Childish Gambino probably just dropped one of the worst tracks of the year - General

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGTnrUJZVbU[/media] I'm all for his new artistic direction on this record but good fucking lord those vocals have had me crying with laughter for the past 10 minutes.

Idk about the vocals but the actual track is pretty chill

[QUOTE=HAKKAR!!!;51461341]Idk about the vocals but the actual track is pretty chill[/QUOTE] The entire track is marred by the vocals though.

what are you talking about california is one of the best songs on the album

It's weird as fuck but I actually kind of like it?? [editline]2nd December 2016[/editline] Title is a little sensationalist

Title is absolutely sensationalist, but yes the song is absolute ass. Can't defend Glover here.

They can't all be winners.

I don't hate it but It's not really bad

It's really not all that different from heavy auto tuned future/young thug tracks.

He dropped quite a few good ones, though: [video=youtube;WbsZnsr0lI4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbsZnsr0lI4[/video] More (don't want to spam the thread with videos): [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kp7eSUU9oy8[/url] [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hZCsgcKa-g[/url] [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dothnBCZB34[/url]

[QUOTE=LSK;51461527]They can't all be winners.[/QUOTE] This is my thing. It's not his best song but it certainly isn't his worst. No need for such sensationalist vitriol.

[QUOTE=Clovis;51461458]813 dislikes 58 dislikes sure this isnt just your opinion[/QUOTE] The comments are more accurate.

Stand Tall is definitely the best song on the album

nigga talking about this shit like he knows, honestly it's pretty lit weird as fuck, but i can definitely see myself tossing this on chilling with some buds

the quantization and autotune make it sound really crap. Reminds me of mumble rap mixed with sublime

I'd rather him try 10 different vocal styles and have one of them be garbage than listen to the same one for 4 albums. (plus the production nearly makes up for it)

-snip-

Not had a chance to listen to the whole album yet, but there are also some fucking awesome tracks on this release. [media]https://youtu.be/Kp7eSUU9oy8[/media] [media]https://youtu.be/_hZCsgcKa-g[/media] Edit: Sorry code_gs didn't realise you'd already posted these two.

Artists tend to want to push the boundaries of what is considered acceptable. Sometimes they succeed and break new ground in the industry, sometimes they fall flat and turn out to be a bad song. I just believe the design choice for the vox in that track was a leap into new boundaries. And It didn't pay off.

Pretty cool of him to feature Ice JJ Fish on one of his tracks.

California sounds like a mumble rapper and Jack Johnson's (Can't remember if thats his name, the Banana Pancakes fella) lovechild

[QUOTE=Waffle cones.;51463046]what were you expecting from the guy who made because the internet [editline]2nd December 2016[/editline] ironically, i actually kinda enjoy this song[/QUOTE] Because the Internet had a bunch of really great songs tho.

this song is literally a diss track about mumble rappers how are y'all missing that hahaha

[QUOTE=DeVotchKa;51464037]Because the Internet had a bunch of really great songs tho.[/QUOTE] And so doesn't awaken my love, but because the internet had its fair share of weird tunes. This is p. standard fare glover, some people just only know Sweatpants and shit and don't listen to any of his real shit

Ha, the vocals are actually my favorite part of this track and it's one of my favorites off the album. Don't speak so objectively about subjective things

I don't like the autotune, but other than that its not bad, gotta try some crazy things every once in a while.

And yeah like, Sweatpanta is surface level, but it gets Bino out there so i don't harsh on people that know just it. Just gotta encourage them to branch out, y'know?

Gary Clark Jr on The Night Me and Your Mama Met is incredible. so funky

This is awful, but it's obvious they were going for goofy on this track. The rest of what I heard from the album has been alright though.
