Childish Gambino Covers P.M. Dawn’s “I’d Die Without You”

PM DawnYou must understand how it makes my heart smile to hear one of these kids remake a song that I jammed to like crazy when I was younger.  I promise you that I was the only devout P.M. Dawn fan that I ever knew of.  Back in the days before the internet, Napster, iTunes and YouTube.  A time when people went to the record store to buy CD’s.  When CD towers were necessary to house your music and the GB’s were unlimited.  I proudly owned a copy of Of the Heart, Of the Soul and Of the Cross:  The Utopian Experience and The Bliss Album? (Vibrations of Love and Anger and the Ponderance of Life and Existence)(1993)  I straight up worshipped Prince Be.  My friends ALWAYS scoffed when I threw the P.M. Dawn into the CD player.  Or bumped it in my car.  I didn’t care.  Never been one to conform.  I’ve always thought that these guys were musical geniuses and I have seen them sampled but never recognized on many occasions.  I wasn’t totally sure who Childish Gambino was when something referencing P.M. Dawn came across one of my feeds, but upon a quick Google search I found out that he was the young man from Community and that his real name is Donald Glover… cool so he is an actor, rapper and comic (Wikipedia)…  And he covers P.M Dawn?  I am now his biggest fan and predict a bright future for this young man.  Check out his excellent rendition of “I’d Die Without You”.

So yeah, these days I listen to my favorite group on iTunes through my ear buds.  No matter how old I get I am always mesmerized by the melodic smooth sounds, tight beats and poetic EPIC lyrics of P.M. Dawn, the most underrated Hip Hop group of all time.  This group was WAY ahead of its time in my opinion and could probably be more appreciated today.  Whether young or old…do yourself a favor and download a copy.

What are some of your favorite remakes?
