It's clear this isn't meant to be anything more than a fun project. Chick-Fli-A won't open on Sundays, but at least now we have a Gangsta Grillz and Gambino mixtape. Well, he made it pretty clear what this is. Dream * Southern Hospitality * Partna Dem One listen, absolute first impressions, Childish Gambino, STN MTN, let’s go…. It’s a mixtape so the stakes are relatively low, and it’s Gambino so there will be at least some depth to make a follow-up review worthwhile. It’s an experiment in internet music, I’m all about experimenting, and I figured there was no better place to try out a 1 Listen Album Review than with Childish Gambino’s new STN MTN mixtape. As a general rule, I try to remain allergic to fronting, so what if we did something different? What if we were completely transparent, listened to an album once-in fact, only listened to each song on the album once-and then wrote a first impression review? And then what if we followed up with another review a month later after allowing the album to truly marinate? What would the difference between the two reviews be? How good would our gut reactions turn out to be? What if I only wrote in questions?
