CHANCE THE RAPPER

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

It’s definitely not bad, but the first two tracks leave a bad taste that lingered. I’m definitely not allergic to his sentimental stuff (Same Drugs was either my fav or second fav CB track), and I think the album as a whole will make more sense in a live setting, but I definitely think it’s a step down.

It's backloaded, yeah, but it's a step down. Nothing as good as Same Drugs, Summertime Friends or Sunday Candy. The productions are too boring.

Def Chance’s New Jersey but still good

this is pretty underwhelming, i like chance's sound so it's still generally pleasant and the production is very lush but the hooks aren't there compared to his previous work and it's pretty forgettable overall. absolutely does not need to be nearly 80 minutes either, but barely anything does. maybe there's a good album in it with half the tracks removed idk

I think the general reception to this is already too negative to even qualify as a New Jersey.

Definitely cool that a white Twitch streamer with this as his avatar is dunking on a black man for being happy.

I love Chance. The tweet is still funny

the backlash to it is somewhat understandable especially since chance is kinda corny in general and that grates with me sometimes even though i'm generally a fan, but still seems quite excessive - it's not a bad terrible album just bloated and a bit underwhelming. after listening to it more there's definitely a pretty good album hidden in there, like "all day long", "found a good one", and "zanies and fools" are all excellent among others and it's generally a pleasant listen just too long

man, I think I have strong differences in opinion about comedy with anyone who found that tweet funny.

the tweet's as funny as that song is good imo, ie. not.

this album is not very listenable for me

Album is very good. Criticism is bizarre

Clearly a better album than coloring book imo

this album is good ... for me to poop on

pretty funny how quickly ilx falls to the consensus pressure

this a blast what are yall (naysayers) listening to?
