Donald Glover, aka Childish Gambino, used an impressive freestyle encore during his Sydney concert last night to call out some of the world’s biggest rappers. Drake, Kendrick Lamar and Schoolboy Q weren’t free from Gambino’s wrath as he graced Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion for a Splendour In The Grass 2014 sideshow.
In the footage of Gambino’s freestyling (below), he spits nasties about his three fellow rappers, but tries to stay at least a little modest in the process. “I’m the best rapper, definitely top 5,” Gambino raps. “I cut their head off, that’s every rapper living. That’s Kendrick, that’s Drake, that’s Schoolboy, that’s everyone! I don’t give a fuck! I’ll fucking kill you!”
Gambino even made sure to drop some Aussie references. “I’m chillin’ out, surfing, over at Manly Beach,” and “I’ve been surfing off the Gold Coast,” Gambino rapped. He even managed to mention an Australian boy band in his rap, saying, “I’m from Australia like 5 Seconds Of Summer.”
Music Feeds reviewer Tara Clifford noted that the freestyling encore “showcased Gambino’s lyrical prowess and mastery of flow as he went back to perform some of his ‘old shit’,” which included a medley of track from his first EP and debut album CAMP. Read the full review right here.
