Childish Gambino is possibly one of the most versatile rappers in the industry, but oh, so slept on. From being a writer for "30 Rock," to playing Troy on "Community," he developed a large fan following before he even released his first EP and never fails to keep them guessing and entertained. But what is it about him that keeps fans coming back for more?

1. He's not afraid to take risks.

Making the jump from television star to full on rap legend is a nerve racking one. One that he didn't take lightly, I might add. On the "Arsenio Hall Show," he makes it clear that reason he left "Community" was simply so that he would be able to pursue other projects.

2. His vision is unlike any other.

When crafting his sophomore album, instead of going the usual release a single and music video route, he opted to turn the album into an experience. "Because the Internet" was paired with an interactive screenplay, while the album served as the movie's score.

3. He sings.

Much like Drake, Gambino isn't scared to show his softer side and belt out a ballad or two.

4. He knows that friends make the best collaborators.

5. He can put on a show.

It's one thing for a show to be enjoyable, but when the artist makes the show an experience? That's when the effect becomes life changing and memorable.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
