Downloaded the album, haven't listened to any of his old sh*t.

It's pretty good. Reminds me a lot of Kid Cudi.

I came late to this Childish Gambino party. I paid him no attention, based off his name alone.

Never heard anything from him until this record. But im glad I got this. Its dope. Any recommendations on past work?

Culdesac is dope as well and worth a listen, though he still rhyming like Wayne a bit. Alot of great songs, this is when he started finding his own voice.

EP & Royalty are my favorites of his other projects. Camp is the worst.
matter of Opinion. and while I'd say that after the first four or five tracks the rest are lacking, in order to fully grasp Gambino and Donald's rapping persona, Camp is a necessary listen

I really like this album, but I think the screen play sucks. It's purposefully vague throughout with random ass scenes that only loosely tie together. There's no real message or plot, and it's not written particularly well. The only thing I really found redeemable is that the protagonist's personality and general indifference is a very good portrayal of (some) kids who grew up in this internet age.

I thought that was the point.

On top of the materialism and YOLO lifestyle. Essentially the character was another version of Holden

Ok, the USB that comes with the Record. Is the Live Vegas "life is beautiful fest"[have not listen to the whole thing yet it is 1hr] and a rough "What Kind of Love" cut. Plus the script, and a 80's poster for the album.
