Background[edit]
On September 6, 2011, Glover signed with Glassnote. The founder Daniel Glass says 'There's a tremendous sense of rock'n'roll about him, an irreverence and an authenticity, He fits in with our roster because he's alternative. He liked our approach, which is very touring-intensive. Secondly, it's about how progressive he's been online: inclusive of his fans and very liberal with giving away music. He knows his audience.'[1]
In late October, he announced that the album would be released on November 15.[2]
Release and promotion[edit]
The album was made available for pre-order on iTunes on November 1, 2011. On the same day, the music video for 'Bonfire' was released through Gambino's website and YouTube.[3] The album was made available in its entirety for streaming on NPR on November 6, 2011.[4]

The album's lead single, 'Bonfire', was debuted on Funkmaster Flex's Hot 97 radio show on September 17, 2011.[5] 'Heartbeat' was released as the album's second single on November 15, 2011,[6] and reached 18 on the US Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles.
On July 24, 2012, the music video for the song, 'Fire Fly', was released on Vevo.[7] 'Fire Fly' was later serviced to British contemporary hit radio on July 30, 2012.[8]
Other songs[edit]
On January 9, 2013, Gambino released his latest video from Camp, 'L.E.S.' The song's title is an acronym for the Lower East Side of the New York City borough of Manhattan, the location of the video shoot.[9] Photographer Ibra Ake directed and filmed the video over 'several nights' on the streets of the Lower East Side, in front of places like Pianos, and riding in cabs around the district;[9] but not once does Gambino appear himself. While on tour in the summer of 2012, Gambino played this video in the background while he performed 'L.E.S.' onstage.[10]

Camp received generally positive reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 69, based on 27 reviews.[12] Barry Nicolson of NME dubbed it 'the hip-hop album of the year' and commended Gambino's 'focus on being [..] witty, heartfelt, honest and occasionally uproarious.'[23] Steve Lepore of PopMatters found the album to be 'undoubtedly one of the best records of any genre to come out in 2011' and characterized it as 'a juxtaposition of mostly depressing, self-loathing rap mixed with some of the most enjoyable post-Graduation music.'[24] In his consumer guide for MSN Music, Robert Christgau complimented its 'choral and orchestral movie music' and stated, 'it's less surefire than Culdesac. But it's more satisfying emotionally, because the autobiography reaches deep'.[18]Mojo stated, 'The identity-crisis themed Camp trumps through whip-smart intelligence, comic brio and bristling malign intent.'[17]AllMusic editor David Jeffries commended Gambino for 'taking indie hip-hop to new levels' and called the album 'remarkable'.[13] Evan Rytlewski of The A.V. Club was more critical, stating 'Camp is heavy with themes of racial expectations and cultural ostracism—big ideas that aren't always done justice by Glover's cartoonishly exaggerated, one-liner-laden flow.'[14]
Mosi Reeves of Spin found the album to be 'a bit of a mess. It veers wildly from poignant emotions to maudlin histrionics, often in the same song.'[22]Pitchfork's Ian Cohen stated, 'While Glover's exaggerated, cartoonish flow and overblown pop-rap production would be enough to make Camp one of the most uniquely unlikable rap records of this year (and most others), what's worse is how he uses heavy topics like race, masculinity, relationships, street cred, and 'real hip-hop' as props to construct a false outsider persona.'[19] Claire Suddath of Time criticized Gambino for 'bragging about all of the girls he's banged' too often, but complimented his 'catchy, danceable sound very much akin to that of Kanye West' and stated, 'Ultimately, Camp is a skillful album created by a conflicted man .. But if Camp doesn't have a motif maybe that's because [he] doesn't have one either. He acts, he writes, he still does stand-up, and yes, he also raps. Some people can't be put into a box that easily.'[25]

There's a good chance Camp, the official full-length debut from rapper Childish Gambino, will land a top spot on the Billboard 200 after it debuts Tuesday, but that won't make it good. The album's success is practically guaranteed because of the MC's real name--Donald Glover. Glover has become a jack-of-all-trades in the comedy world thanks to his work as a founding member of Internet sketch group Derrick Comedy, a writer for beloved NBC sitcom 30 Rock, and an actor on another beloved NBC sitcom called Community. In the past few years he's garnered a rabid, cult fanbase that has, among other things, campaigned to get him the role of Peter Parker in the new Spider-Man movie.
Those fans have also downloaded Glover' s="" deep="" back-catalog="" of="" free="" childish="" gambino="" mixtapes="" and="" albums="" despite="" the="" fact="" that="" the="" quality="" of="" those="" collections="" are="" spotty="" at="" best.="">Camp is no different. Though the production quality has improved, much of the magnetic, approachable personality Glover injects in his acting and stand-up comedy is absent, replaced by a laundry list of personal pain and some sharply conflicting egotistical boasting, all underscored by an endless stream of forced pop culture references.
![Salt and pepper shoop video Salt and pepper shoop video](/uploads/1/2/6/4/126425710/266798548.jpg)
Glover's lyrics aren't the only thing that distinctly cite other parts of our collective culture: His rapping and instrumentals are heavily cribbed from other, better artists. His raspy, aggressive spitting on lead single 'Bonfire' and the tune's bombastic hook come straight from the book of Lil Wayne; The instrumental for 'Sunrise' is a rip-off of a futuristic, funky jam by indie-pop Yeasayer that shares the same name--which Glover rapped over on a cut from his first I am Just a Rapper EP called 'I Can Hear Your Feet (Sunrise)'; On album opener 'Outside' Glover desperately wants to recreate the luxurious hip-hop soundscape of Kanye West circa My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Needless to say, the album is all over the place, and while Glover's body of music has always exhibited a strain of schizophrenia, that's usually been a thematic issue he's dealt with through sheer pluck and personality. On Camp there's an uneasy lack of cohesion that pervades throughout the entire album: It makes Glover sound less assured, transforms its most interesting and accessible moments into lackluster experiences, and makes the collection feel ten times longer than it is.
At the center of Camp is a scuffle between 'Donald Glover: The nice, down-to-earth guy you should feel sorry for' and 'Donald Glover: The ultimate lothario and the world's most talented being,' a battle in which there are no winners. Glover has never been able to handle the disconnect between these two sides of his personality before, and the vacillation between them from track to track is jarring. Despite the fact that Glover does his best to open up and reveal difficult parts about his childhood and current lifestyle in a sincere and perhaps unsettling manner, it's hard to empathize or sympathize with a guy who places women on a pedestal on one track, only to knock them off said pedestal and objectify them in a juvenile manner on the next tune.

Perhaps some MCs have the skills to pull off such tricky thematic work, but Glover isn't one of them: His spitting comes out in sloppy globs, and it's sometimes unfocused and nonsensical. Even when he isn't boasting about the size of his genitalia or being the greatest MC around, Glover's delivery smacks of smarminess. He tends to emphasize his most intricate referential points as if he were underlining, italicizing and bolding a certain phrase to show off just how clever he is, which is just about as enticing as a guy who tries to pick up women by telling them his decades-old SAT scores. Not to mention that he tries to reach too high and often falls flat, like one 'memorable' lyric from 'Bonfire': 'You're my favorite rapper now,' Yeah, dude, I better be / Or you can f***** kiss my a**, Human Centipede.' (This line is also an excellent example of Glover's nonsense: While straining to reference the infamous horror movie, he overlooks its 'medical accuracy' as those involved in the grotesque chain don't have the physical ability to kiss because the villain in the first film removes the lips of those in the centipede.) For someone who has made a career out of crafting perfect punchlines, Glover doesn't seem to know how to properly put together lyrics that can land a punch.
Camp is a mess that goes beyond Glover's shortcomings as a rapper. The entire package sounds shlocky and gaudy: It has an 'everything but the kitchen sink' feel to its production, with so many overblown string arrangements and instrumental pieces that the whole thing is a few didgeridoos short of being a joke about an egotistical musician that Glover might have written into a sketch. Though he clearly has plenty to say about race, rap, and his personal experiences, Glover's ability to express that in hip-hop needs work--lots of it. He may have some talent for rapping, but it never really blossoms into anything worth listening to on Camp. But that won't stop people from buying it: Glover has made enough fans with his other talents to trick people into thinking that his rapping is somehow on par with his other skills.
