childish gambino ROUNDUP

"Mashup roundups are the wave of the future." ~Javier Nelson

It's time again for another one of those wonderful human endeavors: the roundup. You see, mashup roundups are the wave of the future and we're all about the future here at Javier Nelson dot com. This is not so much a mashup roundup as it is a "heads up". Childish Gambino AKA Donald Glover (no relation) of Community fame is the freshest hotness in hip hop in the ENTIRE world! Right now, anyway. Refute the claim, I dare you. I'm going to need empirical evidence for your refutation though as I'm about to provide you with the empirical evidence of why you ought to be listening to (and going to the concerts of/by) Childish Gambino.

First documented evidence is in the form of a mashup, naturally:

Childish Gambino vs. Joker - Bonfire Vision (lobsterdust mashup)

No video as of yet, that must be a too fresh track for a video. Hopefully you heard it hear first, because the funny isn't all we're ahead of the game with. Check out the original Childish Gambino Bonfire:

The video is nuts. Plain and simple. There's nothing about this that makes me think Mr. Glover and myself aren't on the same page as far as reasonable (or rational) crazy goes.


Here's the obligatory "slow jam" (because he made it retarded), Heartbeat scroll down further and click the next video if you're scared.

As one scours the interwebs for music, one often encounters garbage or something they think may be a scam. I encountered this "gem" while searching for sources to embed to for this post. You're experiencing a very meta moment right now as you read this and I embed the following "raw mash" or "freestyle" I think they may call it. I mean, he's rapping over Grizzly Bear, after all:

Obviously (or not) the video itself is not the primary motivating factor here on how I "share" things, and since I'm a n00b when it comes to copyright infringement (or not), only embed what I can and don't evaluate the video itself (for the most part). Even though I did earlier when I said Mr. Glover (no relation) was crazy like me, I don't try to. One other thing, we end sentences with prepositions around here whenever we want to. Finally, and because I don't want to take up too much of your time, we have my final piece of evidence for the rightful claim of "king" for this "n00b":
