Smoke Break really is :banderas1:
Rahm?You don't even understand. Your arguments are so filled with holes it's hilarious. Did you really call Caclemore a plant? No. Macklemore scrapped and grinded for years. Unlike Shrub the rapper who magically had cacplex articles written while suspended in HS. You ever heard that before? As for the political thing. I mean you must not know about democrats and there long ties to entertainment. You must not know his pops is deputy mayor. You must not know Rahm brother is huge in show biz(air gold character in entourage is based off him) And I didn't post anything hypocritical.
And then dumb nikkas like this regurgitate broad general talking points. Like common flower the rapper the only one with a positive message. FOH. He makes faux gospel tracks. How uplifting
choke on a dikk full of negativity, im embracing all kinds of positivity..
you say he makes faux gospel.. yet i bet you bump ALL kinds of trap music telling you 1001 way how to kill and rob nikkas huh ??? foh
Rahm?
Ari Emanuel is at WME, Chance's manager left WME and went to their main competitor CAA before Chance had released his first mixtape and also before his dad was became deputy. So that connection is completely irrelevant.You don't even understand. Your arguments are so filled with holes it's hilarious. Did you really call Caclemore a plant? No. Macklemore scrapped and grinded for years. Unlike Shrub the rapper who magically had cacplex articles written while suspended in HS. You ever heard that before? As for the political thing. I mean you must not know about democrats and there long ties to entertainment. You must not know his pops is deputy mayor. You must not know Rahm brother is huge in show biz(air gold character in entourage is based off him) And I didn't post anything hypocritical.
Chicago hip-hop artist Chance The Rapper became the first artist without any major label affiliation to perform onSaturday Night Live on December 12. The appearance marked his second television performance in six weeks, the first being The Late Showwith Stephen Colbert in October. Chance took a calculated risk early in his career with an avant-garde approach to the music business, and it is paying off in the form of creative control and exposure to millions.
Shortly after his debut mixtape,10 Day,Chance assembled a miniature all-starteamTISI +%to push his career. In a2013 radio interview with Peter Rosenberg,Chance stated that his team consisted of his manager,PatCorcoran, booking agent, Cara Lewis, and publicist, Dan Weiner. The team was small, but carried enough clout in the industry to acquire a collection of magazine covers, music festival performances and opening tour slots. Chance’s campaign became a source of frustration for a number of labels and A&Rs who could not coerce “The Rapper” to sign on the dotted line – a business philosophy demonstrating that it is better to hire than to be hired.
Although Chance had not released a self-branded project since his 2013 mixtape,Acid Rap, the 22-year-old fed his fan base with provocative live performances and free music. In 2014 Chance headlined Chicago’s Lollapalooza Music Festival two months before he was scheduled to headline the fall semester of the Verge Campus Tour. He then made press headlines in 2015 when he released the long-awaited collaborative album,Surf, entirely for free on iTunes. In promotion for the free album, Chance appeared at a number of summer music festivals weeks before his 27-date Family Matters Tour. The sold-out shows and well-executed PR campaigns served as assets to high-profile collaborations with acts such as J. Cole, Erykah Badu,Justin Bieber, R. Kelly, Busta Rhymes, anda rumored joint effort with Madonna.
An anti-establishment attitude toward the music industry is alluring, but comes with a number of setbacks, mostly financial. In Chance’s 22-year life span, music has been available for free – as is the case for most millennials. Although the idea of receiving higher royalty percentages from his music was captivating it was not enough to dissuade him from releasing music for free on Soundcloud and iTunes. The shrewd businessman in the making has survived off of show revenue and merchandise sales, earning him a spot onFORBES’ 30 Under 30 In Music: Class of 2015list.
It could be Chance’s new chapter of fatherhood (he welcomed a daughter in September), or his desire to share his creations with his peers at no upfront cost that prompts him to pave a way for the next generation of independent creatives. Regardless, for quite some time the term “independent” was a polite way of labeling your favorite musician as an underground act with a modest fan base whose talents may never reach the masses.
“I told your ass since day 1, I don’t like labels or titles,” Chance claims in his latest single, “Somewhere In Paradise”. Throughout his three-year career he has made it clear that he does not intend on signing with a record label anytime soon. However, the title of becoming the “first independent artist to perform on Saturday Night Live” may stick with him for a while.
Is Chance The Rapper Indie Artists' New Team Captain?
Yes. But Im also bumping Drake, Kaytranda, and Kendricks EP. Go away with your self righteous fakkitry.
Sounds like drake to me.His father is heavy with Obama and Rahm. We all know Rahm has entertainment ties. That's who pushing him. How else a senior or whatever he was when release one song in 09 get all this praise out the blue? He didn't just catch on. And he continues to get pushed despite no real interest because the industry has been desperately trying to make him the new Kanye since that Taylor swift incident and Ye continuing to be an insufferable a$$hole. He's a safe, bland, uninteresting nikka. Industry loves that.
Don't call me the n word cac. Cactus the rapper fans you gonna get on your black entitlement speech and let dude call me this? Whether or not his music is good is your opinion. I'm arguing about his authenitcity as far as rise and that is undeniable
Yet you Stan drake who undoubtedly is a plant.
That's the weird thing, there's so much hate in with these flabby and sick fukkboys with that loser ass mentality. Instead of giving a dude props for exposing that major labels are overpriced. They want to hate on a young breh.The plant shyt can stop
