Background dated September 6, 2011, Glover signed with Glassnote. Founder Daniel Glass says: There's a huge sense of rock 'n' roll about it, irreverence and authenticity, it fits into our list because it's an alternative. He liked our approach, which is very touring. Secondly, it's about how progressive he was online: inclusive of his fans and very liberal with handing out music. He knows his audience At the end of October he announced that the album will be released on November 15. The album was released and promoted for pre-order on iTunes on November 1, 2011.

While touring in the summer of 2012, Gambino played this video in the background as he performed L.E.S. on stage. Critical Admission Professional RatingsAgregia RatingsSource:6.7/10'11'Metacritic69/100'12'Review RatingsSource:RatingAllMusic. ClubC'14 The Guardian (The Independent) 16Mojo Expert Witness)A18 Pitchfork1.6/10 In Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating of 100 reviews of major critics, the album received an average score of 69, based on 27 reviews. Barry Nicholson of NME dubbed it hip-hop album of the year and praised Gambino's focus on being... witty, sincere, honest and sometimes noisy. Steve Lepore of PopMatters found the album undoubtedly one of the best recordings of any genre to come out in 2011 and described it as a juxtaposition of mostly depressing, self-hating rap mixed with some of the most enjoyable post-Graduation music. In his consumer guide to MSN Music, Robert Christgau praised his choral and orchestral music for cinema and stated, It's less true than Culdesac. But it's more satisfying emotionally, because the autobiography reaches deep. Mojo stated: The identity crisis is a themed camp of goats both and goats both through whip-smart intelligence, comic brio and bristling malignant intent. AllMusic editor David Jeffries praised Gambino for dislocating indie hip-hop to a new level and called the album remarkable. Evan Rytlevski of The A.V. Club was more critical, saying, The camp is heavy on racial expectations and cultural ostracism - big ideas that don't always triumph because of Glover's cartoonically exaggerated flow of one liner. Mosi Reeves of Spin found that the album was a bit of a mess. It wains from acute emotions to modlin hisorionics, often in the same song. Ian Cohen of Pitchfork said: While Glover's exaggerated, cartoonish flow and bloated pop rap would be enough to make Camp one of the most unique unassuming rap recordings of the year (and most others), what's worse is how he uses heavy themes such as race, masculinity, relationships, street credo and real hip-hop. Time's Claire Suddo criticised Gambino for 'bragging about all the girls he fucked' often, but praised his catchy, dance sound very similar to Kanye West and stated: Ultimately, camp is a skilful album created by a conflict man ... But if Camp doesn't have a motive, maybe it's because he doesn't have one either. He acts, he writes, he still does stand-up, and yes, he also raps. Some people can't be placed in a box that easily. Camp's commercial performance debuted at number 11 on the U.S. Billboard 200, selling 52,000 copies in its first week. According to Nielsen SoundScan, according to Nielsen SoundScan, according to Nielsen SoundScan, as of November 2013, 242,000 copies of the album were sold.

Gambino, born Donald Glover, has gone “Awaken, My Love!” is Donald Glover’s third studio album as through multiple career shifts, from acting on NBC’s Childish Gambino. PHOTO COURTESY GLASSNOTE RECORDS “Community,” to his career as a rapper with successful breakthrough studio albums “Camp” and “Because the Internet.” Gambino, working in multiple artistic fields, has forged a career buying into the modern millennial lifestyle: trying on all hats, seeing which one fits. It seems that in regard to Gambino’s music career, his success is derived from his understanding of combining artful composition with meaningful rap. Gambino often uses technology to his advantage in his musical themes and mixes. Until this most recent album, Gambino had been on a trajectory to be known as a rapper with soulful embellishments. Gambino’s newest studio release, however, may prove to be another shedding-of-the-skin moment in his movement forward as an artist: the album is a retro extravaganza, minus the classic raps. Without the rapping, the record otherwise plays as a solid funk album, audibly smooth and soulful. The one problem, however, is that

  • I'm Not a Rapper: Donald Glover Aka Childish Gambino's Search For
    I’m Not a Rapper: Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino’s search for authenticity in the hip-hop industry Natalie Robertson Virginia Tech I’m not a rapper: Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino’s search for authenticity in the hip-hop industry In Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Polonius gives Laertes this advice: “This above all: to thine own self be true.” The notion of being real and not false has played a firm role in society since the early 1600s, and perhaps earlier. ‘Keeping it real’ transcends cultural boundaries that are normally predetermined and untouched, from English literature to hip-hop music. In the hip-hop industry, authenticating oneself reigns paramount among all feats. Whether it is the car you drive, the people you know or the music you produce, such factors aid hip-hop artists in their quest for authenticity. On the other hand, what factors hinder artists as they try to ‘keep it real’? Could one of those elements involve an artist’s acting career? In this paper, I will examine actor Donald Glover’s transition from acting to rapping under the stage name Childish Gambino. In addition, I will examine the cultural nuances associated with authenticity. Although Childish Gambino uses many authenticating strategies, he also asserts himself as an individual. My research will dive into if and how this can be attributed to his background in acting. Moreover, I will examine how the rapper persona is similar and/or different to the actor persona. Does he face struggles in authenticating himself because of his overlapping careers in television and film? Specifically, I will assess the ‘keeping it real’ category of authenticity, and how the combination of acting and rapping either hinders or helps Gambino as he tries to be ‘real.’ More generally, I will delve into the other categories of authenticity, including culture, location, sexuality and race.

  • Out There in the Dark There's a Beckoning Candle: Stories
    OUT THERE IN THE DARK THERE’S A BECKONING CANDLE: STORIES By © Benjamin C. Dugdale, a creative writing thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment for the degree of Master of Arts in English Memorial University of Newfoundland April 2021 St. John’s, Newfoundland & Labrador. Abstract (200 words) OUT THERE IN THE DARK THERE’S A BECKONING CANDLE is a collection of interrelated short stories drawing from various generic influences, chiefly ‘weird,’ ‘gothic,’ ‘queer’ and ‘rural’ fiction. The collection showcases a variety of recurring characters and settings, though from one tale to the next, discrepancies, inversions, and a whelming barrage of transforming motifs force an unhomely displacement between each story, troubling reader assumptions about the various protagonists to envision a lusher plurality of possible selves and futures (a gesture towards queer spectrality, which Carla Freccero defines as the “no longer” and the “not yet”). Utilizing genres known for their unsettling and fantastical potency, the thesis constellates the complex questions of identity politics, toxic interpersonal-relationships, the brutality of capitalism, compulsory urban migration, rituals of grief, intergenerational transmission of trauma, &c., all through a corrupted mal-refracting queer prism; for example, the simple question of what discomfort recurring character Harlanne Welch, non-binary filmmaker, sees when they look into the mirror is demonstrative, when the thing in the mirror takes on its own life with far-reaching consequences. OUT THERE IN THE DARK…is an oneiric, ludic dowsing rod in pursuit of the queer prairie gothic mode just past line of sight on the horizon. ii General Summary.
