Childish Gambino -- "Freaks And Geeks"

Where did this come from?! I was first introduced to Donald Glover in Derrick Comedy's classic Bro Rape. He then went on to play Troy Barnes on the NBC comedy series Community... and now he is exploding in the rap game? I was at a party the other night and heard this song to a mass appeal of drunkards who totally dug it. When I asked how the person who played it got into Donald Glover he said, "who the fuck is Donald Glover?" I have realized that this song is good beyond the fact that it is a very talented actor and comedian attempting to rap, it is just good rap... great in fact. Even after hearing "Freaks And Geeks" at least 20 times, I go nuts every time I hear lines like, "e.e. cummin’ on her face, now that's poetry is motion" or "my dick is too big, there's a big bang theory." While many bloggers have been going nuts over albums like Raekwon's Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang or Saigon's The Greatest Story Never Told, Donald Glover's EP under the name Childish Gambino is easily the best rap record I have heard all year.
