Why? Because I said so! The people who’ve downloaded Culdesac have encouraged me to continue to spread the gospel that is Childish Gambino aka comedian/actor/creator Donald Glover Grab his earlier tapes I Am Just A Rapper 1 & 2 below, where he rhymes effortlessly over indie rock beats (except that “Exhibit C” that for some strange reason had the world talking about it. It was cool, but I mean, come on. Don’t make me talk about that here though. That’s for an in-person discussion.).
If you have an eclectic ear, you may recognize a bunch of these joints. The tapes are also critically acclaimed. You be the judge as to which is triller; my vote’s with the first, but the second has jams too. If you’re confused as to who this guy is, then go check the post I did on him a little while ago.

Childish Gambino is now one of my favorites. Seriously, lyrically, this man is genius; and a witty genius at that. He’s fresh and unique and I think we need that. Thank you for putting me on!!! I am now a fan of Donald Glover on all ends of his talent spectrum. Great work Modi!

I’ll tell you modi, I love Derrick Comedy and Mystery Team movie is my shit. Still, I was reluctant about Childish Gambino. But then I heard “Do Ya Like”…

You’ve totally started a movement Modi! Been spreading his music ever since I first heard “Got This Money” a few days ago. You should’ve heard all the reactions my friends had when first listening to him. Thanks to you I now have a new favorite! 
I’ve been listening to Cul De Sac for the past 2 months. Gambino got his man, Cul De Sac gets heavy bump in my fosgates. I also bammed out, and bought the Mystery Team DVD(pretty funny, dry humor).

You guys were right, he’s got some lyrical skill. I think I like “I Am Just A Rapper 2″ more.
