Also is Chance supposed to be a MC or a rapper like Drake, Kanye etc? From CB mixtape he sounds like a diet Kanye.

Giving Kanye credit for the production? pls.

Chance is incredibly talented and has produced more for Kanye than the other way around from what I've read.

I think he's very much his own thing. He's for the new gen what Kanye was for last gen.

His whole mixtape screamed of Kanye influence. That was probably what I should have wrote but I was in a hurry.

Not into Chance that much but prehaps it'll change later on.

I can agree with that statement though. He's obviously influenced, but I think he does a lot of new things. He's worked for Kanye on a lot of tracks, and I think he was the guy behind more than a couple tracks on TLOP.

They're also both from Chicago, so it's hard to avoid that influence. That's like rappers from New York not being influenced by Nas or Biggie or L.A. Rappers not being influenced by Pac or NWA.

I love his live performances also.

Been a fan of Chance since Childish Gambino featured him on Royalty and brought him on tour at age 18 Proud

Hotline Bling won rap song award

Beyonce didn't deserve shit. She's way overrated. That performance was cringe and pretentious.

Yeah she's overrated af but it's clear Lemonade should have won AOTY. Even Adele agreed with that.

I'm no Beyonce fan and Lemonade is the only album i've listened from her due to insane reviews and hype surrounding it.

Not that i'm surprised she lost it after Kendrick losing last year and how both The Heist & RAM winning over GKMC.

I watched him live on 2014. He was great.

Speaking of which, I'm seeing Drake at the O2 tomorrow.

Lucky mofo

Tickets must be over £100?

by M99 Tue Feb 14, 2017 6:17 pm

cost me 85 in total when including VAT. I got seated, standing area is over 100 and gold circle is almost 200.

Prices and demand is not that crazy because he is performing like 8 times in a month.

by El Gunner Wed Feb 15, 2017 4:43 pm

Can't wait till he comes to SA for a show.
J. Cole was here last year, so his time is soon I feel.

Had crazy fun at the Drake concert. Man for all the hate he gets, he really cares about his fans. It was his 8th night at the O2, and he still gave it his all. He interacted with fans, rapped like a *bleep*, and told some really positive stuff (hint: the type that myesyats and DTW would disapprove of).

Young Thug opened and Drake also bought in Giggs as a surprise. Place was nut for Giggs. Canada's GOAT and England's GOAT on the stage together :bow:

Some new albums dropped. Future released a new one (instant trash) and Jidenna aswell.

Can't wait to listen to Jidenna's album tomorrow.

by M99 Sat Feb 18, 2017 10:11 pm

More Life might release next week.

It's gonna be shit judging from the tracks and snippets he has dropped so far.

by LeVersacci Sun Feb 19, 2017 1:32 pm

Is it an album or mixtape?

I *bleep* love this song. It won't be trash, if it has tracks like this.

That Ross Capicchioni song/video is really unsettling. Joyner Lucas is great and I hope he blows up but I feel like I have to be in the proper mood to listen to his more depressing stuff.

by LeVersacci Wed Feb 22, 2017 6:06 pm

Gave a full listen to 4 your snooze only for the first time since it's release. Why did J.Cole make such a mediocre album smh.

by RealGunner Wed Feb 22, 2017 6:09 pm

4 your snooze rofl

by RealGunner Thu Feb 23, 2017 8:06 pm

somehow heard this for the first time lol but this is pretty good

by M99 Thu Feb 23, 2017 8:11 pm

Stormzy's album releasing tomorrow. This guy is huge in the UK now, he is what Giggs was 5 years ago.

by Firenze Thu Feb 23, 2017 8:12 pm

was a Young Jeezy fanboy back when he first became mainstream in like 05/06 or w/e

not heard a single song from him since the one you posted which was like 2008/9 I think
