As all you alt-rap fans know, “Community’s” Donald Glover has a music career under the name of Childish Gambino. Following the success of Gambino’s EP, we now have a video for “Bonfire” (embedded below), the first release from his full-length debut, Camp, which drops November 15th. (Did I say that right? “Drops”? I’m told that’s how the cool people talk about album release dates.) I’m not exactly a Childish Gambino expert, but I like the video for “Bonfire” better than his video for “Freaks and Geeks” but not as much as the fan-made “Community” version of “Freaks and Geeks.”
Anyhoo, I know this isn’t exactly the best fit under “TV news,” but this is the best I can do to avoid the news that Kim Kardashian’s divorce is designed to get better ratings for her show and make the Kardashian “brand” wealthier. Thanks, but I’d rather write about someone who has a modicum of discernible talent.

Just found my new soundtrack to life.
I love Childish Gambino even though, as one of my friends pointed out, most of his songs could be re-titled “I HAVE SEX I HAVE SO MUCH SEX WITH MY GIANT PENIS BELIEVE ME YOU GUYS SO MUCH SEX.”
In other news, please go back and read my old Uproxx posts, all of which I have helpfully re-titled “HERE ARE 90S REFERENCES AND GIFS YOU GUYS”
So big ol’ titties don’t count as a talent anymore? ! I thought this was Amuurrrica!
The only “Kardashian brand” I want to hear about is when we finally round up that entire family and sear the words “attention whore” on their foreheads with a branding iron.
If you go to MTV.com you can enter your age to hear the unedited song/view the video. The radio edit of this song sort of illustrates DGs point.
I’m always disappointed that he doesn’t rap under the name “Disco Spider.”
Needs more Alison Brie.
The uncensored version is on Youtube too. Apparently, he engages in sexual intercourse quite a bit.
I think he sounds like he’s doing an impression of Junior High School Kanye West.
And I’ll keep saying that every time Childish Gambino is brought up.
Not to be a buzzkill, but this new album is his debut on a label; Dong Lover has three other albums already under his belt.
Everyone should check out Culdesac, the previous one:

Django Unchained parodies are coming in pretty early, huh?
I only came here because I thought you were insulting regular Gambino.
Is that screenshot from Roots?
/wrong!
His music is pretty dope. Yes alot of the time he raps about getting girls and how his dick is an elephant that doesn’t forget but he is a skillful lycrist.
If I had a dick like an elephant and could get all kinds of girls I’d rap about it all the time too…and probably not post on the internet quite so much
