Glover started his career with comedy, preforming with his sketch group Derrick Comedy and eventually making it big on the show The Community. Eventually his comedic success led to his first stand up comedy special that aired on Comedy Central entitled "Weirdo." His absolutely hilarious topics range from AIDS vs. babies to homeless people to the ever popular rape
(If you have an hour and nothing to do, this is absolutely hilarious!)
Other than his amazing comedy career, Childish Gambino is also an amazing rapper. His first studio album Camp, encompassed themes ranging from relationships to his poverty stricken upbringings to his new experiences with becoming famous. The headlining song from the album was "Heartbeat," using intense verses and crazy beats to talk about a broken relationship he was involved in. Other songs like "Outside," and "Fire Fly," discuss his impoverished childhood using his miraculous and indie style of rap to kill the tracks.
Two of his most famous songs, "Bonfire," and "Freaks and Geeks," expose his true side as an upcoming underground indie rapper, using his slick and refined lyrics to destroy his songs.

(The bonfire video is a bit graphic and odd, but a killer song)
From being able to rap on tracks with Kid Inc., DJ Drama and School Boy Q, to acting on NBC's prime time comedy working with Chevy Chase, to preforming hilarious stand up, Childish really is the complete package. I highly recommend listening.
