Above, hear “Real Estate,” a track from actor/writer/rapper/Georgia native Donald Glover’s new mixtape as Childish Gambino (titled Royalty). Aside from guest spots by actual rappers Alley Boy and Swank, the song features a particularly hot verse from Liz Lemon herself, Glover pal Tina Fey.
As she raps on the track:
Yeah, we in here. We in this thing. Gambino is forever. Royalty is forever. We ballin’ ’til we fuckin’ up the hardwood, homie. This is the life we live, son. My president is black and my Prius is blue, mothafucka! Royalty all day! We droppin’ racks at Nordstrom, son. That’s racks on racks, damn it! You feel me? This is the part where most people would say something crazy and drop the N-word after it. Not doing it. Not gonna do that. I don’t feel comfortable! I’m out!
So, yeah. Her flow is a bit, how do I say this, stilted, but still, it’s a nice cameo and another deliciously left-field move from Glover.
Next up: the Chevy Chase spot, where he’ll address all the “Community” drama with a filthy, Ol’ Dirty Bastard-esque tirade. It’s gotta happen, right? RIGHT?
