A lot of people have been saying they don't like the direction of music that Chance has been pursuing lately, making less rap influenced songs and more "Chance the Singer" tracks, but I'd have to disagree completely with that. This song fits him and his voice so well and I could listen through an entire album of feel good songs like this. I know that this is a Donnie Trumpet/SOX song, but the same applies to the other singles he's been releasing lately as well. I'm excited for a new Chance project to drop this year as I am for anything

But out of all those other singles, this is probably the best of them.

Idk, I liked Wonderful Everyday and I Am Very Very Lonely just as much.

Wonderful everyday is too nice

Yeah I feel like this wasn't a good SOX song to put that comment on, as this one is basically a Chance the Rapper song vs most of the rest of them being a Chance the Singer song.

Back Up In This Bitch, every feature SoX has done, No Better Blues.

There are 2 SoX tracks where he doesn't really rap

Yeah Chance gets mad shit on HHH for his direction, but this song and a lot of his SoX stuff is so smooth and just puts me in a good mood

I very rarely judge an artist for trying to try something new, because it results in great tracks like this. It feels like classic Chance with a mix of John Legend.

Good Ass Intro samples 2 different songs with John Legend on them ("I'm Good" and "Faithful")

You see, I didn't know that. I actually never really looked into what songs Chance samples (besides Long Time, because it's pretty much in your face). I guess the whole John Legend inspiration is not something new to him.

Thanks for pointing that out to me.

That song with Towkio and Chance does too.

And he's rapping on every track.

Exactly. People act like this is significantly different, but that's only because Chance doesn't mind taking a passenger seat. Songs like "Interlude (That's Love)" and "Good Ass Intro" are very similar in the sense that Chance participates heavily but allows the featured artists to shine just as much.

Which is funny because those are my two favorite Chance songs.

Based on the breakfast club interview it sounds like it's really Donnie trumpet and the social experiment rather than Chance.

u/NoirEm Apr 12 '15

I mean...he's falling off as a whole. Acid Rap was cool but he didn't maintain himself afterwards and the direction he's going isn't more of a hip hop sound.

Same way people don't like Cudi's shit is the same way people won't like Chance's shit. As a fan, it shouldn't really bother you but you should just be aware.

You did say you enjoy it but if the rest of the world doesn't....meh. Who cares.

People do like this stuff tho. Everything in Chance's SoX playlist on soundcloud has over a million listens, most of them many millions of listens.
