Childish Gambino - Because the Internet

Label: Glassnote
Year: 2013
Genre: Hip Hop
Recommending Person: Daniel Gould

Watch out for 'dat gif'. I was a bit disappointed by this album. I'm a big fan of Donald Glover's earlier albums and I think he is a very talented lyricist, although a bit overhyped because white kids can understand all the lyrics and can somewhat relate to everything that is said by the middle class raised Glover.

I think is the issue because I loved Royalty. That album is a discussion of the first kids of Black Royalty. There is a great interview with Hot 97's Peter Rosenberg where he talks intelligently about what Royalty meant and his beefs within the business. I'll attach that video down below.

I didn't love the beats created for this album and it was a bit too experimental for me. It seemed to effect the flow that I usually love the most in Childish Gambino records.
