Tuesday marked the release of Childish Gambino’s Camp, and I have really been digging Donald Glover’s work on this record so far. If you know anything about Glover (he’s an actor on Community, he’s a comedian, and he wanted to be Spider-man) you probably know what to expect from his album, deep lyrics, big beats, and lots of references to his dick. Well Camp follows through on all those expectations and then some, you should definitely check it out on Spotify (or whatever you use to stream music) and then buy it and then go see Childish Gambino and then stalk Donald Glover in real life.
Here’s a few lyrics that made me chuckle the first few times through Childish Gambino’s Camp:
“And you is a fake fuck, like a fleshlight” - “Firefly”
“Made the beat then murdered it, Casey Anthony” - “Bonfire”
“My dick hard like an accent mark, it’s all about the over E’s” - “Bonfire”
“I’m going straight for your thighs like the cake you ate” - “Heartbeats” (which is probably the best overall song on the record, that beat is amazing!)
“They real black like won’t show up on your camera phone” - “Backpacker”
“I guess meet me at Pianos/cross-fadin’ off of nanos/ugh on that hipster shit” - “L.E.S.”
“She got ironic tattoos on her back/that ain’t ironic bitch, I love Rugrats” - “L.E.S.”
“The only thing I put before me is do re” - “Kids”
“She got an ugly friend? Roll solo/Can I stay at your place? No hobo” - You See Me”
“Donald Glover, no relation/Always workin’, no vacation/They couldn’t feel me, no vocation” - “Sunrise”
