Ep. 47: Why is Chance the Rapper so Unlikable?

This week on the Season 2 premiere of Catch Up, James and Jordan talk about the increasing critical backlash to one of rap’s biggest stars, Chance the Rapper. The two discuss Chance’s early masterpiece ‘Acid Rap’, his cultural ascendance following the release of ‘Coloring Book’, and the lukewarm reception to his debut album ‘The Big Day’.
