Childish Gambino - 3.15.20 (March 22, 2020) / Atavista (May 13, 2024) Album • Page 21

It was almost exactly like it

 

Ummm he's posting a lot of new stuff on Instagram, go look

 

He signed a deal with Adidas.

 

He was giving away free pairs at coachella. Definitely my style.

 

I like how the ad is just him being roasted for 6 minutes lol

 

Childish Gambino Shares Unreleased Song “Algorhythm” in AR App | Pitchfork

 

he's gunna make me move AND groove?!

 

Where is this album? I feel like we have been teased for so long.

 

Yeah at this point the teasing has been going on way too long, especially without a proper single dropped

 

maybe itll come out around when Lion King drops..? thats his next big thing

 

I need this soon. Awaken, My Love has quickly risen to my favorite albums of all time.

 

He was on Kimmel tonight promoting Lion King and Jimmy asked him about Gambino coming to an end and Donald seemed really hesitant to answer, he said he'll probably keep doing shows and he really loves making music... so maybe he's rethinking things!!!

 

I just want a proper version of Saturday. I have live rips of the SNL performance and the Guava Island version, but I need the real deal.

 

Saw him last night, confirmed it would be one of the last Childish Gambino shows.

Holy crap though, he was downright incredible. Whole show, from the performance, production, band and audience interaction was fantastic. One of the best shows I've been to. Dropped a new song midway through, sounded good.

 

Holy shit he’s gonna be on a song with Jay-Z and Beyoncé on the Lion King album

 

Just crunched a few numbers and this may be the equation you're looking for to figure this out:

(1) No. 1 song +
(2) Top 10 albums +
(multiple) Golden Globe wins +
(multiple) Emmy wins +
(multiple) Grammy wins +
(multiple) Other prestigious awards +
Time spent on a cult television show +
Literally Lando Calrissian
___________________________________________
= Very much big amounts of popularity

 

Yea, he definitely reached star status a while ago so it hasn't really felt sudden. He's been pretty well known since Because The Internet in 2013. It's fair to say "This Is America" bumped him to superstardom though.

 

Redbone was huge before This Is America

 

He had minor hits for a while, then Redbone blew up, then a few years later This is America took him to another level.

 

Your original question wasn't about quality though, it was "when did he get so big?" He's been big for years now.

 

Star Wars is about the biggest franchise in the world... Atlanta is extremely well regarded and has run for 3 seasons already, he's just a rising star that keeps rising

 

looks like a lot of people already answered the question quickly ha

 

I get that a lot of his older stuff is corny, but I really think his progression as an artist has been cool to see. I feel like by the time Awaken My Love dropped he had won over a lot of doubters... you’re not a fan of that album I’m guessing?

 

You're implying that quality equals popularity. Regardless of the quality of some of his earlier work (I also don't really like his rap focused work either), it spawned some hit singles.

 

Yeah, I also think the fact that he’s been able to have genuinely huge success across multiple mediums has been a big part of it. There’s not many entertainers out there currently who can match him in terms of versatility.
