Tina Fey, known best for her Emmy-winning turn as the harried and woebegone showrunner on 30 Rock, raps a powerful final verse on "Real Estate," a track on the new mixtape of fellow NBC star Donald Glover, who performs under the name Childish Gambino. And as could be expected, Fey combines a hard front with some meta-pokes at the very fact that she's slinging rhymes on what is otherwise a serious tape with plenty of big names (The RZA, Schoolboy-Q, Danny Brown and Beck included).
