Apparently “Body” was one of those songs which missed the cut off for Royalty (ironic since the first two words are “It’s Royalty“). “Body” is still a solid track though, and has plenty of great lines that we all love Childish for in the first place. My favorite? Probably, “You don’t watch Community?! / Bitch, what are you lying for?”, mostly just because of the feigned pretentiousness felt behind him saying it. Listen to “Body” below.
It’s here, it’s here, it’s finally here! Childish Gambino’s newest mixtape, Royalty hit the internet today and from what I read, every blogger is more than excited about it. To write a song by song review of the mixtape would probably be overkill because I love every song. The collab aspect of it is great too (not that Childish Gambino would make anything less than great) with people like Ab-Soul, Nipsey Hussle, Ghostface Killah, RZA, and. . .Tina Fey? Beck also took some time to produce some of these tracks, so obviously, this is the best mixtape ever. Couldn’t find a SoundCloud account with all the songs streaming, but you can download it (right here!); if you are interested in the playlist with the full list of features and producing credits, check out this article on Paste.
