I don't care how pretentious it makes me (I've been doing my best to make that my e-legacy) Childish Gambino is crap. It's eddie murphy "my girl wants to party all the time" crap, it's nick cannon crap. It's the ripple effects of lil wayne's punchline rap becoming the mainstream, and it hurts, it hurts bad.
The songs by themselves sound good. They're designed to. Imagine if professor utonium wasn't trying to make powerpuff girls, he was trying to make commercial rap, he substitutes "sugar" for puns, "spice" with superficial individualism (oh my ****ing god a black guy who doesn't rap about chains?!?1?1!?) and "Everything nice" with broad marketability( hey this guy already has a teenage fanbase!)
Seriously, this dude is an android, his humor is equally generic and self-entitling.
