Camp found itself oversaturated with poppy production better suited for Kidz Bop reiterations and childish (pun!) punchlines derivative of the likes of Lil Wayne and a 2000s-era Ludacris.

Gambino (née Donald Glover) hasn’t completely grasped who he is as a recording artist, but he’s almost there. “Crawl,” the album’s opening track, borrows production cues from the Kanye and Friends eras of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and Cruel Summer. Gambino is comfortable here, spewing referential punchlines inspired by internet memes: “ain’t nobody got time for that, ain’t nobody gotta rhyme with that,” and at one point he goofily raps “hashtag, niggas be like.” Sonically, it’s a grandiose tableau of decadence crumbling with force. “Crawl” is one of many tracks in which Gambino is arrogant and lively.

On Because The Internet’s best track, “Shadows,” producer and instrumentalist Thundercat makes an appearance supplying golden arpeggio guitar licks. ![]()
