Childish Gambino

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

i go hard in the paint like i'm fucking on her menstrual

i'm a bit ashamed to say i knew this line from memory, this guy gets a lot of play in the chilli household

Delightful.

broken link

err

http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/16074-camp/

pullin no punches

all i want to do anymore is write fake childish gambino songs

who teh fuck cares

i care

that last paragraph is fire

ts: childish gambino v. mickey avalon

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

(who is a German Drake impersonator)

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.

ty for this joke

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.

the first line of that review is fire

"hashtag rap's tombstone"
man, i hope so

u guys know you can set DNs?

I do now.

i kinda wanted to give that review a standing ovation at my desk

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

http://topics.nytimes.com/topics/news/international/countriesandterritories/china/tiananmen-square/index.html

he's gotten good reviews and sold big numbers for someone on an indie label?

lol n/a, I thought for sure you were linking a negative review that was using Tiananmen Square as an analogy

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.

i guess, i don't know. he just sold 50,000 albums in one week, so some people like his music.

eh, I bought one of those copies and I don't really like his music

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.

DJ Quik sells 15k and this guy sells 50k :(

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

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.

I bought because my wife asked me to when she saw it was out, she hates it more than I do.

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

also i will stubbornly and steadfastly insist that no one likes his music, despite any and all evidence to the contrary

^^ secretly likes childish gambino

Now if dude who plays Abed had a 'comedy' 'record', I'd happily throw him some bones. Childish Shitbino is gonna be fine.

dude has a niche ready to fall back on

OH NOES

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?

theoretically saying. of course.
