Chance The Rapper, biggest pre-debut buzz since Drake?

[therapist]

Dude's obviously got some influential friends in the music industry. He hasn't even dropped an album yet and has featured big artists on his mix tapes.

Thoughts?

Chance has a huge buzz, but mostly in the hip hop community. Not even as close to the buzz Drake had.


Everyone everywhere, even non-hip hop fans knew Drake was dropping.

Nah, Drake had a bigger buzz..... Most hip hop fans have no idea who this guy is.

I agree... Drake's mixtape splashed & made it clear he's gonna blow up. Chance has make some noise too though... I give him that.

True, true to all of the above comments. Still, Chance's buzz is still incredibly huge for an indi artist who hasn't even dropped yet. I love acid so I loved acid rap. Definitely enjoyed being in that headspace for a while.

Don't forget about J. Cole, my dude
Niggas hype was nuts after The Warm Up and Friday Night Lights

[The Asshole]

Nah he has some hype but still not anywhere close to the level of Drake or even Cole when his first album dropped. Personally I don't give two shits about his buzz listened to Acidrap and it was a straight recycle bin classic to me.

I agree about this part...
