Just curious. I think he's awesome. In case you don't know who that is, he's Troy from the Community (Donald Glover).

One of his older song (NSFW)

He is an absolute joke of a rapper.

A few sentences from the pitchfork review which gave it a 1.6/10

"Glover isn't strictly a comedy rapper, but he flows like a comic actor: When he's trying to be playful, his voice hitches in a pubescent squeak, and when he "goes in," he's still delivering one room-clearing punchline after another with the earnestness of the most confused Rhymesayers guy ever. At the very least, Camp can serve as hashtag rap's tombstone, and I'll just present some choice quotes without comment so you can decide for yourself: "I made the beat and murdered it, Casey Anthony," "You can kiss my arse, Human Centipede," "I got a girl on my arm, dude show respect/ Something crazy and Asian, Virginia Tech"

Maybe it is because I like the guy. I'm sorry, in general, rap to me is a joke. Just an opinion. I can respect the ability to write good lyrics, but when comparing a rap artist to a musician it is a joke to me.

I see your 1.6 and raise you to a 9/10.

From IGN
quote:

As Childish Gambino, Donald Glover delivers a stellar album as full of thoughtful social commentary as booty shaking bangers. From the chilled G-Funk vibe of uplifting "Fire Fly", celebrating his rise to fame, to the fantastic spoken-word recollection of pouring his heart out to a girl on the bus after summer camp as a post-script to his Kanye-inspired knock-out "That Power", Glover delivers one of the most consistent, infectious rap albums of the year.
