Because the Internet
Childish Gambino
2013
Because the Internet is the story of rapper Rick Ross’s nameless (to us, at least) son. Gambino calls this character The Boy, and we follow him on a Great Gatsby-esque adventure around Los Angeles and Sweden as he keeps up his Twitter fame by retweeting celebrities’ goofy comments, taking video of somebody getting shot up outside a club, selling weed, and falling in love (sort of).
