Childish Gambino's 'Sweatpants' leaks, Donald Glover not happy 'Because The Internet' [LISTEN]

Childish Gambino's "Sweatpants" leaked early this morning, well, Because The Internet. But Donald Glover wasn't too happy about it. "F**k this," he tweeted. "im [sic] pissed. this song was not supposed to come out tonight. im trying to create one of the more imaginative rollouts, and other people's lust for money and impatience is ruining it. to be clear, im not talking about my fans, or blogs, or anyone who post my music after leaks. i want my music out...but it could've been better."

And that sentiment is understandable for an artist. But in this day and age, as a fan of his noted, "@DonaldGlover but that's a perfect example of how your album title is so relevant to how s**t happens."

As we have come to know quite well here at Music Times, tracks leak on the Internet all the time. That's how it works these days. But back to the music:

The track keeps a steady flow over a simple beat with a subtle "oh, ah" scream loops in and out. Cali rapper Problem takes the hook: "Don't be mad cause I'm doing me better than you doing you / Better than you doing you, f**k, what you gon' do?" Gambino taunts, "I got more tail than that PetCo / you faker than some Sweet'N Low.... "I'm winnin' / yeah, yeah/ I'm winnin'/ Rich kid, a**hole, paint me as a villain'."
