some of the hooks are good but its v bad everywhere else

That s*** is still insane to me, Donald not only became a completely different artist but an almost completely different person at damn near 30 years old
Don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone change that drastically at that age

I feel the same way, as ass as camp is looking back it definitely helped me work through some identity issues

if we’re talking as a piece of art, Camp (for better or worse) is probably one of the most honest rap albums of all time, and one of the few mainstream albums from a unique black perspective such as his, and in a way I think it’s actually notable and somewhat important because of that. People itt have noted how it helped them thru s*** in middle school bc they we’re going through the same s*** and there aren’t many albums detailing the mental racial struggle that Gambino was going thru

that being said, dude was nearly 30 dropping diet Lil Wayne bars and misogynisticallly reminiscing on high school bullies and racial discrimination (from like 15+ years ago at certain points) - It’s a corny album that hasn’t aged well. In interviews Donald has said that that’s partially the point, that it sounds like an album he would’ve liked @ 13, but that doesn’t absolve it of it’s problems lol . Fascinating project, but outside of Outside, Letter Home (those Ludwig strings ) LES, That Power, and Bonfire solely for nostalgia, it’s just so flawed and hard to listen to at points

Yes. It's good

I like it, but it doesn't hit heavy now compared to his newer projects

Hate to say it but BTI didn’t even age the greatest at least we have Kauai, AML, and 3.15.20

I used to love it more when I first stanning Donald back in 2014-2015. Camp is mostly a fun album to listen to front and back.

Yeah bro, you should've kept this in the drafts.

When I was younger I loved this album a lot, I see it for what it is now, but part of me will always have a lil special spot in like the attic of my heart

I do. Just listened to it the other day actually

This is an album that helped me mature

I was a huge Gambino Stan back in the day.

BTI still one of my favorite albums lol

“Im sure it’s a little lame to feel that way at 27”

@saph

I found it a LITTLE bit too late. Like if I was 12 and listening to it I would have loved it because of what he talks about (mostly being black but not being into traditionally “black things”) but by the time I listened I was 14 and already getting more confident in who I was so I just ain’t relate like that no mo

Yes, but EP (Early 2011) and Culdesac (Mid 2010) are much better Gambino projects from that era. I like Camp for what it was in my youth. He came into his own as a rapper in 2012 with ROYALTY.

i honest to god could not stand this album at all when it came out

now That Power is pretty good still corny tho

I like it

If you go back and listen to BTI, at least half of it is camp tiers of cringe. And I say that as someone who at one point thought it was one of the best albums oat

it’s a cool album but I can see why people don’t like it

Worst album ever

Letter home is some beautiful ass music

yikes I just went and read the lyrics cause I couldn't really remember the song that well and you're right. the lines about liking asian girls over black and white girls
