Even before I saw the vid for Sunday Candy, this felt like what would happen if Michel Gondry made a rap album.
Don't understand why they chose to make you slog all the way through this quite hazy, insubstantial sprawl before you get to Sunday Candy, which is great and catchy and infuriating all at the same time.

damn chance's colbert performance tonight was really really fun
the new track is awesome too, really what i pictured his post-acid rap music could grow into

how do i set my alarm clock so i can wake up to 'angels' every morning. pierre joy

new song is pretty cool, feel like there's a greater pop song buried in there somewhere but the r&b parts over that production is pretty undeniable. might prefer the live version actually but this + "angels" and even the slowed down "sunday candy" are all very very good
if they're indicative of where his new tape is gonna be it will be a tremendous record

― sam jax sax jam (Jordan), Thursday, 5 May 2016 19:56 (eight years ago) link
really hope they're entirely separate entities

ha
― Number None, Thursday, 5 May 2016 20:13 (eight years ago) link
i mean...they lived in the same house at one point, i really was worried circa 2014 that Chance's next album would be a Blake collab thing
― some dude, Thursday, 5 May 2016 20:39 (eight years ago) link
oh this should be cool
sometimes i have to admit i get really annoyed by his voice, when it's right i love chance but when i don't want to hear him i REALLY don't want to hear him
― marcos, Thursday, 5 May 2016 20:41 (eight years ago) link
i hated that sunday candy video sooooooo much but i can't really get w/ musicals in general though
― marcos, Thursday, 5 May 2016 20:43 (eight years ago) link
aw man that's a great video
― Spottie, Thursday, 5 May 2016 20:52 (eight years ago) link
yea it's more my own thing w/ musicals, they are just too much for me, i feel embarassed for everyone involved including me as an audience member but i know people love them so i can easily see why people would like it
― marcos, Thursday, 5 May 2016 20:54 (eight years ago) link
new song is pretty all right imo http://pitchfork.com/news/65439-chance-the-rapper-lil-wayne-and-2-chainz-release-new-song-no-problem-listen/?mbid=social_twitter
― if young slothrop don't trust ya i'm gon' rhyme ya (slothroprhymes), Thursday, 12 May 2016 18:05 (eight years ago) link
the wayne & 2 chainz verses feel more like a flex than logical additions to the song, which otherwise sounds pretty amazing
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 12 May 2016 18:09 (eight years ago) link
2 chainz verses always logical additions imo
― dc, Thursday, 12 May 2016 18:11 (eight years ago) link
idk who produced it but it kinda sounds like a kanye beat that exploded

― if young slothrop don't trust ya i'm gon' rhyme ya (slothroprhymes), Thursday, 12 May 2016 18:14 (eight years ago) link
i already regret my earlier post. wayne sounds great... he's kinda doing a "let the beat build" thing
― J0rdan S., Friday, 13 May 2016 03:20 (eight years ago) link
"half a milli in the safe another in the pillowcase / codeine got me moving slower than a caterpillar race" is some real good vintage wayne

i thought the song with thug & lil yachty was kind of aggressively offputting but yeah
― J0rdan S., Friday, 13 May 2016 03:51 (eight years ago) link
i didnt mind it, even dug yachty's verse altho he's clearly outclassed
its very optimistic music

I could not.
― human and working on getting beer (longneck), Friday, 13 May 2016 09:40 (eight years ago) link
What I could do without is the muddy mixing, especially on the opening tracks.

this is good imo
― (•̪●) (carne asada), Friday, 13 May 2016 13:27 (eight years ago) link
i had just cranked it up when vocoder Kanye (?) comes in on the first track, and twice the volume of the rest of the mix.
for all the noise he's made about how free releases should be eligible for Grammys, you'd think he'd gotten have a better mixing & mastering pass on this.
― sam jax sax jam (Jordan), Friday, 13 May 2016 13:39 (eight years ago) link
also i never thought i'd hear Bieber over a Mount Kimbie sample.
― sam jax sax jam (Jordan), Friday, 13 May 2016 13:40 (eight years ago) link
there is so much jesus on this album that it made me feel physically nauseous by the end
like i'd never really connected w/chance on an emotional level and the amount of god-n-family stuff is p much why, and it's so overbearing here
lots of nice beats though but whatever i can't listen to this again

my firm view that christianity is a poison is informed 100% by too much, not too little, exposure to it
― cher guevara (lex pretend), Friday, 13 May 2016 15:25 (eight years ago) link
my firm view is that popular music as we know it literally does not exist without black church music
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Friday, 13 May 2016 15:52 (eight years ago) link
i'm sure you can trace the history of music further back than that, not that it's a relevant point to make
― cher guevara (lex pretend), Friday, 13 May 2016 15:58 (eight years ago) link
lol i'm as atheist as could but getting down on this for the gospel speak is laughable imo

why is it laughable to have a negative reaction to overbearing christianity?
