This one of the cult classics in hip hop
i’d say so. one of a kind. i’ve delved into the meaning of each song and read every bit of text accompanied with the album. its so fascinating. the 80s synths, the occasional lofi feel, the atmospheric sound, the acoustics, the left and right references, double and triple entendres, rnb soul, electronic trap, sfx .... while the music is pleasant and entertaining.....the album at the same is ever changing,lonely, real, introspective,and kind of is meant to be an overload on your senses as he does pack a whole lot of themes, storyline, and little references intro this album/project.
Darth Maul I’m not a big fan of his half of his rap songs but even I could recognize that and the production was great
Darth Maul do you mind explaining what the project is about?
Omar Graves look up The Alien Theory. The Alien in the story is an allegory for how the Internet is slowly taking over society
Omar Graves it’s up for interpretation. but not so simply put .... its about the internet and the best and worst parts of living in the internet age. but really its a mixture of that and the screenplay ... the album is supposed to be a soundtrack that accompanied the screenplay. the screenplay is a part 2 to the boy in the CAMP album ... the boy a character thats is supposed to represent donald (to an extent) ... the boy is played by Jaden Smith as we see in the 2014 EP ... but i believe the boy is in a way supposed to be very similar to donald as well as someone who is lonely, rich, closed off, and wrapped up in the whole internet age thing .... so again ... BTI is like a soundtrack to a sequence of events and emotions that happen to the boy ... i recommend reading the screenplay and watch “CLAPPING FOR THE WRONG REASONS” on YT ... obviously u can listen to the album as an album ... but Donald did release alot for the roll out and everything seems thought out......like how when he was promoting the album he wore alot of the same clothes .... to push the idea of a character having a certain look we’re accustomed to
Flight of the Navigator is my favorite Bino track of all time

thank you!
Doing the lord's work
Have my babies
One of the best albums of the decade to me, surely one of my favorites ever! This is incredible, Donald is a genius.
Flight of the Navigator is so underrated
that song is amazing, very underrated, soft melody but very dark and raw
How is this comment a week old when the video dropped an hour ago
@@ashtonlikes9443 patreon
Ashton Likes because the internet
best album of all time any genres
fun fact he actually leaked the album early on purpose “because the internet” but near the end of the last song he cut it short mid sentence maybe like a min before the actual end (the biggest troll). i still vividly remember that moment lol
Sergeant Steve Yeah dude I downloaded it via mp4 files (not knowing about this) and thought the song just always ended like that. Then I streamed it on Spotify and was like WTF THERES MORE TO THIS SONG!?
FUCK THAT WAS DELIBERATE?!?!? OOOOOHHH SHIT BRO
the boy YO THAT BLEW MY MIND IVE NEVER HEARD THE FULL VERSION OF THAT SONG
Oh shit! I remember listening to that and thinking the file somehow got corrupted or some shit lol
same :') i bought the album n listened to the leak until it came in the mail WAITING to hear the end. it was worth it.
Flight of the navigator makes me cry every time I hear it.
Same here. The memories that Are linked with that song just hits me different
It's one of the most beautiful and thought-provoking songs I've ever heard.
Flight of the navigator one of my favorite songs of all-time. Timeless.
John the entire album came with a movie script, maybe worth reading along to it while listening to the album thats definitely part of the reason it sounds all over the place...
he mentions it at the end of the video
Damn I didn't even know this lol
He mentioned that
Came as soon as I got the message glad you’re listening to it 🙏🏿
Zealots Of Stockholm is one of the greatest pieces of art ever created.
Could
Not
Agree
More
This Is Objective Truth
here’s a rundown on all the supplementary material for this album:
-the screenplay + video clips
-yaphet kotto and [no mouth emoji]: videos that announced the album
-clapping for the wrong reasons: features the mansion where the album was created
-3005 lyric video: basically lost media at this point
-the various music videos: some of which weave a narrative where glover becomes infected by something and becomes a monster. this narrative is later continued in the “sober” music video
-a couple of interviews from this period where glover assumes the persona of “the boy” from the screenplay accompanied by some amazing freestyles.
people have included even more content from this period in the replies
Only thing on here I didn’t know about, read, or watch before is the 3005 lyric video what’s that about?
@@JuanLopez-fw9qq it was an NSFW lyric video where childish gambino talks to a camgirl on a live chat, its super weird and eerie, it quickly was removed on literally every platform and can not be found online. (someone may have it, but I have searched for it multiple times and couldn't find it)
ӂ̴ -MATEEN- ӂ̴ wow that’s crazy you blowing my mind that there’s something Gambino related that I didn’t know about I thought I was a Stan smh lol
Is it this one? ruclips.net/video/EzuD57b9EBI/видео.html
@@abecedariusz326 yes it's that one
Just wait until he listens to Me and Your Mama lol he’s going to put on those shades when it drops
Jimmy Rojas ... soooo true
I haven't seen this cudi pic in years it used to be my desktop background lol just took me back
in the top ten albums of the decade for me..... crazy that you get to experience this for the first time right now i’m jealous
Out of curiosity, what are your other 9?
I always think about that lmao, I absolutely love watching JD experience the most beautiful music I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to…. For the first time , beautiful
Oakland, 3005 and Flight of the Navigator are some of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard
This whole album tbh
Three of my top 5 songs from my album
100k muthafukaaaa!! Well deserved Jon.
...because the internet. Hands down my favorite album. Everything that went into to... the memes, the guerrilla marketing, Donald becoming the boy for about 2 years.... all amazing. Roscoes Wetsuit
Marthentic :)
great reaction to one of my favorite pop-rap albums of the 2010s!
you should listen to some of the loosies he dropped around the same time as this album, too: centipede, yaphet kotto, what kind of love, secret track, etc. these songs really help contextualize his head space during this era outside of the album’s world, imo, especially yaphet kotto and centipede
I'm not sure if you've already done a reaction to this one, but man I can't wait until you hear his next album after this one, Awaken My Love. But man this one hits me different every time I listen to it. It's kind of a classic for me and the time period I listened to it. Awesome to see your reaction to it.
Awaken My Love is definitely my favorite from him, I feel like Jon would love it.
I remember him saying on a Rock Reacts video he has listened to it, and it took him a few listens but he really loves it
I only like two songs from that album redbone and me and your mama. The rest of the songs plus his other album 3.15.20 I just can’t listen to. I like most of his early music camp and BTI plus two of his mixtapes culdesac and royalty is what really made me listen to bino also some of his unreleased tracks. That was back when he was mostly producing hip hop/rap pop music til now.
JON AT THE BACK POST
GOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLL HE DOESN'T MISS WITH THESE REACTIONSSSS

Man after watching your reaction to Mac Millers “Swimming” album I’ve been coming back like crazy bro. Love your content Jon! And thank you for reacting to one of my favorite albums of all time!
whoever requested this, you have my blessing.
The first ever rap album i've ever possesed... That's a masterpiece and maybe my fav album of all time!
WE NEED YOU TO COME BACK GAMBINO!
one of my favorite albums of all time. ive heard it hundreds of times and it gets better. every. single. time.
second half of this album (from the party and on) is some of my fave songs of all time.flight of the navigator is just... amazing to zone out to.
I remember running to best buy and buying the physical copy of this album after work. I bumped it on my way back home in heavy Chicago afternoon traffic. Instant classic, I love it
This is mad was listening to this album yesterday thinking will jon ever react to it
One of my favorite albums of all time ✨
I wish I could go back in time to listen to this for the first time 🙌🏻
Life: the biggest troll will always be my favorite Childish Gambino song everyone abt it is perfect
Agreed
Truth
I get goosebumps every time. You know which part I’m talking about
One of my favorite albums ever, stunning, cohesive, and beautiful.
I clicked like as soon as I saw that you were reacting to this.
This has been my favorite album since my first year in college 2014! I absolutely loved this reaction! Much love 🥳🥳😎😎🧡💜❤️
Great reaction as always Jon and congrats on 100K we made it ! 250k here we come
SO GLAD YOU DID THIS REACTION. exactly why this is one of my favorite albums. i really listened to this album in the early stages of my teens. it blew me away musically. it was weird and like you said was challenging to listen to and a very psychological album. i think thats why i became a donald glover fan. i’ve always been someone who likes to digs deeper as far as media goes. and donald truly makes art and things that have layers.
literally reacted the same way to urn and OMG it still gets me everytime, the song literally soothes my soul like no other
So excited to see you doing this one - it's one of my favorite albums. I've probably listened to this more than almost any other album, it's just SO good. I'd love to hear your thoughts again after a few listens!
John...JOHN! We deserve a second reaction to this album. Maybe on a livestream. Theres so much in this. I want to see how you take this album in after you consumed everything around it and really dissect everything once you comprehended the under layers of it.
Yessssir, I love childish, great vid, this album is overlooked af, hyped for the next reaction 🔥
Thank you! 280 likes and 0 dislikes. That's awesome, Jon. You are amazing
I'm so glad when you got to flight of the navigator. Thats the exact reaction I had the first time I heard it all those years ago. I didn't really pay attention to gambino but after that song I was sold, I listened to the whole album and it became one of my favourite of all time.
He completely forgot he was doing a reaction which is nice because I always zone out during that song
Finally, reacting to the GOAT
ong bro
No cap one of my favorite albums of all time. It helped me process emotions in that early period of the internet in a way I cannot accurately describe and will be forever grateful for this man!
I laughed Everytime u were thrown off balance lol
This is tied with 808s & Heartbreak for my favorite album of all time, I'm really glad you're listening to it
Zealots of Stockholm is the ultimate running song
The Dissect podcast on Spotify dissected this album with the screenplay and Glovers life at the time that lead to this album and its incredible. I had a 9 hr drive today and almost listened to all of it and it honestly is life changing knowing all of thay
*jon hears guitar
“This is very Elliot Smith”
I'm so fucking happy!!! Thanks for being such a good channel jon I appreciate you going back to these "modern classics" (this is a top 3 album of all time for me). It's awesome to see a person experience this for the first time.
We need a Piñata and Bandana reaction 🔥🔥
Brad Edmondson yeah he did I think the vid got copyrighted
Because the internet is my favorite album off all time and flight of the navigator also ranks really high on the album for me. I think it doesn't get nearly as much love as it deserves.
This is why this is the best reaction channel on RUclips. I don't think it could be more tailored to my taste in music. Got so excited when this popped up on my timeline.
My favorite album of all time, glad to see your reaction of it.
The guy on guitar on the Worst Guys is the co-producer of the album, Ludwig Gorransson, Oscar-winning composer who did the scores for Black Panther, the Mandalorian, the Creed movies, Venom, Community (how they met), and the upcoming Chris Nolan movie, Tenet. He has co-produced all of Bino's music since his mixtape, Culdesac. Both those guys were ahead of their time with their music.
This is the definitive album of my adolescence. It came out my junior year of high school, and I listened to my CD of it so much it is completely scratched up by now. It was the soundtrack to so many moments when I was becoming an adult. It helped me through random high school shit, carried me through my first experiments with psychedelics, and in general provided me so much joy in a time I was not at my happiest.
Love this album and literally just got the vinyl + script for it last week, so I'm super excited to see what you think.
This my second favorite album of all time (Wolf by Tyler first) it came out on my birthday too. Changed my life and taste in music
Oh my god, what a pleasant suprise, I asked you and Simon to do a few songs from this ages ago
flight of the navigator is extremely underrated is such a beautiful song
Life: The Biggest Troll is such a hard underatted track.
Still on the beat though…
HEY CONGRATS ON 100K SUBS MAN!!! Been a big fan for a long time and it's awesome to see both you and your channel grow and evolve. Keep up the great work!!!!
Congrats on 100k Jon. Plaque on its way!
Jon tell me you've listened to the DISSECT podcast on this! Will make you love the album 3489087x more
Your ability to articulate your feeling of the albums in your reactions allows me to damn near relive hearing it for the first time. Love it man keep it up.
I'm sure others have already mentioned this, but Because The Internet is a concept album that is accompanied by a screenplay by Glover (which is why the tracks have a numeral next to it) and serves as a sequel to Camp, his first album, and the story of "the Boy."
great video! one of my favorite albums of all time
100k congratulations! Well deserved man. Here’s to another 10 more!
16:06. would love to see some sort of video on Elliott
Congrats on 100k you are the man. Love this album so glad to see this
I’m glad that you understood (some of) the deeper meaning behind 3005, that song is genius and complex lyrically
this one is huge, one of my all time favorites EASILY
Yo so I first heard this album in like 2014, I wasn't big into music back then i enjoyed it. Looking through the comments now seeing he had a lyric video with Abella Anderson, and the Clapping for the wrong reasons short film has just completely changed how I hear this album. I'm so confused how I've never heard about any of this 😂 it just shows how ahead of his time Gambino was with the rollout of this project and how great he really is
I'm so happy you did this one. This album means a lot to me and I used to listen to it religiously, like the whole thing every time. It's slightly too weird for a casual listen now but it'll still be one of my top albums
Hella fkin happy that you got 100k subs man! Congratulations and I’m loving the consistency Jon
I usually don't sit through full album reactions but I really enjoyed this! Appreciate your content!
just rewatched this. One of my favourite albums and your reaction released on my birthday
You should definitely check out the interviews he did during this time I feel like they add to the album experience especially if your interested in his psyche because there are sometimes in the interview where he seems to embody the character from Because the Internet because he dressed in similar ways to the characters he played in his music videos at the time and to me just gave off a different vibe than the Donald Glover before this album (but he also could have been going through something during that time) or maybe he was trying to something like Kanye where he changes as a person every album since he took inspiration from him
congratz on 100k! This is my favorite album!
14:01 JOHN YOU'VE PLAYED HOTLINE MIAMI?! The Party definitely reminds me of the the Fans' party from the beginning of 2
You are now one of my favourite reactors, quality stuff big ups!
Dude you have to react to “Awaken, My Love!” by Gambino. His most experimental & best album in my opinion!
Mac Miller - Watching Movies With The Sound off
Phil Mczoly so many people have requested it on his Mac videos, so I’m really surprised he hasn’t did it yet. I really hope he does because WMWTSO is a introspective album and that’s what Jon likes to focus on. He loved Faces, so no doubt he’d love this one.
If u haven’t heard it, you should react to Awaken my love. It’s definitely his best album. It’s completely different from this.
I would really wonder how Abel and Glover would compliment on each other on a track. I mean we they both can hit the high falsetto, you see Donald do it more on " Awaken, my love", but I think if we get a talking Donald it could be a good track with them.
That would be cool
Congrats on passing 100k subs Jon! Keep up the good work man
Saw this video & automatically hit play. This record is one of my favorites of the last decade. I went from thinking it was okay to not liking it to loving it as it aged with me. Weird to think I was a Junior in high school when I bought this on iTunes.
Also, the screenplay is like a hyperbolic extension of Donald & where he was in his life. It starts off as a pseudo-sequel to "Camp", piggybacking off the monologue in "That Power, where he's the last kid on the bus after a humiliating situation with a girl. The script takes an aburdist turn when the kid is picked up by his dad (Played by Rick Ross, btw) in a limo & continues down the rabbithole from there. Again, the script's incredibly weird & absurd but the feelings of loneliness & depression portrayed by "The Boy" (The script's protagonist) mirror many of feelings & problems plaguing Donald's mind at that point in his career. Most of the interviews during this time paint that picture as well. Donald saw "The Boy" as a toxic phase in his life with problems he saw in others (a reason why the bars a huge whiff of deprecation, either towards others or himself) so he created a character, molded in his own self image, to create somewhat of a cautionary tale. Something that spoke to the automative social media age we were entering but also spoke on the issue of us becoming desensitized & detached to world around us (Big reason why he credits himself with his govt. name on the last track. Life has made him disassociate with himself to point where he doesn't really know who he is anymore.)
I know I rambled a lot but this record really is something incredibly dense and interesting to dissect. It took me damn near 3 years before I even came to this conclusion & I feel like BTI is just gonna continue to change & re-contextualize in my mind as I grow older. I'm glad you enjoyed it as you did.
PS - Here's a link to the script & the short film he made along with it, "Clapping for the Wrong Reasons". The Boy's house in the script is based around the house in the short & many of his friends are modeled after Donald's actual friends in the short.
The Script: drive.google.com/file/d/0B7fe7ljMOHssZkJPaWNGSWp1ZjQ/view
Clapping for the Wrong Reasons: ruclips.net/video/Z_bONLcE8IA/видео.html
been waiting for this one! because the internet is dope, and the manuscript that comes along with it is an ok read aswell.
Please do the royalty mixtape! Its what he released just before this album and has some of his best rapping on it. And if you do more of his stuff also do the stn mtn/ Kauai mixtape/ep. Both of those projects are awesome.
my favorite album, thank you
Congrats on 100k my man this album is one of my all time faves Gambino truly a genius check out the mini movie he made about this album clapping for the wrong reasons a great and Trippy 20 min film
You've gotta react to his first studio album camp, almost a decade old and still amazing
This album was everything the first half of my senior year
I've liked this album for a while but It's recently become one of my favorites of all time
Can you react to the new Peggy single, Bald
can’t believe this is the same guy in community, i love donald glover so much
You gotta listening to it again guaranteed your going to love it the more you listen to it
Don’t know if you’ve reacted/listened to them, but would love to hear you react to Tame Impala, especially Currents!
ive never clicked so fast. this album is masterful. also, this is not music related.. but, if youve never seen Atlanta (starring Donald Glover) 100% go watch it immediately.
I could be wrong but I see this album as having different experiences throughout your life, some reckless and some passionate, and by the end of your life realizing you dont want to die
Also everytime I listen to this album I think of another thing it could mean and I think that may be the point since gambino doesnt lole to define his art
