Freaks and Geeks

The more things change in the music world, the more Childish Gambino's commitments to Asian women and pop-culture references stay the same. The style wrapped around those Childish Gambino mainstays is evolving for the better, though.

For a successful comic who's decided to fight for rap legitimacy, Gambino's determined to talk about his roots despite his present success and to employ a style that some find incompatible with his hipster TV writer persona. If you think he's being tongue in cheek when he injects "street swagger" (can't believe I'm allowing these words on my blog, just this once, I promise) into his lyrics and delivery, these songs won't change your mind outright but you might take a second look.

P.S, his real name is Donald Glover (no relation to me, unfortunately) and you can watch him on Community, 'cause that show is fucking awesome. 

Love Always,
