    As a black kid who always felt like an outlier around his own people and like some strange token around other people, who was also a little nerdy and into things black people weren’t supposed to be into (like Naruto and Dragonball z before black people embraced it and made it cool), I feel like I’m who Donald Glover makes music for.

    I get why someone would say he isn't, but personally I'd only go as far as saying he's a non-traditional hip hop artist. The vibe I get from him is still very stereotypical "improv comedy guy" over anything else. If you're familiar with that world, UCB and all that, he's very obviously more of that than a traditional hip hop artist. Of course he loves hip hop and has his own personal connection to it and contributes to it in his own way. To me, that's enough to call him hip hop, just in a non-traditional way. Even though I think he's still a corny UCB comedy guy at his core.

    Very stupid take that he is of Afro culture but not HipHop, and it’s a point Bino makes in his music as well is when his he HipHop/black enough for people like dude? He literally is everywhere but always speaks from the black experience and is able to make records about it because he’s HipHop. Which was the origins of HipHop which was to speak on the black experience which Donald does. But he’s rich from his former talents so it maybe doesn’t come off as grimy as other HipHop people. But what exactly isn’t HipHop about Bino? He’s not really being clear. Just saying, he feels like an outsider for no reason.

    This makes no sense, so the guy who's not faking who he is while expressing that at the highest level, that being black people are not a monolith and to be your true self. He is not hip-hop because he has other ways of expressing himself with films, TV, stand-up, and a Funk Soul album, all universally seen as great. While we conveniently forget his five rap projects and the amazing depictions of hip-hop culture and black culture in Atlanta his show... So we are back to bullying the black nerd for not being hip-hop enough for us, tell that to Tribe, Leaders, Pharrell, De La, Nubians, and Pharcyde to start.
