And if he does my man Lando dirty I really will become racist.

Nope. Your opinion is just wrong. Maybe not with Chance, never really got into his solo music because he never made anything that grabbed my attention, but Because The Internet AND Awaken, My Love are great albums.

You were racist the moment you decided to put those Klan robes on and burn this metaphorical cross of hatred on the front yard of Gambino's music banter thread.

big advocate for Camp and I Am Not A Rapper 1 & 2

spitting over that Grizzly Bear track was the real deal

The song is meh, probably one of the better Childish Gambino songs though. I really liked that Redbone song off his last album but have not liked anything else from him.

That video is exceptional though. Sure, it may be a bit on the nose, but it's executed very well and the whole dancing distraction vs. the "keep an eye on the background" thing is a good concept.

My friend called me up saying: "this video is gonna change everything" and he kept praising it saying it was genius but when i saw the vid i just thought it was alright. I like the concept of it and Glover's interpretive performance is great but i don't think it's anything mind blowing or a game changer. I do like it tho but this hype it is getting is a little much.

I agree. The "hidden symbolism" with the cops, pop culture, etc etc are kind of played out narritaves.

right, and then he comes out saying he just wanted to make a good song people will like, effectively using the charleston shooting as a cheap gimmick. kind of disappointing but the track's still a jam.

but why is the charleston shooting necessarily being used as a gimmick? after all it was a big event in recent african american history, no? so probably many of them feel strongly about it
