Film At 11: Childish Gambino

There’s a long history of actors trying their hand at music careers, from the mildly successful to the awkward and hilarious. Luckily, Childish Gambino (nee Donald Glover) falls into the first category. Currently starring on NBC’s little-seen critical darling Community with Joel McHale and Chevy Chase, Glover has been making mixtapes as Childish Gambino since early 2008. His Glassnote debut Camp is a rip-roaring album full of clever pop-culture references, commentary on societal racism and a worthy successor to Kanye West’s The College Dropout. The video for “Bonfire,” the lead single from Camp, is an eerie clip with all the suspense of Halloween stories and all the plot twists of The Sixth Sense. How could you not enjoy a song that starts off with “Homegirl drop it like the NASDAQ”? Watch the video below.
