Gambino is a mastermind


Last week I introduced you to my imaginary best friend Taylor Swift so this week I thought I would introduce you to my imaginary boyfriend Donald Glover.

Most of you will know Donald Glover as Troy Barnes from Community and while it is one of the best shows on TV right now he is so much more than half of ‘Troy and Abed in the Morning’.

Donald Glover started off as a staff writer for 30 Rock (the greatest show in the world) and during the three years he was there wrote some of the funniest episodes (The Fun Cooker and Episode 210). It was during his work on 30 Rock that he started his career in rap music under the stage name Childish Gambino. It started off as a joke and he would release EPs free on the Internet. After steadily gaining popularity and having his song ‘Freaks and Geeks’ in an Adidas commercial Donald signed with Glassnote Records and released his first album published onto CDs entitled ‘Camp’.

Camp is one of my favorite albums of the past few years. Lyrically it is so well written and clever. I would love to put an example of how great the lyrics are but I can’t think of any that wouldn’t offend a lot of people. His lyrics are pretty filthy. It’s awesome.

It was during the first few years of his music career Donald got the role of Troy on Community which is heading into its 4th season. The whole cast of Community is hilarious and if you feel like watching one of the funniest shows on TV make sure you check it out. It's NBC comedy at it's finest. 

In summary, Donald Glover is a genius writer and has worked on 2 of the best shows on TV while releasing a ton of good music. You should also know that Donald Glover is a babe. And that's why he is my imaginary boyfriend. Make sure you check out the Community and 30 Rock DVDs we have in the library and (if you’re an adult and not easily offended) his album Camp. They’re all amazing. You can take my word for it.
