Childish Gambino gives us his own style of brag track with 'Unnecessary', which appears on his ROYALTY mixtape. He recruited ScHoolboy Q for a verse, but it's really Childish's show. This actually isn't the mixtape version of the song. That one features an additional interlude-type stanza by Ab-Soul. In fact, all the verses are pretty standard for these guys. Childish packs his with witty jokes and references, while Q uses his signature style of rushing rap. The simple, yet ominous beat and the two hooks are the real fine points of this song. Gambino lists all the opulent things he does and buys, concluding each line by saying "that's unnecessary". Glover proudly flaunts all the excesses he has access to, and openly acknowledges that he doesn't have to live like this, but he will because he can.
