I mean .... his father backed him better than any label ever could financially ... AND with networking :dead:
I'm seeing so many posts about ppl posting their art for free now expecting the same payout ... I advise against it.
Plus a lot of ppl just hear, oh he did it indie giving music away for free :dead:
Even still, what he did was a big feat
But new artists still need to know that isn't going to happen for them being completely indie.
I think the most important thing it did, was take away the excuses for established artists who have the means but ALWAYS try to convince their fans it ain't happening because of no label support or backing :dead:
So it is going to shift the industry just a bit I think.
I love Chance's positive energy, I'm definitely a fan of his craft now
His music is just so late
He is a bit Wack to me but congrats on the success
I'm really happy for him. I like him.
Yea I don't see it for Chance, two grammys for what🙄
I like him but his music is terr
I can't get into his spoken word mess
All this Chance hate. :dead: :dead: :dead:
People are acting like he had overnight success when he's been out since 2012 putting out mixtapes.
He released 3 mixtapes and 2 were critical acclaim.
Hard work pays off and he's winning!
:feelinmyself:
Never really took the time to get in
Lemme see what King gives
He's a very likeable guy. I think that adds to his appeal.
I haven't bothered to listen to any of his music. But I do adore his personality.
He seems like a good guy.
still ain't ever listened to a full solo song from him
he's wack. and now he's overrated.

yeah.
And he's not rapping about shooting niggas up or the trap house/bando so the Grammy wins were inevitable
His father has money?

I know he either financed or helped to finanace a lot
QuoteKen Williams-Bennett worked for the Mayor of Chicago
His dad also worked for Obama too, they're extremely well connected :dead:
I didn't even notice until somebody was hating on Chance getting to visit the White-House.
Until then I thought he was just a kid off the street that lucked up :dead:
Nepotism got so many untalented gorls livin good
not even chance shade cause I'm sure he's talented at something
but girls like Kate Hudson wouldn't be shit without daddy & mama

wow I saw that as well(the White House pics) and that settled in my mind ..,
Like they are pretty set .. cuz I think I saw thT his mother was friends with michelle or something
Wait... I didnt know that. No wonder Jay and Beyonce basically treat him like a son. (which also helps his exposure) :dead:
He's still a nice dude tho'

QuoteIt shouldn?t reflect negatively on Chance, but anyone with the backing of a company worth $700 billion ? several times more than all the major labels combined ? can?t be considered independent, especially when that company is an indispensable part of the music economy through Apple Music, iTunes, Beats 1 and the rest.

what the....

sssssssssssssssssss
I mean, if he didn't seem so nice and cool I'd say he deserved a lashing.
And the Grammys played along into the whole thing.
I hate how whites step in to create new history for us when it's suits their agenda.
Who was all up against him for his grams?
They need to retroactively give Kendrick his.
Wow
Yeah that's not really the same struggle as most
He's already in the mix; in the circle
A lot of these artists are tho. Like I think Justine Skye has fam in entertainment some how.
But Chance's music must really be good because he rose above and amongst the greats
wow, so he false advertises to get more popularity
that's like Drake when he was all "yall had a deal, i did it without one" yeah, fagg, but you made sure to suck every popular rapper's dick and put them on every song on the 'tape tho. These faggs are so FAKE nowadays
