This is the sweetest Yo Mamma joke ever.

Take 900 ayyy I saw your comment on the other songs 😂 we so early

[@darruwon1785]

Ikr but I like him as my dad so no worries

[@bigballerj1911]

Has it watered your crops?

[@Rohrschach88]

lassy grd so sege😂

[@adventurebrozz]

This is so beautiful because we all know it's about him meeting the love of his life, but there are no lyrics, so instead we are left to interpret everything ourselves, so we each think about how we met the loved one in our life, imagining the smiles, laughs, even singing to this song as if there were lyrics, this is all for love, we can decide how he met your momma or " our momma " in the perspective of the child

[@TheTinyTimmyTimTim]

I am Kazzam don't dislocate your shoulder reaching that far.

[@JohnDoe-dh8xc]

TheTinyTimmyTimTim That ain't reaching, music can speak for itself without a singer. Sure it isnt as immediate to your mind as lyrics might be, but music does communicate ideas if you sit and listen to it rather than you place it in the background while doing other such this as daily chores and activities. Try actively listening to something that doesn't have lyrics. You might find your enjoyment of the music is elevated.

[@DatsBoCrapp]

Well, Glover is expecting his first child, so this could be dedicated to him/her.

[@MsDeeDeeBaby]

DatsBoCrapp His girlfriend had the baby already. Earlier this year.

[@DatsBoCrapp]

Oh cool

[@Platinum742]

These songs are 10x better when I think about them being for his son, and imagining him growing up listening to these.

[@nickscavok4914]

chef is that you ?

[@souldigger3D]

It's like he reached into his heart and dropped this album on a plate for us all and said "bone apple teeth."

[@Blaqdalia24]

Sick Sad World this comment🍖🍎👄 ............ love.

[@AdventureShock]

Sick Sad World That's Exactly What Happened

[@Blaqdalia24]

wha? how's that offensive? just shut up and enjoy the vibes man.

[@souldigger3D]

but that's offensive actually there's a lot of variations to that like "blonde amputee," or "bone anvil cheek."

[@Fuziontony123]

[@Guey98]

bro its 3:30 in the morning for me, niggas trying to sleep and you go ahead and drop an album

[@xvictoriax8421]

Francisco Olivera you are not alone

[@LorenzoDoesntExist]

It was dropped at 12 on Spotify.

[@navecamnedia]

Francisco Olivera "they gon find you, gon catch you sleepin"

[@PRENTERII]

[@Guey98]

CallMeINFiNiTi i know bro, but how could i with a new ablum out

[@x23rdsfinestxj19]

he said nothing, but spoke volumes...

[@manoneal1724]

The Funkadelic influence is ALL over this.

[@Aileonz_Redeemed_]

Man O'Neal Along with Sly....

[@manoneal1724]

enoielaiei I think the Sly influence shows itself on "Baby Boy".

[@erikarhughes]

Man O'Neal definitely funkadelic

[@RALPHYL67]

Man O'Neal Don't forget about Parliament...! ✊🏽

[@discostench]

Parliament and Funkadelic, though made up of the same core members and George at the helm, made diversely different albums. track right here, with that dripping wet, sexy guitar is very, very Funkadelic.

[@isaiahbrazil]

This actually sounds like a song that would play to a montage of two people falling in love. Thats why i fuck with this song so much. The choir, the guitar, the little xylophone melody, the solo how it gets more intense as it goes on? Great instrumental track

[@DrinkmoWater.]

Say it then!

[@gearbear1351]

It's called a Glockenspiel

[@DavidSilva-nw3sd]

Amen to that, this song goes just perfectly

[@FoxyChariot]

Maybe the solo represents the intensity (maybe like some arguments based on how it growls in the middle) but eventually it fades back into the same sweet melody.

[@3l6uat3]

The solo still gets me after all this time lol

[@rxklastz1770]

I'm gonna listen to this for the next 6 years just watch me come back.......

[@thesolospot5716]

[@Rusticpoptart]

Before the music cuts on tho, there'd be that old record sound when you start it up

[@Shikuretto746]

[@frenchoffry]

Son, this, is how I met your' mother

[@SmoothLikeSade]

I need this album on vinyl

[@brandonturley13]

Yes.

[@thomass.5269]

agreed

[@thomaslaforest3309]

i have buy that is awesome

[@Coopermcfaden]

I just got it today

[@634robin]

Best decision to get it

[@franciskane]

So cool of him to put his whole album on KZbin. Makes me want show support and buy it.

[@randumbbeats7588]

Tony Osha do it

[@BenjerminGaye]

most artist do that. KZbin still makes them money like any streaming service.

[@Dddddddassss]

Tony Osha I pre ordered on iTunes Cop it fam

[@PkmKitty]

he did that because he didnt make a lot of album sales this is the last straw to earn money of this somewhat bad album.

[@kenzmoho9190]

bad? why do you think this album is bad?

[@jarodquimson7376]

Ya'll better recognize gary clark jr on that guitar solo

[@RoachesPokemon]

Jarod Quimson yess :))

[@caaaaaammy_g]

dont know him but I appreciate him

[@delmaruqualla4189]

Crying. This song makes me feel like I'm falling in love

[@krizzup99]

Gaby

[@noeliahernandez7655]

I fell in love with my first and this was our song

[@ohioface]

This song reminds me when I met this girl, we spent all night talking and talking. It was something, she is special. We broke up about 7 month ago, and this song makes me think things like "what if". Oh boy, I miss her.

[@DrinkmoWater.]

It's not too late jimmy go out there and hit her with the "Hey .. bighead ;)" anyways hope y'all talk at least b

[@edrenp21]

If you don't mind me asking, why did y'all break up?

[@saromohammed8882]

Call her boy!! Just do it and don't think about what will happen next!

[@gapelle7867]

Hit her up, and tell her how you feel.

[@cumwater]

Everything happens for a reason, maybe she wasn’t the one

[@Floyd1138]

This is a gospel choir meets western cowboys meets sci fi epic blues riff solo, FUCK YEAH, THIS MAKE MY LIFE GOOD

[@tannertortorella7581]

I was just vibing towards the music and I didn't even notice that I was 3 minutes into the song with no words

[@dstxb]

Tanner love it when that happens

[@tierra5760]

childish gambino has really given me life with this album this music year has been amazing

[@ElpSmith]

[@DZZLL]

probably my fave track tbh

[@Yeshellothisisshe]

This song just reminds me of the phrase “I love you more than words can describe”

[@angelcaperton8768]

Thinking about his son getting older and listening to this song makes me want to cry😭😭and plus it being called "the night me and your mama met" is even better

[@rosewashington8018]

I didn't think about that, that's a good way of looking at the song

[@simonrsf444]

Kids, in the fall of 2016, Gambino had just dropped the album of the year

[@Niceri98]

more like of the decade bro ;)

[@kaseyrussell2604]

The Night Me and Your Mama Met - Live Lyrics [Verse] I used to play the fool all by myself It used to make me feel real good I used to eat my food all by myself I used to do the dishes too I used to break your heart all by myself I used to be the only one around [Hook 1] Be yourself, there's no understanding something that happened that night Be yourself, there's no understanding, no no no There is no understanding, no [Guitar Solo] [Hook 2] Be yourself, there's no understanding something that happened that night Be yourself, there's no understanding, no There is no understanding Be yourself, there's no understanding, no No understanding what happened that night, baby Be yourself, there's no understanding, no Oh, there is no With you, with you

[@eddievasquez3287]

That's amazing

[@DJFULLMOON]

Thank you for this!!!

[@MrInfinity97]

This song really takes you through all his emotions he was feeling when he met the love of his life and it translates it through music. Beautiful, beautiful music.

[@dontaeakines8941]

It all makes perfect sense now..he made this album for his son, not us. Fucking genius

[@MLKDEAD]

we just have to hope his sons understand how much of a musical genius there dad is

[@Xrocko246]

[@MegaRj18]

This song deserves to be heard nowhere else but a chill nd relaxing place with some blunts (keep it natural ppl) don't do drugs

[@austinbentley9095]

I swear this album is the musical embodiment of chill.

[@Shmaef]

One of the best tributes to Funkadelic ever. That and John Frusciante's "Before the beginning". Donald Glover, I'm falling in love with you more every second.

[@mantistoboggan5171]

and nobody knows this!

I don't hear words I can only assume my mother is pregnant

[@yungbruh3352]

I can imagine this being a beautiful music video

[@sentientmlem727]

Never listened to anything by Childish Gambino in my life until I heard this album. I am now realizing how much I have been missing out....

[@oddloop9860]

Connor Raabe he's a artist in it's truest sense.

[@Groundeyes]

I'm so glad someone is channeling this vibe in this age. This guy is proper. This feels real, it's not image, it's not imitation it's doesn't feel forced or put on, his vocals on this album are on point and does justice to the energy. This is fucking gold.

[@vilnv]

What's up with Gambino talking about my Mama in his album?

[@josephwamulume323]

I was thinking the same thing LoL

[@dheerajkalidasan4871]

His son's mother since he addresses it to his son.

[@dariantoureene475]

[@fredrickdingledoe7748]

Im not Gambinos son?????

[@SXS_-yv1wb]

gambino got a kid? wwwwhhaaaaaa

This song just makes me want to have a child so we can run around in fields of flowers and happy shit, just to make a video with this song in the background.

This has got to be one of the most iconic albums ever, this track in particular. It reaches me to my soul.

[@nzingahammonds-wyatt41]

I think we can all agree this album is legendary

[@makkietakkie]

Amongst the best of this year most def. Might even be growing towards one of my favorite records of the century already, I'm digging it so much, nothing but moving vibrations

[@JohnKkim96]

The lyrics in this song are so deep

[@girlwhotf0]

no but for real tho

[@repobirdies4394]

my unborn will be conceived to this. facts

[@No1understandsme]

This reminds me of Pink Floyd's "great gig in the sky". Thought the whole vocalizing over a track couldn't be done. This is magical

[@jacklarue7049]

If you’ve not heard Maggot Brain by Funkadelic (the song that originally inspired this awesome song) check it out. You will hear how heavily influenced by Eddie Hazels guitar and George Clinton’s production he is.

[@serenityhatesyou5553]

I'm literally listening to all 9 of these in the dentist office lobby. That's how much this means to me. 😩

[@iamsquidzy]

It's hard to encapsulate what this song does for me.

[@mieshiadyches]

I understand that it's 4:30 am and I have a job interview tomorrow....I'm so okay with that

[@Cin3mattic]

Mieshia Dyches with vibes like this with gambino u gonna kill that interview

[@yoshatabi]

This song is too beautiful. My emotions are all over the place....

[@alimfar6206]

Damn, I fell in love with someone back in 2016 the same time this record came out. We listened to the whole thing while enjoying ourselves on psychs and here I am five years later without him missing what I felt back then. The feeling of home, how I could perfectly fit next to his neck when we hugged, and just simply everything we experienced during those five years. I thought he was the one, but in retrospect I am better off without him. Sad to see all that time "wasted" (even tho I know it wasn't) and have beautiful records like these remind of those times. Time heals all.

[@KovaProductions]

Anybody getting a Maggotbrain-Funkadelic vibe or a Before the beginning-John Frusciante vibe?

[@Wolfreys44]

that's definitely what inspire the album cover too

[@bassplayah707]

man im seeing a ton of influence from Funkadelic on this new album

[@stevendiaz3206]

John Frusciante? lol no but definitely some funkdelic shit going on.

[@KovaProductions]

Listen to Before the beginning, it's actually a tribute to Maggotbrain

I was expecting another dope rap album from CG, I'm pleasantly** ( since some people "misinterpreted it) surprised by this.

[@gfkshadow2541]

youngsoldier93 same, I was really excited, and now I am very dissapointed

[@SamirasoFi]

G JD same

[@anthonymartinez7232]

youngsoldier93 I prefer soulful gambino than rap gambino honestly. He's bringing back genres that have been forgotten

[@Sayian505]

I'm disappointed. I wanted some hardcore rapping like his mixtape even though this stuff is laid back.

[@mistchivous3618]

He's dropped like 4-5 rap albums, more than enough rap material to jam to. This man has came a long way in his music career. Also check out So Fly by Gambino, he's had this music in him for a long time.

[@aronreddick4068]

I wanna cry, Gambino the goat

[@mcmonigold]

CAN YOU IMAGINE JIMI HENDRIX AND GAMBINERINO DOING A SONG TOGETHER???

In present time I think JH might be blown away by what CG prepared for him, but then JH next rift could possibly put CG into a perma trip

[@coletropalis1116]

This song reminds me of finding that special someone and for me that's a little upsetting. I remember feeling all of the emotions that this song reminds me of and I remember us slowly falling more and more in love and when it ended I couldn't help but think back to how i felt and even still feel now and I see the love that we shared. And I just sit there and wonder what happened

If this song is playing when I'm near you, I'm probably going to love you for a little bit. it makes me all warm inside

[@AyeCSL8R]

Wtf man! How does this man keep making music that resonates so eloquently with my soul?

[@dayslowmendoza2742]

Godbino is truly an artist, y'all don't realize that not only did he drop a song or album but he dropped a vibe, a new wave. You're not listening to music you're listening to feeling! And anyone whos ever felt affection and love can vibe to this because if I had to describe love then this is my go to. This is what love sounds like. God damn. This man channeled gods when creating this album. The true GOAT. Putting people on music that they didn't even know they liked.

[@tsmith9038]

Childish Gambino enlisted Gary Clark Jr to bring this moment in time to life because he knew he was the only one that could give it that raw, unadulterated funk that it needed. This is what being a selfless musician is all about. The vision, baby.

[@KT910t3]

When I listen to this song and close my eyes, I feel like I'm somewhere else. I love this album!

Apparently George Clinton contributed to creation of this album too. And that guitar is definitely directly inspired by Eddie Hazel's screaming leads.

Gary Clark Jr, is a beast on the guitar. He basically played this like Eddie Hazel on Maggot Brain by Funkadelic and draws the curtain on this album with pure perfection. Stand tall is an encore track in my eyes
