Who's the better creative genius?: Childish Gambino or Tyler the Creator

[Fanservice]

Tyler easily shyts on Glover musically. Remember hearing “This is America” with my lil cuz in the car and was confused why people was loving it so much. He wasn’t saying shyt and miss me with the, “you have to watch the video to get it” shyt

Even the video is trash. Only showed black people in a negative light. Didn’t show any cacs doing mass shootings or cac cops harassing black people or anything.

Right here....easy pick for me.

Gambino takes more risks, I just prefer Tyler, seems more authentic

PLEASE explain this

How does he take more risks than Tyler?

Both are talented as hell and great at what they do but i gotta give it Tyler. Started producing for himself, self learned pianist, started a whole rap group, was the leader and driving force behind it, something different with every album, funny tv show with loiter squad, very good skateboarder, has a very successful fashion line, own festival"Golf Wang", helped push Earl and Frank and the internet to a wider audience, continues to evolve and grow.

Wolf Hayley for the win.

I never heard of CG being such a biter, but you make a strong case

You were in denial then

He was a shameless Wayne clone. Specifically Wayne's Carter 3-4 era flow

Been binging on Atlanta again the past couple days

I prefer bino but what Tyler has done since he started is crazy

 

[Reptile]

I liked Zealots Of Stockholm, and Yaphett Kotto. I can also appreciate the hilarity of him putting Alley Boy and Tina Fey on a song together



The rest of that shyt is token nikka Wayne mimicking trash to me. I can't even listen to it. And Awaken My Love is cool, but it's too much mimicry to take seriously

This shyt is corny

This shyt is corny

Everything he does is corny tho I just happen to like 3 songs out of a corny ass catalogue

nikka is a corn cube. His corniness has an exponent. Cant stand that nikka. His stand up is trash and all.

For those of us who've f*cked with both of their music since day one, there is no way that Gambino is even close to being as creative as Tyler.

Tyler has been self-producing himself since B*stard. He created a whole lane for himself and his crew, and makes music that he wants to make, that literally doesn't sound like anything else out there. No two albums of his sound alike. The whole OF movement was dope, and also branched off into other dope factions, like The Internet, Earl, Domo Genesis, Matt Martians, Frank Ocean, Steve Lacy, etc. All of that started with Tyler. Dude is super slept-on as a producer, and has continued to evolve as an artist too.

I like a decent amount of Gambino's sh*t, but if we're being honest, he's made a career of cloning sounds and artists that came before him. He spent years trying to mimic everything Drake was doing, then he switched to stealing from Sly and The Family Stone and Funkadelic. Literally having all-white bands replaying their old sh*t and repackaging it as his own "soul music". He went through a period of trying to rap like Wayne too. And stole the whole concept for "This is America", including damn near the title, from some unknown dude who did it way before, and had called it "Made In America", lol. And got sued for it.

He's an actor. And actors who end up trying to make music, tend to be great mimics. His entire music career has been just that. Taking sounds, styles and formats from other artists, and trying to make it his own. There's nothing "genius" about that. Or creative. It's just blatant biting. Problem is, people tend to look the other way now when people bite. But the sh*t is still corny.

Yeah Gambino was on some bullshyt with that one:
