As someone who heard his music before bti the fact people love that album and this nigga became a “respected” artist is still super crazy to me lmao.

Cornball ass nigga

So corny and I'm someone who used to listen to camp alot

Simpler times

damn i was just thinking about his early career and how royalty was such an improvement from camp
and then bti being one of my favorite albums the year it came out

No one ever thought camp wasn’t corny that was the point of the album and outro

hot like a parked car

i sound weird like

bti is legitimately a classic album

It all boils down to how other people feel or perceive it

Before an uninitiated even has the chance to hate it, Kanye is revered as much more of a cultural titan than Gambino to where a lot of niggas just forcing two different reactions to fit in

Tl;dr a lot of niggas didnt know how to dress in school and just going with what everyone else say

Gambino corny lines like that made sense a directly post Kanye and Wayne punchline rap game and its surreal people have already forgotten/cringed away that era of rap (Big Sean / Drake Macy’s flow also comes to mind lol)

Every artist aint supposed to be Boston Richey and thats niggas problem now. Some artists are supposed to be cringe because nigga who else gonna do it.

Okay it's Childish Gambino homegirl drop it like the Nasdaq

i dont even listen to boston richy lol

Insert any trendy artist there, my point doesnt really revolve around that

i guess i dont get the point

you said some artists should be allowed to be cringe
so idk why im not allowed to call him cringe

and i still said i looked back on that time in his career fondly

but some of his lyrics definitely were corny, even at the time

he locked in after royalty tho

I didn’t really disagree with u bro was kinda just adding on to what u was saying lol basically its ok for artists to be cringe

oh

my bad

Yeah it was corny then but just reading lyrics now just make me cringe hard

Yup the way he pulled BTI including roll out, artwork etc was surprising which makes me mad he messed up his rollouts consecutively now

One of my fav albums from that year too. So many quality albums dropped in 2013. Artists keep dropping bs nowadays ik I sound like an old man but it's true

First page is unreal i forgot how bad bro was.

Possibly the greatest glow up in music history

and now he made a whole series Mr. & Mrs. Smith about play-wifing an Asian co-worker lol (gr8 series tho ngl)
