Childish Gambinos music lets you imagine the story is he trying to portray in his lyrics and beats. He is also very entertaining from the "weird" and fantasy type music videos it is not like typical musicians that just dance to the music. Gambino makes his music videos into art, through the way he shows his lyrics and story into a typical 4 minute music video. But once you finish watching the video people may either be like "What did i just watch?" or "Wow that was amazing", It just depends on how the person views the music and the video he has created for it. You cant really distinguish what category of music Childish Gambino is because some of his music can be Soul, Rnb, Hip Hop, Rap, Rock. But you can say that he is a genius, his music gives a change to the typical music that is played on the radio and if you really listen to the lyrics you can see the story he is singing/rapping about and also understand the music video.
