I’m finally listening to this album now, and... I don’t really understand why so many people are so mad at it? Sure, there are moments that are a bit off, like the white dude screaming on the title track. But for the most part it sounds pretty good.

It reminds me of Three feet high and rising in a way that very few modern rap albums do, lol.

Chance really walked into "wife guy" meme territory, huh
I'm DJing a friend's wedding in a few weeks, what song from this do I play?

Probably several tracks but “get a bag”

I was going to listen to this but then I saw the name "CocoRosie"

One of the funniest ways in which chance ended up at this point, where some of his best material is treated as the worst shit in the world, is that there’s no singular cause... instead it’s like a laundry list of little things, down to him putting cocorosie on his album, a self own so specific that explaining it to someone off ilx requires linking to fifteen year old articles about long forgotten hipster parties ... it really has been career death by a thousand paper cuts

cocorosie only show up for a few seconds too lol
had never thought about comparing gibbard to gartside but their voices do have a similar weird quality to them and i can hear what brad means

it also might explain a reason why i don't really connect with either singer

Timing-wise, he sure walked headfirst into 'wife guy' meme territory

Jordan I'd stick to his bigger/older hits for a wedding gig but that's just me

he should have rolled into the 'i love my wife, iigh' stuff tbh, sold shirts or whatever
― ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Thursday, 22 August 2019 08:30 (four years ago) link
still, a great album
if it has a weak point to me its that he's pulled back somewhat from certain kinds of vulnerable specifics, which i understand on a level of what fame does to a person, but its unfortunate it happened on an album that is so defined by personal relationships ... nonetheless, great songs

the stuff that doesn't really work for me on this is down to "hot shower" (which is fun and goofy i guess but his voice is really grating on it), the part on the title track where francis yells a bunch, and "5 year plan" (which isn't really bad just relatively dull and saccharine?)
in addition to all the wife complaints i keep seeing people complain about the production being bland and lifeless which is even more baffling, i really don't know what people are listening to.

twitter really hates this guy now huh. he's on that wave where no matter what he does someone retweets with a 'look at this dork' and everyone piles on the hate

I never even got around to the last one but find the ott blowback kinda sad.

drake toosie slide has had the “salmon gucci slides” song from this album stuck in my head and it still cracks me up that chance and nicki got together for the first time as a voltron of once beloved celebs who suddenly became twitter villains

ha otm. honestly this is my favorite project of his at this point.

Yikes.
I finally got the answer now. I understand. Yall trust Biden more than yall trust Ye. I think I understand why, I just don’t feel the same way.— Chance The Rapper (@chancetherapper) July 13, 2020

With most celebrities, if I see them trending my first thoughts are "Oh no, did they die?" or "Oh no, are they racist/sexist/homophobic?"With Chance, it's "Oh no, did he say something dumb about Kanye?"— DJP (@djperry1973) July 13, 2020

Hi, @chancetherapper. If you are very obviously a rapper why did you put it in your stage name? I cannot stop thinking about this.— Dionne Warwick (@_DionneWarwick) December 5, 2020

Realized on reading this thread that I'd vaguely (and wrongly) thought of it as a really random Being There reference.
