2) Because His New Mixtape Coloring Book Is Getting Amazing Reviews
The mixtape received a score of 92 on Metacritic. Pitchfork commented “Chance the Rapper’s Coloring Book is one of the strongest rap albums released this year, an uplifting mix of spiritual and grounded that even an atheist can catch the Spirit to.” The Verge commented “Chance the Rapper wades joyfully into new territory. The Chicago rapper sounds different, but very comfortable where he is.”
3) Because He Fights For The People
Chance The Rapper helped stop gun violence in Chicago for 42 hours. His powerful platform and postings on social media assisted the city of Chi-Town and its quest to limit gun violence. The end result was a day and a half of Chicago going without a gun homicide. Pretty amazing.
4) Because His Lyricism Is On Another Level
G Herbo – Fight or Flight – featuring Common and Chance The Rapper
“My poppa love me, ops left me
Stains fed me, and they dressed me
Come home freshly dressed and he addressed me
And he pressed me
Called me a thief, called me a boy, called me a coward”
Busta Rhymes – Hello – featuring Chance The Rapper
“Now I’m thinking about offices and mansions with amenities And runneth over pools and infinities
Award shows and house wives and games shows and Hennessy
It’s different from the energy I see being in your vicinity
Mistaken identity, you behaving differently”
Kanye West – Ultralight Beam – featuring Chance The Rapper, The Dream, Kelly Price, and Kirk Franklin
“Foot on the Devil’s neck ’til it drifted Pangaea
I’m moving all my family from Chatham to Zambia Treat the demons just like Pam
I mean I fuck with your friends, but damn, Gina
I been this way since Arthur was anteater
Now they wanna hit me with the woo wap, the bam
Tryna snap photos of familia
My daughter look just like Sia, you can’t see her.”
