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

I must be in a morbid mood because it's the death-related lines that stuck with me.

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)

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.

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.

criticizing the audience for not 'having fun'
Everyone does this now.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 18 September 2013 22:35 (ten years ago) link
I mean, obviously not acts who are good enough live to make the audience actually have fun, but there are a lot of butthurt whining performers around nowadays.

idk having seen them perform up close sounds like someone who isn't used to the way a rap DJ interacts w/ the crowd

he killed live when we saw him in toronto.
show sold out. originally was 15$ ended up being way more expensive if you didn't get tickets in advance (we did).
high energy all the way through, crowd knew the words to most of the songs, chance was loving it. granted he wasn't opening for a big tour - it was a day off in between stops on the mac miller tour and he was the headliner at the hoxton which is small-ish but still, he definitely knows how to work a crowd.

Actually, yeah, I thought DJ Oreo was great. The intro was amazing fun.
But don't get me wrong, the show was fine as a whole. I go to rap show often enough, but was surprised that they really took it in the direction of full blown party atmosphere. Sometimes the hype and vibe works to just enhance what's already there, sometimes it feels a bit forced. Maybe I just wasn't feeling for some reason.
Under the circumstances, for a Wednesday night in Amsterdam, they had to work hard and in the end it was pretty crazy.
― MikoMcha, Thursday, 19 September 2013 09:25 (ten years ago) link
Really picked up on the Eminem influence on Chance live tho.

Men don’t comfort or love her in reality. They only have sex with her in her fantasies. In her dreams, he still deeply cares for her (at least sexually)This guy that she likes doesn’t love her, or really take her seriously, or show her any real affection (sexual or not). And even in her dreams when he does show her “love” it’s only because of the sex. Which isn’t even love, it’s lust. So, either way, she’s not getting what she truly wants from him.
