paul barman is infinitely better than childish gambino
+1
I’m not gonna pretend to be a srs hiphop person and maybe that’s part of the reason I (/the rest of the tumblr whites community) approach this differently from the goon community, but pretty much my argument begins and ends w/ “imo...some of these lines are clever”
but they’re not clever, they’re really basic
and like actual rappers come up with funnier lines all day
I am more than willing to believe that whiney
Like if you want comedy rap, this is at least a step above like MC LARS HORRISHIT or whatever, but there’s a whole school of MCs—Copywrite, High & Mighty, Apathy, Bumpy Knuckles, J-Zone, Celph Titled, Chino XL, even Joe Buddden—that do the constant hammering-away-at-punchlines thing. Sorry they’re not ADORABLE and on NBC’s Pomplamoose-comedy half-hour sitcom, Tumblr whites.
Seriously, any fan of this idiot download Copywrite’s The High Exhaulted and get back at me
i was p into high and mighty and like, louis logic when i was in high school
i bet if i were in high school now id be into childish gambino
man it must be so cool to not be white or on the internet
lol @ me i think i was just excited to see someone mention high & mighty (xp)
I am runnin’ this bitch, you are just a dog walker
this is actually the worst line of that verse. it is just so lazy and shit.
whineys community bashing itt getting me so defensive & emotional lol
let us never forget when he mentioned that he’s seen a bunuel film
‘god this is really boring but I can’t wait to mention it online’
white tumblr’s burden
‘god this is really boring but I can’t wait to mention it online’
The ILX company motto.
“E. e. cummin’ on her face, now that’s poetry in motion”
expressing appreciation of this is some shameful shit.
I will go on record as saying I like Shaq’s rapping a lot better. There is at least some nostalgia factor at play.
i still want to know whose face he’s talking about, since none of the lines preceding that specify a subject.
‘your’ face, I woulda understood.
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

yeah I think that one of the problems w/ the anti-gambino arguments ive read (which i more or less completely agree w/) is that they seem to dismiss the legitimacy of that perspective completely when it’s not the rap game (per se) where ‘weird’ people of color who identify w/ CG might have it hard ... its HIGH SCHOOL.
of course, recognizing that he has a legit perspective & making worthwhile music are two angles that may or may not overlap
well part of the problem is that he seems to have not been keeping up with rap trends for the past decade, or that because he is sooooo indie, he only has a handful of rap records and doesn’t know what the shit his record should sound like in 2011.
I have really been trying to let this go but I can’t; fuck this abhorrent, disgusting viewpoint. Don’t tell people what their shit is supposed to sound like.
i think most people here are totally fine with rap records with an insular or outdated aesthetic from people aren’t tapped into ‘what’s popping in 2011’ but if the lyrics are constantly positioning the artist as a breath of fresh air from what’s mainstream right now then it kind of behooves the artist to know about what they’re positioning themselves as an alternative to
it’s like shitty alt-rock bands that were still all defensively “sorry we’re not like LIMP BIZKIT” five years after bizkit’s last hit
‘but if the lyrics are constantly positioning the artist as a breath of fresh air’
surely the first rapper to try this
oh i make fun of other rappers that do this too — drake sneering “A LOT OF Y’ALL SOUNDING LIKE LAST YEAR” over a 808s & heartbreak knockoff in 2009 was classic
Criticizing someone for acting like they are revolutionary when they sound exactly like everyone else around them is one thing; a hoy hoy’s statement probably meant that, but it isn’t what it actually said.
is ‘what he is currently saying is not 100% true’ really a tool w/ which you can critique rap music.
like if he was rapping about how his flow is pretty lol and he’s bringing nothing new to the game and his punchlines aren’t funny—would that improve this music
also, don’t answer that
well he does rap about how people THINK he’s wack like that
would it be okay with everyone if i just edit every message on this thread to “this dude sucks” and then lock thread?
^ thinks ‘Texts from Bennett’ is funny
Ok al’s limp bizkit thing was more otm of what i was trying to say. But seriously, trying to act like some sort of refreshing voice and that you know more about the genre when you sound generic and dont know whut yr doing is just going to make you look like a twat.
i bet jon/via/chi would find Childish Gambino a refreshing voice in hip-hop
c’mon dude total out-of-context pointless picking on somebody who’s not even here (probably BECAUSE he was feeling picked on, whether justified or not) is beyond the pale for even you
I owe him at least a dozen pointless attacks for all the times he was shitting on me in a place where I could rack up suggbans for responding to his dumb bullshit
“beyond the pale for even you”
A high and mighty stance from a dude who spent his Sunday poking deej with a stick
regional stick
deej was around to poke back, though (...)
like there was literally no reason to bring up jon in here other than your whole “everything i hate needs to be interconnected into a complex tapestry of stuff that sucks” way of life
i mean i’m waiting for you to tell me how i’m being like Salem right now
the dude who helped drive him off now playing white knight, what an awesome turn of events
if we can get 51 people to say ‘ban whiney’ will a mod enforce it?
1. ban whiney
i’m not whiney
1. ban whiney, also ban dealwithit.gif
lol @ this turn, is all I can say
You guys need to keep up with jaymc’s detective work wrt sandbox names. I’ve been bagging on how much I hate Childish Gambino in two threads now. But glad to see someone wants to stick me up as the strawman for liking this feeb.
somebody who’s not even here

he got mad about bon/voya/ge, i explained why it wasn’t intended as a diss, afaict it was resolved.
hi jon/El Sandboxo! yeah i have no idea who anyone is obv, sorry i misspoke about you not being here but good to see you.
loooooool @ all this
cant you see this childish gambino is tearing us apart &c &c
Jesus I really don’t want to have to rehash any of that again, but Mr. Stevensome #dude otm here.
Am I really like the posterboy for shitty rap? Or is this to be shrugged off as typical Whiney ish?
yes, shrug it off
yeah, i would not extrapolate whiney comments into any broader sentiment
for clarity can a mod change the thread title to “Childish Gambino + whiney cosplay thread”, thx.
this is gonna wind up like some keyser soze shit where we all discover dealwithit.gif is really ned after real ilx is back up
“and...*flounce*...he’s gone...”
your whole “everything i hate needs to be interconnected into a complex tapestry of stuff that sucks” way of life

lol i do this too. who knew this thread would make me sympathetic with whiney?
‘posts from weingarten’ could be the next internet ventriloquism sensation
rip dave cool
Childish Gambino breaks us apart so we can join back together
btw, I tried to listen to this album again and had to bail halfway through track 4
no one answered my question
this a fun thread, nobody wants you to lock it
except for lex maybe, lol
although really I started it mostly for the amazing array of terrible pictures
i didn’t really understand the ‘let’s lol at pictures of him.’ i mean there’s nothing really funny about the way he looks more than any nerdy blog rapper, really, and he’s definitely not on a kanye level of embarrassing clothes.
if you can’t laugh at this:
I mean, I don’t even know how you can not find this picture ridiculous and funny
i guess it just looks exactly like a picture i would’ve assumed existed long before i saw it, is all
i would lol at joel mchale giving him an akward fatherly “i really like the ‘beat’ on track 3” compliment though
Or is this to be shrugged off as typical Whiney ish?

only if done with a lazy zing abt tumblr dogs.
abed dudes knuckles are bigger than his head/
is that fat neil in the far right of the photo???
(no, it isn’t)
Actualy for a split second I thought dude to the extreme left was noted ilxor gr8080.
I caught whatever the fuck this is from “the smartest show on tv” on my way to watching Parks and Rec
http://www.hulu.com/watch/308605/community-merry-chang-mas#s-p1-sr-i1
Seriously, this is like television for people who laugh at loud at Questionable Content cartoons and who’s record collection is 80% Weird Al. What the living fuck is this shit.
i never want to watch tv again that was so fucking stupid, fuck
you missed the actual worst part of the episode where the childish gambino guy rapped
every cloud has a silver lining i guess
i’m trying to be “a nice guy” and stay out of the actual community thread with this stuff, but like i promise if i see one more thing like that, I’m busting in like kool-aid man
hit em with some flavor
you should totally come to the community thread since we’re already making fun of you on there fwiw
getting mad at an in-jokey end credits gag is pretty funny, though. like if you judged the simpsons by one of those bits where chief wiggum is just talking over the credits.
xpost oh wow a bunch of They Might Be Giants fans making fun of the metalhead while they play with tangrams, i’m gonna be mad butthurt
*burnishes official metalhead badge*
i had to look up “burnish,” i bet you’re one of them
“xpost oh wow a bunch of They Might Be Giants fans making fun of the metalhead while they play with tangrams, i’m gonna be mad butthurt”
i love how when he’s not personally hold algerian goalkeeper’s head in the toilet suddenly he’s the bullied metalhead
I don’t get the tangrams diss, can someone explain
who the fuck knows, when whiney gets off on a ‘dennis miller of williamsburg’ riff no left field reference is too nonsensical
lol ‘dennis miller of williamsburg’ is kinda perfect
looool
I’m surprised whiney will look up ‘burnish’ but not read foucault
“listen, chichi, if i wanted tumblr on my television i’d ask the cloud rap producer who lives in my basement to rewire the living room ::hair flip:: A-HA!”
listen, jon via chichi
lol
can we have whiney rewrite that, in needs 4 more references
I’ve actually been working on a routine called “Andrew Dice Pitchfork”
The only joke I have so far is “My girl said she wanted me to be more experimental in bed... so I turned on Dirty Projectors and went to sleep, <i>oh!,</i>”
lmao
book deal
Was hoping to have it ready in time for sxsw... Prolly not gonna happen this year tho
