K so I finally listened to chance the rapper's acid wrap

[Destroyer]

this is easily the best thing to come out all year. & It's a fucking mix tape. If you are a hip-hop artist releasing records I would feel really fucking ashamed right now.

[uh-oh]

its definately solid.

i don't like the dude tho, his mannerisms and extra shit/voice. but he's making good music if you can get past that.

[Ghost1]

I listened to it also actually yesterday.....

Hes good....but a bit too laid back for me....

Idk....its feel good music tho

Will prolly give a few more spins

[Destroyer]

I'm just saying if this is dude's mixtape
I can't wait for the album

[Certain]

He turns up the voice stuff on some tracks, like "Good Ass Intro." That put off a few people, I know, but once you get past that, it's great.

[Ghost1]

Mixtapes r better then albums anymore tho.....but yea i hear u

[Fart]

Took a minute to grow on me, voice-wise. After that the tape's mostly on my Smoke Music playlist along with a lot of MNIMN

[Wise Wiggles]

Someone post some dope lines..
I haven't heard this guy.
Post dope or die.

[Ghost1]

U cant really just quote a few bars from this guy.....u kinda have to just absorb his music as a whole

[Certain]

Kicked off my shoes, tripped acid in the rain
Wore my jacket as a cape, and my umbrella as a cane
The richest man rocks the snatch-less necklace
Spineless bitches in backless dresses
Wore my feelings on my sleeveless
My weed seedless, my trees leafless
I miss my diagonal grilled cheeses
And back when Mike Jackson was still Jesus
Before I believed in not believing in
Yeah, I inhaled, who believed in me not breathing in
Cigarette stained smile all covered in sin

puff the candy yum, thats the fuckin' bombest
lean all on a square, that's a fuckin' rhombus

fav line from it. havent really listened hard to his lyrics tho. thats not really what he does.. imo

[Wise Wiggles]

Nice. Thanks.

[Certain]

I would think he's right up your alley, Wise Ways.

[Wise Wiggles]

Wise that..?

[Witty]

Wise likes things right up his alley.

[Certain]

Well, I think you'd like him if he were a textcee. I don't actually know your taste in music.

[Split]

I really like the new Lost Tracks issue.. not really his own mixtape but just what he was featured on collected together

Dudes pretty good

[dead man]

download his 10 day tape as well @destro

it might be just as dope

[PancakeBrah]

This.

But

"I seen it happen, I seen it happen, I see it always
He still be screamin, I see his demons in empty hallways"

People who say he's not good lyrically are fucked. He's far and away the best lyricist out currently. Better than underground rapper #596 with the crazy schemes and shit. He just writes about his life and is relatable, with dope af flow and rhyming. With the occasional one-off song.

If you don't like Chance you're a moran.

[Split]

brah repped bro

[Certain]

He's good enough that the hyperbole isn't necessary.

He's not a lyricist in the traditional sense a lot of guys who rank Jadakiss among the best look for, but he's a real song writer. There aren't enough of those in rap, not these days and not ever, really.

[Split]

he's heavily inspird by. michael jackson which i think u can kinda see in his performance mindset

[PancakeBrah]

Let's not get into semantics then. It's not hyperbole. I prefer his lyrics to every rapper making music right now. Not even close. It's a subjective determination anyway, so implying what I said is hyperbole is pretty insulting. He has complex schemes paired with meaning in what he says. It's not like saying 2 Chainz is the best lyricist alive.

[PancakeBrah]

10 Days > Acid Rap tho

[Wise Wiggles]

This.

Yeah that see his demons line was coo.

I'm watching Mary Poppins right now fellas lol.

OK, you make a fair point, and it is subjective.

I agree with the general premise. I think he's the best song writer in rap right now, with Kendrick Lamar a close second. I'd take Pusha T over both for a one-verse guest spot.
