Video Essay Explores How Donald Glover (Childish Gambino) Represents a New Archetype of Entertainer

We've been on the Donald Glover/Childish Gambino hype train for a long time at GeekTyrant. I interviewed Glover and the rest of Derrick Comedy for their movie Mystery Team back in the day, and we've been listening to Gambino's albums here since his pre-Camp mixtapes. It's been awesome to see him emerge on the hip-hop scene and make an impact, and to watch him evolve as an artist and get his own FX TV series, Atlanta (which is great, by the way, and you all should watch it).

YouTuber KaptainKristian has put together a short video detailing how Glover represents a new kind of multi-hyphenate entertainer, and for those of you who only know Gambino through his music or Glover through his stand-up, this quick history should help paint a larger picture of his ambitions as a storyteller.

A quick look at the career of Donald Glover. One of Hip-Hop's most polarizing figures.
