At the age of 33, it’s fair to say that Donald Glover (who raps under the name Childish Gambino) is finally getting the respect he deserves.
Atlanta — the FX show he created and stars in — is winning awards, his latest album Awaken My Love! has been lauded by critics, he’s been cast to play a young Lando Calrissian in a Star Wars spin-off, and now he’s got a co-sign from one of the world’s most famous rappers.
Drake shared a photo of Glover sitting alongside Nineteen85, the man responsible for the beats behind some of Drake’s biggest tracks (“Hotline Bling,” “One Dance”) with the caption “Very Inspiring Humans.”
Drizzy didn’t give away much more than his opinion on Glover, but with his More Life playlist coming out later this year and several collaborations already confirmed for the project, it wouldn’t be crazy to assume that the two artists are working together. Having Drake’s producer in the pic only adds weight to our theory.
Nineteen85 clearly thought the moment worth sharing. He also posted the picture to Instagram, this time with the caption “Culture.”
Drake’s appreciation for Glover isn’t exactly unique, the guy is beloved by many — so much so, in fact, that we did some digging to see if anyone on Twitter is talking shit on one of Hollywood and Hip Hop’s fastest-rising stars.
Sleuths that we are, we Twitter searched the phrase “Donald Glover sucks” and guess what we found:
What have we learned? Even people who are using the word “sucks” in the same sentence as “Donald Glover” are talking about how much they love Donald Glover.
Case closed.
Would you look at that? Drizzaveli showing love to one of his many children, like any good dad would. Drake fathered many niggas’ styles in the 2010s, including Donald Glover. #DrakeIsLoveDrakeIsLife #MoreLifeOTW
Don’t be foolish. Gambino, Drake, Cudi, B.o.B., Wale and so on and so forth were born when 808s and Heartbreak dropped. Let’s not get out of line here.
Kid Cudi wrote a lot of 808 for Kanye West.
stupid motherfuckin ovoqueer, fake drake jacked many niggas styles, lyrics, beats since the 2010’s. that’s why diddy smashed that bitch in the face and put him in the hospital. fucking fake bitch still at it now, fake drake jacked xxxtentacion’s flow from one his songs. #DRAKEISFAKEDRAKEISWACK 70% OF HIS FANS WEAR HIGH HEELS..THE OTHER 30% ARE QUEER THAT WEAR SANDALS
What the hell are you on to even think that? This is dick riding to the max. They both came out at the same time and they definitely have completely different styles.
Looks like Drake found another Di(k to ride…
New ghostwriter ?
Bino did say that he “probably wrote your nigga verse”
Well he showed love to Kendrick,The Weekend,J.Cole,Wizkid,Migos et al look where they careers at atm.Gambino clearly wants to be da nxt nigga.
He’s the black guy from Lethal Weapon right? I was always more of a Mel Gibson type of dude. For obvious reasons that i assume i don’t need to state here.
drake is always attaching himself to anybody with success
D!@K riding is what this dude is good at not Song writing!!
Migos, Kendrick and J cole didn’t need 6 fraud to be successful!!! They all make better Rap music than him and he steals all of there flows and doesn’t sound as good doing it!!! They are Rappers, he is a Pop star!!! He gonna end up richer than all of them but I don’t give a damn about that!!! Im worried about rap music losing its identity behind Clowns like Drake!!!
This is on point dude is garbage he talks de does not rap
