the tape opening with a re-do of an old Kanye tape intro is the opposite of an auspicious opening imo

Hmm, I didn't realize this. I just heard the horns and voices and it was like all the sunbeams were pointed straight at me for a moment.

the outro of the final track is one of the absolute best parts of this tape

One of the problem with the voice it is that at its most grating on Juice, which is the first single. Once I powered through it, I was fine. I really hope he doesn't get buried because of the voice like Joanna Newsom did.
Not impressed with the James Blake remix, and I usually really enjoy James Blake.

isn't she doing pretty well for herself

well unfortunately there's no history of rappers with "weird" voices achieving wide success for us to draw on

Sorry, wasn't aware of many rappers whose voice grated some like Chance's. It is an odd comparison.
― Van Horn Street, Wednesday, 18 September 2013 04:50 (ten years ago) link
Maybe it's the "neh neh neah" voice that's the most annoying... And some of the singing as well...

this talk about his weird grating voice is strange to me because it's so similar to lil wayne's? i mean not identical but certainly in the same lane, and it's made pretty obvious at the start of the tape when he says "please say the rapper"
i'm mostly with rtc in that i don't find what chance says particularly compelling, it's all a bit too backpackery for me though i don't hate it or anything
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 18 September 2013 17:50 (ten years ago) link
what does 'too backpackery' mean in relation to what he's talking abt
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Wednesday, 18 September 2013 17:50 (ten years ago) link
i def thought his earlier stuff was a little too much The Craft Of Song and not enough of him in it, but recent stuff is more fully fleshed out.
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Wednesday, 18 September 2013 17:51 (ten years ago) link
Man...I can't at all understand anyone who says they don't find him compelling. "Paranoia" breaks my heart every time I hear it. I can't remember the last song that did the same.
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 18 September 2013 18:02 (ten years ago) link
yeah i don't get that criticism at all
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 18 September 2013 18:06 (ten years ago) link
Rapping about your close friend being stabbed to death doesn't strike me as excessively backpackery tbh
― Deafening silence (DL), Wednesday, 18 September 2013 18:09 (ten years ago) link
Lol at the idea of reducing a goofball like him to I R SERIOUS RAP tho, even if he does have some shit gettin' too real moments
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 18 September 2013 18:10 (ten years ago) link
that one's not on acid rap
idk it's all fine i guess but it doesn't feel distinct, or anything i feel i need to go back to? nothing about it is substandard but i can't pinpoint anything that really stands out for me, i feel like it all reminds me of other stuff
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 18 September 2013 18:11 (ten years ago) link
oh the weed coughs are pretty dnw i guess
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 18 September 2013 18:12 (ten years ago) link
I must be in a morbid mood because it's the death-related lines that stuck with me.
― Deafening silence (DL), Wednesday, 18 September 2013 18:15 (ten years ago) link
"Paranoia"? It's like part 2 of the second track.

I got a new backpack. I'm gonna put the Chance album in it!

oh is that why there's a huge gap in the middle of "pusha man", i did wonder
sorry, it didn't hit me or grab me then :/ i admit my attention had almost completely wandered by the last few tracks though. (this was a long-belated relisten, i hadn't heard it since my first go)

we all sing along to the chorus on Cocoa Butter Kisses, right?

Agreed. "Acid Rain" is awesome.

I think he'll be great live, despite my earlier posts. And do think it's clearly one of the best tapes this year.
― MikoMcha, Wednesday, 18 September 2013 18:34 (ten years ago) link
"acid rain" is totally gripping

Yeah... it was okay.
Maybe chanting U.S.A. and running off stage at the end isn't an awesome move in Europe. In fact, there were more than a few amateurish moves, including cutting off tracks early and sort of criticizing the audience for not 'having fun', but I guess he's still finding his feet in front of different audiences.
