I think the issue with a lot of Donald's work is that he sets up a lot of dots for the audience without connecting them. This leads the audience to do the connecting themselves and can have everyone arguing over random things that were/weren't intended in his art. I think Donald tried his best to say everything he possibly could about the internet and then try to squeeze all those thoughts into the album, screenplay, clapping for the wrong reasons, live tour etc. But this left us with a lot of "unfinished" points making the audience connect them. All this to say that I think Because The Internet touched so many different ideas, but didn't complete all of them, that's why people don't give it the credit Donald thinks it deserves.

But one can argue that that's the point of art. Art is not about telling people how to feel. It's about giving audiences to tools to figure it out on their own. The problem with this era of millions of KZbin "explanation" videos is that it leaves no room for personal interpretation. How you feel about an artist's work can be drasticaly different than the artist--that's fine. Because you're supposed to draw in your own personal experiences when consuming someone else's work.

I'm not saying Gambino is correct, but you could arguably make the case it speaks to the culture of anxiety and detached apathy affecting a demographic similar to the one the artist grew up as. It also wouldn't be out of character of Donald Glover for this to just be a troll to provoke people. Just a thought.

If he's saying BTI is to rap, as OKC is to prog rock, maybe that makes sense (though in terms of influence, hell no), but there's no way of knowing. By leaving the latter comparison out, it's like you said, literally 1000 ways to dissect. its almost meaningless.

BTI is great. To me, it’s in the pantheon of records like Blond, Igor, KSG, Circles, etc. where you hear it and immediately think that the person making it set out to make the best album of all time to them. Those are always my favorite records. It’s the kind of album that someone says “got them through high school/college”. I think you can debate which records are better (like, clearly Blond and Igor and Fantasy are all better musically) but just that immediate impact that lends itself to years worth of nostalgia can’t go unnoticed.

I don't exactly know on what grounds they're similar. It's much easier to see MBDTF and Yeezus as the OK Computer and Kid A, respectively, of the rap catalogue, given the huge stylistic shift. An artist culminating one era of their discography with a critically acclaimed record, and starting a new one with a polarizing, stripped down, genre-bending, and innovative new one. Seems like Donald Glover is just making a comparison based on the themes of both albums, but there are lots of other artists who've touched on the same subjects.

Its his own work and he's proud of it, not everything an artist says is making a grand statement it was just an interview question that was made a headline. Hes an artist and respects good art, he's often used comparisons to other works to describe his own, not in an egotistical way, but just to describe how he sees it. Art is obviously subjective and he can't/isn't making the statement that the album is literally as great as Ok Computer he just uses the comparison to help describe the kind of vibe he thinks the album has in his eyes

From a musical standpoint I agree but BTI is more than just the music, it has a screenplay that it underscores, videos, all the performances and interviews that glover did in that time, the entire rollout was an experience. When you take that into consideration there is mich more substance to be found, the whole thing makes more sense. Thats why I think he is right in saying that it was very new and different to what had been done before. It just hasn't been imitated much because its so much work

BTI to me is a better version of Camp. The amount of effort he put into it is amazing (despite the story being jumbled here and there) it still has that left over cringy Camp delivery but it doesn't really bring it down for me too much. I think if you are a Donald Glover fan you might consider BTI one of the best albums of last decade whereas if you're someone like me who likes some of his material/casual listener you might simply consider it a good/ok album.

I remember at the time Camp being pretty awful. It felt like the culmination of Glover desperately trying to emulate Kanye. Whereas I think Because The Internet felt like he was moving away from that and I think he was starting to find a place that he can belong to as an artist. However, I think his attempts to be considered an "ARTIST" a la Prince rather than simply a rapper has led him to go up his own ass from time to time. I really didn't like his last album. Felt a bit too try hard.

@@quietman208 Camp is just a bad album. even if I were to ignore the corny punchlines and racism my main problem with it is how poor his delivery is along with not sounding good when rapping at all. It's like if you got someone from your school who could rap well to do an album but they never really sound professional or now how to carry themselves on a hip hop track. I think the people who still love this album either have big nostalgia for it, it got them into hip hop and never compared it to other hip hop albums, or they haven't really sat down and listened to it in years; even in this interview Donald doesn't like it all that much saying that it's more there for novelty reasons rather than being good. Even if you saying that its an album of it's time I'd bring up Section 80, Sideline Story, or even Goblin to an extent and you'll see that those albums still sound nice after all these years (maybe not so much with Goblin) whereas Camp sounds the least professional out of all of them and the funny part is that those are some of those artists' first major projects as well.
