CHANCE THE RAPPER

let me put my mouth where you potty, boo

haha

Sorry, wasn't aware of many rappers whose voice grated some like Chance's. It is an odd comparison.

Maybe it's the "neh neh neah" voice that's the most annoying... And some of the singing as well...

Ha.

this talk about his weird grating voice is strange to me because it's so similar to lil wayne's? i mean not identical but certainly in the same lane, and it's made pretty obvious at the start of the tape when he says "please say the rapper"

i'm mostly with rtc in that i don't find what chance says particularly compelling, it's all a bit too backpackery for me though i don't hate it or anything

what does 'too backpackery' mean in relation to what he's talking abt

i def thought his earlier stuff was a little too much The Craft Of Song and not enough of him in it, but recent stuff is more fully fleshed out.

Man...I can't at all understand anyone who says they don't find him compelling. "Paranoia" breaks my heart every time I hear it. I can't remember the last song that did the same.

yeah i don't get that criticism at all

Rapping about your close friend being stabbed to death doesn't strike me as excessively backpackery tbh

Lol at the idea of reducing a goofball like him to I R SERIOUS RAP tho, even if he does have some shit gettin' too real moments

that one's not on acid rap

idk it's all fine i guess but it doesn't feel distinct, or anything i feel i need to go back to? nothing about it is substandard but i can't pinpoint anything that really stands out for me, i feel like it all reminds me of other stuff

oh the weed coughs are pretty dnw i guess

I must be in a morbid mood because it's the death-related lines that stuck with me.

that one's not on acid rap

"Paranoia"? It's like part 2 of the second track.

I got a new backpack. I'm gonna put the Chance album in it!

oh is that why there's a huge gap in the middle of "pusha man", i did wonder

sorry, it didn't hit me or grab me then :/ i admit my attention had almost completely wandered by the last few tracks though. (this was a long-belated relisten, i hadn't heard it since my first go)

we all sing along to the chorus on Cocoa Butter Kisses, right?

the last few tracks are the best on the album

Agreed. "Acid Rain" is awesome.

I think he'll be great live, despite my earlier posts. And do think it's clearly one of the best tapes this year.

"acid rain" is totally gripping

I love the part about missing the diagonal grilled cheeses

what is the line about the need for an introspective dance track

the "Pusha Man" through "Juice" stretch is completely perfect music imo

OTM.

def

the whole album is the best part of the album

^^^ my memoir title

Yeah... it was okay.

Maybe chanting U.S.A. and running off stage at the end isn't an awesome move in Europe. In fact, there were more than a few amateurish moves, including cutting off tracks early and sort of criticizing the audience for not 'having fun', but I guess he's still finding his feet in front of different audiences.

criticizing the audience for not 'having fun'

Everyone does this now.

I mean, obviously not acts who are good enough live to make the audience actually have fun, but there are a lot of butthurt whining performers around nowadays.

idk having seen them perform up close sounds like someone who isn't used to the way a rap DJ interacts w/ the crowd

dj oreo is a thorough fuckin party DJ

'as of late, all my verses seem not so versey'

he killed live when we saw him in toronto.

show sold out. originally was 15$ ended up being way more expensive if you didn't get tickets in advance (we did).

high energy all the way through, crowd knew the words to most of the songs, chance was loving it. granted he wasn't opening for a big tour - it was a day off in between stops on the mac miller tour and he was the headliner at the hoxton which is small-ish but still, he definitely knows how to work a crowd.

Actually, yeah, I thought DJ Oreo was great. The intro was amazing fun.

But don't get me wrong, the show was fine as a whole. I go to rap show often enough, but was surprised that they really took it in the direction of full blown party atmosphere. Sometimes the hype and vibe works to just enhance what's already there, sometimes it feels a bit forced. Maybe I just wasn't feeling for some reason.

Under the circumstances, for a Wednesday night in Amsterdam, they had to work hard and in the end it was pretty crazy.

Really picked up on the Eminem influence on Chance live tho.

i wish i didn't look up what song that was, i wish i never looked up what songs rap songs are

Men don’t comfort or love her in reality. They only have sex with her in her fantasies. In her dreams, he still deeply cares for her (at least sexually)

This guy that she likes doesn’t love her, or really take her seriously, or show her any real affection (sexual or not). And even in her dreams when he does show her “love” it’s only because of the sex. Which isn’t even love, it’s lust. So, either way, she’s not getting what she truly wants from him.

rap genius is dumbq

lolololol.

Terrific gig, loved the trumpet and Chance's dancing.
