“When you get pissed, promise you’re just gonna smoke again,” he says to riotous approval.Īlbum Review: Chance the Rapper, Acid RapĪ few days later, nursing a blunt on a sun-drenched rooftop on Chicago’s West Side, Chance explains how his personality can seem to switch up at such whiplash speed. He kicks quick, clever rhymes from his acclaimed new mixtape, Acid Rap, accompanied by manic, twerking dance moves. When he hits the stage, Chance transforms again, this time into a polished performer. Officially, Chance isn’t the headlining act, but the few thousand people crammed into the tent where he’s about to perform – most of whom appear to be legitimately geeking out over the rapper’s appearance – suggest otherwise. He’s completely silent, head down, eyes fixed, as he gets ready to take the stage at the college street festival that he’s playing tonight. Moments later, Chance (born Chancelor Bennett) is a different person. “I don’t know if I should eat this,” he deadpans. The 20-year-old rapper – dressed in a gray LDRS hoodie, black skinny jeans and mismatched plaid shoes – cracks jokes continuously, pausing only to accept a pot-brownie offering from two teenage fans giving him the thumbs-up through a clear glass window. On an unseasonably warm Friday evening in May, minutes before facing the biggest hometown crowd of his young career, Chance the Rapper races a skateboard around the barren downtown-Chicago office space that’s temporarily doubling as his dressing room.
