I was hyping Chance up to all my friends leading up to Coloring Book dropping and i finally got them to try his music when he dropped The Big Day and ive been apologizing ever since
I told my boy back in 2016 "Chance is too good of an artist for something not to happen to him" this wasnt nearly what i expected. Acid Rap will still be one of my favorite tapes of all time. I still have countless posters and shirts of the album
I loved acid rap in high school but i feel like the album has aged terribly, i really feel like its rose-tinted shades when people reference that era of chance. How i describe chance is that his corniness became more and more apparent each album, with 10 day being not corny, acid rap being 3/10 corny, coloring book being 7/10 corny, and the big day being a straight up 10 on the corndog scale. When people call chance special i think they just miss a rapper that was popular in a different era who didnt shift their style to match shifting music tastes.
@@lemonscentedgames3641you were in high school. It wasn't made for you, so it's easy to hop on the bandwagon and say it was always corny. There's a difference btw style and flow and then just thinking you're GAWD
@@Jose89197 kissland is still one of my favorite albums of all time. All the new fans really sleep on it and prefer starboy which I’m pretty sure is a war crime 😪
@@Oxcymoron I like both. Was listening back then Sometimes I need the kissland vibe - professional, tears in the rain , odd look come to mind But I really like most of star boy, especially reminder, rocking and sidewalls 2 certified classics IMO
@@goal-goal-goalllllll don’t get me wrong, I like starboy as well but I discovered his music in the beginning when it was a lot darker than what he’s made since starboy and I related to kissland and the trilogy because of how I was living back then. So that shift he made from the starboy era onwards just didn’t hit the same way. We got a glimpse of his old sound with MDM, which I appreciated a lot but we haven’t had much of that since. But besides the personal reasons, I think it’s better is because from start to finish (minus live for) it’s a more cohesive body of work thematically, the songs blend in together perfectly with the transitions and his vocals were just godly.
3 years? Sorry this ain't yb lol Real art takes time and effort. I realize The Big Day isn't the best example for that but 2-3 year wait is pretty standard.
I feel like the same will happen with Frank Ocean. Right now his fans are on the edge of a cliff and we angry. One more bad move from him and he’s finished, but I doubt he cares.
@@Antwannnn nobody is bothered by the years as long as it’s a good project. Kendrick fans weren’t bother once he finally dropped another album and it was good
@@1990POE and even if it's a bad project. That's just 1. If it becomes 2,3, etc. THEN that's where the problem arises. When Yeezus came out people were torn. Same with 808s. Jesus Is King is ye's only album that most agree is his worst. It took him 8+ albums to get to that point. Give chance a chance is my outlook. Especially since he's being dropping really great singles this past year.
Coloring Book was especially wild because he actually pulled off the gospel thing authentically without it coming off corny. His hype songs were really getting played everywhere too
He can make a comeback. He still has the skill when it comes to rapping. Hes just unfocused and developed an ego over the years. Sometimes the ego can be a good thing but for him its hindering him.
Controversial opinion I never thought he deserved the hate he got off of one bad album. I feel like people where waiting on his downfall. Especially when even some of my favorite artist have at least made one bad album in their career. Hope he can bounce back
Definitely agree been heard of purp since before the old SoundCloud days and I can tell you the “fans” just switch up like crazy I mean I’ll be honest purp kinda turned into a clown on his own accord, but the hate was most definitely a long awaited thing for no fucking reason.

Acid rap came out when I was in 10th grade, my friends and I were crazy about it. That whole time was different with chance, the whole odd future crew, childish gambino, Vic Mensa, etc.
album came out when i was in 9th, but didn't hear about it until my friends told me i looked like bro in 10th grade. Gave him a listen and a week later I was rapping whole verses.
Lmfaooo LAMES all ya! It was the era of Gucci mane, chief keef, and young thug even lil b and Soulja were more important to rap today than chance the wacker
That’s facts I hated that pop rap Jack Harlow album and a lot of people criticized it Jack didn’t act out or go ghost or nothing like that He shut tf up and a lil bit of time later , popped out with a much much better album That’s how you do it
He thought his shit didn't stink and that the approval of Kanye was automatically gonna keep him at the top and make him a legend. No better way to fuck yourself over than to do that. Ol dude was never gonna be Kanye
Acid Rap came out in senior year. Had so much fun with my friends back then, doing reckless shit and thinking we were invincible. Looking back I cringe at a lot of things I did but I miss that feeling of "I'll be friends with these guys forever.". At 28 now I'm not as social as I used to be and get anxious in public so it's pretty nice to imagine a time I wasn't. Kendrick's Control verse blew us away, we listened to Yeezus for the first time together. Oxymoron era Schoolboy Q, Work REMIX and Shabba. Discovering Kendrick through MAAD city, all that shit man.
Your comment was a trip down memory lane forsure.. I'm 28 also and can relate. In your opinion, what exactly causes so many young people to become more isolated and less social? I try to figure that shit out all the time. It just.. happens. Sometimes with literally no reason to point to
Thinking back on it, Chance having considered Kanye his biggest influence and bragging that College Dropout was his first album really didn't bode well for his career from the beginning.
If he’s legit interested in a return then once a threat always a threat.. he will definitely need to evolve his lister base. Not a easy ask but he’s talented enough to do it.
Man hope off the “kaney bad because he said xyz” bandwagon”. If u listen to what he’s saying its the truth you just dont like it because the truth is scary.
@@thepearlswirltoday in things that never happened. Random girl claims someone told her in insta hes to big to fail because he met kaney after she read a TH-cam comment. Tune in next to see another delusional person claim some cap for clicks.
Acid Rap brought me through my 1st year of University. To this day, I catch myself reciting Smoke Again. I actually met him in 2013 when he had his concert in Toronto. He was honestly such a cool, genuine dude. I loved when he worked with Childish Gambino and I will forever cherish that era🙏🏽
We like to talk about musicians as if they’re race horses or something. At the end of the day, they’re still just human. I’m probably gonna get ragged on for saying this but if you look back on Logic & Chance’s early discography, they were both incredible, especially for their age. Regardless of where things might be now, I think both have already proven what they can do. It’s kinda like the Nickleback effect..they’ll get bullied because it’s the popular thing to do but chances are, they’ll never lose their cult fan base. BUT I do see why people view them as corny now, they’ve both done several things to make me cringe.
I completely agree with that comparison. That's not the way to look at artists, but you have fan bases and that's where things typically get toxic (even if the core message is fuckin "don't be toxic" lol) I still love his early work and respect him as an artist.
Thank you for going over this guys history. I just saw him at peak popularity when he was in commercials and people wearing his hat in high school. But never ever learned much about him after that. Now I’m curious to see why he was so hyped and dive into his music.
I was going to say he could easily make a comeback but plenty of people did already and I think that says a lot. People want him back to an extent and most of us agree that’s very possible if he just drops some heat
Being a celebrity in the USA seems to mean you get popular, have a ‘downfall’ and have a comeback story, so Chance can absolutely get back. Fans (especially music fans) can be very fickle so if the worse he’s done is he danced with a woman in Jamaica I expect to see a comeback soon
Lol no it doesn't... how did you come up with that? There's lots of successful artists or celebrities with long careers who never had a downfall or period of irrelevancy, most of the time if you become irrelevant or have a "downfall" as you describe it, it's very hard to come back.
The worst part was firing his best friend as manager then putting out a trash album bragging about being in love and lecturing the fans. He proved to be an arrogant hypocrite
Close, I would say, he went to being what he thought popular people wanted him to be. Like the outside influence brought that, what was already inside to the surface.
Dang your comment humbled me. That's facts tbh, most artists just want some ppl to listen to their music and make a living off their craft. It's hard to be any sort of artist in this world, but sadly ppl get caught up on the whole 'fame' aspect of it. Man is making music and has a loyal fan base, he may not be at the top but that's successful IMO. There's over 8 billion people now, it's something to be proud of to stand out even for a little while. And he was put in contact with ppl who will always help him remain successful even if not in music.
No that’s not how it works, if you do some corny shit then you as a famous artist, you are going to get called out and criticize for it. This isn’t a fairly tail. “Appreciate the climb to the top” 😂. That’s what his fans are for
Lol difference is a lot of fall off and are able to make a come back. Yet he hasn't and for his "fans" sure they like his old stuff but won't touch his new stuff with a 10 foot pole
This man gave us nothing but classics with Acid Rap and Coloring Book, I wouldn’t count him out because of a bad debut album. He has insane potential, maybe I’m biased because of how influential his music was to me in highschool but I’ll always root for Chance
We also have to remember that chance the rapper is a huge reason why soundcloud is still here. When the service was going bankrupt he came thru and saved them. Along with many many of peoples hard work. I appreciate him for that.
Wait it’s been 10 years since Acid Rap???? Oh god I feel so old! I remember listening to that like it was yesterday and I played that so much in my car. It came out during my junior year of high school. Wow this makes me think back on all those type of like alternative rappers like chance and odd future, who I was also a huge fan of
Man I miss the early underground Chicago rap. Mick Jenkins, hurt everybody (my favorite group) chance the rapper, Saba, LUCKI ecks, kembe x, Alex Wiley, Noname gypsy, Vic Mensa all while lyrical lemonade was coming up. Glad I was around
Acid rap was my starting point into hip hop and to this day the album carries the nostalgia and memories from that part of my life. Listening to the big day crushed me because of how garbage it is compared to his previous work. I still hope that we will see a proper return to form from chance and get to see a proper album that lives up to his other projects.
Once you get accepted by main stream artists and "arrive in the game" these artists are compromised... sad that their downfall is so obvious. Logic still gets my respect to a degree, seems like he still just doing his thing, and can actually rap
Very good video and cool topic. I was wondering if Chance would ever bounce back from his album flop, and it seems like he still hasn't. I remember the NeedleDrop half apologizing to Chance hoping he could brush himself off and come back with an album that redeemed his reputation and career, but I don't think that's happening. Chance's self esteem got shot to hell and it leaves me wondering if he even could make a good come back album. Chance's old manager, who ended up suing him, said he'd been super busy during the album creation and didn't dedicate enough time to the project. Allegedly he told Chance to not rush the release, but Chance released it unpolished anyway. I wonder if the album would be any better if more time was given. But I'm personally doubtful since some of the song's on the album were just corny and things like "I love my wife" just came off as overly artisan.
Honestly rapping shouldn't be a "career" because true longevity is lightning in a bottle and most rappers these days don't have it. Instead they should get their bread and make smart investments to make generational wealth
I've always thought this. And then they can just casually make music when they feel but not have to worry about the money. Rihanna is honestly so smart for what she has done. Her investments in her beauty brand and clothing brands have her set for life. She can just drop something whenever she wants and her established fan base will still eat it up. Even if it's 10 years from now. She's living the dream.
@@chenanigansRihanna isn’t a good comparison she’s one of those lifetime artists.. her fans still waiting on a new album even though she lasted dropped in 2016. She still has an active fan base “Rihanna navy” those weird ass stans. But no doubt she’s smart for what she did.
His career is not ruined at all. He's 3/4 on projects, has dropped good songs since then, and The heart and the Tongue from 2021 is one of my favorite songs by him idc. He can easily bounce back with another good album
Bro he’s not doing ANY numbers and has a minuscule social media presence compared to before the big day 😂 He’s completely washed. All that shit you mentioned literally doesn’t mean anything
fun fact another artist was smoking with him when he was suspended. It was an artist that is now in the band "twin peaks" they are incredibly talented, and you should definitely check them out. Also, I was dming Hoodie Allen today and he was cool. That is all
Cadien and Jack from twin peaks were part of a sort of smoking group with Chance called DOC (dudes of chief) that he mentions in the song windows. Also, they've been in twin peaks since sunken came out which is their first release to my knowledge
i grew listening chance and kid cudi and to this day i still listen to both even the older albums mostly kid cudi stuff had an huge impact on my life but its sad how they both went out and i hope they make a huge comeback
Kid cudi was amazing still remember when him an kanye were on 106 an park to promote his debut album honestly after he dropped that speedin bullet shit was over with chance though I never really got into him one of my exes loved his music an I just didn’t get the hype around him 🤷♂️
I was expecting this to end off on a light note, but instead it ended without a single thing he has done in the last few years. I don't understand how a guy makes 1 album that was made solely for his wife and now that's all people remember. Here is a list of songs since The Big Day that can give us some hope: Wraith A bar about a bar The Highs and the Lows The Heart and the Tongue
Chance is one of my favorite artist ever. I think he has another run left in him. But I’d be a fool to think that he could reach the heights he could pre 2019
Honestly, I'm not that sad about Chance falling off. His music was fun but it wasn't anything I ever considered among the greatest, and it was super annoying that Kanye was using Chance as an excuse to pretend like he's actually from Chicago when he's from fucking Atlanta, and everybody in Chicago hates Kanye already.
@@KWILKSP Chance said he met Kanye, and that Ye was a big influence of his growing up. Chance used to talk about how the first album he ever owned was College Dropout and he would play it on repeat. They made friends for obvious reasons but Kanye is always on that bullshit because he wanna be Chicago native so badly and everybody in the Chi knows Ye is a faker from Georgia, so he tries to surround himself with music artists from the Windy City to make it look like he's legit.
For me it was how they marketed the big day. It was supposed to be his debut studio album and that he had poured hours of his life into it. It comes out, it flops, and people start retracting that it was just another mixtape.
I maintain that the big day has hitters that most people would still enjoy if they listened to it without bias. We Go High is one of my favorite songs chance ever made.
@@mosthatedty9585 half the songs are good, it’s not that bad. 5 year plan, eternal, and do you remember are really solid, and again, We Go High is a top 5 Chance song.
I never really liked chance like that, but I acknowledge his skill. Regardless I saw it coming from a mile away. People who have the rocket soar in a short amount of time fall hard.
To add: I didn’t think the big day was a bad album. It was mediocre and in all honesty I don’t think it deserved that level of hate. It just wasn’t his best album. Just my opinion.
Similar, yet different was Kool Keith when he went from East to West Coast and got trippy as fuck making music under crazy personas like Doctor Octagon & Black Elvis.
He can still come back. If 2 or 3 albums bomb then it’s game over. However releasing 1 bad album and even being memed for it isn’t the biggest deal. People forget memes easily after a few months, especially a few years
Damn ... my dude said 'I'm going to trust my brother and dad over these industry people" and for the first in God knows how long trusting the industry vampires was actually the correct move.
I remember when in Lollapalooza Chile 2018 this guy was practically thrown out by the public bc we wanted the RHCP and somehow, for some reason, they put this guy before. Not another rock act, this random rapper that nobody in latinamerica knows or cares about. It was brutal. Then I heard in another festival the guy came late and the Peps just started their gig and he tried to perform after them but the entire audience walked out bc nobody knows or cares about him.
I wanted Chance to win so bad, but after he kind of alienated his entire fan base with The Big Day I feel like it is so much harder for him to make a comeback since he would have had to release another album reminiscent of Acid Rap or Coloring Book immediately after he dropped TBD to redeem himself from the heat. But now too much time has passed and he has lost a lot of interest in his music, while his OG fans are either not interested in his music anymore or are scarred/tired of getting clowned on by their friends for still supporting him lol.
I was hyping Chance up to all my friends leading up to Coloring Book dropping and i finally got them to try his music when he dropped The Big Day and ive been apologizing ever since
Lmao

There's over 8 billion people now, it's something to be proud of to stand out even for a little while. And he was put in contact with ppl who will always help him remain successful even if not in music.
No that’s not how it works, if you do some corny shit then you as a famous artist, you are going to get called out and criticize for it. This isn’t a fairly tail. “Appreciate the climb to the top” 😂. That’s what his fans are for
Lol difference is a lot of fall off and are able to make a come back. Yet he hasn't and for his "fans" sure they like his old stuff but won't touch his new stuff with a 10 foot pole
@@jjbeatz5025 Hater vibes fr fr
@@itsmoonlitbro I’m just living in the real world, not being delusional
This man gave us nothing but classics with Acid Rap and Coloring Book, I wouldn’t count him out because of a bad debut album. He has insane potential, maybe I’m biased because of how influential his music was to me in highschool but I’ll always root for Chance
We also have to remember that chance the rapper is a huge reason why soundcloud is still here. When the service was going bankrupt he came thru and saved them. Along with many many of peoples hard work. I appreciate him for that.
Thats more of a stain on his reputation than anything.
Yeah he helped them by getting paid a huge some of money to also drop music on other platforms. Id say if anything he had a negative impact.
@@Haze8277 your so wrong dude chance had a positive impact y’all are so dumb
Sure didn't help Qwiby or whatever that was called
I don't like rap anymore, but Acid Rap was one of my favorite albums back then.
Yeah facts rap trash now been trash for over 6 years
Jamari always knows how to make my day
Wait it’s been 10 years since Acid Rap???? Oh god I feel so old! I remember listening to that like it was yesterday and I played that so much in my car. It came out during my junior year of high school. Wow this makes me think back on all those type of like alternative rappers like chance and odd future, who I was also a huge fan of
Man I miss the early underground Chicago rap. Mick Jenkins, hurt everybody (my favorite group) chance the rapper, Saba, LUCKI ecks, kembe x, Alex Wiley, Noname gypsy, Vic Mensa all while lyrical lemonade was coming up. Glad I was around
Excellent taste 💥
The problem is it wasnt just any album, it was his first *actual album* after years of hype
Acid rap was my starting point into hip hop and to this day the album carries the nostalgia and memories from that part of my life. Listening to the big day crushed me because of how garbage it is compared to his previous work. I still hope that we will see a proper return to form from chance and get to see a proper album that lives up to his other projects.
I'm sorry that was your starting point
So young kid. Listen to the late Prodigy and Sean Price for timeless catalogue
Starting point? Must be young.
This was a very well put together video Jamari!!!! Good work
Agreed
Once you get accepted by main stream artists and "arrive in the game" these artists are compromised... sad that their downfall is so obvious. Logic still gets my respect to a degree, seems like he still just doing his thing, and can actually rap
2:13 Great vid. Quick note, Soundcloud wasn't the "move" yet until like 2015-2019. 2013 was mostly WSHH, AudioMack, Datpiff, and LiveMixtapes.
One of the lines he was freestylin with sounded a lot like Joey Badass Waves
Acid rap was incredible and I still listen to it to this day. I’d see chance for a concert of him just singing that album
Very good video and cool topic. I was wondering if Chance would ever bounce back from his album flop, and it seems like he still hasn't. I remember the NeedleDrop half apologizing to Chance hoping he could brush himself off and come back with an album that redeemed his reputation and career, but I don't think that's happening. Chance's self esteem got shot to hell and it leaves me wondering if he even could make a good come back album. Chance's old manager, who ended up suing him, said he'd been super busy during the album creation and didn't dedicate enough time to the project. Allegedly he told Chance to not rush the release, but Chance released it unpolished anyway. I wonder if the album would be any better if more time was given. But I'm personally doubtful since some of the song's on the album were just corny and things like "I love my wife" just came off as overly artisan.
Recently I went back and listened to Acid Rap and said to myself why tf was I banging this shit in 2013 🗑️
Honestly rapping shouldn't be a "career" because true longevity is lightning in a bottle and most rappers these days don't have it. Instead they should get their bread and make smart investments to make generational wealth
I've always thought this. And then they can just casually make music when they feel but not have to worry about the money. Rihanna is honestly so smart for what she has done. Her investments in her beauty brand and clothing brands have her set for life. She can just drop something whenever she wants and her established fan base will still eat it up. Even if it's 10 years from now. She's living the dream.
@@chenanigansRihanna isn’t a good comparison she’s one of those lifetime artists.. her fans still waiting on a new album even though she lasted dropped in 2016. She still has an active fan base “Rihanna navy” those weird ass stans. But no doubt she’s smart for what she did.
@@pj8847 a good example woudlve been UglyGod.
His career is not ruined at all. He's 3/4 on projects, has dropped good songs since then, and The heart and the Tongue from 2021 is one of my favorite songs by him idc. He can easily bounce back with another good album
Bro he’s not doing ANY numbers and has a minuscule social media presence compared to before the big day 😂
He’s completely washed. All that shit you mentioned literally doesn’t mean anything
Chance literally just rapped like black Eminem
Crazy how you hit a million good job brother keep up the work love watching your videos always interesting
fun fact another artist was smoking with him when he was suspended. It was an artist that is now in the band "twin peaks" they are incredibly talented, and you should definitely check them out. Also, I was dming Hoodie Allen today and he was cool. That is all
Hoodie Allen is a creep lol
Lmao hoodie Allen
You lost me at Hoodie Allen 🤮
Cadien and Jack from twin peaks were part of a sort of smoking group with Chance called DOC (dudes of chief) that he mentions in the song windows. Also, they've been in twin peaks since sunken came out which is their first release to my knowledge
Ooh I love my wife
Man that coloring day concert in Chicago was such a good time. Great memories from a bunch of solid performances
Just realised you'd hit a million subscribers. You put in the work and you're getting the recognition for it. Well done ❤
i grew listening chance and kid cudi and to this day i still listen to both even the older albums mostly kid cudi stuff had an huge impact on my life but its sad how they both went out and i hope they make a huge comeback
Kid cudi was amazing still remember when him an kanye were on 106 an park to promote his debut album honestly after he dropped that speedin bullet shit was over with chance though I never really got into him one of my exes loved his music an I just didn’t get the hype around him 🤷♂️
I was expecting this to end off on a light note, but instead it ended without a single thing he has done in the last few years. I don't understand how a guy makes 1 album that was made solely for his wife and now that's all people remember.
Here is a list of songs since The Big Day that can give us some hope:
Wraith
A bar about a bar
The Highs and the Lows
The Heart and the Tongue
Chance is one of my favorite artist ever. I think he has another run left in him. But I’d be a fool to think that he could reach the heights he could pre 2019
Honestly, I'm not that sad about Chance falling off. His music was fun but it wasn't anything I ever considered among the greatest, and it was super annoying that Kanye was using Chance as an excuse to pretend like he's actually from Chicago when he's from fucking Atlanta, and everybody in Chicago hates Kanye already.
@@Green_Eyed_Monster dawg what the hell are you talking about 💀
@@KWILKSP Chance said he met Kanye, and that Ye was a big influence of his growing up. Chance used to talk about how the first album he ever owned was College Dropout and he would play it on repeat. They made friends for obvious reasons but Kanye is always on that bullshit because he wanna be Chicago native so badly and everybody in the Chi knows Ye is a faker from Georgia, so he tries to surround himself with music artists from the Windy City to make it look like he's legit.
For me it was how they marketed the big day. It was supposed to be his debut studio album and that he had poured hours of his life into it.
It comes out, it flops, and people start retracting that it was just another mixtape.
I maintain that the big day has hitters that most people would still enjoy if they listened to it without bias. We Go High is one of my favorite songs chance ever made.
Thank you!! The big day is not a bad album it’s just not acid rap which is ok
@@mosthatedty9585 half the songs are good, it’s not that bad. 5 year plan, eternal, and do you remember are really solid, and again, We Go High is a top 5 Chance song.
to be honest, i never took chance seriously in the first place. ten years later i still dont know ANY of his songs lol
You’re not missing anything…
Same. I’ve heard of him but none of his songs.
I was in Afghanistan when acid rap came out and omg that mixtape has a lot of memories attached to it.
Sometimes i forget the chokehold he had on rap at the time. Im still on chance's side bro
When he went down on his down fall... man I was so sad.... I loved his music but man, so sad
i love my wife
People didnt like sober, stable, loving guys.
Lol facts
Not creative
I never really liked chance like that, but I acknowledge his skill. Regardless I saw it coming from a mile away. People who have the rocket soar in a short amount of time fall hard.
To add:
I didn’t think the big day was a bad album. It was mediocre and in all honesty I don’t think it deserved that level of hate. It just wasn’t his best album.
Just my opinion.
its so insane how he went from making godly albums like acid rap and colouring book to ass albums like big day i hope he can come back
Chance had that slim shady flow.
That was the first thing I thought took his whole flow
That little clip of young Mac 😢 idk if I’ll ever stop feeling sad when I see him.. my heart still hurts man
He can definitely make a come back
Acid rap is one of my favorite albums of all time to this very day. Shit still holds up. A true classic of modern hip hop.
You should create a series on artists who linked up to Kanye and sank
Logics last 2 projects were 🔥 🔥
Edit: also I love the quote “luck, blessings, hard work and shit.” When asked about how he got to where he was. 💯
I went to see chance years ago and it was so much fun. He even sang the Arthur theme and Family Matters theme songs lol it was lit
Similar, yet different was Kool Keith when he went from East to West Coast and got trippy as fuck making music under crazy personas like Doctor Octagon & Black Elvis.
He can still come back. If 2 or 3 albums bomb then it’s game over. However releasing 1 bad album and even being memed for it isn’t the biggest deal. People forget memes easily after a few months, especially a few years
1:45 Young Chance rapped like a positive young Eminem
Now they're getting a divorce lol
Chance the rapper and Dave East last 2 mainstream artists that can actually rap, nobody good came out after them in over 10 years
The big day just keeps aging like milk. Now their getting a divorce.
Get Rich or Die Tryin was my 1st album that i owned in the 9th grade 2003
Oh c’mon, give ‘em another chance.
Damn ... my dude said 'I'm going to trust my brother and dad over these industry people" and for the first in God knows how long trusting the industry vampires was actually the correct move.
I’m gonna say yes, he can make a comeback because he is very talented. This seems like another the hype got to him kind of story.
Still appreciate this guy, really different from the crowd of rappers these days. I think he can still pull it off if he really try.
I’m gonna have to go and listen to this now.
I remember when in Lollapalooza Chile 2018 this guy was practically thrown out by the public bc we wanted the RHCP and somehow, for some reason, they put this guy before. Not another rock act, this random rapper that nobody in latinamerica knows or cares about. It was brutal. Then I heard in another festival the guy came late and the Peps just started their gig and he tried to perform after them but the entire audience walked out bc nobody knows or cares about him.
He’s not a random rapper you all are just metalheads
GREAT video dawg. I'm glad you came up with this video 👏👏
Show me an artist who hasn't had a bad album
Cole
@@prithvisingh7347 got em. Chance is just garbage
Yeat
@@Hades.666 Cole is just the exception. Literally every other artist has a bad album.
JID
Very upsetting I found chance right after his peak so I really am hoping he can bounce back stronger then ever
Knew he was wack from the beginning🤷♂️🤷♂️🙃🙃
Fr only goofy mfs that live in the suburbs like this trash
This was an amazing analytical video Jamari
Never heard his music but he was an amazing host of snl. If his career ever completely tanks he should consider acting or comedy
Im noticing for the first time that Chance aounds alot like early Eminem with his cadence and pitch.
Yes
Frank Ocean will always be relevant & legendary ✌️
Think he lost his purpose around the Coloring Book and he had it all. Nothing pushing him to improve.
Heart and Tongue is legitimately such a good song, definitely one of my favorites by him.
Chance will make it back✌🏾 I’m hopeful
I wanted Chance to win so bad, but after he kind of alienated his entire fan base with The Big Day I feel like it is so much harder for him to make a comeback since he would have had to release another album reminiscent of Acid Rap or Coloring Book immediately after he dropped TBD to redeem himself from the heat. But now too much time has passed and he has lost a lot of interest in his music, while his OG fans are either not interested in his music anymore or are scarred/tired of getting clowned on by their friends for still supporting him lol.
RIP Datpiff. The end of an era.
Honestly I still support chance to this day, his music is really good
1:50 Damn you can really hear Eminem’s influence solely Chance’s flow and tone!
I listen acid rap to this day!literally.
These ppl are delusional about his other projects. Acid rap is and will always be that!!!!0
