Childish Gambino

I'd agree, but I think that's changing. Although I LOVE Childish Gambino's discography, I think he peaked with Awaken My Love in 2016... And honestly his writing/acting/producing on his TV show Atlanta is as good, if not better, than his musical work.

If he keeps it up, I genuinely think he'll be more revered in cinematography than he was in the music industry. Seriously, if you haven't checked out Atlanta, I cannot recommend it enough.

He peaked with This is America. You literally could not escape it for months after it dropped and everybody was talking about it

If I played any hip-hop on YouTube at all, didn't matter if it was the fucking Sugarhill Gang, This is America would play next for a few months.

Hmm not sure. He's pretty big as an actor but I think he had like 1 hit song (or at least i've only heard 1 song of his)

I do enjoy his music and if you’re only listening to “hit songs” I’m sorry for you. My first experience was his stand up comedy and I was instantly a fan.

I listened to a few other songs. They're decent. Not sure what his comedy has to do with his music. I don't really listen to modern pop to start with or "hit songs" but everyone's heard that one song of his.
