During an interview conducted by Peter Rosenberg for The Grammy Museum’s Spotlight series last night in Los Angeles, CA (September 15), Childish Gambino explained why he felt the similarities he shares with Drake could have limited his music career. He also stated that he’s a better rapper than the Young Money-emcee.
“I don’t want people to think that I hate Drake,” Gambino said in response to a questioned posed by a fan in the audience. “I don’t hate Drake at all. I really like Drake, if not for no other reason than he makes me better. He really does. I had to fight that all the time. I knew when I was doing Childish Gambino from the beginning, like, ‘They’re not gonna let me do this. They already have a rapper, singer, actor guy who’s Black.’ That’s really what it was. ‘If he was White, it would be different.’ They’d be like, ‘They’re not the same.’ It’s very specific. I don’t dislike Drake. I think he’s a really good writer and rapper. Right now I definitely feel I’m better than him, only because I’m working harder than him right now. If he came in and was like, ‘Let’s rap.’ I’d be like, ‘Oh, I’m gonna kill you.’ [Laughs] But, right now. Maybe he’s got something up his sleeve.”
Childish Gambino called out several rappers, including Drake, during a recent performance in Sydney, Australia (July 27).
“I’m the best rapper, definitely Top 5,” Gambino rapped. “If these other rappers think they’re [inaudible], they’re fuckin’ not alive / I’ll cut their head off, that’s every rapper living / That’s Kendrick [Lamar], that’s Drake / That’s ScHoolboy [Q], that’s everyone / I don’t give a fuck. I’ll fucking kill you niggas / I’ll fucking kill you niggas.”
The because the internet-artist fired additional bars towards Drake before concluding his verse.
“This nigga think he Drake,” he rhymed. “Nah, I ain’t Drake / I sing better / I do better / My shit’s wetter.”
Childish Gambino discussed his upcoming mixtape STN MTN/Kuai Gambino during The Grammy Museum’s Spotlight series interview. He also performed four songs, including “Sweatpants” and “Sober.”

Your a fucking embarrassment don’t ever comment on this site again and pretend you know hip hop that’s literally the worst top 10 I have ever seen in my life. Iggy being in any top 10 is a disgrace your a loser and stick to the radio dude.
eminem and slim shady are the same guy you dumb stupid fuck!~
Ugh, he is obviously trolling guys, it’s an all white list to race bait you into his game, why do you constantly fall for this shit?
Drake is ass
^
Donald Glover is so sad. He’s trying so hard to force this beef and nobody actually gives a shit.
yet you know enough information about past events to comment
What?? Who said I give a shit??? Fuck both these clowns. ((Pops in Ghostface Greatest Hits.))
This guy is stupid as fuck.
He can not sing better than Drake, no one can
Drake’s not a good singer, though.
have you ever heard drake sing without autotune? look up when he did Jimmy Fallon for “Hold on we’re going home” ..it was off key the whole time. the guy only sings in C. and is most flat.
Drake is the best singer in the world & he is totes adorbs!
White people are more comfortable with drake because he’s light skinned.
Gambino is fucking deluded. Drake is far better than him. I can even rap better than Gambino.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA
seriously this nigga here man
I’m not even a Drake fan, but Gambino’s not better than him.
I think he is!
he is not
drake is better
I feel Childish is more diverse than Drake. On an honest scale. Drake can’t sing, Gambino can. Their bars are like neck and neck. I’d rather see a beef between “comeback season” Drake and “Royalty” Gambino if you want to keep it strictly hiphop. But i would say that Childish is more diversified, I mean look at the releases of tracks like “candler road” vs. “sober”. that’s nuts. I’d love to see it turn into a friendly rivalry. I’d take Bino’s side. both are good. But Bino is better. Drake just has more fame and has been out longer and has made a household name. So even when he drops bs like “Tuesday” people lose their shit. Again, both are good rappers. i just hope they go at at it.
oakland.
fuck drake every rapper is better than him
and fuck childish gambino too
Lol this due is fucking wack, his comments only reinforce that about him, drake owns you Gambino he probably owns your parents too
Drake isn’t the best diver but his music as a package including rapping is light years ahead of Gambino, can anyone name more Han one or two songs from gambinos last album? Others than 3005? Without google? Nah this guys an attention whore, the next it and game
The Worst Guys and Oakland. He should have made a video for Oakland. Probably one of the best tracks he’s ever made. I’m a big Gambino fan, but I like Drake more though.
Singer* fuck
If I had to invest I would take Gambino over Drake. He already has an earning potential far greater than Drake. He has TV show and unlike most rappers with a TV show he has shown he can make a hit show with 30 rock and win emmy’s, Hollywood is extremely interested in investing in him giving his audience it’s a layup to cast him in a super hero movie(or set him up to be the next will smith), and he’s a respected comedian already rolls with the whole Tina Fey/Steve Carrel class so he could be the next Aziz/Russel Peters if he wanted. And even the artists he fucked w/ early has shown incredible vision should he start a label.
Chance/Kilo/Danny Brown/Haim.
Just as someone in the business this nigga might win it all when we approaching Jay Z age.
He’s got more intellectual properties to capitalize on than Drake. But you niggas keep going with that short money.
Lol gtfo drakes the biggest in the game right now as if you or anyone else wouldn’t take him, Jay z probably loses sleep every night from not signing drake when Wayne did, be the doesn’t even know who Gambino is
Dickriding to the fullest.
He is right tho
Not really.
Yeah, Hip-Hop is over when a comparison between two rappers starts off with “well, this dude has a higher earning potential”
Drake makes hits, that’s what pop fans care about
Drake’s a better songwriter.
Drake has a better sense of how to make hits.
Drake is extremely savvy and up on what’s popping and what’s gonna pop.
Drake could be hired by a brand with relatively no worry that he’ll hurt their brand by saying or doing something inappropriate.
Gambino does have a better singing voice than Drake and wider range.
Gambino’s last album was better than Drake’s last album.
Gambino has more versatility as an MC than Drake.
Gambino makes more interesting music.
Gambino raps about whatever he wants, says whatever he wants.
Rap skillwise, they’re pretty close. Drake is much more conventionally hip hop and raps about the things that he knows people want to hear. Gambino is in his head and goes wherever, rarely lingering on hip hop cliches (i.e “Pop That”) for long. It’s different strokes…
Bottom line is that they’re in different lanes.
To say gambinos last album was better than drakes is a fuckig joke, which one was Grammy nominated? The only song I remember from gambinos album was 3005, drakes at least you have worst behaviour, hold on we’re going home, pound cake, not too mention drakes put out free singles like draft day, trophies, and 0 to 100 and those songs alone kill anything Gambino has done, including heartbeat or his older shit. Your comparing a grape to a water melon here, drake is huge and way bigger and better than Gambino and drake doesn’t fucking whine about people and say he’s better in interviews to try and reinforce that idea
lol didnt drake say he is better than kendrick?
“drake doesn’t fucking whine about people and say he’s better in interviews to try and reinforce that idea”
You obviously weren’t listening to his music because Aubrey is always whining about people and dude always think he’s better than people. He let the fame get to his head.
Drake has a tinnie Winnie
Drake licks buttholes
You say Drake was Grammy nominated but you forget that they gave the grammy to Macklemore. Only reason Drake’s big is because that one whack rapper that looks like Donnie from the Wild Thornberrys happened to like his soft ass. Drake has created memes where they say he the type of nigga to do real polite shit and it’s believable. What does that say about Drake? Drake is fake, bruh. You’re just a 12 year old without taste.
Gambino is wack
@anonymous
so you’re saying that Drake is more popular? Ok. no argument there.
Drake makes poppier records, but NWTS was NOT a better album than Because The Internet.
NWTS had more hits to be sure. And sold a lot more.
But.It’s.Not.Better.
Drake’s got more Twitter followers.
But.It’s.Not.Better.
Drake’s got more stans.
But.It’s.Not.Better.

Those bars where he “called them out” were pretty ass.
I’ve never seen or thought of Gambino, then thought Drake. And vice-versa.
For real, If you can rhyme bat with hat, you’re better than Drake.
Only thing Childish Gambino is good at is running his corny ass mouth. Other than that he’s a mediocre actor and an even more sub-par rapper. Because the internet was the ultimate snooze fest. Apparently, it came with some kind of script so you can read about the story behind the album. Nigga get the fuck out of here. Ain’t nobody got time for that! And you motherfuckers wonder why Drake runs rap. He actually sells out arenas, doesn’t pull out any ridiculous publicity stunts like bitch ass Gambino, and is true to his craft. Not to mention, he’s a much better and believable actor.
Still wrong.
You both suck dick
Sorry Gambino. Your not even on the same planet as Drake. Your music is so moist.
Drake’s music is more moist.
^ and ^^ fag alert!
Now that I think about it, they’re both pretty sweet!!!!!!!!!!
should be called childish fagino
LMFAO agreed
How the fuck is he working harder if his shit is tanking? lol Go script another sitcom, dumb fuck.
It ain’t tanking.
these cats are both weak! end of story!!!
the nerve on this nobody rapper. Get back at drake when you have the most number 1 hits. Highest selling tours among all the rappers. Three platinum albums at the young age of 27. The highest selling artist of the new generation. Actor, singer rapper, rnb, performer and the list goes on. Drakes accomplishments are endless he is the face of rap. His accomplishments makes scrub rappers like these a fickle of dust. Gambino like kendrick and all these other rappers should get down on their knees and kiss the kings feet. Drake runs this rap shit the numbers prove it. Your nerd virgin opinions don’t matter only numbers and consistancy does so all you nerds can hate on the king while he will be remembered in history unlike gambino who nobody even knows exists. And to think i have read some retard post that they would invest in gambino over drake hahahah. If you wanna be a broke virgin for the rest of your life you can go ahead and invest in gambino a nobody that will never accomplish what drake did. Drake runs this rap shit and in 2014 every other rapper is irrelvent.
All I see is old recycled lies from a Drake groupie. Come up with some new trolling material because this shit got old real quick.
i produce facts you virgin nerds call my facts a lie because you can’t accept reallity. Fact is drake has the most number 1 hits as a rapper. Fact is out of all the up and coming rappers drake is the most sucessfull with 3 platinum 2 double platinum albums. Fact is drake has the highest selling tours out of all rappers the past few years. These are facts that can be backed up while your opinions don’t mean shit. I produce facts and numbers you virgin nerds need to accept these facts instead of believing in your fantasies and accepting that as reallity
the reality is if you think im trolling when i say the truth then you virgins are clearly halfwits with peanut brains who think that just because other internet virgin nerds hate on drake then anyone who likes drake is a troll on the internet. In reality drake has more fans than most of your favourite rappers.
Nothing you say is anything close to fact or truth. It’s all a bunch of bullshit that can’t be backed up. You constantly repeat the same shit over and over again without saying anything new. Virgin nerd, Drake runs this rap shit, numbers, some statistics that aren’t real, etc. Get some new material because you have become predictable as a troll. Hell, if anyone’s a virgin nerd, it’s you for worshipping a guy’s accomplishments while nit even paying attention to the music and making up bullshit. You are a bandwagon bitch. End of story.
Drake doesn’t have any number one hits, he’s not the most successful rapper, and he doesn’t have the highest selling tours. Your “facts” have been disproved.
“Drake doesn’t have any number one hits, he’s not the most successful rapper, and he doesn’t have the highest selling tours. Your “facts” have been disproved” Hello dellusional retard and retard above you heres the proof now please stop lying to yourselves.
From Billboard.com
The discography of Canadian rapper and singer Drake consists of three studio albums, one extended play, three mixtapes, seventy-one singles (including forty-seven as a featured artist), seven promotional singles and thirty-six music videos. Drake has sold over five million albums,[1] and his music has been released on record labels Universal Motown Records and Universal Republic Records, along with subsidiaries Young Money Entertainment and Cash Money Records. He has the most number one hits on the Billboard Hot Rap Songs chart with thirteen, and as a rap artist, he has the most number one hits on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, with eleven.
drake has had the best songs every made in the history of music, God said so.
you can write down “facts have been disproved” all ya want but it won’t change it.
Drake is the GOAT no doubt.

Also keep in mind the time he’s been in the game compared to ANY other rapper, he may not be as lyrical as some of the greats, but give the man credit where it’s due for his hard-work.
Try typing “Most popular rapper” in Google and see who’s #3, then look to the left AND the right of that person… maaan GTFO with this Drake hate, facts don’t lie.

Gambino says hes better than Drake? That’s like the piss in the toilet saying its better than the shit right next to it.
Bad analogy. Try again.
It’s true. Drake’s cry baby ass ain’t cutting it. Gambino has real shit. The difference between the two, is that Drake acts hard, then wants to make soft shit. Gambino is just one guy.
