BECAUSE THE INTERNET

This album is stunning. Childish Gambino is a true lyrical and musical genius. Rather than the "smoke weed, f**k b****es" stories that most rappers talk about these days, which he mocks/mimics in his song Sweatpants, Gambino tells true stories of love and life through deep and insightful lyrics. The musical style is something never seen before. It is a combination of noise tracks (anywhere from moaning to dental drills) and unheard of beats and tunes. The combination of these things create an amazing album that insets a certain indescribable emotion. The album ends with a desperate, but not shouting, voice pleading "please help me", which sends shivers down your spine. The song Flight of the Navigator provides an interesting perspective of life, with tunes that go along with the lyrics and just add more and more layers to the already deep meaning of the song. Sweatpants mocks rappers who brag about things they don't have. Shadows provides a perspective on falling in true love with someone. All of this and more is waiting for you inside Childish Gambino's musical masterpiece, "Because the Internet". If you buy this album, especially the vinyl LP, please don't blast it at a party. The is not that kind of rap. When you get this album, just hit play or drop the needle, relax, and listen to it all and analyze it.

My favorite album of all time.

If Camp was a battle of voices between Childish Gambino and Donald Glover, then Because The Internet is what happens when Childish locks Glover in the basement and invites over mc DJ. It's a beautiful dream that unravels into a wondrous nightmare. Make no mistake, this a concept album through and through, but the beats are unmatched and the arrangements entrancing. His lyrics are smart, and flow precise. With limited collaborations, Childish chose wisely: Chance the Rapper, another intelligent wordsmith, and Jhene Aiko, whose voice you will never forget. In a market flooded by auto-tuned hacks, with recycled beats, Because The Internet is a revelation. There's nothing like it, and there is nothing like Gambino. This is not an album that you blast in a frat party, this is an album where you turn up the volume, turn off the lights, close your eyes, and experience the emotion and detail that it contains.

l am a Childish Gambino fan. No doubt about it. But I don't blindly praise something that doesn't gel with me.This album is great. It didn't succumb to the hype machine. I just got the "Camp" album not too long ago so this is like a double-feature for me. This is one of the greatest albums of the year. This proves he can do beats that could kill in the clubs as well as thought-provoking top shelf storytelling. He had fun making it and I had a great time to listening to it. Really down-to-earth kind of guy with many talents. It's about time more "non-black" black artists like him and Janelle Monet are finally being recognized and respected . This gives hope to people like me that have been given the same moniker. Get this album. You will not be disappointed ! Kix & Cocoa Puffs! !

Great album from Gambino. The first time i heard the album i was super disappointed because it sounded chaotic and random. After buying Camp and listening to Royalty i expected more rap in this album but its still very good. The album to me is an experience and a sort of trip through Gambinos mind. The only other album i can compare it to is Kendrick Lamars Good Kid Mad City, only in that they both are meant to be played from beginning to end and tell a story. Kendrick's story was of a good kid growing in harlem but Gambinos story is more introspective and sort of depressing. Its almost like Gambino had a epiphany in this album about love, friends, and loneliness. Overall an awesome album that is non-traditional and is good for rap/hip hop. I only wish more people knew of gambino because this is a great album.

Although i am not the biggest fan of his music, i decided to purchase this album to see how he has progressed since his Camp album. First time i went through the album i was impressed, i feel like he has developed a heavier flow to his rap. But i would say after the fifth time i have gone through the album i would probably skip two or three songs. In my opinion, telegraph ave. (oakland) is the best track on here. Overall i would give this album a 7.5/10. some songs are very catchy and have very thought out lyrics. not to mention his rhythm is on point, but some songs could be very soft and the beat could be a little off. I would definitely recommend

I gotta be a little honest. I grew up on Hip-Hop and am a person who loves ALL music. But, the last year or three maybe four, I've been really DISAPPOINTED with the genre. The only two artists that are keeping me from disowning hip hop entirety are Drake (my love), and this dude here CHILDISH GAMBINO. I been a fan of his acting career since Community. When he came out with his first single Heartbeat I was instantly a fan. Loved Camp. This album got me truly obsessed with Gambino, though. I listen to this album once to twice maybe even more a day since I purchased it. It's not just an album, it's an amazing experience, vibrant, dangerous, chaotic and beautiful. This is hands down the best album of the year for ME. One thousand thunbs up. My opinion :D

Definitely my favorite Childish Gambino album (his later stuff is solid, and Camp is also excellent though). It just goes so hard and I love to jam out to it in my car. Telegraph Ave. [Oakland by Lloyd] is one of my all-time favorite songs, and Sweatpants is a real banger.

Produto chegou muito bem e funcionando perfeitamente. Álbum simplesmente incrível.

One of Gambino best works!

Pues eso, lo compré lo trajeron a mi casa y todo bien, si te gusta el rap es un disco muy recomendado.

彼の2作目のアルバム。次作よりヒップホップ色が強いアルバムでした。エレクトロな感じですがピットブルやブラック・アイド・ピーズのようなダンサブルなヒップホップではありません。エレクトロだけど90年代のヒップホップの影響をやや感じる不思議な楽曲群でした。私は次作のアウェイク・マイ・ラブの方がヴィンテージ感があって好きです。

Um ehrlich zu sein, war ich recht skeptisch bei diesem Album und wollte es mir gar nicht erst kaufen, dennoch hat mich das Cover sehr neugierig gemacht (das Cover sagt nichts über das Album aus, ich weiß aber es passte optisch in meine Vorstellung von einem guten Album). Ich habe etaws gezögert, doch ich entschloss mich die 10€ in etwas zu investieren, wovon ich nichts weiß. Natürlich hätte ich mich erkundigen können oder die Bewetungen lesen können, jedoch gehört dies nicht in mein Konzept des Kaufes eines neuen Album. da fehlt mir persönlich die Spannung und die Vorfreude. Sehr zügig hielt ich das Mysterium in meinen Händen und konnte es kaum abwarten. Direkt nach dem ersten Durchlauf der Tracks habe ich mich regelrecht verliebt. Diese abgehackten, unberechenbaren Beats sind der knaller! Von schnellen, hektischen Melodien bis ruhigen entspannten Melodien ist alles dabei. Jeder Track für sich hat einen abgespaceten Touch, welcher einen mystischen und geheimnissevollen Flair in den Raum wirft. Ich bin sehr begeistert und kann es jedem empfehlen, der offen für außergewöhnliche Musik ist
