Review: Childish Gambino – I AM JUST A RAPPER Mixtape 1 & 2
For those of you who don’t know who Childish Gambino is, I feel sorry for you because you are missing out on the hottest MC to enter the game.
Now some of you might know Childish Gambino as Donald Glover from Derrick Comedy and NBC’s Community. However, after listening to his two mixtapes (which are available for FREE), you might as well just forget about his previous ventures. To be honest, I thought I was going to be laughing at some funny songs about stupid sh*t, but Childish Gambino delivers some of the catchiest lyrics I have heard in awhile and beats I instantly fell in love with.
As I stated, these are some of the catchiest lyrics I have heard in awhile. While you are listening, you might notice that some of the lyrics have a silly sense to them and you shouldn’t expect anything less, but it works within the confines of the music. Having the ability to mix comedy with serious is what makes these songs so great because you might be able to relate to some of the things he is joking or being serious about. That right there is one of the most important traits that makes a great lyricist.
Beat wise, they might not be the most complex but they put some of those $10,000 dollar beats to shame. Trust me when I say that you will be nodding you head or taping your foot along with just about all of the songs.
I don’t care if you hate everything that involves rap or have no idea who Donald Glover is (shame on you for that one). You need to download these two mixtapes right now because you will instantly fall in love them. The more I listen to them, the more I crave and can not wait for the third one to drop.
Mr. Gambino also get’s one of his Derrick Comedy buddies, DC Pierson, to spit hot fire on three of the tracks through out both mixtapes.

Honestly I downloaded this because I thought it’d be funny. And it is. But it’s also awesome. God forbid there is a clever rapper with good taste in music and a (oh no!) positive message while being extremely catchy.
Eat a Dick! but on another note gambino is one of the sickest nerd core rappers out to date both I am just a rapper 1 and 2 are great mixtapes. but there are also other songs available for download through different venues lie true dudes featuring nerd core king MC chris. I and all of his other listeners applaud mr.glovers efforts and await more mixtapes to follow,
Beats are mezmorizing, wordplay is slick. Both albums . . . dulcifying.
