Why do we like this?
With less than a month away from his album release titled Camp (via Glassnote Records), Donald Glover's hip-hop alter ego, Childish Gambino, is stepping up his game and illuminating swagger all over the interwebs. The young MC's not playing coy with his quick-witted temperaments, allowing him to get personal with his audience while amusing the masses.
Even though we're accustomed to seeing and hearing Gambino in full Community character, on Camp he strips down to the bare essentials allowing his audience to become familiar with his regular guy approach, scoring fans left and right.
His latest release, titled "All the Shine," is a tad more low energy than his previous single, "Bonfire," with slowed down beats, soulful vocals, and solid lyrics equipped with enough profanity and vulgarity to make his predecessors take a step back in awe. The whole persona of Childish Gambino lies within his dope oeuvres paired with his social commentaries and comedic wordplays. His raps are so diverse that you can tell that he's in between worlds.
He's an established geek making the same music as gangsters. His tracks add enough intrigue and versatility to make us question what is real and what is for pure entertainment value. With lyrics like "Why does everyone have a problem with talking stupid shit? Or is it real shit? Cause sometimes that stupid shit is real shit," it's hard to question his intentions on whether or not he's being real, but honestly, who cares? His passion is obvious and his intentions are out in the open for haters to hate on or for fans to vibe on. Check out Camp when it drops November 15!
