CHANCE THE RAPPER

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????

its called musical transcendence look it up

finding it hard to get into this, just like surf last year. loved acid rap, but not much chance has done after.

to longneck : i didn't try the datpiff version so idk...

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

In a way

I'm fairly confident chance has not signed a record deal but I do not know the terms of his deal with Apple

I am guessing it is a content deal song the lines of what Drake has with apple

*along

was the datpiff version just a shitty rip of the stream? it's down now

after a few listens i'm starting to really like it, which is exactly the opposite reaction i've had from other hip hop records this year (except kendrick's)

One of the things i like the most about Chance is that he raps over juke beats and he's really good at it so i'm a bit disappointed cuz this has no juke beats.

Mixtape is so weird. I kinda love it but it doesn't even feel like Chance is on it.

The song "Mixtape" that is. Not this mixtape.

so i'm a bit disappointed cuz this has no juke beats.

^why 'Juke Joint' was disappointing

Mixtape is so weird. I kinda love it but it doesn't even feel like Chance is on it.

Well Yachty kinda outshines him too and that feels so... weird.

not gonna concede that point but it sounds like a thugger song regardless

coloring book is a good album.

bummed out by wayne on "no problem" which is great except for him.

Great album but good lord that first track sounds like complete shit, that low brass noise and the vocoders just crashing into everything else. Pretty sure I'm listening to the supposedly superior AAC version as well.

The rest is nearly uniformly fantastic.

Yeah the «aac» is slightly less abrasive but still sounds like shit, unfortunately. Why did Acid Rap and Surf both sound so much better than this?

maybe he wanted to make it more of a genuine mixtape experience

The rest of it sounds fine so in the absence of a better explanation I'm going to blame Kanye.

when in doubt

Does anyone think this is better than Acid Rain and the best parts of Surf (i.e. Sunday Candy) though? It's mostly v blissful to me but I have a hard time ranking it over his previous work.

I'll take it over Acid Rap, but Sunday Candy is the best thing he's ever done.

i have the exact opposite opinion of this post ^

I agree that it could use more juke beats, but it still has a juke sensibility in parts. Angels, for instance. The interplay between the horns and beats in the chorus sounds quite jukish to me. The end of Summer Friends, after Jeremiah comes in, the beats begin changing, and it almost hints at a juke jam before it ends. In other places, I think the rhythmic interplay from juke is influencing the way Chance rides the beat. The way parts of the songs seem to flow in different tempi.
