Tyler the Creator, Childish Gambino, etc?

Season 4 of Community was all right, but things went downhill after that. In the last season, he was there on and off, but he mostly left the show for his rapping and other stuff. I can't blame him and I'm glad he's making music.

Gambino fan here. Not a big Tyler fan though. Too weird for my taste. It's weird seeing Donald Glover (Gambino) rapping sometimes though, kind of like how it was weird seeing him on Community/Standup when all I knew him from before was the bro rape video.

Dat Gambino

[thekraken]

I don't listen to Tyler but I do listen to Childish Gambino. Gambino is awesome and I listen to his tracks over and over again on repeat. He's the first guy to get me interested in rap/ hip hop. It's a shame that he left Community but he wants to focus on his career, which I understand.

The first time I saw Donald Glover was on a standup special, before I had ever heard his music. He was super funny.. Then my wife found Camp and I really liked how different it was.. I like intelligent rap with references to different types of things.. Tyler is a little TOO out there for me though...

Tyler is cool but Childish Gambino is someone I've just never liked or understood. I'm not sure I want any parts of that.

Not a fan of Tyler but did like Yonkers. Childish Gambino is one of my favorite rappers out there. Forget that he dissed Kendrick, Schoolboy Q and DRAKE. He really has this unique flow and makes all kinds of music like Hip-Hop and R&B songs that sound smooth and really make you wanna jam to it. Because the Internet to me in my opinion, was a very bad album. He did have good ones like Telegraph Ave. and Pink Toes, etc.. But he really made some of the songs uncomfortable to listen to.
But Camp. Jesus that was a great LP.

Guys like Tyler and CG are great for when you just want to chill out at a party, but personally I don't much like listening to them when I'm alone.

Tyler the Creator is a GREAT artist. His music had grown on me

[Askanison]

I love community! Donald Glover is hilarious. I have only seen clips of his childish gambino shows though. Tyler is good but so out there.

[Strykstar]

Don't really know Tyler the Creator, but I'm a big Childish Gambino fan, even love him on Community. Very talented guy indeed.

Tyler is too strange for my taste. I am not into that style of rap.

I like a small amount of the songs Tyler the Creator does, however i am more of a fan of Childish Gambino. I definitely think his music is different, he got that real flow going on for him. I want to see him come back and really take the industry by storm.

Odd Future is like the new D12.

I really like them.

I think the subgenre you're referring to in your post is called backpack rap. I really dig Childish Gambino's flow, style and rap IQ. It's a thing of beauty. I haven't really gotten into Tyler the Creator to listen to much of his songs.

Yeah, I'd say that I like Gambino over Tyler as far as lyrics and style go. I don't know how big he can become in the industry, but I don't think his ceiling is too low. He might go pretty high.
