ItвЂ™s STN MTNвЂs final act thatвЂ™s most impressive. The strange facsimile of FutureвЂ™s вЂњMove That DopeвЂќ Gambino spits over leaves something to be desired (namely, the real beat) and that particular medleyвЂ™s later guest appearance from Young Scooter is probably the projectвЂ™s only useful feature, as the rest of GloverвЂ™s ROYALTY crew are entertaining in doses, but largely bland. He mixes new tracks with old instrumentals confidently, if inconsistently.

There are two things that happen at the beginning of the mixtape that gives a winking, idiosyncratic bent on the classical Gangsta Grillz form, namely American Dad! voice actor Scott Grimes doing an opening drop as his character Steve Smith, and a brief but notableВ sample of BjorkвЂ™s вЂњVenus As A Boy.вЂќ From there, it feels like some capable, exciting, but at times hollow cosplay of mixtape era Lil Wayne, an influence of GloverвЂ™s dated back to the Sick Boi days. DJ Drama makes for a surprisingly apt co-star in this extended roleplay exercise, fomenting GloverвЂ™s status while punching up tracks that might otherwise seem rote, like the previously released вЂњ Candler Road.вЂќ The man that reminded us that Dedication 3 was the first tape we bumped while we had a black president is a blast here, musing on texts from angry exes like some Weird Twitter-y Nicolas Cage version of himself. He seems less concerned with solidifying his place in the pantheon of Important Southern Voices and more preoccupied with silencing casual listeners who may consider Australian born Iggy Azalea more вЂњauthenticвЂќ just because she gets snapchats from TI. He may be dismissed in the critical conversation in favor ofВ seemingly more credible MCs, but he shows serious chops here, despite leaning too heavily on regional points of reference, shouting out neighborhood landmarks like earned badges of honor. The former is essentially a forceful reminder that, despite being an arch hipster and having written for 30 Rock, Glover is an ATL native. When the mixtape ends and Gambino вЂњwakes upвЂќ we flip to KAUAI, a confection of pure, pop bliss. STN MTN is a bonafide Gangsta Grillz mixtape, complete with drops from DJ Drama, set in an alternate reality where Gambino is the biggest rapper in the South, вЂњRoscoeвЂ™s WetsuitвЂќ has sold 10 million copies, strippers get MotherвЂ™s Day off and Chik-Fil-A is open on Sundays. This project feels like twin children born from that song, a split mixtape/EP that furthers the concept albumВ stylings of bti with a simple, yet vital conceit. That albumвЂ™s absolute apex was a track called вЂњTelegraph Ave (Oakland)вЂќ and its biggest strength was the cinematic depth put into the track, with its layered, nesting doll intricacy. Childish Gambino, finally found his true niche in music: the man has a serious knack for the conceptual. On his last studio album, because the internet, Donald Glover, a.k.a. Thug motivation, I was never a thug and they used to respect me for itД«ut now the gameвЂ™s fucked up and I gotta Michael Corleone these niggas
