The Big Day - Chance the Rapper

One Last Breath: An Autopsy of Awful Albums

29-07-2023 • 1時間 3分

In todays episode of One Last Breath your hosts will be discussing debut album “The Big Day” by Chicago rapper Chance the Rapper. Chance was on top of the rap game in 2016. He had 3 critically acclaimed mixtapes under his belt and had arguably one of the greatest feature verses not just of the year, but of all time on Kanye West’s track “Ultralight Beam”. Chance had built up so much momentum, surely his next project would be the icing on the cake, right? Well, Chance’s bar “I met Kanye West I’m never going to fail” aged like milk in a hot car because his fall from grace is perhaps one of the quickest ever to happen in music. “The Big Day” was a massive failure in many aspects. Sure it had decent to positive critical reception, but Chance’s fan ads completely turned on him, as the album was seen as a downgrade in every single aspect of what made his music special in the first place. Was this massive fall off justified, or was the public perhaps blowing it out of proportion?
