So it seems like Maggot Brain by Funkadelic was the inspiration for Awaken My Love by Childish Gambino.
Have a listen. The guitar riffs are almost the same for a few songs, the drum patterns are the same, the vocal style is similar, and the general feeling of the album is similar.

FUCK CHILDISH GAMBINO

Damn.
Can you get to that = Have Some Love Hit it and quit it = Boogieman OR You and your folks... Super stupid = Riot Back in our minds = California (those bells)
Probably copied more from this group, just from different albums
Julian Gutierrez
duh
Benjamin Lopez
i really like the guitar riff in The Night Me And Your Mama Met
reminds me of the guitar riff in The Worst Guys
Grayson Scott
Maybe it's just generic funk
Joseph Cook
And Redbone pulled directly from Bootsy
Christopher Stewart
why did he copy the album art?
Oliver Foster
I can't tell if its an homage or a blatant ripoff
Alexander Brown
Rather be with you?
Josiah Collins
but Awaken my love is good though
Easton Smith
Is the back a skull?
Cameron Wilson
kind of seems like blatant ripoff
Angel Green
Yeah this definitely is not an homage. People thought the album cover was an homage, but little did they know that the entire fucking album would pull directly from Maggot Brain.
Christopher Hall
What a load of shit honestly. I haven't heard the album but I believe you, his because the internet album was pretty shitty. Maggot Brain has one of the most beautiful songs ever made (Maggot Brain) and should be respected.
Joseph Hall
fuck you I like it
Jordan Jenkins
Yep, that's the one.
Luis Taylor
"Maggot Brain" is absolutely incredible. Where can I find entire albums of music that sound like that song?
Justin Turner
What went wrong here? The singles that hyped this release were incredible. I'm not mad that its a modern Funkadelic album, I just think the overuse of the autotune plus the hiatus he took made me expect something more
Dylan Davis
Not sure man. Its so disappointing. I do like the two singles and Baby Boy though. All 3 great songs.
Xavier Cook
I appreciate it. But that's about it, so stale and underwhelming, can't believe he quit rap for this
Carson Brown
America eats it's young is a similar style, anything by Parliament/Funkadelic though.
