Editorial Reviews
At 27, Donald Glover is one of the most sought after multithreats in Hollywood, a former writer for the Emmy award winning 30 Rock, a network TV gig on the NBC hit series as Troy in 'Community', a few movies on deck, including the 'Muppets Movie' and 'The To-Do List', a sideline gig doing stand-up comedy, a Comedy Central script of his own in the works, and a career as a rapper, performing under the name 'Childish Gambino'.
Childish Gambino has emerged as one of the most exciting young talents in music. A unique blend of hip-hop with multiple genres, combined with lyrical genius, Gambino has gone from a viral cult following to a mega sensation. Childish Gambino has released two mixtapes, 'I Am Just A Rapper' and 'I Am Just A Rapper 2' and in 2010 released his first full length original material album entitled 'Culdesac' which received critical and public acclaim. In March 2011, Childish Gambino released an untitled EP that featured the hit 'Freaks and Geeks'. Most recently, Childish Gambino wrapped the sold out I AM DONALD TOUR and played to over 10,000 people at the Bonnaroo Music Festival and was listed as one of the top five acts to see by 'Spin Magazine'.

Heard about this first on NPR. As a young black male from the middle class, I never identified with the "ghetto" black hood guy, nor was I some affluent rich person. I was always just me. A guy who liked a little bit of everything. Yet always felt the same degree of ostracism from both groups, blacks and whites. Yeah, the lyrics of this guy may not be on the same plain of established fulltime rappers but his his message is the realest I've ever heard in the genre. Cop it. Support this type of rap. That can uplift, relate, and inspire, while still being catchy, provocative and edgy.

Man, I've known Donald Glover has been rhyming for a while under this monicker, but I wasn't immediately ready to see what it was about, kind of just writing it off as another actor trying to go into another area they don't belong.
Man, I was super wrong. This is one of the best hip hop albums of the year. This is the first time I've ever written a review for anything on Amazon, that's how much it compelled me to sing it's praises. It's funny, heartfelt, genuine, and hard as nails with some of the bars he spits. I was honestly shocked at his rhyme skills and then to find out he produced the entire thing? Crazy. Nothing but praise for this project.

Camp is hands down the best hip-hop album of 2011. It's so different from the standard hip hop album (which usually consists of 2 good songs between 10 awful tracks). Each track is extremely well produced, with diverse beats and intense lyrics.
The overall flow of the album is excellent. It feels as though it is telling a loose story, with the monologue at the end of the final track being a fitting conclusion to the album.
In conclusion, if you are looking for something unique and heartfelt, buy this album! You will not regret it!

After each listen I'm like "this album gets better and better!"
I didn't know what to expect from the dude from Community but I definitely didn't expect this level of skill! He's a damn funny comedian but his true talent lies in music! Read more

Haunting, complicated details of an outsider who grew up, got to work, and became a player. Only it's not so easy for him to reconcile his new status with his old one. Read more

Fantastic album! It took a couple of listens for a couple of the songs, but the album is fantastic. Don't expect the same "Troy" from "Community," but if you've listened to his EP,... Read more
