A major change in themes and focus allow for more eclectic content than ever before. Gambino manages to make an endlessly engaging album by featuring zealous yet subtle production and unique song/album structure - even including a built in play that will add another dimension to the album once the script is released. Not to say that this album is a mix of those sounds exactly, but more in regard to the ideology or mindset surrounding the aesthetic.

Although Glover states that one of the problems with the world is that we "see doors" at all, I won't hesitate to say that this album just blew open the doors that Mac Millers fantastic LP “Watching Movies With the Sound Off” and equally engaging and even more eccentric mixtape “Delusional Thomas”, along with Kanye West's “Yeezus” or Danny Brown's “Old” started to edge open. The last wave of 20 year olds rapping were totting guns and gang signs not doing DMT and ayawaska.Įverything just kept going, and going and goingĮnter, “Because the Internet”, Childish Gambino's follow up to his well received major label debut, “Camp”. Rap is basically going through a mid life crisis - and it looks like the counter culture is going to dive with no inhibitions straight into psychedelic hip hop. I think its a crucial time in hip hop right now. Or young rappers deal with mind enchaining drug use (not molly, coke, etc but shrooms, acid, DMT). Think about the fact that we're only NOW seeing how "old" rappers cope with the change in age, culture or music (Jay Z, Nas, Eminem). I think raps history being as short as it is, deserves more attention. Rapping about ayawaska for ***s sake - but not in a pretentious "whats the meaning of life" type of way - moreso in a really unique and resonating manner. Sure Chance the Rapper and "Acid Rap" (which is great) are a part of it, but I’m talking about artists like Mac who are instilling increasingly surreal and atmospheric vibes to their production as well as their lyrics. are all becoming some of my favorites in hip hop is a little abstract - I feel like rap is nearing a really unique point in its short existence, equivalent to what psychedelics did to rock in the 60s and 70s. But one of the reasons artists like him, Mac Miller, Ab Soul, Schoolboy Q, etc. His lyrics also showcase his seemingly innate sense of culture and trends as well as his intelligent background (I mean, he's kinda my role model in the way he went from NYU to trying rap to 30 Rock to Community to making really good music). He's a highly relatable artist, in an extremely heart on your sleeve way, whose delivery and presence makes him entertaining and humorous. Understanding Childish Gambino's success up until this point is pretty straightforward. Review Summary: Poppin pills at the Coachella
