Prolly one of the most elaborate industry plants in recent memory.

Imma just copy and paste this

''
To preface; my definition of an industry plant is someone the music industry chose to become successful, ultimately to make them and the artist money. In Chances instance, they gave him the "independent" look; for him to take the underground role and make people essentially say "support him because no one else does"!

Chance is a young musician, so his background isn't too extensive.

He dropped his FIRST mixtape in 2012.

I personally don't remember this tape gaining any traction or popularity in the streets or on the net. Wikipedia does say that this project was reviewed in forbes and complex magazine. Despite this being his very first music project, it is pretty well recorded, mixed, and mastered. The tape revolves around the theme of "i was suspended from school. School is so lame. Drugs are cool. Am i right fellow teenagers age 13-18??"

He dropped his second mixtape in 2013.

This is where Chances career took a sharp incline to the top of the rap game. This tape features amazing production and live instrumentation. Features from not only chicagos finest (bj the kid and twista) but some oddballs were thrown in there like Cali's Ab-Soul or NY's Action Bronson.

If you don't know how much it takes to make a rap album, i personally can attest that it takes 10s of thousands of dollars to do. Chance being only 20 years old obviously had to have some type of monetary support to create a tape this polished.

Despite him telling every single person "hey I'm independent #nolabel, i want to put this project out for free"; 95% of people would say "that's okay, but i still have to charge you for this studio session".

(I'm skipping surf and the tape with Lil b cause they don't push my agenda.)

He dropped his third tape (the tape he recently won a grammy for) in 2016.

At this point in his career Chance has reached a level unexplainable. Lil Wayne, Kanye West, 2 Chainz. Young Thug, Justin Beiber. T-Pain. The list goes on. The theme of this project was simply "i don't do drugs anymore. I'm past that. Thank god, fukk the devil AKA THE MAN." (i could be wrong about this last one, i didn't like coloring book much.)

So in conclusion; Chance The Rapper is an industry plant. CMV''.

In 3 years you win a grammy? No one's that good. Plus he has the same agent as Eminem.

It's bizarre the lengths people will go to try and come up with conspiracies to explain how a rapper they don't personally like is popular. Rather than just understand that there are all sorts of different demographics, regions and clicks that you are not connected with and who may listen to different artists than you, it has to be some plot.
