We see lots of people saying this isn't rap, it's risky, they don't like it, etc, etc. After all, rap has always been inspired by Funk and Soul music, using their samples over time. For me, Donald Glover is only going back to the roots and showcasing his versatility as well as good taste in music. One last thing, I believe he is going to reach a whole different set of audience with this album. Such as fans of Maxwell, Raphael Saadiq and so on. Well, I hope it's a good bet on his part!

yeah, its a real bummer. Its weird cause im seeing a lot of his more Rap oriented fans getting kinda upset. But a lot of them dont realized that R&B/Soul is where that all came from. And Gambino really captures that feel of classic R&B/soul. This is probably one of my favourite Albums at the moment. its just such a good turn for him.

Nah man, he's just tapping into the same influences as Andre 3000. Gotta look back further than that man, Andre didn't invent that style.

Yes he sounds just like Sly. The instrumentals do too. They (instrumentals) actually remind me of the Ohio Players for some reason.

Mick Schaum The Album name is Awaken, My Love. Not Pharos.

[@zxe1973]

Sidney Mosley what the fuck are you talking about this shits sounds like 1970 rock music childish Gambino is a rapper a rapper a fucking rapper fuck childish gambino

[@jumarmoffatt3924]

Forget everything you heard from Gambino before. All the rapping and funny lines. Forget it. Act as if this is a completely different person that you have never heard before, and I can almost guarantee that you will enjoy this album. I think we have this expectation of Because the Internet and Camp, and we try to make those the judging stick. Also, I think most people who enjoy Gambino's music are between like 16-30. So a lot of us aren't used to this kind of Funkadelic / Jimi Hendrix / Prince sound, because it's just not from our time. I had the luxury of parents always playing that music in my house but some don't. So I also suggest going back and listening to some old school funk and soul and rock from the 60s and 70s. I think it'll help appreciate this album even more. Because as a Gambino fan, I can honestly say that I love this more than his rapping. The whole sound and groove of this album is amazing. And Ik it's early but I think this might be my favorite album from him.

[@jujulachlan11]

jumar moffatt tru that

[@ongejuice3440]

jumar moffatt I guess you can say people don't like it...because the internet ;)

[@SpacemanOGLord]

Agree with your POV Jumar, Many rappers get scrutinized because all their music begins to sound the same. nothing by Gambino has really sounded the same since he came out. yea he got styles he pulled almost straight from the funk era, but i think its refreshing and unique to have his own interpretation. it makes me think this whole album was inspired by how well his fans received that interlude track on Because the Internet entitled "Urn" which i will listen to on repeat all day.

[@loggerhead837]

jumar moffatt that's what I've been doing lol. I just keep thinking "alright, he can still rap, but he can still produce good shit like this, so I'm fine"

[@chriswilliams2035]

jumar moffatt me in a nutshell, when i listened to the album the first time, i was disappointed due to the lack of rap. but once you shed the expectations of hearing him rap, give it a few more listens, the vibe will come then

[@lesleylawson6697]

I'm in love with his voice. you can really hear the emotion😩😩

[@hanoali3885]

Im a huge Gambino fan and I would be lying if I said I didnt hope for rap on this album, however I can definitely learn to appreciate his creativity in other forms besides rap. Still a beyond talented artist to me, regardless of what he does

[@XArchangelX86]

we need more people with your mindset tbh
