Chance The Rapper Quotes

I don’t really have control over my direct impression on people anymore. I used to be the person putting my CD in people’s hands. But I’m kind of a mainstream artist now. Not by choice Picture Quote #1

I made the decision that I was going to make rap music in, like, fourth grade, so it’s been something I was saying for a long time Picture Quote #1

For me, performing is the biggest part of being a rapper. There’s nothing like the feeling of screaming your story to people Picture Quote #1

When you’re a Chicago artist, to play Lollapalooza, that’s not a normal thing. It’s artists on a path to a certain place that do that. Chief Keef did it; Kids These Days did it; Cool Kids did it. And I’m the next Cool-Kids-Chief, if you will Picture Quote #1

I’m light skinned, and I used to lean on that because that’s something a lot of black people pride themselves on, and it’s weird Picture Quote #1

I don’t really like meetings, I like recording and performing music. I need to set myself up for when the time does come that I need better distribution or just a bigger team behind me Picture Quote #1

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work

A year from now you'll wish you started today

There’s a hunger in me that always wants to be creating and orating, telling people something and giving them information and getting feedback. There are so many questions that I’m trying to ask, and I’m still so far from being done saying what I gotta say Picture Quote #1

Chicago is a beautiful city - the architecture, the food, everything in the city is awesome Picture Quote #1

The whole point of ‘Acid Rap’ was just to ask people a question: does the music business side of this dictate what type of project this is? If it’s all original music and it’s got this much emotion around it and it connects this way with this many people, is it a mixtape? What’s an ‘album’ these days, anyways? Picture Quote #1

The weird thing about rap is that you don’t get compared in the same way that athletes do, even though it’s probably the most competitive sport in music. In basketball, they look at a player and say: ‘This guy was the best in his prime at this sport.’ But in rap it’s not until you’re dead or retired that people think about it like that Picture Quote #1

People wanna say that they’re part Native American or mixed, or anything other than black. We’re raised to believe that there’s something better about not being fully black, something eccentric about it. I’m saying I used to tell girls that I was mixed, which is a bold-faced lie! Picture Quote #1

People always tell me I’m the complete opposite of Chief Keef and act like I’m supposed to stop him from making his music. But I like Chief Keef, so it’s always super awkward. I just make music I like Picture Quote #1

You don't need someone to complete you. You only need someone to accept you completely

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken

Music can kind of make you one-dimensional. People see what’s on the surface and what you rap about, and they make their decision on who you are from there Picture Quote #1

It wasn’t until I left that I realised it’s not weird to grow up in certain cities and, by the age of 27 or 28, for all of your friends to still be alive. I can think of a lot of kids that I knew in Chicago who were supposed to grow up but didn’t Picture Quote #1

I think it’s so dope that I’m here in Chicago and contributing to the music scene that’s thriving. People are so happy Chicago’s shining that everyone is willing to say ‘I represent Chicago.’ That wasn’t always the case Picture Quote #1

I don’t know where people think I’m from, but I’m from Chicago. It’s really just that. People wanna romanticize it and say, ‘There’s two sides to it, and it’s a beautiful love/hate story of violence and music.’ But it’s really just a very scummy place where people don’t have respect for other people’s lives Picture Quote #1

I’ve never met Eminem; you don’t meet Eminem. He has his own secret service Picture Quote #1

I think even before I knew I wanted to be a rapper, I wanted to be an entertainer. I was really into Michael Jackson as a kid Picture Quote #1

When I first saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew

Don't look back you're not going that way

Jeremih has been my favorite artist to collab with Picture Quote #1

Sometimes the truth don’t rhyme Picture Quote #1

Whats better than followers, is actually falling in love Picture Quote #1

Sometimes the truth don’t rhyme, sometime the lies get millions of views, funerals for little girls is that appealing to you? Picture Quote #1

Both of my parents graduated from high school, both attended college, both have government jobs now. They’ve always been very adamant about me finishing high school and finishing college Picture Quote #1

Kanye took me from a kid who listened to music to a kid who lived music Picture Quote #1

Having you in my life made everything better
