He had released his first mixtape, Sick Boi, the previous year, using a name, Childish Gambino, he'd been given by an on-line Wu-Tang Clan name generator. His next mixtape, Poindexter, was released on September 19, 2009, the same day Community premiered on NBC. Nov 16, 2011 - Childish Gambino's first official album may have dropped yesterday, but the rapper has released a series of impressive mixtapes and free.
For the first time, nothing but applause can be heard surrounding Childish Gambino’s music. I’ve been a fan long enough to remember how some would call him a fake Drake when EP first dropped. The boos that followed his debut album Camp is still very fresh in my mind. Naysayers were truly resistant in showing any love to the growth shown on Because the Internet. Childish may have been popular, but he has never been adored by the majority―he wasn’t always great, but he received no mercy for being good. The beauty of his story is that he never stopped improving; he continued to progress, and with each album, he evolved as an artist. This is the best he has ever sounded, and the most he has ever been accepted.
