Reason 4
Childish Gambino was influenced by a range of different musicians. His flow can be compared to Kanye West and Lil’ Wayne at times, but his lyrics say otherwise.
"I'm influenced by LCD Soundsystem as much as Ghostface Killah," he told the Guardian. "A lot of the rap shows I saw as a kid were boring, but if you went to a Rage show or a Justice show, the kids were losing their minds.”
Reason 5
Last, but not least, he made a musical crossover better than Eddie Murphy. Don’t act like you forgot about “Party All The Time” Or “What’s Up With You”
