HHU Exclusive Intv: Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino

November 26, 2010 by JD in HHU Interview


In one of our best interviews to date, HHU’s Taylor catches up with actor/musician/comedian/renaissance man Donald Glover to talk about a variety of topics. While he’s probably best known for his current role on NBC’s Community, he has a thriving music career on the come up under the alias of Childish Gambino.

Glover talks about the possibility of signing to a major label (under specified circumstances), the importance and influence of Tina Fey in his career and criticism he’s received about his music. Additionally, check out Glover’s reasoning on why hip hop is, metaphorically, a ‘patchwork quilt’ and how music is always changing with the times.  Oh, an thank the Lord he says he hates the word “haters.” My sentiments exactly.

    Agreed man. I told him that too.

    I love this interview, but it’s too busy. The background music gets too loud sometimes, and the shaky cam is kinda distracting.

    Hey, good interview. What is that song being played under the interview portion of the video? It sounds like it keeps saying “I’ve made lot of mistakes”. It sounds amazing.

    Dan – thanks for the feedback. Someone else was originally supposed to be handling the camera, but he went MIA apparently.

    Jay – Our boy Taylor put this together, I’ll ask him and have him reply here for it. Check back soon.
