This isn't the first time Childish Gambino has had problems with Glassnote Records over "Sweatpants," a track from his latest album, "Because The Internet." Last year, following a leak of the song, Gambino was similarly unhappy.
im 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
— Childish Gambino (@DonaldGlover) November 25, 2013
to be clear, im not talking about my fans, or blogs, or anyone who post my music after leaks. i want my music out
