I personally like Childish Gambino a lot. I didn't really like his earliest works I AM JUST A RAPPER (1 and 2)/Poindexter, but then again, most people didn't. I don't listen to too much rap, so for someone like me, he's good to listen to because he says a lot of stuff that I can relate to (movies/tv). I'm seeing him live for the second time in a few months, the first time was awesome because it was the I Am Donald tour which was half Donald Glover standup (which is awesome) and half Childish Gambino rapping. I've listened to his EP dozens of times and I like his newest album a lot too, with the exception of a few songs. He just takes some getting used to I guess.
My favorite songs are Not Going Back, Bonfire, Sunrise, and All The Shine from his newest stuff.
I like him as a MC, thought it was unusual when he rapped over songs with the lyrics still in them, but I love the lyrics he uses in his raps now.
