Childish Gambino

[mja271]

He's not the best alive but I like him more than a few of those guys

But at Hologram Tupac

[Useliteski]

i guess i'm just into a completely different style of hip-hop, mostly the underground stuff being released recently.

solid point on him being a comedian first though. i do love Community.

[FromTheMorning]

AoTD thread doesn't like these guys, neither does the hip-hop thread. Maybe you guys will, I've been trying to push them for a while now.

These are just cyphers they do through YouTube. They have an actual album coming out in a few weeks.

all disagree with you.

Pusha T really disagrees. But seriously , CG is no where near the 'best rapper alive'. He's fresh and unique, but not the best.

[luccic12]

Lil B is horrible

[Andrew4Bama]

Why is Nas not on that list?

I was clearly being facetious. He is inventive, and a lot of fun live. Clearly not the best. You listed Lil B. You lose at life.

this guys isn't that great.

i compare everything to real hip hop (tribe, nas, etc)

[smashvacation]

Anyone catching CG in Minneapolis May 10?

[bayou_captain]

Saw him live this past Wednesday. He killed it and brought so much energy. My only complaint would be that he didn't do much from his old mixtapes and that the set could've been a lot longer. He played a new song that was alright but it definitely wasn't amazing. Still, I had an amazing time and I would definitely recommend seeing him if he comes to a city near you.

Tipsy like some jenga, Shout out to my Topangas

I like their flow! I discovered them on twitter a few weeks ago. Kinda like Macklemore, if you listen to him.

Gambino show in Chicago is sold out and I don't feel like paying $100 just to see him at Lollapalooza. I'm settling for the next best and going to see Wiz and Mac Miller.

Has anyone seen Wiz live?

[luccic12]

Saw him near Albany. Listened to a DJ play his ipod for two hours and then Wiz did 45 minutes.

Yeah, I'm not expecting much more than an hour set. I'm guessing most of 'Rolling Papers' mixed with a few old/new material.......but mainly RP

[andrewj063]

This show last night was just insane. Too bad it was in a nightclub where you couldn't hear a damn thing. Him and his band command the stage like few artists I've ever seen.

I don't trust any artist whose "next best thing" is Mac Miller

I respect Mac for sticking to his guns and getting where he wants to be. Seriously, I do. He's a power of example for any young kids trying to make it. That said, he's fucking godawful

I'll be incoherent for Mac. I'm not too concerned.

[vikes989]

He's been dropping new tracks like crazy recently. Cannot wait for the Baltimore show in 3 weeks.

[umphucked88]

He needs to quit bullshitting and rease this miixtape already.

[luccic12]

EE cumming on her face, now that's poetry in motion.

[iMAC386]

I love that line.

[joshizzle3]

I've been listening to the I Am Just a Rapper mixtapes a ton recently. The first two are especially cool, with lots of tracks over bands like Grizzly Bear, Vampire Weekend, etc

[vikes989]

So I saw him in Baltimore last night. Might be the most fun I've ever had at a concert. Dude just has tons and tons of energy, I was struggling to keep up with him and he's the one rapping . And as for his flow, he was just KILLING it. Really need to find the setlist. If you enjoy his music and have a chance, GO SEE HIM.

who else was with him at the concert?

[s0628711]

Saw him at bonnaroo. His electronics crapped out halfway through so he freestyled most of the rest of the show. Amazing.

And he feature mostly culdesac which happens to be my favorite.

[beefandbean22]

He announced the release date for his new mixtape: http://iamdonald.com/childishgambino

[PWall]

Saw him last night at central park with danny brown and schoolboy q. good show, played most of camp and some older stuff and songs off his new mixtape. a lot of energy and interaction with the crowd. good show and it was only $35 so it was well worth it.

Didn't he release Culdesac on the 4th of July, as well? I'm so glad a release date was announced, I feel like it's been forever since he announced it.
