

btw if u guys didn't know--he got "childish gambino" from an internet wu tang name generator

First couple of tracks were alright but really I lost interest when I realised he wasn't attempting to be the new Will Smith.

Will Smith don't gotta tumbl to sell records
Well I do
So fuck you and fuck your mouth too

he's really really terrible but if there isn't already there's gonna be an infinite feedback loop of PEOPLE SAY I'M TERRIBLE, I'M GONNA RAP ABOUT IT -> man, this guy is fucking terrible -> PEOPLE SAY I'M TERRIBLE, I'M GONNA RAP ABOUT IT

have you noticed how every 5 star grammy-winning kanye west album is full of constant references to how people dare criticize him and try to stop his greatness?

i used to call childish gambino the new 'eddie murphy's music career' but on the real this shit isn't even as good as "party all the time"

at least kanye has been publicly vilified twice by people that like watch the view

"my name's not Mumford, I ain't trying to have sons"

Hmm. Ready the guillotine.

rip big pooh, heaven needed to wikipedia little brother every now and again to see what happened

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapper_Big_Pooh

wld have been terrific for the jimmy wales meme fyi

it's the having to put "Rapper" in front of the name that really makes it awful imo

late nite momofuku grab the last pork bun and done we won

i can get w this

haha well i mean

maybe they're not saying "he's better than Apathy" but I do hear a lot of "wow, I don't even LIKE rap and I LOVE Childish Gambino"...

xxp c'mon in that case it would be all ridiculous seinfeldian "can you believe the crazy micro beer bullshit we've all been drinking recently?" instead of the "fuck u harlequin craft beer smoking fan fic bronie writing challenger spaceship cowboy riding assholes"

in Florida people refer to craft beer as "shit that don't taste good". oh well, more for me then...

Seattle =/ New York

I was specifically talking about the northwest as opposed to the rest of the country, holmes.

idk what we're talking about now

we're all about craft beers up here.

I'm saying that in the northwest drinking micros became a widespread, non-hipstery thing like 20 years ago, at least.

my friend makes his own in his garage. true story.

xpost~!

And that people here don't use the phrase "craft beers".

My dad wants to make his own beer btw.

he should - it's fun!

can't believe i'm missing this show for reals u_u

"this show isn't for neckbeard twee losers, i just went to the onion av club an—http://i.imgur.com/VO6zw.png

whiney don't you actually have a neckbeard?

Nope, I shave that shit

I have a beard beard

whiney's just an old hairy dude, you can't hold any neck hair against him imo

so do you shave directly under your chin

no, there's actually a jaw that happens between the chin and the neck!

thanks subway

I'm just saying I've never heard anyone in the NW ever use the phrase "craft beer".

And I haven't heard anyone say "microbrew" in years.

Seems v. 90s.

I heard someone say microbrew on Saturday.

Note: I am not living in the 90s.

i have never heard 'craft beer' in conversation ever, have not heard 'microbrew' much but then i don't really want to live in a world where people talk about what they're drinking beyond a "what'll you have?" or "i have some ____ in the fridge if you want any"

tumblr brew

yeah i haven't heard 'microbrew' in years. now i think most ppl just refer to beer by its name (ala "i have some ___ in the fridge"). honestly with the ppl i hang out with, the term i hear most is 'good beer' or 'decent beer.' like, "i'll get a case of pbr but you might want to get a sixer of something decent, too." esp since now you can get stuff that's like maybe $1-2 more a six-pack than PBR, miles better, and available at the gas station (if you live in some enlightened state where beer can be purchased in gas stations).

i think too if you live some place with a lot of local breweries then the novelty of drinking something other than bud or pbr has long since evaporated and ppl just get w/e they like or is on special

such a good derail. anyways - i think once people get into a local microbrew (people still say that up here) the tendency is to stick with it, or failing that something equally snobby/expensive.

Well, all kinds of people like good beer; only certain kind nerd out about it

"Craft beer" seems p. widespread to me, from restaurant menus to local media features.

In conversation, though, I think I mostly say it when I'm referring to a bar or restaurant, like "They have a decent craft selection." (Though I might also just say, "They have a good beer list.")

turdy nerd shit, huh? now fulla rapeyness!
