CHANCE THE RAPPER

the song w/ wayne and 2 chainz is pretty weak imo

also, he gets killed on his own shit

well that is true -- but it's a very good song that was a hit

ok fine I will listen to Acid Rap again

I really love the grownup gospel positivity vibez of Coloring Book, he doesn't put a foot wrong on it imo

Huh yeah acid rap is better, just the rhymes alone

I found it interesting that Chance the Rapper is so popular and yet most of his music is really unavailable in any hard format. It is a unique and modern way of controlling his own content.

I got my Grammys in the mail. Thank you everyone who made this music with me, especially this girl right here. #ColoringBook #BestRapAlbum #butitwasamixtape #IDidItWithGod #ChanceTebow 🤷🏽‍♀️ pic.twitter.com/LLFB8PGzcf

it's an… unboxing video for his grammys

whenever I see this thread bumped I expect to see something like "Chance the Rapper takes over as host of Prairie Home Companion"

Like it says, 4 new songs:

could be a headline about any rapper from any city

sometimes i find chance to be extremely annoying

The Onion better be careful. They might be next.

Wala Cam is incredible

surely "I Might Need Security" is the standout? Strong lyrics, fun use of the sample

Wala Cam lyrics sound very freestyled

don't really care for I Might Need Security but the other 3 (especially Wala Cam) are great and better than most of Coloring Book

feel pretty good about these after more listens... “wala cam” is rly good

work out is dope too, might need security sample is fun but his punchlines are kinda wack

sometimes i find chance to be extremely annoying

strike the "sometimes" for me

hes annoying but makes good music and can rap his ass off is how i break it down to an extent

Lagoon how was the woods

great thanks for asking

I really like the four new songs

lagoon glad to have you back thought leading

Agree w lagoon

New songs R dope

“wala cam” is def my fav but the others are good too

Security is fave even if just cause it led me back to the eponymous Jamie Foxx special

Acid Rap and 10Day now on Spotify.

Haven't listened to 10Day in a very long time, but I can't imagine that it's aged too well. Its best song, "Windows," is the one song they couldn't clear I guess.

this was pretty interesting: https://www.theringer.com/music/2019/7/10/18862239/chance-the-rapper-new-album-acid-rap-rerelease-backlash

LOL, apparently there was a 5-foot alligator (!) sighted in one of Chicago's park lagoons (where I just went paddle boating a couple of weeks ago). Inevitably, it has been dubbed Chance the Snapper, and it has a twitter account.

Ugh I hated that. It’s so corny and doesn’t even make sense. Snappers are fish or turtles. Chance is from Chatham not humboldt park. I feel like the motivation for the name was some weird bourgie anxiety abt a “rough area” projected onto the rapper who soothes those anxieties for ppl

Huh. I thought it was just something that rhymed with "Rapper." I was a big fan of "Romancing the Stone" when I was a kid, and the bad guy in that movie has an alligator pit, and he's aways saying "look at those snappers!"

They could have named him Chief Teef

Ha!

album is out

CocoRosie is on this...

lol

lmao at the contributors

So far, this is not good...

I really want to like this cause I'm getting bored w/ unambitious 30-minute rap records but uhhh

it feels mean to dislike this cause it's so good-natured and warmly arranged but at this point I guess I should just accept this is Not My Thing

I will conclude my remarks by saying "Roo" is quite nice

i did not love roo, but a few other tracks have been pretty good. i'm sure whatever playlist i make of this album will be good, but not at the level of the last two.

hot shower is awesome lol

just got to the randy newman collab and uh...

I like 5 Year Plan, but generally this is not corny enough :(

the outro isn't bad, but the middle section grates like crazy

Is this as bad as they make it out to be? Loved Acid Rap and Coloring Book but the comments I’ve read on this one are not positive at all.

it's not horrible, and I did find the more palatable material crops up later on. it's just a lot of his thing to deal with in one sitting
