Gambino’s earliest attempts, Sick Boi and Poindexter, didn’t fair as well. Only Love Is Crazy from Sick Boi received any votes (two). As for Poindexter, only Sunshine, I’m So Focused, and So Much Better garnered votes (three, two, and one, respectively).
His miscellaneous tracks released over the years are loved by few. Other than Break (seven votes) and Longest Text Message (five), no other randomly released songs received more than two votes.

As for newly released tracks, some have already found a special place in fans’ hearts. Eat Your Vegetables, which debuted the D-Money moniker, was voted upon three times. As well, We Ain’t Them, Black Faces, Unnecessary, and One Up each received a vote.
That about sums it up. Sorry for the length, friends. But the diversity in which you all love Gambino is somewhat astounding. I felt the need to share the results.
