Why is the industry pushing Chance The Rapper on us?

[Carlton Banks]

This guy is getting Grammys, doing major performances, getting looks from Jay, Beyonce, Etc.. meanwhile I can't name one song from dude. I'm just curious as to how this all started. Did I miss something? Did he pop off from a meme or dance and I'm just late? Fill me in

"meanwhile, i can't name one song by him"

The higher ups want Drake gone

But they need an artist that has music we know about first

bro stop, you ain't fooling no one. you post on a fairly obscure hip hop forum yet you only know new artists cuz the club, radio etc ?

theres been tons of threads made on here about him and his music and one of his songs charted and got radio play

How old are you?
Most people now and days have way more ways to find music than what's on the radio and at a club

Higher ups = Jay z = don't dictate shyt.

Chance can't come close to Drake, you have to be able to make club music.

People like you exemplify the problem with modern day music fans. Ironically the main tool thr industry uses to promote artists is the radio so everything you listen to is pushed.

I've never seen this thread before

It's because his music is safe and it appeals to the white hipster bloggers

I agree, im tired of hearing about this nikka, and he's all over the place but for some reason his music isn't registering. I literally only know one song from him and thats the one where hes talking about the dreadhead nikkas in the lobby. And I didn't even know it was his song for the longest

I definitely been seeing the name, but haven't been interested enough to click... I know what the nikka look like but for some reason I was thinking he was some Nickelodeon kid or actor/rapper like Childish Gambino...
