CHANCE THE RAPPER Talks Chicago, Mixtapes and Mentors

You were with someone for 22 years?
Who?
Your ex-partner, your ex-wife?
Or you knew her for 22 years?
Yeah.
We grew up in Chicago, so I've known her for, like,
most of my life, yeah.
Are you a single gentleman now?
Yeah.
Have you considered doing what the God did?
You get, like, a girl that looks a little bit like the last one
and then make her be naked?
What?
That is hilarious.

My guest this week is Chicago artist Chance the Rapper.
Now, of course, famously, the last time I welcomed a Chicago artist,
it sparked a firestorm of controversy in the world of rap.
Me and my guest G Herbo had some criticisms for journalist DJ Vlad,
who responded in kind with a direct message.
Some called it a shot heard around the world.
Months later, tensions have remained high between Vlad and G Herbo,
who have been trading blows on social media.
In that time, I've kept myself.
I've kept my head down and I've done some reflection.
And I'm ready to move on from this maelstrom.
In fact, I have a potential gig for DJ Vlad,
if he's willing to hear me out.
And what it is?
So I finally decided to respond to the direct message,
and he was open to further dialogue.
So with that, let's give him a call.
Hello?
Hello, sir.
It's Adam.
What's up, Adam?
I just wanted to parlay with you real quick
and just kind of squash this whatever the misunderstanding was.
Do you guys ever DJ, or is it just a screen name?
Well, I had a long history of DJing before Vlad TV started.
Well, I'm getting married this year and perhaps--
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, and she's lovely.
Do you want to DJ your wedding?
Well, just perhaps I would want you to be part
of the greatest day of my entire life.
Yeah, sure.
I'll show up to that.
Okay.
Well, sir, sir, I feel like my conscience is cleared.
And have a great day, I guess.
All good.
Okay.
Live long and prosper.
Bye.
See you.
He bought it.
Folks, in this crazy world we live in, we don't need any more beef.
We need peace.
And if two sworn enemies like DJ Vlad and myself could see eye to eye,
let that be a lesson to all warring peoples around the world.
And so with that, please enjoy my interview with Chance the Rapper.
This episode is sponsored by Roe.
Roe Sparks are a two-in-one prescription treatment for guys who need a secret
weapon.
It's the new wave.
They hit the bloodstream faster because they dissolve right under the tongue.
So no more waiting to perform after Roe Sparks dissolve.
They work in 15 minutes on average.
They give you the boost to last longer.
And they can give you bigger, longer erections.
And sparks stay active in your system for up to 36 hours.
So you can go back to back, round after round, and be ready the morning after.
Folks, I've been pretty busy on the show, you know?
I haven't had a lot of time to have sex, you know?
But once that starts up again, I think in the quarter three, 2029,
having a big boner is the way I want to be doing it.
And doesn't it sound great that there's a product that works as fast as 15
minutes?
And it lasts up to 36 hours.
And it lasts up to 36 hours, which I can assure you is not how long I last.
With a woman.
Best part is it's done 100% online, so there's no awkward conversation with in-person
providers.
If approved treatment ships directly to your door.
If prescribed, new sexual health patients get $15 off your first order of
sparks on a recurring plan.
Connect with a provider at ro.co/tafs to find out if prescription roast marks
are right for you.
That's ro.co/tafs for $15 off your first order.
And ladies and gentlemen, our next guest is a Grammy award-winning multi-platinum
diamond certified, I believe.
Yeah.
Diamond.
That's even better than platinum, guys.
Diamond certified recording artist.
Ladies and gentlemen, Chance the Rapper, everyone.
Thanks for coming.
Thanks for coming, sir.
Oh, thanks for having me, man.
Thanks for coming, sir.
I appreciate you.
And so I just had--
Should I still be standing there?
No, no, sit down, please.
I had Herb on the show.
Yes.
And I paid tribute by giving him a bottle of 1942.
We love 1942.
Have you had that before?
I have.
But the liquor store, I think I bought the last one because it was like last
week.
So they said this one's good.
It's called Casa Azul.
I'm familiar.
Do you know this one?
It's got the ding.
I see it on like Real Housewives kind of shows.
Mm-hmm.
Vibes.
Yeah.
Like a rich lady who's about to cheat.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She like with like the pool boy.
So we're going to stress out.
You have the same publicist?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So you're going to get stressed out again.
You have a hard out at five.
But we're going to be having this-- what is it?
It's ceramic.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
So let's do it.
You want to do L'chaim?
Yeah.
What we do is we bless the bottle.
Bless it?
Oh, you do grace.
It's sort of, yeah, sort of the same thing.
So you just tap the bottle.
Do you want me to do the Jewish style?
There you go, bow.
That was it.
That was the Jewish style?
Bang.
Oh.
No, no, no.
I mean the Jewish prayer on tequila.
Yeah.
Do you have to say grace before every meal if you're a devout Christian?
Yes.
Or just like if it's a drink, you have to say grace?
Or if it's like a full?
No.
That was more like, that's like some kid weird shit.
I know.
Blessing the bottle, that actually has--
I don't know.
I didn't think of that as religious.
Okay, right.
But like if it's a snack, do you have to say grace?
That's a good question.
I think you do.
You do.
I think in Judaism too, for like, for different-- this is the most boring
conversation ever.
Let's go.
Let's have a look fine.
Let's explore each other's faiths.
I don't have-- I don't-- you know, I don't faith.
I don't faith.
Do you-- you faith?
You're a God-fearing gentleman?
Amen, yeah.
For sure.
Amen.
But we found out today-- this is really blowing my mind-- you were in the
Jewish Student Union?
I was in the JSU.
Why?
Because I have like a ton of Jewish friends that like were really into the same
shit that I was into when I was in high school.
I went to like a really like a--
Smoking Bud.
Smoking Bud.
Yeah, yeah.
Like I was on Lit Mag.
You know what Lit Mag is?
You got good grades.
I didn't get good grades, but I was into things.
So I would be into something, and I would go into-- I would just go and like
join.
And Lit Mag was like all of the like quirky writer folks at my school.
Yeah, girls.
Were there like the--
They were girls.
The glasses girls.
Indie girls.
I was like the indies.
The indie girls.
I was into the indies.
The indie girls.
L'chaim, my friend.
The A24 girls.
Here we go.
The bisexual lighting.
The purple light-- sorry.
Okay.
Thank you for coming on.
Thank you guys.
Yeah.
It's interesting because we just had Herb on the show, and it's like you're of
the same generation,
but I feel like you're like the good kid side of Chicago, and they were the
going outside boys.
It would seem that way.
Yeah.
That's not the truth.
We're from the same hood.
We both from 79th.
I've known Herb for a really, really long time.
He's a great guy.
He's an amazing dude.
And you know, the hood, the hood is the hood.
You know what I'm saying?
It's really just about what you do for the hood.
And Herb does for the hood.
He has a school.
He works with mental health facilities.
He's got kids that he mentors.
Me and him are very, very similar.
Yeah.
And we talk once a week.
That's my dude.
Let's get to your upbringing, your family, and stuff like that.
Like, your father was involved in politics.
Both your parents were?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
My mom a little bit, but my dad, yes, for sure.
He worked for...
He worked for...
He worked for Obama.
He worked for Harold Washington.
He worked for Rahm Emanuel.
He...
He...
So my dad...
Really, I guess I gotta start with my grandmother.
My grandmother was very, like, politically active.
And at a young age, and she had all her kids young.
Like, my dad and my aunties young.
In Chicago?
In Chicago.
Yeah.
And so, you know, Chicago's super politically active space.
This is where Freya Hampton is organizing the Black Panthers.
Where Stokely Carmichael and all these people are gathering and having...
So she was, like, really swept up into that stuff.
And so she would volunteer her kids for certain things.
And then Harold Washington, first black mayor of Chicago.
And, like, I think the first...
It might have been the first black mayor of a major...
Of a metropolitan city.
And so she got them all to sign up for that.
And that kind of got my dad into politics.
And then I think from there, he just always stayed, like, you know...
It still has, like, this grassroots thing of, like...
You know, he was my black club president.
Like, my dad was very, like, on some, like, activism shit.
But he worked...
He did also work for Barack, too.
And so...
That's your boy?
Barry?
Barry?
That's not my boy.
But, you know what I'm saying?
You've met the GOAT before?
I met the GOAT before.
For sure.
Really?
What's his...
What's the energy?
Like, what's...
He's just like he is on TV.
No, he's not.
Yeah.
As a guy?
100%, yeah.
He's, like, let me be...
Or maybe he's just like he is on TV.
He's just like, let me be clear to you?
Yeah.
And he does this?
He does the...
Really?
He does this rock impression.
What do you think he's up to these days?
He's gotta be so bored.
I don't know.
I don't really talk to him.
So, I don't think of him as, like, a person like I think of, like...
Listen, you're best friends with Obama.
Yeah, that's what people...
That's what...
That's what I feel like that's the...
No, I'm...
I'm honored that they gave me, like, they gave me some...
Some shout-outs in the past.
I got a humanitarian award that...
Did you make one of his best of lists for the year?
I was on a playlist once, yeah.
Maybe twice.
That's nepotism.
Your dad got you wrong.
It could have been.
People know people, you know what I'm saying?
Like, that was really what I got into the industry for, was, like...
To get...
To know Obama.
To get on the playlist.
You know what I'm saying?
To get on the Obama playlist of the year.
Yeah, yeah.
What else did he have on that?
March Madness?
I think he did have future.
No, he didn't.
No, he didn't.
I feel like he did have future on that.
No, he didn't.
Maybe not March Madness.
Maybe he's got a future on that.
He has, like, smart stuff on it.
No, he'd be having, like...
He doesn't have dumb...
He always has to have one, like, wink-wink on there.
You know what I mean?
He's a wink-wink.
He has, like, "I cheated on you, but it's only because I'm depressed."
The narrative of future is the best.
Yeah.
Because you still feel bad for him.
He's like, "I'm so sad.
That's why I had to get so much pussy."
It's great.
So much is hilarious.
He's like, "It's because I feel so lonely."
And you're like, "You buy it, too."
Can I have vape on your show?
Is that a thing?
I feel like this is more...
Dude, you hit V?
We're drinking...
Dude, have some more.
Yeah, of course, dude.
Are there a lot of rape...
Rapper...
Are there a lot of rapper vapers?
This guy...
Because vape.
I didn't...
Are there a lot of vapor wrappers?
Vapor wrappers?
Uh...
You hit Juul.
That's old-school style.
Yeah, no.
I'm definitely...
I'm like...
So...
I don't know.
I need to be a part of the class action lawsuit
because I am thoroughly addicted to these
and I am like...
Just so I could watch this back later,
you are
