Thankfully, he appears to be reconsidering after three years of telling the world that Childish Gambino was no longer, speaking with I May Destroy You creator Michaela Coel about his possible move back into that character.
“I still don’t feel like I’m done with that [music] project,” said Donald Glover after Coel praised his latest album, which features 21 Savage, Ariana Grande, and more.
He went on to explain that he spoke to a shaman about releasing “a bible” and claimed that he finds spirituality in everything that he produces.
“With writing, I definitely feel, like on the last project and on the project I’m working now, musically too, it’s all spiritual. It’s all spiritual. A feeling of ‘I love us. I love me’. I really do.”

While he doesn’t promise a return to the Childish Gambino project, he isn’t ruling it out like he used to.
Are you hoping he releases another album as Childish Gambino or are you satisfied with his brilliant artistry being reserved for television?
Nicki Minaj officially makes history as the first female rapper to secure a Latin Grammy nomination for Karol G’s “Tusa.”
Nicki Minaj has earned the right to be held alongside hip-hop’s greats, having proven herself as one of the mainstream’s biggest names time and time again. And not only has she consistently penned her own bars — a fact in which she takes much pride — but she has also explored a variety of different styles with impressive degrees of success. Case in point, Nicki Minaj recently hit a new milestone, becoming the first female rapper to secure a Latin Grammy nomination.

The nomination comes courtesy of her recent collaboration with Karol G, “Tusa,” which has been nominated for both Record Of The Year and Song Of The Year. No surprise, given how massively popular the track has become, hitting one billion YouTube views in a little under a year. Naturally, Minaj’s loyal fanbase — the Barbz — have come out in droves to sing her praises, celebrating the milestone accomplishment with the spirited fervor we’ve come to expect.
It should be noted that Nicki is no stranger to the Grammys, having amassed an impressive ten nominations throughout her career — including Best Rap Album nominations for both The Pinkprint and Pink Friday. Though she has yet to lock down that win, it’s entirely possible that she and Karol G find success at the Latin Grammys with the ridiculously popular “Tusa.” Congratulations to Nicki Minaj for another new record, and check out the Latin Grammys when they air on November 19th.
במהלך התקופה האחרונה , אני עושה חשבון נפש עם עצמי ולכל מה שקשור לעתיד ולאושר שלי.
סיימתי לפני חצי שנה מערכת יחסים רצינית שנמשכה שנתיים שבה הקשר לא הגיע לכדי התמסדות מסיבות שונות ואני שלם עם ההחלטה ומסתכל קדימה .
לאחרונה ראיתי את שני הסרטים האהובים עליי בערוץ BET – Black Entertainment Television :
Brown Sugar
Boomerang
וזה לימד אותי המון על עצמי ועל איך להתייחס לנשים ולאהוב נשים כמו שאתה אוהב R&B\Soul , כמו שאתה אוהב Hip-Hop.
אתה תילחם ותעשה הכל בשביל האישה שאתה אוהב ותגרום לה להבין שהיא הכל בשבילך ומה שאיחלת לעצמך בחיים .
החיים שלנו משתנים , ביחד עם הרגשות שלנו , החיים קצרים ואתה חייב לעשות הכל ,קודם כל מה שעושה אותך מאושר ושמח וגם בשביל האישה שלך .
המוטו שלי בחיים הוא בעצם הכותרת של הספר : “תתנהג כמצליחן ותחשוב כמו מצליחן” ( Act Like A Success , Think Like A Success) של הקומיקאי ומנחה הטלויזיה סטיב הארווי . בימים אלו אני מסיים לקרוא את הספר שלמעשה שינה את חיי .
היום יותר מתמיד הבנתי כמה דברים עברתי בחיים ובשנים האחרונות, לפני 9 שנים , איבדתי את אבא שלי שהיה יותר מאבא , שתמיד היה שם בשבילי ועזר לי ותמך בי המון עד שנפטר ממחלת הסרטן , וגם היום הוא עדיין חסר לי .
איבדתי שני חברים טובים מהמילואים , ובין היתר גם בני דודים, דודים ודודות , ובנוסף חוויתי מערכות יחסים שכשלו מסיבות מסויימות , עברתי בין עבודות וערים , הכרתי אנשים חדשים בדרך והתפתחתי מקצועית בצורה משמעותית בתחום מערכות מידע , IT ואבטחת מידע במהלך השנים האחרונות .
הדרך שבה אני יודע לבטא את עצמי היא באמצעות מוזיקה , מוזיקה היא לנפש , לנשמה , מוזיקה שמעיפה אותי גבוה וגורמת לי לרצות לשיר וכך גם אני מבטא את עצמי באתר שלי כדי לספק את המוזיקה הכי טובה ולתת הרגשה של בית למוזיקה השחורה שאני כל כך אוהב וגדלתי עליה .
מרווין גיי אמר פעם : “מוזיקה היא נשמת האדם”
אני רוצה לשתף אתכם במס’ שירים שאני מאוד מתחבר אליהם :
SiR Feat. Kadjah Bonet – New Sky
השיר הזה מאוד מרגש אותי שבו הזמר SiR מרגיש שהוא בורח מהחיים , מנסה למצוא את עצמו מאושר יותר ומה היה יכול להגיד אחרת לאחת שהוא באמת אוהב .
Lyrics
This is familiar, I feel ya
How can that be?
I thought I was gone now, on the run now
Tryna find a happier me
But flyin’ away didn’t fix a thing
Barely alive on this G5
Bottle away from me drowning
Start with a sip, then I down it
Land in Toronto, I’m tipsy
You never say that you miss me
But I know that you miss me
I wish you were with me, ayy
New sky, new sky
Won’t you let the clouds go by?
Too soon, blue moon
Don’t need you around
Bringin’ me back down
Bringin’ me back
A conversation that we never had replayin’ in my head
I say the right thing and you smile just like you used to
Took me way back to when I knew you
This time, I don’t make the same mistakes
I don’t ever break your heart
You don’t have all you can take
And we don’t fall apart
Oh, this can’t be real…
Already made my escape
Some things you can’t run away from
I wanted to weather the change
Tried my best to outrun the rain
Only way I deal with the pain
I know you feel the same
I know you feel the same (Same)
Robert Glasper , H.E.R ,Meshell Ndegeocello – Better Than I Imagined
השיר הזה מאוד מרגש אותי .
נלקח מתוך האלבום הקרוב של רוברט גלאספר , Black Radio 3 .
Lyrics:
Passive, past it I’ve been thinking ’bout mad shit Happened, action Baby, we never lasted Magic madness Maybe you was just gassin’ But it was better than I imagined
Drastic acting To you we was just practice Sadness, mask it Hated you with a passion Had it granted Baby, I didn’t cap it ‘Cause it was better than I imagined
Thought it’d be worse ‘Cause it hurts me But still I can’t See myself with no one else ‘Cause it was better than I imagined
Hey-hey-hey Better than I imagined Hey-hey-hey
Trust me, lovе me You know I could never make you Stay true Hate to say it But it’s too late My expectations Too low you can’t relate to Baby, but I don’t blame you
Baby, you were the one I always escaped to Day two, replace you Maybe I’m just afraid to Call you Need you to tell me if it’s okay too Is it okay…
Thought it’d be worse ‘Cause it hurts me But still I can’t See myself with no one else ‘Cause it was better than I imagined
Hey-hey-hey Better than I imagined Hey-hey-hey ‘Cause it was better than I imagined Hey-hey-hey Better than I imagined Hey-hey-hey
Hey, uhm… In the scramble to get a flight I lost my phone and… I’m calling you from the hotel phone I couldn’t get a flight back to the States I realize you’re the only number I know by heart
Last time I was here, we were together, remember? I tried to tell you how I felt I… Then you stopped me, you were… Then you said, “Don’t ruin it” “‘Cause this is better than I could have ever imagined”
I hope you’re okay staying inside I hope you’re not lonely And, I’ll call again Maybe you’ll answer
‘Cause this is better than I could have ever imagined
Daniel Caesar & H.E.R. – Best Part (NPR Tiny Desk Performance)
You don’t know babe
When you hold me
And kiss me slowly
It’s the sweetest thing
And it don’t change
If I had it my way
You would know that you are[Pre-Chorus: H.E.R.] You’re the coffee that I need in the morning
You’re my sunshine in the rain when it’s pouring
Won’t you give yourself to me
Give it all, oh[Chorus: H.E.R. & Daniel Caesar]
I just wanna see
I just wanna see how beautiful you are
You know that I see it I know you’re a star Where you go I’ll follow No matter how far
If life is a movie
Know you’re the best part, ooh
You’re the best part, ooh
Best part[Verse 2: Daniel Caesar]
It’s this sunrise
And those brown eyes, yes
You’re the one that I desire
When we wake up
And then we make love (Make love)
It makes me feel so nice[Pre-Chorus: Daniel Caesar]
You’re my water when I’m stuck in the desert You’re the Tylenol I take when my head hurts You’re the sunshine on my life[Chorus: Daniel Caesar & H.E.R.]
I just wanna see how beautiful you are
You know that I see it I know you’re a star Where you go I’ll follow No matter how far
If life is a movie
Then you’re the best part, oh
You’re the best part, ooh
Best part[Outro: Daniel Caesar & H.E.R.]
If you love me, won’t you say something?
If you love me, won’t you?
Won’t you?
If you love me, won’t you say something?
If you love me, won’t you?
Love me, won’t you?
If you love me, won’t you say something?
If you love me, won’t you?
If you love me, won’t you say something?
If you love me, won’t you?
Love me, won’t you?
If you love me, won’t you say something?
If you love me, won’t you?
If you love me, won’t you say something?
If you love me, won’t you?
Love me, won’t you?
Lucky Daye – Fade Away
מתוך פסקול הסרט “התמונה” , השיר עצמו עוסק ברגעים הטובים והפחות טובים באהבה , והעיקר שמגיעה האחת שלך לדעת לזהות את זה ולשמור על הקשר שלכם .
Lyrics
I just want this feeling to last
I bet I’ll beg for you to face it
Feels, they change like the weather
Close my eyes, find forever
Gotta be nice on the
Other side, ‘nother side
Is it cruel of me
To pretend I can’t see
When I pass you by? Oh
Is it wrong of me
To feel the same pain
But not know why?
Not know why
Ooh, we keep a foot on the gas
Running from the past
Wondering why what we get’ll never last
She said, “No boy, no, I don’t wanna change”
I take the pain not to feel the shame
Ooh, woo, woo, woo
Can’t find it but we need it
Maybe it’s just peace of mind
That we’re tryna find
Baby, don’t swallow that just catch a contact
And try to rise, don’t let it go
Shallow breathing
Fade away
I think it’s a good time
To fade away
Please don’t push me, I’m on the edge
I don’t care too much but you want it, baby
Let’s go through it together
Maybe it’s for the better
‘Cause you’ll let me be, aw baby
I let you go there to roll up and then go back
Meet me at the corner, baby, you know where
Is it cruel of me
To pretend I can’t see
When I pass you by? Oh
Is it wrong of me
To share the same tears
And never cry?
Don’t know why
Ooh, we keep a foot on the gas
Running from the past
Wondering why what we get’ll never last
She said, “No boy, no, I don’t wanna change”
I take the pain not to feel the shame
Ooh, woo, woo, woo
Can’t find it but we need it
Maybe it’s just peace of mind
That we’re tryna find
Baby, don’t swallow that just catch a contact
And try to rise, don’t let it go
Shallow breathing
Fade away
I think it’s a good time
To fade away
Don’t let it go

Lyrics
I never knew a luh, luh luh, a love like this
Gotta be somethin’ for me to write this
Queen, I ain’t seen you in a minute
Wrote this letter and finally decide to send it
Signed, sealed, delivered for us to grow together
Love has no limit, let’s spend it slow forever
I know your heart is weathered by what studs did to you
I ain’t gon’ assault ’em ’cause I probably did it too
Because of you feelings I handle with care
Some niggaz recognize the light but they can’t handle the glare
You know I ain’t the type to walk around with matchin’ shirts
If relationship is effort I will match your work
I wanna be the one to make you happiest, it hurts you the most
They say the end is near, it’s important that we close
To the most, high
Regardless of what happen on him let’s rely
There are times when you’ll need someone
I will be by your side
There is a light that shines
Special for you and me
Yo, yo, check it
It’s important we communicate
And tune the fate of this union to the right pitch
I never call you my bitch or even my boo
There’s so much in a name and so much more in you
Few understand the union of woman and man
And sex and a tingle is where they assume that it land
But that’s fly by night for you and the sky I write
For in these cold star night’s moon, you my light
If heaven had a height, you would be that tall
Ghetto to coffee shop, through you I see that all
Let’s stick to understandin’ and we won’t fall
For better or worse times, I hope to me you call
So I pray everyday more than anything friends will stay as we begin to lay
This foundation for a family love ain’t simple
Why can’t it be anything worth having you work at annually?
Granted we known each other for some time
It don’t take a whole day to recognize sunshine
There are times when you’ll need someone
I will be by your side, oh darling
There is a light that shines
Special for you and me
Yeah, yo, yo, check it
It’s kinda fresh you listen to more than hip-hop
And I can catch you in the mix from beauty to thrift shop
Plus you ship hop when it’s time to, thinkin’ you fresh
Suggestin’ beats I should rhyme to
At times when I’m lost I try to find you
You know to give me space when it’s time to
My heart’s dictionary defines you, it’s love and happiness
Truthfully it’s hard tryin’ to practice abstinence
The time we committed love it was real good
Had to be for me to arrive and it still feel good
I know the sex ain’t gon’ keep you, but as my equal
It’s how I must treat you
As my reflection in light I’m a lead you
And whatever’s right, I’m a feed you
Digga da, digga da, digga da, digga digga da da
Yo I tell you the rest when I see you, peace
There are times when you’ll need someone
I will be by your side
There is a light, that shines
Special for you and me
I’ll take my chances before they pass, pass, pass
Pass me by, oh darling
You need to look at the other side
You’ll agree
השיר המקורי : Bobby Caldwell – Open Your Eyes
“There are times, when you’ll need someone
I will be by your side
I’ll take my chances before they pass, pass me by
Oh darlin, there is a light that shines, special for you and me
