With the recent announcement that Eli Manning has been tapped to host weekly live comedy show “Saturday Night Live” on May 5th, coupled with the knowledge that Justin Bieber is confirmed to host before the current season’s over, NBC appears to have dropped the ball in the tail end of a season that has boasted some reasonably strong hosts. Episodes from Jason Segel, Charlie Day, and returning host Jonah Hill were uniformly strong, offsetting questionable outings from guest hosts Anna […]

The Singles Bar: Childish Gambino’s “Eat Your Vegetables”

Childish Gambino wants you to be healthy. That’s obviously what his latest, “Eat Your Vegetables”, is about, right? The man destined to be the next Will Smith in the entertainment industry (Hit show: Check!, Hit album: Check!, Hit movie: Does a cameo in The Muppets count?) keeps the momentum going from last year’s Camp full-length with a neat little ditty that’s offensively infectious and a great prelude to his upcoming mixtape and summer tour dates. I’d say that “Eat Your […]

Spin Cycle: Childish Gambino’s “Camp”

Donald Glover has been Childish Gambino for a long time so don’t live under the impression that he gained more fame from Community and decided to become a rapper. Be clear about one thing, Childish Gambino is the real deal and this is, without a doubt, Donald Glover’s Dark Twisted Fantasy. It can’t be coincidence that Camp comes out around the same time Kanye’s masterpiece dropped last year. If you didn’t know that Donald Glover was a rapping maniac before, […]

The Singles Bar: Childish Gambino “Bonfire”

hip-hop / music / The Singles Bar

Until approximately twelve hours ago, I was utterly unaware that Donald Glover (better known as Troy from Community and an aspiring Spiderman) had a hip-hop alter-ego. In retrospect, it makes sense. Glover has always been a clever, witty comedian, and being an ill lyricist is in that same neighborhood. So with absolutely no preconceived notions of Glover’s past work under the pseudonym Childish Gambino (which he apparently got from a Wu Tang Clan name generator online), I dove head first […]

The Viewfinder: Best Coast’s “Our Deal”

I’ll admit. I don’t know a heck of a lot about Best Coast. I’ve heard a couple of songs on the recommendations of friends, but nothing’s really stuck with me. However, I was going through my Google Reader and I saw two words that caught my interest: Drew and Barrymore. Just so you know, I have a massive crush on Drew Barrymore, as evidenced by the fact that I would blog about a video just because she directed it. The […]

Festival Summer: Rock the Bells & Afro-Punk Announce Lineups

Quiet as kept, the Rock the Bells festival has become THE event for hip-hop fans every summer. The 2011 iteration of the road show just announced it’s lineup for this summer, and Lauryn Hill and Nas are the main attractions. Hill, whose wildly inconsistent performances (not to mention habitual lateness) drew the ire of many fans last year, will be looking to redeem herself on the 2011 jaunt. Hopefully we get more soulful, inspired performances like the one she did […]
