CHANCE THE RAPPER

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

ooooooooh!

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.

gospel rap (in honor of new chance)

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

this is way better lemonade is p bad

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

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"

is it crazy to admit I like him less when he sings?

CHANCE THE GOSPELLER

i got kinda tired of him listening to him on acid rap even tho he was obvs very good, guess im feeling him a lil more when he like u were saying steps back a bit xp

u should listen to surf

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.

i will listen to surf i mean tbh i did at least .5 times already before

I love that 'Sunday Candy' is both a reference to the eucharist and oral sex.

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.

I keep hearing them sing *Never Trump' in the second part of Finish Line.

juke jam is incred imo

oh god the mix on first two tracks

i hope they Kanye that shit and fix it

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

how would a fan 'fix' a mix without the multitrack studio files

is the apple music one better? xp

it's so confusing that this is on 'apple music' but not the itunes store lol

sisi, Imma need your help with this one. Where should I look?

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

wonder how much apple pays for these short windows of exclusivity

they are trying hard to ... etc

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

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

entered for...

he did a deal with apple though & apple is trying to scale subscriptions to its streaming service

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?

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

who is future and why does he always like an anemic dog

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

which is what... a mafia front????

In a way
