Overconfident narcissist? Overachieving black kid at band camp? Childish Gambino releases a tirade, as is his wont, about those who doubt him yet love Chance. Or those who would dare question his skills in the face of all the privilege he lacks. The Atlanta references hint at an explicit Drake obsession but the rhymes are B+ strong because he studied so hard. Check the rant freestyle vid after the jump.

As if this headline weren't ridiculous enough, watch the footage of Donald Glover a.k.a. Childish Gambino acting...well, childish. This is all part of a performance meant to hype a crowd in Sydney, Australia and to live precisely in a moment. But, the actor-turned-rapper is often so caught up in his own internet self-awareness (i.e. titling last year's proper debut Because The Internet) that it's hard to believe this was all spontaneous. What does he stand to gain from name-dropping? Check the video after the jump.
