Where The Buffalo Roam

         The life of Childish Gambino is over. I cried listening to his final album knowing it was the end. Was I ready? I’ve waited for years for this album. I was blessed enough to see his final tour, knowing it would be the last time I would see Childish Gambino perform on stage. I was present, I was proud, I was honored. But now, with the release of 3.15.20 it is all bittersweet. He will never perform these songs live.

         Maybe I have put him on a peddle stool, but he surely deserves all the praise he gets. It started as laughing at his character on Community to finding out he’s a rapper. I downloaded all his mixtapes, wondering why he wasn’t signed to a label. I followed his acting career, wondering why it took everyone so long to realize his genius. I saw him perform live the day after Bonfire was released. It was a long time before people in the club were rapping his songs along with me.
