Going back to Camp doesn’t do much to shift me on this either. He’s a fun goofball who makes quite a bit of solid music, but there’s only so far that you can go like that, and it’s hard not to say exactly the same thing about the old CG. I like Aminé a lot, and you owe it to yourself to at least check out “Spice Girl” if you don’t know him, but liking Aminé comes with the fact that there’s a hard ceiling on what he’s ever going to become. In fact, as a rapper, he reminds me a lot of Aminé. He’s a little nasal and his emphases are too self-indulgent. His flow is fine, but honestly forgettable. Donald Glover has always been an easy person to like and that covers up for a lot, but the fact that it is Donald Glover rapping has always been the bit that most commands attention. It’s a hard thing to say, but I don’t think that Childish Gambino was ever that great at rapping. I strongly feel that leaving rap was the best thing Donald Glover could have done and I thought I would put down why. Karthik liked the album, but misses the old CG. We put up a review of the new Childish Gambino album a few months ago and it got me thinking.
