Chance The Rapper - ACID RAIN REACTION/REVIEW
I think he maybe the best ❤ I said from the jump “Empty” , “I love you boy”, “Enough” and Adventure was the best smoothest lineup and ending the album with “The Wind”! Adventure is prob one of my fav immediately. “I love you boy bring me to tears. And “Adventure”Gives me my power back! It’s exactly how I feel about life the past 5yrs. In “Enough” Russ brings such a powerful constant dynamic! 6:16 6:16 Hess always been king! This man was always one of the Greatest! ❤
I hope you guys blow up on TH-cam. Great reaction and comments
Much love bro, appreciate your feedback and you tuning in!
What’s good boys, produced this album with my collective ODDstatus, appreciate y’all diving into this 🙏🏼
Damn bro appreciate you commenting and taking time out your day to watch this episode! Incredible production between you and your collective @chxsebank! I used to freestyle on your beats and a few other producers on TH-cam for hours everyday when I was trying to come up crazy how everything comes full circle lol♾️🎶
Time is 100% relative 10 yrs to a ten yr old is their entire life, but to a 40yr old person it's only a quarter
You’re spitting bars and facts bro!
This is one of my favorite albums of all time. I really like the way you guys break it down very thoroughly through all the songs. Beautiful interpretation and beautiful music💚
Much love for the feedback and compliment!🙏🏼 we appreciate you tuning into this episode! What are some of your other favorite albums? This is one of ours as well mac delivered with a masterpiece🎶
Wish I had friends like y’all😂🔥
Welcome to the squad♾️🎶
Oh thank god y’all get it 😂😂 shits exhausting people not getting it but you even saying something like none of the songs are sad yet I was like exactly! Their messages but their not necessary’s sad sad great observation
Appreciate you tuning in to the breakdowns bro! Much love on your feedback too, we try to get as deep as we can on the first listen🎶
Ty Dolla did Cinderella for a Mac tribute at the Tiny Desk that is definitely worth checking out when you got free time.
Damn bro we didn’t know that we will def check it out thanks for pointing us in that direction!
These new russ fans thinking this his best work they obviously never listened to THERES REALLY A WOLF or ZOO. Even Russ old music is highly slept on. These goofy new age fans have no idea what Russ has released.
You should go even further back to velvet if you’re trying to flex the knowledge of Russ discography. The beauty of music is it’s judged differently by all and this can very well be someone’s favorite Russ project 🎶
@@ScratchingTheSurface. all his projects are good. Color blind. Velvet. Pink Elephant. I mean....before he even dropped losing control. I think there's really a wolf is when he snapped. Zoo was more emotional.
She’s the snow globe was my favorite from him to date. There’s really a wolf was fire too so many slept on records
Shake*😂
This is such a deep album because I think Russ voices a lot of the struggles we go through mentally. I’ve learned to just enjoy the ride. Maybe we’re not where we want to be but we’re exactly where we’re supposed to be in that moment ☺️ great video!
Thanks for tuning in for PT.3! That’s wise words we always are exactly where we should be🎶
Adventure after more listens has become my fav song off the album, i moved out of state the day the album dropped and it single handedly kept me moving forward through the anxiety of it all. Russ always pushes his fans forward even in those days where he was struggling himself, a blessing to me for many years now.
That’s dopeee, it’s actually ours too which is crazy because at first fraud was! What’s your favorite project from Russ? Moving states and experiencing something new could be one of the reasonswhy Adventure is your favorite song🎶
@@ScratchingTheSurface. it’s real hard to say what project is my favorite, might be recency bias but Santiago might be it! Santiago just feels like the real russ finally opening up and finding himself, it feels like a turning point for him. This is the album he and many fans will look back on as his first true fleshed out, meaningful album. A turning point.
It def is a turning point you can hear and see so much growth not only in artistry and rap ability but who he views himself as. Really excited for future releases. Thanks for the feedback and tuning in to part 3!
I got a broken version of success
That’s the version you were sposed to get no?
Always looking fwd to these reviews. Not only do we get fire reviews, we get amazing conversations. I can’t wait till y’all blow up.
That’s so dope to hear, we def try to go deeper with the music to pull out comparisons or ways to apply it to our life🙏🏼 much love♾️
fatima was my fav song on here
What is your favorite Russ Project of all time❓
Shake the snow globe!
Russ- Just in case ep. Highly recommend a listen! In a dark room! lol. I agree I think oasis is within the timeframe of him rising to new heights of fame in 2017. I think the chorus represents him thinking that he made it so everything would be so ‘SMOOTH’(!!), and in the verses he’s mentioning all the cases in which his life was NOT going smoothly. He hadn’t realized beforehand that fame and ‘making it’ wouldn’t fix the issues and traumas within himself and amongst his family/friends.
When I was at my lowest had to hold my head the highest, reconnect with silence otherwise it’s hard to hear the guidance🎶
You’re on an adventure 🎶
Tor baap k bol fraud XD
🎶
Russ’s conversations in therapy definitely reminded me of my own conversations with my therapist. Seeking others approval is a big thing and in therapy you learn that everyone has a different expectation so you’re never going to reach peak perfection if you want everyone to like you. Once you realize that, you no longer carry that burden. Maybe he realized that along the way too!
Damn that’s deep you just taught us something, that’s true it’s impossible to have everyone like you especially because some people don’t even like themselves. It really sounds like he found himself throughout this project! What was you’re favorite song on the album 💿?
I love the message Russ is pushing for men’s mental health. In a world where men can only be tough. Giving men an affirmation that we all go through it. We’re all facing a demon. I’m so glad y’all reviewed this album pushing the message even further. Y’all make the world a better place by sharing your insight on a great deep ass album!!
Wow thanks for the beautiful feedback. You’re very open minded and we really appreciate you tuning into the episode 🙏🏼🎶 much love!!
Shoutout to Russ fr on being vocal on a taboo topic
I feel like this album has so many different emotions tied to it almost like you do when you’re in love; happy, sad, excited!
That’s a great point, Mac really tied in all of loves emotions throughout the project that’s dope I’m not sure if we caught that
Album is great. love the breakdowns! Its sad to know many people will pass and not hear the message simply because Russ made it. each song has its own message yet it all works together to tell a story of his life. Enough imo is easily his best writing ive heard from him, just simply didint stop at all.
Thanks for tuning in for our breakdowns! We agree, he is an extremely overlooked artist I think some of it has to do with him being independent as well and not being pushed by huge labels. Good music will always resonate though and we hope this project gets pushed to the masses 🎶 much love for the feedback! Enough is a crazy record I’m caught between enough, perfectionist, & his aquemini freestyle as the greatest writing he put out!
@@ScratchingTheSurface. I agree whole heartily. Russ has been under minded for far too long. I’ll definitely be tuning into the next few parts, you guys are clearly introspective and open minded and that’s what we need in the world. Salute too you guys, keep at it and I’m sure recognition and growth on this channel with come!
We really appreciate that, much love fr! We try our best to dig into these art pieces and pull out everything we can and it’s really dope when we get feedback like this and viewers who get something out of it as well🎶🙏🏼
I haven’t heard Mac’s album entirely and after listening to it with you guys I’m definitely going to click on the link!
That’s dope! Let us know what was you’re favorite song from the project whenever you give it a listen 🙏🏼🎶
I think it’s amazing that Russ talks about going to therapy because I think it’s something that’s not normally discussed amongst men.
That’s very true! on his track “enough” he really dives into the state of men in the current culture we live in I think he shines light on a ton of taboo topics
Santiago is encompassing his journey from start to finish. When he started to blow up in smooth, for example, everything was going very well. The rest of it is what the public didn’t see. Y’all are actually such green flags for discussing the lyrics and understanding them. 😅
The journey continues ♾️ but we agree we def dive deeper into what the public sees vs everything he faced throughout the project he never talked about publicly. Appreciate you tuning in for PT 2 bro!🎶
Thank you for the compliment as well it means a lot🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great reaction!!!😊
Much love! Thanks for checking out PT 1🙏🏼🎶
I love you boy is my fav!
Verse 3 was so 🔥
Drinking to forget that being you is not enough
Do you think it works?
@@ScratchingTheSurface. I’ll find the answer at the end of the bottle cha
Some people drink to numb the pain I used to drink to open up
Russ Rapped his ass off on enough 🔥🎶
Better than his perfectionist verse?
Is SANTIAGO Russ’s best album to date? If not what is your favorite album from Russ?
Adventure♾️
🔥
Shake the Snow Globe issoooooo good
Glad you guys took your time before you started reacting and gave some background on what you read and saw before it released.. The rollout is important to the idea of an emotional rebirth
Appreciate you tuning in for this episode! We like to give as much context as possible before going into any project 🙏🏼what was your favorite song on the album?🎶
@@ScratchingTheSurface. Man, Fraud to Oasis is very strong run of tracks both concept wise and songwriting/production.. I actually thought “Adventure” was really well done. Felt like a theme song in a Pixar movie.
Fraud really hit us hard, one of my favorite tracks on there. Adventure is probably my favorite song after bumping it back a few times haha, but that's good analysis, we agree fraud to Oasis was a consistent ride of great song creation, writing, and placement. Fatimas hook is so catchy too lmao@@KingYanoFPS
Where’s the rest
This is part 1 part 2 drops tomorrow and three on Saturday. Our breakdowns are pretty lengthy and figure it’s easier for everyone to watch in 20-25 minute segments vs over an hour every time
@@ScratchingTheSurface. you guy need patreon so we can get full length reactions
Apologies I just seen this the notification didn't't pop up lol. Thats a good idea and we actually have one it just hasn't dropped for the public yet. We are trying to build up the content so you all have a bunch of videos to go through@@arkellhenry

PT 2 drops today brotha
I wish I could listen to this album again for the very first time.
Nothing ever hits like the first time haha we agree!
My favorite song on this album is the next song lmao This album was perfect in my eyes. The theme, the cohesion, the production, the FEATURES!!
We agree the features were incredible, the wind carrying each song through the project was unique, the transition from one track to the other really tied the project together too✅ and of course the bars hit
great review. I call that they're going over 100k subscribers real soon
That would be so dope haha, can’t wait! Thanks for watching and the feedback🙏🏼🙏🏼
I thought I thought I’d never lose 🎶🎶🎶

Apologies don’t even work no more I’m past forgiveness
Remorse or vengeance cha?
@@ScratchingTheSurface. I’ll take the vengeance then deal with remorse after
Look I ain’t asking for devotion just a bit affection♾️
Remorse or vengeance?
