Similar to Frank Ocean, Gambino trades in the in-your-face bars for R&B escapism. One listen to “Pink Toes” and it’s clear that (like many of us) Childish Gambino was reveling in a post- Channel Orange world. “Pink Toes” ( Because The Internet, 2013) And among the signature outrageous lyrics, Gambino gets cocky while targeting his competition: “’Man, why does every black actor gotta rap some?’ I don’t know, all I know is I’m the best one.” 15. And that he does: “Bonfire,” the lead single from Camp, finds the rapper channeling his inner Lil Wayne as he unleashes his head spinning version of “A Milli.” There’s only a single chorus that cuts through Gambino’s flow, which is so aggressive that you could envision his face going red in the booth. In celebration of Gambino’s debut EP turning 10 on March 8th, we present a ranking of our favorite songs.Īs soon as the sirens begin, you know Gambino is about to go off. And he’s done this all while creating an entertainment empire, from his hit FX series Atlanta to most recently securing a multi-year deal with Amazon Studios. He’s presented heavy-hitting social and racial commentary, reveled in romance, channeled his inner ‘70s funk master, and became the king of the summer season. There are many sides to Gambino, each revealing themselves in a thrilling manner equal to unlocking the next level to your favorite video game. Pretty soon though, he unleashed more skills, showing that he could sing just as smoothly as his bars. He wholeheartedly embraced his nerdy side in a rap climate that was run by the streets. Starting off his multi-faceted career in comedy (he worked as a writer for 30 Rock and starred as Troy Barnes in Community), he quickly but seamlessly transformed from Donald Glover The Actor to Childish Gambino The Rapper with the 2011 release of his debut EP (aptly titled EP).
