You guys watch Community? OK, well, it’s good and you should watch it if you don’t, but if you do, you know Donald Glover, who plays Troy. During his downtime, Don recorded a mixtape under the name Childish Gambino and released it on his website for free. And it’s sick. His lyrics are tight and funny and his skill level is surprisingly good.
Rapping over bands like Grizzly Bear and Animal Collective, Childish Gambino tells us what it’s like to be the most fashionable young TV actor in the game. On my favorite track, “My Girls”, he also gives some insight to what it’s like to date a dude whose job lends to a player lifestyle. You can download parts 1 and 2 of his mixtape “I Am Just a Rapper” here and here.
Listen to “New Prince (Crown On the Ground)” here:
If you like Donald Glover, you should take a look at Derrick Comedy. I haven’t gotten around to watching Community, but I always thought he was hilarious in their skits. http://www.derrickcomedy.com
oh, another person in Derrick Comedy- Erin from The Office.
Thanks for that link!
Erin is one of the (small amount of) things I like in The Office now.
That show is now a bit of a sinking ship (although last week’s episode was fantastic).
Comedy gold.
I really love him. He’s hilarious as Troy on Community AND he used to write for 30 Rock.
totally rules.
MAJOR let down..was not feeling the song one bit
1. Is he Danny Glover’s son?
2. Is his webpage not working for anybody else?
