Childish Gambino - 3.15.20 (March 22, 2020) / Atavista (May 13, 2024) Album • Page 7

So pumped for the album. Song and video are fantastic statements to open the album cycle with. Dude's a visionary--I'm not even gonna try to sit here and unpack all of it. I think with this video, as well as with Atlanta, there are elements clearly made for an enjoyable first-watch/listen, yet it's meticulously crafted that repeated viewings are extremely rewarding.

His music, his art, even elements of his public persona--they're not supposed to be easily-digestible. He's giving us the ugly truth alongside a slew of other things.

Anyway, I've been jamming STN MTN a shit ton as the weather gets nicer and I plan on giving AML a relisten soon. Always preferred rap Gambino over his newest stuff, but then again I think I was just biased when it first came out.

 

Damn look at Troy

I could see it being the intro

 

This thread is annoying

 

So leave ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Where do we think this is gonna chart? With the video going viral, I think this has a chance to crack the top 10 on first week.

 

It already has 42M views on YT, it’ll be 1-3 depending on competition on release

 

it'll help the song out for sure, I don't know how much though

 

I'm on like my 100th viewing of the video and I'm just now noticing that during the second verse a person falls from the scaffolding in the background.

 

Wait, Future and Thug got their names tatted on each other? That's amazing.

 

This Is America is the #1 song on iTunes right now, and Awaken My Love is #5 and Because the Internet is #8, safe to say this album is going to be pretty huge

 

video is great, song is lackluster

 

I've been relistening to Culdesac lately, this song is underrated

I listened to this mixtape nonstop when it came out

 

I still think Donald's first song is his best:

 

A classic.

 

To go along with Derrick Comedy, it's crazy how much Donald has evolved since then, considering his first big viral video was (ugh) "Bro Rape," a video that has aged like a carton of milk in the desert.

 

Almost all of his early music is hard to listen to as well. He's grown so much.

 

BTI is a mixed bag but that record really marked a giant transition in his development as an artist. Pretty sure that was around the time he walked away from Community to start developing Atlanta as well.

 

BTI has a handful of really good songs in a semi-mess of an album

 

BTI is one of my favorite albums of all time

 

I like Crawl, Worldstar, Shadows, Sweatpants, 3005, and the last track a lot. I never come back to the rest of it at all.

Also Nights by Frank Ocean bears incredible resemblance to Life: The Biggest Troll and I’ve never been a huge fan of that Frank song as a result

Nights is a way better song imo but I can’t get that comparison out of my head when it comes on

 

All his music after BTI is pretty excellent imo.

 

Underrated song from it: Earth The Oldest Computer
