    May 3rd, 2020 my son was taken from this world before I ever got to hold him. This song took a whole different meaning for me. The world is cruel and mean. Rest in Peace Hendrix Beck.

    “There was a time before you,
    And there will be a time after you.
    Though these bodies are not our own...
    Walk Tall Little One.
    Walk Tall!” - Childish Gambino

    We see lots of people saying this isn't rap, it's risky, they don't like it, etc, etc.
    After all, rap has always been inspired by Funk and Soul music, using their samples over time. For me, Donald Glover is only going back to the roots and showcasing his versatility as well as good taste in music. One last thing, I believe he is going to reach a whole different set of audience with this album. Such as fans of Maxwell, Raphael Saadiq and so on. Well, I hope it's a good bet on his part!

And Gambino really captures that feel of classic R&B/soul. This is probably one of my favourite Albums at the moment. its just such a good turn for him.

    Forget everything you heard from Gambino before. All the rapping and funny lines. Forget it. Act as if this is a completely different person that you have never heard before, and I can almost guarantee that you will enjoy this album. I think we have this expectation of Because the Internet and Camp, and we try to make those the judging stick. Also, I think most people who enjoy Gambino's music are between like 16-30. So a lot of us aren't used to this kind of Funkadelic / Jimi Hendrix / Prince sound, because it's just not from our time. I had the luxury of parents always playing that music in my house but some don't. So I also suggest going back and listening to some old school funk and soul and rock from the 60s and 70s. I think it'll help appreciate this album even more. Because as a Gambino fan, I can honestly say that I love this more than his rapping. The whole sound and groove of this album is amazing. And Ik it's early but I think this might be my favorite album from him.

      Agree with your POV Jumar, Many rappers get scrutinized because all their music begins to sound the same. nothing by Gambino has really sounded the same since he came out. yea he got styles he pulled almost straight from the funk era, but i think its refreshing and unique to have his own interpretation. it makes me think this whole album was inspired by how well his fans received that interlude track on Because the Internet entitled "Urn" which i will listen to on repeat all day.
