Childish Gambino - Eat Your Vegetables
Artist: Childish Gambino
Producer: Chemist
Album: TBD (Promo Single)
Label: Glassnote Records
Why Eat Your Vegetables before dessert when you can enjoy both at once? The hip-hop equivalent of carrot cake, Childish Gambino has mastered the art of combining lyrical nourishment with instantly-gratifying punchlines and pop hooks. The Community star-turned-buzzmaking emcee’s latest promo single leans more toward the “dessert” side of the equation, but students of rap will find plenty of food for thought in this witty, braggadocious banger. Chemist handles production duties, serving up a hazy, sampled beat as Donald Glover attacks the mic with characteristic panache. As usual, he comes hard and fast with the wisecracks, ranging from the commonplace (Runnin’ through my paper like a pep rally.”) to the controversy-courting (“Man I die for my ‘hood—Trayvon!”). The arguable highlight, however, comes when Gambino puts his verse on hold for a conversational tangent on the enduring appeal of fat jokes, and transitions back into his flow without skipping a beat. Has this fly, free-associative jam whet your appetite for more? Then keep it locked—while Vegetables isn’t attached to any forthcoming project, Childish Gambino is currently hard at work on a new, self-titled mixtape.

Really nice production by The Chemist! I like the muted sounds and the booming bass... Childish Gambino has a pretty tight flow. Lots of Swag on this joint... BANGER Material...

I cannot say I am a huge fan, but I see the allure to his left-of-center rhymes and comedic undertone.

I agree with Z, not the biggest fan of his but he does a good job on this cut.

At first I was a little dissapointed but then I quickly grew to like that gambino is constantly mixin' up his sound, I think this will be hard tio like by a lot of Gambino fans but hey, I'm with it

I think this is one of the worse Gambino tracks ever made. Seriously.

This is growing on me. Definitely some bars in there, though the beat leaves something to be desired.
