Childish Gambino (Donald Glover) - What's In My Bag?

[@WhoLeeOh93]

Okay so I have to share this story. 1:30 that's me in the glasses and black sweatshirt. I was in the hip-hop section and I turn around and see him. Couple minutes later he walks up to me and tells me where are the N.E.R.D vinyls. I showed him but they ran out. I told him I was a fan and he said thanks. So anyway, as I was leaving headed to the parking lot, I hear a honk and turn around. It was him and he told me thanks for taking the time to help. He's a really cool down to earth person.

[@nobodyburgen4594]

Oh my lord that‘s lovely

[@flylo7018]

What happened to your videos? Your desc says you make album reviews...

[@Kiwi_In_Japan]

Man, thanks for sharing. Hope you're all good nearly ten years later

[@BenSasser]

"Awaken, My Love" makes so much sense. This is crazy how much this video showed what was coming.

[@lonewolflolol8182]

Ben Sasser right I'm surprised he didn't did that earlier

[@lex.cordis]

There was so much funkadelic in that record.

[@diddykong5241]

Exactly. Everything, EVERY ALBUM he picked can be reflected somehow in Awaken, when he talks about Goblin and how he wanted to do some creepy stuff, dude, this is it

[@mrbobcr]

Even the "Awaken, My Love" album cover is sort of a homage to Maggot Brain.

[@killakam721]

I love the guy in the background who's been pretending to shop for almost the whole video even though he really just wants to be close to Donald.

[@buenogoodlive]

Noticed that too. The Guy with the glasses, right?

[@killakam721]

Yup!!!

[@danicastaneda3710]

me af

[@WhoLeeOh93]

killakam721 Haha that is actually me! It's kind of a funny story, prior to them filming I was digging in the rap section and he came up to me and asked me where the NERD records where. I guess he thought I worked there cuz I had a big stack of records but I ended up showing him and told him I am was a fan. Oh and I was totally pretending to shop just so I can be in the shot. I knew none of my friends would believe me and I didn't want to be a dick and ask him for a picture so I was just creppin in the background hoping they would catch me, guess it worked haha.

[@killakam721]

WhoLeeOh93 Lol, that's awesome. I would have done the same thing!!!

[@darkrisingmoonm.4414]

It actually blows me away how so many of these people they interview have such a unique and eclectic taste in music. It's awesome!

[@Fabo100]

well I think that's why they pick them, they know the their not going to get some common, ordinary artist who just picks the cliché popular/commercial shit...but I know what you mean, you would think someone would suck but everyone I've seen I find out about a new group, album, artist, etc.. Usually about a few of them are new because I myself am such a dedicated hip-hop head that it's almost taken way from exploring more genres, and I LOVE all types of music, I even have some country that I've liked and that's by FAR the worst genre in music imo. So these videos are always great for reference. Sry for the long reply, I just was thinking the same :)

[@clonetrooper1998]

it's even cooler when you look at their choices then start listening to how their sound is influenced by them, and you're like OOHHHHH so THAT'S where they get it from!

[@perri_6]

+Darkrisingmoon M. Awesome indeed! My bag would have all kinds of music: RnB, Funk, Hip-hop, K-Pop, Rock, Soul, Martini Lounge, African, Classical (I could go on.) And I can't forget Prince Rogers Nelson who did it all, and thus his music gets it's own genre: Prince.

[@thert.hon.thelordnicholson7261]

@@perri_6 wow that's amazing you're such a cool person who listens to different kinds of music, thanks for telling us all about it. you should get an award or something.

Thanks? Current interviews too or just the older ones in standard definition?

[@joshhring1074]

I'm mainly an underground metal fan but CB impresses me so much. I think it's awesome he grabbed the Goblin album and didn't see that coming haha

[@fbskier20]

i mean redbone is a revamped bootsy collins "i'd rather be with you"...this whole record i think was influenced by pfunk. all hail ludwig for bringing a fresh vibe

[@freshseafood3036]

well the entire album is a ripoff of maggot brain so yea

[@breakingbeatz]

This guy can rap, act, and has a great taste and knowledge in music. Already a legend.

[@makkein]

"In Search Of..." definitely a game changer. Personally I think all N.E.R.D. albums are top-shelf material.

[@IzuDubs]

it's so amazing that he used hit it and quit it by funkadelic in the most recent atlanta episode

[@whitetpoison]

Which episode? The bar scene?

[@IzuDubs]

Tanooki Topher the episode last week. when earns wife calls paper boi cause she smoked weed.

[@whitetpoison]

Lennart Cooks Oh shit, I remember now. That was tight.

[@TonyRedgrave1501]

His new album is basically a Funkadelic homage. "Riot" even features Eddie Hazel's guitar solo for the Funkadelic song "Good To Your Earhole" as the main sample. The singing on "Have Some Love" sounds totally inspired by "Can You Get To That". Even the artwork with the woman's face is kinda inspired by the artwork of "Maggot Brain".

[@johnnyappleseed65]

"Have some love" from his new record is definitely inspired by Can you get to that, from maggot brain.

[@seponatis3122]

he's so handsome wtf

[@DaneOwen91]

Wait, so there's actually someone called Dick Hymen?

[@BrothaVoodoo]

Yeah, I noticed that also. Too funny!

[@Pietruss]

Troy talking about Goblin just made my day

[@amoeba]

it's Rock Star by N.E.R.D, which is from their album In Search Of... Gambino also mentions Grindin by Clipse (which was a Neptunes production).

[@perccyturkey5149]

Do Tyler the creator!!!!!!!!!!!! get him please!

[@BennyVI]

Yes please

[@bleepbloop5960]

Should've got him on here in 2010 or something. He's too famous to do shit like this now

[@andjela7284]

He'd probably get Baduzim,Marshal Mathers,Fly or die,Voodoo,Hath no fury and In my mind and probably some Deathgrips.Just a guess

[@penske_material]

there's a Dave Grohl one... im pretty sure he's more famous than Tyler

[@JoshuaXRamey]

Earl got on here

[@toatsmagoats72]

i think he's a much better alternative artist than a rapper

[@toatsmagoats72]

As an avid hip hop fan, I just think his whole rapping style and content is super cheesy. Some of his more alternative/indie just seem so much more musically successful but his rap is definitely what has led to his mainstream success. also I think he already combines both styles on his albums. I think that he should separate both of his types of music completely...

[@andrewquinlan8685]

Samuel Walcoff have you listened to awaken, my love?

[@toatsmagoats72]

I haven't heard it yet but I heard it's worth a listen. I'll have to get around to it

[@marcobazan4187]

He's an average rapper at best much better singer and overall artist. I mean "Awaken, my Love" is by far his best album

[@garrettburton8413]

marco bazan you are very very wrong

[@DustinJames321]

N*E*R*D's In Search Of... is my personal all time favorite album. Funkadelic's Maggot Brain is a great album too.

[@colemanroberts6827]

"...that hasn't been touched by DJ Shadow" haha

[@AndrewJShirley]

I could listen to Donald talk like all day! Love him

[@isaiahhopkins917]

More respect now for him choosing Funkadelic and mentioning Eddie Hazel.

[@hazuinf]

You oughta listen to his new album then

[@isaiahhopkins917]

Hazuinf h I had planned to when i heard it on Spotify.

[@TonyRedgrave1501]

Like his father said Eddie Hazel is the best! That's why he sampled Eddie's guitar solo from "Good To Your Earhole" for his song "Riot".

[@isaiahhopkins917]

Hazuinf h I know I'm late but I forgot about this video today until I stumbled upon it again but I wanted to tell you I heard his album and I love it.

[@hazuinf]

That's cool, I've had it on so much since it came out, still enjoying it

[@joelakin1]

Genuinely impressed with his selection. Goblin was a great shoutout. Respect ✊

[@nellyluscious]

Aye Childish Gambino!! Great artist! I always liked his eclectic personality. So cool!!

It's interesting to come back to this video because you can clearly see how he was gaining influence for "Awaken, My Love!"

[@MrAlexisEscalante]

"I really wanna do something that sounds scary" He did it three years later when we got Awaken my love.

[@maxmargulies1900]

the first picture of eddie hazel is a picture of garry shider...shame on you!

[@amoeba]

max margulies You're right. Thanks for catching that.

[@vikd4292]

i loved all the music he used in his i am just a rapper mixtapes...got me into to a bunch of other artists

[@Funky_Duckling]

Maggot Brain truely is the best 10 minutes of guitar music ever made.

[@DeathmetalPersian]

Holy shit, he mentioned maggot brain and eddie hazel, my favorite guitarist and one of my most fave albums of all time, and then he fucking had a fucking kavinsky SYNTH WAVE OUTRO. Me and glover are on the same wavelength for real

[@stefano4170]

I'm Italian and our progressive scene was great! Childish Gambino knows italian music more than some italian artists,that's crazy

[@olliemartinelli4034]

Se guardi la puntata di Muschio selvaggio con Sick Luke, lui parla dei Goblin. Figo che ci sono artisti moderni Italiani che hanno una cultura musicale interessante. Sono pochi purtroppo, almeno tra i più famosi attualmente.

[@blakeborges6753]

The funny thing is, I bought my Childish Gambino album at this store like 5 years ago.

[@fnarvii1810]

YES. I love Goblin!

[@B.T.S129]

Do you know what video that was by goblin? It looked cool I wanna check it out but don't know what to look for. Thanks

[@Snaveltong]

I may not like his music, but damn, Glover is such a down to earth guy. He really knows where to find good samples too.

[@cyclonefury27]

The beat is sampled from a song by Kavinsky called "Nightcall". You can get it on a single, or his latest album Outrun. It featured prominently in the movie Drive (which was great) and is available on the soundtrack, along with some other great stuff.

[@dlower23]

Goblin! This dude is impossible not to like! Great choices all

[@NanookRubsIt259]

Yesss! Maggot Brain is so great. Atlanta had "Hit it and Quit it" on an episode so I figured he was a fan

Oh my God Donald looked at the Fugs section (0:12). I'm screaming. I love the Fugs and Gambino. The only other time I've fangirled like this was when Duran Duran held up the CD or Vinyl to Meet the Residents by the Residents; My favorite album of all time.

[@ebeaver15]

Props to Donald for being a fan of Goblin. I never would've guessed.

Grindin' wasn't on In Search Of... That's Clipse, Donald.

[@amoeba]

It's called "R.I.P." and it features Bun B. You can find it on Childish Gambino's "Royalty" mixtape.

[@Sasha_retro]

i feel like this was the warning for me and your mama like he was looking back at his videos and said "They'll never find out"

[@Fabo100]

I swear ever guy's biggest influence is our fathers. We love our mom the most and she's the one most of us get along with the most and go to for comfort, but our dad's are who we want to be, and because of it the music, movies, sports, and so many other things they like is often what we gravitate to. Thank god my dad has great taste, Godfather and part II, Scent of a Women, Unforgiven, My Cousin Vinny, Monty Python and The Holy Grail, Prince, MJ, Marvin Gaye, Bob Marley, Muddy Waters, these are the things my father loves and I am very grateful for his taste. I mean seriously look at all that greatest!! haha
