What’s better than followers, is actually falling in love.
‘Chance the Rapper’ is many things. I’m constantly evolving.
Kanye took me from a kid who listened to music to a kid who lived music.
I want to travel overseas and help out people all over the world.
Depending on the story that you’re telling, you can be relatable to everybody or nobody. I try and tell everybody’s story.
I’m still a very frugal person. But everything that does get spent is a reinvestment into my own music.
Don’t make the music that they like. Make them like the music that you make. It wouldn’t be cool if you were just making it so that they fuck with it. What’s the point?
Sometimes the truth don’t rhyme.
Fame or perceived success – it all comes from groupthink.
There’s a hunger in me that always wants to be creating and orating, telling people something and giving them information and getting feedback.
I’d say it’s very forward. Everything you write as an artist is about your legacy and your catalog, and how you would look in a museum.
There’s nothing like doing a show at home. When you do a show in Chicago, there’s just a certain love that you don’t feel anywhere else; it’s like home base.
I write a lot. There’s always just different things I’m thinking about.
Even then, it was still kind of—I was in sixth grade. I was always saying I was going to become a rapper.
There’s not really a responsibility at all to tell people of your accomplishments, but I think in Kanye’s situation, it’s Kanye West.
What’s wrong with me is what is right with me I am madly, insanely, in jealously in perfect love!
Rap music is a combination of many different arts to make something new.
Music can kind of make you one-dimensional.
There’s nothing like the feeling of screaming your story to people.
Everybody’s somebody’s everything.
