NBC's Community: Intro To Top 10 Lists 101

The fifth season of Community is here, and it is as good as ever.  I was worried, with season 4 being less than stellar, but Dan Harmon is back, and he's letting everyone know.

The adventures of Jeff Winger (Joel McHale), Annie Edison (Allison Brie), Shirley Bennet (Yvette Nicole Brown), Pierce Hawthorne (Chevy Chase), Troy Barnes (Donald Glover), Abed Nadir (Danny Pudi), and Britta Perry (Gillian Jacobs) are some of my favorite.  Let's not forget about Dean Pelton (Jim Rash) and Senior Chang aka El Tigre (Ken Jeong).  So, I spent a large portion of the winter holiday re-watching the entire series to pick my top 10 episodes, and it was CRAZY tough.  Also, no episodes from season 4 were even remotely considered.  

New Music: Childish Gambino - Yaphet Kotto

Childish Gambino a.k.a. Donald Glover a.k.a. Troy Barnes is at it again, and thank god. In preparation for the release of his sophomore album, Because The Internet, the childish one hits us with this jewel. Currently, the hot trend in hip-hop is to name your song after a buzz worthy public figure (ex: Miley Cyrus, Michael Jordan, Bill Gates, etc...), which is why I think it's AWESOME that CG named this song after a supporting actor in 80s action flicks that nobody today could name. While I've got your attention, Google Yaphet Kotto, and you will find one of the ugliest black actors in history. He literally looks the way his name sounds.

Back to the song. This is pure hip-hop. A mellow beat decorated with creative and witty punchlines, similes, and metaphors. Childish Gambino is probably my sixth favorite rapper out there right now; right behind Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, and...umm...oh yeah...Dylan (Chappelle reference, it's okay to giggle, people). This song is exactly what the game is missing. Don't just take my word for it, give a listen for yourself. You're welcome.

New Music: Childish Gambino - Think Of Me

I know, I know, I'm a little late posting this.  What can I say, I'm selfish. I was trying to keep this one to myself for as long as possible.  Donald Glover a.k.a. Childish Gambino has done it again, this time for Funkmaster Flex's new mixtape, Who You Mad At? Me or Yourself? If I didn't love Community so much, I would wish that Donald would give up acting and focus full time on rhyming. I know, I'm being selfish again, but just listen to the track and you'll agree.  He kills it! He lends the perfect bars to this beat.  Good way to move into the warmer season (I refuse to call it spring yet, just warmer than winter, kinda).  You're welcome.
