“‘Lithonia’ is coming out July 2nd,” he said (transcribed by Hiphopdx). “That got leaked. It kinda pissed me off, to be honest. That’s another reason why y’all don’t get good shit. For what? It’s not valuable enough. It’s just a single.”
In his live session, Gambino really pressed on people to enjoy life more, reminiscing about more unifying events from his childhood. “I’m trying to have fun. Sounds like a plan. Perhaps it’s easier when things are going great, but regardless of personal circumstance, he has a point.
Because I feel like there’s just people not having enough fun,” he said. “When I was a kid there was, like, big things that would unite us, and I just feel bad for y’all. I feel bad for some of y’all.”
Reflecting on the current state of entertainment, Gambino remarked, “Even this year, the most fun we had was from a fight. [It] was a song from a fight, from a rap beef, which I enjoyed every minute of. It was very fun. But still kind of negative in a certain light, I guess.” Wonder who Gambino was rooting for, if anyone. That’s a question we all want to know.
In May, Gambino released Atavista (3.15.20 reimagined versions), an 11-track reimagining of his March 2020 project, “3.15.20”.
