About this playlist
When Childish Gambino emerged from the online mixtape scene in the early ‘10s, his punchlines drew from Eminem's outrageous tendencies, and his experiments with electronics recalled LCD Soundsystem's savvy mix of Krautrock rhythms and club culture. He has since ventured into the land of classic soul, drawing from Outkast's fusion of blues and Dirty South rap and from vintage funk heroes like Sly & The Family Stone.
