If you've ever seen Community, you'll recognize Glover immediately. He wrote for 30 Rock, one of the funniest, edgiest prime-time TV show, for three years. Besides Community, most of the roles he's played are small, obscure roles in shorts no one has ever heard of. My personal favorite, Black Peter Pan, tells the story of Wendy, John, and Michael, when Peter comes back with a few changes. It's not cry-from-laughing funny, but it's still clever and witty, like everything Glover has written.
Three people tried to tell me about Childish Gambino in the past week. I hate rap, but I've basically fallen in love. I highly recommend Bonfire and Heartbeat, if you're not offended by cursing. Or anything. His raps really cover a lot of non-school appropriate subjects. The first time I listened to his raps, I just thought he was vulgar. And he is extremely vulgar. But when the third person who told me about him showed me his photo, I freaked out. I squeal an awful lot on a regular basis, but this was an all time high note. I didn't realize the man writing the witty, inappropriate raps was none other than Donald Glover:
That fact literally makes me love his raps. So for at least this week, he is my favorite human being.
Don Glover is awesome. Good description of his background and your introduction to him.
