Best of 2011: Songs
Artist: Childish Gambino
Song: Freaks and Geeks
Album: EP

First seeing Donald Glover in Community, I felt like I had to have a listen to his music, and I have to admit, he’s a clever rapper. His songs are full of little jokes and puns, and while there are a few I like, none of them keep me coming back like Freaks and Geeks. The rap is so tightly wound, creative and funny, and it’s kind of a low key song, but it bursts with boundless energy, and it’s a must have for any rap fan, in my opinion.

Artist: Bad Lip Reading
Song: Russian Unicorn
Album: n/a

Bad Lip Reading is a Youtube channel where the clever little devils behind it take a music video, give it a new beat, and the lyrics are… well, Bad Lip Reading. The videos preceding this are all good in their own right, but it was with Russian Unicorn that the songs themselves actually became good songs by themselves, instead of just parodies. It even warranted a thumbs up from the Bubster himself.
