In case no one else has said it, Ludwig Goransson is a composer that Gambino met because Ludwig was doing the score/music for Community while he was on the show. He's produced at least most of every Gambino album thus far, but also has won Grammys and an Oscar for his work on movies such as Black Panther, Creed, Star Wars and more. Man is already kind of a legend, on top of producing most of this album he also is the one hitting the guitar solo on The Worst Guys.

[@danny2d473]

He does an amazing job. His Star Wars music was top tier

[@comic_wingding]

Wtf that's so badass

[@Verate]

Add Oppenheimer as well

[@Shine28]

bout to get the oscar for oppenheimer. yea hes a legend already...

[@valyncia3961]

When paps said “why not?” To gambino saying “idgaf about my family name” I lost it 😂😂😂😂

[@litoboi8575]

“Flight of the navigator” is probably one of my favorite songs of all time. This whole album is going to be forever embedded to me !

[@tefweebz]

It’s my favorite on this album too. The song just entrances me. The song just circles you. He outdid himself.

[@LitWithYachty]

We need awaken my love too! Shows the progress he made towards becoming an amazing all around artists. Whole album is fire

[@godussop391]

That album is ass

[@Owenbegowen]

Second this would love to see Pops reaction to it

[@wavegod5797]

Implying he didn't peak with BTI

[@LitWithYachty]

@@wavegod5797 as a rapper he peaked w bti but personally as an artist I think he peaked w aml. I grew up on that kinda music tho so I’m probably a bit biased

Might be regional I'm from the bay and this album maybe wasn't considered classic but it had huge singles 3005, sweatpants, and telegraph Ave got play mostly 3005

[@MMCLLC7]

One of my favorite albums of all time. Fundamental in shaping my taste in music and art in general. No clue how your dad finna feel but I'm excited either way for the journey

[@treybishop72]

Glad I’m not alone with the fact that this album informed my taste in music and art for forever afterward

Gambino is criminally underrated

[@johnathansmith6171]

It’s a great album but that awakening my love we need that

[@BridgingTheGapYT]

Right after this

[@user-ve9tu5rv6e]

I'm gonna smoke one to enjoy that reaction when it comes out. That album is good vibes

[@Lord_Rynan]

One of my favorite albums of all time

[@urdads_bolos]

This is one of the most underrated albums of all time imo.

[@ericbarrierIII]

This is a top 5 all time favorite project for me. I could listen to it any day any time of the year. I couldn’t begin to describe what this album means to me but I can tell you get it. Love bro. W pops W son W Rods lmao.

[@DCASS58]

Didnt expect your Dad to be such a big fan of Swarm that was i great surprise 😂 Awaken My Love would be a great listen for you guys at some point in the future! This is one of the albums that made my mother a hip hop fan so it was great to see your Dad enjoy it as well.

[@freddurocher6077]

Amazing album, completely changed how I saw music as a whole. And flight of the navigator is my fav song ever so that added on makes it even better. Great review!

[@aadarshjasthi2245]

Telegraph Ave one of my favorite songs ever

[@ATampada]

facts

[@quandaledingle9409]

Talking about Thundercat, you guys should absolutely react to "Drunk" by him! Legendary album and incredible bangers on there.

[@quandaledingle9409]

thanks for the heart! btw this reaction was so good maybe one of your best, laughed so hard on pops instantly saying damn lmao

[@TerrySilverhand]

This album hit me at the best damn time... I always forget that Sober isnt on this album though and i was waiting to here your dads reaction to it.

[@BridgingTheGapYT]

Sober is sooo good

[@thabisodlamini780]

This album is way too good and often overlooked, thank you so much for this reaction, highly appreciated

[@FormalFilmsProductions]

Super happy you’re doing this one! This is one of my favorite albums of all time

[@ArtSoFoul]

I listen to a podcast about this album because this album is so fucking fascinating to me. The store goes as this character "the boy" Continues on from the other album camp I believe there are four chapters to this album. You can see the Is chapters By seeing where Roman numerals are for each scene. For example chapter one scene one and so on. Listen closely to the lyrics pay attention is very interesting on How they word things in this story

[@EvanVanderVeen]

To put the C3-PO line in Pink Toes in context, Childish says "she's on my back about it, C3-PO, C3-PO." In the second Star Wars movie, Empire Strikes Back, C3C3-PO is carried on Chewys' back for most of the movie. Pretty clever bar

[@Its_Confused]

Gambino is such a underrated artist bro. If y’all haven’t done camp yet then y’all definitely have to!

[@LitWithYachty]

I love the way you presented this album to your dad. This is probably my all time favorite album top to bottom. I love the way y’all look at and enjoy music reminds me a lot of myself and my dad and I wish I had the opportunity to show him this album like you are right now. Love what y’all doin fr 💜

[@adenafire1365]

So glad y’all reacted to this album, it’s my favourite of all time! A second close is actually currents by tame Impala - I can’t recommend that album enough, it’s pure genius!!

[@ChristianRamosTheKingSlater]

This is one of my all time favorite albums since college, loved this session for you guys and also Reggaeton is Spanish language Reggae, the original drum patterns came from a Shabba Ranks song called Dem Bow.

[@ArtSoFoul]

The funny thing about what he's wearing on the album cover. He wore exactly a Hawaiian shirt and some brown shorts throughout the entire press release of the album. And also I believe a winter hat but you'd have to look at some interviews for that, He also released a short film I forgot What it was called, but there were 2 versions. There was the minute version and then there was which I believe was called the internet version. It was to point out that some people don't even care to watch a 27 minute video. So they just use the internet version like a Vine. Or perhaps now a TikTok, which is obviously become very still the same thing as over 10 years ago.

[@CettiBenz]

Beeeeen waiting on this for a minute 💻💾 Never heard the Flight of the Navigator story from the forum but being surrounded by tragedy I definitely understand why it’s my favourite song from the album. & Urn is just beautiful as a whole 😮‍💨 Definitely should do the backstory of the album as content so pops can fully, fully see the album’s greatness.

[@camdenschofield2571]

commenting before fully watching, i have the screenplay version of the album title tatted on me so i’m super hype to see what Pops thinks

[@mikaylasando2885]

when he started singing along to telegraph ave 😭

[@alfredoestevez8950]

Yesssssss GOATED for this one. Finally! Gambeezy 🙌🏽

[@wooly9967]

This is definitely one of my top 5 albums of all time, I think the only ones to compare to it are 100% Awaken My Love, also by Childish Gambino. Two that come close are Lucana in the House of Mirrors by Kamauu, and Luv 4 Rent by Smino. But listen to whatever you want, I’m loving the reactions!

[@kang6914]

This is so ironic I was just listening to this album again the other day lol but yeah Gambino was ahead of his time with this one. Some really great tracks and at his best, he really could keep up with most mainstream rappers at the time, bar for bar. You can hear his hunger to be the best and also hear Kanye influence. You also hear his versatility in ability to rap/sing or even tap into other genres. He’s a genius.
