Childish Gambino-EP

You may know Donald Glover from his sketch comedy group on YouTube, Derrick Comedy, or from NBC’s Community and 30 Rock. What you probably didn’t know is that he is one of the best rappers alive. Childish Gambino can spit, produce surprisingly great beats, while making an audience laugh with thoughtfully clever lyrics.

Childish Gambino, who’s name is taken from the Wu-Tang name generator, is an incredibly talented rapper; around every corner is a hilarious lyric to keep you on your toes, its no surprise he is great considering he has been rapping since before his acting days. On his latest EP, fresh pop-culture references are found throughout the songs. Take the first track, Be Alone, the first few bars are ridiculously packed:

Hard for a pitchfork, soft for a Rockefeller
Music was my side chick, but now we’re moving in together
Always felt misunderstood, I guess I have to tolerate
My swag Jehovah Witness, dude, it never take a holiday

APC jeans, brown leather jacket on
Kitsuné cable knit, cardigan from Rag & Bone
Thick Filipino chick, homemade bracelet
Her booty make her just a rapper, she ain’t gotta say shit

I’m someone they admire
Set the game ablaze, I’m an arcade fire

I didn’t think it was possible for Donald Glover to be any better than he was as an actor, clearly I was wrong. He is better than 90% of the “Critically Acclaimed” rappers out there (Lil’ Wayne, Eminem, Drake, even the great Jay-Z’s quality could be tested by Childish Gambino).

Check out his Childish Gambino EP for the price of “on the house” via Donald’s Blog while it remains up.
