Can I talk to you bout Chance for a second. I think there is a lot to be said about authenticity. I think that's why myself and a lot of people are attracted to Chances music. It's not 100% about who's got the best bars or the best punchlines. Music isn't all about lyric. Nor is it all about beat. It's all about music. It's about how you feel. I see a lot of talk in this thread about how certain artists should drop this trend or stop doing this or that. It, to me comes back to authenticity. Someone said up in the thread that they don't buy into the whole gospel rap typea thing, now look I'm a devout atheist. Don't have a religious bone in my body. But when I hear chance praise the lawwwd I find myself wanting to praise along with him. The honesty and integrity that he shows in his music, stands above and beyond some dope verse. I might be a dick rider and I might be a bit drunk, but damn man. When I was about 13-14 I started listening to a lot of hip hop, but when I hit 2pac I found something different. Something that seemed to be an honest and legitimate expression of self it wasn't about how many skrrrt skkkrrrrts can I put in a song but how can I convey a feeling or a state of mind. Not for the artist but the people listening.

Damn man. I should come to HHH when I been drinking
