I dug Acid Rap and some tracks off 10 Day. I do not hear any of that on this album tbh. This sounds like everything I disliked about Coloring Book put into a blender with a bunch of collaborators I could care less about and spewed into a, IMO, bad album. I’m with you on the hyperbole thing being played out but some people won’t like this album because Chance isn’t making music for them anymore and that’s ok, just like it’s ok to like it.
I was about to post something very similar until I saw this. Completely agree with everything you said. To me, Coloring Book is what started the shift in his music to this more mainstream, cheerful, feature heavy songs. Acid Rap was lighting in a bottle and quite possibly the best mixtape of all time (besides Faces from Mac Miller imo). He set bar extremely high at a young age and I dont fault him for expanding his tastes and sound, its just not for me though and thats totally fine. I am thankful for his early stuff and the contributions he's made to the hip hop culture.
