but you understand that the role of christianity is very different on chicago's south side & in its music than it may be for yourself

chance isn't all relentless positivity though and i think that came through a lot on Acid Rap

This feels like the lightbeam gospel that TLOP hinted at but didn't really deliver. I love it.

This might be competing with Lemonade for album of the year.

i do think he has sort of deemphasized his own rapping... this def shares a sort of structure or maybe ethos w/ the social experiment album where the guests are really foregrounded and he feels more like part of a tapestry than the center of attention. it's obv not as pronounced as surf but it feels more of a piece w/ that than acid rap. similarly there was a sociological perspective on acid rap that i found really illuminating & refreshing and that too has receded a bit prob because the circumstances of his own life have changed drastically.

acid rap was p beats to rhymes trad this one is crazily songy p impressive im liking him more like that, didnt listen to surf
― lag∞n, Friday, 13 May 2016 19:01 (eight years ago) link
yeah i mean this one is obv crazy accomplished on a music & songwriting level and by comparison acid rap feels stripped down. but there was like an overarching aesthetic vision to acid rap that still felt preternatural to me & something like "good ass outro" was just crazy good on a musical level. i do miss that beats to rhymes thing tho, i really was savoring the second "blessings"
― J0rdan S., Friday, 13 May 2016 19:05 (eight years ago) link
is it crazy to admit I like him less when he sings?

Listening to Sunday Candy on repeat, sooooo good. I liked it before, but not like this.
The way his singing is the rhythm track in Blessings is so good.
― Frederik B, Friday, 13 May 2016 19:25 (eight years ago) link
i will listen to surf i mean tbh i did at least .5 times already before
― lag∞n, Friday, 13 May 2016 19:27 (eight years ago) link
I love that 'Sunday Candy' is both a reference to the eucharist and oral sex.
― Frederik B, Friday, 13 May 2016 19:29 (eight years ago) link
I'm loving this so far. It's more immediate and song-oriented than Surf, but it takes the "party and everyone's invited" vibe that I loved about that project and combines it with the joyous and infectious personality of Acid Rap.

I'm also glad that Somewhere in Paradise didn't make the tape. It's pretty lightweight when compared to some of the tracks that did make the cut.

for those worried, there's a proper rip with a proper mix out there.

yeah, it was nice when Surf was a free download on itunes, dunno why they didn't do that again unless they really are trying hard to market Apple Music and/or phase out purchased downloads
― a goon shaped tool (some dude), Saturday, 14 May 2016 13:37 (eight years ago) link
wonder how much apple pays for these short windows of exclusivity

I don't think they're trying to phase out downloads. I imagine the tape will be available for free download when it stops being exclusive and migrates onto other streaming platforms
Apple still makes a good deal of money on downloads, they won't phase them out until they're making more money off Apple Music than iTunes. That's definitely not happening yet

longneck you should look for the aac rip on soulseek
― ANU (sisilafami), Saturday, 14 May 2016 16:10 (eight years ago) link
i think i read on billboard that putting it up as a stream first allows it to be counted as an official album release (i.e. soundscan will count the streams up) which, among other things, mean it can be entered from grammy consideration
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 14 May 2016 16:18 (eight years ago) link

he did a deal with apple though & apple is trying to scale subscriptions to its streaming service
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Saturday, 14 May 2016 16:53 (eight years ago) link
Thanks, sisi. I don't use soulseek but the aac tag helped me search for it. Will give this version a try. Is the apple music version as bad as the datpiff version or is there a difference?
― human and working on getting beer (longneck), Saturday, 14 May 2016 20:56 (eight years ago) link
various ilxors currently arguing abt whether chance is an independent artist on twitter but the thing is no one really knows his status, he might just be a disney boy band, or he cld be selling mixtapes out of the trunk of his car, jayz mightve signed him to a 360 deal five years ago

He's not signed to a label or a publishing company but he's signed to CAA.
