   The joy of being a fan of a particular artist is watching that artist develop, to evolve their music while keeping /growing what made us loveThe joy of being a fan of a particular artist is watching that artist develop, to evolve their music while keeping /growing what made us love them in the first place. Why love Chance? He is crazy, goofy, and funny, but also introspective, value oriented, and deeply caring of what happens to his family and the community he is apart of. He's the type of rapper to talk about how its been a "long time" since he's seen his grandmother smile, then turn around and ask the "f*!# you talm bout" if you come at him the wrong way because of what his city has taught him. That's a little of what we get from #10Day, which I believe deserves at least a 7 out of 10 due to its sheer amount of different from what the mainstream provides. Then he gives us Acid Rap. As the title suggests, its a little bit trippy, but not in a negative way. On this mixtape, Chance fans should immediately notice the increased level of production, a slightly more mature Chance since high school evidenced by songs like "Paranoia(second half of Pusha Man), "Lost," "Everybody's Something", and "Acid Rain", and a rapper that still lets us know he's down to party and have fun on songs like "Juice," "Smoke Again," "Nana," and "Favorite Song." We even get a bit of both on the songs "Cocoa Butter Kisses" and "Chain Smoker." The order of the mixtape is well put together, beginning with a hyped kind of intro and ending with a mellowed out, yet slightly hyped outro. Fitting, because that fits the mood of how the tracks transition in the order of the tape. He's in your face. He wants to be your hero because he's worried problems of a troubled community, and he's both, an aspiring "Captain-save-a-hood" indeed. Although his voice is quite different from most of the mainstream, perhaps it needs to be to catch the average listeners attention, maybe not. He is defiantly an artist that does take adjustment to, so that his always present signature high pitched screech of a voice may be enjoyed. Once the voice barrier is passed, its then all about his lyrics and the beats, both appropriately placed on "Acid Rap." He successfully gives the listener a clear picture of growing up in a troubled Chicago community, presenting a scared but nevertheless caring young man that wants everyone to know his story, and hopefully create some change. So. Good message. Not overly simplistic, developed beats. And lyrics that can alternately fit at a party or a deep thinking session. Sounds like a top-notch mixtape to me… Expand

   He sure has a funny voice, and he sure is funny with it. His flow's are beyond the most out, his wordplays are clever and the production isHe sure has a funny voice, and he sure is funny with it. His flow's are beyond the most out, his wordplays are clever and the production is really fitting to Chance The Rapper's style! One of the best hip hop releases, and a favourite mixtape in my book. Maybe the best release so far this year. Hip Hop nerd's and oldies (me) need to get of the comfort zone, this is a creative project. Originality is what hip hop would bring, this is it. Yeah it's trippy but songs like Paranoia (the hidden track at the end of Pusha Man) are so meaningful, real, sad and wonderful to hear. In this dude, I see greatness and with a record deal he has the potential to accomplish big things in the mainstream scene, maybe a game changer album. One word to rap this up, I love it.… Expand

   Acid Rap is a mixtape that seems to only grow better with age. When I first heard this I thought "This kid's flow is sloppy his ad-libs areAcid Rap is a mixtape that seems to only grow better with age. When I first heard this I thought "This kid's flow is sloppy his ad-libs are stupid" but then I realized that's what makes Chance such a great unique MC. He managed to make experimental hip-hop catchy. He is one of the best new school artists for hooks. (with fellow Chicago MC Mick Jenkins) The guest features are great until we get to Ab-Soul. Who seems to jump on any B grade rappers mixtape/album to attempt to catch up to the shine that other TDE powerhouses are achieving with their own projects. Ab-Soul delivers one of the weakest verses from a respectable lyrical MC of 2013. A shame. At almost every opportunity Chance shines on Acid Rap.… Expand

I honestly like it much better than Coloring Book. I was so close to giving it a 9 but I decided some of the songs toward the end drop the score just a bit. Still great though.

   Literally one of the worst pieces of music I’ve ever heard. Chance’s voice is obnoxious and he’s not doing anything special.
