Childish Gambino – “Heartbeat” Video

02.11.12 Written by TC

12.28.11 Written by TC

Hip-Hop history has seen a fair share of its denizens makeshift their rhyming parables into dialogue fit for a thespian. But what if happened the other way around? The arts know no boundaries when it comes to expressing realistic vantage points.

Notable Quotable – Childish Gambino’s “Hold You Down”

11.14.11 Written by TC

“The reason that they say I’m nothing what they seen or heard
Is the same reason Will Smith’s always opposite Latino girls
They only see you how they wanna see you ’til you make ‘em see you in some other way
I’m trippin’ off the other day Read the rest of this entry »

Childish Gambino – “Bonfire” Video

10.31.11 Written by David D.

Childish Gambino sees your endless Halloween mixtapes and raises you a highly creative and creepy “Bonfire” video for All Hallows’ Eve. When I first heard Childish Gambino rap, it was very difficult to separate him from the hilarious Troy from Community. But he’s managed to make myself – and the rest of the world that has a discernible amount of taste – see his two avenues as exclusive entities. Read the rest of this entry »

Childish Gambino – “Break (AOTL)”

04.04.11 Written by J. Tinsley

Seeing as how my television viewing tendencies are novice at best, the first encounter with Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino was actually through music. I have yet to see Community even amidst the quality reviews friends and critics alike have afforded the show. David’s introductory piece about the guy planted the seeds of interest.

Childish Gambino – “The Longest Text Message”

03.28.11 Written by MZ

Over the past few months I’ve partaken in numerous conversations about the future of Hip-Hop, at work, with friends and, of course, via the internet. To be more specific, the discussions usually revolve around whether or not Hip-Hop will ever revert back to the style of music many of us came to grow and love.
