Underrated: Childish Gambino

I know some people have been talking a lot about Childish Gambino, but you still barely hear him played on the radio and there are so many people that still haven’t heard about him. Childish Gambino is the rap name of Donald Glover, who pretty much does everything.

He is a comedian, writes for 30 Rock, plays Troy Barnes in Community, and does the Derrick Comedy project on Youtube. He’s pretty much everywhere now, and yet rapping has become his signature forte.

While CG has had a lot of music, Camp is his first full studio album. I will admit, his mixtapes started off pretty bad, but he got so much better so quickly. The difference between the two “I Am Just a Rapper” mixtapes of 2010 (which I thought were mostly pretty awful) to mid 2010’s Culdesac was phenomenal. Culdesac had flaws, but showed so much promise. From the fantastic “Hero”, to the awesome beat behind “Let Me Dope You”, the list of great songs far outweighs the bad ones. But there are bad ones.
