Posts Tagged ‘Bonfire’

A couple of days ago, my Facebook exploded with people talking about Childish Gambino’s new album hitting the internet.  If you don’t already know who Childish Gambino is, maybe you’re more familiar with Troy from Community.  I did a post regarding how amazing I felt when I learned Troy was a bonafide rapper.  I immediately became a fan of his work and am one of millions who await his long awaited new album, Camp.  He’s already released one single on iTunes, Bonfire, that has a video posted below.  But now NPR has a full album on stream for anyone interested.  I’ve listened to almost all 56 minutes and am absolutely in love with it.  I suggest you do the same.  The link is below.

Freaks and Geeks

We’re back!  I have emerged alive from Georgia Tech’s most recent blow to my brain: 3 tests in one week – Organic Chemistry 2, Differential Equations, and Chemical Engineering.  I was mentally fried and far too stressed to write articles about SO MANY THINGS that have happened in the past 2 weeks or so.  Stay tuned for tons of new posts!  I’ll be sure to post through the weekends to make up for the last few weeks of hiatus.  Now let’s get to the topic at hand.

If you watch Community, then you know who Troy Barnes is.  He is played by actor Donald Glover, who actually has a rap alias named Childish Gambino.  If you’ve ever listened to his stuff, you’ll know how sick a rapper he is.  People have compared him to a combination of Drake and Lil’ Wayne, but I think he’s in a category all in his own.  His rap is actually better than a lot of other rap.  You can listen to any of his songs a dozen times or more and you’ll still find yourself catching new meaning to his lyrics.  So when he says ‘I got some pu**y that insane, so insane, it’s an enemy of Batman’ or ‘I’m a beast bitch, Grrr, Invader Zim’ or ‘I’m heading west like I’m f***ing blowing Kanye’, that means you’re picking up on the hundreds of pop cultural references in his raps.  Seriously, if you’re not listening to him now, start.  All his music used to be free, but now he’s signed to a label and you can see him on itunes.  This posts compiles a couple of videos from Youtube of my favorite songs from him.  Visit his website at iamdonald.com
