Jumping in Headfirst

Definitely my favorite song off of CAMP. As much as I love the swag and energy and classic Gambino lines in both "Sunrise" and "Power", this track is just the perfect mix between a good beat and lyrics that are easily relate-able and resonate with anyone that's been in any kind of situation like this. Don't let the beat and the chorus fool you; you can almost feel the anger in Donald's voice as he sings this song, with each verse going deeper into the mind of a man who's been abandoned by a girl he was truly in love with because of his commitment to his work. The last line is hilarious, but it's also kind of symbolic of the ridiculous thought processes of men in general: So many guys have either stayed with women or gone back to women because we were simply incapable of giving up the sex, regardless of the mental or emotional havoc that gets wreaked upon us.

Gambino is a Mastermind. I played this song at least a dozen times back when it was just a one minute clip on Vimeo. To hear the full thing is almost like bliss and I can't stop playing it. Can't say its my favorite track off CAMP (which has a First Listen on NPR), but it's definitely pretty far up there. I find hipster girls both amusing and kinda hot (the look at least), so I can't help vibing to this song. Next week I'll probably throw up my favorite, but I'll be honest: I can't get this album out of my head right now so favorite is relative.

Bonfire by Childish Gambino First track off the album "Camp". I know people loved Freaks and Geeks but man this is so much better. At least to me. Dude comes so raw with it this time, and his flow has almost completely changed. This will be the second album I cared enough to pay for this year. Looking forward to it in November.

Like I was really going to let a CG verse slip by. Yeah, right. Especially not when he's over half this song. Sick. If this is what CG's bringing on Camp, I'll be listening to his album another year straight.

The IAMDONALD tour. Seattle, Washington. Dude kills it. I've never actually been inspired by a guy before, but Donald Glover actually inspires me to want to work harder and be better at everything I do. Courtesy of ChildishGambinoLyrics.
