Has anyone fallen off harder than Chance the Rapper?

[Professor K.]

This is revisonist history for sure, Chance was one the biggest rappers around regardless of how you personally feel about his music.

I think his gimmick just got kind of stale is all, maybe the first time you heard this nikka moan over a gospel type beat it was cool and refreshing but the 50th time probably not so much. I thought the earlier Vic Mensa stuff was much better at the time.



Chance had cool verses though, I also feel like the character in Atlanta that was clearly him kind of stained his rep a bit among his listener base too

I always felt back then that Vic and Chance were both dope but felt like they sounded too much like each other so they both intentionally went out of their way to go in completely different directions and became complete trash because of it. Their fall offs are a big reason why we're missing a generation of rap stars post-"Big 3"

Only so long plants can pretend

 

[Street Knowledge]

He loved his wife

 

[cartierhoe]

Got married, made an album about loving his wife, then got divorced

 

[Stick Up Kid]

In order to fall off, you have to be on

He was never on

Bro what?

He was doing arena tours, dropping #1 records etc. in 2018 era

 

[RennisDeynolds]

Industry plant with political connects. Ran his course

 

[Moesha’s Overbearing Dad]

If there was a thread called Name a rapper you never heard one full album of...

Chance the Rapper

I just never saw ANY reason for me to listen to him

 

[Jaguar93]

“I met Kanye West, I’m never going to fail”

 

[raoulduke187]

when I see that name my brain redirects me to the "wack bacpacker" section

not sure if I ever heard dude's music though

 

[Drip Bayless]

It’s not that complicated, he had one bad album and stopped dropping music. Same thing with Roddy Rich

 

[BmoreGorilla]

I only heard one of his songs. That one with Wayne and 2 Chains on it. I thought maybe I was out the loop becuz dude used to pop up everywhere. Award shows, all star games etc. always wearing the same hat

 

[Legal]

Man, I remember those 3 hats used to be everywhere. But holy shyt was "The Big Day" bad. Never really want to see artists rush music out, but breh going on six years with that being his last release really isn't helping.

 

[Tookalossfellbackcameback]

That brief period where he was popping probably made him enough money to where he can disappear and never drop a second of music again. Don't know how much he might owe his label but when you add in the behind the scenes shyt he was doing for Kanye I'm sure he's touched a few million at least.




He might rebrand as a something else, a politician, a minister...all I know is he's likely rich enough to move how he wants to.

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

saying he was never on is a lie, he was about to become the next big rap superstar from Coloring Book

 

[Capital Steez]

It's always been cool to hate him online, but I've kept this in rotation since it's dropped.


Still would really love to hear him and Vic go back forth on a whole tape that sounds like this.
