Official Childish Gambino (Donald Glover from Community) Thread - Signs multiyear deal w/ Amazon and opts out of FX partnership

[senorroboto2k5]

How will this album be distributed? Will I be able to pick up a copy at Best Buy?

I'm def buying this on Nov. 15... NOT spending my money on an album that samples "Back Dat %+@ Up."

 

[|A-Man|]

I don't understand why ppl are holding out?

Do yourself the favor already. All The Shine, Heartbeat, L.E.S., Hold You Down, Sunrise, That Power, Outside, Bonfire, etc.

That track completely caught me off guard when I heard it.

Am I the only one who thinks You See Me is trash? The damn beat just overpowers his voice and makes the whole song unbearable.

He should never spit on those types of beats.

 

[bkmac]

I couldn't resit, just played it from NPR. 

With that said, Childish is truly my favorite rapper out right now.

 

[finessesosa]

L.E.S is my favorite 

 

[elcerrito91]

it was okay, not great imo...not really my style of rap, but some of the songs were pretty good

 

[denni5themenace]

i need a 320 bit version of this

 

[weaponry expert]

You See Me..... goodness

 

[chrispcb15]

did the album leak? just want to know

 

[thedeek]

The full album is on NPR stream. Don't ask for leaks unless you want this thread to go the way of the Drake thread.

Great album. Been replaying this at work for the past day. Better than the Toronto guy's album. That Power =

 

[luong1209]

Been studying to it this last couple of hours, got a few tracks that stand out - However, not a fan of some.

Break, was nice...Despite not being on this current album.

Album is amazing to me. I do not dislike any songs. Also, Amazon has it on sale/pre-order for $7.99. Ordered with the quickness

.

[big j 33]

The final part of That Power is why I'm a fan of Glover

 

[swagger2much4you]

[pj and bompton]

Coachella next year

"Asian girls everywhere....UCLA"

 

[acidicality]

It's official...I'm buying this and not buying Take Care. There are some drums and beats that are very similar to his stuff on Culdesac, but it's a great album. Really feeling "All the Shine"

People are going to get very bored of him if he doesn't progress. At some point he's going to have to stop recycling Freaks and Geeks and start making actual songs. I like dude but the constant repetition makes me want to @#$%ing stab him sometimes. There's some heat with their good qualities on here but after listening to Camp in it's entirety I'm sceptical that he's a little one dimensional. Crooning hooks is not diversity.

Edit - I more or less agree with Fantano.

 

[ballislife32688]

to each his own, this is like some hipster music, I don't see any reason for the hype that NT has made, but as I stated to each his own.

 

[venom lyrix]

It warms my heart to see this thread on the first page every day, and every time i click on the music thread.

Everyone giving him a chance and listening to his music is awesome, it's about time he got some recognition.

Call me a stan or w/e but I'm just happy good music is being appreciated by a wider audience, nothing wrong with that, IMO.

what do you mean recycling Freaks and Geeks?
Have you listened to Culdesac and his music prior to Freaks and Geeks?

he's not recycling, I feel like he is doing the opposite, fresh air in music.
