Childish Gambino and South Park (Not related)

So lately I have been getting into this rapper called Childish Gambino. Even if rap isnt your thing, read on. Rap really isnt usually my thing either. Childish Gambino's real name is Donald Glover. You might know him better as Troy from Community on NBC, or one of the members of the comedy troupe Derrick Comedy. He raps under the name Childish Gambino because he wants to keep his rapping and acting careers completely independent of each other. I like him so much because he is so clever. Also he uses a ton of pop culture reference. Some of my favorites are:

Honesty, I’m rappin’ ’bout everything I go through, Everything I’m sayin’, I’m super sayin’ like Goku

This is a Dragon Ball Z reference for all of you who are not sure. Its a bit far fetched to think a rapper that references things like this, but it happens.

I also like this one:

Gotta gift this bitch, like Christmas, bitch I’mma rap and act, Will Smith this bitch

He's just so clever. He stays current as well. I really like when things are current because it shows you that someone still has talent, they can apply it to many things.

Switching gears, this is also why I really like South Park. They are always current. Week after week, they comment on things that happen. They really have a feel for their audience. For example, the whole Penn State scandal. They talked about it like the week after it happened. Although Im not condoning anything that went on at Penn State, or trying to take gravity away from the situation, but if you are a fan of South Park, you understand that they offend everyone equally, so its kind of accepted. Also, they had a whole episode about Steve Jobs dying the week after it happened. Thats bold. Thoughts?
