Anyway, I’m expecting this to be dope. I LOVE this track.
Here that style works much better because it fits into the trap/mixtape feel.
Granted this track is a little annoying with the cell phone-esque chimes, but the bass makes up for it. An album will leak two weeks before its official release and a day later I’m getting hit with, “Where that album review at?” And that’s why we read “this album is classic/complete trash" reviews published so quickly after a project’s release because it must have been impossible for the writer to even listen to the album twice. Taylor’s third studio album, ‘The Album,’ is an honest work of art. Clubs Studio Airports 7. Sonically, it sounds, you know, good. These beats absolutely knock!
At the height of his powers, Drake released a 20-song album that's surprisingly slow but still offers up some real moments.
Chapter 4 (2018 NBA Finals Mixtape) Normally, an artist doing an entire trap tape would bother me, but I think Gambino has earned the right to try some random shit out just because he can; it feels more natural and purposeful. Trust me, I know.
Definitely a standout cut.
If 95% of non-trap rappers did this tape, I would leave feeling like they were trying to cater to what's hot, but for whatever reason, I don't get that vibe here.
Have I been living and making decisions with insufficient data on ATL strip clubs?
The STN MTN mixtape was released on October 2, … 1.
Released July 4, 2012. It’s a mixtape so the stakes are relatively low, and it’s Gambino so there will be at least some depth to make a follow-up review worthwhile. DJ Iceberg.
The production here alone is worth a listen. Listen to Childish Gambino | SoundCloud is an audio platform that lets you listen to what you love and share the sounds you create.. 128 Tracks. Childish Gambino's "Awaken, My Love!" It's amazing what happens when you get someone who can actually rap.
Well, he made it pretty clear what this is.
This is the most "Freaks and Geeks" he has been since "Freaks and Geeks." FUCK!!!!
Nu Wave 2.
My biggest issue with this mixtape will be if Gambino has the "right" flow for the beats he will rap on.
What if we were completely transparent, listened to an album once—in fact, only listened to each song on the album once—and then wrote a first impression review? That frozen line had me like... NO THE FUCK HE DIDN'T?!!
One listen, absolute first impressions, Childish Gambino, STN MTN, let’s go…. DJ MLK.
I can enjoy this and not feel guilty.
He created an original project using recycled beats and DJ tags.
Boom.
And then what if we followed up with another review a month later after allowing the album to truly marinate?
Chick-Fli-A won't open on Sundays, but at least now we have a Gangsta Grillz and Gambino mixtape.
Childish Gambino - Awaken, My Purple Love, Gun$ Garcia, K|Rex, Suga Shay & Yolo Ono - The Galentine's Day Mixtape Vol. Goddamn, I'm really feeling this. Your changes could not be saved.Please check your internet connection and try again. “1 listen album reviews are fucking up hip-hop.” –J.
I'm telling you this man is one of the smartest emcees around.
He has that same undeniable energy and the clever one-liners too. Honestly, I'll probably bump this more than Because The Internet. © 2020 The DJ Booth LLC.
Honestly, I listened to this one twice because the first time I was still freaking out over him rapping over "Go DJ."
As a general rule, I try to remain allergic to fronting, so what if we did something different? When YG speaks his truth and doesn't chase hits, 'STAY DANGEROUS' becomes an incredible portrait of the artist as a larger-than-life gangbanger. I saw the tracklist and thought, "There's no way he will actually rap over the 'Go DJ,'" but Gambino doesn't care. "Honestly, I'll probably bump this more than 'Because The Internet.'". Clubs Studios Airports 14.
What can we say? Although with Gambino being one of the more creative emcees around, I'm excited to see how he puts his own spin on it. E.Y.E.S. Playlists are available for members only. You could put this on a future EP and it would fit really well. Gambino blends trap with flanged R&B. I didn't really listen to Because The Internet that much (it was too abstract for my liking), but I could really see myself getting into this project.
I don't know how he did it, but he managed to create a trap tape that doesn't leave me with a headache.
This is some spoken word shit, too.
It's not his lane and he's better than anyone in it.
I think I like it (definitely way more than your typical cut like this) but I'm still hesitant.
Childish Gambino's Independence Day mixtape gift is here.
For a surprise Gangsta Grillz tape, I really dug this. Come on, like you've got anything better to do with your time. is an unforgettable experience from beginning to end. I'm loving this way more than I expected. More than two years after his new school classic "Oxymoron," Groovy Q is back with an album that's even darker and deeper.

I see what he's doing with this tape. DJ Triple Exe. Clearly he's going completely outside of his comfort zone and doing the whole ATL trap sound.
Sorry, had a mini freak out.
How many people could do a "Move That Dope" remix and an R&B track and have both be so fluid? In 2014, songs and albums emerge and are buried again beneath the digital waters at a torrential speed, and album review writers feel the need to keep up. As far as I can tell, every song is produced by Childish Gambino & Ludwig Göransson. Royalty Tracklist. GO MOTHERFUCKING DJ?!? It's like a mixtape if mixtapes weren't annoying. The bar is high.
His verse felt really short. It’s not nearly as catchy, but it’s true. Cole. High Life 6 (Hosted By Childish Gambino) DJ Steph Floss, DJ Shabazz. Even the DJ Drops on a Gambino tape are original. It's clear this isn't meant to be anything more than a fun project. I’m a huge Gambino fan, but to be honest I didn’t even know that any of those pre-Culdesac tapes existed until a year ago I think. I really didn't think he had enough bite to make this kind of thing work, but Gambino kills it.
Wait, isn't Magic City the pinnacle of ATL strip clubs? As someone who’s been reviewing albums on the internet since before the internet was THE INTERNET (aka 2006), I’ve watched the album review game change enormously. DJ MLK. Gambino is way better at this than he should be; kind of scary when you think about it.
The Passion Of R&B 129. That might be the realest shit Cole ever wrote, although I’d like to offer a small tweak: one-listen album reviews that pretend to be in-depth assessments of an album’s legacy and quality are fucking up hip-hop. It's nice to hear this kind of Gambino still exits. "Royalty" features extensive guest spots including School Boy Q, Ab-Soul, Ghostface Killah, RZA, Bun B, Danny Brown and more.
I put Lucas on the case. It's crazy how well he fits this style - I like this stuff infinitely more than any Quan or Thug track. It’s that lie, that one listen review masquerading as the definitive word, that’s fucking up hip-hop. Pusha's latest body of work feels more like a prelude to the album than the album proper. The energy and humor here are outstanding!
Also was Kari Faux on this more than Gambino? The Queen flexes her royal muscle on a surprise release you only need one listen to feel in your bones.
Beat goes though, that's for sure. Hit us with your first impressions of STN MTN too, and stay tuned for the follow-up review in a month.
While he doesn't even come close to touching Weezy, I feel like he would make Wayne proud.
DJ Slim K, Chopstars.
He has so much more command and power. He has some really great one-liners but what always bothered me was there was no cohesive feel; just a smattering of cool lines.
He's so much fun to listen to. What if I only wrote in questions? I'm just going to keep telling you he's one of the most diverse and unique emcees around until you believe me. Okay, I think I got the angle of this tape. Boom.
We aim to be less annoying than Skip Bayless, and I think we succeeded. Young Scooter?
Also, Gambino can really sing. What would the difference between the two reviews be? Childish Gambino. Gambino is light years ahead of Scooter, though. DJ Kutt Throat.
The word mixtape here is key. How good would our gut reactions turn out to be? Stream Tracks and Playlists from Childish Gambino on your desktop or mobile device. I was worried his voice would be too soft for some real trap shit, but I was wrong. Sadly, it comes a little too late. Wow. ... Glover decided to show he was a serious rapper, thus he released his sixth mixtape, Royalty, for free on July, 4th 2012. STN MTN / Kauai is the combined release of the seventh mixtape and second extended play (EP) by American recording artist Childish Gambino.. Childish Gambino - STN MTN Kauai Mixtape.
II, Sex Escapades 6 (Hosted By The Vixen Pinky), I Always Fvck Bitches On Thursdays (The Stripper), Strictly 4 The Traps N Trunks 59 (Hosted By Que), Ron Burgundy's Spring Break Playlist (Hosted By K Camp), Overstate Trappin 5 (Hosted By Trinidad James). I would rather have Gambino doing more of his damn thing than any input from this R O Y A L T Y fella, but he isn't bad. It’s a mixtape so the stakes are relatively low, and it’s Gambino so there will be at least some depth to make a follow-up review worthwhile.
Isn't that the dude who does stuff with Young Thug all the time?
Fuck, it's really hard to speak to all these records after one listen; they are so unexpected.
I never realized how much Wayne he has in him (pause).
I put Lucas on the case. It was like the internet rap version First Take, but instead of Skip Bayless yelling, you got Lucas rap nerding out over a "Go DJ" freestyle. MOTHERFUCKER IS CRAZY!!!!!!!
I have been listening to Freaks And Geeks Gambino a lot lately and this reminds me a lot of that Gambino.
Wish I could listen to this one again, but I'm not allowed. I feel like I would hate this kind of project normally, but something about Gambino makes it work.
