I Am Just a Rapper

Childish Gambino

Rapid-fire punchlines delivered over raw indie-rock samples. A lo-fi time capsule of 2010 internet culture recorded in a bathroom on a laptop microphone.

It's basically Troy Barnes rapping over your favorite 2010 indie blog tracks and it's surprisingly great.

A restless, clever, and unpolished burst of creative energy that captures the DIY spirit of the early 2010s internet.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The jarring contrast between the distorted Sleigh Bells guitar and Gambino's high-velocity delivery on the opening track.

The way the Grizzly Bear 'Two Weeks' piano riff provides a surprisingly soulful bed for a string of rapid-fire punchlines.

The lo-fi vocal bleed where you can hear the room acoustics of a bathroom recording session during the quieter Animal Collective loops.
