Donald Glover Ranks Kendrick Lamar Albums; Settles Beatles Vs. Migos

by HHL JT

Donald Glover is blowing up on both the big screen and the music charts.

He'll be co-starring as Lando Calrissian in the upcoming Star Wars flick Solo, and his rap alter-ego Childish Gambino has the most streamed song in America with "This Is America". 

Glover sat down with Noisey for some Q&A. In it, he was asked to rank the Migos vs. the Beatles and Elvis. His answer continued a trend in which he heaps praise on the boys from Atlanta in a way that straddles genuine admiration and trolling.

"Maybe it's because, like, Migos is kind of a local band to me," he said. "They're from my hometown and I heard them all the time ... I'm just going to go with the Migos."

He also said this when asked to choose between Kendrick Lamar albums.

"All those albums are great, but Damn.is kind of an instant classic, right?" Glover said. "To Pimp a Butterfly is, like, off the wall where you're like these are some good songs and it has a purpose.  But I feel like with Damn. he condensed all of it into one cohesive thing."

Do you agree with Glover on Kendrick (and the Migos)?
