Childish Gambino Freestyled About Herpes And ‘Community’ Over Drake’s ‘Pound Cake’

It’s been so long since the last episode of Community was on, or so it seems, that when the show returns, it’s going to be weird seeing Donald Glover as the happy-go-lucky, cookie-eating, mouse-serenading Troy Barnes that we fell in love with as hard as he did LeVar Burton. It’s been a Childish Gambino fall, with tales of Instagram sadness and hipster wet dreams, and it’s going to continue into the winter with Because the Internet.

Earlier this week, Gambino dropped by Sway in the Morning to hype the album and freestyle over Drake’s “Pound Cake.” It tackles crises both universal (“You know, cause like, people say money’s not everything/But money, you need money to do what you wanna do”) and personal (“Are you still on the show? Are you dating Jhené?”), with some toilet jokes in there, too (“Ice cold but you know I burn cash like I had herpes.”) It’s damn good.
