Why You Can’t Help But Love Chance The Rapper

Chance, if you are reading this, I love you.

Why You Can’t Help But Love Chance The Rapper
Rap-Up

Last month, I decided to dress up as Chance the Rapper for Halloween, after recently becoming pretty much obsessed with his music. Despite thinking that no one was going to know who I was trying to be, I was pleasantly surprised when I was approached by so many people about my costume. This night really made me think about how great Chance’s music is, but also just how amazing HE is. So if you somehow read this Chance (which is unlikely considering you never responded to my DM of my Halloween costume on Instagram), just know you are unreal and very much appreciated.

All of his music is free.


Chance the Rapper has never charged fans any money for any of the songs he has released. Ever. All of his profits comes from tours, merchandise, meet-and-greets and deals with companies.


He is extremely charitable.

Chance has used his increasing popularity to give back to the city he grew up in, Chicago. He works with a coat company to provide resources to the homeless, he organizes free concerts and events for kids and even holds “Open Mike” nights for young artists. He was even given the “Outstanding Youth of the Year Award” for everything he does for children in Chicago.

He won't sign a record deal.

Chance has never signed with a record company and says he wants to keep them far away from his music. Despite not having a label, Chance has a top ten album and hosts his own very successful festival.


His apparel is unreal.

Chance may or may not have started the whole overalls trend. Okay, no he didn’t, but he definitely knows how to rock the overalls. Additionally, his incredibly cool merchandise typically features the standard “3” for his third album and consistently sells out.

There is nothing cuter than him in his Kit Kat commercial.

I would honestly be shocked if you could read all of this and still not love Chance the Rapper.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
